In the sky, Ling Xian, like the God of Warrior, stood tall and proud.
As for Pian Ru Yu, she was nowhere to be seen.
This shocked everyone. They didn't think Ling Xian could fight against Pian Ru Yu. They also didn't think he could force her to retreat.
Though the outcome of the battle was not decided and it wasn't that Pian Ru Yu was afraid of Ling Xian, it was an undeniable fact that she was forced to retreat!
To know that Pian Ru Yu was a rare genius from the House of Qing Yi. She was also the most famous young cultivator in the North Underworld Region. Like the eternal Sun in the sky, she outshone everyone else in her generation.
In the entire North Underworld Region, how many people could force her to retreat?
Yet Ling Xian did it. First, he fought 300 rebuttals without a clear winner. Then, he forced her to retreat!
Without a doubt, this was an inconceivable result and an extremely glorious achievement! Therefore, everyone was in awe. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of respect. It was as if they were looking at an undefeatable God of Warrior. They didn't dare to show any disrespect.
"What a pity. I should've attacked with you and killed him here." Yan Liusu flew to Ling Xian's side. Her eyes were full of pity.
"If he wanted to leave, even if the two of us attacked together, we might not be able to stop him."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He had fought against Pian Ru Yu for hundreds of rebuttals and knew how powerful she was. She was the strongest opponent he's ever encountered.
As powerful as he was, he wasn't certain he could win.
"That's not necessarily true. If the two of us attacked together, we could've killed him. Now, we are letting the tiger return to the mountain." Yan Liusu sighed.
"Even if we can kill him, we can't. At least, you can't." Ling Xian shook his head.
"Why is that?" Yan Liusu was confused again.
"From your conversation with Pian Ru Yu, your elder brother is trying to kill you. Pian Ru Yu is a rare genius from the House of Qing Yi. She is the treasure of those old monsters."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered with intelligence. "If you kill this person, those old monsters will for sure go crazy. Even with your father's support, they will do everything they can to kill you. They might even side with your elder brother."
"The House of Qing Yi is already siding with the Crown Prince." Yan Liusu's eyes flashed with hatred and sadness.
"It's different."
Ling Xian shook his head, "The House of Qing Yi did not send out a sixth leveled cultivator. This means they are merely an employer and the Crown Prince cannot afford the price."
"But if you kill Pian Ruyu, that Qingyi House will go crazy. Don't forget that they are assassins. They can easily kill you."
"Therefore, I can kill, because I am alone and I do not fear the Green Shirt House. But you can't kill him. Otherwise, the Crown Prince will laugh. "
Ling Xian continued to speak and told them the consequences of killing Pian Ru Yu.
This enlightened Yan Liusu and warmed his heart.
Just like Ling Xian said, he cannot kill Pian Ru Yu. Or else he will have to face the wrath of the House of Qing Yi. At this moment, he already had the Crown Prince as his enemy. If the Qingyi House was added to the mix, he would definitely die.
"Now you understand why I didn't let you attack."
Ling Xian grinned, "I am not stupid. If I could kill Pian Ru Yu, I would've asked you to attack a long time ago."
Hearing this, Yan Liusu bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you for what you did today. If it wasn't for you, I would've been buried here."
"You are my friend. There is no need for such pleasantries." Ling Xian waved his hand.
"Haha, I was being unreasonable."
Yan Liusu laughed brightly. After a while, he exclaimed, "I have discovered that not only are you extremely capable, but you are also extremely intelligent."
"You are flattering me." Ling Xian grinned.
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Your martial prowess is outstanding, and your wisdom is extraordinary. Not only can you be my guard, but you can also be a good advisor."
Yan Liusu bitterly chuckled and sighed, "Compared to you, my guards and advisors are no different than trash."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and didn't say anything. He was thinking about the young Pian Ru Yu.
Even though they were opponents, he had to admit that this person was insanely powerful. She was the strongest opponent he had ever faced in his life.
His instinct also told him that this battle will not end here. Sooner or later, he and Pian Ru Yu will meet again.
When that time comes, it will be a battle of life and death!
"It is no wonder she is the publicly acknowledged most powerful young cultivator in the North Underworld Region. I wonder how powerful the other two young cultivators will be."
Ling Xian silently sighed and warned himself not to relax. Or else he will not be able to reach the end of this undefeatable path.
After all, this world is far too big. There are too many people to count. There will always be some undefeatable monsters!
"Fighting against the heavens, fighting against others, this is cultivation."
Ling Xian exclaimed. Other than determination in his eyes, there was anticipation.
The next time they meet, he will not let Pian Ru Yu leave!
"This is what it means to be a capable person with both the pen and the sword. Compared to you, I feel like my intelligence is not enough." Yan Liusu's eyes were full of resentment.
Before meeting Ling Xian, he didn't think he was smart, but he wasn't stupid either. But after meeting Ling Xian, he felt like he was an idiot. He was extremely stupid.
"You."
Ling Xian shook his head and changed the topic, "Tell me, how do you plan on dealing with the Crown Prince?"
Hearing this, Yan Liusu was silent.
After some time, he sighed, "I don't know. I didn't think he would be ruthless enough to try and kill me."
"Tell me about the situation. Though I don't want to get involved in the turmoil of the royal family, since you are my friend, I cannot just sit by and do nothing," Ling Xian said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Yan Liusu's heart warmed. He sighed, "Out of all the princes in the Yan Kingdom, I am the most powerful competitor for the Crown Prince. Especially a year ago, the competition was at its most intense."
"Back then, my father announced in front of all the officials that whoever can reach the undefeatable realm of the Dao will be the next Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. From a certain perspective, this was the same as getting rid of the Crown Prince and giving all the princes a chance. "
"And I am the most talented Heaven's Favorite recognized by the royal family. So, back then, the Crown Prince tried to kill me."
"Originally, I had no intention of fighting for the throne. But after being provoked again and again, I couldn't take it anymore. In a fit of anger, I came to the Valley of Worries."
Yan Liusu spoke one after another and simply explained the whole story.
"It seems like the scales of victory are tilting towards you."
Ling Xian grinned, "Since your father disregarded the rules and made such a request, it is obvious that he is leaning towards you."
"And you have lived up to expectations. When you return to the palace, you will be confirmed as the next Emperor."
Ling Xian's lips curled into a smile, "Let me congratulate you first."
"If I become the next Emperor, half of the credit goes to you."
Yan Liusu's expression was serious, "Without you, I wouldn't even be able to leave the Hidden Territory."
"There is no need to bring up the past. What we need to do now is to get to the palace as soon as possible. Or else things might change."
Ling Xian warned. Then, he rolled up his sleeve and threw Night and Bing Tian onto the deck. He hopped onto the ship himself.
Yan Liusu did the same.
Then, the heavenly ship crossed through space and headed towards the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
