The Trading Island was the wealthiest and most prosperous island out of the 36 islands.
The economy of this island was very developed and countless merchants gathered there. It was known as the heaven of cultivators and was the destination of everyone on the 36 islands.
Here, as long as you have enough spiritual stones, you can buy most of the things you want. Whether it was a rare treasure in the world, a divine ability that shook the seas, or a peerless beauty that could cause the downfall of a nation.
Here, it was common for people to get rich overnight. As long as you have a brain and a pair of sharp eyes, you can find many business opportunities and walk up to the upper class.
"We are finally here …"
Staring at the giant island before him, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. After floating on the ocean for more than three months, he was finally here.
The others also heaved a sigh of relief, and a trace of anticipation flashed across their faces. It was as if he was looking at a peerless beauty who was smiling sweetly and waving at him.
Bai Xiao Qi, on the other hand, had a complex expression. Very quickly, however, her expression turned determined and she mumbled, "No matter what, I have to go back. I have to."
Then, her eyes flashed with determination. She planned on asking for Ling Xian's help. However, when she looked to her side, she realized in shock that the man in white was no longer there.
"This bastard!"
Bai Xiao Qi stomped her foot in anger. Even though she was feeling sad right now, she was still infuriated by Ling Xian.
Don't forget, Ling Xian was just showing his concern for her. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. How could she not be angry?
"Bastard, big bastard! How can he be like this? He forgot about me in the blink of an eye. " Bai Xiao Qi gritted her teeth. She searched around and finally found the skinny silhouette on the shore.
Then, she quickly made her way to the shore.
Everyone else got off the boat as well. The elder and the young man who were taught a lesson by Ling Xian before also got off the boat.
"Hmmph, when I get back to the Clan, I will send someone to take his dog life!" The young man's expression was ferocious and the way he looked at Ling Xian was full of hatred.
The grey robed elder reacted the same. His wrinkled face was full of killer's intent. He silently swore to himself that when he gets back to the Clan, he will report to his master and ask him to send someone to kill Ling Xian.
However, just as the resentment on their faces appeared, it quickly turned into shock.
Because they heard a cold snort.
It was a cold snort, as if a Heavenly Venerable was enraged.
Instantly, the two's expressions changed drastically and they spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You two, are you tired of living?" Ling Xian slowly turned around. How sensitive was his soul? Even if he wasn't on guard, he could still feel the murderous intent from the master and servant duo.
"This is the last time. If you dare to provoke me again, don't blame me for taking your lives." Ling Xian's expression was calm as he glared at the two of them.
Instantly, the old man and the young man began to sweat profusely. They stared at Ling Xian and left without looking back. They didn't even dare to say a word.
"The moment I stepped into the Trading Island, I started a feud. I hope they'll be smarter and not provoke me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless. " Ling Xian shook his head softly. He understood what the two of them were trying to say, but he didn't think too much of it.
"Xian Ling!"
Bai Xiao Qi screamed and ran towards Ling Xian in a hurry to ask for his help.
However, before she could get to Ling Xian, a black silhouette suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
Whooosh!
A sword sliced across the sky with killer's intent. It headed straight for the young girl's throat!
Instantly, Bai Xiao Qi's expression changed. She quickly waved her hand and formed a barrier that blocked the fatal attack!
Sadly, she has always been a flower that grew up in a greenhouse and lacked battle experience. Therefore, she didn't realize that the real killer's intent wasn't from this sword, but from the man in black behind her.
Whooosh!
The sword sliced across the sky like a snake leaving its cave. Though it was only the first time it appeared, it was a fatal strike!
At that moment, Bai Xiao Qi's hair stood up. She turned around in a hurry but couldn't defend in time. Her face turned white and her eyes were full of hopelessness.
Sadly, her helplessness did not evoke any pity from the man before her. Not only did the sword not retract, but it was also moving even faster and even more ruthless!
It's over!
Bai Xiao Qi's face was full of sorrow. Against the merciless sword, there was only one thought in her head.
Luckily, she wasn't the only one here. Just as the sword was about to touch Bai Xiao Qi's throat, Ling Xian made his move.
He shook his head helplessly. Then, he curled up his middle finger and flicked at the sword.
There was no surge of divine light, and there was no whistling of aura. However, with just a gentle flick of his finger, the long sword was broken into two!
Instantly, the two men in black had a change of expression. They exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"He's too strong. Let's go!"
The two of them said in unison. In a flash, they retreated.
However, since Ling Xian had already made his move, why would he let them escape? Rolling up his sleeve, an infinite amount of suction was emitted. The two men who were already in the air quivered and fell to the ground.
"You come and go as you please. I say, you two are looking down on me." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. But no matter how you look at it, his smile was cold.
"Dammit, how can this person be so powerful?"
The two masked men cursed under their breath, knowing that they will not be able to complete their mission. Therefore, they exchanged glances. Then, they silently gathered their Qi and broke their own meridians!
Seeing this, Ling Xian dashed forward in an attempt to stop them. Sadly, by the time he got to the two of them, they had already collapsed onto the ground. They were no longer breathing.
"It looks like these two are trained killers." Ling Xian frowned. Glancing at Bai Xiao Qi, who was walking over slowly, he sighed, "Aye, I got myself into trouble again."
Bai Xiao Qi's face was pale white but her eyes were full of gratitude, "Xian Ling … thank you for saving my life again."
"It was nothing."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. Remembering how helpless Bai Xiao Qi was on the boat, he sighed, "It looks like someone wants to take your life. Because of you, I got myself into trouble."
Bai Xiao Qi's face was white. She didn't think someone would attack her the moment she got off the boat. She knew very well what this meant. She bitterly smiled, "I am sorry, I dragged you into this."
"There's no point in saying this now."
Ling Xian frowned. Though he didn't know much about Bai Xiao Qi's background, he could roughly guess that she was from an extraordinary family. Yet at this moment, someone was attacking her without mercy. What did this mean?
Ling Xian wasn't sure. But he knew very well that if he helped Bai Xiao Qi, he would be dragging himself into a terrifying whirlpool. Therefore, he sighed, "You and I have only met by chance. I cannot help you too much. Take care of yourself."
Then, he turned around and walked forward. However, after two steps, he couldn't help but turn around. But after turning around halfway, he turned back.
Then, he marched forward.
Seeing this, Bai Xiao Qi didn't try to stop him. Because Ling Xian was right.
He and she had only met by chance. He had no obligation to help her, and she had no reason to drag him into a whirlpool.
Watching Ling Xian's back as he walked away, Bai Xiao Qi seemed to have lost her last hope. She collapsed onto the ground powerlessly.
In the next second, sadness washed over her and her eyes turned red.
Burying her head between her knees, her shoulders quivered and two streams of tears fell.
Drip, drip.
One drop, two drops … they formed into a single thread that fell to the ground and turned into an infinite amount of sadness.
Her weak and pitiful look was like a flower in a storm. Everyone who passed by looked at her, but nobody extended a helping hand.
"Aye …"
Looking at the helpless Bai Xiao Qi, Ling Xian's heart softened. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Oh well, since I have chosen to help, then I will help until the end."
Then, he marched towards Bai Xiao Qi. Though he didn't want to get himself into trouble, he couldn't bring himself to let a girl sit there and cry all by herself.
"He … he still doesn't want to help me …"
Bai Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with tears. She hugged her knees and allowed the sea wind to blow by. Her body was shivering from the cold.
Just as she was about to fall into despair, a gentle but somewhat helpless voice arose. Like the spring wind, it warmed her heart.
"Don't cry. Meeting you is my bad luck. I will help you, okay?"
