Chapter 449: Self-Termination, Qi Observation

Swish...

He He Pingsheng flew out from the Ice Extreme Sect and headed north!

He had not asked for any results.

But it was not as if there was no information at all.

He had received a piece of bad news: Xiao Xuan had also gone missing.

Moreover, Xiao Xuan had gone missing even earlier, over a dozen years ago, shortly after returning to the Ice Extreme Sect following his enlightenment.

Xiao Xuan's disappearance and Qiao Qiao Huizhu's disappearance had astonishing similarities.

Both were silent and traceless.

What did that mean?

It meant that the person who captured them had an extremely high cultivation base, at least exceeding them by a major realm, or perhaps even at the Soul Transformation Stage.

Secondly, both of them went missing shortly after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The final point of similarity was that both Xiao Xuan and Qiao Qiao Huizhu had once survived the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Then, who was the person behind this?

The Qi Kingdom?

Perhaps; after all, they went missing on Qi Kingdom territory, and the Qi Kingdom had sufficient motive to capture them.

The key was that only the Qi Kingdom imperial family had the power to capture Qiao Qiao Huizhu and Xiao Xuan.

"It's just..." He He Pingsheng muttered to himself while flying: "The life tablets of both Qiao Qiao Huizhu and Xiao Xuan are perfectly intact, which is truly strange. If the Qi Kingdom captured them, shouldn't they have killed them and taken their destiny?"

He He Pingsheng had no leads and could not figure it out.

He really wanted to go to the Qi Kingdom imperial family to ask, but he also knew that even if he reached the Qi Kingdom imperial family, with his current strength, he would have no chance.

No strength.

What to do?

He He Pingsheng was completely lost.

About half an hour later, He He Pingsheng arrived at a sect.

Beast Taming Immortal Sect!

This place was not far from the Tai Xu Men.

And this was the headquarters of the Beast Taming Immortal Sect!

He He Pingsheng took a step forward and landed at the entrance of the Immortal Sect.

Perhaps because they knew He He Pingsheng was coming in advance, there were actually over a dozen gatekeepers at the entrance.

Seeing He He Pingsheng descend from the sky, they were so scared that they retreated one by one.

He He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept out with a boom.

All dozen or so people were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He He Pingsheng's pupils shrank slightly because he saw an acquaintance.

Back then, when he was at Xiuzhu Peak of Tai Xu Men, there were nine people under Master Yu Ning, and the eldest senior brother among them was Hou Hou Muxian.

Later, after Hou Hou Muxian broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he returned to the cultivation family Hou to take charge of the family.

Later still, he defected to the Beast Taming Immortal Sect.

He He Pingsheng's senior sister, Cheng Cheng Siyu, later fell due to the schemes of the Hou family.

Later on, several Golden Core Elders of Tai Xu Men joined forces to wipe out the Hou family; he never expected this brat to still be alive.

And he never expected to run into Hou Hou Muxian here today.

At this very moment, Hou Hou Muxian had become a middle-aged man; he was not tall, but he had become much fatter.

He had also grown a beard on his face.

"Senior Brother Hou!" He He Pingsheng looked at him indifferently.

Hou Hou Muxian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly cupped his hands: "I dare not; Hou Hou Muxian greets you, Senior!"

"I wonder if Master is well?"

He He Pingsheng said: "Master is doing very well now; she is about to form her Nascent Soul!"

Hearing this, Hou Hou Muxian was filled with regret.

In fact, he had not had a good life all these years; within the Beast Taming Immortal Sect, he was also a person who was constantly squeezed out.

Sometimes he wondered, if he hadn't betrayed the sect back then, would his achievements or cultivation base now be more than this?

Now Master is about to form her Nascent Soul, and I am Master's eldest disciple; if I hadn't defected to others, I would certainly be...

Hou Hou Muxian's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"I have never had the chance to settle accounts with you!" He He Pingsheng said: "The death of Senior Sister Cheng Cheng Siyu should be counted on you!"

"Do you have any objections?"

He He Pingsheng looked at Hou Hou Muxian indifferently.

Hou Hou Muxian's face flushed with shame, and he nodded: "I must take responsibility for her death!"

"It's not that you must take responsibility!" He He Pingsheng said: "Her death was the result of your schemes. Back then, in order to kill her, you even thought about silencing me as well, right?"

"Decide for yourself!"

"Will you do it yourself, or shall I do it?"

He He Pingsheng looked at him expressionlessly.

Hou Hou Muxian had wanted to strike up a friendship with He He Pingsheng, but he never expected this situation.

He sighed, then drew his sword and held it to his own neck: "Junior Brother... it was all my fault back then. Now that you aren't dead, and so many years have passed, can't you forgive me?"

He He Pingsheng said: "Do it yourself, and your family will be spared!"

"If I do it, the Hou family will be wiped out!"

Hou Hou Muxian trembled all over: "Fine, fine, fine... so be it!"

Puchi...

Hou Hou Muxian exerted force with his hand, and with a 'puchi' sound, fresh blood sprayed out, and a large head fell to the ground.

He He Pingsheng took a glance, then moved his feet, and the next moment he swept past countless buildings and appeared directly on a mountain peak behind the Beast Taming Immortal Sect.

By the mountain peak, there was a cliff.

Under a withered old pine tree, there was a stone table, a stone stool, and a cup of clear tea.

A man wearing Confucian robes picked up the teacup slowly and said indifferently: "Young Master, you have come today; are you here to take my life?"

He He Pingsheng said: "My Tai Xu Men was such a grand sect; now that it has become like this, is it not thanks to you?"

"After my Master died, I was supposed to be the Sect Master of Tai Xu Men, but because I was weak, you occupied our mountain gate!"

"Give me a reason not to kill you?"

The man glanced at He He Pingsheng and said: "If you kill me, can you spare my Beast Taming Immortal Sect from the disaster of being wiped out?"

He He Pingsheng said: "I have no interest in wiping out sects, and I have no interest in killing!"

"After you die, I will not touch the others!"

"As for whether other sects will come to attack in the future, that is not my problem!"

"Good, good, good!" The man in Confucian robes said: "When will the cycle of vengeance end? My wealth has already been scattered; I only have this secret technique left, so I will give it to you!"

"I hope you keep your promise; after I die, do not slaughter the members of my Beast Taming Immortal Sect again!"

The man in Confucian robes threw a red jade slip through the air.

He He Pingsheng didn't even look at it and threw it directly into his storage ring.

The middle-aged man in Confucian robes before him lost his breath within a few breaths.

It turned out he had severed his own meridians, and his soul had already entered reincarnation.

After He He Pingsheng confirmed that he was truly dead, he took a step forward and left the Beast Taming Immortal Sect.

He did not touch the man's corpse, nor did he dig out his Nascent Soul.

Since the man had committed suicide, he should be given the dignity he deserved.

As for why the man didn't run, it was actually easy to understand.

If he ran, he would worry about the destruction of his sect's heritage.

"Time to go!"

He He Pingsheng turned into a stream of light and flew away again. On the road, he switched to opening the Eight Treasure Ship, flying without stopping, heading toward the Liang Kingdom.

If he didn't leave now, the Soul Transformation powerhouses of the Qi Kingdom might come.

On the way, He He Pingsheng casually opened the red jade slip.

This was given to him by the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Beast Taming Immortal Sect before he died; let's see what it is first.

Boom...

He extended a sliver of spiritual sense into it.

The information inside emerged.

Qi Observation Technique!

What kind of thing is this? ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
