A Typical Reincarnation

Chapter 68 - Huge Change Incoming?

Hearing such, Mo Dingtian went into a daze and a cold light flashed past his eyes. Although it only flashed momentarily, Xu Qi took notice of it.

"Your ring? I think Young Master Xu has misunderstood. When I discovered you in the forest, I happened to notice a ring next to you, and wasn't sure whether it belonged to you. Thus, I brought it back and thought to wait for you to regain consciousness to ask you about it. I don't have any greedy thoughts," Mo Dingtian explained sincerely, such that others couldn't find a fault in his words.

He flipped his palm and took out the bronze ring Venerable Ziyan had left for Xu Qi, smiling at him.

Xu Qi, too, reciprocated the smile and took the ring, saying, "It is indeed mine. Many thanks to Boss Mo. Not only did you save my life, you even retrieved my lost ring for me. Thank you."

Of course, Mo Dingtian could tell the sarcasm in Xu Qi's tone. Yet he waved his hand, indicating that his help wasn't worth mentioning.

The truth was, Mo Dingtian had always been interested in Xu Qi's ring. He didn't know what material was used to forge it. Thus, when he brought Xu Qi back from the forest, he spent a lot of effort before he managed to take it off of his finger. However, Mo Dingtian tried several times but was still unable to access the ring's dimension. Therefore, he knew that this strange ring must have barriers set up by Xu Qi, the kind that only its owner could access.

Since Xu Qi had already discovered that the ring was on him and Mo Dingtian didn't wish to offend the former because of his curiosity, why not just go with the flow and return it to him.

"Boss Mo, I still wish to inquire, what happened after I fell unconscious in the forest?" asked Xu Qi carefully as he looked at Mo Dingtian while putting on his ring.

After Xu Qi woke up, he looked to be the same as ever on the surface, as carefree as before. However, once he recalled the happenings in the forest that day, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. That was fear!

Mo Dingtian's face turned solemn as Xu Qi mentioned this matter. He said gravely, "That day, many people felt the shocking explosion in the east to the city and set off in that direction. I, too, led some men there out of curiosity.

"In the end, when I reached and saw that desolate scene, truthfully speaking, my legs turned to jelly," Mo Dingtian said seriously, shaking his head.

"Oh? So it was a magnificent view?" Xu Qi asked in disbelief.

"Magnificent? No, it was a tragic view! You didn't see it, but it was originally a forested area, yet, all the trees had disappeared into thin air, and a huge crater took their place. Several hundred cultivators from the seven top schools of each nation were sprawled on the ground, their lives and deaths unknown. After careful inspection, we only found about a dozen of them still alive; and by alive, I meant they were barely holding onto life. Do you think it's magnificent?" Mo Dingtian said as he rolled his eyes.

"What!? All dead!?" Xu Qi was so shocked, he jumped out of his seat, looking at Mo Dingtian with his eyes wide, mouth agape. He hoped to get an answer out of the latter's gaze.

Mo Dingtian shook his head, saying, "That's right. Several hundred experts died. Even Undying School's third elder, Bu Wang Sheng, and Cai Luren of Woodsprout's number one school, the Virtuous Clan; these two first-rate experts died."
