At the bottom of the river, many treasures were emitting light to warn the guards.
Sadly, the moment the light shone, it disappeared.
Ling Xian made his move aggressively. Using techniques, he destroyed many treasures without alerting the four middle aged men.
This meant he passed. Whether it was the guards, the arrays, or the treasures, nothing could stop him.
One has to admit that this was unbelievable.
Though the process seemed simple, it was heart-wrenching. One mistake and Ling Xian would've fallen into an unrecoverable state.
If this was anyone else, they wouldn't even be able to pass the four middle aged men.
"Luckily, I am a grandmaster of both arrays and arrays. Luckily, I know how to break through all these treasures. Or else I would've been defeated."
Ling Xian smiled in relief. Then, he marched forward in giant steps and entered the river.
A few dozen breaths later, a towering mountain appeared in his line of sight. Although it didn't emit any divine light, it contained the rhythm of the Dao and was extremely extraordinary.
"It seems like this is the inheritance of the thief." Ling Xian softly smiled and sighed in relief.
However, in the next instant, his expression darkened.
This was because the entire mountain peak was covered in inhibition spells. Halfway up the mountain, there was a decree that locked down the mountain peak.
This made Ling Xian frown. He felt troubled.
With his knowledge of arrays and arrays, it wasn't hard to break through them. What was difficult was that he didn't have much time.
The spirits would at most sleep for half an hour. After they wake up, they will for sure find him and make him pay.
In other words, Ling Xian must break through all the inhibition spells within half an hour. This was going to be a little troublesome.
"What can I do? I have to give it my all."
Ling Xian's gaze turned determined. He raised his hand and runes appeared.
Instantly, all the inhibition spells on the mountain peak began to shine. The gold decree, in particular, shone brightly like the Sun and was blinding.
However, under Ling Xian's intentional concealment, no matter how bright the light was, it wouldn't disturb the four middle aged men.
"Break!"
Ling Xian's eyes shot out electricity. Every single movement he made displayed his shocking knowledge of arrays and arrays.
If there was someone here who specialized in arrays and arrays, they would be shocked. Even a grandmaster would exclaim.
What could they do? Ling Xian was far too heaven-defying. He had trained in arrays, alchemy, and crafts and had stepped into the grandmaster realm. This was unprecedented!
Boom boom boom!
In just a short period of time, 70% of the restrictions on the mountain had been destroyed, and only 30% were still resisting stubbornly.
"I've already used up half of the time. I can't waste any more time."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. He didn't have much time. If he couldn't leave before the spirits awakened, then he wouldn't be able to leave the Zhao Clan.
At that moment, his black hair danced in the wind and he completely went berserk.
Boom!
Runes shocked the world and arrays filled the sky. Ling Xian's knowledge of arrays had reached the peak of perfection. He broke the last inhibition spell on the mountain.
However, it was unable to shatter the golden decree.
This item was not a magic treasure, nor was it a restriction. Instead, it was a Divine Sense.
If Ling Xian wasn't wrong, this was the spiritual energy of the Venerable Elder. Breaking it wouldn't be hard, but it would alert the ninth leveled cultivator.
"Troublesome."
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He knew that the only way to safely leave with Shan Yue was to take it off without destroying it.
At once, the space between Ling Xian's brows shone and the enlivener formed a hand seal.
Seven-colored heavenly light swirled around and mysterious rhythms rose. The enlivener sat in midair in a lotus position. Its expression was solemn like an ancient Buddha.
"I will try my best." Ling Xian mumbled. He carefully controlled the enlivener to take off the golden decree.
Taking it off wasn't hard. After all, it was merely a Divine Sense. Ling Xian's Qi was incomparably powerful and far surpassed others of the same level. What was hard was not to destroy the decree.
This was a test of Ling Xian's control over his strength. He couldn't do too much and he couldn't do too little.
Luckily, his control has always been good. Therefore, despite the difficulty, he succeeded in the end.
"Success. As long as I can safely leave the Zhao Clan, everything will be over." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he exhaled deeply.
This trip didn't have any powerful opponents. It was a battle of life and death. However, the difficulty was no less than the battle against Zhao Shi Kong.
After all, to walk to the inheritance ground, one must pass three tests. In other words, one must be proficient in the art of hiding one's breath, arrays, and techniques to break treasures.
Without a doubt, these were extremely harsh requirements. This also didn't include the spirit of the Mirror of Reflection. If it did, it would be even more difficult to climb up to the sky.
Only Ling Xian, who was well-versed in many things, could fulfill these harsh requirements and successfully obtain the inheritance ground.
"I finally got it."
Staring at the heavy mountain peak, Ling Xian softly smiled. Then, his palm began to emit light. Using the Heavenly Thief's Hand, he uprooted the mountain and put it into his storage pouch.
Then, he turned into a ray of light and left without a sound.
Before long, the spirit will awaken. As long as Ling Xian is in the Zhao Clan, he will not be able to escape the spirit's control.
Therefore, he had to use every second he had to leave the Zhao Clan.
Without a sound, Ling Xian sliced across the sky. Activating the Heaven Shadowing Array to its extreme, he once again escaped the four middle-aged men's detection.
It was as if they were dead. They allowed Ling Xian to come and go as he pleased without noticing.
It wasn't their fault. It was just that Ling Xian's methods were far too mysterious. Even those of the ninth level wouldn't be able to find out if they didn't investigate carefully.
"Not bad."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Staring at the Zhao Clan's gate, he dashed forward like a shooting star.
However, just as he was about to leave the Zhao Clan, he suddenly felt a giant wave of Qi descend from above.
Like a God, like a real immortal, the Qi was undefeatable. In an instant, Ling Xian was frozen where he stood.
"Dammit, the spirit of the Heaven Reflecting Mirror has awakened."
Ling Xian's heart dropped. In the entire Zhao Clan, only the Heaven Reflecting Mirror could lock onto him. Only this treasure could stop him from fighting back.
"Young man, I can't believe you tricked me."
The emotionless voice was like thunder, making Ling Xian bitterly smile.
Based on his calculations, there was enough time. However, plans never keep up with changes. Who would've thought that the Heaven Reflecting Mirror would awaken earlier than expected.
"Destiny is not on my side." Ling Xian softly sighed. He was not flustered and he was not afraid.
"You sure are calm."
The Heaven Reflecting Mirror spoke softly, "Speak, what did you do to the Zhao Clan?"
"I took back what belongs to my elders."
Ling Xian's eyes were deep, "This item doesn't belong to the Zhao Clan. I have the right to take it back."
"Perhaps. I don't care what you took or whose item it belongs to."
"As the protector of the Zhao Clan, I have the right to take it back."
The Heaven Reflecting Mirror said, "Hand it over and I will let you go."
"What if I say no?" Ling Xian's expression turned cold.
"Then I will have to send a message to the Zhao Clan Leader and hand you over to him." The Heaven Reflecting Mirror was emotionless.
"You may not have that ability."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "If I can make you sleep once, I can make you sleep again."
"Last time, I accidentally fell into your trap. Now, I am prepared. How can you make me sleep?" The Heaven Reflecting Mirror said softly.
"I can't do it in half an hour. I can't do it in half an hour either. However, I am only a few steps away from the Zhao Clan. If I can stun you for a second, I will be able to leave safely."
Chuckling, Ling Xian formed a hand seal and reappeared.
