Chapter 102 - The Conceited Ta Qixue (1/2)

Two months later.

Zhou Xuanji and his companions packed up and headed toward the Southern Snow Kingdom.

On Ah Big’s back.

Jiang Xue asked Zhou Xuanji softly, “Xuanji, aren’t you going to reconsider?”

She understood why Zhou Xuanji had to go to the Southern Snow Kingdom.

It had to be for Qiu Baili.

But in her heart, Qiu Baili was less important than Zhou Xuanji.

She did not hope for Zhou Xuanji to get hurt.

“I don’t want to regret,” Zhou Xuanji nodded and said.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue stopped convincing.

“Wait for me outside the Southern Snow Kingdom when we are there.”

Zhou Xuanji tilted his head and said. The girl behind him was considered the most important person in his life. He did not want her to follow him into the danger.

Jiang Xue shook her head. “No matter where you go, I will go with you. Even to death. No matter if it’s in the past, present, or future,” she said.

Zhou Xuanji’s felt a wave of warmth in his heart. “Following me to become my burden?” He said unpleasantly.

Jiang Xue stared at him, “I’m at Enlightening Level Two, and I have mastered spells of five elements, as well as healing spells. I’m the mage and healer, and even the support that you always talked about. If you are injured, I can help you.”

As she spoke, she pinched Zhou Xuanji’s waist. “You dared to think of me as a burden!” She protested coquettishly.”

Zhou Xuanji curled his lip and said, “Can you please be more gentle? You were not like this when you were little.”

“This is the result of you doting me.”

Jiang Xue said softly as her face blushed a little.

She was like this only before Zhou Xuanji. Before others, she would always be polite and kept her distance.

Zhou Xuanji looked ahead with determination and said, “I still want to dote you for 10,000 years. Don’t worry, we can survive this trip to Southern Snow.”

Jiang Xue felt a sense of sweetness in her heart. She rested her chin onto his shoulder, wrapped her arms around his waist, and closed her beautiful eyes slowly.

…

The Southern Snow Kingdom.

The city that used to bustle with liveliness became a place filled with fire and smokes. The entire city had mostly turned into ruins.

At the center of the kingdom, only the king’s city stood tall.

The city’s walls were covered with the silhouettes of evil cultivators. Every one of them wore a long yellow robe with two words embroidered at their back, Xinhao!

Within the king’s city, there were countless Xinhao Sect’s cultivators who spread all across the streets.

While many corpses littered across the streets, numerous prisoners were tied up to the corner of the walls and immobilized with metal chains.

Qiu Baili and a group of the Hidden Sword Sect cultivators were bound up at an old, dilapidated street.

The chains on their bodies were connected and were secured with long metal nails that were nailed to the ground on both ends. Their shoulder blades were pierced and their vital channels were severed. They were like cripples.

Qiu Baili’s clothes and robe were tattered. Below his messy hair, blood covered his face. He leaned on the wall and looked into the skies without any expression.

“Even Meng Tianlang was defeated. It will be our turn to be decapitalized soon.”

An old man talked to himself in despair. The rest shuddered.

They had gone through shame and torture. If at the end of it they still had to die, it would have been better if they killed themselves earlier on.

But who could really face death?

A Hidden Sword Sect’s female disciple, gnashing her teeth, “Ta Qixue has sent words out to challenge Sword God Zhou. If Sword God Zhou wins him, he will let us go. We still have hope. Sword God Zhou will come for sure.”

The eyes of the rest were brightened with hope when they heard this.

Hidden Sword Sect specialized in the sword. The entire sect admired Sword God Zhou naturally.

“You are right! Sword God Zhou will surely come!”

“Sword God Zhou is so benevolent. He will surely not give up on us!”

“He’s not afraid of even the Empress and the Sword Monarch. He will definitely not be afraid of Ta Qixue!”

“Wait until the Sword God comes, he will surely defeat Ta Qixue!”

The Hidden Sword Sect disciples were all excited with hope and discussed among themselves softly.

Qiu Baili’s body trembled when he heard of Sword God Zhou. He could not help but think of Zhou Xuanji.

He heard that Sword God Zhou’s body was petite and young, which sounded a lot like Zhou Xuanji.
