Inside the cold and lonely universe, a giant cosmic boat was silently cruising.
On the deck, Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back. His demeanor was extraordinary and out of the world.
Ji Huang stood behind him and chuckled, "I have already sent a message to my father. I think the higher-ups of the clan are all waiting for you."
"There is no need to make such a big fuss." Ling Xian frowned. He didn't like crowds. Plus, he may not be able to fix the stone.
It would be shameful if he couldn't repair the Sealing Stone even after everyone knew about it.
"Of course. You are willing to help, so the entire Ji Clan should treat you well." Ji Huang grinned.
"But I may not succeed."
Ling Xian smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will fail and disappoint everyone in the Ji Clan?"
"No matter if I succeed or fail, you are willing to help."
Ji Huang said in a serious manner, "Even if I fail, the Ji Clan will remember your kindness."
"You are being too polite. The Ji Clan and I are allies, so I should help."
"Okay, in seven days, we will arrive at the Planet of the North Stars."
"During this time, you should focus on your training."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Then, he calmed down and no longer spoke.
Time passed by little by little. After seven days, the Planet of the North Stars appeared before his eyes.
"We are here." Ling Xian opened his eyes and straightened his body.
Ji Huang did the same.
Then, the two of them broke through the barrier and entered the Planet of the North Stars.
The moment the two of them stepped into the Planet of the North Stars, murderous intent descended.
Whooosh!
Seven rays of sword light pierced through the sky. Their sharpness and killer's intent shot through the cloud. Even for someone as powerful as Ling Xian, his expression changed.
For one, it was far too fast. Lightning was not enough to describe it. For two, it was far too powerful. Even though he was a Heaven's Favorite who could fight beyond his level, he felt threatened.
Luckily, he was on the path of the undying soul and his spiritual sense far surpassed normal people.
Therefore, the moment the sword light appeared, he sensed it and dodged it by a hair's breadth.
Then, the Armor of the Royal Demon appeared and the three flowers of the Dao protected Ling Xian and Ji Huang.
"You sure are sensitive."
A voice arose and an elder in grey walked out of thin air. He held onto a blood-colored sword and his Qi engulfed the universe.
At the same time, six middle-aged men appeared. Although they were not as strong as the black-robed old man, they were not ordinary either.
Their expressions were frigid as they pointed their swords at Ling Xian. Their killer's intent swept out in all directions.
"A powerhouse of the ninth level …" Ling Xian squinted his eyes, feeling troubled.
With his current abilities, there was no way he could fight against a level-nine cultivator, especially when he had not fully recovered from his injuries. Even running away would be difficult for him.
Ji Huang also felt the pressure. At the same time, she was also puzzled.
She asked coldly, "Who are you? Why did Yao ambush us? "
"Little girl from the Ji Family, guess who we are?" The grey-clothed old man smiled faintly. He was not in a hurry to attack.
To him, Ling Xian and Ji Huang were like turtles in a jar – nothing to worry about.
"Could it be that you are from the Ning and Lian families?"
Ji Huang was visibly moved. On the surface, the three realms of true immortals coexisted peacefully, but behind the scenes, they all wanted to kill each other.
Thus, the grey-clothed old man was most likely someone from the Ning and Lian families.
"Smart. I am the ancestor of the Lian Clan, and they are the elders of the Ning Clan."
The grey-clothed old man smiled, "I have long heard about the beauty of the Ji Clan. Now that I have seen you today, you truly live up to your reputation."
"The Ning and Lian Clans are acting this way. Aren't you afraid that the Ji Clan will kill you?" Ji Huang's eyes were cold and full of killer's intent.
"You are beautiful, but sadly, you don't have a brain."
The grey-clothed old man grinned, "Since I dared to show myself, then I have full confidence that I can kill you without anyone noticing."
"I want to know, why are you lying in ambush here?" Ji Huang raised an eyebrow.
"Oh well, you are about to die anyways. I might as well let you die knowing the answer."
"There are people from the Lian Clan in the Ji Clan. They are high ranking members of the Ji Clan. As for who they are, I won't tell you."
"To sum it up, the Lian Clan knows the Ji Clan's movements like the back of our hands."
The grey-clothed old man smiled and said, "As for why I'm lying in ambush here, it's because that person gave me a strand of your Spiritual Energy. It just so happens that my Lian family has a secret technique that allowed me to deduce your location."
"I see." Ji Huang's expression turned cold. She didn't think there would be a spy in the Ji Clan, and a high ranking member at that.
She really didn't think that the thing that put her in danger was a sliver of soul.
"It seems like you are Ling Xian."
The grey-clothed elder shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and smiled, "You truly are an extraordinary person. The rumors are true."
"You are flattering me." Ling Xian's eyes were dark and gloomy. He was ready to unleash his Qi, soul, and physique.
He and the Lian Clan have hated each other for a long time. Even if he ignored what happened to the Ji Clan, the grey-clothed elder would not let him go.
Therefore, Ling Xian was waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
"Don't waste your time. Today, none of you will be leaving."
The grey-clothed elder had a smile on his face, "Especially you. No matter what, I will not let you repair the Ji Clan's sealing stone."
Hearing this, Ling Xian squinted his eyes and coldness flickered.
Ji Huang's anger was boiling.
The ancestor sealed inside the stone was the Ji Clan's protection. If he is forced to come out, then the Ji Clan will be in danger.
"Go in peace. The Ji Clan has existed for so long, it is time for it to be destroyed."
The grey-clothed elder wiped off his smile, "Kill them."
At those words, the six middle-aged men made their moves.
They were all at the advanced stage of the extraordinary realm. When they teamed up, they were rather powerful.
However, they couldn't move Ling Xian.
He was someone who could even defeat the young Godly King. Even though he was injured, he wasn't someone these six people could defeat.
What troubled him was the grey-clothed elder.
Therefore, Ling Xian retreated as he fought. He didn't defeat the six middle-aged men, nor was he at a disadvantage.
"Extraordinary realm cultivators cannot defeat you after all."
The grey-clothed elder squinted his eyes. He raised his hand and three heavenly arrays rose and surrounded Ling Xian and Ji Huang.
Immediately, a mysterious force descended and froze Ling Xian's body as if he was stuck in a swamp.
HOMMM!
Finding the right time, the six middle-aged men made their moves. Their prowess shook the sky and the earth.
Caught off guard, Ling Xian puked out blood and a few of his bones were broken.
If it weren't for his strong physique and strong vitality, this attack would've taken his life.
"Ling Xian!"
Ji Huang's expression changed. She wanted to help but was trapped by the array and couldn't move.
"Tsk, tsk, how pitiful."
"With your capabilities, it is easy for you to defeat them. But inside the array, you can only be defeated by them."
The grey-clothed elder snickered and didn't even try to hide his mockery.
The six middle-aged men also had a taunting look.
"Is that so …"
Ling Xian glared at the grey-clothed elder but didn't say anything. He didn't lift the array either.
This confused Ji Huang. She knew very well how powerful Ling Xian's array skills were. Lifting these three arrays was a piece of cake.
"Don't blame me on the road to hell. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for agreeing to help."
The grey-clothed elder teased, "Kill them."
"Yes!"
The six of them answered in unison. They lifted their hands and shattered the space. Ji Huang's expression changed.
