Inside the bamboo forest, Sun Lin's expression was dark. He wanted to get angry but couldn't find a reason.
Everyone was silent as well. The way they looked at Ling Xian was a mixture of shock and confusion.
They really couldn't figure out how Ling Xian did it. How did he get the Crown of White Phoenix without anyone noticing?
"Thank you for your generosity."
Ling Xian grinned and shifted his gaze to the Demonic Fairy, "It's a gift to you."
Then, he handed over the white phoenix crown. It was crystal clear, and phoenixes were dancing in the wind.
Seeing this, the Demonic Fairy was a little startled. Then, she accepted the crown with a smile.
This scene stunned everyone. Then, they looked at Sun Lin with pity in their eyes.
Sun Lin gave her the crown, but the Demonic Fairy rejected it without any hesitation. But Ling Xian gave it to her, and the Demonic Fairy accepted it.
This stark contrast, without a doubt, was like a slap that landed hard on Sun Lin's face.
"Lin Er, you …"
Sun Lin's lungs were about to explode from anger. He stared deadly at Ling Xian as if he could spit out fire.
Everyone exclaimed. They didn't think Ling Xian would get out of this so easily.
Sun Lin's goal was to make Ling Xian lose face. But the result was that he lost his own face. This made everyone sigh.
"You …"
The lady in blue hesitated, "Are you the Saintly Thief?"
At this, everyone froze. They all shifted their gaze towards Ling Xian, thinking that it was very possible.
They didn't know what the Saintly Thief looked like. But his amazing stealing skills were still fresh in their memories.
Without anyone noticing, Ling Xian easily obtained the white phoenix crown. With this capability, he was very similar to the legendary Saintly Thief.
"I am not the Saintly Thief." Ling Xian softly grinned and did not admit it.
Along the way, many people hated him to their bones. If he admitted it, he wouldn't be able to stop.
"You're not …"
The lady in blue stared at Ling Xian, certain that he was the Saintly Thief who appeared out of nowhere.
Everyone else thought so as well.
Ling Xian's stealing skills were amazing. Even if he wasn't the Saintly Thief, it was shocking enough.
Therefore, the way everyone looked at him changed. They were no longer looking down on him, they were looking at him with respect.
Anyone would be afraid of a person who could steal treasures at will.
"Good, very good." Sun Lin suppressed his anger and said, "I will remember you."
With that, he turned around and left, too ashamed to stay any longer.
"It seems like he hates me." Ling Xian grinned.
"Are you scared?" The Demonic Fairy played with her bangs.
"There are too many people who hate me. If everyone is afraid of me, then wouldn't my life be very tiring?" Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. He wasn't even afraid of the foreign ancestors, why would he care about an eighth leveled cultivator?
"If he dares to cause trouble for you, tell me."
The lady in blue's eyes were shining brightly. She was full of curiosity towards Ling Xian and also some admiration.
Before, she thought Ling Xian was arrogant and shameless. She felt nothing but disdain towards him. But now, all of that turned into fondness.
"Alright, I'll definitely look for you."
Ling Xian smiled and paid his respect, "I like peace and quiet. I won't disturb you any longer."
Hearing this, everyone politely returned the greeting with smiles on their faces.
They didn't want to be targeted by a thief, so of course they didn't dare to disrespect Ling Xian.
"Let's go together." The Demonic Fairy grinned. Like a fairy, she floated away.
Ling Xian followed closely behind.
This made the lady in blue very disappointed. But she couldn't shamelessly follow them. She could only watch as the two of them left.
…..
On top of the mountain peak, the Demonic Fairy was wearing a black robe that was as dark as ink. Her beauty was enough to move a city.
On her head was a white phoenix crown that emitted spiritual light. It was clear and flawless, adding to her nobility.
"I taught him a lesson for you. Next time something like this happens, don't come looking for me," Ling Xian said softly. He didn't want to be used as a shield by the Demonic Fairy.
"You really are the Saintly Thief?" The Demonic Fairy's gaze was deep as she stared at Ling Xian.
"Didn't I tell you? I am not. "Ling Xian faintly smiled, not wanting to admit it.
"You don't have to hide it from me."
The Demonic Fairy stared at Ling Xian and said, "I am certain that you are the legendary Saintly Thief." "If you are sure, then why ask me?" Ling Xian shook his head and laughed.
"I cannot believe the Saintly Thief who is famous in the City of Zhi Ge is you." The Demonic Fairy exclaimed.
The Saintly Thief's name has spread throughout the entire City of Zhi Ge. Without exaggeration, at least seven out of ten people know of him.
"Just keep it to yourself. Don't tell anyone. Or else I will be in deep trouble."
Ling Xian smiled helplessly. He has offended far too many people. Though he was not afraid of them, he found it troublesome.
It was easy to predict that if the Demonic Fairy spreads the news that he is the Saintly Thief, at least hundreds of cultivators of the eighth level will come looking for him.
"I won't hurt you. But, this is something I can use against you."
The corner of the Demonic Fairy's lips curled up. "If you don't listen to me, I will spread the news that you are the Saintly Thief. I am sure many people will come looking for you with knives."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. He knew that the Demonic Fairy was joking and wouldn't hurt him.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Zhao Shikong has to pass by right below us."
The Demonic Fairy's smile disappeared. "Do you plan on making your move when he leaves or when he returns?"
"When he goes. I don't want to wait any longer." Ling Xian thought about it.
"That's good. But, you have to be prepared."
The Demonic Fairy's expression was serious. Not only was Zhao Shikong a cultivator of the ninth level, but he was also a Heaven's Favorite who could compete against the strongest descendant of the Zhao Clan. To kill him would not be an easy task.
"With my treasures and your Needles of the Soul, there is a 70 percent chance we can kill him."
"What we need to do is to set up a trap and force him to trigger these two treasures."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. He didn't want to reveal himself. At least not until Zhao Shikong is on the verge of death.
After all, Zhao Shikong was a cultivator of the ninth level. If he doesn't die, then Ling Xian will be in deep trouble.
Therefore, he decided to set up a trap and force Zhao Shikong to trigger the Needles of the Soul.
"That's a good idea. Even if I can't kill Zhao Shikong, I can protect myself." The Demonic Fairy nodded. "But, will he fall for it?"
"He will, as long as I do it flawlessly."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. He didn't know what kind of person Zhao Shikong was. But based on the fact that he took away the entire inheritance because he couldn't get it, it was obvious that he was greedy.
Therefore, he decided to fake a place of inheritance to bait Zhao Shikong into taking the bait.
Ling Xian stepped out one step. Instantly, the mountain peak shook and split in half.
Then, he flapped around his sleeve and tossed all the treasures into the mountain peak.
In an instant, spiritual light filled the sky, dazzling and resplendent. Anyone who saw it would inevitably be tempted.
Then, Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve. An array of runes materialized and covered the entire mountain peak.
This array wasn't high leveled and wasn't very powerful. A cultivator of the ninth level could easily break it.
The reason why Ling Xian set up this array was to confuse Zhao Shikong and make him think that this really was an inheritance.
"It's about time."
Ling Xian softly grinned and carefully took out the Needles of the Soul and the black ball.
