"Headmaster Tang, please do not blame me. I just came out of isolation yesterday. That is why I am late."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present frowned. For one, it was because Ling Xian arrived late and gave them the feeling that he was arrogant. For another, it was because of the two words he said.
Out of isolation!
These two simple words were like a giant rock falling into a lake, splashing up layers of waves.
After the Qing Ming House was annihilated, they sent people to investigate and found out that all the completion levelled powerhouses were killed by one person.
After they received the news, they all expressed their shock.
Remember that it was the Qing Ming House, a House with more than 20 completion levelled powerhouses. Yet, including Mo Jing Lei, more than 20 completion levelled powerhouses were killed by one person. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
It was because of this reason that they didn't attack the Ao Xian House after it was established. However, after a few years, they found out that they could no longer find out anything about the mysterious powerhouse. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Of course, he disappeared before their eyes.
In this way, these forces began to become restless. After all, they had found out that other than the mysterious powerhouse who destroyed the Qing Ming House, the Ao Xian House didn't have anyone else they could send out.
Yet now that they heard the word "out of isolation", they thought of the mysterious powerhouse and frowned.
Tang Shan, in particular, was preparing to unite all the forces around him. His face was dark and very unsightly.
"Based on your expressions, it seems like you are not happy with me. Could it be that I am late?"
Bright laughter rose again. Then, a silhouette in white floated over from afar. His temperament, his demeanor, he truly was like an immortal who descended into the mortal world.
Instantly, all four Supreme Headmasters focused their gazes on him. As for Chu Zhong Tian behind him, he was automatically ignored.
What could they do? Ling Xian was far too dazzling. It was as if he was the only light source in the world that attracted all the attention. No matter who was standing next to him, they would be outshone by him and would not be able to release any light.
This made Chu Zhong Tian speechless. He thought that next time, he should bring Huang Er with him. At least with him at the bottom, he would be the second to be noticed.
When the Supreme Headmasters saw Ling Xian's appearance, they all gasped in cold air.
It was all because he looked too young, like a sixteen or seventeen year old youth, so young that it was a bit too much. Coupled with his terrifying strength, it made him seem even more overboard.
How could such a young man possess such terrifying battle prowess?
The sect leaders were bewildered, but they were the leaders of a sect after all, so they still had the basic calmness. Therefore, everyone snapped back to reality from their shock and revealed a half-hearted smile.
"Haha, don't say that. It's not a big deal to be late."
Tang Shan laughed brightly, hiding the shock and anger he felt. "You must be the Supreme Headmaster of the Ao Xian House. I wonder what your name is?"
With a smile on his face, Ling Xian uttered out a word.
"Ling."
Hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed across Tang Shan's face.
He asked for Ling Xian's name, but Ling Xian only said his surname. This was not a big deal. But when it came to a domineering person like him, it became a kind of contempt.
However, he didn't show it on his face and continued to smile.
"Alright, alright, Headmaster Ling, please sit."
Tang Shan extended his right hand and gestured for Ling Xian to sit.
"Alright."
Ling Xian softly grinned and scanned Tang Shan with his Qi. He found out that this person was at the peak of the completion level. He didn't break through from the undefeatable realm of the foundational level, nor was he at the undefeatable realm of the completion level.
This made him shake his head with a smile. With such capabilities, he dared to think about swallowing the Ao Xian House?
However, he didn't say much. He walked over to a chair and sat down. He gestured for Chu Zhong Tian to sit as well.
As he was checking out Tang Shan, this person and the other three Supreme Headmasters were also checking out his cultivation level. Sadly, they couldn't find anything. All they felt was that the young man before them was shrouded in a layer of fog.
This caused all of them to be even more bewildered.
"Headmaster Tang, since you are the one who started this gathering, then you should be the host."
After sitting down, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Tang Shan, who was sitting at the head of the table. His gaze was teasing.
"Alright, then I will not pass on this responsibility."
Tang Shan retracted his smile and glanced around, "There's nothing much to say. I just want us to form an alliance. If we run into danger, we can help each other and fight against the enemies."
Run into danger?
Fight against the enemies?
The three Supreme Headmasters rolled their eyes. These words could fool a three year old, but they weren't idiots. Why would they believe Tang Shan's bullsh * t?
Ling Xian, on the other hand, had a teasing look on his face and made a statement that changed the color on their faces.
"Headmaster Tang's suggestion is not bad. I support it."
Dammit!
Was he a three year old and couldn't see through Tang Shan's wild ambition?
The three of them cursed under their breath and stared at Ling Xian with some anger.
Tang Shan, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. "Haha, Headmaster Ling sure is reasonable."
"Headmaster Tang, you are flattering me."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and ignored the three's cold stares. He once again made a statement that silenced the entire place.
"However, I wonder who would be the best candidate for the position of Alliance Leader?"
At this, the anger in the three Supreme Headmasters' eyes turned into suspicion. They couldn't figure out what he was planning. Everyone with eyes could tell that Tang Shan was determined to win the leader's seat. This was why they were in a dilemma.
Yet at this moment, Ling Xian was asking who should be the leader. No matter how they looked at it, it was provocative.
He was not here with good intentions.
Tang Shan frowned and the way he looked at Ling Xian turned cold. He could feel the unfriendliness in this statement.
Therefore, he said in a low voice, "The leader's seat naturally belongs to the most capable. Whoever among us is the most capable will be the leader."
"Is that so?"
Ling Xian teasingly smiled, "But on my way here, I have seen the Tian Xuan House decorated with lanterns and banners. It feels like you, Headmaster Tang, have already decided on the leader's seat. "
At this, everyone was once again shocked. They didn't think he would be so daring to bring this up.
Though they all knew what the Tian Xuan House's goal was, nobody dared to say it out loud. That would mean they were going to fight. But now, Ling Xian had brought this up. What was the difference between this and declaring war?
There was no difference!
Therefore, the three Supreme Headmasters were in shock. Tang Shan was furious.
His face was heavy like water and there was no longer a trace of a smile on his face. He said coldly, "Alright, what a newborn calf. Since you have brought this up, then I won't waste any more time. "
"Oh?"
Ling Xian's expression was taunting and he remained calm, "Since I won't waste any more time, then speak. I don't have much time to waste here."
"Good, very good."
Tang Shan's expression was dark as he glanced at Ling Xian. Then, he glanced at the three Supreme Headmasters and uttered out a dominating statement.
"I, Tang Shan, am taking the leader's seat. Whoever doesn't agree, I will send them on their way."
