Chapter 1340: Trouble
Translator: Legge
Southern Region, Beiming Town.
In the ancient era, the Beiming aristocratic family was originally ranked alongside the three great aristocratic families. However, times changed and the territory of the Beiming aristocratic family was now mostly occupied by the three aristocratic families.
Right now, they were left with this town that was surrounded by the three aristocratic families.
It was impossible for anyone from the Beiming clan to leave the territory of the three aristocratic families!
While the name of the Beiming aristocratic family remains, they are almost completely wiped out.
If not for the fact that the three aristocratic families were interested in the legend of the Beiming aristocratic family and the secret they were guarding, the Beiming aristocratic family would have been destroyed a long time ago!
Although they were millions of kilometers apart, the Green Lotus True Body could sense the situation of the Dragon True Body and was relieved.
Right now, the only thing Su Zimo was worried about was Night Spirit.
They were dispersed by the wild currents of the void and the Green Lotus True Body and Dragon True Body were teleported to foreign lands with a distance of millions of kilometers apart. He did not know how Night Spirit was right now or whether he was still floating in the wild currents of the void.
Right then, Su Zimo’s heart stirred. His gaze penetrated the window and landed on the girl in the courtyard.
A year and a half had passed since Su Zimo imparted the Dao.
During this period of time, Beiming Xue had undergone a complete transformation and her cultivation advanced tremendously. She had already reached the Tsunami Blood realm a month ago!
Under normal circumstances, one could attempt to condense a Blood Qi Golden Core the moment their bloodline was at the Lead Mercury Amalgam Blood realm.
However, Su Zimo had extremely high expectations for Beiming Xue.
He taught her according to the highest expectations.
Therefore, Su Zimo did not rush Beiming Xue to condense her Blood Qi Golden Core. Instead, he had her focus on cultivating her bloodline.
With a firm foundation, Beiming Xue’s future would be even broader and her accomplishments would be limitless!
It would also be much easier for her to condense a Blood Qi Golden Core after she was at the Tsunami Blood realm—everything would fall into place naturally at that time.
In just a month, Beiming Xue touched the barrier of the Blood Qi Golden Core.
Earlier on, Su Zimo could clearly sense that Beiming Xue’s aura had changed!
Initially, her blood qi was surging after she cultivated to the Tsunami Blood realm. Even if she did not move, no one could ignore her.
Her blood qi was torrential and exuberant!
Beiming Xue stood there like a pure-blooded ferocious beast!
Thankfully, nobody came during this period of time and Beiming Ao did not return.
Otherwise, his jaws would have dropped when he saw Beiming Xue like this!
But now, Beiming Xue’s blood qi retracted rapidly, as though it had condensed into a single spot in an instant!
Her aura converged once more.
Now, that seemingly quiet girl seemed to have returned.
However, those with sharper eyes could tell that the current girl was much stronger than Beiming Xue who had a torrential blood qi a month ago!
The Sixth Transformation of the Martial Dao, the Blood Qi Golden Core, succeeded!
In the courtyard.
Beiming Xue was delighted when she sensed the condition of her body. She turned around, wanting to share her joy with Su Zimo right away.
The moment she turned around, she caught sight of him standing not far away, smiling at her.
“Mr. Su, I’ve condensed a Blood Qi Golden Core!”
Beiming Xue said joyfully.
“Yes,”
Su Zimo nodded slightly. “Very good. Continue cultivating and don’t slack off.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Beiming Xue bowed deeply to Su Zimo. “If not for you, sir, I might still be lingering in the First Transformation of the Martial Dao.”
“Everything is preordained,”
Su Zimo said, “The opportunity I’m granting you is also due to the cycle of karma.”
Beiming Xue was bewildered.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the green-robed man unblinkingly with a lost gaze and confusion.
Beiming Xue would not believe it if anyone told her that the green-robed man was not a cultivator.
However, if he was, he did not possess the aura of one at all. His face was withered and yellowed, looking extremely sickly.
Anyone who saw him would merely take him as a frail scholar.
Beiming Xue had asked Su Zimo before.
The latter did not elaborate and merely mentioned casually that he was injured.
For the past year, Beiming Xue’s condition had been improving.
However, Su Zimo’s situation had not changed for the better and Beiming Xue was worried as well.
Although she had only known Su Zimo for more than a year, Beiming Xue had already developed an inexplicable trust and dependence on him.
She was afraid that Su Zimo would leave her one day.
“Mr. Su, your injuries…”
Beiming Xue asked carefully with a concerned expression.
“It’s fine,”
Su Zimo shook his head.
Right then, he frowned and his gaze crossed the courtyard, as though it passed through the voids and landed outside Beiming Town.
“Here comes trouble for you,”
Su Zimo said indifferently.
“Ah?
Beiming Xue was still oblivious.
Even with his Essence Spirit locked, Su Zimo’s hearing and vision were still present and he saw the situation outside Beiming Town right away.
Before long, Beiming Xue’s expression changed when she heard the commotion as well. With a dark expression, she turned around and looked at the entrance.
A menacing demon beast was the first to appear at the entrance.
It was a Golden Core realm Emerald Blood Leopard, an ancient remnant beast. It was jade-green due to a variation in its bloodline. Extremely fast and agile, it hunted and killed living beings with extreme ferocity!
Riding on the Emerald Blood Leopard was an extraordinarily handsome cultivator at the Golden Core realm.
Nangong Yu!
Compared to Dongfang Xuan, Nangong Yu was more scheming.
A few years ago, in order to find out more about the secrets of the Beiming aristocratic family, he approached Beiming Xue continuously.
Although Nangong Yu was only from a collateral lineage of the Nangong aristocratic family, his status was much higher than Beiming Xue’s.
Therefore, the fact that he was willing to lower his status and court Beiming Xue was something that brought about the admiration of many Beiming clansmen—even Beiming Ao was in awe of him.
If Beiming Xue could become Dao companions with Nangong Yu, at the very least, she would be able to get out of the situation of being bullied by the other aristocratic families.
Unfortunately, Nangong Yu finally revealed his true colors after the conflict between Beiming Xue and Dongfang Zhi!
He no longer dared to get too close to Beiming Xue, for fear of offending Dongfang Zhi.
Dongfang Zhi was a direct descendant of the Dongfang aristocratic family bloodline and her status was far above his!
Furthermore, Beiming Xue’s Golden Core was shattered and she was reduced to a cripple.
No matter how beautiful she was, she would not live for more than a hundred years. Beauty would soon fade. While Nangong Yu would still be charming and handsome after dozens of years, Beiming Xue would already be withered and old.
That was the reason why Nangong Yu laid his cards on the table with Beiming Xue a year ago.
Although the Beiming aristocratic family had declined, Beiming Xue was still extremely proud in the depths of her heart and did not give him a good attitude.
“Xue’er, I’m here to see you,”
Riding on the back of the Emerald Blood Leopard, Nangong Yu looked down at Beiming Xue with a faint smile.
One did not possess any spirit qi to begin with when they cultivated the Martial Dao.
Therefore, Nangong Yu could not tell Beiming Xue’s cultivation realm either.
Furthermore, Beiming Xue had cultivated to the Sixth Transformation of the Martial Dao. Her blood qi was converged and formed a Golden Core that lay dormant within her body.
Without activation, her terrifying blood qi would not be revealed!
