"What are you two doing" Fang Zhengliang asked somewhat irritably.The two individuals showed no reaction whatsoever; they were indeed trying to respond but unfortunately could not produce any sound.“X...Chapter 1443 Life-and-death Moment

Summer stared at Nie Zixiong, but her eyes were filled with even greater surprise. What was going on Why did this Nie Zixiong seem to only have the cultivation of mid-stage Gold Core

Could it be that Nan Gong Yan wasn’t actually killed by Nie Zixiong

When Summer stared at Nie Zixiong, Nie Zixiong’s gaze landed on Ji Qingying. Clearly, he was more concerned with Ji Qingying than with Summer, and in fact, he didn’t even recognize her.

"To unexpectedly meet Senior Sister Ji here is truly surprising." Nie Zixiong finally spoke, his tone indifferent. He said that he was surprised, but there wasn't the slightest hint of astonishment in his voice.

"I remember you! You’re that Nie Zixiong!" Ji Qingying smiled with an innocent expression.

Nie Zixiong’s brows furrowed slightly. This Ji Qingying before him seemed completely different from the Ji Qingying he knew. The Ji Qingying he knew was proud and cold, and she would never have such a naive smile on her face.

"Senior Sister Ji is joking. We were fellow disciples for ten years; of course you remember me." Nie Zixiong said indifferently.

"Fellow disciples for ten years" Ji Qingying tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Summer, "Husband, what did he say"

"He said he has known you for ten years," Xia Tian casually explained, but she continued to stare at Nie Zixiong without relaxing her guard.

"Husband" Upon hearing this term, a hint of surprise flashed across Nie Zixiong's eyes unconsciously. He then finally shifted his attention to Xia Tian and said, "It seems that I underestimated you."

"I heard that you killed the ugly woman Nangong Yan" Xia Tian suddenly asked.

Nie Zixiong didn’t answer Xia Tian’s question but stared at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth in surprise, "Core Formation Middle Stage Are you the Sky-Questioning Lord"

Before Xia Tian could respond, Nie Zixiong shook his head again immediately, "No, you’re not the Sky-Questioning Lord. Who exactly are you From my memory, there is no such person as you in the Illusory Immortal Sect."

"Sky-Questioning Lord" Xia Tian was surprised, “Who is this Sky-Questioning Lord”

“This name seems familiar!” Ji Qingying suddenly chimed in. "Let me think... Ah, I remember! The Sky-Questioning Lord is Master!"

Mentor

Xia Tian’s expression changed. Could Ji Qingying’s mentor be the Fairy Sister's master and the sect leader of Illusory Immortal Sect

Ji Qingying spoke up at this moment. She looked at Nie Zixiong, her voice crisp and charming: "You're so silly, Summer is my husband, how could he be our Master instead"

"Is your name Summer" Nie Zixiong asked Summer coolly.

"That's right, I'm Summer from the Four Seasons. The 'Tian' in my name stands for 'Number One Under Heaven.'"

Summer answered unhurriedly and then asked back, "Are you searching for Tian Wen

Summer’s words were not without reason. Regardless of who Nie Zixiong actually was, if he was truly looking for Tian Wen, it implied a terrifying possibility—that Tian Wen might be here!

If that wasn't the case, why would Nie Zixiong come to look for Tian Wen in this world when he should have gone to Immortal Cloud Continent

"You don’t recognize Tian Wen," Nie Zixiong looked at Summer with a still tone. "On the Immortal Cloud Continent, no one doesn't know Tian Wen. Even the Mystic Immortal Sect respects him greatly; it’s clear that you’re not only not a disciple of the Mystic Immortal Sect, but also not from the Immortal Cloud Continent. That is to say, you are someone from this world we're in now. But how could you possibly have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age"

"Hey, aren’t you being disrespectful towards Tian Wen too" Summer retorted: "Your meaning is that you’re not a disciple of the Mystic Immortal Sect"

"You don't have the qualifications to ask me questions!" Nie Zixiong's tone suddenly turned cold, his eyes shooting out two cold beams. "Almost all cultivators here are extinct, yet you managed to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage; it seems like you have other opportunities. I'll ask you then, do you know Yue Qingya or Ye Yumei"

"No idea," Summer was very unhappy inside but didn't flare up immediately because Nie Zixiong gave him an odd feeling, and even someone with slightly higher cultivation than him, the Southern Palace Yan, had died at Nie Zixiong’s hands. With Ji Qingying in tow now, if he were to move against Nie Zixiong, he wouldn’t even be sure of being able to retreat unscathed.

The bigger issue was that he couldn't tell how high Nie Zixiong's cultivation level actually was. He appeared to be merely at the middle-stage Jindan realm, but in reality, he definitely wasn't at this stage. This bizarre situation made Xia Tian hesitate and refrain from immediately confronting Nie Zixiong.

The most fundamental reason for this hesitation, however, was that Xia Tian still wanted to get some information out of Nie Zixiong. As the saying goes, know your enemy as well as yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. If he could find out Nie Zixiong's true strength and intentions, he might figure out how to deal with him.

"Is that so" Nie Zixiong scoffed. "Then I'd like to know how you managed to achieve this level of cultivation!"

Hearing this, Xia Tian calmly retorted: "Have you never heard of the Ji Clan's secret technique"

"The Ji Clan's secret technique" Nie Zixiong's face changed slightly. He turned to look at Ji Qingying again and stared for a few seconds before his expression shifted once more. "Senior Sister Ji, I truly didn't expect that you would sacrifice so much for a man. You actually used the Ji Clan’s secret technique to transfer all your cultivation achievements to this man No wonder now there's no difference between you and an initial-stage Cultivator!"

"What are you guys talking about" Ji Qingying pouted, "Why do I feel like I understand what you're saying but then realize I don't actually know anything after all"

“It's nothing. Let’s go back to our room and get some sleep,” Xia Tian casually said as he wrapped his arm around Ji Qingying's waist. He turned around and started walking away.

"Did I say you could leave" A cold voice came from behind him, naturally coming from Nie Zixiong.

Xia Tian finally couldn't hold back anymore and turned to yell at Nie Zixiong: "Are you an idiot Who asked for your permission anyway!"

As he spoke, Xia Tian also moved, taking a step that turned into an instant teleportation!

For things without certainty, Xia Tian decided not to act on them for now. Thus, while cursing him, he also started running away. In his thoughts, even if he couldn’t beat this Nie Zixiong guy, escaping shouldn’t be a problem

"Don't know when to stop!" With a cold snort, Nie Zixiong’s hand reached towards Xia Tian's throat.

Seeing Nie Zixiong’s movements, Xia Tian was already certain that Nan Gong Yan really had died at the hands of Nie Zixiong. This bastard clearly enjoyed crushing others' throats!

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, but Xia Tian's actions didn't stop. He took a step forward, but in the next second, he was drenched in cold sweat as he realized that he couldn't move at all. The teleportation technique could not be used either!

A powerful force surged from all directions, but it wasn’t true qi; instead, it seemed to be an odd mental power. His body didn’t feel any pressure, but his mind was bearing an unmatchable pressure, which suppressed him and kept him immobile.

In this instant, Xia Tian suddenly understood that he hadn't been mistaken—Nie Zixiong indeed possessed the cultivation of middle-stage Gold Core Realm, but Nie Zixiong also had extremely powerful mental power. It was precisely due to this mental force that he killed Nan Gong Yan and now kept Xia Tian on the brink of death!

In a blink of an eye, Nie Zixiong's palm was about to touch Xia Tian’s throat, while Xia Tian tried his best to resist the mental pressure but saw no effect.

"Ah…" A sudden scream rang out from Ji Qingying's mouth. "Don’t kill my husband!"

As this scream rang out, Xia Tian suddenly noticed an unusual fluctuation in the powerful mental force that had been suppressing him. This slight disturbance brought him a great opportunity because at this moment, he was able to move again!

His hands swiftly dug into his chest; one hand threw out dozens of silver needles while the other flicked out several strands of powder. At the same time, he gathered energy in both palms and struck Nie Zixiong with all speed and force.

No matter how powerful Nie Zixiong's mental strength was, it still needed to manifest through his physical body. His physical body only had the cultivation level of mid-core formation stage, so if Xia Tian destroyed this physical form, the mental power would lose its basis for existence and Nie Zixiong would be doomed. This was Xia Tian’s thought; instead of fleeing, he chose to take a gamble with all his might to kill Nie Zixiong.

But just then, Nie Zixiong suddenly vanished, leaving Xia Tian's powerful strike without an objective and instantly failing.

The next second, Xia Tian felt the overwhelming mental force press down on him again. This time it was even more potent, rendering him utterly immobile once more. Almost simultaneously, Nie Zixiong reappeared in his sight, with his palm once again heading toward Xia Tian's throat!

"Nie Zixiong, get the hell out of here now!" a cold voice rang out suddenly. "Otherwise, I'll exterminate your nine generations!"

Nie Zixiong’s attack abruptly stopped; he turned around to look at Ji Qingying with an expression of surprise.

The extraordinarily powerful mental force vanished completely all of a sudden and Xia Tian regained his ability to move. This time, however, he didn’t immediately launch an attack on Nie Zixiong but rather looked towards Ji Qingying as Nie Zixiong did, with the same surprised expression.

The cold voice just now was from Ji Qingying, yet it wasn't exactly her voice—it was the voice of the extremely haughty Ji Qingying before, not the innocent and cute Ji Qingying after losing her memory.aworld"Dad, it's nothing really. I just accidentally pierced the golden needle into my head," Qian Duoduo finally spoke up, but what he said made Xia Tian very unhappy."Hey, are you out of your mind"...
