The bright moon was shedding down light rays that lit up the forest and coated it with a silver veil.
Suddenly, a young girl appeared from the bushes before him. Her facial features were exquisite, her face was beautiful, and her body was slender. Especially under the moonlight, she looked like a fairy that had just descended to the mortal world. Her beauty was breathtaking and could cause the downfall of a country.
However, the panic on her face and her hurried footsteps ruined some of the beauty.
The red spots on her white robe revealed her current situation. She was probably being chased.
"This woman …"
Looking at the girl who was running towards him, Ling Xian frowned. He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. This inexplicable feeling made him confused because he was sure that he had never seen this young girl before.
However, when one's cultivation level reaches a certain level, their soul automatically records the people they have interacted with. In other words, even though Ling Xian has no recollection of her, he must have interacted with this woman before.
"Strange, why do I have no recollection of her?"
Ling Xian frowned and searched his memory carefully. However, he could not find any information related to this girl.
However, when the girl saw Ling Xian, her dim eyes exploded with light, as if she had just seen the most important person in her life.
The reality was that Ling Xian was one of the most important people in her life.
Even though nine years have passed, she will never forget that gentle smile and that warm hand.
That was a warmth she will remember for the rest of her life.
"Master Ling!"
The girl's smile bloomed like a flower as she ran before Ling Xian in a hurry. Her beautiful eyes stared deadly at the man before her as they flickered with joy.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that she would meet the person who had been haunting her dreams here.
"You recognize me. It seems like you have interacted with me before."
Ling Xian frowned slightly. After confirming that he has never seen this woman before, he couldn't help but ask, "But why do I have no recollection of you?"
Hearing this, the girl's eyes dimmed. So he doesn't remember her?
But in the next second, she suppressed the disappointment in her heart and smiled faintly. "Young Master, do you remember nine years ago when you gave a beggar a storage bag in Cloud Sky City of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Ling Xian frowned. The Zhou Dynasty, City of Yun Xiao, beggars, storage pouch, these four keywords awakened his memory. Then, a child beggar with messy hair and a dirty face appeared in his mind.
That day, he stood proudly in the field like an Asura Demon God, surrounded by corpses and rivers of blood.
No one dared to approach him. Only a little girl covered in dirt walked up to him and asked for a storage bag.
Her fearless yet clear eyes, her slow yet determined steps, and her pale yet stubborn little face all moved Ling Xian. He subconsciously revealed a gentle smile.
He still remembered that little girl's name was Yu Xun Zhen.
It was a very nice name, and it also had a lot of meaning.
Recalling what happened back then, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile, "You are Yu Xun Zhen?"
Seeing that Ling Xian still remembered her name, Yu Xun Zhen was ecstatic. She quickly said, "Yes, you remember me."
"The stubborn little girl from back then left a deep impression on me. How could I forget?"
Looking at the beautiful girl before him, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with awe. He smiled, "It's just that you are so beautiful now that I didn't think of you."
"Yeah, it's been nine years. It's normal that you can't recognize me." Yu Xun Zhen's face was slightly red as the disappointment she felt slowly dissipated.
After all, back then, her hair was messy and her face dirty. Though she was a beauty, she wasn't fully developed. Today, she was a peerless beauty. It was normal that Ling Xian couldn't recognize her.
In these nine years, his appearance hasn't changed much. Plus, Yu Xun Zhen has imprinted him in her heart. Therefore, she recognized him right away.
"Of course. There's no need to describe how you were back then. Compared to the current you, it can be said to be like the difference between clouds and mud. They can't be mentioned in the same breath.
Ling Xian softly grinned and checked out the beautiful girl before him. Seeing that her white robe was dyed with blood, he frowned, "What happened to you?"
At the same time, Yu Xun Zhen also saw that Ling Xian was covered in blood. She asked in a hurry, "What happened to you?"
Their voices rose and fell at the same time. Then, the two of them froze. Looking at each other's exhausted state, they smiled bitterly.
"This scene doesn't look like two old friends catching up. It looks more like two refugees getting together."
Shaking his head, Ling Xian erased his smile and asked in a low voice, "Is someone after you?"
"Aye." Yu Xun Zhen sighed deeply. Her beautiful face found it hard to hide her hopelessness.
At this, Ling Xian frowned, "What is going on?"
Hearing this, Yu Xun Zhen was about to speak when a statement full of killer's intent appeared from above.
"I am so sorry to disturb you two old friends. But it doesn't matter. I will send you on your way and you can catch up later. "
As soon as the voice trailed off, three men in black descended from the sky. All of them were of the foundational level.
The leader was a middle-aged man with undisguised disdain on his face.
The two young men behind him reacted the same way. Their faces were full of arrogance and the way they looked at Ling Xian and Yu Xun Zhen was like they were looking at dead people.
After seeing these three people, Yu Xun Zhen's face turned even whiter. The hopelessness in her eyes intensified as well.
Seeing this, Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, "These are the people who are after you?"
"Hehe, it's not accurate to say we're after her. She is one of us. I am merely cleaning up after her." The middle-aged man snickered coldly. The way he looked at Yu Xun Zhen was extremely heated. However, it wasn't the kind of gaze that was filled with lust.
It was like he was looking at a heavenly medicine.
Noticing this eerie stare, Ling Xian was even more confused. However, it was not a good time to find out what was going on. Therefore, he impatiently brandished his hand, "Before I have the intention to kill you, get out of my sight."
At those words, the three of them froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Haha, this is so funny. You look like you are about to die and you dare to talk to me like that?" The middle-aged man laughed out loud. His voice was full of disdain.
The two men also had smiles on their faces, mocking smiles.
It was obvious that after seeing that Ling Xian was covered in blood and that his breathing was weak, they didn't think much of him.
"It is true that I am not in the best condition right now. But to kill you, I am more than enough." Ling Xian glared at the three of them, feeling too lazy to waste any more time.
No matter how bad his condition was, to kill three foundational cultivators was a piece of cake.
Therefore, he slowly raised his right hand and slammed it towards the three of them.
Immediately, a terrifying amount of spiritual energy rolled up like a tidal wave and landed on the middle-aged man and the young man.
In the next second, under Yu Xun Zhen's astonished gaze and her companions' astonished gaze, the two of them collapsed onto the ground and breathed their last.
The dense forest also quietened down.
Only the sound of the man swallowing his saliva could be heard echoing in the air.
