"Damn it, I didn't expect this guy to be so tenacious. However, I can't give up just like that. Otherwise, Cold Plum will be dead!"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao clenched his teeth and continued to circulate his Mountain River Martial Soul to dissolve the terrifying killing intent.
Cold Plum's condition improved slightly, but Ling Xiao's condition worsened.
Cold Plum's hair returned to its original black color, while Ling Xiao's hair gradually turned grey and withered.
At this moment, he was already extremely weak.
Boom!
At this moment, a strange situation occurred. The blazing sun in the Mountain River Martial Soul released an intense light. All the darkness that came into contact with this light was instantly burned into nothingness.
The ferocious killing intent constantly retreated.
What surprised Ling Xiao the most was that after being burned, the killing intent actually merged with the blazing sun and turned into two parts. One returned to day, the other returned to night.
Ling Xiao's comprehension of the Light and Shadow Ultimacy actually began to increase rapidly.
He actually broke through to the fifth step!
The killing intent finally completely disappeared. Ling Xiao slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His weak body was healed by the energy produced by the killing intent, and he actually returned to normal.
Cold Plum's cultivation did not return to its original state after this energy refinement. Instead, it remained at the Half Step Yin-Yang Realm.
Although her Half Step Yin-Yang Realm was much weaker than most Half Step Yin-Yang Realm experts and required a long period of seclusion to completely stabilize it.
However, there was no doubt that this was definitely fortunate for her.
Extremely fortunate!
This was because even a genius like Ling Xiao could not raise his cultivation to such a terrifying level in such a short period of time.
However, Cold Plum did not know this. She was still unconscious, like a cute kitten, curled up in Ling Xiao's arms. She was completely different from her usual cold appearance.
"Little girl, this is a blessing in disguise."
Ling Xiao carried Cold Plum and left the place, directly returning to the academy.
After all, it was not safe outside.
After putting Cold Plum on his bed, Ling Xiao walked out.
"So that's how it is. The fifth step of the Profound of Light and Shadow is actually like this. This is probably related to the large amount of killing intent I absorbed from Cold Plum."
Outside the room, Ling Xiao sensed his body. Not only had he advanced to the middle stage of the Six Arts Sky due to this incident, more importantly, he had also comprehended the fifth step of the Light and Shadow Profound.
Although he didn't get as many benefits as Cold Plum, he wasn't jealous.
The reason why Cold Plum had improved so much was because she was prepared to sacrifice herself at any time.
If it weren't for him, Cold Plum would probably be dead, or her soul and body would have been completely devoured by that malicious spirit.
Such things were not uncommon in the Profound World.
Many warriors who wanted to increase their strength in an instant signed a contract with a demonic creature. In the end, they lost their bodies and souls.
There was only one example like Cold Plum in the entire Profound World.
It was because Ling Xiao had the Mountain and River Martial Spirit. Otherwise, Cold Plum's outcome would be no different from those people.
Of course, more importantly, for Ling Xiao, being able to pull Cold Plum out of death was the most joyous thing. As for other things, they were secondary.
Looking at Cold Plum who was sleeping soundly, Ling Xiao smiled and didn't disturb her. He found an open place and began to consolidate his current cultivation.
The more experts he came into contact with, the more anxious Ling Xiao was to improve his cultivation because he knew that his strength was insufficient.
One had to know that the Divine Phoenix Continent was just a very weak continent in the Profound World. The current him could only survive here cautiously.
Every step he took had to be carefully considered. This in itself was a reflection of his insufficient strength.
He was someone who wanted to go to the Heaven's Chosen Gate. If he wasn't strong enough, this dream might never be realized.
… …
The next day, before the sun rose.
Phoenix Academy was already shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. It was even worse than before.
Sikong Zun's face was terrifyingly gloomy. An icy aura was constantly released from his body.
Phoenix Cry Wushan, who was sitting near him, also had an ugly expression.
Heavenly Venerable Miraculous Hand Sun Shang had been assassinated!
And it was in the Imperial City!
They didn't have a single clue.
After a long time, Sikong Zun coldly looked at the subordinates kneeling before him and asked, "Speak, what have you found?"
"Reporting to the Vice Principal, we have carefully investigated the scene. The person who killed Heavenly Venerable Miraculous Hand might have reached the half-step Yin Yang Realm!"
"That's all?"
"That's all we have for now."
Cold sweat dripped down the foreheads of the people kneeling below.
"Get out, get out and continue investigating. If you can't find anything, I'll take your head!"
Sikong Zun was about to go crazy. The Miraculous Hand Heavenly Sovereign, Sun Shang, was someone that the Emperor Lord had invited from the True Devil Empire. Yet, he had died just like that. How was he going to explain this to the Imperial Advisor and the Emperor Lord?
"My brother is very dissatisfied with this matter. He asked why you didn't enter the palace with Sun Shang last night."
Phoenix Cry Wushan said coldly.
"Doesn't the Crown Prince know that I'm injured? Sun Shang, that trash, was killed so easily. If he died at the hands of Feng Qingyan, Flame Thunderbolt, or the Dean of Qingxu College, we can still take the opportunity to find fault with him. But now, his death is really useless! "
Sikong Zun was in awe of the Crown Prince, Phoenix Cry Qishan.
But he was not afraid.
Because he was strong enough, even the Emperor had to respect him, let alone Phoenix Cry Qishan.
"Haha, Dean Sikong, there's no need to be angry. Although Sun Shang's death greatly damaged our vitality, fortunately, Vice Dean Wan Zhong's medicinal herbs are about to be transported back. Sun Shang's pill formula is also kept. With our current pharmacist reserves, we can still continue to refine the Crisis Reversal Pill. We won't be completely crushed by Qingxu College!"
Phoenix Cry Wushan also knew that his tone was a bit too harsh. He smiled and said, "I'll take my leave first. The Emperor has already sent the 'Mirror Bureau' to investigate this matter. I believe there will be a result soon."
"Mirror Bureau? The strongest secret organization of the Divine Phoenix Empire? "
Sikong Zun was stunned and asked.
"Yes, not only are they strong, but they are also good at solving cases."
After speaking, Phoenix Cry Wushan smiled and turned to leave.
…
The sun had already risen. Ling Xiao opened his eyes. After a night of cultivation, not only did he consolidate his current cultivation, he also had a deeper understanding of the fifth step of the Light and Shadow Profound Meaning.
In just one night, his strength had increased a lot.
On the bed, Cold Plum was still in a coma, but it was not a big deal. This kind of coma could last for a month, or it could last for a year.
However, after waking up, Cold Plum would become a true half-step Yin-Yang Realm expert.
"I have to refine some medicinal soup for her so that she can soak in it every day."
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao called Feng Yanran and asked her to arrange for someone to take care of Cold Plum.
Now that Qingxu College was the safest place, it was naturally best to let Cold Plum stay here.
