Staring at the three story building, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with shock.
On his way here, he has seen many grand and luxurious buildings. But the one before him was extremely rare.
This made him exclaim. It was no wonder the Tower of Wan Bao has so much influence in the Universe of Eternity.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Su Zi and teased, "You are the little princess of the Tower of Wan Bao. Your identity is much more honorable than the princesses of other kingdoms."
Hearing this, Su Zi's face reddened but she didn't say anything.
"Okay, I will stop teasing you. Let's go."
Grinning, Ling Xian marched into the Tower of Wan Bao. After showing him the token the elder gave him, a middle-aged man immediately appeared with a warm smile.
However, Ling Xian's sharp senses told him that this person's expression was a little off.
Especially after he said he was here to help the ruler detoxify, this person became more and more passionate, but there was coldness hidden deep inside his eyes.
This made him cautious. But he didn't make a sound. Instead, he followed this person's lead and headed towards an unknown location.
"Don't rush. We will arrive at the ruler's home soon."
The middle-aged man was full of smiles as he led the way. They left the Tower of Wan Bao and headed towards a less populated area.
Now, not only did Ling Xian notice something was off, even Su Zi felt something was off.
She tugged on Ling Xian's sleeve, signaling him to stop and not to walk any further.
"Don't worry. I knew things wouldn't go so smoothly." Ling Xian communicated silently. He didn't plan on stopping. Instead, he was very interested.
He had predicted that he wouldn't be able to meet the ruler so easily. The Tower of Wan Bao of the Luo Yang Region must have spies from the elders.
The reason why he chose to follow was because he was confident in his capabilities. For two, he wanted to solve problems.
After all, even if he leaves now, he won't be able to see the ruler. There will still be many obstacles, so he might as well use this opportunity to solve them.
Therefore, Ling Xian's expression was calm. His steps were calm as he followed the middle-aged man to an unknown location.
This made the middle-aged man very proud. Especially when they arrived at a desolate ruin, he couldn't hide his arrogance anymore.
Then, his expression changed. If before, his smile was full of respect, then now, it was full of mockery.
"Idiot!"
The man scolded disdainfully and said complacently, "As early as the moment you left the Luo Yang Region's Myriad Treasure Tower, I received the news and also already laid out an inescapable net, just waiting for you to deliver yourself to the door."
"Is that so? You, an ant of the Dao Choosing Levelled Cultivator, you call that a trap?" Ling Xian shook his head and laughed.
"Ants?"
The man's face fell, and he said, "I know that you're very strong, even that old fart is very respectful towards you. But my Myriad Treasure Tower's matters aren't what you can intervene in."
"Whether a small fry like you can intervene or not is not up to you. Let the hidden person come out, lest I slap you to death."
Ling Xian chuckled. He had noticed a long time ago that there were many cultivators hiding here.
"Your spiritual sense isn't bad, but it's a pity that it can't change your fate!"
The man sneered and waved his hand. Suddenly, several figures appeared in the void, and the leader was the most conspicuous.
He was wearing a white robe and had a white beard. His body was hunched, but the Qi he emitted was at the beginning stage of the Merging Path.
"Greetings, Fourth Elder." The man's smile was full of flattery.
The elder waved his hand and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian. He said softly, "So you are also at the beginning stage of the Merging Path. It is no wonder you dare to intervene in my business."
At those words, the man was startled. The news he received merely said that the elder found someone to cure the Ruler's poison. He didn't know Ling Xian's identity or capabilities.
Therefore, after hearing what the Fourth Elder said, he was a little fearful. But when he remembered that the Fourth Elder was next to him, he became fearless.
"So what you are at the beginning stage of the Merging Path? Before the Fourth Elder, you are nothing but chickens and dogs! "
The man's face was full of disdain. On one hand, he was elevating the Fourth Elder, and on the other hand, he was belittling Ling Xian.
"Nothing but chickens and dogs …"
Ling Xian smiled. If the Fourth Elder was at the intermediate stage of the Merging Path, then he might feel a little pressured. But a cultivator at the beginning stage of the Merging Path … he wasn't even interested.
Of course, the young cultivators with five undefeatable realms were an exception.
"Young man, I heard you are going to cure the Ruler's poison?" The Fourth Elder spoke. His old eyes flickered with coldness that struck fear into everyone.
However, this could not intimidate Ling Xian.
Even though the elder was once a Heaven's Favorite, as long as he wasn't a young cultivator with five undefeatable realms, he posed no threat to Ling Xian.
"You guys are indeed well-informed, but you're not that well-informed."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. Thinking about how this person knew he was going to cure Su Zi's grandfather but didn't know his identity, Ling Xian found it funny.
When his voice trailed off, everyone froze.
What did he mean by well-informed but not well-informed?
Wasn't that contradicting?
The Fourth Elder frowned and said coldly, "Don't try to act mysterious in front of me. If you back off now, I can spare your life."
"What if I don't?" Ling Xian grinned, his eyes were full of mockery.
"If you don't back off, you will die."
The Fourth Elder's expression turned cold, "Let me warn you, the business of the Tower of Thousand Treasures is not something you can interfere with. If you know what's good for you, then get the f * ck out of here."
"Now that you put it that way, I really want to interfere."
Ling Xian's eyes turned cold, "I have to cure your ruler's poison!"
"Then you must die!"
The Fourth Elder was furious. His Qi seeped out of his body and rolled out in all directions.
This made his subordinates look at him with respect. However, when they looked at Ling Xian, they were taunting him.
The middle-aged man, in particular, was full of mockery. He said proudly, "Young man, if you kneel down and apologize right now, maybe it's not too late."
"I really don't know who gave you the courage to talk to me like this. If it's him …"
Ling Xian glared at him and shifted his gaze to the Fourth Elder, "Then I will stop him."
At those words, everyone laughed out loud, mocking Ling Xian for overestimating himself.
But in the next second, they couldn't laugh anymore. It was as if someone was strangling their throats.
Because Ling Xian made a move.
Like a ghost, he appeared before the Fourth Elder and pressed down with his palm. At once, the void exploded and all directions shook!
This made the Fourth Elder's expression change. He exploded with all his Qi to defend. However, there was a fundamental difference between him and Ling Xian. Even a casual attack from Ling Xian was not something he could defend against.
Therefore, Ling Xian directly shattered this person's defensive technique and pressed this person's head onto the ground.
BOOOM!
The ground cracked open. The Fourth Elder's head was stuck to the ground and fresh blood flowed endlessly.
This scene shocked everyone.
Everyone's shock reached an extreme point. Their mouths were wide open enough to swallow an egg.
"A mere cultivator of the beginning stage of the Blending Path has no right to send me on my way."
Looking at the Fourth Elder whose head was stuck to the ground, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He was obviously smiling, but in everyone's eyes, it was extremely cold.
