After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He glanced down and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Peak of Tier 3, good quality."

He casually put the inner core into his storage bag, as if he had only received a worthless trinket.

Then, he raised his head and his gaze fell on Xuanhu Zhenren.

Master Xuanhu's face was deathly pale, his body was stiff, and cold sweat poured down his face.

He looked at the dying Purple Jade Lion King on the ground, then at Kongkong'er's ambiguous smile, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He has lived for hundreds of years; what kind of opponent hasn't he seen?

But he had never seen such a bizarre method before!

Retrieving the inner core remotely?!

What kind of technique is this?!

How can we fight like this?!

"Dao... Fellow Daoist..."

Master Xuanhu swallowed hard, his voice trembling:

"I...I surrender..."

He raised his hands, his posture extremely humble, showing no trace of the imposing presence of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Kongkong squinted at him but didn't say anything.

But his gaze was as indifferent as if he were looking at a corpse.

Master Xuanhu felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and quickly added:

"Fellow Daoist, I have already signed a contract with my spirit pet; our destinies are intertwined!"

"If I die, it will die! If it dies, I will die!"

"So...so this inner core really can't be given to you..."

He paused, then quickly added:

"But rest assured, fellow Daoist! After I return to my sect, I will personally deliver two inner cores of third-tier demonic beasts to you!"

"The quality is definitely no worse than this one!"

"How about this...?"

As he spoke, he looked at Kong Kong cautiously, not daring to breathe.

Kongkong'er remained silent, only staring coldly at him.

That gaze, like a cat playing with a mouse, carried a hint of amusement, yet also a touch of cruelty.

Master Xuanhu felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Seeing this, the gray-robed elder who was at the pseudo-Nascent Soul stage quickly stepped forward and whispered:

"Young Master, let's forget about it."

Kongkong'er frowned and turned to look at him.

The old man in the gray robe said in a low voice:

"The Thousand Transformations True Monarch of the Beast Taming Sect is known for his fiery temper."

"Although our Kong family is not afraid of him, this is, after all, within the territory of Zhao. If things escalate..."

"It's also difficult to explain to the head of the family."

Upon hearing this, Kongkong'er frowned even more deeply.

He remained silent for a moment, then slowly withdrew the intimidating aura emanating from him.

"You're lucky to be alive."

He said calmly, his gaze falling on True Man Xuanhu:

"Get out of here."

"If I don't see those two inner cores within two days..."

He paused, his tone suddenly turning cold:

"Then don't blame me for being impolite."

"At that time, even if your Thousand Transformations True Lord came, he wouldn't be able to save you."

Master Xuanhu breathed a sigh of relief, nodding repeatedly and kowtowing vigorously.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist! Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

"I will definitely deliver the inner core within two days!"

Having said that, he scrambled and rolled onto the white tiger, then fled frantically into the distance without looking back.

After flying quite a distance and confirming that no one was chasing him, Master Xuanhu finally dared to curse aloud:

"Damn it! Did I forget to check the almanac before going out today?!"

"We've run into such a jinx!"

"Two third-tier demon beast inner cores!!! All the spirit stones I've saved up over the years have been gone!"

He cursed as he trembled with heartache.

But more than anything, there was a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal.

He knew that the look in that eyes just now was genuinely considering whether or not to kill him.

People from the Kong family...

madman!

A bunch of lunatics!

He dared not linger any longer, and urged the white tiger to transform into a beam of white light, disappearing into the horizon.

……

below.

Lin Fengmian hid in the shadows, watching everything that was happening in mid-air, and felt a chill run down his spine.

He hadn't expected Kong Kong'er to be this strong!

Even the peak third-tier Purple Jade Lion King couldn't last a single round against him!

What the hell is this "Void Hand"?!

Retrieving the inner elixir remotely!

He had never even heard of such a method, let alone seen it!

Lin Fengmian swallowed hard, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

Is this the power of a super family?

Even when two cultivators of the same level joined forces, they were powerless to fight back against him!

Previously, I thought that I had already achieved a pretty good result, having successfully established my foundation, reached the second level of physical strength, and had spiritual power comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator.

Now it seems...

This place is so vast.

There are many geniuses, and I am not the only one.

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and stared intently at the white figure in mid-air.

He must remember this moment.

Remember this gap.

then……

Beyond.

midair.

Kongkong'er carefully put away the inner core, stood with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the chaotic battlefield below, saying calmly:

"Elder, have you re-locked onto that boy's aura?"

Lin Fengmian's heart tightened suddenly!

His hand was already on the jade pendant in front of his chest.

His consciousness was connected to the space of the jade pendant; with just a thought, he could slip into it and escape.

If I can't afford to fight, can't I at least avoid it?

Once you put it into the jade pendant, even if Kongkong'er comes looking for it himself, he won't be able to find it!

Lin Fengmian held his breath, preparing to run away—

next moment.

A figure in moon-white robes descended from the sky!

The figure arrived extremely fast, like a streak of light, and landed in mid-air in an instant, blocking the hiding place between Kongkong'er and Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian's pupils suddenly contracted!

That figure—

She wore a moon-white long dress and had cascading black hair.

She has a petite figure, a slender waist, and long legs.

Her beautiful face was now filled with anxiety.

Between his brows, an ancient mark appeared faintly, emitting a soft golden light.

Exactly—

Nangong Li!

Lin Fengmian's heart skipped a beat.

Why is she here?!

Is this... someone looking for me?

How did she find out about the Kong family's pursuit?

Without time to think, Lin Fengmian shrank even deeper into the shadows, continuing to hide in the darkness.

He had to see how Nangong Li would respond.

If things go wrong, he will risk his life to protect her!

……

midair.

Nangong Li stood in the void, her moon-white skirt swaying gently in the wind, her clothes fluttering.

Her beautiful eyes swept across the dense forest below, but she did not see that familiar figure.

The anxiety in my heart intensified even more.

Fengmian...

where are you?

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the young man in white standing before her.

Her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice.

"You're Kongkong'er?"

Her voice was cold, yet it carried a suppressed anger.

Kongkong'er was slightly taken aback when she saw the woman who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

What a beautiful woman!

There are such exquisite beauties in the world!

A long, moon-white dress accentuated her snow-white skin and made her features exquisitely beautiful.

Those peach blossom eyes were cold and aloof, yet also carried an indescribable charm.
