Chapter 258

Seeing this, Zhao Jinyu picked up Zhao Jingding's body. "Senior Lu, Fellow Sun, I still have to take my father back. I'll take my leave now."

The petite and exquisite Zhao Jinyu hugged the tall and big Zhao Jingding. They seemed so mismatched, but also so miserable. In addition, her face was filled with faint sorrow, and there were still beads of tears hanging on her cheeks. She was truly beautiful and pitiful.

Shi Xuan was moved. "I'm afraid there will be thieves along the way. Why don't I send you back?"

Zhao Jinyu knew she wasn't in a good state right now. Even though she still had a life-saving treasure left by her father, she didn't dare to be stubborn. She nodded. "Thank you, Fellow Sun."

Lu Lingxiao also said, "Coincidentally, my place of cultivation isn't far from Guanhai City. Let's make a trip there in case some thieves steal my elixir."

Zhao Jinyu's tears flowed uncontrollably. After her father died, she thought she would be divided up by the two of them. Then, she would be forcefully taken by that pervert. After all, in this cultivation world, the strong bullied the weak and the strong bullied the weak. Not to mention, she had so many precious things on her.

However, the development of the situation greatly exceeded her expectations. Not only did Lu Lingxiao and Sun Bufan not do anything to rob her of her treasures, they even rejected the divine pills she offered. In the end, they even kindly escorted her home. This really gave Zhao Jinyu a huge shock. Was this still the Heaven Splitting Sword that was famous for being cruel and merciless? Was this still the infamous perverted thief? She couldn't say anything, but there was a warmth in her heart.

Along the way, Zhao Jinyu's mood was low, so she didn't talk much. Lu Lingxiao was also a man of few words, so the three of them flew forward in silence.

Suddenly, Lu Lingxiao said to Shi Xuan, "Fellow Sun, have you accepted a master?"

Shi Xuan wondered what was going on. Since he didn't understand the situation, he could only answer truthfully, "I already have a master."

"Mhm." Lu Lingxiao revealed a disappointed expression. "I saw that you are very talented in swordsmanship, so I wanted to take you as my disciple. What a pity. "In fact, he had another intention. He wanted to repay Shi Xuan for saving his life.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Lu. I appreciate it." After all, he was now a person with a real master. He was not like Old Taoist Xu, who had transmigrated to this world on his own and did not have many true master-disciple relationships.

Lu Lingxiao pondered for a moment, then took out a jade scroll and said, "This old man still has to repay you for saving my life. However, this old man doesn't have anything else on me other than the Heaven Splitting Sword and the Golden Dragon's Inner Core. I do have some mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, but they are far from being enough to repay you for saving my life. This is my experience in swordsmanship, as well as my understanding of how to break through to the Sword Qi Thunder Sound.

Shi Xuan was very happy when he received the jade slip. "Thank you, Senior Lu. When I was in the Immortal Mansion, I vaguely felt that my swordsmanship had improved a step further, and I was in need of pointers on swordsmanship. My wish has been fulfilled."

Since Lu Lingxiao was with them, no one dared to peep at them. A few days later, the three of them saw the bustling Guanhai City below.

Because Lu Lingxiao was with them, no one dared to spy on them along the way. A few days later, the three of them saw the bustling Guanhai City below.

"I will take my leave now. I hope that Miss Zhao can reach the golden core soon." Lu Lingxiao saw that he had achieved his goal, so he turned into a green light and left.

"Brother Sun, where are you going? Why don't you come to my place for a cup of tea and rest for a few days? " Zhao Jinyu looked at Shi Xuan expectantly. These few days, Lu Lingxiao was used to being alone, so they only talked to each other and became more familiar with each other. Zhao Jinyu's father and two senior brothers died tragically. In addition, she was saved by Shi Xuan once from a critical moment of life and death. She actually forgot that Sun Bufan was a perverted thief and became more dependent on Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan took the Chaos Fish Skin, the Divine Stone of Two Realms, and the Yin Yang Jade Tablet. He was preparing to refine his natal magic weapon so that he could use the Star Gazing Disk to protect himself when he left the space fog. Thus, he directly refused. "I still have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay for long."

Zhao Jinyu was a little disappointed. She wanted to urge him to stay, but when she remembered that he was a perverted thief, the strange feeling in her heart disappeared without a trace. "Brother Sun, be careful on your way. If you need any help, don't hesitate to look for me."

Shi Xuan nodded. However, he thought of something and asked, "Miss Jinyu, you have to be prepared. After all, you are one of the few people who survived the Immortal Mansion. Also, without City Lord Zhao suppressing you, those rascals may come to your door."

Zhao Jinyu smiled faintly, revealing the deep dimples on her left side. "Except for Senior Lu, all the cultivators in the Qi Channeling Realm who reached the Peak, Perfection, and Soul Realm died in the Immortal Mansion. Those rascals are only at the Initial Success of the Qi Channeling Realm, and some of them have just broken through. Moreover, there are no more than five Qi Channeling Realm cultivators among the individual cultivators, and there are no more than ten people left from the three major sects. Although my mother is not famous, she is also at the Perfection of the Qi Channeling Realm. Together with Jinyu, together with some magic weapons left by my father, the two flying swords that Jinyu has, and the formations set up in Guanhai City, those rascals will be killed no matter how many come!" Her last sentence inadvertently expressed the pain of losing her father and brother.

"So that's how it is. I've worried too much. En, let's part ways here. I hope that in the future, I will hear news of Miss Jinyu attaining the Golden Core. " Shi Xuan did not expect Zhao Jingding's wife to also be a Perfection of the Qi Channeling Realm cultivator. There really was no news at all.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Sun." Zhao Jinyu stared blankly at the breeze Shi Xuan had turned into and disappeared into the horizon. After a while, she finally brought Zhao Jingding's corpse into Guanhai City. Because she had the token to control the formations, she did not alarm the guards.

* * *

"Eldest Miss, what happened to the City Lord?" The two guards guarding the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion looked at Zhao Jinyu in surprise.

Zhao Jinyu said in a low voice, "Go and ask mother to come out. Don't ask unnecessary questions." Because she did not know what her mother was like, Zhao Jinyu could not say what had happened to Zhao Jingding. Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Jingding was already dead, exactly how she had died and what had happened in the Immortal Mansion would affect future arrangements.

One of the guards went to report to the inner court. Zhao Jinyu carried Zhao Jingding's corpse and walked to the main hall. Not long later, the beautiful Shen Xiaojin, who looked to be in her twenties, rushed out. Her body glowed with vital energy, and those servant girls and old women had long been left far behind by her.

"Yu 'er, this is?" Shen Xiaojin asked anxiously. At the same time, she stretched out her hand to take Zhao Jingding's corpse.

The emotions that Zhao Jinyu had suppressed for a long time finally exploded. When she was outside, other than when her father and senior had just died, she had cried a little. After that, she had maintained a calm and steady appearance. Now that she saw her mother, she could no longer control herself. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Father, Eldest Senior, Senior are all …" Her cries were heartbreaking.

When Shen Xiaojin heard Zhao Jinyu's words, the emotions on her face immediately became sluggish. She could not speak. She could only foolishly take Zhao Jingding's corpse and stand there hugging it.

After crying for a long time, Zhao Jinyu finally came back to her senses. She looked worriedly at her mother, Shen Xiaojin. Ever since she saw her father's corpse, she had stood there foolishly for a long time. "Mother, are you alright?"

Shen Xiaojin finally came back to her senses. Crystalline tears flowed down her face, and her expression gradually became determined. "First, carry your father into the room, then tell me the whole story."

After a long time, Zhao Jinyu finally finished talking about what had happened in the Immortal Mansion. Shen Xiaojin pondered for a moment. "So, other people who could pose a threat, other than Lu Lingxiao and that Sun Bufan, all died in the Immortal Mansion. Yes, but for the sake of caution, Yu 'er, instruct the head butler to change the formation in the city to its strongest state. "

"Yes, mother." Zhao Jinyu replied. Just as she was about to say something, Shen Xiaojin waved her hand and said in a bleak tone, "Yu 'er, go out first. Let me and your father stay for a while."

After coming out of her parents' room, Zhao Jinyu instructed the head butler and then returned to her own room. She sat there in a daze. It had only been a few days, but her life and her home had undergone earth-shattering changes. It made her sad and exhausted.

"Elder sister, I heard you came back. Do you have anything good for me?" The one who came in was her eccentric younger sister, Zhao Jinxiu. She was only a little over thirteen years old this year. Although she looked young, she was still a beauty. However, from the looks of it, she most likely did not know about her father.

"Oh, elder sister, you are in a bad mood. Xiu 'er will tell you something happy?" Zhao Jinxiu saw that Zhao Jinyu's expression was unsightly and immediately said to please her. Zhao Jinyu saw that her younger sister was concerned about her and her heart softened. She would let her be happy for a while and tell her later, "Yes, what is it?"

Zhao Jinxiu revealed a naughty smile, "It's that girl, Shen Yunyan. This time, she sneaked into the Black Dragon Swamp, but in the end, she didn't find any spiritual herbs. She even had an erotic dream. She actually dreamed that she was kidnapped by the perverted Sun Bufan and he did something to her in the Black Dragon Swamp. Haha, she was later rescued by a man who transformed into a cool breeze. Tsk tsk, otherwise, she would have lost her virginity in the dream. Elder sister, don't you think it's very funny? "

Zhao Jinyu's heart moved and she asked, "What does the perverted Sun Bufan look like?"

"A pale-faced handsome man. Bah, that damned girl Shen Yunyan is really in love. I have seen that Sun Bufan in the residence before. He looks ordinary." Zhao Jinxiu said disdainfully.

"Eh, elder sister, elder sister, why aren't you saying anything?" Zhao Jinxiu saw that her elder sister was in a daze and quickly waved her hand in front of her.

Black Dragon Swamp, in the market inn.

Shi Xuan was checking his harvest from the Immortal's Abode. The reason why he came here was mainly because there was an eruption of Earth Fire on a hill at the periphery of the Black Dragon Swamp. It was surrounded by a Qi Drawing Stage cultivator who collected money from individual cultivators and provided them with Earth Fire to refine weapons. Shi Xuan definitely couldn't use Wood Fire like he did in the Middle Earth to refine his Life Bonded Weapon. It was reasonable to use Earth Fire here.

As for why he didn't find a good place in the outside world to refine his Life Bonded Weapon, Shi Xuan mainly considered that it was very dangerous to pass through the Space Fog. Although he had the astrolabe, it was more appropriate to have two more Life Bonded Weapons to protect himself.
