Xu Lingfeng scanned Xiao Jinting with his soul force. Xiao Jinting looked at him and asked helplessly, âFather, what are you doing?â
Xu Lingfeng said seriously, âChen Xu said that you killed advanced Nascent Souls like ants. I saw you get scared away by a fat man and a woman, and I want to see if Chen Xu was exaggerating.â
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
He asked, âWhat have you found?â
Xu Lingfeng shook his head and said, âNothing.â Xiao Jinting looked like a real advanced Golden Core, and Xu Lingfeng couldnât see that he had concealed his strength.
Xu Lingfeng asked suspiciously, âJinting, did you really kill advanced Nascent Souls like ants?â
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, âNo. They were not ants at all. Xu was exaggerating.â
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said, âI think heâs exaggerating. You look impotent. It doesnât make sense.â
Xiao Jinting shook his head and decided not to argue with Xu Lingfeng. He would bear with him on Xu Muanâs account.
Xu Lingfeng saw the tolerance on Xiao Jintingâs face and felt displeased, thinking, âDoes this bastard think Iâm a spoiled kid?â
Xiao Jinting worked up his soul force and searched around the island carefully.
He said, âI found Chen Lifeng.â
Xu Lingfeng asked in surprise, âYou found him? So soon?â
He arrived at the island earlier than Xiao Jinting. He searched the island, but he didnât find anything.
However, he was not anxious. If he could easily locate Chen Lifeng, the latter should have been found by others. After all, Chen Lifeng was an advanced Nascent Soul, and he had his own protection methods.
âYes. Letâs go.â
Xu Lingfeng followed Xiao Jinting suspiciously. They entered a hill, where Chen Lifeng made a cave in the center and set up illusion arrays, which helped him escape the searching.
When Xiao Jinting showed up in the cave, Chen Lifeng opened his eyes. He let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Xiao Jinting and Xu Lingfeng.
âItâs you.â Chen Lifeng didnât trust Xu Lingfeng, but he believed in Xiao Jinting.
Xu Lingfeng was surprised that Xiao Jinting located Chen Lifeng. âMr. Chen, you seem seriously injured.â
Chen Lifeng shook his head. âI was careless.â
The one who attacked him was his good friend. The friendship between them was deep. However, when the friend knew Chen Lifeng had the Deity Transformation Pill, he attacked him.
Xu Lingfeng looked at Chen Lifeng and said sympathetically, âYou are unlucky. You donât have the treasures, but those idiots try to hunt you down.â
Chen Lifeng said in confusion, âMr. Xu, do you believe that I donât have the pill?â
âYes, to be sure.â Xiao Jinting and Chen Lifeng went on a mission together, and people thought Xiao Jinting was Chen Lifengâs follower. Xu Lingfeng knew about Xiao Jintingâs strength, and Chen Lifeng should be under his wings.
Xiao Jinting said, âSenior Chen, you are seriously injured.â He took out a few pills that helped heal the wound and handed them to Chen Lifeng.
Chen Lifeng didnât refuse. He took the pills and started to steady his breath.
Xu Lingfeng tilted his head and looked at Xiao Jinting. âWhat are you going to do next? Breaking through the siege?â
Xiao Jinting said indifferently, âThose cultivators are useless. Donât mind them. The restriction array has leaks, and we can sneak out later. Let them wait on the island for nothing.â
Xu Lingfeng was lost for words.
After Chen Lifeng took the pills given by Xiao Jinting, he recovered a bit. He said, âThank you, Jinting.â
Xiao Jinting said, âDonât mention it. How did you get injured?â
Chen Lifeng said sadly, âYou know the cultivator who attacked me. Itâs Immortal Flying Hawk.â
Xiao Jinting frowned. He went to Sky City with Chen Lifeng and Immortal Flying Hawk, and he had got in touch with the latter. He had a good opinion of Immortal Flying Hawk, who surprisingly injured Chen Lifeng for the precious pill.
â¦
Xiao Jinting, Chen Lifeng, and Xu Lingfeng left the island quietly. There were various kinds of people there, flying flags of killing the devil.
Chen Lifeng was pissed off by the annoying banners.
He said sullenly, âWhat have I done that make them call me a devil?â
Xu Lingfeng glanced at him and said half-jokingly, âMr. Chen, you were so heartless and cruel that you killed Xiao Jinting, and thatâs why you became a devil.â
Chen Lifeng was speechless. What nonsense! How could he kill Xiao Jinting, who was so powerful? It made sense if it was the other way around.
Xu Lingfeng said, âMr. Chen, donât mind those idiots, who are hypocrites trying to snatch the treasure with a righteous excuse.â
Chen Lifeng smiled wryly. Since Chen Xu came back, everything had been going smoothly for him. He had grown less aggressive, and anyone could stand over him. It seemed he had to adjust himself.
Xiao Jinting asked, âSenior Chen, whatâs your plan next?â
Chen Lifeng hesitated for a while and said, âI want to go see Xu.â He hadnât seen his grandson for a long time. He heard that Chen Xu had advanced to Nascent Soul.
Xu Lingfeng said, âGood. You can travel with us, and we can look after each other. Xu has advanced to Nascent Soul, so has his octopus. You are injured, and he can take care of you.â
Chen Lifeng smiled, pleased with what Xu Lingfeng said.
Xiao Jinting asked, âFather, is Muan with you?â
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said, âYes. You caused such a big trouble, and Ice Palace was hunting you down. How could I leave him alone?â
Xiao Jinting forced a smile. He didnât want to cause the trouble.
Xu Lingfeng said, âBy the way, I heard Bing Cheng from Ice Palace died.â
Xiao Jinting said curtly, âI killed him.â
