In midair, Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as his black hair tussled in the wind. Above his head, a shiny mirror floated. Like a God descending to the mortal world, like an immortal descending, he had the demeanor of a conqueror.
The Cloud Piercing Spear broke. Deputy Xiao Yao died.
This scene made Deputy Chi and Deputy Zhan widen their eyes. They felt a wave of coldness wash over them, as if they had fallen into an icy hell.
Deputy Xiao Yao's death was within their expectations. What surprised them was that Ling Xian was able to stop the Cloud Piercing Spear!
That was a secret technique of the Zhou Dynasty. Its offensive capabilities were insanely powerful. Though it was not the number one offensive technique in the Zhou Dynasty, it was definitely one of the best. Yet before their eyes, this spear was so easily stopped by Ling Xian. How shocking of a thing was this?
"Unbelievable … the secret technique of the Zhou Dynasty, the Cloud Piercing Spear, could not even move this person."
"Not only could he not move? Look at him, he is as tall as a mountain. Not even wind can move him. It was obvious that he easily stopped the attack! "
"What a monster. I, the Zhan Wang, have lived my entire life and was considered a Heaven's Favorite when I was young. I cannot even move a corner of his shirt."
Deputy Chi and Deputy Zhan sighed deeply. Other than deep respect on their faces, there was only defeat.
At this moment, they finally understood one thing. With their capabilities, it would be difficult for them to even force Ling Xian to step back, let alone suppress him.
Thinking about this, the two deputies silently rejoiced that they didn't continue to attack. If they did, they would've ended up the same way as Deputy Xiao Yao.
"This grudge has finally come to an end." Ling Xian softly sighed. The hatred in his heart was finally gone. His entire body relaxed, more relaxed than ever.
It's been seven years and this hatred has been suppressed in his heart. Now that he has avenged himself, why wouldn't he feel relaxed?
"Next, it's time to do something else."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He made a move and planned on chasing after Ling Tian Xiang to see if he can find any clues.
However, the moment he stepped out, he was stopped by two silhouettes.
"You two, are you seeking death?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, his demeanor threatening.
Hearing this, the two Kings' expressions changed. They quickly waved their hands, "No, no, you have misunderstood."
"If you have something to say, then say it. I don't have time to waste with you," Ling Xian said softly, not understanding why the two deputies stopped him.
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to remind you that the Cloud Piercing Heaven Splitting Spear is a secret technique of the royal family. It won't be easily passed on to outsiders." Scarlet King hesitated for a moment before reminding him.
Ling Xian frowned and immediately understood what Deputy Chi was trying to say. He asked, "You are saying that Deputy Xiao Yao's mastery of this technique means he is favored by the Emperor, right?"
"That's right. The Sky Piercing Spear is not easily taught to outsiders, yet Deputy Xiao Yao knows how to use it. This is enough to prove that His Majesty trusts him." Deputy Chi nodded, "In other words, if you kill Deputy Xiao Yao today, His Majesty will be furious."
"That's right. I believe that by tomorrow, your wanted posters will be plastered all over the streets and alleys," Warlord echoed.
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart dropped. He couldn't help but feel troubled.
With his capabilities today, he could do whatever he wanted in the Zhou Dynasty. However, the prerequisite was that he doesn't provoke the royal family. Remember that the Zhou Dynasty was one of the 10 dynasties and was the most powerful force in Yunzhou. From this, it was obvious how terrifying the royal family's capabilities were.
Everyone in Yunzhou knew that the current emperor was of the original level. In the entire Yunzhou, he was one of the top powerhouses!
If the emperor is enraged and orders for Ling Xian to be killed, then even if he had 10 lives, he wouldn't be able to escape death. Therefore, how could he not feel troubled?
However, the moment he made his move to kill Deputy Xiao Yao, he was mentally prepared. Therefore, Ling Xian did not panic, "Then post it. Seven years ago, I was already wanted by the entire country. I don't mind doing it again."
"That's different. Seven years ago, it was the Third Prince who ordered that completion leveled powerhouses could not be ordered. But if it was the emperor who ordered it, then even original leveled powerhouses would be sent out. "Deputy Chi shook his head.
"I know. But I have already killed him. There's no point in regretting it. I'll just take it one step at a time." Ling Xian softly smiled. Though he was feeling a lot of pressure, ever since he began his cultivation journey, he has faced countless enemies. When has he ever chosen to retreat?
Though the storm he was about to face this time was extremely violent and it could be the emperor who was looking down on Yunzhou, he was not going to retreat!
What does cultivation rely on?
Other than natural talent and resources, what's more important is determination and the courage to move forward!
If you stop moving forward at the slightest difficulty, then what's the point of cultivation? How can you fight against the heavens?
"Ignoring your capabilities, your mentality alone is not something normal people can have." Deputy Chi exclaimed, completely convinced by Ling Xian.
The Emperor of Zhan had a look of admiration on his face as well. He sighed, "The reason why I am reminding you is to thank you for not killing me back then. I cannot say more than that. After all, you and I are on opposing sides."
"I understand. Thank you." Ling Xian smiled.
"That's all I have to say. We'll take our leave."
The Ruler of Zhan and the Ruler of Chi paid their respect to Ling Xian. Then, they made their moves and headed towards their respective territories.
"The royal family … is another big problem."
Ling Xian floated in midair. Remembering the terror of the Zhou Royal Palace, he couldn't help but sigh.
His original plan was to kill Deputy Xiao Yao and rush to the Imperial Capital to get the item from the Seventh Princess to awaken the Immortal of Alchemy. Then, he would immediately leave the Zhou Dynasty. In this way, no matter how powerful the emperor was, it would be difficult to find him outside of the Zhou Dynasty.
But now, Ling Tian Xiang was in the Zhou Dynasty. No matter what, he could not leave. As such, he naturally felt troubled.
"Who asked you to be so cocky? Great, now you've provoked the royal family again."
A voice full of schadenfreude arose. Like a ghost, Luo Xin Jie appeared beside Ling Xian.
"So be it. I already offended the Third Prince seven years ago. Now that I've offended his father, it'll just be a little more troublesome." Ling Xian shook his head, feeling too lazy to waste any more time with Luo Xin Jie. "Let's go and find Tian Xiang."
"Hehe, you will have to thank me for that." Luo Xin Jie grinned. Her eyes twinkled with a myriad of emotions and allure.
"Why do you say that?" Ling Xian chuckled.
Luo Xin Jie grinned, "Just now, when you were fighting the possessed woman, I used a technique on her that allowed me to track her."
"Good, you sure are thoughtful." Ling Xian's eyes brightened.
"Hehe …"
Luo Xin Jie continued to giggle and drew circles on Ling Xian's chest with her finger. "Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"
"How about I repay you with my body?" Ling Xian teased.
"Okay, then take it off." Luo Xin Jie's eyes were like silk as she licked her lips with her pink tongue. She was alluring and sexy.
Ling Xian shook his head helplessly, knowing that he was no opponent of hers in this area. He had to use his trump card. He raised his right hand and aimed at Luo Xin Jie's chest. He made a grabbing motion.
"Hmmph, that's all you know."
Luo Xin Jie rolled her eyes and pointed in the southeast direction, "Over there."
"Thank you." Ling Xian flashed a victorious smile. He called out to the Winged Blitz and headed in the southeast direction.
"That person has angered the Zhou Dynasty. If I continue to follow him, I will be in danger."
Watching Ling Xian's back, Luo Xin Jie frowned and hesitated whether or not she should follow him. After pondering for a moment, her figure flashed, and she chose to follow.
Just like that, the two of them headed in the southeast direction in search of Ling Tian Xiang.
After some time, a cave filled with demonic energy appeared before their eyes. There was a bonfire burning inside. It seemed like someone was living there.
However, when Ling Xian used his Qi to investigate, he found no one inside.
This proved that Ling Tian Xiang had left. They were one step too late.
"Keep going."
Ling Xian gritted his teeth and continued to chase. He did not want to give up.
Whether it was to ensure Ling Tian Xiang's safety, or to stop her from killing innocent people, he could not give up.
Seeing this, Luo Xin Jie revealed a helpless expression. She had no choice but to follow Ling Xian.
Just like that, the two of them continued to chase. They chased from night to dawn, then from sunrise to sunset. After three days and three nights, they still did not see Ling Tian Xiang.
However, it wasn't completely fruitless. At the very least, during these three days, Ling Xian found traces of Ling Tian Xiang.
At noon on the fourth day, he finally found Ling Tian Xiang's silhouette in a dense forest.
Just like in the Xiao Yao Palace, Ling Tian Xiang's eyes were blood red and she was dressed in black. Demonic energy swirled around her, intimidating everyone.
When she saw Ling Xian, her emotionless red eyes suddenly brightened. Then, she seemed to remember something from the past, but a mysterious force was restraining her, preventing her from recalling it.
"AH!"
After a heart wrenching scream, Ling Tian Xiang hugged her head with both hands. Her head felt like it was about to explode.
"Tian Xiang!" Ling Xian's expression changed. He quickly ran before Ling Tian Xiang and pressed his hands on her shoulders.
However, Ling Tian Xiang was already possessed. Out of instinct, she subconsciously waved her hand and scratched five bloody marks on Ling Xian's arm.
Then, as if she was greatly stimulated, she screamed out an earth-shattering scream. A terrifying amount of Qi rolled out of her and shattered the entire forest.
Even Ling Xian had to step back a few steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Tian Xiang's silhouette flashed and she dashed towards the northwest.
"Dammit!"
Ling Xian gritted his teeth. Ignoring the wound on his arm, he continued to chase.
However, every time he caught up to Ling Tian Xiang, she would scratch him and he would lose sight of her. This made Ling Xian helpless, but he had to continue to chase.
Just like that, he and Luo Xin Jie chased after her. Before they knew it, a month had passed.
At this moment, a majestic capital city appeared in front of the two of them.
It was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
