Chapter 372
“No one would like to die if there is a chance to live. Those who joined Sacred Sect were mostly dignified figures. Immortal Skeleton is not the only one who has joined the sect. The Sacred Sect might come back again. We have to warn the forces in Cloud Continent,” Chen Li said.
Immortal Flying Hawk nodded and said, “You’re right.”
Although Chen Lifeng was a free-lance cultivator, he was on good terms with many forces in Cloud Continent. Therefore, he sent the message to them after the incident.
Xiao Jinting listened to their conversation without cutting in. Although he was the First Elder of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, his cultivation was too low to interfere.
…
“Mr. Chen, are we still going to attend the Nascent Soul Conference?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Chen Lifeng said without hesitation, “Of course. We can’t give up just because of this. If people know about this, they will laugh at us.”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “Oh, I see.”
Immortal Flying Hawk patted Xiao Jinting and said, “Mr. Xiao, thank you for spotting the array in time. Otherwise, we would be killed if we fell for the trap.”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “Senior, I’m flattered. It’s nothing.”
After some small talk, they boarded the ship and continued the journey. The hawks led the way towards the destination.
Xiao Jinting found that there were fewer hawks, and he guessed some of them died in the battle.
“Mr. Xiao, thank you.” Kong Que went out of the cabin to the deck and said to Xiao Jinting.
“We are travelling together, and we should help each other,” Xiao Jinting said.
“Your soul force is very strong. Grandfather didn’t notice anything wrong, but you found the killing array,” Kong Que said with admiration.
“I was lucky. Your grandfather is fearless because his level is high. He didn’t expect that someone would set a trap for us, so he didn’t search around with his soul force,” Xiao Jinting said.
“Even so, you are very powerful. I thought that Kong Fei’s soul force is one of the best among the Golden Cores, and I didn’t expect you to be much more powerful than him. My grandfather says there are always higher mountains than the one in front of us. He is right,” said Kong Que.
“Miss Kong, you’re flattering me. I’m just sensitive to killing arrays. My soul force is not that strong.”
“By the way, how did you escape from the zombies? After I left, I was worried about you. I feel guilty for leaving you behind,” Kong Que said ruefully.
“After you left, I took a chance to escape with a few teleportation talismans,” Xiao Jinting said.
“That simple?” Kong Que asked suspiciously.
Xiao Jinting nodded, “Yeah!”
Kong Fei went up to them, and Xiao Jinting glanced at him. Kong Fei looked embarrassed. “Mr. Kong, what’s up?”
Kong Fei gritted his teeth and said, “Sorry for disrespecting you before.”
“Mr. Kong, it’s nothing.” Xiao Jinting smiled.
“Mr. Xiao, your strength is impressive,” said Kong Fei bitterly.
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “Both of you are also very good.”
…
Kong Fei and Kong Que went back to the cabin to see Immortal Flying Hawk.
“Grandfather, I apologized to him,” said Kong Fei.
Immortal Flying Hawk nodded and said, “I told you that however strong you are, there is always someone stronger. Now you know you can’t underestimate anyone. Did Xiao Jinting tell you how he escaped from the zombies?”
“He said he escaped with teleportation talismans, but I don’t think it’s that simple.” Kong Que said.
“It is impressive that he warded off so many zombies alone,” Immortal Flying Hawk said in awe.
“Actually, it’s not that impressive. I think he relied on his magic weapons. Grandfather, Xiao Jinting’s magic weapons are very powerful!”
Immortal Flying Hawk glanced at Kong Fei and said angrily, “Shut up. I told you that arrogance could kill you. There are many stronger cultivators than you. If you continue this way, you will get killed in Sky City.”
Kong Fei turned green and white. “Grandfather, don’t be angry, I will change myself.”
“Xiao Jinting made a huge fortune in the Heavenly Haze Secret Realm back then, and he escaped from so many zombies this time. He’s extraordinary,” Immortal Flying Hawk sighed.
Kong Que asked curiously, “Grandfather, are you exaggerating when you say that Xiao Jinting’s soul force is similar to yours?”
“I exaggerated a bit, but Xiao Jinting’s soul force should be close to that of a Nascent Soul,” Flying Hawk said.
Kong Fei turned grim. “Grandfather, how is that possible? You once mentioned that dramatic changes will happen after a Golden Core advances to Nascent Soul, such as multiplied soul force.”
Immortal Flying Hawk shook his head. “I’m more surprised than you. Xiao Jinting is not simple. He should have had some wonderful adventures on the other end of the teleportation array. I guess Chen Lifeng’s healed arm has something to do with him.”
“No way.” Kong Que widened her eyes.
Immortal Flying Hawk shook his head and said, “Chen Lifeng could do nothing to his lost arm during the years, but it healed not long after Xiao Jinting came back. Isn’t this strange?”
Xiao Jinting was cultivating in the cabin, oblivious to their conversation.
