Inside the cave, Ling Xian paced around as he waited for this destined battle to begin.
His mood was very complicated and contradictory. He was somewhat expectant, but also somewhat timid.
He was anticipating this and getting rid of his inner demon. He was afraid because he was afraid that Yu Wu Xiu would use that evil treasure on him again. He wasn't afraid that his talent would be taken away, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle the heart-wrenching pain.
However, Ling Xian knew very well that he had no way out. No matter how much he didn't want to face it, he had to.
Therefore, he suppressed his complex emotions and quietly waited for the woman's arrival.
After a while, a light chuckle with an indecipherable meaning rang out softly.
"Xian Ling, I cannot believe you are here as well."
Yu Wu Xiu had a faint smile on her face. Her steps were light like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Her demeanor was out of this world and out of this world.
"I am here as well?"
Ling Xian chuckled. He knew very well that it wasn't a coincidence that Yu Wu Xiu was here. She came here with a plan. She only had one goal, and that was to transfer his talent to herself.
If that was the case, then why was she acting surprised?
"You are here."
Speaking softly, Ling Xian slowly turned around and stared at the beautiful woman before him. His expression was a little hazy.
Because right now, Yu Wu Xiu was wearing a blue dress. Her sleeves were fluttering in the wind, just like when they first met.
This evoked his memories, memories of carefree happiness, and memories of heartbreak.
Hearing Ling Xian's calm and unsurprised words, Yu Wu Xiu raised an eyebrow and was a little confused.
She thought that when this young man saw her, even if he didn't reveal a surprised expression, he would at least be surprised. Why was he so calm now?
Yes, Ling Xian's expression right now was cold. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.
This made Yu Wu Xiu have a bad feeling. However, she was a smart woman and didn't ask why Ling Xian was acting this way. Instead, she continued to smile.
"I almost forgot that you were the champion of the four halls and obtained the four highest grade Dao Comprehension Tokens. But I didn't expect that we would come to Enlightenment Cliff at the same time. Is this fate? "
Yu Wu Xiu's steps were light and graceful. She had a bright smile on her face. She was truly beautiful and captivating.
Sadly, Ling Xian maintained his emotionless demeanor and was not at all moved.
He had already seen through this woman. In her heart, everything could be used. Perhaps she also had love, but in order to reach the peak, she could sacrifice everything, including love.
However, even though he had seen through it, he could not let it go.
But now, he had made up his mind. No matter what, he had to put an end to this.
Seeing Ling Xian's nonchalance, Yu Wu Xiu's frown deepened. However, the smile on her face grew brighter.
"I haven't congratulated you yet. You single-handedly became the champion of all four halls. This is the first of its kind."
"Congratulations?"
Ling Xian's lips curled into a smile that was hard to understand, "How much of what you're saying is sincere?"
"Of course I'm congratulating you wholeheartedly. I have no ill intentions towards you." Yu Wu Xiu's smile was soft and sweet. Like a fairy who had just descended to the mortal world, she had the looks to suppress the world and the temperament to match her.
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile and decided not to waste any more time with this woman. Therefore, he made a statement that startled Yu Wu Xiu.
"Isn't your goal here to steal my talent? Why do you have to pretend that you have no ill intentions towards me? "
At those words, Yu Wu Xiu froze where she stood as if she was struck by lightning.
Impossible!
How did he know her goal?
Yu Wu Xiu widened her eyes and her fists tightened. She felt like she had fallen into an icy hell and her entire body was cold.
She couldn't imagine how her plan would be found out by someone else. If anyone else knew, then it wouldn't be a big deal. But the person she wanted to steal knew about it!
This meant Ling Xian most likely already knew about it. Or maybe he was purposely baiting her!
Thinking about it this way, Yu Wu Xiu's face was full of disbelief. She felt cold all over her body and was shivering.
"Are you surprised?"
Ling Xian's lips curled into a sarcastic and cold smile, "Are you saying that you are the only one allowed to scheme against me and I am not allowed to bait you?"
Hearing this, the shock on Yu Wu Xiu's face intensified and her entire body felt even colder.
At this moment, she finally realized something.
Their first encounter with Ling Xian was no coincidence, it was premeditated. Then, he helped the Array of the Astonished Gods and won all four paths. It was all to display his talent and bait her.
This made her realize that she had fallen into a trap since the beginning.
After realizing this, Yu Wu Xiu felt cold all over her body as if she had fallen into an icy hell. However, as much as she felt cold, she was more confused.
She couldn't understand. There was no hatred between them, so why would he try to bait her?
"Who are you? I don't remember ever offending you. "
Yu Wu Xiu stared at Ling Xian fixedly. Slowly, she regained her composure and regained her usual calmness.
It was obvious that she was very confident about her capabilities.
"Did I offend you?"
Ling Xian mumbled. Remembering how Yu Wu Xiu tore his heart apart and how he would never recover, he felt some hatred. But when he thought that it was an illusion, he felt a little helpless.
To be honest, though the people and objects inside the Hidden Territory were real, everything related to him was a result of the Hidden Territory's own actions. In other words, in reality, there was no hatred between him and Yu Wu Xiu.
Sadly, he couldn't forget this woman, which gave birth to his inner demons. Therefore, to prevent himself from being disturbed by his inner demons, he had to end this.
"Before, you didn't offend me. But now, you have offended me." Ling Xian spoke softly and asked a question Yu Wu Xiu couldn't answer.
"Tell me the truth. Even if I didn't bait you, after learning of my talent, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Hearing this, Yu Wu Xiu froze and couldn't speak.
Just like he said, even if he didn't set her up, after learning of his heaven-defying talent, she would still be tempted. Because she craved talent far too much and she wanted to climb to the peak.
Rather than saying Ling Xian was scheming against her, it was more accurate to say she had evil intentions towards him. If she didn't have any evil intentions, why would she take the bait?
In the end, this was all Yu Wu Xiu's fault. Therefore, she couldn't argue.
Seeing this, Ling Xian laughed at himself. His heart sank and turned cold.
He really hoped that Yu Wu Xiu didn't have evil intentions towards him and that she didn't come here today. Sadly, things didn't go as he wished. This woman, who would do anything to achieve her goals, came.
But this was good. He could finally let go of this woman.
"Since you can't speak, then hurry up and do it. That way, I can finally let go of everything." Ling Xian softly sighed.
"Very well."
Yu Wu Xiu's expression turned cold and she decided to not be nice anymore, "Since you know everything, then I won't waste any more time. Hand over your talent and perhaps I will let you live."
"How are you so sure you can defeat me?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. Since he dared to lure Yu Wu Xiu here, why wouldn't he have the confidence to win?
No matter how terrifying that evil treasure was, he had the confidence to defeat it!
"After all, you are merely a foundational cultivator. So what if you know my plan? Other than surprising me, do you really think you can make me retreat? "
Yu Wu Xiu's expression was emotionless. Like an Empress, she peered down at Ling Xian.
In the beginning, she was a little flustered. But that was a normal reaction after being exposed by him. Unless one had already predicted it, anyone would be at a loss of what to do.
But now, she was certain that Ling Xian was merely a foundational cultivator. Naturally, she regained her usual calmness.
After all, she was a completion leveled cultivator. Against a foundational ant, wasn't it a piece of cake?
"I really don't know where you get your confidence from. Is it because you used medicinal Dans to get to the completion level?" Ling Xian glared at Yu Wu Xiu, the stubbornness in his heart faded.
As much as he was happy, he was also a little lonely.
"So what I used medicinal Dans to get there? Suppressing you is as easy as flipping my hand. "
Yu Wu Xiu naturally revealed her arrogance. The way she looked at Ling Xian was full of heat, "When I acquire your natural talent, I will be able to train again. When that happens, my cultivation will no longer be based on medicinal Dans."
"That depends on whether or not you have the ability."
Noticing Yu Wu Xiu's greedy stare, the stubbornness in Ling Xian's heart disappeared even faster.
At this moment, he suddenly felt like the woman before him was very ugly. Though he understood her ambition, her unscrupulous methods were a bit over the line.
Just then, he suddenly remembered Lin Qing Yi. To achieve her goal, would she steal his natural talent?
She wouldn't.
Ling Xian was very certain that the gentle woman would not allow him to be hurt in the slightest.
"Isn't suppressing you as easy as crushing an ant?" Yu Wu Xiu's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. The way she looked at Ling Xian was like she was looking at a rare treasure. Her eyes were full of naked greed.
"Then why don't you try. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Ling Xian spoke softly. He knew very well that if Yu Wu Xiu uses the Pearl of Opportunity, then his inner demon will completely disappear. He was happy to see this result.
"Trust me. What you are waiting for is eternal damnation and eternal darkness."
Yu Wu Xiu had a confident smile on her face. With a thought, the Pearl of Opportunity appeared in her hand.
Immediately, two rays of black and white light surrounded Ling Xian and released an eerie energy that locked him down where he stood.
Seeing this, Yu Wu Xiu's smile turned even brighter. Her steps were light as she slowly walked towards Ling Xian. Her calm demeanor reflected her confidence.
It was obvious that she was certain that Ling Xian's natural talent would be taken away by her.
"How about it? You are already under my control. The moment I activate this treasure, your natural talent will be transferred to me." Yu Wu Xiu teasingly smiled, anticipating Ling Xian's panicked look.
Sadly, she was disappointed.
Ling Xian was as calm as ever. Looking at the confident woman before him, he teased, "Are you sure you can take away my natural talent?"
