Chapter 378: Chapter 378

"If you need help, feel free to contact me."

Jiang Baiyu directly took out a personal Message Jade Talisman, her meaning obvious.

She had high hopes for Wen Zhixing.

This was essentially an investment she was making in Wen Zhixing.

Forming a good connection, after all, wouldn’t hurt.

"Thank you, Jiang," Wen Zhixing said as he reached out to accept it. Without further courtesy, he waved his hand, and a breeze stirred under his feet, whisking him away swiftly.

Good. It had only been a few days since he had let Qin Tian off the hook, refraining from continuing the curse, and now this had happened.

Initially, Wen Zhixing cursed Qin Tian daily with the Unfounded Curse.

However, each time the curse took effect, it would be transferred to another person.

Previously, it wasn’t too bad, as it usually transferred to those of lower realms, and at first, the backlash Wen Zhixing experienced was minimal.

But afterwards, the other party became wise, or perhaps, realizing the limited potency of the Unfounded Curse, they started transferring it to those of higher realms.

The worst time, Wen Zhixing nearly died from the backlash. After several such days, Wen Zhixing gave up on continuing to curse Qin Tian.

He had no choice—it was simply too dangerous. Even Wen Zhixing did not dare to keep trying.

Anger blazed in Wen Zhixing’s eyes. Never before had his heart been so stirred.

This time, Ning Xiaoyu was the victim.

What about next time? He could overlook Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli, but what if Bai Luqiu or Liu Qingdai also encountered danger? He had to kill Qin Tian. Otherwise, there was no telling what the man might do next.

Wen Zhixing hurried back to his mansion as fast as he could.

In this moment, he needed to remain calm. He had to carefully consider the best course of action moving forward.

"Mr. Wen, you’ve returned!" As soon as he entered the cave dwelling, Lianxin promptly greeted him, her eyes twinkling with joy.

Wen Zhixing had been gone for so long, and her heart had been in suspense, feeling empty for quite some time. It was only now that she finally felt at peace.

Wen Zhixing was about to speak when his expression suddenly turned stern.

Inside the house, there was the presence of someone else.

"Who?" Wen Zhixing turned his head and called out lowly.

Already on edge, his mood flared upon detecting another’s presence. For a moment, he even suspected that Lianxin, standing before him, had betrayed him.

"Wen Zhixing, it’s me."

Fortunately, a pleasant female voice, as clear as a mountain spring, sounded at the right moment.

Hearing this voice, Wen Zhixing’s tense expression slowly relaxed. He was very familiar with this voice. It was Qinglian Fairy.

A stunning figure then appeared before him.

"So it’s Qinglian Fairy." Wen Zhixing looked up at the uninvited guest.

Today, Qinglian Fairy was dressed even more exquisitely than before. Her light purple gown, embroidered with intricate patterns and tied at the waist with a matching silk ribbon, perfectly accentuated her slender figure. Her hair was neatly coiffed, secured with a white jade pin, yet a few strands fell casually onto her fair neck, revealing a hint of unruliness. Her face expressed a subtle elegance, her lips were slightly pursed, and her moist eyes softly shimmered. Previously, she had always shown a strong disdain for men, but today, she seemed different. Her eyes were vivid, seemingly able to speak, as they smiled brightly while staring at Wen Zhixing.

"Wen Zhixing, you’ve certainly kept me waiting," Qinglian Fairy said as she stepped forward, her gaze sizing him up.

She truly had been waiting for Wen Zhixing for several days. Ever since that day, the memory of Wen Zhixing’s heated body would appear in her dreams. Her body would become particularly restless deep in the night. Despite her restraint, Qinglian Fairy could not suppress the longing within her and had to actively seek out Wen Zhixing.

"I was unaware of the Fairy’s distinguished visit; please forgive me," Wen Zhixing said, taking a deep breath and forcing a smile.

He actually didn’t want to talk to Qinglian Fairy at all right now. However, since she had come to him, he could only deal with it temporarily. The more trouble arises, the more one must remain calm.

"What happened?" Qinglian Fairy, however, furrowed her brows slightly, sensing that something was off about Wen Zhixing.

"Nothing." Wen Zhixing was startled and shook his head. This Qinglian Fairy has such sharp perception.

Qinglian Fairy took a serious look at Wen Zhixing, then let out a sneer. "You lack both backing and strength. What, if something goes wrong, do you plan to tough it out alone?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhixing fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, he currently had neither backing nor strength. Although he had caught Elder Nangong’s attention, he hadn’t formally become his disciple yet. They had only met once, and there was no deep master-disciple affection between them. Now, even if he sought help from Elder Nangong, there was no guarantee of assistance. The Purple Cloud Divine Sect was a top-tier sect. At most, Elder Nangong would protect him. As for others encountering trouble, he would certainly not intervene. Among adults, most things were a matter of interests.

"Sir Wen, I will go make some tea for you," Lianxin said, noticing that the two had important matters to discuss, and with good sense, she headed out of the cave dwelling.

"What, are you afraid I’ll harm you?" Qinglian Fairy asked, showing displeasure. "What good would harming you do me? If anything happened to you, Fenghua would be unhappy."

"Do you know where Fairy Murong has been recently?" Wen Zhixing’s mind stirred.

Indeed, it had been a long time since he last saw Murong Fenghua. He actually trusted Murong Fenghua more. After all, half of her primordial spirit belonged to him.

Qinglian Fairy’s expression shifted subtly. "Nothing major," she said, seemingly casually. "Just some matters to deal with."

"Oh." Wen Zhixing nodded without further questioning and eventually said, "Fairy, I want to leave the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land for a trip."

With his status, he couldn’t leave the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land at will. Actually, this wasn’t a restriction of freedom but a protective measure. Before possessing sufficient strength, the safest place was, in fact, inside the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land.

"Leave the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land?" Qinglian Fairy immediately looked surprised.

The day for the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land to accept disciples was fast approaching, yet Wen Zhixing was planning to leave at such a critical moment. Could it be that something truly had happened? Yet, with her network of connections, she hadn’t received any news.

"Are you aware of the situation in Zhongzhou?" Qinglian Fairy asked, gliding closer with light steps.

"The situation in Zhongzhou?" Wen Zhixing was puzzled. What did she mean by that? Zhongzhou was so powerful, what could possibly be amiss there?

"Do you know that every hundred years, black fog from the Chaotic Sea Area invades the various continents?" Qinglian Fairy slowly began to explain. "It has been exactly one hundred years since the last black fog invasion. Zhongzhou, I’m afraid, is about to descend into chaos."

The Chaotic Sea, black fog... Wen Zhixing suddenly remembered. Tan Yuanshan had spoken to him of something similar before. However, he hadn’t expected the black fog to invade again.

"Don’t think that just because you’ve been to the Demonic Ruins, the demons of the world are nothing to worry about," Qinglian Fairy said, clearly not wanting Wen Zhixing to leave, and thus revealing some hidden information. "The evil spirits within the Demonic Ruins are merely devil beasts cultivated by the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land."

Wen Zhixing furrowed his brows. "I understand. In that case, I don’t have to go out. But, Qinglian Fairy, would you be willing to help me with something?"

Seeing that she didn’t want him to go out, Wen Zhixing was almost certain that Qinglian Fairy had no intention of harming him.

"What do you need help with? Let’s hear it," Qinglian Fairy inquired, raising her brows slightly. She didn’t want Wen Zhixing to venture out and take risks. If he could stay put obediently, she was willing to help with small favors.

Wen Zhixing looked up, their eyes meeting.

"Who?" Qinglian Fairy’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Qin Tian," Wen Zhixing didn’t hide it. "He’s planning to target me, and I want to eliminate him first."

Qinglian Fairy was taken aback. "Qin Tian?"

"Yes, Fairy, I must have your help to kill him," Wen Zhixing nodded earnestly, then added with sincerity, "It would be best if Qin Yang and Li Juncheng could be killed along with him."

And Qin Yang and Li Juncheng... At the mention of these two names, Qinglian Fairy’s expression became extremely solemn.

"Yes, it would be best to kill them all," Wen Zhixing stated, quite unapologetically.
