Looking at the faintly discernible Dragon Locking Array, the elder froze. He finally understood why Ling Xian didn't stop him.
Then, the joy in his eyes turned into hopelessness and bitterness.
The Array of Dragon Locking Array was something he prepared to prevent Ling Xian from escaping. Yet it became the fatal object that ended his life. Why wouldn't he feel bitter?
At this moment, the elder was full of regret. He hated himself for setting up the Array of Dragon Locking Array!
What Array of Dragon Locking Array? It was a life lock! His life was locked!
"Thank you for your reminder. Or else I wouldn't have taken control of this array." Ling Xian grinned with some mockery.
Hearing this, the elder almost puked blood. He felt like he was a joke, a giant joke!
The array he set up was taken by Ling Xian and his last chance of survival was taken away. How laughable was this?
The elder's lungs were about to explode from anger. However, there was nothing he could do.
He finally understood that even if this array didn't block his way, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"You win. But remember, the Da Luo House will not forgive you." The elder clenched his teeth, his face full of hatred.
"To make me your enemy over a dead person, I don't think the Da Luo House is that stupid."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Even if the Da Luo House came looking for him, he wasn't afraid.
"Just wait and see. Very soon, you will join me!" The elder stared deadly at Ling Xian. Like a ghost, he was eerie and terrifying.
However, this did not scare Ling Xian.
He glared at the elder, "Stop dreaming. Even if the Da Luo House makes a move, they cannot do anything to me."
Hearing this, the elder silenced and became even more bitter.
Even though the Da Luo House was a top force with many seventh leveled cultivators, how vast was the world? If Ling Xian wanted to hide, it would be very difficult to find him.
"Don't worry, I will let you live a little longer. You have some value after all."
Ling Xian spoke coldly. His deathly light bloomed and before the elder's shocked gaze, he crushed his physical body.
His soul, on the other hand, was trapped by Ling Xian's array and was not destroyed along with him.
"What are you doing?! If you want to kill me, then kill me! "The elder panicked, afraid that Ling Xian would torture him.
"I won't torture you, but only if you cooperate."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "If you don't cooperate, you can imagine the consequences."
"Dream on! I won't cooperate with you even if I die!" The old man gnashed his teeth.
"Is that so? I believe you will cooperate." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. His Qi of Fire emerged and wrapped around the elder's soul.
Instantly, screams of pain reverberated in the air, each louder and more miserable than the last.
The old man was in excruciating pain. In just a few breaths of time, he couldn't hold on any longer. He begged for mercy, "I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate. Ask whatever you want."
"If you had agreed earlier, why would you have to suffer?"
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as he dispersed his Qi of Fire. He asked, "I want to know the situation of the Black Tortoise Continent these past three years. Or rather, it's the movements of the Evil Sect. "
"That's all you want to know?" The old man was stunned.
"What else?" Ling Xian frowned, "Hurry up and tell me. I don't have time to waste with you."
Hearing this, the old man wanted to cry but no tears came out. He was so angry that he wanted to bang his head against the wall and die.
If he knew Ling Xian was asking about the situation of the continent, he wouldn't have been so stubborn. After all, it wasn't a secret and he could've asked anyone.
But he mistakenly thought Ling Xian wanted to know about the Da Luo House's secrets and suffered for nothing. Who wouldn't be angry?
"Hurry up and tell me. Or else you will have to experience the pain of the Fire of Immortality again."
Ling Xian said coldly. The old man shuddered and his soul almost left his body.
The pain of the Fire of Immortality was something he never wanted to experience again.
The old man didn't dare to hesitate any longer and told Ling Xian about the situation of the continent these past three years.
"Three years ago, the Holy Land of Taichu gathered all the Supreme Headmasters and declared that the Evil Sect wanted to take over the continent."
"Then, the Evil Sect made a high-profile comeback. But they didn't launch a large-scale attack. There were only small conflicts."
"However, one year later, which is two years ago, the Demon Sect destroyed a top-notch force at the speed of lightning and officially declared war on the entire continent."
"In the following year, the flames of war rose everywhere, and the flames of war never ceased."
The old man told Ling Xian about the major events that happened in the past three years. Ling Xian frowned and couldn't help but sigh.
The Evil Sect started a war after all.
This meant the Xuan Wu Continent would no longer have a peaceful day. Whether they won or lost, the flames of war would burn the sky and blood would flow.
"What about the situation now? Which side has the upper hand? "Ling Xian asked.
"In general, it is in a state of balance."
"Even though the Evil Sect is at a disadvantage in terms of top-notch powerhouses, the other forces are not united. Every single one of them is holding back."
"Therefore, the two sides are in a state of balance. No one has the upper hand."
The old man answered honestly and didn't dare to hide anything.
"This is the despicable side of human nature." Ling Xian softly sighed. He understood what the other forces were doing.
Unless they were forced to a certain point, no force would use their full strength. Even if they won the war, they would be greatly weakened. If they were not careful, the other forces would take advantage of the situation.
After all, the relationships between the top forces were never harmonious. Some were even competitive.
However, Ling Xian didn't agree.
Though there was nothing wrong with what they were doing, the Evil Sect's desire to dominate was obvious. Did they have to wait until it was a matter of life and death before they were willing to use their full strength?
"Luckily, at least we are in a state of balance. It hasn't reached the worst state yet." Ling Xian exclaimed. This was a blessing in disguise.
"It won't reach the worst state. What can the Evil Sect do?"
The old man smiled proudly, "When all the forces come to an agreement, we will for sure be able to destroy the Evil Sect!"
"Do you know what I was thinking after hearing what you just said?"
Ling Xian glared at the old man. He wasn't sure about the Supreme Demon Shadow's background, but he knew that he wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't confident in.
Even if the Supreme Demon Shadow went crazy, the Evil Sect wouldn't go crazy with him.
"What?" The old man was startled.
"I am praying. I am praying that not everyone is as stupid as you."
"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'arrogance leads to defeat'? Ignoring everything else, their arrogance alone has caused the Xuan Wu Continent to be at a disadvantage. "
"Plus, you have to understand one thing. The Evil Sect has been hiding for 100,000 years. If they weren't confident, why would they launch an all-out attack?"
"This time, it won't be a small fight like before. It will for sure end with one side falling!"
Ling Xian glared at the old man. Every word he said made sense.
This silenced the old man. He wanted to argue, but he had nothing to say.
"Okay, I understand the situation. Let's go."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. Waving his hand, the True Fire of Purity poured out and turned the old man into ashes.
Then, he tore apart space and left the Lang Ya House.
The Lang Ya House was very strange. It was hard to enter, but easy to leave. All he had to do was break the space.
Therefore, Ling Xian easily left the Lang Ya House. Then, he unluckily ran into trouble.
