“Can you elaborate?”

The Essence Soul’s eyes flashed.

“Of course.”

Yu Xiangtian closed his eyes slightly and recalled. “It’s been a long time, almost 150 years ago. I was still young then, only five years old, or four.

“I remember that I followed Master into the icy plains and came to a spacious palace. I saw a few people.

“I can’t remember what the three adults look like now, but the two children are still fresh in my memory.”

“Because their ears were furry fox ears, especially the youngest one. She was about my age and even had a tail behind her!”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul raised its eyebrows.

Fox ears? Fox tail?

Devils?

“That’s right. They’re not humans. Of the two children, the older one was called Nian Shuang, and the younger one, Nian Ling’er!”

Yu Xiangtian smiled bitterly. “However, I was also a little brat at that time. When I saw the fox ears and fox tail, I only found them fun. I didn’t participate in anything else and only played with the two children for most of the day. I even cried when I left the palace.

“After that, I even thought about them every day and begged Master to visit the palace again.

“Unfortunately, Master died during a monster invasion in the Void World. I was adopted by Uncle-Master.

“Master’s death was a blow for me. I forgot about everything else and focused on practicing martial arts.

“As time passed, I forgot about the palace beneath the icy plains and the two little girls with fox ears.

“If Brother Kong hadn’t mentioned it today, I wouldn’t have been able to recall this memory.”

In the Transcendent-grade, the Essence Soul’s memory retrace could almost reach the stage when a person was born.

However, the process of tracing required soul power.

However, if someone were to mention it, it would take very little energy to trace the memory lines.

“Fox ears, fox tails. Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and the three people with them are undoubtedly from another race. They might be the legendary devils!”

Yu Xiangtian pondered for a moment and said, “Legend has it that the devils are ferocious and powerful. They aren’t weaker than the demons. However, they have disappeared since ancient times. We thought that they had gone extinct, but now it seems that they still exist, or even are beside us! Only…”

At this point, Yu Xiangtian paused and said hesitantly, “But, Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and the others don’t seem to have any ill intentions. They seem to be a friendly faction? The devils are a collective name. I don’t know how many species there are within.

“Since Master brought me to see Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and the others when I was young, it means that they don’t have any evil intentions. Master and their elders were probably friends, and they shared a good relationship. Only if they are close will the two sides not have to worry about anything else.

“By the way, Brother Kong, you are looking for Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er because…”

“I want the Heavenly Star Disk back,” said Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul calmly. “I promised Xiang Qingtian that I would help him find it and expose Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s existence.”

“Um…”

Yu Xiangtian paused and said awkwardly, “Brother Kong, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but it’s been too long. At that time, I only remembered entering the icy plains and coming to a hall. I don’t remember the exact location, shape, or space inside.”

“If my Uncle-Master was still alive, he might know where the palace is, but he has been dead for almost 60 years.”

Yu Xiangtian expressed his helplessness.

“It’s fine.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul smiled. “I promised Xiang Qingtian that I would find the Heavenly Star Disk as long as it was within my capabilities. I didn’t make a soul oath. Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er are both devils and have helpers from the same race. With my personal strength, even if I find the palace they are hiding in, I won’t be their match. This is a force majeure, it’s not a breach of contract.”

“Haha, that’s good.”

When Yu Xiangtian heard this, he laughed loudly and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Kong. I’ll keep an eye on the icy plains for you. That place is connected to the Dark North. If you don’t check any of them, Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and the others can escape into the wilderness at any time.”

“Thank you, Brother Yu.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was first grateful. Then, it pondered and said, “If possible, it’s not a bad idea to get Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s contact details. I’m a little interested in the Heavenly Star Disk that they stole. I heard from Xiang Qingtian that it’s related to the stars.”

“Alright, I’ll take note.” Yu Xiangtian did not decline and agreed. “You’re not the only one. After hearing you out, I’m also interested in this Heavenly Star Disk now.”

Xiang Qingtian wanted to use the power of the stars to reconstruct his body. He needed the Heavenly Star Disk.

What was Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er after?

Su Jingxing was puzzled.

Yu Xiangtian was equally curious.

…

After a few more words, the two of them disconnected.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul pondered for a moment before leaving the room.

Instead of returning to Qinghe City, he went straight to Chengtian Palace.

The light barrier that enveloped the Chengtian Palace was still there.

According to Ao Chunqiu, this defensive barrier had suddenly been activated after he took away the Heavenly Star Disk.

Does this mean that the item that produced the barrier is somehow related to the Heavenly Star Disk?

No, it might not be just the Heavenly Star Disk. It might also be the stone slab that Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er took away the first time!

The stone slab, the Heavenly Star Disk, and the item that released the barrier.

These three items are a whole?!

Once two of them were missing, the last one would be triggered.

But if that’s the case, where did the You Family get the three treasures?

Did they know the origins of these three items? Or secrets?

Of course, it could also be a coincidence.

The You Family did not know the origin of the Heavenly Star Disk. The reason why all three items were placed in the secret chamber under the Chengtian Palace was purely a coincidence.

The truth was no longer important now.

After the You Family was destroyed, Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er escaped back to the northernmost icy plains of the Eastern Continent. No one knew where they were…

Hmm?

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was flying in the air and was less than a hundred meters away from the Chengtian Palace. All of a sudden, a glint flashed through its eyes.

There was someone on the roof of a hall behind the Chengtian Palace!

It was already dark. Night had fallen and enveloped the capital.

In the Thunder Dragon’s vision, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul saw two people squatting on the roof of a hall behind Chengtian Palace.

One of them was about 16 or 17 years old. She had an oval face and fair skin. There was some baby fat on both cheeks.

The other was peerlessly beautiful, with a graceful figure and cold eyes.

Both of their auras were outstanding, extraordinary and ethereal!

That’s right, these two people were Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er!

Instead of returning to the northern icy plains, they stayed in the capital and visited the imperial palace again to spy on the Chengtian Palace.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, which had discovered the two of them from afar, immediately landed on the ground and hid itself.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er were devils!

Su Jingxing had seen Nian Ling’er float easily in the dark area of the Void World.

If Nian Ling’er was already so powerful, what level was her older sister, Nian Shuang at?
