Xing Chang Takes the Bait

Song Wen forcibly subdued Xing Xinxin, and after sensing her Sea of Consciousness, he discovered that her soul was not damaged.

"It should just be temporary amnesia caused by the soul search!"

Song Wen thought to himself.

He knocked Xing Xinxin again, tied her up with the Binding Spirit Rope, left two Sacred Beetle Gu Xing Xinxin guard her, and then turned and left the Cave.

Upon arriving in Fangzhu City, Song Wen first returned to his cave abode and emptied everything cave abode.

What he's about to do is quite risky; he needs to be prepared to flee at any moment, as he may never have the chance to return to this cave abode.

Then, Song Wen took out Message Jade Slip and sent a message to Xing Chang.

[Young Master Xing, the woman you fought yesterday is severely injured and trapped in a Cave thousands of miles away.]

Xing Chang's hatred for Xing Xinxin was indeed extremely deep, and he quickly sent a reply to Song Wen.

Where are you right now?

[Eastern suburbs of the southern city.]

[Wait a moment, I will be there immediately.]

In less than fifteen minutes, Xing Chang arrived in a hurry.

"Wei Ding, where did you meet Xing Xinxin?"

Song Wen said, "It's a Cave thousands of miles away. I've been short of money lately, and I originally intended to go there to slay Demon Beast and search for spirit medicine. Unexpectedly, I happened to see Miss Xing entering a Rift Valley alone."

"I waited outside the Rift Valley for a long time, but she didn't come out. So, I went down to the bottom of the Rift Valley and heard loud fighting coming from a Cave."

"After the fighting in the Cave subsided, I lay in ambush Cave for a long time, but when I still didn't see anyone come out, I risked going into the Cave."

"Young Master Xing, guess what I saw inside the Cave?"

The Xing Chang looked displeased and urged, "Speak quickly."

Song Wen continued, "There are many poisonous creatures in that Cave. The one she fought was probably a poison cultivator, whom she has already killed. But Miss Xing seems to have been poisoned by some strange toxin, and her mind has become somewhat impaired."

The Xing Chang asked, "Is everything you've said true?"

Song Wen said, "How could I dare to deceive Young Master Xing?"

Xing Chang nodded in satisfaction. "I doubt you have the guts."

He seemed to have found a loophole in Song Wen's words and questioned him.

"You risked entering the Cave, probably to try and get something for nothing, right?"

As if his shameless behavior had been exposed, Song Wen looked embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly.

Xing Chang glanced at Song Wen with disdain, his expression conveying a mocking message that said, "Your filthy thoughts could not possibly escape the discerning eye of this young master."

"If that's the case, why don't you kill Xing Xinxin and take her storage ring?"

Song Wen said, "Young master, you may not know this, but although Miss Xing is somewhat mentally challenged, she has cultivated some kind of demonic Cultivation Method, transforming herself into the appearance of a thousand-year-old corpse. Her physical body is incredibly strong, and I am no match for her. Moreover, I dare not kill her; even if I kill her, I will not escape the Xing Family's pursuit."

There were virtually no flaws in Song Wen's words.

"Demonic Cultivation Method?" Xing Chang muttered to himself.

His face was filled with undisguised joy as he paced back and forth, glancing at Song Wen every now and then, seemingly doubting the veracity of Song Wen's words, or perhaps considering whether to go to the Cave himself.

Song Wen was somewhat surprised.

Why did Xing Chang suddenly seem to have a brain today?

Or is it simply that he's afraid of death and dares not venture thousands of miles away?

We need to add fuel to the fire and get Xing Chang to volunteer to go to the Cave.

Having made up his mind, Song Wen said, "Young Master Xing, let's quickly report Miss Xing's predicament to the Xing Family."

Xing Chang asked in confusion, "Why should we inform the Xing Family?"

Song Wen, with a greedy look on his face, said, "I brought back such important intelligence to the Xing Family; Xing Family will surely reward me handsomely."

Xing Chang stared at Song Wen with displeasure.

"You actually want to save that bitch! Didn't you see how badly she beat me yesterday?!"

Song Wen was taken aback. "Then how should we handle this?"

Xing Chang said, "Take me to that Cave. I want to see it for myself. You dare not kill her, but I have a way to make her wish she were dead."

Song Wen looked at Xing Chang in astonishment, "Young Master Xing, are you going in person? Didn't you say before that your mother wouldn't allow you to leave Fangzhu City?"

Xing Chang straightened his back, his voice carrying a hint of anger.

"Wei Ding, how dare you look down on me? Am I, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, not even able to make decisions on such trivial matters?"

Song Wen said, "Young Master Xing, please don't be offended, I misspoke."

He raised his hand and gestured eastward.

"Young master, please!"

Xing Chang rode up on his sword, taking the lead, and headed east.

In order to avoid revealing his weakness to Xing Chang, Song Wen could only slow down and travel slowly on his sword.

It took the two of them almost half a day to reach the Rift Valley, which was more than 10,000 miles away.

Upon arriving at the Cave at the bottom of the Rift Valley, Song Wen Wendao...

"Young Master Xing, Miss Xing is trapped in this Cave. There are many poisonous insects inside, so please be careful."

Xing Chang nodded, and after taking an antidote pill, fearing for his life, he did not rush in.

A white shield suddenly appeared around him.

Song Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Law Power Shield!

This is a shield formed by a strand of Law Power left on Xing Chang at the cost of someone sacrificing their own cultivation.

When the Tidal Demon was captured, Xing Chang did not have this Law Power shield. It must have been recently that someone infused him with Law Power.

"No wonder he dared to leave Fangzhu City today!" Song Wen thought to himself.

However, the Law Power shield on Xing Chang's body was not strong; it was probably left behind by a Golden Core cultivator.

It wouldn't take Song Wen much effort to defeat it.

"You lead the way," Xing Chang said to Song Wen in a commanding tone.

"Young Master Xing, please follow me."

Song Wen strode into the Cave.

Song Wen had already cleared out most of the poisonous insects in the Cave, and the two of them arrived smoothly at the Poison Grotto several miles underground.

Inside the Poison Grotto, Xing Xinxin huddled in a corner of the Cave, her face filled with fear and helplessness.

Before entering the Cave, Song Wen secretly had the Sacred Beetle Gu untie the Binding Spirit Rope and woke up Xing Xinxin.

Xing Chang looked at Xing Xinxin and tentatively asked.

"Xing Xinxin? Do you recognize me?"

Xing Xinxin looked up at Xing Chang, her eyes filled with confusion, "Who are you?"

"Hahaha... Xing Xinxin, you've finally met your match!" Xing Chang suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly.

As if startled by Xing Chang's laughter, Xing Xinxin curled up even tighter.

She hugged her knees tightly with both hands, buried her head between them, and curled herself up into a ball, as if only in this way could she gain some sense of security.

Seeing this, Xing Chang laughed even more unrestrainedly.

His almost manic laughter echoed throughout the cave.

"Xing Xinxin, you've been at odds with me since we were little, taking advantage of your higher cultivation level to bully me and make me lose face in the Lineage. Now, the tables have turned, and you've become a fool!"

Just as Xing Chang was getting carried away with his triumph, he became somewhat oblivious to his own situation.

"Bang!"

Xing Chang felt as if his back had been suddenly struck by a High Antiquity ferocious beast.

If it weren't for the Law Power shield protecting him, he would have been turned into a pile of minced meat by this attack.

Xing Chang was thrown into the air by the impact.

He was still in mid-air, not yet understanding who had ambushed him, when he saw a silver-glowing zombie leap in front of him.

The corpse's claws gleamed with a chilling light as they slashed down at his head.
