The temperature in the cave dropped to freezing point.
Terrifying killer's intent poured out of Ling Xian's body like a tidal wave. In an instant, it engulfed the entire cave, making everyone shudder.
Fang Yun's words threw him into disarray.
Needless to say, the lives and deaths of the others had little to do with him, but Ling Hu was someone he saw as his own younger brother, and there was also the Ling Clan's First Young Mistress who had feelings for him.
He had to save these two people.
The Xuan Ming Snake flicked its tongue and stared at Ling Xian anxiously. It did not understand why this man, who had always been so calm, was suddenly enraged.
"I will trade this information for my own life. What do you think?"
Even though Ling Xian's cold stare made him tremble with fear, Fang Yun suppressed the fear in his heart. This was his last chance to live, and he had to hold onto it tightly. He could not afford to fail.
"You think you have the right to bargain with me?"
Ling Xian's expression was cold. His robe fluttered in the wind and a murderous aura seeped out of him. This was the aura he gained after slaughtering hundreds of beasts. It made him look like a demon descending from the heavens.
Fang Yun gritted his teeth, his body shaking uncontrollably. Even though he was terrified of Ling Xian's power, he knew that if he told anyone, he would lose his life. Thus, he stubbornly said, "If you don't agree, I will not tell you the details even if I die."
"Good, very good."
Ling Xian took a step forward and instantly arrived before Fang Yun. He grabbed Fang Yun by the throat and lifted him up high. He uttered out one word.
"Speak!"
Fang Yun's face was red. His body was lifted three feet off the ground. He gripped Ling Xian's arm with both hands, hoping to relieve some of the pressure on his neck. "Cough … cough … If you don't agree, I will not tell you."
"You have no right to bargain with me." Ling Xian's eyes were cold as he tightened his grip.
Instantly, Fang Yun's pain intensified. His eyes shone with bone-deep hatred as he stuttered, "Then, kill me. But the descendants of the Ling Clan … cough … cough … cough … they will die with me."
Die with him?
Ling Xian glared at him and suddenly let go of his hand.
Fang Yun fell to the ground, gasping for air. In his eyes, other than the joy of surviving a disaster, there was also the pride of forcing Ling Xian to submit.
However, just as he thought Ling Xian was giving in, a cold and emotionless voice rang in his ears.
"When facing a lunatic, my solution has always been to be crazier than him."
Ling Xian flicked his finger and a silver flame landed on Fang Yun's body. Immediately, the Godly Flame rose and wrapped around Fang Yun's body.
"Ah!"
Fang Yun let out a heart-wrenching scream. All of the spiritual energy in his body poured out as he tried his best to resist. However, no matter how much spiritual energy he used or what spells he used, he could not stop the Flame of Purity's attack. He could only watch as the flame burned his body until he no longer looked human.
The moisture in his body began to evaporate, and his skin began to crack. Fang Yun screamed in agony as he stared at Ling Xian with eyes full of hatred. In the end, he could not withstand this inhumane torture. He yelled, "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, take back the fire!"
"I thought your bones would be tough." Ling Xian waved his hand, and the Flame of Purity left Fang Yun's body and disappeared into thin air.
"Let me go, let me go. Don't torture me anymore." Fang Yun was lying on the ground in exhaustion. His breathing was weak and his eyes were dim. He greedily gasped for air. Half of his body was burnt and he did not even look like a human. The horrifying temperature of the Flame of Purity was evident.
"Then speak. I hate listening to nonsense, so you better be concise."
Ling Xian spoke softly, but to Fang Yun's ears, it was like thunder. He shivered and hurriedly said, "The descendants of the Ling Clan who entered the Hidden Territory have been surrounded by the Fang Clan. I don't know if they've started fighting, but they should be soon."
"Good, what a Fang Clan." Ling Xian's expression darkened, and a murderous intent rose in his heart. "What level of cultivation did the Fang Clan send in?"
"I …" Fang Yun hesitated. He did not want to say it, but he was afraid that Ling Xian would use the strange flame to torture him. He gritted his teeth and confessed, "The strongest is of the seventh level, three are of the sixth level, and the rest are of the fifth level."
Seventh level of Qi?
Ling Xian's heart sank. The strongest person in the Ling Clan was only of the sixth level. There was no way they could win against a seventh level cultivator. So he asked urgently, "Where is the location?"
"I don't know, but if we follow it, we will find it." Fang Yun waved his hand, and in a flash of light, the silhouette of the Thousand-Mile Crane appeared in front of Ling Xian.
"The Thousand-Mile Crane?" Ling Xian frowned. He suddenly understood everything. He looked at Fang Yun with murderous intent. "So you are also a member of the Fang Clan. No wonder you know about this. They invited you to join them in killing the descendants of the Ling Clan."
"Yes, you guessed correctly. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I only ask that you give me a quick death." Fang Yun admitted it. After being burned by the Flame of Purity, he knew very well how terrifying the person before him was and how determined he was. Therefore, he did not plan on using the information to threaten Ling Xian any longer. He just admitted it. Whether he lived or died, it was up to him.
"Very well, it seems like you are ready to die." Ling Xian did not say anything else. He waved his sleeve, and the Thousand-Mile Crane's eyes flashed. As if it had come to life, it flapped its tiny wings and flew out of the cave, heading east.
The Thousand-Mile Crane was only a mechanical beast. Even though its design was intricate, it did not have enough intelligence to determine whether the person controlling it was a friend or a foe.
It only knew how to act according to its initial instructions, which was to pass the information to Fang Yun and lead him back to where he came from. It did not care if the person following it was Fang Yun or not.
Of course, a low-level Thousand-Mile Crane did not have the ability to tell.
Ling Xian glared at Fang Yun coldly. This man tried to kill him while he was meditating. He was also a part of the Ling Clan's plan to kill the Ling Clan's descendants. These two actions were enough to make him pay with his life.
Fortunately, Fang Yun saw Ling Xian's injury and decided to kill him. Otherwise, he would not have heard of the news. If the Ling Clan's descendants were all killed during the battle, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
But no matter what, this man cannot be left alive. He must die.
Ling Xian made up his mind. In a flash, he appeared outside the cave and chased after the Thousand-Mile Crane. He left behind only one sentence that echoed in the cave.
"Xuan Ming Snake, give him a quick death."
… …
The scorching sun shone down a large expanse of golden light, illuminating every inch of the Mystic Realm.
On the grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see, a small and exquisite Thousand Mile Crane was flying at a low altitude. Its speed was neither fast nor slow, and behind it was a black-clothed youth who was running at high speed.
The young man was about 14 or 15 years old. His eyebrows were sharp like swords, his lips were red, and his teeth were white.
If he had a smile on his face and waved his paper fan, anyone who saw him would praise him for being an elegant young man.
However, his jade-like face was filled with killing intent, and it destroyed his elegant and elegant temperament. Instead, it added a baleful aura to him.
"Hold on, wait for me."
Ling Xian's heart was burning with anxiety. He sprinted across the grassland, hoping to arrive before the Fang Clan.
He didn't really care about the others, but he didn't want anything bad to happen to Ling Hu or Ling Tian Xiang. Therefore, he desperately pushed his Qi into his legs and increased his speed to a new level.
Sadly, he could not fly until he reached the foundational level. Running on his legs was not going to be fast enough. At this moment, Ling Xian wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to the Ling Clan.
Wings?
Suddenly, Ling Xian remembered that the second transformation of the Eyes of Execution was a pair of wings.
At this thought, Ling Xian was ecstatic. His eyes turned black and white, and murky air began to swirl around his body. Sadly, no matter how hard he tried, he could not form a pair of wings.
"Is it because my training is not strong enough to perform the second transformation?" Ling Xian frowned. After a while, ignoring his internal injuries, he spat out a mouthful of blood in an attempt to perform the second transformation.
Sadly, even though his body was glowing with nine different colors and the murky air was slowly gathering, he still could not form the second transformation.
"Aye, it seems like with my current level of training, it will be a little difficult for me to achieve the next transformation." Ling Xian sighed and tossed aside this unrealistic thought. He focused on his journey.
However, at this moment, a series of stomping sounds came from behind him, followed by a series of furious roars that resounded through the clouds.
"Dammit, I've been discovered by the beasts." Ling Xian frowned. Turning around, he saw a group of beasts rushing towards him. Their demeanor was overbearing and aggressive.
More than ten beasts of the ninth realm were charging towards Ling Xian. Their threatening demeanor combined into one. Like an army of thousands of men and horses, they made earth-shattering noises and stirred up a cloud of dust.
They howled and roared, their eyes filled with hatred and anger towards Ling Xian.
Seeing the beasts charging at him, Ling Xian's heart sank. He knew that today would not be a peaceful day. If he was at his peak, he wouldn't care about a dozen beasts of the Ninth Realm. However, his internal injuries had not healed yet, and he was worried about Ling Tian Xiang and the others. Naturally, he could not fight with all his strength.
He had no choice but to run. Ling Xian crazily summoned his spiritual energy and ran for his life. However, how could two legs outrun four legs? Before long, he was surrounded by these beasts who looked at him as if he was their father's murderer.
"When it rains, it pours. I can't believe they found me at this critical moment." Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. He was not worried about his own safety. With his abilities, it would not be difficult for him to carve out a bloody path.
However, it would take a lot of time. By that time, Ling Tian Xiang and the others would have become corpses.
But at this point, there was no point in panicking. Ling Xian sighed and looked at the leader of the beasts, the Emerald Eyed White Lion. As if meeting an old friend, he waved and greeted, "What a coincidence, we meet again. Looks like your left eye is completely blind."
Immediately, the Azure Eyed White Lion let out an angry roar that shook the surroundings and intimidated everyone.
"Damned human, die!"
