Chapter 582: A Corner of Huan Tian City

Chapter 582: A Corner of Huan Tian City

Su Kexin often had a mysterious confidence, placing immense trust in her intuition.

If she felt there was a Senior Martial Brother around, then there absolutely was one!

After all, they were a perfectly in-sync pair, practically becoming a couple on the path of immortality! It was unacceptable for her not to find him.

Descending from the sky on her Spirit Sword, she arrived at the scene and spotted the icy layers ahead.

This was it!

She instinctively thought of Qin Shili when she saw the ice layer.

After all, Qin Shili left only after hearing news about Lin Nuo. Although she claimed to be spurred into fighting spirit to eradicate the vicious Fierce Beasts for the sake of the people, Su Kexin couldn’t shake off her doubts.

Yeah, that fight-engendering spirit didn’t seem quite right.

Maybe that was her Spirit Technique!

She felt her Senior Martial Brother was in danger.

Impulsive by nature, Su Kexin didn’t think twice. Heat surged into her head; if Lin Nuo was in trouble, she had to strike!

Having just broken her seclusion and mastered the Mingxin Sword Technique, she thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase her skills.

Wearing the silver-white Phoenix Sword, this had become her primary weapon, always at her side. Lin Nuo, on the other hand, had to consider his identity. No way he would wear it to Helong Hall; that would expose him. Generally, he would carry it only when leaving under the name of Xuanyun Sect.

Taking a deep breath, Su Kexin gathered her Spirit Power and energy, channeling it into the Phoenix Sword. With a swift motion, she swung the sword down at the ice layer.

Bam!

The ice layer shattered—this protective barrier could no longer hold, completely breaking apart.

As it shattered, Su Kexin caught sight of the scene within.

To her, it was extremely shocking. Her Second Martial Sister, Qin Shili, was pinning Lin Nuo down, her dress disheveled, revealing skin as white as snow, and she was leaning down, licking and kissing Lin Nuo’s body in a sultry manner.

To Su Kexin, Lin Nuo displayed a fit physique that was undeniably tempting, sending her heart racing.

But now Qin Shili was messing it all up! How could she stand for that?

If anyone was going to mess around, it should be her!

No, if it were her, it wouldn’t be messing around; it would be gentle caresses!

“What do you think you’re doing to my Senior Martial Brother?!”

Su Kexin was furious, her anger bubbling over, her dark hair flowing wildly.

Qin Shili remained calm, seeing Su Kexin arrive with a cold, dismissive smile on her face. She even leaned down to kiss Lin Nuo again to provoke Su Kexin.

The rivalry between the two sisters wasn’t a new thing; although they rarely interacted, turmoil often arose due to Lin Nuo’s presence. The explosion at the Spirit Spring was just the beginning of their conflicts.

“Looks like your seclusion had some effect.”

“Enough with the nonsense! You can’t get away with messing with my Senior Martial Brother!”

Fuming, Su Kexin immediately swung her sword. As a wielder of Fire Spiritual Root, her Spirit Sword blazed with intense flames.

Fire Spiritual Root had an advantage over Ice Spiritual Root, making it easy to break through Qin Shili’s ice layer. However, facing her head-on would naturally be challenging.

Qin Shili waved her hand, and a chilling wind swept through, instantly freezing Su Kexin’s legs.

This freezing bind was something Su Kexin had a plan for.

Flames ignited around her legs, melting the ice.

Her time in seclusion had really paid off—she not only mastered the Mingxin Sword Technique but also improved her skills and judgment.

Qin Shili had underestimated her, thinking freezing her legs would prevent her from fighting back, only to find she could break free.

Time to show off some skills.

She unsheathed her Spirit Sword, surrounded by frosty air that froze nearby grass and flowers.

Even with the fire enhancements, Qin Shili still held the upper hand. Even though Su Kexin had Fire Spiritual Root backing her, the flames were extinguished by the icy force, leaving her vulnerable to being frozen again.

How could she lose to you?!

Su Kexin’s fighting spirit ignited as blazing flames enveloped her, melting away the ice. Then, she rapidly swung her sword.

Bam!

The two swords clashed, producing a fierce sound of metal on metal—a true battle of Ice and Fire, intensifying with every moment, as if they could destroy the forest, leaving no trace behind.

It seemed to portend a devastating outcome reminiscent of the Spirit Spring’s calamity.

What a pity.

Lin Nuo’s body was bound by Qin Shili’s ice magic, making it difficult for him to move. However, Su Kexin’s appearance, with flames burning, had broken the ice binding him!

Quite good—the battle wasn’t easy for her, but she still managed to help him!

Now Lin Nuo had a chance; without the ice magic holding him back, he could make a swift escape. Otherwise, getting caught up in their fight was no joke—he could end up in a bad situation.

Alright, run first and don’t look back.

Lin Nuo quietly moved toward the nearby trees, where the two were in a heated battle. Although Su Kexin was disadvantaged, she was a pesky little survivor, full of fighting spirit even after being suppressed numerous times.

Qin Shili still measured her strength, not viewing Su Kexin as a mortal enemy—she held back, or else Su Kexin would have been shattered, causing trouble for everyone.

Despite repeated contests with Su Kexin, Qin Shili had never crushed her. Even in anger, she maintained some reason.

But Su Kexin didn’t possess the same level of reasoning as Qin Shili; she went all out, determined to rescue her Senior Martial Brother!

And she did it! She managed to save Lin Nuo, but he evaded her grasp and ran.

Running like the wind, leaving not a single cloud behind.

…

Lin Nuo dashed back to the marketplace, having disguised himself in a long cloak and mask—nobody could see through it.

He felt increasingly restless in Huan Tian City. Although Liu Shuqin and her friends were usually quite gentle, when gathered, their bickering was enough to annoy him.

And now, with Qin Shili and Su Kexin showing up, things were louder than the chaos of the Spring and Autumn period!

So he planned to hide for a while, regain his strength, and then pull back.

However, he realized there was nowhere to hide in Huan Tian City. After all, this was Liu’s territory; a digging-style search wouldn’t leave him unscathed.

Or perhaps he should gather some supplies first before retreating.

Currently, Huan Tian City was under reconstruction. The recent assault by the divine-level beasts had been devastating; more than half the city’s buildings and streets were destroyed.

But the citizens were united, quickly rallying to restore order, and within a few days, things were looking up again.

Moreover, the court had sent support, though it was minimal, it was still a gesture from the government.

This made Lin Nuo chuckle—a princess was lost here, and yet they still sent help to save a city that might as well be destroyed!

There was a rather peculiar place in Huan Tian City called Fenling Street, which hadn’t been affected by the beast chaos.

Fenling Street was tucked away at the corner of Huan Tian City, too small and isolated for many to visit. It was a place where the items sold were generally useless to the common folk, so few ventured there.

It specialized in selling odd gadgets. If anyone asked about their purpose, the vendors would simply say, “Don’t speak of it directly. Those who understand will understand,” creating an air of mystery.

It was like a riddle shop—one for those in the Spirit Realm.

At first, curious passersby would wander over, only to find junk. When the vendors remained tight-lipped, visitors stopped coming, and soon, it became rather deserted.

Despite this, the vendors still kept their shops open; perhaps they were powered by love.

And Lin Nuo decided to head there to find a safe spot to hide.
