84: Xiao Yunting meets Xiao Chonglou

Chapter 84: Xiao Yunting and Xiao Chonglou Meet

Ice City.

This is another city located in the Icefire Sea, similar to Flame City, both backed by the Icefire Sea.

It’s just that this side is backed by the other half of the Icefire Sea, the Ice Sea!

And near the Ice Sea, there is a major power called the Ice Snow Sect!

Because Ice City is close to the Ice Sea, the temperature is low all year round, and for much of the year, it is covered in white snow.

Inside an inn.

Xiao Yunting sat at a corner table, his face full of fatigue.

Ever since the Holy Land Competition, he had been training outside, improving his strength, only wishing that one day he could surpass Fang Chen and step on him.

Although he and Fang Chen had not yet met, he felt that in the depths of his being, he was simply at odds with this Fang Chen.

After such a long period of training, Xiao Yunting’s strength had greatly improved; he had now entered the Divine Origin Realm, Eighth Heaven of the Fifth Realm!

The speed of his cultivation improvement was unimaginable.

Even Old Ming was shocked.

The speed of this cultivation improvement was too fast; even those peerless Prodigies hadn't achieved such speed.

Of course, Xiao Yunting was able to improve so quickly also because of countless life-and-death trials and numerous Opportunities that allowed him to grow to this point.

This greatly shocked Old Ming; putting aside everything else, his Disciple’s Luck was truly good, always gaining great rewards no matter where he went.

It was just a bit hard, a bit dangerous!

However, he was able to turn danger into safety every time.

“It’s that Fang Chen again!”

Xiao Yunting heard the discussions of the people around him, and his tired body immediately tensed.

During this time, no matter where he went, he could hear people discussing Fang Chen.

This guy was truly a persistent ghost!

No matter what he did, as long as he came to a populated place, he would inevitably hear people discussing Fang Chen.

This caused waves in Xiao Yunting’s heart, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

How could this guy be everywhere? What on earth was he relying on!

Xiao Yunting felt extremely uncomfortable and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

“Have you heard?”

“The Old Ancestor of the Flame Sect was killed. I heard that the one who killed him was a young man at the Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven.”

“I’ve already heard. It’s said that the young man at the Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven, is the Saint of Cloud Heaven Holy Land!”

“Is that true? Did the Cloud Heaven Holy Son also go to the Icefire Sea?”

“It should be correct. There aren't many Prodigies at the Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven, who can kill the Half-Step Sage Realm Huoyang Old Ancestor.”

“Moreover, that young man acted with ease, suppressing and killing Huoyang Old Ancestor in just a few moves!”

“A Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven, easily killing a Half-Step Sage Realm Saint Realm Expert is too outrageous!”

“Otherwise, why would the other party be called a Genius Prodigy? Since he’s called a Prodigy, how can he be viewed with the eyes of a normal person?”

“Haha, I think those so-called Prodigies can’t understand this either.”

“That’s true. So, we’re all pretty much the same, aren’t we? We’re just like those Prodigies.”

“That doesn’t seem wrong, hahaha…”

A group of Cultivators chatted there.

Fang Chen was also here at the Icefire Sea?

And he also killed a Half-Step Sage Realm Saint Realm Expert?

Xiao Yunting’s expression froze, his mood extremely complex, shocked and filled with despair at the same time.

“It’s hard for me to kill an Emperor Realm Cultivator now, yet he can already suppress and kill a Half-Step Sage Realm Saint Realm Expert?”

“If another few decades pass, wouldn’t he even be able to kill a Saint Realm Expert?”

Xiao Yunting couldn't help but think.

“If Fang Chen doesn’t encounter any accidents, theoretically, it’s possible.”

“This Cloud Heaven Holy Son is indeed the number one Prodigy of Cloud Heaven Holy Land in tens of thousands of years.”

“At this age, even those young Great Emperors might not be able to achieve it!”

Old Ming, who was well-informed, spoke.

He was still extremely shocked by Fang Chen’s level of Prodigy.

He had never seen or heard of such a Genius Prodigy.

A Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven, killing a Half-Step Sage Realm Saint Realm Expert, and doing so with ease!

What kind of Prodigy was this?

“Revered Master, do you think I can still surpass this Fang Chen?”

Xiao Yunting said with a wave of despair in his heart.

When Fang Chen was at the Emperor Realm, he was still extremely confident, believing that one day he would be able to surpass Fang Chen.

But now, news of Fang Chen was constant, and he had already reached the Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven.

Moreover, at the Return to Ruins Realm, Third Heaven, he could suppress and kill a Half-Step Sage Realm Saint Realm Expert.

Thinking of this, his heart grew increasingly powerless, because the gap between him and Fang Chen was getting wider and wider, and he could no longer see any hope of catching up to Fang Chen.

At the same time, just as Xiao Yunting was in utter despair, an elegant middle-aged man sat opposite him. This middle-aged man bore some resemblance to Xiao Yunting.

“You really want to surpass Fang Chen?”

The middle-aged man spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunting immediately became alert, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him and coldly saying, “Who are you?”

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Chonglou, and I am your father.”

The elegant middle-aged man said with a smile.

Boom!

Xiao Yunting stood up directly, releasing his Aura, and the table in front of him instantly shattered.

Immediately, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed at Xiao Chonglou with it.

But the next moment, Xiao Chonglou extended two fingers and directly clamped the long sword.

Bang!

The indestructible divine sword broke into several pieces.

“You have quite a temper!”

The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunting’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his body instinctively took a step back. This was a habit he had developed over many years of life-and-death training.

However, the surroundings seemed to be sealed by a special barrier, preventing Xiao Yunting from retreating further or moving forward.

“Don’t waste your Qi. You can’t break it. No matter how capable you are, you can’t leave here.”

Xiao Chonglou said calmly.

“What do you want to do?”

Xiao Yunting took a deep breath, quickly calming himself down, his eyes fixed on Xiao Chonglou.

“Don’t think of everyone as so bad!”

“After all, I am your father. After many years apart, I just want to talk to you, perhaps I can give you some help…”

Before Xiao Chonglou could finish speaking, Xiao Yunting directly interrupted: “I don’t have a father. My father died more than twenty years ago!”

“He died when he abandoned me and my mother!”

Xiao Yunting’s face was cold, his eyes filled with resentment.

He had never seen Xiao Chonglou, because when his mother was pregnant with him, Xiao Chonglou had already abandoned them.

Because he had no father, Xiao Yunting’s childhood was extremely miserable; he was often bullied and called a bastard.

Over time, Xiao Yunting grew to hate the father he had never met.

“You got one thing wrong. Your mother was never my wife, and I, Xiao Chonglou, have never had a wife.”

“Your mother and I were just mutually willing, just a one-night stand. I didn’t even know she was pregnant with you!”

Xiao Chonglou frowned; he strongly disliked Xiao Yunting saying he abandoned his wife and child.
