Inside the palace, the middle-aged man made his move without warning. His Qi was powerful and his killer's intent was clear.
This sudden turn of events stunned Ling Xian. However, he was used to seeing storms and waves. Therefore, he reacted in time and faced the middle-aged man.
HOMMM!
After a loud rumble, the shockwave spread in all directions.
Ling Xian and the man each stepped back seven steps. The Pearl of Absolute Yin was between them. Each of them was controlling half of it.
"Give me the Pearl of Absolute Yin."
The middle-aged man's face was dark. His seventh leveled cultivation exploded in an attempt to take the Pearl of Absolute Yin.
However, he could only control half of it.
Though Ling Xian's cultivation and undefeatable realm were sealed and he was now a normal cultivator, he was able to fight evenly with the man.
"I knew it. I knew the Hidden Territory's mission wouldn't be this easy."
Ling Xian stared at the middle-aged man. When he thought about this, he felt like something wasn't right.
Back then, he thought he was overthinking things. But now, he finally understood.
The reason why the creator of the Hidden Territory didn't set up any obstacles was because he knew someone would stop him from exploding the Pearl of Absolute Yin.
That person was the leader of the city!
His actions proved one thing. He took the Pearl of Absolute Yin and sacrificed his own son!
"This situation is no different than it was back then."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "You really want to sacrifice your own son?"
"It's because I don't want to. That's why I hesitated until now."
The middle-aged man spoke, "I need to thank the beasts and thank you. If you didn't help me make this decision, I wouldn't have the heart to do it."
"My decision was not to sacrifice your son."
Ling Xian sighed. He never doubted the leader. Even though the truth was right before his eyes, he found it hard to accept.
For the Pearl of Absolute Yin, this man sacrificed his own son. What a crazy man!
"Does your decision matter?"
The middle-aged man glared at Ling Xian, "Now, I call the shots."
"I will only ask one thing, is it worth it?" Ling Xian asked in a low voice.
"It is."
The middle-aged man's expression was emotionless, "Isn't it easy to have a son? What can't I get when I have the Lunar Physique? "
Hearing this, Ling Xian felt too lazy to waste any more time. All he could think about was how to get out of this situation.
It was obvious that defending the city was only the beginning of the mission. The current situation was the real challenge.
"Since you've helped me make the decision, I'll leave you with an intact corpse."
The man spoke softly. Then, nine silhouettes entered and surrounded Ling Xian.
Their expressions were icy cold and filled with killing intent. It was obvious that they were of the same mind as the middle-aged man.
Most importantly, three of them were at the peak of the Seventh Realm, and the rest were at the late stage of the Seventh Realm.
"You're really not giving me any way out."
Ling Xian sighed. There were only 10 seventh levelled cultivators in this city and they were all standing against him. This meant he could not borrow their strength to fight back.
"It really isn't easy to be a hero. The Dissimilated Man from back then couldn't turn the tide. Can I do it today?"
Ling Xian sighed deeply. If he was at his peak, one slap from him could turn these people into dust.
But at this moment, he couldn't stop the ten of them at all.
"Although I don't know what you're talking about, I'm certain that you're going to die."
The middle-aged man glared at Ling Xian, "If you know what's good for you, then let go of your hand and surrender to me. Perhaps I will spare your life."
"I can't. If I let go of the Pearl of Absolute Yin, then there really is no hope."
Ling Xian was helpless. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sealing array and his spirit lifted.
This array wasn't just a sealing array, it was also an extremely powerful offensive array. If he can activate it and take control of it, then he can turn the tables.
"Finally, I found hope."
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. He silently drew out the array and activated the array's offensive ability.
"If you don't let go, then you have no hope."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Kill him for me."
"At least give me some time."
Ling Xian was helpless and could only divert his attention to fight.
His left hand drew out the array and his right hand formed a fist. He fought against the nine people.
The result was that Ling Xian was coughing up blood.
What could he do? His battling abilities were locked and he had to deal with the man. Naturally, he couldn't defend against the nine people.
"Absorb!"
Seeing that Ling Xian was injured, the middle-aged man exploded with all his strength and pulled the Pearl of Absolute Yin towards himself.
"You think it's that easy?"
Ling Xian's eyes shot out electricity. Despite his injuries, he pulled the Pearl of Absolute Yin back.
This treasure was extremely powerful. If the man completely controls it, then he really has no hope.
Therefore, Ling Xian used most of his strength to restrict the man and only left a small amount to fight against the nine people.
Now, his situation was even worse. He was being beaten by the nine people until he was puking out blood and shaking uncontrollably.
If his physique wasn't strong enough to block most of the attacks, he would've collapsed a long time ago.
"Stubborn resistance. You don't know what's good for you."
The middle-aged man's eyes were fierce and he was a little shaken.
If it was him, he wouldn't even last a few breaths!
"I have to give it my all."
Ling Xian sighed. The Battle Immortal Bone, the Three Qing, the Eyes of Execution, and other techniques were all used to reduce some of the pressure.
However, he could not do anything alone.
He was merely a normal cultivator. Even though he had unparalleled techniques, he could only stall for time. It was difficult for him to defeat all 10 of them.
"You sure have a lot of techniques."
The middle-aged man's expression was dark, "You have shocking techniques, I have forbidden techniques!"
Just then, a thunderous hammer materialized and smashed down from the sky.
HOMMMM!
This hammer was extremely dominating. Like a heavenly axe, it was unparalleled in power and terrifying.
"Flower of Dao, bloom!"
Ling Xian shouted. The tri-colored flower spun and blocked this hammer.
However, when the other nine people swung their hammers, the flower of Dao immediately shattered.
Retch!
After a mouthful of fresh blood, Ling Xian began to waver and couldn't even stand straight.
"Accept your death!"
The middle-aged man seized this opportunity and swung his hammer to kill Ling Xian!
In the nick of time, the sealing formation suddenly burst forth with brilliant light, as if a sacred ancestor had awakened, and an extremely terrifying power erupted from it!
HOMMMM!
The heavenly energy swept across and hit the 10 people. They puked out blood and uncontrollably flung out.
"Ehem, ehem, I finally made it."
Ling Xian puked out two mouthfuls of blood and was extremely weak.
Luckily, he activated the array's ability to attack. Or else even if he didn't die, he wouldn't have been able to complete the Hidden Territory's mission.
"How can you control this array?" The middle-aged man shrieked. Everyone else was shocked as well.
"That's not the point. The point is, your end is here."
Ling Xian felt far too lazy to waste time with an illusionary person. Using the last of his energy, he activated the array.
Immediately, the heavenly energy swept across the area and crushed the 10 people!
The Hidden Territory disappeared as well.
Ling Xian was still inside the ancient city. However, it was completely barren. Only broken walls remained.
"Phew, I finally escaped the Hidden Territory."
Ling Xian exhaled deeply and couldn't help but to smile bitterly.
This was far too shocking. If he wasn't careful, he would've died.
"I have completed your mission. It's time to show yourself, young leader."
Ling Xian's foot landed on the ground. Instantly, the ground cracked open and revealed the real array.
