Inside the palace, Ling Xian did not dodge or block. He allowed the poison to land on his body.
This made the saintess lose her composure. The man and the elder were a little shaken as well.
The elder, in particular, knew very well how terrifying his poison was. The void also proved this.
If it wasn't strong, how could it dissolve the void?
Yet against such a terrifying poison, Ling Xian did not do anything. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
"Interesting. Is it confidence or arrogance?"
The elder squinted his eyes. The snake hissed and the poison dripped down, melting the mountain rocks.
"Of course I'm confident. It's merely poison, it cannot hurt me."
Ling Xian softly smiled. The poison that landed on his body disappeared without a sound. Not only did it not hurt him, it didn't even damage his clothes.
This made the saintess's pupils constrict. Her worry turned into shock.
She had seen how powerful the poison was. If she was in his shoes, she wouldn't have been able to defend against it even if she used all her strength.
Yet Ling Xian calmly dealt with it. Not even his clothes were damaged. How powerful was this?
The man and the elder were a little shaken as well. The way they looked at Ling Xian turned more serious.
Blocking the venom wasn't a big deal, and not injuring anyone by mistake wasn't shocking either. However, not being able to see what kind of technique he had used was a little unbelievable.
Therefore, the two of them finally looked at Ling Xian seriously.
"You sure have some tricks. You were able to dissolve my poison without anyone noticing."
The elder squinted. The snake hissed, expressing its dissatisfaction at not being able to hurt Ling Xian.
"If I didn't have some confidence, how could I not do anything?"
Ling Xian glared at the two of them, "You two tried to kill me the moment you entered. If I wasn't capable enough, I would've died."
Hearing this, the saintess's face turned white. Because it was obvious from his tone, he was going to punish him.
She quickly signaled for Ling Xian to stop talking.
Sadly, Ling Xian didn't see it. Or in other words, he didn't want to care.
If this was before, he wouldn't punish him. After all, he was facing two seventh leveled cultivators. But today was different. He was also a seventh leveled cultivator. There was no need for him to hold back.
"You are going to punish me … what an interesting young man."
The man shook his head and laughed, "I made a move to test if you are qualified to be a Supreme Elder."
"Then did you get your answer?" Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. He manipulated the Primitive Technique and waited.
This was to prevent the man from seeing through his disguise and suddenly attacking.
"Of course. You have the right to be the Great Elder of the Demonic House." The man smiled, making the saintess sigh in relief. She thought he approved of Ling Xian.
She immediately smiled and said, "Senior, this is my Devil Sect's Sect Master, and that is my Devil Sect's Chief Supreme Elder."
"I guessed it." Ling Xian nodded softly. These two were at the peak of the seventh level, how could their identities be ordinary?
"There's no need to introduce him. I haven't acknowledged him yet." The Demon Sect Master's expression was indifferent.
"Sect Master, didn't you say that Senior is qualified?" The Saintess was slightly taken aback.
"It's just a qualification. I didn't say he's the supreme elder."
The Demon Sect Master's gaze was deep as he shifted it towards Ling Xian, "I have never seen you and I have never heard of your name. What gives you the right to call yourself the Supreme Elder of the Demonic House?"
"Don't use the excuse that you've been living overseas to fool us. Even if you've been living under the sea, you should be recorded on the Demon Sect's Register."
The elder squinted his eyes. The Black Water Mystical Snake stood up straight and looked like it was about to pounce.
"Just because I'm not on the Register doesn't mean I'm not." Ling Xian's expression was calm and collected as if he really was the Supreme Elder of the Demonic House.
"I don't want to hear explanations. I only want evidence."
The man's smile didn't diminish, but there was a hidden sharpness, "If you can show me evidence, then I will welcome it. It's not impossible for me to give you the Grass of the Netherworld. But if you can't, you know what will happen to you. "
"The blood of a seventh level powerhouse. My little pet will love it." The elder teased. The Black Viper, Scorpion, and Gold Spider all screamed at the same time, making the saintess's face whiter.
"Evidence …"
Ling Xian's heart dropped. Where did he have evidence? The identity of the Grand Elder was purely fabricated by him to push the boat along with the current.
Therefore, he fell into silence.
This made the saintess frown and look at Ling Xian with uncertainty.
"It looks like you have no evidence. If that's the case, then you can go on your way."
The man erased his smile. Demonic shadows flickered in and out of his eyes as he unleashed a shocking amount of Qi.
The elder was the same. Especially the Black Water Mystical Snake. Every time it spat out venom, it melted the void.
"Wait a minute!"
The saintess stood before the two of them, "It doesn't matter if he is the Supreme Elder or not. He saved my life. Are you going to kill my savior?"
"It's true that he saved your life. But his intentions are not pure. How can we let him live?" The man frowned. At once, electricity appeared in the air and danced in all directions.
The amount of Qi was enough to destroy an entire mountain peak.
This made the saintess's expression change. Ling Xian's expression changed as well.
The situation was very clear. If he can't show them evidence, the man and the elder will not let him go. With the strength of these two people, they were more than enough to suppress him.
Therefore, Ling Xian used this opportunity to think of a way out of this situation.
"Supreme Headmaster, can't you give me some face and let him go?" The saintess argued.
"There is no room for discussion. Even if he isn't a spy sent by some force, he is someone with bad intentions. We cannot let him go." The man brandished his arm. His killer's intent was on full display.
Seeing this, the saintess panicked. She looked at Ling Xian hopefully, "Senior, I believe you. Show me your evidence."
"If he had evidence, he would've shown it a long time ago. Just because he knows the demonic language doesn't mean he is the Supreme Elder."
The Head Elder coldly snickered and was about to speak when Ling Xian interrupted him.
"Who said I don't have evidence?"
Ling Xian glared at him, "The reason why I am silent is because this is very important."
Hearing this, the saintess revealed a look of joy. The leader and the Head Elder, on the other hand, frowned.
"This is a big secret. I can only tell the Supreme Headmaster. Everyone else, please leave." Ling Xian spoke softly and calmly.
Just now, he had thought of an excuse to prove himself. Though it may not work, it was the only way.
"Interesting. I sure want to see what you have to say."
The leader of the Demon House was intrigued, "Saintess, Head Elder, you two leave first."
Hearing this, the Head Elder and the saintess nodded and left the palace.
Before leaving, the saintess glanced at Ling Xian. There was worry and anticipation.
"Now, you can speak."
The leader of the Demon House squinted his eyes and coldness flashed, "You only have one chance. Think carefully before you speak."
"I have thought it through. There is no need for you to worry."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as he made a shocking statement.
"I come from a foreign land. The people here call me a demon from a foreign land."
At those words, the leader of the Demon House subconsciously stepped back as if he was struck by lightning.
He stared deadly at Ling Xian. There was some suspicion, some shock, and some fear in his eyes.
"Is it very shocking?"
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I know you don't believe me. But it's okay. I can prove it."
