Chapter 495
Once Long Xue and Fu Li came out of the teleportation array, they got attacked by several Nascent Souls.
After Xiao Jinting left the Cloud Continent, people that were interested in his treasures had been surrounding the array. When they saw someone come out, they naturally thought it was Xiao Jinting’s accomplices. Some of them got impatient and launched the attack.
Fu Li was shocked by the sudden attack. After he recovered from the shock, he found the cultivators that attacked him were weaker than he had imagined.
Even so, he resentfully cursed Xiao Jinting hundreds of times. Long Xue and Fu Li were powerful, and they broke through the siege effortlessly.
After they left, a large number of cultivators arrived in Nebula through the array.
The island was hugely impacted when so many people swarmed over. However, Xiao Jinting could do nothing about it. He went back to the Cloud Continent with Xu Muan through the array.
Xiao Jinting went up to greet them in excitement, “Father, you finally come back.” He guessed his parents were coming back, so he waited there.
Xiao Jinting was warmed at the sight of his son. “Yes, we are back.”
Xiao Jinting said gloatingly, “Father, two cultivators came out of the teleportation array earlier, and they got attacked fiercely. I had thought it was you and Daddy, and I got worried. They turned out to be two demonic beasts with good bloodlines.”
Xiao Jinting said, “That must be Long Xue and Fu Li. I feel guilty putting them in danger.”
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Jinting’s guilty expression with disdain. He thought his father was pretending. He didn’t sound sincere.
Xiao Jinting asked worriedly, “Are they all right?”
Xiao Xiaojin nodded and said, “Yes. Long Xue is ferocious. A cultivator fell for her beauty and wanted to marry her, but she killed him with a kick. It’s been decades since I last saw her, but she hasn’t improved her temper a bit. How could she get married if she continues to be hot-tempered?”
Xiao Jinting looked at the gloating Xiao Xiaojin and thought, “Son, you haven’t got married yet. Are you in the position to despise her for not marrying?”
Xiao Xiaojin said, “Father, you’ve left for years. You came back at the right time.”
Xiao Jinting asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“The great sects are going to remove the restrictions on the secret realm formed by fragments of the Immortal World. If you came back late, you wouldn’t be able to enter the secret realm.”
Xiao Jinting sighed. “Oh, I see. Demonic beasts are roaming everywhere in the secret realm. I guess many people will die there again.”
Xiao Xiaojin said sullenly, “The spiritual Qi is getting scarce, and the resources are running out. How can one advance to Deity Transformation if he doesn’t take a risk?”
…
Xiao Jinting went straight back to Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Dongcheng was shocked at the sight of him.
After exchanging civil pleasantries with Dongcheng Yang, Xiao Jinting went back home.
Xiao Jingfeng came to see him in excitement. “Jinting, you finally come back.”
Xiao Jinting asked, “Yes, Brother. How are you doing?”
Xiao Jingfeng nodded and said, “I’m fine.”
Xiao Jinting looked at him and knew he was not lying. After Xiao Jinting killed Bing Cheng and ran away, he might have gotten the sect in trouble.
Xiao Jinting said, “Mr. Dongcheng didn’t seem happy to have me back.” Thinking of the shock on Dongcheng Yang’s face, he was amused.
Xiao Jingfeng glanced at Xiao Jinting and smiled wryly, “Ice Palace came to look for you several times, and they looked hostile. Did you offend them?”
“Maybe.”
Xiao Jingfeng said with concern, “Rumor has it that you killed Bing Cheng.”
Xiao Jinting held the teacup and took a small sip. He didn’t deny it or admit it. “Brother, did Ice Palace make things difficult for you?”
Xiao Jingfeng shook his head and rubbed his hands. “No. They once asked me to go and question me, but the Xu and Li families stopped them, and they didn’t press me.”
There was a rule in the cultivation world that families should not be involved. If Ice Palace killed Xiao Jinting’s family, Xiao Jinting would be justified to slaughter the Golden Cores and Establishment Foundation cultivators of Ice Palace.
Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Jingfeng and thought that Ice Palace must have picked on Xiao Jingfeng, but they didn’t kill him because of the Xu and Li families. Xiao Jinting had been away for a long time, but Xiao Jinting didn’t make any progress in cultivation. There seemed to be something wrong with his mind. The Ice Palace must have bullied him secretly.
Xiao Jingfeng frowned and said, “Jinting, Ice Palace has been looking for you. Why don’t you hide?”
Xiao Jinting smiled. “Hide? Why?”
Xiao Jinting sneered. He had reached the peak of Nascent Soul. If Bing Wu attacked him again, he didn’t need to hide anymore. He could manage to survive the battle even if he couldn’t defeat her. He had been hiding for too long, and he would become a coward if he continued to hide.
Xiao Jingfeng looked at him and said worriedly, “After all, she’s a Deity Transformation. You can get back at her later.”
Xiao Jinting glanced at Xiao Jingfeng and said confidently, “Brother, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
Xiao Jingfeng nodded and let out a sigh of relief. “You are sensible, and I think you will handle it well.”
