Chapter 716: Chain Soul Curse Talisman, Scared Her to Piss Herself

In the palace of the Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor.

A woman clad in black knelt before him.

This woman, He Pingsheng also knew—she was the Ice Yi Immortal who had twice tried to kill him.

She was Tian Yao's aunt.

"Your Majesty, is there truly no room for compromise?" Ice Yi trembled all over as she knelt.

The Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor lay lazily in a massive chair, appearing lonely and desolate.

His neck rested against the chair's backrest, head tilted upward, staring blankly at the towering dome of the palace, silent and motionless.

"Your Majesty!" Ice Yi asked again.

The Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor finally took a deep breath and waved his hand. "There is none… it's already a dead end!"

His last hope had rested on his senior brother, Duan Feihong.

Unfortunately, Duan Feihong went—but failed to accomplish the task.

Moreover, Duan Feihong said he would never strike at He Pingsheng a second time.

"This boy… possesses great fortune…" The Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor finally lifted his head from the chair's backrest, stepped forward, and descended from the long seat to stand beside Ice Yi.

"Ice Yi… our Tian family is on the brink of ruin!"

"This…?" Ice Yi looked up in disbelief at Tian Jinpeng. "Even if you, my brother-in-law, personally intervened, you still couldn't kill him?"

The Divine Emperor had only returned to the Heavenly Fire Divine Kingdom for one day!

His order for Duan Feihong to intercept He Pingsheng in the Zhu Que Imperial Realm had only happened today!

So Ice Yi did not know that the Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor had clashed with He Pingsheng—and been powerless to act.

Tian Jinpeng had no patience to explain; he simply pulled out a green pearl and handed it to Ice Yi.

"Brother-in-law, what is this?" Ice Yi took the green pearl, her body trembling slightly.

Tian Jinpeng said: "It is a descendant of my Tian family."

"I have lived for thousands of years and have six hundred descendants still alive!"

"Of these six hundred, only Tian Yao possesses extraordinary talent and has reached Void Refinement—every other one has not even reached Soul Transformation!"

"This pearl is a 【Minor Thousand World】 opened by a Mahayana Emperor-level demon emperor, and it has not yet been linked to this world."

"Find a secluded sect, and place this Minor Thousand World within it!"

"Once you establish a transcendence passage, this world will become a small cultivation realm."

"Then He Pingsheng will never again find any trace of my Tian family's descendants!"

"As for whether any of my Tian family's future descendants will rise to greatness? That is up to Heaven."

"Go…" Tian Jinpeng waved his hand.

Ice Yi asked: "Brother-in-law… what about… Yao Yao?"

The Divine Emperor said: "Yao Yao has already broken through to the peak of Void Refinement—she cannot enter such a minor world. I have my own plans for her future; rest assured!"

"Go!"

"From now on, hide your name and conceal your cultivation base!"

"Perhaps… you might still gain a peaceful life."

"I beg you!"

Tian Jinpeng even bowed to Ice Yi, deeply lowering his head.

Tears streamed down Ice Yi's face like broken beads: "Brother-in-law… don't do this! Are you overthinking this?"

"Even if He Pingsheng is powerful, what can he do? He's only at Void Refinement now!"

"Even if he kills me, I still have a clone—I can be reborn!"

"You don't understand!" Tian Jinpeng waved his hand. "There are ways to destroy clones—and more than one."

"Once He Pingsheng grows stronger, you'll find it impossible to hide again!"

"Go… go…"

Tian Jinpeng turned away and sat back down in the massive chair, lifting his gaze once more to the towering dome.

…

Whoosh…

Elsewhere!

He Pingsheng piloted the Silver River Sky Shuttle, swiftly slicing through the void.

He flew toward a fixed direction.

He didn't know where the capital of the Heavenly Fire Divine Kingdom was—but it didn't matter. First, find someone—or a sect—and ask.

Indeed, he found someone!

Just half a stick of incense after He Pingsheng began flying, he spotted a streak of light racing across the sky to his right.

"Someone?" Zhou Qingmei asked. "Young Master, should we intercept and ask?"

He Pingsheng said: "Don't be reckless… hey, Miss Zi Qing, can you assess her cultivation level?"

"Hmm!" Zi Qing nodded.

Because of the distance, He Pingsheng's spiritual sense couldn't lock onto her precisely.

Zi Qing's spiritual sense surged forth—and instantly she said: "A Void Refinement Stage Two cultivator!"

"Good!" He Pingsheng said. "Go—intercept her!"

Three breaths later, He Pingsheng's flying vessel drew near the female cultivator.

As they closed the distance, He Pingsheng recognized the figure—and his face lit up. "Huh… where in the world do we meet again? Isn't this an old acquaintance?"

The black-clad woman in front halted in midair.

Her expression turned utterly pale.

She was none other than Ice Yi, who had been ordered by the Heavenly Fire Divine Emperor to hide the Minor Thousand World elsewhere.

"You?"

"He Pingsheng?"

Ice Yi trembled violently upon seeing him.

The first time she saw He Pingsheng, she looked down on him like a god surveying ants.

The second time, at the exit of the Yinming Imperial Palace, she had been equally certain of victory.

Now that He Pingsheng had reached Void Refinement, seeing him again nearly shattered her courage.

"Huh… huh… huh…"

Ice Yi was terrified beyond measure.

She wasn't afraid of death.

Because she still had a clone elsewhere.

If I die, I can just be reborn.

But… the Tian family's descendants are in my hands—if I perish, what happens to this Minor Thousand World?

"You two—don't move. I'll handle this."

"This time, don't let her escape!"

In an instant, He Pingsheng summoned a talisman into his hand.

"Snap…"

With lightning speed, he slapped the talisman onto Ice Yi's body.

The talisman activated!

In an instant, Ice Yi's soul and her clone's soul were bound together by the talisman.

"This…?" Ice Yi shuddered. "What is this?"

He Pingsheng said coolly: "A sixth-grade supreme talisman… the Chain Soul Curse Talisman."

"What?" Ice Yi turned deathly pale.

Clearly, she knew what the Chain Soul Curse Talisman was.

The next moment, she transformed into a streak of light and fled.

But within ten thousand zhang, all spatial laws had been locked down by Zhou Qingmei.

No teleportation—only flight.

But flight was far too slow.

Boom…

He Pingsheng merely moved slightly—and kicked Ice Yi clean out of the void, slamming her onto the ground.

"Spare me… He Pingsheng… this has nothing to do with me!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Don't kill me!"

"It's all… all the Tian family's sins!"
