The giant Sun hung high in the sky. It was noon.
On the golden beach, hundreds of silhouettes descended from the sky. Every single one of them was wearing a bloodied robe and their breathing was weak. However, their faces were rippling with happiness.
"Haha, I knew Master Ling would not disappoint us. He will for sure lead us out of here!"
"Yes, Master Ling is so powerful. He will for sure lead us out of this."
"Haha, it feels good to be alive. This warm Sun is so beautiful."
Everyone's hearts relaxed. The atmosphere of despair suddenly dissipated and was replaced by relief and hope.
Many people were crying tears of joy. They kneeled on the ground and silently shed two streams of tears.
After all, they had been through fear and hopelessness. Now that they had escaped, of course they were happy. However, when these people remembered their dead brothers, their masters, and the soon to be destroyed House of Zi Yang, they fell into dead silence.
The tears that flowed were no longer joyful. They were pure sadness.
This was especially so for Zi Hua Shang. When she thought about her father risking his life to buy her precious time to breathe, she felt extremely sad. She felt like she had lost her soul, as if she had lost it.
"Aye …"
A long sigh suddenly rang out. A white-clothed, exquisite-looking woman slowly walked out from the crowd, then stood right in front of the crowd.
This woman was Yun Yan. She was considered lucky. She and her sister Yun Meng did not die in the battle before.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."
Yun Yan pressed down with both of her hands. When everyone's gaze landed on her, she sighed, "I know you are all very sad. But now is not the time to be sad. To ensure our safety, Master Ling used his own strength to block the door and cover our retreat. "
Pausing, she continued, "We all know why Master Ling is doing this. So what we need to do is to get out of here as soon as possible and not cry. We have wasted the Supreme Headmaster's efforts and wasted the precious opportunity Master Ling fought for for us. "
Hearing this, the entire place silenced. Only after a long while did everyone finally speak.
"That's right. The Supreme Headmaster fought so hard and the Master fought so hard. What is it for? Isn't it for the continuation of the House of Zi Yang and for us to live on? We mustn't let them down! "
"That's right, Sect Master and Young Master risked their lives to let us live on, everyone must pull themselves together!"
"That's right. Let's hurry up and leave this place. We need to ensure our own safety first. Young Master Ling is so powerful, he will definitely be fine!"
"Right, even if we stay, we'll only be a burden to the Young Master and won't be of any use."
Everyone's expression was resolute. Although they were still immersed in great sorrow, compared to before, they had already pulled themselves together and had a new conviction to live on.
"I have arranged a location with the Master. Everyone, follow me. I will take you to a safe place." Yun Yan spoke softly and walked towards the southeast direction.
It was in the direction of the Yun Family.
…
Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven, in front of the golden door:
Ling Xian's expression was calm and his eyes were as calm as an ancient well. However, there was a trace of unwavering determination.
He held the long black halberd in his hand and pointed it towards the southern sky. He had the posture of a single man blocking the pass, but he also had the imposing manner of a man swallowing the world and looking down on the mortal world.
The killing intent emitted from the tip of the halberd was a signal.
All who came would die!
"Stay where you are and don't move. Or else … don't blame me for being merciless."
Ling Xian stood before the golden door and coldly glanced around. Instantly, all the cultivators shuddered and stared at him in fear.
That silhouette was obviously skinny, but right now, it was as tall as a mountain. No matter how much rain or wind blew, it could not move an inch.
"What … what a terrifying person."
The sound of gulping arose one after another. The cultivators from the two forces were full of fear. Staring at the demon-like Ling Xian, their bodies uncontrollably began to shake.
Even though they told themselves that they cannot let the House of Zi Yang leave just like that, they did not have the courage to chase after them. At the very least, none of these cultivators dared to chase after them.
This was all because there was someone standing before them.
A victor of the foundational level who had beaten them until they trembled in fear.
Simply by standing there, he was able to make these cultivators tremble in fear. They didn't even have the courage to rush forward. How dominating was this?!
Dominating!
This was how every cultivator felt about Ling Xian right now.
Even the completion levelled cultivators felt the same. Other than admiration in their eyes, there was also a hint of surprise.
"What a victor of the foundational level. Ignoring everything else, his bravery alone is not something normal people can compare to." The Third Elder, who Yan Ning Zhi called Yan Ning Zhi, sighed. He did not even try to hide his admiration towards Ling Xian.
"This man's ability to fight against all enemies … he truly lives up to his name of being the victor of the foundational level." A middle-aged man exclaimed. His face was still full of shock.
"Whether it's capabilities or bravery, he is the cream of the crop. He is a dragon among men." The studious man fanned himself and stared at Ling Xian with a heated gaze, "This person is mine for the House of Qing Ming!"
Just as these people were exclaiming over Ling Xian's actions, the battle in the sky was becoming clear.
Even though Zi Dong Lai was fighting with his life on the line, he could not defend against the two powerhouses. The only reason he lasted until now was because of his belief.
Now, the motivation brought by his belief had reached its limit.
Whooosh!
A sword sliced across the sky and instantly sliced off Zi Dong Lai's left arm.
At the same time, Ning Wu Ji threw a punch that landed on Zi Dong Lai's chest.
"This moment has finally come …"
Zi Dong Lai puked out a mouthful of blood. Like a bird with broken wings, his body fell from the sky.
Seeing this, Ling Xiong frowned. He turned into a ray of light and flew across the sky. He caught Zi Dong Lai's body and slowly landed on the ground.
"Ehem … ehem … Ling Xian, thank you." Zi Dong Lai's expression was serene. There was no fear before death. Instead, he was full of relief and relief.
"Headmaster, do not worry. I have sent them out. The legacy of the Zi Yang House will not end." Ling Xian silently sighed, knowing that Zi Dong Lai was like a lamp that had run out of oil and could not hold on much longer.
This made him feel powerless and eager.
If he appeared today with the cultivation level of the completion level, then the situation would not be like this. Even if he took 10,000 steps back and couldn't kill all the people from the two forces, at the very least, he could ensure that Zi Dong Lai would not die!
Remember that he was a Heaven's Favorite with a solid foundation. Once he breaks through to the completion level, his capabilities will for sure surpass normal completion leveled cultivators and he will be able to fight against those in the intermediate stage!
Sadly, there were no ifs.
"Dammit!"
Ling Xian gritted his teeth and his hands uncontrollably tightened. Green veins popped up on his arms.
In his six years of cultivation, this was the first time he felt powerless!
It was also the first time he craved power so much!
