C2756 The Scapegoat King

Xiahou Ning heard a cough and looked up, just in time to see the old man who had disappeared into the sky had appeared at the door of the room!

However, in an instant, Xiahou Ning turned around and cupped his fists in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "Greetings, senior."

Old Man Chen's eyes immediately revealed a strange expression... A mere Sea Breaking Realm junior was actually able to maintain his calm upon seeing him. This state of mind was truly not bad.

However, it was merely so.

Even if there was the influence of heaven's mandate, it was still fine. At most, it would only affect some good impression and make it easier for them to get closer to each other.

As for Ice Blue, whose body was somewhat stiff, she turned around and smiled awkwardly. "Grandfather."

Xia Houning was slightly stunned. "Your grandfather?"

Ice Blue nodded in a somewhat listless manner.

"You still know that I am your grandfather?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of sternness appeared in Old Man Chen's eyes. "Where's your brother? Didn't Liao Wen and An Yuan accompany you to cause trouble as well? Why isn't he here now!"

A faint killing intent instantly appeared in the icy-blue eyes.

Xiahou Ning's breathing quickened. Ice Blue actually had such a huge background?

In this month, apart from cultivating, he had been trying to find a way to find evidence. However, he didn't even know where Jiang Ting was, let alone looking for evidence.

Therefore, he had tried to resolve the misunderstanding. He had never started it, but now, Ice Blue's grandfather had come, and it was Old Man Chen. Was there still a chance for him to resolve it now?

He was a bit uneasy.

On the other hand, Ice Blue's voice instantly turned hoarse. "He's dead."

Old Man Chen's body did not move at all. However, his eyes had become slightly colder.

Ice Blue raised her head and revealed a hint of bitterness. "Grandfather. You... you know? "

"Liao Wen and An Yuan, those two brats, have left their lives and souls in their respective clans. They are all dead, and your brother cannot be contacted. If he isn't killed, then what is it?"

After pausing for a moment, Old Man Chen's voice was calm. "If it wasn't like this, then why do you think this old bone of mine would want to come to this remote sea? Do you really think that I'm here to take in disciples? "

Ice Blue's expression was slightly stunned. "Then why did Grandpa let me spread the news on the Wind Lightning Island?"

Killing someone naturally requires one's life. Since that person's strength is monstrous, since this old skeleton of mine is taking in a disciple, he will naturally appear. "

Pausing for a moment, Old Man Chen tilted his head slightly. "Then now, little friend over there, have you watched enough of the show?"

"Junior Jiang Ting greets senior. I did not know that senior would appear before. Please forgive me for offending you." Jiang Ting's apologetic voice sounded not far away.

Xiahou Ning's pupils instantly shrunk. Jiang Ting had been monitoring this place all this time, but he actually knew nothing about it?

"Huhuhu..." Along with the sound of air being torn apart, a ray of light flew in through the window of the inn, revealing Jiang Ting's gentle face.

Xiahou Ning's breathing immediately became hurried, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes... but that was all. He knew that he could not defeat Jiang Ting.

He could not even defeat Jiang Ting who was in the River Tier, let alone Jiang Ting who had already broken through to the Sea Breaking Realm!

"Little Friend's divine soul is really not bad. If you're an alchemist, then your attainments must be extraordinary."

Old Man Chen revealed a smile, then looked at Xiahou Ning. "As for this little friend, change your appearance and conceal your aura beside this girl. What do you intend to do?"

"Ah?" Bing Lan was stunned.

Old Man Chen berated, "You lass, Alchemy Dao isn't easy to learn. Strength isn't strange either. Sooner or later, you'll meet with a great disaster. Go to the back!"

"Oh." Bing Lan pursed her lips and stared at Xiahou Ning at the same time... She really wanted to know what kind of appearance Xiahou Ning was hiding.

On the other hand, Xiahou Ning's expression had become volatile... He was wondering if he should reveal his true appearance.

He was sure that if he dared, then Ice Blue would definitely misunderstand. At that time, would he really be able to convince Ice Blue and Old Man Chen?

If he didn't change back to his true appearance, once Ice Blue and the Dust Old Man had a private conversation, they would definitely know the murderer's appearance. ... Even though he wasn't the one who killed them, However, the Dust Old Man didn't know.

At that time, there would probably be even more misunderstandings!

Thinking up to here, Xiahou Ning clenched his teeth slightly. With a touch of his face, he instantly recovered his true appearance.

His true appearance wasn't considered handsome, but it wasn't ordinary either. On the contrary, it was rather eye-catching because of his tough and masculine appearance.

Bing Lan couldn't help but cry out, "Xiahou Ning!"

Xiahou Ning hurriedly explained, "Miss Ice Blue, listen to me. This is a misunderstanding. Your brother and Liao Wen were not killed by me."

The eyes of the old man, who did not care at all, instantly narrowed. "Eh?"

A faint killing intent began to spread.

The killing intent wasn't much. However, due to Old Man Chen's cultivation realm, the killing intent was extremely huge. Due to the suppression of the killing intent, many things in the room started to disappear without a sound.

Xiahou Ning felt even more so that he was like a small boat in the boundless sea that could overturn the sea at any moment!

As for Jiang Ting... Oh, he hadn't changed at all.

What he feared the most was the so-called pressure. That killing intent was even worse than a breeze to him.

If it wasn't for his insufficient cultivation realm, he only needed to release a strand of killing intent from his true body to instantly turn that Dust Old Man into a devil, turning him into a puppet that only knew how to kill.

Then, he looked at Xiahou Ning.

Even though the Dust Old Man hadn't done anything, he still felt that he could be completely crushed by that killing intent at any moment.

Without hesitation, Xiahou Ning gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: I'm not the real murderer, But I know who it is!"

"Who?" Old Man Chen's voice was very calm. Because of this, the killing intent dissipated.

As for Ice Blue, her eyes instantly lit up. Clearly, she was willing to trust him.

Only then did Xiahou Ning, who had relaxed, discover that his entire body was drenched in sweat. His face was covered in countless cold sweat, and there were countless bloody scars on the surface of his body... Just a little while after being attacked by a trace of killing intent, his body was already on the verge of collapse.

Was this the terrifying strength of an ascendant?

One had to know that alchemists were not good at fighting. As one of the most famous alchemists in the Sky-sea Realm, Old Man Chen was naturally not very strong in the same realm. So what if he was not good at fighting? Then how terrifying would those supreme experts who were good at fighting be?

He couldn't help but think of Jiang Ting, and the power that Jiang Ting had left him in the dust. His heart suddenly filled with yearning and passion!

Strength! Everything was strength!

If his strength was stronger than Jiang Ting's, then why would he be in such a sorry state when he was on Twin Peaks Island?

If he could suppress Jiang Ting, how could Jiang Ting take away the treasure that he had almost obtained in the Heavenly Mystery Realm?

The more he thought about it, the more Xia Houning yearned for... unparalleled strength!0

As he thought about it, he threw his head back and roared. "Strength, I need strength! Ah!"

A long roar spread in all directions.

The indifferent Jiang Ting turned his head and the corner of his mouth twitched. As expected of the Mandate of Heaven, after being attacked by Old Man Chen's killing intent, his strength had actually broken through.

Xiahou Ning could already break through to the spirit realm... as long as he found a Demonic Beast to suppress and kill, he would be able to raise his cultivation to the spirit realm!
