  When the chill started to invade Ning Cheng from his feet, it even condensed a layer of frost over his feet, causing Ning Cheng’s heart to go tight. He knew that once the chill managed to completely seep into him before he reached the summit of the bare hill, it would be equivalent of ‘turning white’ as mentioned by Yin Kongchan.

  Thinking of this, Ning Cheng suddenly started forcibly churning his qi and blood, causing the trace of Small Spiritual Domain’s residual poisonous Yang Qi to also flare up. At this moment, the layer of frost covering his feet also instantly disappeared into thin air.

  Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei were very familiar with that hot Yang Qi, which was because when they were being held by Ning Cheng a while ago, Ning Cheng’s body also gave off a similar kind of hot aura.

  Yin Kongchan understood in a flash that Ning Cheng had not deliberately tightened his embrace on her; it seems that it was because of the influence from this kind of aura.

  As Ning Cheng dispelled the chill from his feet, his speed also increased a bit. Once again furiously wielding the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, Ning Cheng finally was able to get close to the stone trough.

  At this point, even if Ning Cheng did not think about it, he immediately grabbed the stone trough and poured the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence into the two jade bottles, then sealing up the jade bottles, he directly put them into his ring.

  In the moment Ning Cheng put away the jade bottles into his ring, a terrifyingly cold aura swept over towards him. Just like an ice cold expanse of whiteness, it completely covered Ning Cheng and the bare hill in front of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng’s Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds also seemed to have frozen stiff, and looked as if it could not be wielded anymore. The next moment, Ning Cheng was just like a broken kite as he plunged down from the air.

  Ning Cheng was extremely horrified in his heart, as the farther the fell down, the more terrifying the cold became. He simply was not able to take any action, even his consciousness was starting to blur.

  Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan, almost at the same time, rushed up.

  “Bang……” Ning Cheng smashed into the hands of the two people, causing the two people to directly hit the ground, as the three of them fell into a heap.

  Just a fall of two feet, yet even after two cultivators at the great circle of Soul Essence Realm teamed up, they unexpectedly were not able to fully break Ning Cheng’s fall rather it even caused the three people to fall into a heap.

  “Kaka……” At this moment, sounds of bones breaking could be heard from Ning Cheng’s body, just like icicles breaking off, the sounds were extremely clear.

  Yin Kongchan finally extracted herself from the heap with difficulty, as she picked up Ning Cheng and spoke to Xu Yingdei, “Hurry up, the chill inside would grow heavier with each moment, ultimately it would freeze all three of us into ice.”

  Xu Yingdei also was aware that the situation was urgent. Barely able to stand up, she stumbled behind Yin Kongchan, and quickly escaped the range of this terrifying grey hill.

  Once the three of the left, the chill also started dissipating, before it finally disappeared as if it never happened.

  Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, who were standing a bit farther from the foot of the hill, were in much better condition than Ning Cheng was. Moreover, since Ning Cheng’s cultivation was theoretically the lowest among them, as such he was the one who had to bear the biggest brunt, as almost all of his internal organs were frozen. At this time, in order to maintain the integrity of his body, Yin Kongchan immediately rushed out, otherwise his body would have completely fallen apart after freezing over.

  “Ning Cheng should be okay, right?” Xu Yingdei wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth that was spilled because of the cold, as she nervously asked.

  Yin Kongchan also looked at Ning Cheng, before she frowned and spoke, “His condition is a bit more serious, he is completely unconscious.”

  Then Yin Kongchan looked in all four directions around them before speaking, “Don’t you feel that there is something strange here? Not only is our spiritual consciousness able to extend ten times that from the Hidden Mist Cemetery, but this place is also incomparably spacious.”

  Xu Yingdei also gave an En sound, but did not give a direct answer to Yin Kongchan’s question, rather she pointed to Ning Cheng in Yin Kongchan’s arms and spoke “You can give him to me, I can help him a bit with my true essence.”

  However, Yin Kongchan did not hand over Ning Cheng to Xu Yingdei. She just replied coldly, “You want to sever your emotions. But for that, you’ll have to wait for Ning Cheng to wake up. Currently Ning Cheng is severely injured, so I’m not completely sure about giving him to you.”

  Xu Yingdei also spoke out in a mournful voice, “I even swallowed a Burning Life Pill for him, so why would I harm him? Even if I want to sever my emotions, he does not even like me, so what kind of sentiment would I even sever?”

  Yin Kongchan still spoke calmly, “If you were not Xu Yingdei, then I would have definitely believed you, but unfortunately, your name is Xu Yingdei.”

  Xu Yingdei also calmed down, and looked at Yin Kongchan calmly before speaking, “If you also like him, I won’t compete with you, but you should at least let me try and save Ning Cheng.”

  Yin Kongchan spoke out in an indifferent voice, “The two of us do not have to create so many machinations between us, back then your ancestor Xu Binglan and my ancestor San Yan both ended up in love with the Heavenly Dao Academy’s Yan Fenghua, but this kind of thing will never happen for a second time. You can rest assured, the reason I saved Ning Cheng was just because Ning Cheng had saved me a few times, it is the same reason because of which you used the Burning Life Pill to save Ning Cheng at that time. I am not fond of Ning Cheng, but as it stands, Ning Cheng has to be in good shape before you can sever your emotions. Since you can use your true essence to help Ning Cheng, so can I.”

  “You are surnamed Yin.” Xu Yingdei’s voice also turned frosty.

  Yin Kongchan did not care about and still calmly replied, “My Master is one of the seven Floating Snow Palace’s Palace Master Sang Jiezhu, she is also my mother, but I did not want to continue following my mother’s surname, so can’t I take up my father’s name?”

  Seeing Xu Yingdei silent, Yin Kongchan suddenly spoke up, “Before Ning Cheng wakes up you can always keep an eye on me, whether or not I bring harm to Ning Cheng, you’ll be able to observe it clearly.”

  When the two people came here, they thought of the same thing. Then the two of them glanced at each other but did not say anything more.

  ……

  When Ning Cheng finally woke up, he found himself alone in a small room sleeping on the bed. Surprised, he quickly sat up. At the same time, he also stretched out his spiritual consciousness, however his spiritual consciousness instantly stretched out several thousand meters out.

  It seems they were still in the place from where they had collected the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence; Ning Cheng immediately understood this point. Before when he had entered this place, he could sense that the range of his spiritual consciousness had expanded a lot. Not only that, even the Corpse Poison Mist was also not present.

  Ning Cheng soon discovered that there was a person missing among them, no not just a single person, but even Xu Yingdei, who was outside of the house, was covered in blood and was slumped on the ground. However, he could not even find the slightest trace of Yin Kongchan; at least within the range of his spiritual consciousness, there was no sign of Yin Kongchan.

  Ning Cheng hurriedly got up, rushed out of the house and helped Xu Yingdei up. After finding that Xu Yingdei was not fatally injured, his heart finally loosened up a bit, as he hurriedly took out a healing pill and placed it in Xu Yingdei’s mouth.

  After a few breaths, Xu Yingdei finally opened her eyes. Seeing Ning Cheng, she spoke up with a pleasantly surprised voice, “Are you alright?”

  “Well, I will have to thank you for that. What happened here, how come I don’t see Yin
Kongchan here?” Ning Cheng knew that although Xu Yingdei’s injury were not light, but this kind of injury was simply nothing in front of his pill.

  “I also don’t know, before when we put you on the bed you were not yet awake, moreover I was also injured because of the cold as such had to sit down to heal myself. When I opened my eyes, I saw Yin Kongchan sitting beside you while looking at your hands. Seeing he like that, I immediately asked her what was wrong. But then I suddenly felt a sharp pain from behind, before I realized that someone sneaked up on me. Because I was already seriously injured because of the cold, I was unexpectedly not able to perceive it at all, and when I woke up again, the first thing I saw was you…”

  As she spoke until here, Xu Yingdei’s face changed, apparently she finally became aware that Yin Kongchan might have encountered situations more unfortunate than fortunate.

  “My ring is also gone.” Ning Cheng only then seemed to have realized that the ring on his hand had disappeared, as he spoke up in surprise.

  “Ah….” Xu Yingdei hearing that Ning Cheng’s ring was gone seemed to be even more astonished than Ning Cheng was. She then immediately touched her hand, before she spoke in a somewhat mournful voice, “My ring is also gone.”

  For a cultivator to lose their ring in this kind of place was truly not a good thing.

  Ning Cheng inwardly sighed in his heart, as he thought if someone really attacked Xu Yingdei and took away Yin Kongchan, would that person really leave the two of them alive?

  Ning Cheng suddenly felt that this scene was something he was very familiar with, when he was studying in Jiangzhou; he liked to read Jin Yong’s novels. This kind of scene, he had also read in one of his novels, at this time wasn’t Xu Yingdei’s situation not similar to that of the eldest daughter of the Zhao family? The only difference was that he was not the Elder Brother Zhang who was the schemer.

  “Fortunately, my original ring was actually not taken away.” Ning Cheng felt a bit scared as he picked up a gold ring from the ground then wore the ring on his hand.

  No one knew that he actually had two rings on his hand, which was because he had carved a Concealment Array Formation and Restriction on one of the rings, which was the ring that contained his miniature world. Moreover, this ring had a unique connection with him. It could only be sensed by him while being invisible to others. As for the other ring, it was just an ordinary ring.

  Unless one was an expert on the path of arrays, or was a cultivator with an extremely formidable cultivation, only then they would be able to see his other concealed ring. Once his concealed ring was seen, it would also reveal his accomplishments in Array Formations.

  However, although people capable of seeing through the Rank 6 Concealment Array Formation engraved on his ring were not many, but that did not mean that there was none. When Ning Cheng met Rui Baishan for the first time, Rui Baishan was able to instantly perceive his concealed ring, it was because of this ring that let Rui Baishan understand that Ning Cheng was also an expert in Array Formations, however Rui Baishan chose to not mention about it.

  Moreover, because Ning Cheng did not lose his miniature world, as such even though Ning Cheng looked shocked, but in fact, he did not worry too much about it.

  “It looks like someone has been scheming for a long time.” Ning Cheng spoke with a cold tone, as he put the ring back on, but the next moment that Ning Cheng put on the ring, he took it back out and spoke in surprise, “No, this ring is not mine.”

  This time, Ning Cheng really was not pretending, as he really thought that the ring on the ground was his, unexpectedly this ring was really not his. At this moment he was really a bit scared in his heart, fortunately he chose to keep two rings, a real and a fake, on him. It was also because he had not used his fake ring before, because of which he was not able to find out about it the first time.

  After a while, Xu Yingdei finally reacted. She quickly asked, “Are all your things inside the ring?”

  Ning Cheng however did not answer. He was silent for a long time, before he suddenly spoke, “Could it be Yin Kongchan?”

  Xu Yingdei immediately spoke with certainty, “No, when I was attacked at that time, Yin Kongchan was sitting by your bedside. It could not be her.”

  “Doesn’t Yin Kongchan also have a puppet? When we rode her shuttle, wasn’t it her puppet that was controlling it.” Ning Cheng asked once again.

  Xu Yingdei’s face finally changed, as she finally remembered about the puppet. However, after a while, she shook her head, “It’s not her. If it was her, then with her already having successfully completed her objective, why would she leave the two of us alive?”

  Speaking until here, Xu Yingdei suddenly stopped, as she looked at Ning Cheng in shock. She did not speak it out, but she already understood what Ning Cheng meant, that there was a fourth person here.

  Ning Cheng also did not speak up, although Xu Yingdei said it with certainty that it wasn’t Yin Kongchan, but her words indirectly were directed at Yin Kongchan. The only thing that did not make sense was that why would Yin Kongchan leave the two of them alive. Unless there was truly a fourth person among them, but if there was a fourth person, the same thing also would not be justified.

  On the contrary, it was highly possible that it was indeed Yin Kongchan who did it. Yin Kongchan took away Ning Cheng’s ring, but left him alive because he had saved her several times before. At least she knew about gratitude, because of which she left Ning Cheng alive. Even if she thought she obtained the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence, she did not take away Ning Cheng’s Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds.

  “Did Yin Kongchan really leave this place using a talisman?” Ning Cheng asked again, without mentioning about the ring.

  Although Ning Cheng asked this to Xu Yingdei, but in his heart he was very clear that it was definitely Yin Kongchan. Xu Yingdei’s serious injury was definitely a result of being sneak attacked by a puppet. But Yin Kongchan spared Xu Yingdei, this was a point that he could not figure out. Yin Kongchan might have left Ning Cheng alive, but according to logic, she would not leave Xu Yingdei alive.

  Moreover, Ning Cheng was also clearly aware as to how he was able to wake up; it seems that it was Yin Kongchan who had caught him when he fell down at that time. Because he still was barely conscious at that time, and in that instant he also remembered Rui Baishan’s words.

  When necessary, you must trust the friends around you that is the only thing that can help you.

  Because of which he chose not to struggle at that time, moreover at that time whether he struggled or not, it would not have made much of a difference to him in that situation, so he chose to believe in Yin Kongchan.

  In fact, he did not chose wrong. The reason why he was able to recover from these injuries was that he received conditioning from Yin Kongchan’s true essence. That is to say, Yin Kongchan had truly helped him. Since Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei have been in contact with him, as such he was well aware that the two of them had completely different true essences.

  “I just hope that Yin Kongchan has nothing to do with it.” Xu Yingdei sighed. She not only put aside the loss of her ring but also even expressed her concern about Yin Kongchan.

  Ning Cheng looked at Xu Yingdei with suspicion, “You’re relationship with Yin Kongchan didn’t seem to be very good before.”

  Xu Yingdei bowed her head, and spoke up after a long time, “It was because I truly was not aware that I am actually related to her until recently. She and I share the same ancestor, because of which I hope that she does not have any relations to this matter.”

  After listening to Xu Yingdei’s words, Ning Cheng nodded, but did not continue to cross-examine her words. Xu Yingdei’s words implied that she was not much co
ncerned about Yin Kongchan, as if she was not interested in finding a good reason as to why Yin Kongchan had not killed her.

  Ning Cheng simply replied, “My injuries are beginning to heal, so we should be thinking of ways to leave this place. We have to leave this place as soon as possible.”

  Regardless of whether Xu Yingdei had anything to do with Yin Kongchan, or even the loss of his fake ring, Ning Cheng couldn’t do anything about Xu Yingdei. A few days ago, if not for Xu Yingdei burning her longevity to save him, he would have fallen into the dark lake.

  That Transfer Talisman was his only lifeline, who knows if it could really be useful?

  No matter what Xu Yingdei thought at that time, she had almost paid with her life to save him. Ning Cheng also was a person who clearly distinguished kindness and hatred in his heart. In any case, he would help Xu Yingdei to restore her life, or help Xu Yingdei find a way to advance to the Soul Sculpting Realm.

  ……

  Ning Cheng and Xu Yingdei left the place, while his spiritual consciousness was already extended out to its full capacity from the time he got out of the bed. He wanted to find out if there was any other exit from this place. Whether he could go out or not, he was temporarily unable to return to the Hidden Mist Graveyard for the time being. The Hidden Mist Cemetery was filled with a poisonous mist field, while they were currently out of Obstruction Dispelling Pills.

  The two people only walked for the time it took for half an incense stick to burn before Ning Cheng stopped. Within the outer edges of his spiritual consciousness’ range, a familiar figure appeared unexpectedly.

  Yin Kongchan?

  The next moment Ning Cheng confirmed that this familiar figure was indeed Yin Kongchan. But seeing Yin Kongchan sprawled across the ground, Ning Cheng immediately sped towards her.

  “It’s Yin Kongchan.” After approaching Yin Kongchan, Xu Yingdei spoke with a quiver.
