Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1131: Chapter 1130: Rushing Back

After agreeing to a showdown at the Nine Streams Conference with Ling Chen, Wei Wuxian, along with the Old Man in White and others, left the place with the mermaid girl.

”Is Wei Wuxian really going to participate in the Nine Streams Conference?”

Watching the backs of Wei Wuxian and the others leave, Lin Wan said with some emotion.

”This person speaks with authority. At the end of the year, his presence at the Nine Streams Conference seems inevitable.”

Ling Chen shook his head. Although he didn’t understand Wei Wuxian well, he could surmise a few things about his disposition from a swordsman’s intuition.

”Wei Wuxian’s swordsmanship is unmatched even among the younger generation in the Nine Provinces Land. This year’s Nine Streams Conference is expected to be more exciting than previous years.”

Lin Wan’s beautiful eyes glittered. Wei Wuxian was a genius of the Penglai Island Territory, originally outside the Nine Streams Conference’s scope. However, if Wei Wuxian attended, naturally no one would stop him. And if he attended, other geniuses from Penglai Island Territory might follow, undoubtedly bringing a powerful vitality to this year’s conference.

”The original intent of hosting the Nine Streams Conference is to provide a platform for the younger generation to compete and exchange ideas. The more geniuses participating, the better.”

Ling Chen casually remarked. His participation in the Nine Streams Conference was not to seek dominance or claim the titles of King or Divine Marquises, but for opportunities to improve himself, which was what Ling Chen sought.

”We should leave too.”

Elder Xunlong reminded them. This place was not safe, and if the Grand Elder of Huangfu Family returned, it would be quite troublesome for them.

”Yes, it’s time to return to Lingyue Island.”

Ling Chen nodded. The Cold Condensing Pearl was now in hand; it was time to return to Lingyue Island and report to Shen Bingxin. The Fire Poison within her body still awaited the Cold Condensing Pearl to resolve.

As for the Ice-blue Tower, Ling Chen didn’t think too much about it. Though it concerned clues about the Ice Emperor Order, considering it was in the hands of the Heavenly Eye Clan, Ling Chen could accept it.

If the Heavenly Eye Clan truly found the Ice Emperor Order, it would undoubtedly end up in Ling Yin’s hands later.

...

Nine Provinces Land.

Yangzhou, Lingyue Island.

Deep within the island, the climate is vastly different from other places. Due to the array formation, it is almost isolated from the outside world, shrouded in cold air year-round. In its depths, there is surprisingly an Ice Cave.

This Ice Cave is Shen Bingxin’s usual dwelling place. Usually, this place wouldn’t have anyone other than Shen Bingxin visiting.

However, today, the Ice Cave was quite populated with several figures, appearing quite lively.

But at this moment, the atmosphere within the Ice Cave was extremely tense. In the center of the Ice Cave on an ice bed, a stunning white-haired woman sat cross-legged, pure and spotless. Only her body was covered with fire-red lines, looking quite alarming.

A scorching aura spread from the white-haired woman, and the ice bed beneath her melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The white-haired woman was Shen Bingxin.

Her expression looked very painful, her face pale as paper, and her breath was very weak, like a fragile willow, seemingly ready to fall anytime.

Around the ice bed, sat several high-level members of Lingyue Island. The strongest among them was a purple-haired woman, wearing a veil, with delicate brows and a slender waist. She was none other than the Island Master of Lingyue Island, Saint Purple Heart.

Seated around her were several core elders of Lingyue Island, including the Great Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder.

”Sister Shen, hold on!”

Saint Purple Heart infused a stream of pure True Qi into Shen Bingxin’s body, helping suppress the outbreak of Fire Poison, but her True Qi entering Shen Bingxin’s body was like adding fuel to the fire, having little effect.

Even with the combined force of the four Great Saints’ True Qi, they couldn’t suppress the Fire Poison within Shen Bingxin, only slightly slowing its spread.

”Alas, how could it be so serious? Sister Shen, your Fire Poison has developed to this extent. Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

The Great Elder sighed. With Shen Bingxin’s current Fire Poison spread, it was almost beyond cure, and at this rate, Shen Bingxin’s life force would be destroyed completely within a few hours.

”Yes, your complexion was fine not long ago, how did your condition worsen so quickly?”

The Third Elder also asked with some surprise.

In response, Shen Bingxin shook her head. It was because Ling Chen used the Flame Emperor Order to help suppress the Fire Poison within her, delaying its outbreak. She didn’t expect the Fire Poison to erupt again in such a short time.

”Not long ago, Ling Chen set out to Lingyue Island to obtain the Cold Condensing Pearl, he should be back in a few days.”

Shen Bingxin’s eyes slightly moved. The only way to resolve the Fire Poison was Ling Chen, but whether Ling Chen could return before her Fire Poison erupted entirely was uncertain.

”Knowing the Cold Condensing Pearl could cure your poison, we shouldn’t have assigned such an important task to a disciple. It’s too late to regret now.”

The Fourth Elder also said with some remorse.

Shen Bingxin was one of the pillars of Lingyue Island, and if she died from the Fire Poison, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for Lingyue Island.

Just when the high-level members of Lingyue Island were all at a loss, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Suddenly, a figure walked into the Ice Cave.

”Who is it? Didn’t we say no one is allowed to trespass?”

Saint Purple Heart’s face turned cold, and her icy gaze fell on the newcomer as if to kill with her eyes.

”It’s me, Disciple Ling Chen.”

The newcomer was dressed in white, indeed Ling Chen. He was startled by Saint Purple Heart’s murderous gaze and hurriedly identified himself, not wanting to be accidentally killed and left with no one to appeal to.

”Ling Chen? You’re back?”

The Great Elder’s eyes suddenly brightened, and the coldness on his face vanished immediately as he eagerly asked, ”Did you obtain the Cold Condensing Pearl?”

Saint Purple Heart and the others were all on edge, the atmosphere tense to the extreme.

”Mission accomplished.”

Amidst the intense gazes, Ling Chen’s lips curled slightly, then his palm turned, revealing an ice-blue pearl in his palm, emitting a biting chill.

After returning from Penglai Island Territory, Ling Chen rushed straight into the depths of Lingyue Island. He knew Shen Bingxin’s condition was urgent, but thankfully, he made it in time.
