NOVPUBFu Qingsi recounted the details of the incident.
Ji Xuexiao had clashed with members of the Ancient Demon Sect, and it was clear that the members of the sect were strong, so strong that even Ji Xuexiao felt pressured. That’s why she left a contingency plan, which would be unnecessary if she managed to defeat her enemy.
If she did not meet up with Fu Qingsi at the prearranged location, it would mean that she had likely encountered trouble and that Fu Qingsi should find Su Changkong.
Ji Xuexiao was an outsider, and among the people she knew, only Su Changkong had the strength and backing to help her.
"Where did Ji Xuexiao encounter danger? Did she leave anything that would make it easier to track her?"
Su Changkong pondered for a moment before asking.
Now that Ji Xuexiao’s whereabouts were unknown, Su Changkong needed to know where she currently was so he could go and assess the situation.
"Sister XueXiao gave me this Ice Leaf; it is transformed from her power. With the resonance between the two, we should be able to find her location."
Fu Qingsi immediately took out a leaf carved out of ice crystal from her sleeve.
Su Changkong reached out to take it and began to carefully sense its presence. He faintly felt the leaf’s breath within pointing in a direction that should be Ji Xuexiao’s approximate location.
"Hmm... then let’s set out. I’ll accompany you to the Bright Night Kingdom to check on the situation."
Su Changkong nodded slightly, having made a decision to personally take a trip!
Su Changkong had always repaid favors and avenged grievances. Previously, when Hong Zhenxiang had stepped forward, Su Changkong had owed him a favor, which led him to act against the Life Extinguishing Association and consequently draw the attentions of Qin Miesheng, a fathomless monster.
Over two years ago, during the battle at Heavenly Dragon Mountain, Ji Xuexiao knew that Wei Shengxin was the reincarnation of a Martial Saint and yet chose to assist him.
Now that Ji Xuexiao was in trouble and had sent Fu Qingsi to find him, Su Changkong could not ignore her plight!
"Senior Blade... Even Sister XueXiao herself fell into danger against those people; should we go there directly like this?"
Seeing that Su Changkong agreed to help, Fu Qingsi couldn’t help but express her joy, as well as her concern.
Su Changkong glanced at her. "What else?"
Fu Qingsi hesitated, "Sister XueXiao mentioned you’re a Guest Elder for the Xia Yan family... The Xia Yan family is the imperial family of the Great Flame Empire, with profound resources. If the Xia Yan family’s masters are willing to take action..."
A smile crept onto Su Changkong’s face after hearing Fu Qingsi’s words, understanding her concern that his strength might not be sufficient!
After all, Fu Qingsi knew that Su Changkong was very strong, but the fact that even Ji Xuexiao, who possessed the Blood Divine Seed, had encountered danger showed how formidable the Ancient Demon Sect’s members were. Alone, he might not be able to change anything.
As a Guest Elder of the Xia Yan family, if Su Changkong were to request assistance from them, having their masters join would undoubtedly increase their chances of success!
"There’s no need; I alone am sufficient," Su Changkong said calmly.
Not seeking help from the Xia Yan family was, firstly, based on Fu Qingsi’s description that the martial artists from the Ancient Demon Sect were extraordinary, and average masters wouldn’t be of much use. Only a Pseudo-Divine Skill Grandmaster or above could actually contribute.
Such high-level masters, multiple would be required to confront the unfathomable Ancient Demon Sect, and the location was in the Bright Night Kingdom, outside of the Great Flame Empire. Even the Xia Yan family would need to carefully consider!
Each Pseudo-Divine Skill Grandmaster probably had a chance to become a Martial Saint in the future, and the loss of even one would be deeply felt.
Secondly, it was due to Su Changkong’s confidence in his own abilities. Even if there might be a Martial Saint with the Ancient Demon Sect, Su Changkong was sure of his ability to retreat and protect himself.
But if there was indeed a Martial Saint... Ji Xuexiao would not have been able to hold on until now. Judging from the sensation produced by the Ice Crystal Leaf, it seemed that Ji Xuexiao was in a difficult situation but was not critically injured.
As long as there was no Martial Saint, for the current Su Changkong... it was nothing much!
His confidence stemmed from his strength.
Whoosh! 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
A gigantic white crane came into being. Su Changkong jumped onto it and said to Fu Qingsi, "Let’s go."
"Okay..."
Fu Qingsi, feeling helpless and not understanding why Su Changkong, after hearing the situation, still chose to venture alone without seeking help from the powerful Xia Yan family standing behind him, could only reluctantly nod her head.
Fu Qingsi hopped onto the back of the phantasmal white crane. She possessed the Blood Divine Seed and could also wield flying Divine Powers, but she was not as fast as Su Changkong!
The white crane flapped its giant wings, soared into the sky, and rapidly carried the two towards the Bright Night Kingdom outside the Great Flame Empire.
During the journey, Su Changkong also took the opportunity to ask Fu Qingsi in detail about the features of those from the Ancient Demon Sect, as well as all the intel she had.
"The Ancient Demon Sect, by teaching those noble families to refine the Blood Divine Seed, clearly did not have good intentions and had other objectives. They seemed to want to cultivate the Blood Divine Seed and then reclaim it when the time was right..."
Su Changkong also understood that the Ancient Demon Sect’s objective was indeed the Blood Divine Seed. As years had passed, many noble families had refined the Blood Divine Seed, all of which served another purpose for the Ancient Demon Sect.
Bright Night Kingdom, one of the ten human nations, was quite ordinary within the ten, falling into the category of the lower three. It was constantly unstable, and now, with the beginning of turmoil, it became even more precarious. In terms of strength and foundation, it could not compare with the Great Flame Empire.
Taking only two days, Su Changkong traversed the distance of an entire country and reached the interior of the Bright Night Kingdom.
"The sensation is stronger now; it’s in that direction!"
During the journey, Su Changkong took out the Ice Crystal Leaf, and he could feel the subtle flows of Spiritual Energy pointing in one direction—Ji Xuexiao’s location. The Ice Crystal Leaf she left for Fu Qingsi was so that reinforcements could find her!
