The Great Yan Dynasty was publicly recognized as a rich land in the North Nether Region. Under the rule of the Human Emperor, the entire dynasty was flourishing and could be said to be a rich country with strong people.
Therefore, as the center of the dynasty, the capital was extremely prosperous. Every single street was filled with people.
Everyone had a smile on their face. Even though there were some who were frowning, those were few and far between. It was obvious that the citizens of the capital were living a happy life.
This made Ling Xian exclaim.
In this cruel world of cultivation, to see so many smiling faces was not an easy thing to do.
Just as he exclaimed, something disharmonious happened.
Before him, a Flaming Stallion dashed out. It was tall and majestic as it galloped down the street like lightning.
On the back of the horse sat a 16 year old young girl. Her facial features were delicate and she wore a red robe. Her face was arrogant.
She whipped the horse and galloped down the crowded street without any hesitation.
This made Ling Xian frown. He didn't think someone would dare to gallop on the street. When he saw a child in the middle of the street, his frown deepened.
Because if he wasn't mistaken, the Flaming Stallion was going to land on the child's head.
"Princess Ling Xi is here, everyone run!"
"Dammit! Dammit!"
"Run! That Flaming Stallion is of the original level. If it steps on you, there is no way you can survive!"
Everyone on the street lost their composure and dodged to the side. At once, the crowded street emptied out. Only the child remained.
Of course, there was Ling Xian.
Just then, the Flaming Stallion, under its master's command, arrived before the child. Its red hooves lifted up high and slammed down heavily!
The violent wind alone was enough to blow the child to the ground. If it landed on him, there was no way he could survive.
This scene scared the child out of his wits. Everyone's expression changed.
Princess Ling Xi, who was on the horse, had a change of expression as well. She wanted to stop the Flaming Stallion, but her cultivation level was far too low. She could not stop the Flaming Stallion.
At this critical moment, Ling Xian moved like lightning. He stood before the child and extended a slender palm.
This caused hope to appear in everyone's eyes, but when they saw his sickly appearance, their hope immediately turned into disappointment.
In that instant, the same thought appeared in everyone's mind.
It was over. This young man was going to die on the spot.
Just as the crowd was about to exclaim in shock, they heard a loud explosion. Then, the Flaming Steps Heavenly Horse and Princess Lingxi were both sent flying.
Suddenly, the entire street fell silent.
Everyone stared at Ling Xian dumbfoundedly. Their brains were blank and even their breathing stopped.
Ling Xian didn't care about this.
He held the crying child in his arms, his eyes as gentle as the moonlight, enough to melt any woman's heart.
Strangely enough, when he held the child in his arms, the child immediately stopped crying and grabbed his hair, giggling.
This softened Ling Xian's gaze. He played with the little fellow's lips with his finger and revealed a warm smile.
Sadly, happy times are always short lived.
After Princess Lingxi recollected herself, she was infuriated. Whipping the horse, she charged towards Ling Xian.
The gust of wind made everyone's expression change.
Ling Xian frowned as well. It wasn't that he was troubled, it was that Princess Lingxi didn't know what was good for her.
He had already held back just now and merely knocked her away. If he didn't hold back, he could've killed the Flaming Steps Heavenly Horse with a finger.
It was fine that Princess Lingxi didn't appreciate his kindness, but she was attacking again. This naturally made him unhappy.
"Damn brat, how dare you attack me! You must be tired of living!"
Princess Lingxi whipped the horse. Like a bolt of lightning, she slashed across the sky and headed towards Ling Xian's face.
Whooosh!
The long whip was ferocious and released surging magic power. Even if it was a mountain, it could still be easily shattered!
Everyone's expression changed at this. Many people couldn't help but scream out loud.
However, Ling Xian remained calm. He didn't even look and merely flapped around his sleeve.
BANG!
The whip shattered. The Flaming Steps Heavenly Horse and Princess Lingxi were flung out again and slammed onto the ground.
This made Princess Lingxi's face twist in pain. She felt like she was seeing stars and her bones were about to fall apart.
"Dammit, you bastard!"
Princess Lingxi gritted her teeth and stared deadly at Ling Xian as if she could spit out fire.
She was the youngest daughter of the Prince of Ping Nan. Though she was a hostage, nobody dared to provoke her in the capital. Even the princes had to treat her with respect.
Yet now, she was flung out by Ling Xian. To her, this was a huge humiliation!
Therefore, she raised her right hand and was about to whip again. However, she was stunned by a cold statement.
"If you dare to attack again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ling Xian spoke softly. The way he looked at the child was still gentle. However, his words made everyone shudder.
Princess Lingxi shuddered and subconsciously lowered her hand. She felt fear from the bottom of her heart. Especially after being flung out twice by Ling Xian, she became even more fearful.
"I originally planned on visiting you at your palace. I didn't think you would be so arrogant." Ling Xian put down the child and signaled for him to return home. Then, he shifted his gaze towards Princess Lingxi.
"Damn bastard, I will never let you go!"
Princess Lingxi clenched her teeth. Three cranes flew out of her sleeve. It was obvious that she was calling for help.
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "You did something wrong and yet you don't know how to repent. So this is the daughter of the Prince of Ping Nan? You are arrogant and you don't care about the lives of the citizens. You sure made your father proud. "
"What I do is not up to you to teach me!"
Princess Lingxi was furious and snickered, "Young man, you are dead for sure. I sure want to see if a sickly person like you can stop the Three Heroes of the General Clan!"
"The Three Heroes of the General Clan?"
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "It looks like I cannot leave. Oh well, I sure want to see the so-called Three Heroes of the General Clan."
After saying that, he casually pulled a chair over and leaned on it.
His calm and composed demeanor caused Princess Spirit Rhino's eyelids to twitch. Everyone else also exclaimed in surprise.
"What the, how dominating!"
"He is sitting in the middle of the field and waiting for the Three Heroes of the General Clan to show up. Is he trying to please the crowd or is he truly capable?"
"This young man is dead for sure. The Three Heroes of the General Clan are the most talented descendants of the Yan Dynasty's generals. Their capabilities are unparalleled in the capital. They are terrifying."
"That's right. Every single one of them is at the peak of the Path Choosing Realm. They have also trained in the military. They are different from those vases!"
Everyone chimed in. The way they looked at Ling Xian was both worried and gloating.
"How arrogant. Young man, you are dead for sure."
Princess Lingxi's face was dark. She originally thought that by bringing up the Three Heroes of the General Clan, she would be able to scare Ling Xian. She didn't think that he would act like nothing happened!
This made her stomp her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
Just then, three silhouettes descended, their Qi shocking the entire field!
