Sword energy filled the air and killer's intent shot through the cloud.
The swordsman stared down at Ling Xian from above. There was coldness and disdain.
The moment the Heaven Protector disappeared, the barrier that separated everyone disappeared as well. Therefore, he could now appear before Ling Xian.
"You want to kill me?"
Ling Xian frowned slightly. He was not flustered and he was not afraid.
He could not win against a ninth level cultivator. Especially right now, he was extremely weak and had no way of fighting back. However, he believed that Sun Zhen would not just stand by and watch.
As he expected, after Sun Zhen regained his senses, he formed a hand seal and displayed a mysterious technique.
Whooosh!
Ling Xian's silhouette disappeared and was replaced by Sun Zhen.
This made the swordsman's expression darken, "The Shifting Techniques of the Sun Clan."
"You have good eyes."
Sun Zhen glared at the swordsman, "He saved my life. If you touch him, you are making the Sun Clan your enemy."
"So what?"
The swordsman coldly snickered, "The Sun Clan's name is well known, but it does not scare me."
"Then let's see what we can do." Sun Zhen was too lazy to waste any more time with the swordsman. He formed a hand seal and his energy shook the earth.
"Count me in," the elder in black said softly and appeared behind the swordsman like a ghost.
The swordsman's expression darkened, "You two really want to fight me to the death because of him?"
"What do you think?" Sun Zhen's gaze was cold, "Two against one, you have no chance of winning. Give up."
Hearing this, the swordsman's expression darkened. He didn't think these two would fight him to the death because of Ling Xian.
If it was one against one, he wasn't afraid of anyone here. But if it was one against two, it would be troublesome.
"Consider yourself lucky." The swordsman glared at Ling Xian. He retracted his Qi and dispersed his sword intent.
Then, he rode on his sword and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone carried the joy of surviving and the disappointment of not gaining anything as they left one after another.
The Heaven Protector had died and all the traps in the tomb were no longer effective. Naturally, they could leave whenever they wanted.
"I really didn't expect that you would be able to turn the tables around." Sun Zhen sighed, unable to conceal the admiration in his voice.
The black-clothed old man was the same.
Although they were ninth-level cultivators, they knew that they could not stop the Heaven Suppressing Great Emperor, let alone cause this legend to meet a tragic end.
Yet Ling Xian had done it. This naturally made the two of them admire him.
"It's all thanks to that trace of undying characteristic." Ling Xian faintly grinned. From the beginning to the end, he had been suppressed by the Heaven Protector Emperor and had no way of fighting back.
If it weren't for the trace of immortality in his soul, which prevented the Heaven Suppression Great Emperor from killing him, he would have been possessed long ago.
"What's more, I didn't expect you to be able to set foot on the path of the Immortal Soul." Sun Zhen sighed with emotion, his admiration growing.
The black-clothed old man was the same.
That was the path of the Immortal Soul that even Immortal Kings might not be able to tread on, so how could they not feel admiration for it?
"It was merely a coincidence." Ling Xian's eyes dimmed. So what if he's on the path of an immortal soul? He was cursed, so this path had already been cut off.
Seeing this, Sun Zhen revealed a look of pity and consoled, "Don't worry, as long as you find the Heartless Flower, you will be able to cure the Three Lives Severed Soul."
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and didn't say anything.
The Heartless Flower was hard to find, even rarer than immortal medicine. How could it be so easy to find?
"Oh well, let nature take its course."
Ling Xian sighed, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave."
"Like I said, if you need anything, you can find me at the Sun Clan." Sun Zhen paid his respect to Ling Xian and left.
The black-clothed old man also left and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Ling Xian prepared to leave as well. However, he was stopped by the bright young girl.
She hesitated, "Senior, do you need the Heartless Flower?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. Then, his eyes brightened, "You have the Heartless Flower?"
"I don't. But, I have information about this flower." The young girl smiled brightly.
"Are you serious?" Ling Xian was energized. The Heartless Flower was related to whether or not he can cure the Three Lives Severed Soul. Even if it was just a clue, it was worth it for him to risk his life.
"I wouldn't dare to lie to you." The young girl's lips curled into a bright smile.
"Speak, what do you want?" Ling Xian softly grinned, realizing that the young girl wanted something from him.
"Talking to smart people sure makes me happy."
The young girl wiped off her smile, "My mother is trapped in a small world and cannot leave. So, I hope you can save her."
"I see." Ling Xian softly nodded. He finally understood why the young girl stopped talking before.
"Senior, are you willing to help?" The young girl stared at Ling Xian without blinking. Her eyes were full of hope.
"I can help, but you better not lie to me." Ling Xian stared at the young girl. To cure the Three Lives Severed Soul, he had to agree.
Plus, this wasn't hard. With the Zhou Tian Yi, finding the weak point of the small world wasn't hard.
"If you can save my mother, then I will tell you the clues about the Heartless Flower. I guarantee that you will get it." The young girl's voice was loud and powerful.
"Save …"
Ling Xian frowned slightly. Saving the young girl's mother and finding the weak point of the small world were two different things. The latter was easy for him, but the former was full of uncertainty.
After all, he knew nothing about the small world and he didn't know how capable the young girl's mother was. If he hastily agreed, he would put himself in an awkward situation.
Therefore, he shook his head, "I can only promise that I will find the weak point of the small world. If you don't agree, then let's forget about it."
"I …" The young girl silenced. She wanted to bargain, but she didn't have the confidence.
It was true that Ling Xian needed the Heartless Flower, but she also needed the Zhou Tian Yi.
Thus, the young girl gritted her teeth, "Okay, if you can find the weak point of the small world, then I will tell you the clues about the Heartless Flower."
"It's a deal." Ling Xian smiled, "Let's go and save your mother."
"Senior, please follow me."
The young girl smiled brightly, "Right, my name is Ye Xiao Chan. I wonder what your name is?"
"Xian Ling," Ling Xian said softly.
"Then should I call you Senior Xian Ling or Senior Holy Thief?" Ye Xiao Chan blinked her eyes in a mischievous manner.
"You sure are smart." Ling Xian looked at Ye Xiao Chan in shock and grinned, "How did you know?"
"Because everyone else is focused on the treasure, but I am focused on you."
"The Zhou Tian Yi is the only way to save my mother. So from beginning to end, my attention has been on you."
"Though I never saw you cast a spell, you would smile every now and then. Then, you would look innocent."
Ye Xiaochan blinked mischievously, her eyes flashing with surprise.
Though she had guessed it, after Ling Xian indirectly admitted it, her heart was still in turmoil.
Ever since the Holy Thief's name shocked the City of Zhi Ge, he had gained many admirers. She was one of them.
Therefore, Ye Xiao Chan's eyes were sparkling and full of admiration.
"I see." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "Okay, let's go."
Hearing this, Ye Xiao Chan didn't waste any more time and flew towards the entrance of the tomb.
Ling Xian followed closely.
