At this thought, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul retracted its gaze and released its perception to cover the entire imperial palace.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s special auras were clearly within its perception range.

“What are these two doing back at Chengtian Palace?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul thought to itself.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er must have an important reason for returning to the capital.

Are they spying on the Chengtian Palace to get the treasure that triggered the defensive barrier in the secret underground chamber?

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er had missed this treasure when they came previously.

They only realized that it wasn’t taken away when it was activated.

There was no mistaking it. These two people had returned after obtaining the stone slab and the Heavenly Star Disk. Their target was definitely the treasure that triggered the defensive barrier.

The problem was that the barrier covered the entire Chengtian Palace. How could Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er enter?

If they couldn’t even enter, taking away the treasure was impossible.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was not in a hurry. The Heavenly Star Disk was now in Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s hands. Considering that this was the imperial palace, it was not suitable to make a move.

Even if he did, he might not be a match for Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er.

Therefore, just in case, Su Jingxing’s main body quickly returned to Green Cloud Mountain and called for Sha Lou to rush to the capital to reinforce him.

Sha Lou was also in the Transcendent-grade.

Together with Su Jingxing’s main body and Essence Soul, they added up to three combat forces.

His main body was in the third class of the Essence Opening realm, comparable to the Primordial Spirit realm.

It was definitely enough to deal with Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er.

All he had to do now was wait patiently.

No matter how Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er entered the Chengtian Palace, they would not stay in the imperial palace for long.

All Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul had to do was follow behind them and leave the capital before making a move.

With this wait.

Even when Sha Lou traversed space and rushed all the way from Green Cloud Mountain to the capital, Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er had not left the roof of the hall behind Chengtian Palace.

They seemed to be waiting too?

Su Jingxing’s perception continued to cover the imperial palace. The Essence Soul met with Sha Lou and asked him to hide in a corner of the palace and wait for the situation to develop.

His main body was also prepared in the Void World.

…

The night grew darker.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er stayed at the top of the hall behind the Chengtian Palace. There was no movement.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, main body, and Sha Lou also continued to wait.

The Essence Soul did not move. In the Void World, the main body constantly washed its body with spiritual essence.

The night passed quickly.

As the sky brightened, Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er left the imperial palace and headed towards the suburbs.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul called for Sha Lou and quickly followed behind.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er left the capital first, then entered the wilderness, the forest, running all the way.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped on a mountain peak. Their ethereal voices resounded through the mountain peak.

“The Martial Sage has been following us the entire way. Can you come out and meet us?”

Found out?

When was I discovered?

Did they know from the beginning last night, or did they only realize it halfway?

Recalling the entire process, Su Jingxing was certain that he did not expose himself or his aura.

Which means Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er had discovered him from the very beginning.

However, the two of them did not expose him and stayed in the imperial palace with Su Jingxing for a night.

At this thought, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul stepped out and revealed itself.

Sha Lou continued to hide.

The Winged Ones’ methods of concealing their aura and aura were even more outstanding.

If Su Jingxing wasn’t related to him by a soul oath, he wouldn’t have discovered him at all.

“Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er?”

Under the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul changed its voice from more than ten meters away and asked, “Have you been staying in the capital for the past few days?”

“That’s right.”

Nian Shuang was expressionless. Nian Ling’er replied animatedly, “You are the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, Kong Xuan?”

“Didn’t you already call out earlier?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul said calmly, “On the other hand, you guys stole the Heavenly Star Disk and killed Xiang Qingtian. You actually still have the guts to stay in the Yu Nation.”

“We didn’t kill Xiang Qingtian.”

Nian Ling’er pouted and said unhappily, “Sister and I only severely injured him. We didn’t kill him.”

“Is there a difference?” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul chuckled. “What’s the difference between giving him serious injuries that can’t be healed and killing him directly?”

“I…” Nian Ling’er was speechless.

That’s right, there was no difference between the two.

It was just dying quickly and slowly.

“Isn’t it better that Xiang Qingtian is dead?”

Nian Ling’er had nothing to say. Nian Shuang suddenly spoke up, “After the Yu Nation annexed the New Chu Nation, Martial Sage Kong must have benefited a lot, right?”

“So, I have to thank you guys for killing Xiang Qingtian?” asked Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

“Well, no need for that too, haha.” Nian Ling’er grinned.

“…Shut up!” Nian Shuang chided irritably.

“I didn’t say anything wrong.” Nian Ling’er was indignant. “Xiang Qingtian’s death was an accident to begin with.”

Nian Shuangxing shouted word by word, “Nian! Ling! Er!”

“Alright, alright.” Nian Ling’er stopped talking back and raised her hand. “I’ll stop talking about Xiang Qingtian, alright?”

With that, she smiled at Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul and blinked. “Martial Sage Kong, are you a spiritual martial artist?”

Without waiting for Su Jingxing to speak, she continued, “I’ve seen you in the Void World before! At that time, you were wearing a golden-red glow and entered the dark area of the Void World. Don’t deny it!”

“What about you guys?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul counterattacked calmly. “What are you? Humans? Or devils?”

Nian Shuang’s expression changed and became even colder.

The smile on Nian Ling’er’s face froze. She opened her mouth but did not know how to answer.

The atmosphere became tense.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul and the two of them were wary of each other. Sha Lou was waiting for an opportunity not far away.

“That’s right. We’re not humans.”

Suddenly, Nian Ling’er gritted her teeth and said, “But our mother is a legitimate human and a princess of the human’s Snow Nation! She…”

“Shut up!”

Nian Shuang berated and stopped Nian Ling’er from exposing themselves.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was indeed a little stunned.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s mother is human?

A princess of the Snow Nation?

Putting this together with Yu Xiangtian’s account, and moving over to their ages, this princess was most likely from more than a hundred years ago.

Even so, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was still greatly shaken.

Their father is a fox devil, and their mother is a human.

So, Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er are half-humans and half-devils?

No wonder Yu Xiangtian’s Master had brought him to see Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and the others when he was young.

Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er were also considered a part of the Snow Nation!

With this in mind, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not probe further. Instead, it changed the topic and asked, “What’s the background of the Heavenly Star Disk that you guys stole? What’s its use?”

“Huh? Oh, oh.”

Nian Ling’er was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. She hurriedly replied, “The Heavenly Star Disk can activate the star array formation and carry out cross-border teleportation. Of course, it can also be said to be a planet teleportation. However, to complete the opening of the star array formation, we still need the help of the star platform. Moreover, at least three pieces are required to carry out teleportation between worlds.

“We suspect that there’s one more Heavenly Star Disk under the palace!”
