Kapitel 755: Chapter 126 My Position with the Body Sect is Irreconcilable_1
"Elder Ma, the truth is different from what you've imagined. Qin Xiao... he's not dead."
"To protect me, he was kidnapped by a powerful member of the Body Sect."
Xuan Ziwen's words interrupted Elder Ma's grief.
"Is what you're saying true?"
Elder Ma's eyes lit up.
Xuan Ziwen nodded with difficulty. "Elder Ma, could I deceive you about such a matter?"
"It seems that the Body Sect values Qin Xiao's talent highly and wants to make him a disciple of their sect."
Upon hearing Xuan Ziwen's words, Elder Ma finally showed a look of relief. "As long as he is alive, everything is possible."
"Let's go find the Hall Master."
Elder Ma picked up Xuan Ziwen and soared into the air, arriving in front of Jing Hongchen moments later.
Xuan Ziwen said excitedly, "Hall Master, it's terrible, Qin Xiao has been captured by the Body Sect."
"What did you say?"
Jing Hongchen's expression changed instantly; he felt as if an invisible hand had violently clenched his heart, almost stopping it on the spot.
"The Body Sect again. Not only did they take my treasures, but they've also taken Qin Xiao..."
Jing Hongchen clenched his teeth in anger.
He cursed inwardly, 'These despicable, infuriating people, not leaving me a single Soul Beast Embryo or Qin Xiao. This is too much!'
"Hall Master, what should we do now?"
Xuan Ziwen asked anxiously.
Jing Hongchen first slammed his palm onto Xuan Ziwen's back, his surging Soul Power immediately breaking through the seal Jinpeng had placed on Xuan Ziwen.
After retracting his hand, he said in a deep voice, "This matter is now beyond our control. I will go consult with Elder Kong."
He had seen the strength of the Body Sect for himself. Not to mention others, dealing with someone like Poison Not Dead alone was not easy for him.
Let alone over a dozen Titled Douluos.
Seeking revenge against such a powerful force was beyond his capability. He must seek the help of the Empire.
The silver lining was that the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device underground had exhibited no faults; otherwise, Jing Hongchen himself would have been in deep trouble.
"Hall Master, I'll go with you. We must persuade the teacher at all costs to rescue Qin Xiao."
"I, Xuan Ziwen swear, in this life, I shall stand against the Body Sect at all costs!"
Xuan Ziwen insisted vehemently.
...
The sky was already showing a hint of dawn.
After a night of relentless travel, Qin Xiao estimated he was now thousands of kilometers away from Ming City.
"Kid, have something to eat."
Jinpeng came over and handed Qin Xiao a piece of beef jerky.
In response, Qin Xiao scoffed, "I, Qin Xiao, would rather eat dirt or starve to death than eat your food."
If you're going to act, you must commit to the performance.
In the eyes of a sect, the choice between a meek disciple and one with an unyielding backbone is clear to all.
Qin Xiao was determined to portray the latter, a character with an unyielding spirit, unbending even in the face of adversity.
Of course, after reaching a certain point and gaining the approval of people like Poison Not Dead, compromise was acceptable.
After all, excessive pride can also be off-putting.
As expected, seeing Qin Xiao's firm refusal, Jinpeng actually showed a look of appreciation in his eyes. "Good, I admire people with character like yours."
"When I was young, I was the same as you. It was only later that reality smoothed out my sharp edges..."
Speaking of which, speaking of which, his eyes actually revealed a look of reminiscence.
It was as if he had seen his past self in Qin Xiao.
What a pity...
But, in the next moment, all the expressions on his face had disappeared.
He turned his gaze toward a spot in the sky.
Qin Xiao followed his line of sight and saw several shadows appear on the horizon, rapidly approaching.
In just three to five minutes, someone had already landed in front of Qin Xiao.
The person at the forefront wore a dark green robe, with long hair and a balding head.
With such distinctive features, Qin Xiao immediately guessed the person's identity, Sect Master Poison Not Dead from the Body Sect.
One of the pinnacle powerhouses of Soul Land.
Behind Poison Not Dead were several other powerhouses from the Body Sect.
Although not every one of them had the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo, flying with a soul tool made soaring through the skies no difficult task for them.
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
Jinpeng looked at Poison Not Dead, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Poison Not Dead smiled faintly and said, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"
Jinpeng burst into loud laughter, "Not at all. You seem to be in terrific shape."
"Sect Master, did you get it?" he asked again.
Poison Not Dead replied, "Had Elder Kong De Ming chosen to battle me, I might have had some trouble. But Jing Hongchen... fell a bit short."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and an item like a tray appeared in the center of his palm.
The moisture in the air immediately condensed, forming streams of white vapor that swirled around the tray.
The temperature within a few hundred meters of the forest plummeted with the appearance of this wooden box, as if it had suddenly gone from a scorching summer to a bitter winter.
Jinpeng's eyes gleamed as he stared at the tray in Poison Not Dead's hand, marveling, "Is this the hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo? It's truly extraordinary!"
Poison Not Dead affirmed, "Correct, it's this thing. I must say, Jing Hongchen really treasured this item, hiding it hundreds of meters underground. Even I had to expend quite an effort to find it."
As he said this, he couldn't help but show an excited and triumphant look.
And this was not at all excessive, for its value alone was already in the billions.
Now in their hands, wasn't it a massive profit?
Off to the side, Qin Xiao frowned slightly.
He couldn't help muttering to himself, 'Jing Hongchen is really unlucky. Even if he wasn't robbed by Huo Yuhao at an opportunity like in the original story, he still couldn't retain the hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo.'
Sigh, Jing Hongchen, oh Jing Hongchen, opportunity was given to you, but you couldn't grasp it. And Xiao Hongchen, it seems your lifetime chance to try absorbing the Snow Emperor is gone. But maybe that's for the better, as it was a doomed endeavor from the start, and attempting it might have cost you your life.'
Thinking this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle to himself, 'Hehe, from this perspective, did Xiao Hongchen and Jing Hongchen end up lucky in their misfortune?'
At that moment, Poison Not Dead asked, "By the way, Elder Jin, stop just looking at me. How did it go on your end?"
Sect Master, you're obviously feigning ignorance, thought Jin to himself.
But he knew that Poison Not Dead was the Sect Master after all and needed to maintain the dignity of his position.
He couldn't possibly take the initiative to go up to Qin Xiao, could he?
Very cooperatively, he extended a hand and pointed at Qin Xiao, "Sect Master, here, this young fellow is Qin Xiao. I didn't let you down and have brought back our child from the Body Sect who was lost on the outside."
"Oh?" Poison Not Dead looked over with feigned curiosity.
Qin Xiao met Poison Not Dead's gaze without any sign of fear.
This gesture alone significantly raised Poison Not Dead's esteem for Qin Xiao.
After all, among the younger generation of the Body Sect, not to mention looking him in the eye, even a glance at him would scare most out of their wits.
He became very interested in Qin Xiao and asked indifferently, "You, are you not afraid of me?"
