Chapter 118: The Pingchuan King's Third Prince, and the Memories of Si Yuyan

Another full day passed, and Jiang Xun was still cultivating.

Meanwhile, Yin Ningyu and Zhong Lingqing had already set off for Tianji City.

With the Longkui Flower on them, the fragrance on their bodies had been completely masked; mixed with the smell of sweat, the two of them were like walking chemical toxins.

Who could still recognize them as the former Sect Master and the current Sect Master of the Baihua Sect?

"I never imagined the two of us would actually do this kind of dirty work." Flying in the air, Zhong Lingqing looked at Yin Ningyu and couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, it's the Demonic Sect..." Yin Ningyu also nodded and smiled.

"When we see the airship, if the airship guard makes a move, I will kill him; those two Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators from the Baiyun Sect will be left to you."

Zhong Lingqing was still quite concerned about her disciple's mental health; after all, she certainly wouldn't want to kill an innocent person like the airship guard.

"Mm, leave it to me!"

Yin Ningyu nodded heavily.

The two soon arrived at the side of the Tianji City airship, where everyone was currently boarding.

Most of those taking the airship were cultivators; of course, there were also wealthy ordinary people.

"Over there." Zhong Lingqing looked around, then raised her head to signal.

Chen Mo and the other two were walking in the direction of the airship.

"That one should be the airship guard, at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage."

Yin Ningyu looked at the man sitting at the highest point of the airship, holding a long spear in his hand, and said.

"Apart from him, there are no other guards."

Zhong Lingqing also nodded and said; she had already observed the area.

For them, the fewer guards, the better—not because they couldn't win, but because they didn't want to kill so many.

Seeing that everyone had boarded and the airship had taken off, Zhong Lingqing and Yin Ningyu immediately followed.

They would wait until the airship had flown at least a thousand miles before making a move.

Fortunately, the two had enough Spirit Power to keep up.

Time passed until evening...

"Hoo..."

Jiang Xun exhaled a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Boom!

A loud bang erupted from his body, and the formations on the walls all lit up from the vibration.

Lin Qingwan was also startled.

"Grand... Grandmaster... you, have you reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection?"

Lin Qingwan looked at Jiang Xun in disbelief, her eyes wide.

When he went into seclusion yesterday afternoon, he was only at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak, right?

What kind of cultivation speed was this?

"That's right, impressive, isn't it?"

Jiang Xun smiled, suddenly noticing that his voice had become much younger.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun couldn't help but walk to the mirror, only to discover that the wrinkles on his face had completely vanished, and his appearance was no longer as aged as before; if he were to shave off his beard...

"Qingwan, help me shave."

Jiang Xun turned his head to look at Lin Qingwan and said.

"Okay." Lin Qingwan nodded, and without hesitation, immediately went to fetch the shaving tools.

A moment later, Jiang Xun's beard was shaved clean; looking at this face, Lin Qingwan's small mouth opened slightly.

Jiang Xun was no longer an old man; he looked like a middle-aged man of about fifty, his waist had straightened significantly, and from being hunched over at one meter seventy-something, he could now stand straight, reaching about one meter eighty.

He was still slightly hunched, but it wasn't noticeable unless one looked closely.

His hair was still white, but that didn't affect much.

"Just a little bit more."

Jiang Xun looked at his face in the mirror and smiled.

(We've run into trouble; the guard on this airship is a descendant of the Canghe Dynasty's royal family, so we can't make a move.)

Just then, Yin Ningyu's voice reached Jiang Xun's ears; it was sent via a Transmission Talisman.

Zhong Lingqing and Yin Ningyu had caught up to the airship and were about to strike when the spear-wielding man darted out from the airship, originally prepared to act directly to protect it.

But after sensing Zhong Lingqing's Void Refinement Mid-Stage strength and Yin Ningyu's Nascent Soul Great Perfection strength, he knew he was no match and declared his identity.

Canghe Dynasty, Third Prince of the Pingchuan King.

Ever since Jiang Xun's Soul Returning Pill was sent back to the Canghe Dynasty by Cang Xingling, the Canghe Dynasty had regained its former glory.

The title of "Third Prince of the Pingchuan King" was quite effective when thrown out.

Although both women were disguised, if this Third Prince were to meet with an accident near Tianji City, the Pingchuan King would likely turn the entire area upside down without asking questions.

Tianji City was located in Dongming, which was managed by the Lingyun Dynasty; if a prince from another country died in the Lingyun Dynasty, it could potentially trigger a conflict between the two dynasties, or at the very least, result in heavy reparations or even the ceding of land and cities.

Unless the Lingyun Dynasty agreed to find the real culprit, in which case the Lingerie-Sect would become the target of annihilation for both dynasties.

Helpless, the two had to retreat for the time being and send a message to Jiang Xun.

'Where are you all now?' Jiang Xun immediately replied upon hearing this.

But it didn't go through; it seemed the distance was too great.

Jiang Xun switched to using a Communication Jade Tube.

Before long, Yin Ningyu replied via the Jade Slip: 'Still following the airship, we should be over three thousand miles from the Lingerie-Sect, heading toward Nanwu.'

"I'm going out for a while." After receiving the reply, Jiang Xun walked out the door and said.

Without waiting for Lin Qingwan to respond, Jiang Xun flew out directly using his Crimson Wings.

"It has been a day and a night; did you not hear me talking to you?"

After taking flight, Si Yuyan asked.

"I did not."

Jiang Xun shook his head and said; inside the Jade Pendant, Si Yuyan could not contact him.

"How on earth do you cultivate? How did you go from Nascent Soul Mid Stage to Nascent Soul Great Perfection just by opening and closing your eyes?"

Si Yuyan could not help but ask.

"By popping pills, I scavenged so many from your Void Sect."

Jiang Xun laughed.

"I did not see you eat any medicinal pills, and I cannot sense your divine soul either; you brat have secrets."

"Who doesn't have a few secrets?" Jiang Xun laughed.

"Forget it, I cannot be bothered with you." Si Yuyan shook her head: "I contacted you because I remembered some things."

"What things?"

"It was a very long time ago, before I became a Saint; I went to Tianling City to challenge the Saint of Tianling City, wanting to seize his Supreme Position, but I ended up being severely wounded and fled."

"And then?" Jiang Xun frowned upon hearing this; as expected, that was not a dream at all.

"Then it was very strange; I felt like I was anxiously looking at someone, but when I reached out my hand, I could not touch them. Then after a while, that person woke up, but their face was very blurry, and I could not tell who it was. The strange thing is, why couldn't I touch her? Why was it that even though I was the one who was injured, I felt like I was perfectly fine?"

Of course you were fine... you are an Artifact Spirit.

Jiang Xun complained in his heart.

"Is there more?" Jiang Xun asked next.

"Then I left Tianling City and ran very fast, as if I were afraid of being caught by someone, running all the way to a mountain in Dongming. If I am not mistaken about the location, that should be the current location of the Void Sect."

"So after you ran away, you built the Void Sect in that mountain?"

"It seems not; the Void Sect was established after I became a Saint." Si Yuyan shook her head.

"So did you kill someone in Dongming to become a Saint?"
