Chapter 318 - The Third String (1/2)

On a winding path 1.5 kilometers away from the Pure Harmony Hal, plum trees blossomed and snow accumulated under the trees. Xiao Chen waddled as he whistled and carried a withered branch over his shoulder.

Xiaoyue followed behind and looked up at him from time to time. Each time with a little revulsion. She wondered why Xiao Chen did not possess an immortal temperament even though he was already in the Nascent Soul Realm. Instead, he looked like a hooligan in a marketplace. She whispered, “Hey… Xiao Chen, no matter what, I’m still very grateful to you.”

Xiao Chen stopped suddenly. He stretched out his hand and said, “Well, you don’t have to be grateful to me. I only hope that you do not think of killing me if I was stuck in the illusory land again.”

Xiaoyue startled, she said hurriedly, “Brother Xiao! It was a misunderstanding! That day I was just…” But before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen had already left with Immortal-override Steps.

In a flash, Xiao Chen was already several kilometers away. The cold wind blew against his face as he watched the sun slowly set into the mountains. He took a deep breath and wondered why he had helped Xiaoyue, why he did not kill her on the stage today, and why he did not take away the Autumn Water Sword.

“Qianyu Nishang, I will kill you with my own hands one day…”

He squeezed his fist hard till the bones crackled. Suddenly, he felt a faint Devil Qi. He looked in the direction, only to see a man in a black cloak going down the hill.

“Who is that!”

As he shouted, Xiao Chen soon began to chase after the figure with the Immortal-override Steps. But no matter how fast he went, the cloaked man in front kept a distance with him and did not seem to have increased his speed.

“Stop right there!”

Xiao Chen yelled and hit out two strokes of the Roar of Ice Dragon Spirit. In an instant, everything around was frozen. However, the palm strength could not even get close to the person’s back.

Within seconds, the person in front had disappeared into the twilight, as if it was a ghost, and no matter how fast Xiao Chen went, he could not catch up.

He stopped and wondered who this devil being was to be able to sneak up the Jade Terrace Mountain with so many Orthodox Path people around today. As he wondered, he made his way to the yard.

…

Back to 30 minutes ago, somewhere in a dense forest, two people were pacing back and forth. It was Ling Yuanshan of the Ling Family and Wan Gufeng of the Order of the Divine Fire.

“What do we do? Now that the kid has the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, it is not so easy to kill him anymore.”

The two people looked very troubled. They did not expect Xiao Chen to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in such a short time in any case, and they felt incredibly uneasy about it.

In their minds, the reason Xiao Chen had not yet to attack them was that he did not have that strength. Once he was strong enough, they would be in danger.

Therefore, they could not allow Xiao Chen to grow any stronger and he must be killed as soon as possible! This was not just hatred anymore, and they were feeling threatened by his existence.

“To kill one person, why do you have to do it yourself…” At this moment, an eerie voice suddenly appeared from a distance.

“Who is that!” Wan Gufeng quickly looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a man in black cloak slowly approached. The man’s feet were right above the ground as if he was a ghost; under the cloak was a black mist, and his appearance could not be seen.

“Who are you!” Ling Yuanshan shouted, and was immediately alarmed. With their level of cultivation, they still failed to notice that someone was nearby.

The cloaked man smiled ghastly and said, “It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that I can help you to exterminate the person you want to remove…”

Wan Gufeng and Ling Yuanshan looked at each other and knew that the person he had mentioned was Xiao Chen. Ling Yuanshan said coldly, “Just be straightforward.”

The cloaked man smiled grimly and said, “That man’s Inner Demon has been born, so just make him unleash his devil. Do you think by then you have to kill him with your own hands in this Tianyuan City?”

Wan Gufeng squinted and said, “Of course we know that but how to make his devil unleash? If you have something, just say it!”

“Ahaha, haven’t you been digging on his identity? Let me tell you, he is the disciple of the Three Pure Sect in the Lingtai Mountain located in Serene Province of the Human World…”
