“Huh? When did that person leave?” Zi Xuan looked around, feeling indignant. It wasn’t easy for her to find someone whose strength was comparable to hers. How could she let him leave so easily?

It was all Sister Hong Ling’s fault for appearing at the wrong time. Otherwise, she definitely could have…

The surrounding onlookers also panicked at that moment. No one noticed when the man left!

“This is really strange! That person disappeared into thin air!” Someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Could he be some sort of immortal?”

“Even cultivators can’t make themselves disappear in an instant!”

Hong Ling heard the crowd’s exclamations, but her gaze fell to where the man had been standing.

She had already seen Zi Xuan fighting that person when she was approaching.

Hong Ling originally thought that Zi Xuan was just fooling around and trying to catch a man again. She didn’t expect this man to be stronger than Zi Xuan!

That got Hong Ling’s attention.

After all, there might not be many people like him in the five continents combined, let alone the imperial capital.

Zi Xuan’s cultivation level wasn’t high, but her poison-making methods were one of the best in the five continents!

This person actually had no reaction after coming into contact with the poison made by Zi Xuan. Hong Ling narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, “We can’t let other sects obtain such a person first!”

…

Chao Bai left the noisy street and walked in the direction of an old residence.

He could sense that this residence had the same aura as the body he carried. The person he was looking for must be here.

Chao Bai turned the ring on his hand and saw that it was indeed emitting a faint red light.

This ring was sent to him by Kong Niang when he left Spirit Mountain.

Thinking of this, Chao Bai smiled smugly.

After he woke up, Kong Niang asked him to bring the body beside him back to the Demon Abyss with the excuse of helping him leave Spirit Mountain.

However, he had only promised those demons that he wouldn’t hurt the body beside him, but he had never said that he would return the body to them.

After all, this had been the only soft human body beside him all this time.

He didn’t want to return her body to them!

Although Kong Niang scolded him for not keeping his word, she had already released him from Spirit Mountain, and those high-level demons couldn’t break out of the seal and leave the Demon Abyss. There was nothing she could do about it.

When he was about to leave Spirit Mountain with the body, Kong Niang was worried that he wouldn’t take good care of the body along the way and damage the body, so she gave him a storage ring and asked him to take good care of the body.

He also felt that it was more convenient to put the body in the storage ring than to walk around with a body.

Therefore, Kong Rui’s body was lying on the ice jade bed in the white ring.

Chao Bai looked up at the residence in front of him. The word “Li residence” was written on it.

“The Li family?” Chao Bai raised his eyebrows and was about to step forward when he saw two people dressed as footmen leaning against the door discussing something.

“Have you heard? Miss Li was so outstanding in the spirit beast competition this time!” A servant puffed out his chest proudly.

The other servant chuckled. “I didn’t expect Miss Ling’er to advance so quickly!”

“You have to know that the Patriarch and Old Master looked down on her back then!”

As soon as the servant finished speaking, the other servant beside him smacked the back of his head. “What nonsense are you spouting?! Be careful not to let the Old Master and Miss Li hear you!”

“Are our Patriarch and the Old Master that short-sighted?!” The servant said. Then, he looked around and lowered his voice. “Don’t badmouth them!”

“I heard that Little Four badmouthed Third Master at the door last time. He’s still recuperating in bed!”

The other servant immediately shut his mouth and didn’t dare to jump to conclusions anymore.

“In my opinion, if our lady can stand out in the competition this time, she will definitely be recognized by the queen. At that time, the Li family…”

Before the servant could finish, he heard someone shouting in the courtyard.

The servant immediately shouted in response and said to the other servant, “Guard the door. Master and Miss will be back soon!”
