Chapter 127: Kidnapping! Foreign Flame! Sword Son Becomes a Disciple, Receives Chaotic Ancient Heritage (Part 1)

"Princess?"

"Damn it, why did the Princess disappear right under our noses?!"

For a moment, they were at a loss, panic setting in.

Their divine senses swept the area, but they found no trace of Princess Qi.

"Quick, search!"

"If anything happens to the Princess, none of us will escape the blame!"

In a panic, they immediately contacted the Imperial Capital's officials for help in the search.

But...

They still found nothing, not a single trace.

...

Meanwhile, in a tavern, Long Aotian looked at the immobilized Princess Wenqing of Qianyuan and chuckled.

"I knew you wouldn't keep your promise, so I had to take matters into my own hands."

Princess Qi's face turned pale: "You..."

"Aren't you afraid that my Protectors will kill you?"

"And my father, the entire Immortal Dynasty won't..."

"Shh."

Long Aotian sneered: "A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

He moved closer.

His actions proved that he...

Wasn't afraid at all!

Princess Qi's expression was complex. She couldn't move, couldn't resist, but in her heart, she wasn't entirely opposed.

She didn't like what he was doing.

But Long Aotian satisfied all her fantasies about her future Imperial Consort.

Gifted, powerful, domineering, and confident...

But...

He didn't want to be her Imperial Consort, and even wanted to treat her as a concubine. What???

"However, sigh."

She sighed in her heart: "At least, cultivating with such a talent has obvious benefits for me."

If the Protectors came looking for her?

Since Long Aotian was so confident, he must be certain of something.

Otherwise, would he dare to act recklessly?

At least for the time being, no one would find them.

And during this time, she couldn't move.

What else could she do?

...

That night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Outside the Imperial Capital, in a desolate wilderness.

Tang Wu held Xiaoshan, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and after much comforting, she finally calmed down.

"Xiaoshan, you must believe me."

"I absolutely have no intention of abandoning you."

"You will always be the one I love the most."

"What I did today was just a temporary measure, not to win the favor of Princess Qi."

"Okay."

Xiaoshan nodded, softly saying: "I believe you, Brother Wu."

"That's good."

Tang Wu smiled.

"Sister Shan, in fact, I have always wanted to be with you forever, never to be separated."

"What about you?"

"Are you willing to be with me forever, never to be separated?"

Xiaoshan was deeply moved: "Of course I am."

"I can make a Daoist Heart Vow!"

"Why would I need that? Don't you trust me?" Tang Wu quickly said, then took a deep breath and continued: "We will definitely never be separated."

"But before that, we have a lot to do."

"For example, tomorrow..."

"I have a plan~!"

"Tomorrow, we will find a way to get rid of Xiao Ling'er!"

"Ah?"

Xiaoshan was startled: "Brother Wu, I know you want to be upright, brave, and passionate, to complete the Sect's mission, and I believe you are a true Peerless Talent, not inferior to any Holy Son, and perhaps even surpassing him."

"But Xiao Ling'er is also renowned, the Spirit Sword Sect's Sword Son has been defeated by her multiple times, and the battle she had with Gu Yue Fangyuan just now, though it seemed quick at the start and end, was actually very dangerous."

"Her strength is..."

"Brother Wu, just the two of us, I'm afraid we are not her match right now."

"Why don't we wait some time, until you truly grow stronger, and then..."

"Sister Shan."

Tang Wu chuckled: "I know you care about me and what you are worried about, but the Sect's mission clearly states that if not necessary, we should avoid acting ourselves, right?"

"We are not her match, but we can use others to do our bidding..."

"Gu Yue Fangyuan must have designs on Xiao Ling'er!"

"Even if Gu Yue Fangyuan doesn't act, there will surely be others with designs on Xiao Ling'er, and if not, we can create opportunities!"

"She possesses a Foreign Flame and has no significant background; there will be many who want to kill her and take her treasures."

"Moreover, I have investigated the Moonseizing Sect."

"Over the years, many have had a grudge against the Moonseizing Sect and don't want it to rise. If we use this, many powerful figures, even Great Powers, will be willing to act and kill Xiao Ling'er!"

"Hmm?"

Xiaoshan understood but still felt uneasy, pondering: "But even so, Xiao Ling'er will surely be aware of this and won't leave the city easily, right?"

"If I were them, I would use the teleportation array to leave safely."

"Exactly!"

Tang Wu nodded, full of confidence: "So, this is where we need to step in."

"Tonight..."

"Is destined to be sleepless."

...

The next morning.

Xiao Ling'er and her group were about to part ways.

Just before they left, a few people rushed past them, whispering to each other.

Their voices were very low, and ordinary people wouldn't have heard them clearly.

But everyone present was a cultivator with considerable strength, so they heard everything clearly.

"Is there really a mysterious encounter?"

"It seems so!"

"In that area, there were flames last night, burning for half the night. Someone went to investigate but found nothing, it's said a Foreign Flame has descended!"

"Wouldn't the Great Powers of the Imperial Capital take action?"

"You don't know this: In the area around the Imperial Capital, unless the opportunity is so great that even the top Great Powers are tempted, they won't act themselves but will leave it to the young talents."

"This is the 'unspoken rule.'"

"Of course, if any descendants or disciples of the Great Powers take an interest, they will also secretly lend a hand."

"Let's go quickly, don't delay. Many have already gone in search of the Foreign Flame, but none have found it yet. If we hurry, we might still have a chance!"

"Let's go, let's go."

"By the way, what kind of flame is it?"

"I don't know, but I can tell it's a blue flame, and from afar, it gives off a chilling aura."

"..."

...

They left, moving further away.

Xiao Ling'er frowned slightly.

Everyone looked at Xiao Ling'er, feeling that something was amiss, but at the moment, they couldn't find a way to dissuade her.

After all, no one knew if it was real or not.

Especially for Huo Yun'er, who knew that Xiao Ling'er possessed more than one Foreign Flame, they were all aware of the uniqueness of her cultivation technique and her need for more Foreign Flames.

Now, with a glimmer of opportunity before them, they couldn't simply persuade her to leave, could they?

Lu Ming stroked his chin and frowned slightly.

"Is the protagonist's halo activated again?"

"Wherever you go, trouble follows."

"If the Foreign Flame appears near the Imperial Capital, it will indeed be troublesome."

"However, as the saying goes, 'Good fortune and calamity are intertwined, and calamity leads to good fortune.' It might not be entirely bad. At least, escaping will be easier."

Running back to the Imperial Capital means no one dares to make a move, which is at least a tiny bit of good fortune.

At this moment, Xiao Ling'er also felt a bit perplexed.

In her sea of consciousness, she asked, "Teacher, do you think this information is real or fake?"

"A blue Foreign Flame, and from so far away, it gives off a chilling aura..."

"From this point of view, it might indeed be real."

"The 19th on the Foreign Flame Ranking, Bingling Cold Fire."

"It is said to have originated from the core of an ancient glacier that never melts. Although it is a flame, its temperature is incredibly low. Those with insufficient cultivation will instantly freeze into an ice sculpture upon contact, leaving no trace of life."

"Bingling Cold Fire?"

Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath.

"Teacher, I want to give it a try."

"..."

"Regarding this matter, you can make the decision yourself. As your teacher, all I can do is accompany you, whether it's a real or fake situation, a perilous place, or a blessed land of opportunity."

"Thank you, teacher."

Xiao Ling'er made her decision and looked at the others, saying, "My cultivation technique is unique, and I need Foreign Flames, but this journey is extremely dangerous. It might be a crisis, or it might be an opportunity."

"I've decided to go and take a risk."

"Let's part ways for now."

"Otherwise, if there's danger, I'll have to divide my attention to protect you all, which would be too troublesome."

"What?"

Jian Zi was anxious.

Wang Teng also said, "Senior Sister, I'll go with you. I also have some strength, um..."

Huo Yun'er remained silent, but her face was filled with worry.

Only Lu Ming didn't speak.

He also wanted to lend Xiao Ling'er a helping hand, but if only the younger generation were to intervene, he wasn't too worried—as long as he could intercept Gu Yue Fangyuan and Long Aotian beforehand.

But if it came to a one-on-two fight, Lu Ming didn't have much confidence either.

So...

Perhaps not going might be the better choice?

They had received the news late last night.

They learned that the Seventh Princess had gone missing.

Everyone was speculating about the Seventh Princess's whereabouts, but in Lu Ming's opinion, it wasn't hard to guess—eight out of ten, she had been captured by Long Aotian!

"So, as long as I can cause some trouble for them, I can solve a big problem for Xiao Ling'er."

With this thought, Lu Ming smiled and nodded. "Good."

"Fellow Daoist, shall we bid farewell for now, and meet again in the future?"

Xiao Ling'er was a bit surprised.

Although their acquaintance wasn't deep, according to reason, Lu Ming shouldn't have this kind of personality, right?

But at this moment, not elaborating, she slightly cupped her fists. "Until we meet again."

Then, Lu Ming and Wang Teng bid farewell with smiles and left.

Xiao Ling'er spoke again, "Everyone, please do as Lu Ming did."

"Like him, afraid of death?" Jian Zi muttered.

"No, like him, believe in me."

Xiao Ling'er shook her head.

"Please believe in me, okay?"

Jian Zi remained silent.

Wang Teng also sighed.

Huo Yun'er hugged San Ye for a moment, then sighed, "In that case, I'll go to the Moonseizing Sect to wait for you. The three elders are all temporarily residing in the Moonseizing Sect."

Upon hearing about the three elders, Xiao Ling'er instantly felt a bit uneasy.

But at this moment, not wanting to reveal her uneasiness, she smiled and agreed, "That's good."

"Be careful, I'll be going for now."

"Wait!"

Jian Zi called out to her, "You too, remember to be careful. Don't die! You are my destined opponent. If you perish here, my future will be too uninteresting."

"Moreover, avenging you and chasing after someone across the land is too troublesome!"

"..."

"I won't die. I'll wait for your challenge."

Xiao Ling'er smiled confidently and left quickly.

Huo Yun'er sighed lightly, handed San Ye to Jian Zi, and said, "I'll go to the Moonseizing Sect as I promised, to the teleportation array. Wang Shidi, will you accompany me?"

"I..."

"I'll stay behind to receive Senior Sister."

Wang Teng's eyes rolled, and he said, "Moreover, I have something else to take care of."

Everyone's leaving? Although I'm worried about Senior Sister, it's good that they're all leaving!

Leaving me alone with Jian Zi, this opportunity has come, hasn't it?

Although the success rate might not be high, I must give it a try.

Especially after meeting so many Talents on this trip, but the only suitable one is him! Moreover, he is incredibly suitable, almost a ten out of ten match!

If I let this opportunity pass, Wang Teng believed he would regret it.

"Okay."

Huo Yun'er also left.

Only Jian Zi and Wang Teng remained, staring at each other.

Jian Zi had originally planned to wait nearby for news from Xiao Ling'er, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Wang Teng's eyes glowing with emotion as he gazed at him, causing Jian Zi's body to shiver.

Thinking about his guess from last night, his scalp went numb.

"You..."

"Brother Wang, we're both men, why are you looking at me like that?"

He was especially disgusted.

Only you are Xiao Ling'er's junior.

Otherwise, see how I'll deal with you!

"Sword Son~~~" Wang Teng's voice trailed off.

Hearing this, Sword Son's skin broke out in goosebumps.

"Speak properly!!!"

"Huh? Wasn't I clear enough?" Wang Teng was taken aback, then said, "I don't care about the details!"

His eyes burned with passion.

"I have a secret!"

Sword Son immediately took a step back, as if facing a formidable foe. "I don't want to know your secret!"

Although I already know you're a rabbit and have a penchant for male lovers, can't you let me off? Can't you pretend you don't know? Please!

If it weren't for this Sword Son worrying about Xiao Ling'er, he would have turned and left!

"As expected." Wang Teng sighed inwardly. "Everyone despises the Chaotic Ancient Heritage, but he doesn't even want to know about it. However, I must still try."

"No rush, no rush."

"We should take our time to understand." He gently persuaded, "You haven't even tried to understand, how can you know that you don't like it?"

"You have to understand, preferably experience it firsthand, and finally face your inner feelings to determine whether you truly like or accept it, right?"

Sword Son: "(ΩДΩ)?"

"This?!"

"You?!"

He was completely flabbergasted.

What are you talking about?!

You want me to understand?

And even experience it firsthand?

Experience what?

Feel what?

And face my inner feelings?

Ugh!

Sword Son's face paled, and he suddenly retreated several steps.

Seeing this, Wang Teng was determined not to let him escape. He quickly followed, matching his pace.

Cough!

Sword Son was stunned, then drew his sword. "Don't come any closer, or don't blame me for being impolite, even if you are Xiao Ling'er's junior."

Wang Teng: "???"

Just don't, why are you drawing your sword?

This is the Imperial Capital!

The next second.

A powerful cultivator teleported over.

It was a powerful cultivator from the Spirit Sword Sect.

He quickly restrained Sword Son and sheathed his three-foot green blade. "Sword Son, what do you mean by this?"

"..."

Sword Son came to his senses and took a deep breath. "I was momentarily careless, Elder, please rest assured, I won't take action."

"That's good."

"I dare not cause trouble." The Spirit Sword Sect Elder earnestly advised, "The Imperial Capital has no special privileges for our Spirit Sword Sect."

"But you had a conflict with this person?"

He looked at Wang Teng.

Sword Son was at a loss.

"Conflict... it's not exactly that." He replied helplessly.

"No, no conflict, no conflict." Wang Teng quickly raised his hand. "It's all a misunderstanding. I just wanted Sword Son to learn about the Imperial Scripture and heritage of an ancient God King, but Sword Son was particularly resistant."

"I must have been too hasty."

He smiled bitterly. "That's right. The Spirit Sword Sect is a large and influential sect, lacking neither Imperial Scriptures nor heritage. It's natural that they wouldn't be interested."

"I won't say more."

He felt a bit dejected.

Such an excellent seedling, missed just like that.

"Imperial Scripture and heritage?" The Spirit Sword Sect Elder was surprised.

Sword Son was even more confused. "What Imperial Scripture and heritage? You're not...?!"

"What is it?" Wang Teng was perplexed. "I've been asking you to understand and then talk, but you won't give me a chance."

"Wait, what do you think it is?"

Sword Son's heart skipped a beat.

His toes almost curled up.

"Ahem."

"It's nothing, just that I, as the Sword Son of the Spirit Sword Sect, shouldn't cultivate the heritage of others. It's inappropriate, truly inappropriate!!!"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

But the Spirit Sword Sect Elder was anxious.

"In our Spirit Sword Sect, we only cultivate the Sword Dao and know only the 'Sword Dao.' We don't have many other heritages, so Spirit Sword Sect disciples can take on additional masters outside of the sect."

"As long as it's not a Sword Dao master and there's no conflict, it's fine!"

What are you thinking?

That's an Imperial Scripture, the heritage of an ancient God King.

In other words, it's immortal cultivation!

Even the Spirit Sword Sect doesn't have many of these.

When it comes to Sword Dao heritage, the Spirit Sword Sect has no shortage, but for this type of heritage, they are lacking, very much so! Now that someone is offering it to you, you won't even take the time to understand it before refusing?

At least take a look first!

"Hehe, young friend." The Spirit Sword Sect Elder put his arm around Wang Teng's shoulder, leaning in close. "It was indeed a misunderstanding just now."

"Oh, and Elder, I'd like to treat you to a meal at the Intoxicated Immortal Tower as an apology. How does that sound?"

"By the way, you mentioned an ancient God King. Who was he? Can you tell me more? Our Spirit Sword Sect is always eager to learn!"

"He has exceptional talent in the Sword Dao, and we are naturally not too concerned about his growth in this area. However, his main cultivation method is merely average, nothing spectacular."

"If he could improve in this aspect, it would be ideal."

Sword Son scratched his head.

Huh?

Does the Spirit Sword Sect have such a rule?

How come I don't know about it?

Seeing his signal, the Elder continued, "Sword Son has only recently joined the sect and has been focused on comprehending the Sword Dao. It's understandable that he might not know about this. Ahem."

"By the way, I am Zhao Xinchuan, the Eighth Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect. And you are?"

Wang Teng replied in a low voice, "The Young Palace Master of the Jade Dragon Palace."

Sword Son glanced at Wang Teng, his lips moving, but he ultimately remained silent.

"..."

"So, you're the Young Palace Master of the Jade Dragon Palace. Your reputation precedes you, like thunder in my ears! No wonder you have such exceptional talent and appearance."

Zhao Xinchuan immediately praised, but his mind whispered doubts. The Jade Dragon Palace is quite a force to offer the heritage of an ancient God King. I wonder what their intentions are? However, if they seek a favor from the Spirit Sword Sect, it might not be impossible.

"Ahem, let's step aside and talk at the Intoxicated Immortal Tower. Let's discuss this ancient God King's heritage in detail."

"I understand."

Wang Teng scratched his head, feeling a bit perplexed.

The Lingjian Sect seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Shouldn't a top-tier sect like this be indifferent to external techniques?

Why are they so 'eager' for it?

If I had known about this rule earlier, I wouldn't have hesitated.
