Chapter 496
After they learned the news that Xiao Jinting had come back, Chen Lifeng, Xu Lingfeng, and Li Yi gathered at Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
There were almost ten Nascent Souls in the sect.
The several sects near Green Cloud Immortal Sect were alarmed.
Xu Lingfeng looked Xiao Jinting up and down with interest. “Jinting, you finally come back.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, Father.”
Xu Lingfeng said with disdain, “You’ve been away for such a long time, but you don’t seem to make any advancement. Your cultivation level is the same, so is your face.”
Xiao Jinting glanced at him and retorted with a sharp tongue, “Father, you are the same. No, your cultivation seems to be going backward. You look paler.”
Xiao Xiaojin swallowed hard and looked at them helplessly.
Xu Lingfeng said, “You are a trouble maker. You offended Ice Palace, and Dongcheng Yang was freaked out. He went to me for help. After you left, he has been under great pressure. Jinting, you have screwed him up.”
The old bitch of Ice Palace didn’t dare to offend the Xu and Li families, so she went to threaten Dongcheng Yang, who had a hard time during these years.
Xiao Jinting was speechless. Since Dongcheng Yang chose him to be the First Elder of the sect, he had to pay for that.
He said, “The pressure pushes him forward. Dongcheng Yang is losing his edge these years. Ice Palace might have inspired him to be a strong sect head.”
Xu Lingfeng said, “Shall Dongcheng Yang thank you for that?”
Xiao Jinting said cheekily, “Well, he doesn’t have to do that. I just did him a small favor.”
Xiao Xiaodong chuckled and said, “Father, Grandfather, stop it. Let’s talk about the secret realm formed by fragments of the Immortal World.”
Xiao Jinting asked, “When will it open?”
Xiao Xiaodong replied, “In around a year. The great sects worked together and integrated the information of the secret realm. Anyone who wants to enter the secret realm has to spend a lot on a jade map.”
Xiao Jinting asked, “How much is it?”
Xiao Xiaodong said, “Thirty highest-grade spiritual stones.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s expensive.” Normally, he just needed to buy one map for the whole family. According to the rules set by the great sects, each of them had to pay for the map.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes. But there are countless treasures in the secret realm, and it’s worthwhile.”

Dongcheng Yang paced up and down in the room. “I didn’t expect Jinting to come back so soon.”
Back then, Xiao Jinting took his family to the other end of the teleportation array and stayed overseas for decades. Therefore, Dongcheng Yang thought Xiao Jinting would stay abroad for decades again. To his surprise, Xiao Jinting came back less than ten years later.
Dongcheng Yang took a deep breath. Xiao Jinting had killed Bing Cheng, and now he came back to the sect openly. Would Bing Wu come to ask for trouble again?
He scratched his head, feeling anxious.
The sect had expanded with the influence of Xiao Jinting, but he had gotten the sect in trouble many times.
Lin Xue’e tried to ease his anxiety. “Mr. Dongcheng, since he dares to come back, he must have a way of dealing with Ice Palace. You know how he is. He wouldn’t have come back if he hadn’t the confidence.”
Dongcheng Yang said, “I’m afraid that we will get involved.”
Xiao Jinting knew nothing about Dongcheng Yang’s anxiety, and he wouldn’t help the latter even if he knew about it.
Xiao Jinting couldn’t stay in one place for long. After staying in Green Cloud Immortal Sect for two months, he left before the secret realm opened and traveled around. Xu Muan didn’t go back to the Xu and Li families. He followed Xiao Jinting everywhere.
One day, Xiao Jinting stopped on an island at sea. Xu Muan asked, “What’s special about here?”
“There’s nothing special, but you will see…”
Xu Muan was speechless.
Suddenly, Bing Wu showed up and looked at Xiao Jinting. “Xiao Jinting, you finally show up. I thought you are going to hide like a coward for the rest of your life.”
Xiao Jinting said, “Senior, you’ve flattered me. I like the hustle and bustle of the world. Ten years is the most I can hide. I can’t hide for a lifetime.”
Bing Wu hissed, “You are glib. You killed Bing Cheng for no reason. I’ll avenge his death today.”
Xiao Jinting smiled indifferently and said, “Senior, we both know how Bing Cheng died. You don’t have to make high-sounding excuses. I have many treasures. If you want them, you have to fight for them.”
Xiao Jinting looked at Bing Wu aggressively. She used to overwhelm him with her power, but he was not afraid of her anymore.
