Seeing the vapour of blood in the air and smelling the strong pungent scent of blood, Bai Chen could not help but shake his head before he continued walking to his destination, where the body of Zhi Hua Tien, the salvation realm cultivator, was.
It was only shortly after that that he stopped walking. His eyes narrowed and stared in a specific direction.
It was where Jin Huang Tien was before he’d exploded. The air that should have been empty suddenly erupted into a golden ray of light. It was so bright that Bai Chen had to raise his hand to cover his eyes against the glaring light.
Once the light faded, a translucent figure appeared. He was a bald old man with a rather ugly face. He was wearing golden clothes. He looked poised and powerful, unlike his slightly ugly face.
‘Jin Hu!’ Bai Chen secretly exclaimed. He knew who this figure was.
He was none other than Jin Huang Tien’s grandfather, one of the two deputy sect lords of the Gold sect. He was a formidable cultivator, a tertiary legendary cultivator who was very close to the divine realm!
Then, Bai Chen realised that something like this had also happened when his future self had killed Jin Huang Tien.
The old man Jin Hu, the legendary realm cultivator, had implanted a part of his mind into Jin Huang Tien’s body.
When Jin Huang Tien died, that part of his mind would form a translucent figure of himself.
Jin Hu did this in order to know how Jin Huang Tien died.
In case he was killed, he would know right away who had killed him. He would be able to avenge his grandson if he knew who had killed him.
“Huang Tien!” As soon as he appeared, the old man Jin Hu shouted loudly. His face was full of grief because Jin Huang Tien was his one and only grandson whom he was very proud of.
How could he not be proud? Jin Huang Tien was the number one genius of the Gold sect, even though it was him who’d secretly pushed Jin Huang Tien up to that position.
“Who killed my grandson?!?”
His loud shout was full of grief and madness. The air around him was distorted.
Bai Chen was not affected by the distortion. He only stared at Jin Hu’s translucent body and spoke in a neutral tone. “It was me.”
He was not scared of Jin Hu. He knew that Jin Hu was not really there. He was very far away.
“How dare you?” Jin Hu had gone mad. He turned his crimson eyes to look at Bai Chen. “You animal! I’ll crush you with my own hands and sacrifice you to my grandson’s spirit!”
“You can come at any time!” Bai Chen smiled coldly at Jin Hu.
Jin Hu growled very loudly, as if he was a vicious wild beast. His face showed utmost anger. He wanted to kill Bai Chen right now.
However, it was a shame that this was not his real body. It was only a part of his mind.
In a short while, Jin Hu’s translucent figure vanished. The air turned back to normal.
Bai Chen stood still. He thought to himself:
‘It seems like I have to be stronger, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to fight Jin Hu on equal footing.’
It was obvious that he did not think that he would have been able to fight Jin Hu on equal footing, even though he’d told him that he could ‘come at any time’.
“Whatever. I’ll think about that later. Right now, I should rush to the centre of this graveyard where the body of Zhi Hua Tien, the Salvationist, was.” Bai Chen shook his head before continuing forward. He chose the path in front of him.
....................................................
Boom!
A hand slammed onto a stone desk. The desk was crushed. Small rocks scattered about.
“AGHHHH!” A pain-filled cry sounded. It was not a physical pain, but a mental one.
“That bastard who killed my Huang Tien—I’ll never let you live!”
His angry cry echoed out in every direction. The source of the voice was none other than Jin Hu, one of the two deputy sect lords of the Gold sect and Jin Huang Tien’s grandfather.
His breath was rapid with the rage that he could not possibly control. His face looked terrifying.
A thread of a golden will gushed out of his body. The air was distorted as it moved through it. Nothing could withstand the power of this will.
“Lao Jin, what’s wrong?” At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared in the sky.
He was standing on thin air. He frowned and looked at Jin Hu on the ground.
The middle-aged man was named Zhang Xong; he was another deputy sect lord of the Gold sect. Compared to Jin Hu, he was a lot stronger. He had already set one foot into the divine realm!
Jin Hu was still in a rage. He raised his face to look at Zhang Xong and cried his lungs out as if he had gone mad. “Huang Tien’s dead!”
“What?!?” Suddenly, Zhang Xong’s facial expression changed drastically. His eyes almost popped out of their socket. Then, they glowed golden. “Is that true?”
“It’s true!” Jin Hu growled angrily. His body wavered like a wind and rushed in front of Zhang Xong. “Lao Zhang, please report to the lord for me. I’ll go there to fetch the head of the man who killed Huang Tien. Revenge must be achieved with blood!”
Zhang Xong nodded in agreement. “Go. Kill the man who took our number one genius!”
Jin Hu did not say anything more. His body faded into a golden light and rushed towards the ancient graveyard.
Zhang Xong’s gaze followed him. His face turned ugly and terrifying. His eyes were extremely cold, like ice. He muttered coldly, “I never expected anyone to dare to kill the number one genius of the Gold sect!”
