"What? A maid? You dare to say that again? "

Bing Ling Sword was furious. She directly flew towards Jing Yunxiao's neck, as if she were to cut Jing Yunxiao into pieces.

"Well, how about ‘handmaid’?"

Jing Yunxiao ridiculed.

"You …"

Bing Ling Sword was flustered and exasperated.

"What about a ‘maidservant’?"

Jing Yunxiao laughed sinisterly.

“Go to hell, you idiot. I am a queen!”

Bing Ling Sword retorted.

"Okay, fine. Quean if you like."

Each got what they wanted -- this was the basis for Jing Yunxiao and Bing Ling Sword reaching an agreement.

Of course, Bing Ling didn't agree at first. If she was to obey Jing Yunxiao, it meant that she lost the initiative, or more accurately, she would become his sword pet.

She was a high-status lady, how could she become someone's sword pet?

But with Jing Yunxiao's insistence and her desire to restore her body, she finally gave in.

Time waited for no one. After they reached the agreement, Jing Yunxiao told Jing Yufeng and Jing Yan about him leaving to train elsewhere the next day.

When they heard that Jing Yunxiao was going to the Great Desolate Mountain Range, they undoubtedly advised him not to go there.

After all, the Great Desolate Mountain Range was truly too dangerous.

It was a place for training, not only for the common martial cultivators, but also for the disciples of the few great sects in Hundred Warring State. If he was not lucky or careful enough, there would be grave danger.

However, Jing Yunxiao had only given one reason to make Jing Yufeng and Jing Yan give up on the thought of persuading him otherwise. And the reason was naturally Bing Ling Sword.

With Bing Ling Sword, Jing Yunxiao was equivalent to have mastered the ability to fly, which originally only the experts of Profound Martial Stage could have. No matter how dangerous Great Desolate Mountain Range was, it was still rare to encounter a martial cultivator of Profound Martial Stage. Since he had such a technique to get away from danger, it was no longer that dangerous anymore.

In addition, Jing Yunxiao had also indicated that, during this trip to the Great Desolate Mountain Range, he might be able to gather all of the ingredients needed to heal the bruises in Jing Yufeng's body. Once they were gathered and Jing Yunxiao returned, it would be possible to help Jing Yufeng back to the peak of Martial Tao.

If Jing Yufeng could recover the power he had in the past, forget about a mere Black Dragon Stronghold, even it’s in the imperial city, with just a simple roar, many forces and powers would tremble with fear.

At the night when Jing Yunxiao was about to leave, the wind was blowing smoothly.

In a courtyard of Jing Family, under the gazes of Jing Yufeng, Jing Yan, and Jing Zhu, who had returned to Jing Family, Jing Yunxiao hugged Bing Ling Sword in his arms and floated away.

Oh, sorry. He ‘flew’ away.

Though, in fact, Jing Yunxiao wanted to look cooler, either by standing or by sitting on the sword. Unfortunately, his martial cultivation was too low, so no matter if he was standing or sitting, he was unable to resist the strong air currents, thus he could only put himself through such “discomfort”.

"How long can this Soul-supporting Fruit last to support you to fly?"

In the darkness, Jing Yunxiao took out a spirit fruit the size of an egg and placed it on the Bing Ling Sword. In an instant, the sword emitted a strange aura, and then continuously absorbed the Soul-supporting Fruit.

At the same time, Bing Ling happily replied, "Roughly eight hours."

"What? Only eight hours?"

Jing Yunxiao's face was filled with pain.

Before leaving the Jing Family, Bing Ling had told him that if he wanted the sword to carry him flying in the air, she would need to maintain her abundant soul energy. But how? The most direct method was naturally to absorb the spirit medicine that could nourish soul energy.

Previously in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, the reason why Bing Ling Sword fought fiercely with the Iron Arm Giant Ape was to obtain the Sky Spirit Earth Fruit, which could be used to nourish her soul energy.

Regarding this, Jing Yunxiao had never doubted what Bing Ling said.

According to what he knew, souls existed in some objects in the world. If the soul energy was too weak, the object itself would directly vanish into ashes. But if the soul energy was strong enough, the soul could even be condensed into a soul body and then leave the object to move around for a while. And for those who had even greater soul energy, they could use their soul energy to perform some powerful martial techniques.

And right now, Bing Ling was just using her own soul energy to make the sword fly.

Therefore, after knowing this, Jing Yunxiao immediately searched through the entire Treasure Pavilion of the Jing Family.

In the end, he finally found ten Soul-supporting Fruits in the Treasure Pavilion.

Jing Yunxiao thought that ten Soul-supporting Fruits should be enough to sustain Bing Ling for one month.

Unexpectedly, now he knew that a Soul-supporting Fruit could only last for eight hours - only one third of a day. The trip from Red Leaf Town to Great Desolate Mountain Range alone would take three days, which meant that the ten Soul-supporting Fruits could only allow them to arrive at the Great Desolate Mountain Range. As for the flight after the arrival and when they were to return even later, Jing Yunxiao had to figure out some other solutions.

"Brat, the quality level of this Soul-supporting Fruit is quite low. I have been saving a lot so that it can last for eight hours. Besides, if it wasn't for the fact that I was able to keep my soul in good condition after absorbing the Sky Spirit Earth Fruit, this Soul-supporting Fruit could probably only be able to last for two hours. "

Bing Ling said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yunxiao stayed silent and did not say anything any further.

He could only arrive at Great Desolate Mountain Range first and then think of a way to get some spirit medicines which could nourish souls.

Thus, under the night sky, a man and a sword quietly left Jing Family and Red Leaf Town.

At the same time, also in the Hundred Warring State, in a forested mountain a bit far away from Red Leaf Town, there were five men wearing in blood-red robes. Currently, their faces were pale.

One of them said: "Lord Commander, why did the blood shadow tracing placed by the Great Elder suddenly disappear? Without the blood shadow tracing, how are we supposed to track that brat's whereabouts?"

If anyone from the War God Mansion was here, he or she could have recognized it with just a glance -- these men were the Blood God Guards arranged by Jing Xian that day to search for Jing Yunxiao.

Only that they had left the War God Mansion and followed the blood shadow tracing all the way to this unknown mountain, and all of a sudden, the trace actually disappeared from their sight. Without the guidance of the blood shadow tracing, they were totally lost.

"There's only one reason why the blood shadow tracing disappeared, and that is because the person we are looking for is far enough away from us that even the blood shadow tracing cannot track him down."

Said indifferently a mid-aged man among them. He looked the most imposing and his eyes were exuding brutality.

But after he finished speaking, another person immediately spoke up. He asked in a bewildered tone, "Lord Commander, this shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, we should be getting closer and closer to Jing Yunxiao since we have followed the blood shadow tracing all the way. How could he possibly that away from us within all of a sudden? Could it be that the brat left even faster than us?"

"That's what I can't figure out."

The commander shook his head, also at a loss.

"Lord Commander, what should we do now? It would take forever for us to find him if there is no trace or clue. How could we complete the mission within ten days?”

The other man in the blood-red robe asked as well.

The Commander frowned. But he still made his decision and said: "What else can we do? Since we have lost the blood shadow tracing, even if we have to search for him for several years, we must continue so until we find him. Considering the Great Elder's temper and that he attached great importance to this lad, if we go back without finding him, our days in the War God Mansion will probably come to an end. So, we must try everything to find Jing Yunxiao.”
