Chen Xu shook his head helplessly. His grandfather told me that Xiao Jinting had taken the Deity Transformation Pill together with most of the treasures in the cave. Chen Lifeng only got a small number of treasures, but he couldnât tell anyone about it. Even if he told the truth, no one would believe him. Chen Xu thought his grandfather had taken the wrong blame.
Xu Lingfeng rubbed his chin and looked at Chen Xu. âYou are as popular as Xiao Jinting.â
He thought to himself, âXiao Jinting is so charming that Ice Palace has been tracking him down all these years. So is Chen Xu. So many Nascent Souls came for him. Iâm a rare genius, but few come for me.â
Chen Xu was speechless. Heâd rather not be popular in this way.
Xiao Xiaojin soothed Xu Lingfeng, âGrandfather, you are charming too. Although you are as popular as Father and Xu, donât slight yourself.â
Xu Lingfeng glanced at Xiao Xiaojin and thought, âMy grandson is soothing me sincerely, but I donât feel better. Iâm not as popular as Xiao Jinting, and now Iâm not as good as Xu.â
Xiao Xiaofan said ruefully, âIt seems that there are fewer cultivators these days.â
Xu Lingfeng said lazily, âThe death of the previous cultivators cools them down.â
â¦
At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Lin Xueâe said with a frown, âItâs been a long time since Elder Xiao left.â
Dongcheng Yang sighed. After Xiao Jinting left, the cultivators of Ice Palace came to see him. He didnât know what they wanted.
He said, âI donât know when he will be back.â
When Xiao Jinting came back, Dongcheng Yang might have to call him Senior.
It was said that Chen Lifeng set up Huangfu Xuan and Hu Tian and killed them. Dongcheng Yang didnât think Chen Lifeng was capable of that. The one behind this might be Xiao Jinting.
After Xiao Jinting came out of the Deity Transformationâs cave, he disappeared. Dongcheng Yang wondered if anything happened to him.
Ling Xueâe said, âRumor has it that Elder Xiaodong was seen overseas. They were going through retribution.â
Dongcheng Yang rubbed his fingers and said, âItâs almost time they made advancements.â
Lin Xueâe said, âCultivators went to look for Chen Xu and survived the battle said Xiaodong and Xiaofan had advanced to Nascent Souls.â
Dongcheng Yang tapped at the table and said slowly, âThe Xiao family is unusual. Itâs not surprising that the whole family has advanced to Nascent Souls.â In that case, the family was too powerful.
Lin Xueâe couldnât help saying, âWhy donât Elder Xiao and Elder Xu come back?â
Dongcheng Yang said reflectively, âPerhaps Jinting offended Ice Palace. They have been acting strangely.â
Lin Xueâe muttered, âMany people went to look for Chen Xu, and most of them didnât come back. Those came back went mad.â
â¦
Xiao Jinting opened his eyes, which glowed with a golden light.
During the years, he had solidified his cultivation. Sending the rich spiritual power in his body, he got excited. Although he didnât make any advancement, his soul force had been improved hugely.
Bing Cheng had set up surveillance devices over the years across the sea area where Xiao Jinting had disappeared.
Bing Ning said, âCheng, you have been looking for Xiao Jinting for many years. Why donât you go back to Ice Palace?â
Bing Cheng looked at the peaceful sea and said, âI have a feeling that Xiao Jinting is here.â
Bing Ning said, âYou are too obsessive with him.â
Bing Cheng gritted his teeth without moving. He had been looking for Xiao Jinting during the years but in vain. He had thought of giving up, but he was reluctant to do that.
Suddenly, they heard a quiet voice. âAre you looking for me?â
Bing Cheng was happy to see Xiao Jinting. âYou finally show up.â
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, âIâve been hiding for too long. I need to have some fresh air.â
Bing Cheng gave a broad smile and said, âEnjoy the fresh air before you die. After today, you wonât have any chances.â
Xiao Jinting said, âThatâs exactly what I want to say to you.â
Bing Chengâs face darkened. âYou are risking your neck.â
He roared angrily, and dozens of ice dragons charged at Xiao Jinting. Bing Chengâs weapon was a wand with a dragon crystal on the top. Xiao Jinting guessed the ward was a treasure from ancient times.
Xiao Jinting said, âStab.â Several spiritual swords flew out and killed the ice dragons effortlessly.
Bing Ning turned pale. âThey are made of Heaven Thunder Wood.â
Xiao Jinting said, âGo to die.â He tossed out the Soul Bell, which trapped Bing Cheng inside. Xiao Jinting hit the bell with his swords, and it gave a long sound. Bing Cheng screamed in the bell. Xiao Jinting hit the bell a few times.
Seeing that things were out of control, Bing Ning left Bing Cheng behind and flew away.
Xiao Jinting opened the bell and found Bing Cheng was bleeding all over. Apparently, the bell rings destroyed everything inside his body, and he died.
Xiao Jinting examined Bing Cheng and saw that his soul had perished inside his body.
Xiao Jinting burnt Bing Chengâs body. He felt an invisible mark come into his body after Bing Cheng died. He worked up his soul force and searched his body for a long time before he found a mark. It took him some time to erase the mark.
Following that, Xiao Jinting put away Bing Chengâs space ring and left.
