Swish! Slash!

Killing a beast on the way, Lin Xiao took out the core and kept it in his pocket. There were several cores there and Lin Hu had been absorbing them from the very moment Lin Xiao stuffed those things there.

It was in order to help him grew stronger faster and accumulate more Qi.

"This is slow…" Lin Xiao groaned.

Lin Hu scoffed. He was already working as fast as possible but Lin Xiao's dantian felt like a bottomless abyss. No matter how much Lin Hu gathered the Qi and Lin Xiao accumulated it, it just kept on accepting more and more Qi that was given.

He didn't feel full.

"Shui Yan City should be a day's distance away." Lin Xiao looked into a distance. He had taken nearly 2 months in the journey to reach here. Of course, he was not using his fastest speed because if he did, he would have already arrived a month ago.

He was taking his time to train and kill beasts.

Hmm?

Lin Xiao felt fluctuation of Qi and turned his head to the side. This scorching hot fire reminded him of Hell Fire, the special kind of fire that was very hot and brutal. At the same time, it was the type of fire that was capable of harming one's soul.

How come this signature Qi felt familiar?

Every cultivator has their own signature Qi. In short, their Qi was different because of the aura that they emitted from their body. Even those with the same element could be differentiate from each other by their aura.

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows as he sped up through the forest and climbed one of the tree. He stood there as he could see several figures fighting in a distance away. The fire turned the forest into an open ground. 

A figure was fighting against several people.

That person…

Ye Jian?

A name popped in Lin Xiao's head. He could faintly remember that during his early time of training with Prince Lin Yan, he met someone who was so powerful yet he was wounded because of the Hell Fire in his body.

After healing him, Lin Xiao then realized that the young man was indeed extraordinary and that the fire could be contained within him through special method.

"Lin Hu, I'm not attracting injured people, right?"

Lin Hu was speechless. "No. You're an Emperor, though, so you're still the last hope for some rare cases."

Lin Xiao's face turned dark as he didn't feel like talking with Lin Hu anymore. He was simply staring into the distance, watching as Ye Jian fought with his opponents. From the power that he emitted, it was clear that he and his opponents were all already at Nascent Soul Stage.

It was not like he didn't want to help.

But it was more like he couldn't help.

He had to wait until the fight was over if he even wanted to offer some help.

It was at this time that Lin Xiao felt a bit helpless. Even though he was powerful, there were still many people who were more powerful than him. He couldn't contend against their power in the slightest bit.

Boom!

The voice in the distance soon faded.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment before he used his skill to get closer.

Moon Evasion!

After modifying the skill a bit, Lin Xiao could now no longer used as much Qi as before when he was using the skill. Additionally, he could use the skill to travel a certain distance before he needed to use more Qi.

It was very useful for him.

Landing on the tree, Lin Xiao could see Ye Jian stood there with menacing aura. He was staring at the cultivators before him with red eyes while his body seemed to emit smoke. However, it was clear that he was at his wits end.

"You lost, Ye Jian! The Crow Organization will never let you off," the man coughed and spat out, revealing an eerie grin.

Ye Jian snorted. "My Snow Mountain Kingdom didn't only have me as their representative. Even if you want to destroy us, you won't be able to do so."

"Die!"

The man swung his hand but before he could even finish his movement, Ye Jian's hand shot out fire and the man died and turned into ash completely.

*cough* *cough*

Ye Jian was struggling. He glanced to one side. "I know you're there, reveal yourself,"

Lin Xiao: "…" his detection skill is still as good as it was many years ago.

Swish!

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao landed before Ye Jian. He was looking at Ye Jian with curiosity but at the same time cautious. After all, he didn't know whether Ye Jian would remember him or not.

"It's you…" Ye Jian had excellent memory. He definitely still remembered Lin Xiao since he practically owed him a favor.

"Same as before, I can help you but you owe me a favor." Lin Xiao felt that it was easy now that Ye Jian remembered him.

"Bring me away too."

"Two favors."

"%^&*(!"

"If you don't want, I can leave you." Lin Xiao grinned.

Ye Jian snorted. "Fine."

Lin Xiao nodded and then grabbed Ye Jian before he executed his skill but enveloped Ye Jian's body with his Qi in order to protect the man. It didn't take long for him to appear many kilometers away from the crater.

At this time, several people had appeared as the fight Ye Jian had was not exactly a quiet one.

The fight between Nascent Soul Cultivators were definitely not one to be taken lightly.

"He's gone."

"Someone is here first."

"From Snow Mountain Kingdom? They should be hindered with the formation. How come they're so fast?"

A man was wearing black robe and he looked into the mess before snorted. "Unlikely. There must be someone else nearby. Find out who that Ye Jian has been friendly with recently."

"Yes!"

With that, they all disappeared into the distance once more.
