On the ground, Ling Xian's expression appeared calm and emotionless. However, the reality was that his heart was full of helplessness and desire.
Because Zi Dong Lai was about to die, he was powerless.
"Completion!"
Ling Xian's fists tightened as he repeated these two words silently. His gaze turned determined.
The completion level, he had to reach it!
"Ehem, ehem …"
Zi Dong Lai puked out more blood. As if sensing Ling Xian's unwillingness, he forced a smile, "Ling Xian, you don't owe the House of Zi Yang anything. It's the House of Zi Yang that owes you far too much. So, don't even think about avenging me. This responsibility is not something you should take on. "
"Not me?"
Ling Xian frowned, understanding what Zi Dong Lai meant. He nodded, "Headmaster, I understand. Do not worry, I will teach your son and daughter well. I will help them rebuild the House of Zi Yang and avenge you."
Instantly, Zi Dong Lai revealed a relaxed smile, "Ling Xian, thank you. If there is a next life, ehem … ehem … even if I have to work for you, I will repay your kindness."
Then, he began to cough violently. His breathing grew weaker and weaker. It was obvious that he could not hold on much longer.
"Can't hold on any longer …" Zi Dong Lai chuckled. His right hand gripped onto Ling Xian's sleeve tightly and he begged, "Ling Xian, I beg you one last time. You have to, you have to let Hua Shang and Ying Xiong …"
However, before he could finish his sentence, his head tilted to the side. The arm that was gripping onto Ling Xian's sleeve dropped to the ground.
However, Ling Xian understood what Zi Dong Lai wanted to say. He wanted Zi Hua Shang and Zi Ying Xiong to rebuild the House of Zi Yang.
"Aye, Headmaster, don't worry and leave. I will teach your son and daughter well and help them rebuild the House of Zi Yang." Ling Xian sighed and closed Zi Dong Lai's eyes with his right hand. Then, he picked up his body and slowly stood up.
One of the reasons he stayed behind was to leave with Zi Dong Lai's body. At the very least, he wanted everyone to see the Headmaster one last time.
However, before Ling Xian could take a step forward, two silhouettes descended from the sky and blocked his way.
"Hehe, there's a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it. There's no door to hell, but you come willingly."
Ning Wu Ji coldly smiled. Looking at the handsome young man before him, he said, "If you had left back then, we wouldn't have been able to stop you. But you didn't. How stupid."
"Ling Xian, give up and I will spare your life." Li Jian's expression was frigid. Pointing his sword at Ling Xian, his killer's intent locked onto him.
"Spare my life?"
Ling Xian revealed a cold grin, "First, destroy my cultivation, then spare my life, right?"
"Smart, you're too dangerous. I can't let an enemy with unlimited potential live in this world." The corner of Li Jian's lips curled up, revealing a victorious smile. "Ling Xian, I really don't know if I should call you arrogant or stupid. You sent yourself to my doorstep."
"Arrogant? Stupid? "
Ling Xian softly shook his head. His act of stopping everyone was not arrogant or stupid. It was because he had the confidence to leave safely.
Though he cannot kill any completion leveled powerhouse, at the same time, nobody can stop him.
This was the reason why he was so confident after becoming the victor of the foundational level!
"Brother Li, let's not waste any more time with this person. Let's take him down." Ning Wu Ji snickered.
Li Jian nodded softly and grinned, "Ling Xian, go to hell."
Then, in a flash, his sword shone brightly and headed towards Ling Xian.
At the same time, Ning Wu Ji's claws slashed out. Ten claws howled out with enough power to split the sky and split the earth!
Against the two completion leveled powerhouses, Ling Xian's eyes flashed and the Winged Blitz appeared!
His snow white wings blotted out the sky, and as he slowly unfurled them, numerous pure white feathers drooped down, giving him a luxurious and holy appearance.
"Li Jian, Ning Wu Ji, the two of you cannot stop me."
Then, Ling Xian dragged Zi Dong Lai's body with both of his hands. Fluttering his wings, he flew out of the two powerhouses' encirclement.
However, Li Jian and Ning Wu Ji were completion leveled powerhouses after all. Though they were shocked by Ling Xian's speed, their movements were not slow.
Just as Ling Xian brushed past them, the two of them attacked again.
Whooosh!
A sword sliced across the sky. Its light shone through the nine continents, revealing its sharpness!
The claw howled and the gold light was blinding. It was full of killer's intent!
"Hmmph!"
Ling Xian coldly hissed, knowing that if he tries to stop them, then he won't be able to leave today. Therefore, he chose to use the Armor of the Royal Spirits.
An infinite amount of heavenly light bloomed. The Armor of the Royal Spirits was known to be able to defend against 3,000 demons. Its defensive capabilities were the best in the world. However, it was an attack from two completion leveled powerhouses. Unless Ling Xian was also of the completion level, the Armor of the Royal Spirits could not defend against it.
BOOOM!
After an earth-shattering rumble, the two attacks landed on Ling Xian's body. Blood dripped down from the corner of his lips.
However, his speed did not slow down. Like before, he was still as agile as ever. Like the wind, like thunder, he dashed across the sky.
Whooosh!
The Winged Blitz was known as the fastest in the world and was comparable to the legendary roc. Its speed was naturally unimaginable.
Especially now that Ling Xian was of the victor of the foundational level, his speed was even faster. It was like a meteor streaking across the sky, leaving behind a long afterimage that lingered for a long time.
"Hmmph, so what you are fast? I will kill you all the same! "
Ning Wu Ji formed a hand seal and an infinite amount of black fog poured out from all directions and drowned the silhouette before him.
Instantly, Ling Xian frowned. As if he was stuck in a swamp, his speed slowed down.
Then, a sharp sword sliced across the sky and headed towards the center of his brows.
"Hmmph, get the f * ck out of my way!"
Ling Xian shouted coldly. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior unleashed its power. Like the weapon of the God of Warrior, it swept in all directions with unstoppable force!
BOOOM!
The sword and the Halberd clashed and the sword's light dissipated. However, Ling Xian also stumbled back three steps. His blood boiled from the impact.
He had been fighting so many battles and his body was already heavily injured. However, he had been suppressing his injuries. After all, he was not of the completion level yet. To be able to last this long with foundational Qi was already a miracle.
This was obvious from the expressions of the completion leveled cultivators on top of the mountain peak.
Every single one of their faces was flickering with shock. Watching Ling Xian, who was once again battling against the two completion leveled cultivators, their eyes were full of complexity.
There was shock, exclamation, and a hint of defeat.
"Phew … Ling Xian sure is good. He fought against completion leveled cultivators with foundational Qi. How heaven-defying." Yan Ning Zhi's third grandpa sighed.
"To be honest, even if it was me, I wouldn't have been able to last this long." The studious man no longer fanned himself. The playful smile on his face had disappeared as well. All that remained was shock.
"You have only seen his capabilities. I have seen his personality." A white-haired old lady suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention to her.
Against everyone's confused stares, the white-haired old lady spoke softly, "Based on what I know, Ling Xian is merely an honorable guest of the House of Zi Yang. There is no need for him to risk his life for the House. With his capabilities, if he drew a line between himself and the House of Zi Yang and left, nobody here could stop him. Li Jian Yi and Ning Wu Ji are not stupid enough to stop a powerhouse of the foundational level. "
Pausing, the old lady continued, "But Ling Xian did not leave. Not only did he send out the surviving cultivators, but he also blocked them all by himself. Now, he is risking his life to bring Zi Dong Lai's body with him. Isn't this enough to prove his personality?"
Hearing this, everyone was silent. After a long while, the completion leveled cultivators all sighed in unison. The compliment in their eyes intensified.
"What a loyal and loyal foundational cultivator. This kind of personality is rare."
"That's right. In this world of cultivators that is full of deceit and betrayal, it can be said that such people are very rare."
"That's right. I want Ling Xian more and more. A Heaven's Favorite with such a personality and potential … if any House has him, they will be able to prosper for a long time!"
Everyone chimed in. Their eyes were full of passion and they wanted to bring Ling Xian back to their House.
"If that's the case, then what are you all waiting for?" The white-haired elder suddenly spoke with a faint smile, "If we don't make a move soon, this Heaven's Favorite will die here."
Instantly, the completion leveled cultivators were startled. Then, they all reacted and dashed towards the cloud of fog.
"Everyone, please make your move!"
The white-haired elder shouted. He formed a hand seal and once again, a ray of heavenly light shot out of his hand.
At the same time, the other completion leveled cultivators made their moves as well. They all displayed their techniques and headed towards the cloud of fog.
BOOOM!
There were five completion leveled cultivators in total. Every single one of them came from a top House and their capabilities were naturally dominating. Now that they were making their moves together, their demeanor was earth shattering and incomparably frightening!
Immediately, the black fog dissipated, revealing the silhouettes of three people.
"Ehem … ehem …" Ling Xian's black hair was in a mess and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He looked very exhausted.
This was normal. He was already heavily injured and he had to take care of Zi Dong Lai's body. The fact that he was able to survive until now was already an unbelievable feat.
Li Jian and Ning Wu Ji weren't doing too well either. They were more or less injured and their breathing was a little messed up.
"Dammit!"
Ning Wu Ji cursed. Thinking about how their alliance could not defeat an injured foundational cultivator, he was infuriated. However, as much as he was angry, he was also shocked.
Li Jian felt the same. However, he was calmer than Ning Wu Ji and knew that this was not the time to be angry. He shifted his gaze towards the five completion leveled cultivators and frowned, "Brothers, you want to protect this person?"
"That's right." The scholarly man waved his fan and uttered out a statement that was calm and unquestionable.
"Headmaster Li, let him go."
Instantly, Li Jian and Ning Wu Ji's faces darkened. The two of them could hear the unquestionable tone in the scholarly man's voice and saw the killer's intent on the five completion leveled cultivators' faces.
Therefore, they remained silent and didn't speak.
After a long while, Li Jian and Ning Wu Ji exchanged glances and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Aye, whatever. We will do as you say."
Li Jian sighed deeply. Against the threat of five completion leveled cultivators, unless he gives up his life, he has no choice but to yield.
Hearing this, Ling Xian sighed in relief. He knew that today's crisis was over.
That was the end of this.
