The White Tiger Clan was located at the northwest border of the Divine World. Even if there was a teleportation gate, one would have to fly from the center of the Northern Region to the Western Region.
Xiao Chen and the Ancient White Tiger left the Central Region and arrived at the Northern Region. Without stopping, they flew towards the northwest border.
"Xiao Chen, has your alchemy realm improved?" During the flight, the Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission asked.
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled, "Not yet, but soon. I will be able to break through to the Third Grade Alchemist Realm. I will immediately refine a Third Grade Alchemy Pill. By then, I will be able to break through to the Divine General Realm. However, I need to raise my cultivation to the peak of the Late Profound God Realm first. That way, the breakthrough will be smoother."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Flying high in the sky, Xiao Chen could see many people coming and going on their own mounts. The sound of breaking through the air was unceasing. In the bustling area, experts were as common as clouds.
A world with so many experts. Just looking at it made one feel incomparably excited.
"Xiao Chen, something seems to have happened in the city below. There are so many people." One hour later, the Ancient White Tiger suddenly transmitted a message.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked down and saw hundreds of people watching something in the sky above a city. Xiao Chen immediately stopped flying and descended.
In the sky above the city, a young and beautiful woman was confronting a heavily injured man. Behind the woman were a dozen Divine Generals. The onlookers were all shouting, "Kill him!"
"Strange, that man is a Mid Divine King, and that woman is only an Early Divine King. The people behind her are only Divine Generals. How could that man be heavily injured?" Xiao Chen glanced at them and couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't understand.
The person beside him seemed to have heard Xiao Chen's voice and couldn't help but answer, "The man's name is Nie Wuqing, and the woman is his sweetheart, Bai Xinlan. She is the daughter of the Bai Family. The people behind her are the guards of the Bai Family. The two of them were originally an envied couple in the Water Cloud City. They loved each other deeply. Even the Water Cloud City Lord thought highly of them and said he would host their wedding. What a pity."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he glanced at that person and asked, "Brother, what happened after that? What exactly happened to make them turn against each other? "
The man shook his head and sighed, "Alas, just as the wedding was about to arrive, something unimaginable happened. The Patriarch of the Bai Clan died an unnatural death. Just a few days ago, before the Patriarch of the Bai Clan died, Nie Wuqing disapproved of their marriage because the Patriarch of the Bai Clan disliked him because he was a Loose Cultivator who couldn't give his daughter happiness. Because of this, the relationship between the two became strained. Until today, the Patriarch of the Bai Clan died for no reason at all. Although the Bai Clan isn't strong, they don't have any enemies. Because of this, they suspected that Nie Wuqing was the culprit. Bai Xinlan also firmly believed it. After the news spread out, everyone in Watercloud City believed that Nie Wuqing was the culprit.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Nie Wuqing's injuries were so serious. It seems that he didn't do anything. It's such a pity that two people who loved each other turned against each other." Xiao Chen nodded. He now fully understood what was going on.
Then, Xiao Chen said, "But there's no evidence. Isn't it too hasty to jump to conclusions so easily?"
"This is the Bai Clan's matter. The Watercloud City Lord doesn't know how to deal with it. He can only let them decide," the man said, shaking his head helplessly.
"Xiao Chen, this Nie Wuqing is too ruthless, isn't he? Bai Xinlan's father didn't agree, so he killed him! "Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
"Who can say for sure? No one saw it and no evidence. It doesn't prove that Nie Wuqing is the murderer! "Xiao Chen said with a smile. Xiao Chen was only half-convinced.
"Xinlan, we've loved each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I've always been respectful to your father. Even if your father looked down on me, I would never kill him. He's my future father-in-law! "Nie Wuqing explained sorrowfully.
If these explanations were useful, Nie Wuqing wouldn't have ended up with such serious injuries. Bai Xinlan couldn't listen to any of it.
"Nie Wuqing, don't try to quibble. My father didn't look down on you. He just wanted you to work hard and strive for self-improvement. My father relied on his own two hands to get to where he is today. Who would've thought that not only did you not understand, you even killed him! Nie Wuqing, I, Bai Xinlan, was blind to have fallen in love with a heartless bastard like you! "Bai Xinlan pointed at Nie Wuqing and shouted angrily as tears of grief flowed down her cheeks. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred.
"Patriarch Bai was famous in Watercloud City for being a good person. He never fought with others and was always polite to others. He didn't have any enemies at all."
"That's right. Nie Wuqing must've had a falling out with Patriarch Bai and killed him in a fit of anger. With Nie Wuqing's cultivation, killing Patriarch Bai was a piece of cake."
The onlookers all insisted that Nie Wuqing was the one who killed Patriarch Bai. No one spoke up for him.
"Xinlan, I really didn't kill your father. You have to believe me. We've been together for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Why don't you believe me? "Nie Wuqing tried his best to explain. The pain in his heart could only be felt by himself at this moment.
"Nie Wuqing! My Bai Family has never had any enmity with anyone. My Bai Family has never provoked anyone. You must've killed Patriarch Bai! "One of the Bai Family members shouted angrily. The others all echoed in murderous voices.
"Nie Wuqing! Today, I, Bai Xinlan, will make a clean break with you in front of everyone in Water Cloud City. I will definitely avenge my father! "Bai Xinlan shouted angrily. Although love was still there, it had already left and would never return.
"Clean break? We've been together for so many years. It's fine if you don't believe me, but now you're saying that you're cutting off all ties with me? For you, I'm willing to do anything. I've been racking my brains every day to make you happy. I've even given up on cultivating. But in exchange, you've mercilessly cut me off! " Nie Wuqing couldn't believe that Bai Xinlan would say such heartless words. His heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife, dripping blood. His eyes were filled with grief and despair. After so many years, the two of them loved each other dearly. It wasn't something that could be broken just like that.
"Don't say anymore! I won't believe you no matter what you say! The hatred of my father's death is absolutely irreconcilable! " Bai Xinlan said angrily with tears streaming down her face. She had turned against the person she loved. How could she not feel like her heart was being twisted by a knife? How could she want to end up like this?
But because of Patriarch Bai's death, their many years of relationship had vanished like smoke in thin air. Moreover, they had no choice but to disperse.
"Haha!" Nie Wuqing, who was in grief and despair, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. His laughter was so desolate, so helpless, and so sad.
"No one can understand the desolate laughter. The laughter is filled with grief, helplessness, and heart-wrenching pain." Xiao Chen thought in his heart. Nie Wuqing's experience made Xiao Chen recall the events of the past. Didn't Xiao Chen also bear this kind of grief and helplessness back then?
"I, Nie Wuqing, have always been open and aboveboard, but I was framed by a villain. Now, even my most beloved person doesn't believe me. What's the point of living? Good! I'll prove it to you now! " Nie Wuqing shouted. His eyes flashed fiercely. A powerful force condensed on his palm, and he struck his own chest!
Seeing this scene, everyone's face changed. Bai Xinlan opened her mouth wide. She wanted to stop him, but she didn't know what to say. Her heart was filled with panic, and her heart was about to jump out.
"Xiu!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen made his move. He quickly flashed forward and shouted: "Wait!"
Xiao Chen's shout immediately made Nie Wuqing stop. Nie Wuqing looked at Xiao Chen, frowned and asked: "Who are you? You don't need to care about my affairs! Get lost! "
Nie Wuqing's palm was half an inch away from his heart, but he finally stopped. Bai Xinlan also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It was probably because she still loved Nie Wuqing. Although she wanted to kill Nie Wuqing, deep in her heart, she didn't want Nie Wuqing to die.
"I don't need to care about your affairs, but since you think someone framed you, don't you want to find out who it is? Do you want to commit suicide like this? Do you want to let the murderer get away with it? "Xiao Chen asked indifferently.
Nie Wuqing heard this and was stunned. He suddenly woke up and thought: "Yes, I want to find out who framed me! I can't die like this! I want to clear my name! Xinlan must be blinded by hatred, so she doesn't believe me and wants to kill me! "
"Stinking brat, who are you? Don't interfere with our Bai family's affairs! If you dare to help Nie Wuqing, don't blame us for being impolite to you! "An elder suddenly shouted at Xiao Chen.
"I dare to ask everyone, who saw with their own eyes that Nie Wuqing killed Bai family's Lord? If you were in his place and there was no evidence, how would you feel if you were accused of being the murderer? " Xiao Chen looked at everyone and asked. After asking, without waiting for anyone to answer, Xiao Chen used space transmission and disappeared into thin air with Nie Wuqing.
Xiao Chen's words suddenly made everyone present silent. Xiao Chen's question made them silent, after all, no one saw with their own eyes that Nie Wuqing killed Bai family's Lord.
"Will he hate me?" Bai Xinlan said in her heart, but she quickly reacted and fiercely shook her head and secretly said: "What am I thinking? He's the one who killed my father, so I must kill him! There is no future between us! "
"Miss, that brat took Nie Wuqing away!" A guard said, but Bai Xinlan didn't say anything. No one knew what she was thinking, but her eyes were very complicated.
"Who is that brat? Does he know Nie Wuqing? From the aura just now, he is only a Late-stage Profound God, but the movement technique he used is not simple. Even I can't sense his aura, as if he disappeared in an instant. "In the direction of the main city, the Water Cloud City Lord said doubtfully.
When Xiao Chen and Nie Wuqing appeared again, they had already left the Water Cloud City and arrived at a nearby mountain peak.
"Who are you? Why did you help me? What good will it do you? You are only a Late-stage Profound God, aren't you afraid of offending the Bai family? " As soon as he appeared, Nie Wuqing looked at Xiao Chen and asked. No one in the world would help for no reason, Nie Wuqing thought so.
