Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

On hearing the familiar voice, Jin Dabao, who was about to fly away, immediately turned around. Then, he saw that the person who came was indeed Xiao Chen.

He placed the coffin lid on his shoulder and said gleefully, “Brother Xiao, oh, Brother Xiao…this Fat Lord really got sabotaged by you. Now, I have to resort to banditry for a living. I live a life that is no better than death. My waist even slimmed down.”

A life that is no better than death? If the people you robbed heard this, they might die of frustration.

As for that waist, Xiao Chen simply could not see any difference. However, he still felt guilty and could not get angry with the fatty. He smiled and said, “I was wrong in this. Come, follow me to my peak. I will entertain you properly as the host.”

“Hurry! This Fat Lord has been staying in the mountain forest for the past month. I don’t know how many mosquitoes have fed on me. Come, come, let’s go.” Jin Dabao was not polite at all, quickly urging Xiao Chen to leave.

“Your name is not very useful. This Fat Lord said that I was your old friend, but no one cared for me. Only after many difficulties did I get a female disciple to come to meet me. But after a few words from this Fat Lord, she blasted me out,” Jin Dabao said begrudgingly, appearing very displeased as he carried the coffin lid.

Xiao Chen looked at Jin Dabao’s getup. The fatty looked very gaudy, all covered in treasures. Furthermore, he was carrying a coffin lid. It would be strange if anyone believed what Jin Dabao said.

However, Xiao Chen was very curious. Who was it that received this fellow? Given this fatty’s looks, it was hard to imagine that there would be a female disciple willing to do so.

“What did you say to get blasted out?”

Feeling very wronged, Jin Dabao replied, “This Fat Lord is a righteous person with a heart as clear as the bright moon. What could I have said? That person introduced herself as Shui Lingling. I casually followed up with ‘Your figure is indeed flowy like water. Your skin is fair, and your flesh so tender that it looks like water would come out with just one squeeze.’

[TL Note: Shui Lingling’s name means tinkling water.]

“Tell me, is this Fat Lord wronged or not? Before I could finish, she sent me flying with a palm strike. The faces of those male disciples in the hall looked very frightening; just thinking about it terrifies me.”

Xiao Chen was speechless. Black lines appeared on his face. Having established her reputation and might in the Supreme Sky Sect for more than ten years, Shui Lingling boasted an existence akin to a legendary character, like a fairy.

For the fatty to come out alive after saying that could be described as a miracle.

“Why are you remaining silent? Isn’t this Fat Lord not wronged enough?”

What can I say? It is already very good that you walked out alive.

Xiao Chen replied helplessly, “Wronged, very wronged.”

On the way down, the fatty kept complaining bitterly. He strung many things together, blaming them on Xiao Chen for tricking him. After he came to the Kunlun Realm, he lived a life worse than death, carrying all sort of burdens. Everyone he robbed was poor.

Xiao Chen suddenly said, “How about I send you back now?”

The fatty fanned himself and smiled embarrassedly. “This… We can speak about that later. That… Well, thinking about it, some hardship is nothing much. At least this Fat Lord managed to lose some weight.”

As expected. Xiao Chen smiled to himself. He knew that this was how Jin Dabao was like.

The two chatted as they walked. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Chen frowned. He stopped as the atmosphere felt somewhat off.

Jin Dabao noticed it as well. He slowly put down the coffin lid on his shoulder, looking around cautiously.

“You damn fatty! We finally found you. Let’s see where you can run to this time.”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Some people leaped out from the surroundings and encircled Xiao Chen and Jin Dabao, radiating strong auras. The golden identity medallions at their waists showed that they were true inheritors.

The weakest of them was an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. The leader was even more incredible, already a peak Medial Grade Martial Sage.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. The person speaking was actually an old acquaintance.

This was a lower-realm genius that had repeatedly mocked Xiao Chen when they had both just entered the Supreme Sky Sect—Gui Wu.

He had become a true inheritor as well in the few years since Xiao Chen had last seen him. Gui Wu’s cultivation had also reached Medial Grade Martial Sage. With this rate of advancement, he could barely be considered a third-rate genius in respect to the entire Kunlun Realm.

“I have already captured this person. Junior Brothers, please return,” Xiao Chen said casually. Now, given his strength and status, he did not have to care about Gui Wu at all.

Clearly, Gui Wu had not expected to run into Xiao Chen here. His body trembled imperceptibly for a moment.

However, he thought of something and drummed up some courage. He said, “Senior Brother Xiao, we are just following orders. This is someone that the Elders’ Assembly ordered captured. Furthermore, they handed the mission to us directly. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Xiao Chen’s face sank. He already showed Gui Wu a lot of face, but Gui Wu still did not display any tact.

Gui Wu was paying very close attention to Xiao Chen’s expression. When he saw Xiao Chen’s face sink, his heart thumped for no apparent reason, as if it would jump out of his chest at any moment.

The White Robed Bladesman, whose cultivation had been weaker than his a few years ago, had actually grown to such a level.

Xiao Chen said in a cold voice, “I stick to what I said. I will not repeat myself. Junior Brother Gui, please move aside.”

When the fatty saw this, he felt a warmth in his heart. The anger he felt decreased significantly.

Xiao Chen’s words gave Gui Wu enormous pressure. However, when he thought of a certain person’s promise, he steeled himself and said while stepping forward, “Xiao Chen, don’t think that you are so incredible, able to control everything in the Supreme Sky Sect.

“I’ll tell you the truth: this was an order from the ancient race genius Ren Kongjue. Ren Kongjue is a genius that equals Di Wuque. Today, even if you do not want to hand over this person, you have to. Otherwise, if you offend Young Master Ren, you can forget about holding your King conferring ceremony.”

Ren Kongjue… Xiao Chen had never heard this name before, but he guessed that Ren Kongjue was similar to Lan Shaobai, an ancient race genius that had just come into prominence in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake.

However, even if Di Wuque stood before Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen would not bother about him, not to mention someone who was only on par with Di Wuque.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Junior Brother Gui, after not seeing me for several years, you’ve actually forgotten about this Xiao’s temper. Back then, the peak inner sect disciples all worked together to try and suppress me, but did you see me lower my head?

“Today, you dug out an ancient race genius to try and make me lower my head. You are really getting more and more naive.”

Before waiting for Gui Wu to reply, Xiao Chen threw a palm strike. A thousand purple, electric light rings appeared behind Xiao Chen. With one casual palm strike, he brought out the boundless might of lightning.

The sky rumbled, filled with thunder. Without even moving his feet, Xiao Chen sent out a palm wind that easily knocked Gui Wu one kilometer away.

“This palm strike is a lesson for you. If Ren Kongjue wants him, then get Ren Kongjue to come to me himself.”

Xiao Chen led Jin Dabao away.

To avoid running into any other trouble along the way, Xiao Chen unfurled the Freedom Wings, expended Magic Energy to execute So Close Yet Worlds Apart, and carried Jin Dabao away with one step.

When the two landed, they were right outside Supreme Sky City, at the peak that the Supreme Sky Sect gave to him, which had a Peak Spirit Vein suppressed under it.

As a reward for getting the first slot to the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring on behalf of the Supreme Sky Sect, the sect had given Xiao Chen such an independent peak.

Naturally, the biggest benefit was the Peak Spirit Vein under the peak. However, now that Xiao Chen had close to fifty Peak Spirit Veins, he did not care about it.

When the fatty saw Xiao Chen being so tyrannical before a true inheritor, moving fifty kilometers in one step, he felt like sighing.

Upon hearing some commotion on the empty peak, Lord Jiu immediately rushed out.

Jin Dabao shook his head involuntarily and said, “Xiao Chen, the servant you hired is no good. He has shifty eyes. This Fat Lord’s discerning eyes can tell that he is not a good person.”

When Lord Jiu heard this, he immediately became angry. “Where did this fatty come from? How is this Lord Jiu not like a good person?”

Jin Dabao plopped his butt down on a stool and picked up a teacup on the table. He took his time drinking before saying, “Stop pretending in front of this Fat Lord. When this Fat Lord did notorious deeds, you were still in your mother’s womb. With one look at your eyes, this Fat Lord can tell what you want to do. Hehe, aren’t you currently thinking of leaping over and kicking this Fat Lord?”

This question stunned Lord Jiu. This fatty was actually right. He did want to kick him to teach him a lesson.

Fellows of the same trade recognizing each other?

Xiao Chen could not help smiling bitterly. Then, after he gave them some advice, they both calmed down.

He waited until the fatty had had a short rest, then asked, “Dabao, you still have the huge business of the Jin Clan to run. Why did you think of coming to the Kunlun Realm? How did you come?”

At this point, the fatty no longer had the urge to continue fooling around. He replied, “The Jin Clan’s development reached its peak in the Sky Dome Realm already. So Dabao can only try to expand to higher places. Being unrivaled is truly lonely.

“As for how I arrived here, money can work wonders. Back then, the Wan Clan could pay a huge price to send Wan Feng up. Naturally, I have my methods too.

“However, I did not look for you because of the Astral Coin matter. This Fat Lord is not that petty. It is just a trifle. I will not harp on it.”

Now, Xiao Chen felt curious. He looked at Jin Dabao and asked, “What matter could there be?”

Jin Dabao took out a long and slender treasured saber from his spatial ring. Then he gently placed it on the table.

Xiao Chen’s expression immediately changed. He stared at Jin Dabao and demanded, “Where did you get this saber from?”

“Don’t get too agitated. I know this is your Lunar Shadow Saber.

“About three months ago, boundless thunderclouds appeared above Thunder Emperor Valley. It attracted all the experts of the Sky Dome Realm. They thought that a new immortal will of thunder was being born. Who would have imagined that this saber would fly out?

“Back then, Ying Yue made a move and blocked the others, grabbing the saber. She handed it to me and told me to give it to you when I go to the Kunlun Realm. There seems to be something wrong with this saber.”

After handing the saber to Xiao Chen, Jin Dabao continued, “As for what is wrong, you will know immediately after seeing it.”

Xiao Chen received the Lunar Shadow Saber and grabbed its hilt. He tried to draw it gently but failed.

Surprise appeared in his eyes as he increased his strength, continuing to try to draw it. Even after using five thousand tons of force, he still could not pull out the Lunar Shadow Saber.

“This saber is really dead…”

After a long time, Xiao Chen gave up on the attempt. Outright pity appeared on his face.

“It’s not that serious. If it were really dead, why would I bring it here for you to take a look? I showed it to Su Xiaoxiao. This aspect is the forte of their clan. This saber was originally already dead, but it gained some life.”

Jin Dabao’s words were astonishing, speaking of a result that Xiao Chen did not expect.

The Heavenly Craft Manor belonged to Su Xiaoxiao’s clan, which was responsible for creating all sorts of Spirit Weapons in the Sky Dome Realm. The Soul Slayer Bow belonging to Xiao Chen was also the work of a distinguished senior of the Heavenly Craft Manor.

If Su Xiaoxiao had come to such a conclusion, it was more than likely correct.
