Chapter 1673 - Xue Lin“s Longing

Chapter 1673 Xue Lin
s Longing
Walking on the streets in the Imperial Capital, Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy heard the conversations of the crowds around them and were shocked speechless at their comments.
Because in the conversation of the self-cultivators, the two of them were branded as devils who had not only slaughtered the Scorpion Assassin Alliance but turned them into ashes.
Black Puppy curled its lips and said in a low voice,
These stupid self-cultivators. They were hunted down by the killers from the Scorpion Assassin Alliance and now they are bad mouthing us after we got revenge for them.

But Qingfeng Li smiled slightly and said,
Haven’t you seen that those who are bad mouthing us are not ordinary self-cultivators but retainers.

Black Puppy looked baffled, not knowing what retainers were.


Qingfeng Li explained,
Retainers are basically the btches of super forces, like the disciples of sects. They had a cloud logo on their clothes which I once saw on the Crown Prince’s robe. They are all followers of the Crown Prince.

Black Puppy nodded with sudden understanding since it had heard Qingfeng Li say that the Scorpion Assassin Alliance was the Crown Prince’s secret force.
Now that his secret force was destroyed, the Crown Prince naturally hated the person who did it and that was why he ordered his retainers to spread rumors that Qingfeng Li was a devil.
Black Puppy said in a low voice,
Qingfeng Li, I guess the Crown Prince must be spewing blood in anger right now.

Qingfeng Li nodded in agreement, thinking it was very possible the Crown Prince was spewing blood.
Meanwhile in his palace, the Crown Prince was sitting on the soft chaise lounge. Pale-faced with eyes full of fury, he looked like an enraged tiger. On the ground before him was a puddle of blood he had spat out a moment ago.
At the thought that his secret force, the Scorpion Assassin Alliance, had been uprooted, the Crown Prince’s right hand shook slightly with fury.
Standing before him was a middle-aged man in grey wearing a scorpion mask. He came from another of the Crown Prince’s secret forces, the Five Poison Sect.
The Five Poison Sect was the most powerful sect specializing in the use of poisons, but few people knew they were followers of the Crown Prince.
The middle-aged man in the centipede mask said to the Crown Prince,
Your highness, all the people in the Scorpion Assassin Alliance have died and their bodies were burned to ashes. Their vitality stones, elixirs, spirit herbs, the gold, silver and jewels were all taken. Nothing is left.



Spurt!
Hearing the middle-aged man in the scorpion mask’s report, the Crown Prince spat out another mouthful of blood, turning the ground redder. His face was pale.
Taking a deep breath, the Crown Prince held his chest with his right hand, saying,
You investigate for me and find the person responsible for the destruction of the Scorpion Assassin Alliance. I will turn him into ashes.

The middle-aged man in the scorpion mask nodded and took his leave.
At this moment, Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy were walking on the street in the Imperial Capital, their destination was the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy.
Qingfeng Li intended to trade the gold, silver and jewels for a box of spirit herbs or elixir since he had no interest in and no use for those things.
Bark! Bark! Bark…
Suddenly, Black Puppy barked happily and ran into a restaurant.
Qingfeng Li was speechless. He intended to bring Black Puppy to the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy, but the puppy ran into a restaurant. Was it hungry?
Qingfeng Li followed Black Puppy into the restaurant, intending to call it out. Then, he smelled an intense and familiar fragrance.


Black Puppy pointed its paw at the bowl of an eater, saying,
Qingfeng Li, they are eating spirit noodles.

Qingfeng Li nodded. He had seen that the self-cultivators were eating noodles made with spiritual energy. The noodles looked soft and thin, emitting an enticing luster and a tempting aroma.
After coming to the Crimson Fire Continent, Qingfeng Li had found that the rice and noodles here were all made with spirit herbs.
With this food, the self-cultivators could increase their strength, removing the impurities in the body and purifying their skin, muscles, sinews, bones, and internal organs.
Black Puppy said beside him,
The spirit noodles reminds me of the noodles Xue Lin made me on the Earth. That is my favorite.

Hearing Black Puppy’s words, Qingfeng Li froze since he also thought of his wife, Xue Lin. Suddenly, he was overcome with a surge of longing.

Xue Lin, where are you? And how are you doing?

Qingfeng Li murmured to himself. Looking at the crowd who were eating noodles, he was plunged into memories.
– Meanwhile, in the Dark Ice Sect –
The Dark Ice Sect was a powerful supreme sect and enjoyed a great reputation across the whole Crimson Fire Continent.


The Dark Ice Sect had produced many powerful supreme realm masters who had awed the whole continent. In the ancient times, it even had a Spirit Monarch realm master. But after the Spirit Monarch realm master disappeared mysteriously, the sect had been degraded to a supreme sect.
Snow covered the giant square of the Dark Ice Sect since the whole sect lived in a great snow mountain. Many disciples were cultivating on the snow-covered square.
On the square, some disciples sat cross-legged absorbing the ice style energy from nature, while others practiced launching attacks with palms, fists, feet, swords or sabers. Most of them were practicing ice style cultivation techniques.
Xue Lin was not cultivating. She was standing on a cliff and looking toward the distant sky, deep in thought.
Like a crystal snow flake, her charming face and snow-white skin looked brighter and more stunning.
But without Qingfeng Li by her side, she was devoid of smiles and her face looked cold and distant. Many disciples dared not to go near her.
Today, Xue Lin was wearing a white dress. Standing in the world of snow and ice, she looked like a beautiful spirit.
She had been sleepless in the last few nights. She often dreamed of Qingfeng Li and was filled with longing for him, wondering where he was now.
She knew she must put all her efforts in cultivation. It was the only thing that could help her get out of the Dark Ice Sect to search for Qingfeng Li.
Xue Lin took out an egg-sized water repellent bead. She held the crystal bead in her hands and rubbed it lovingly. It was Qingfeng Li’s wedding gift to her and she had brought it with her with care. Looking at the bead, she missed Qingfeng Li with greater intensity.


Not far from her stood a handsome young man in white. He was looking at Xue Lin with heat in his eyes.
The young man was very dashing. With a handsome face, dark eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall figure; he was gorgeous.
