In midair, Ling Xian's expression was heavy like still water and his killer's intent was cold.
The curse of the Thief of the World was extremely evil. Not only was it eating away at her life force, it was also restricting her soul. Every time she uses her soul, she will feel a heart-wrenching pain.
Even more terrifying was that with the Thief of the World's life force, she can only last 10 days.
If she can't erase the curse within 10 days, not even real immortals can save her.
Therefore, Ling Xian wanted to kill.
Not only was she ungrateful, but she used such an evil curse to threaten the Thief of the World. If he doesn't kill her, he won't be able to appease the hatred in his heart!
"If the Dark Ruler was here, it would be great."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The Dark Ruler was formed from curses and could lift most curses in the world.
Sadly, the Dark Ruler was far away on Planet Yong Xian. Even if he travels day and night, he cannot make it back in 10 days.
"Ling Xian, am I about to die?" The Thief of the World bitterly chuckled. His eyes dimmed.
"With your life force, you can at most last 10 days."
"But, you are not at the end."
Ling Xian's eyes deepened, "What is the True Dragon Key?"
"One of the treasures of the dragon kind. Legend has it that it was left behind by the Ancestor of the Dragon Kind. It can open the treasure it left behind."
The Thief of the World sighed, "At the same time, it is an extremely powerful treasure. It is even stronger than a supreme weapon."
"The treasure left behind by the Ancestor of the Dragon Kind …" Ling Xian squinted his eyes.
The Ancestor of the Dragon Kind was the first real dragon in the world. Though he wasn't an immortal, he wasn't far from it. The treasures he left behind would be extremely shocking.
"That person probably knows where the treasure is. But without the True Dragon Key, even a supreme being cannot open it." The Thief of the World's eyes were full of hatred and some regret.
If she didn't trust that person, she wouldn't be here today.
"With my abilities, I cannot lift the curse inside you and I cannot steal the True Dragon Key." Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
Killing that person wasn't hard. Even if he was a heavenly being, he was confident he could kill him.
But killing that person didn't mean he could lift the curse. What if that person chose to die with him? Then wouldn't the Thief of the World be hopeless?
Therefore, Ling Xian couldn't gamble.
"The reason why I told you not to save me was because I knew that I would definitely die."
Thieving World smiled bitterly: "For someone who is going to die, you don't need to stand against the Dragon Race, and you don't need to waste your energy."
"I cannot just stand by and watch." Ling Xian's expression was calm. He turned around and looked at the dragon kind, "Let's go. We are going back."
"Go back?" Thieving World was stunned: "Did I hear wrongly or are you stupid?"
"You heard me right. I'm not stupid."
"For your life, we must cooperate with the Dragon Clan."
Ling Xian spoke in a low voice. Since he couldn't steal the key and couldn't kill that person, cooperating with the dragon kind was his only option.
No living creature could refuse the Ancestral Dragon's treasure, especially the Dragon Clan.
If he used this as a bargaining chip, there was a high chance that he could obtain the True Dragon Key. At that time, the Thief of the World would be able to remove the curse.
"You want to kill me with a borrowed knife?"
Thief of the World frowned slightly: "With the strength of the dragon race, it is easy to kill that person, but I will still die."
"Do I need to borrow a knife to kill him?"
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed, "I want to get the True Dragon Key and give it to that person so he can remove the curse on you."
Hearing this, Thieving World's eyes brightened as he saw hope.
"Do you understand now?"
"The dragon kind will for sure give me the key because it will not be lost."
Ling Xian softly smiled. That person was merely of the eighth level. The dragon kind could easily send a ninth level cultivator to defeat him.
"That is a good idea." Thieving World revealed a smile. His eyes were full of energy.
"Let's go and talk to the Dragon King." Ling Xian smiled and rode on the wind.
"Wait, aren't you going to turn me back into a dragon?" Thieving World frowned.
"There's no need. After this, you will no longer be a prisoner of the dragon kind. You will be an important guest of the dragon kind." Ling Xian smiled. The Ancestral Dragon's treasure was of great importance. Even if it was just a piece of information, the dragon kind would be extremely grateful.
"That's true." Thieving World smiled and followed Ling Xian towards the dragon kind.
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived before the door of the dragon kind. The red dragon that was guarding this place was stunned. Then, it revealed its killer's intent.
"How dare you! You dare to return!"
Just then, a vast amount of energy howled out of the red dragon's body. At the same time, it howled to summon its kind.
Within a few breaths, more than 10 dragons appeared. Without exception, all of them were ferocious and full of energy.
This made Thief of the World feel uneasy, she was afraid that these True Dragons would kill her without asking about the truth.
Ling Xian's expression did not change.
He had a smile on his lips as he manipulated his Qi and spoke loudly.
"I am Ling Xian, I beg to see the Dragon King."
At those words, all the dragons were stunned. They couldn't understand why Thieving World dared to return. They also couldn't understand why Ling Xian wanted to see the Dragon King.
"Shut up. You think the Dragon King is someone you can see just because you want to?"
Long Wu Shuang walked out of the void and glared at Ling Xian, "Get the f! ck out of my sight!"
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart warmed. Though Long Wu Shuang was scolding him, he was telling him to leave.
It was obvious that she was trying to save him. Naturally, he was touched.
"They say that daughters are extroverted. The ancients were right."
After a sigh, the Dragon King descended from the sky and looked at Long Wu Shuang helplessly, "My daughter, you are not even married yet. Why are you already helping an outsider?"
"Father, what are you talking about?" Long Wu Shuang glared at the Dragon King, "I just find him annoying and I don't want to see him again."
"You little girl." The Dragon King shook his head and chuckled, "Alright, let's hear what he has to say first."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Young man, we meet again."
"Greetings, Dragon King." Ling Xian paid his respect to the Dragon King.
The Thieving World did the same.
"There's no need. Speak, why are you looking for me?"
The Dragon King grinned, "If it isn't enough to pardon her, I will not be merciful."
"I wonder if the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure can pardon her?"
Ling Xian softly chuckled, startling all the dragons here. Even the Dragon King was a little startled.
"Did I hear you right? He said the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure?"
"You didn't hear me wrong. Does he know where it is?"
"Legend has it that there is a treasure on the Yao Planet. But the dragon kind has searched for it for tens of thousands of years and still hasn't found it!"
The dragons here all exclaimed in shock and stared at Ling Xian with heated eyes.
"You have information about the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure?" The Dragon King erased his smile.
"Not information, I have the location." Ling Xian lied in a low voice.
This was a helpless move. If it was just information, then he might not be able to get the key. But if it was the location, then his bargaining chip would be even heavier.
So heavy that the dragon kind couldn't say no.
"Are you serious?" The Dragon King stared at Ling Xian. Though he didn't have any Qi, he was pressuring everyone.
"I wouldn't dare to lie to you." Ling Xian's expression was normal. Nobody could tell that he was lying.
The Thieving World, however, was very nervous. She knew very well that Ling Xian didn't know the location of the Ancestral Dragon's Treasure. The reason why he said that was to save her.
Therefore, she tried her best to be relaxed and not reveal any flaws.
