It was already evening. The Sun was shedding down faint red light that was extremely beautiful.
On top of a mountain peak, Ling Xian was frowning and his face was full of worry.
This was because he heard a terrible piece of bad news on his way to that place.
The ancient ruin that contained a great fortune had appeared and was discovered by a young descendant. Then, within half an hour, the entire Shang Qing Sect heard about it.
In other words, Ling Xian was one step too late.
Now that the ruin was being guarded by the Shang Qing Sect's management. Even a fly cannot enter, let alone a human.
This meant his plan had been completely messed up. Originally, he planned on waiting there. Once the ruin opens, he would sneak in and take away the fortune.
But now, nothing would work. Other than fighting the Shang Qing Sect head on and using violence, there was no other way.
Of course, he could choose to give up. But why would he give up?
"Aye, could this be God's will?"
Ling Xian stood on top of the mountain peak and bathed in the faint red light. He softly sighed.
The ruin had appeared and the Shang Qing Sect's management was guarding it. This meant if he didn't want to give up, then other than starting a war, there was no other way.
Starting a war meant death.
Yes, even though the Array of the Astonished Gods owed him a favor and may choose to help him, even though Hong Chen Jun Zhu and the demon were very powerful. However, compared to the Shang Qing Sect, all of their powers were minuscule.
If Ling Xian wanted to escape after getting his hands on the fortune, then he might have a chance of winning. But if he starts a war head on, then other than dying, there would be no other result.
What could he do? The Shang Qing Sect was far too capable. Even with two fifth leveled cultivators, they had no chance of winning. Plus, one of the Array of the Astonished Gods may not be willing to help him.
After all, the Array of the Astonished Gods was the protector of the Shang Qing Sect. Even if it owes Ling Xian a giant favor, it may not be willing to help him.
In other words, this was a terrible situation and one that was not in his favor at all!
"I cannot believe I was one step too late. Great, I have forced myself into a dead end."
Ling Xian sighed deeply. He didn't do anything tiring, but his face was full of tiredness.
"That fortuitous opportunity is related to the future, I can't give it up. But now, the ruins have appeared. Even if I take the risk, I may not be able to steal it. "
Chuckling bitterly, Ling Xian's face was full of worry. He didn't think things would turn out like this.
The sudden appearance of the ruins not only disrupted his overall plan, but also forced him to the edge of a cliff.
Take a step forward and fall into the abyss, take a step back and you'll see the sky and the sea.
At first glance, there seemed to be no need to hesitate. Even a fool would choose to retreat. But if he took a step back and the sky turned black, would he still take a step back?
Perhaps others would retreat, but not Ling Xian.
No matter how difficult the road to the peak was, he would never retreat!
"I can't retreat. This matter concerns my future, and it also concerns whether I can reach the peak."
Ling Xian's expression turned determined, "However, I cannot fight the Shang Qing Sect head on. If I do, I will die for sure. But, what should I do? "
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, his brows knitted into a crease.
Charging forward when you know you're going to die isn't courage, it isn't persistence, it's complete stupidity. Therefore, he will not fight the Shang Qing Sect head on. At least not right now.
"What a headache. No matter how I think about it, I can't think of a solution."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Not only did he not have a solution, he didn't even have a clue. This made him feel helpless and he mumbled, "Could it be that I have to give up on that fortune?"
Then, he sighed deeply and his face was full of bitterness.
If there really was no other way, then he would have to take a step back. Could it be that he will have to fight head on and leave his life at the Shang Qing Sect?
"Based on the current situation, I can only wait for the right opportunity."
Ling Xian softly sighed. It wasn't that he didn't think about Yu Wu Xiu, but very quickly, he tossed that idea away.
It was useless. Yu Wu Xiu's identity really didn't count. Even the Supreme Headmaster had to give her some face. But that was only for small matters. For something as big as an ancient ruin, she has no right to make decisions.
This was why Ling Xian was as helpless as he was right now. He was even hopeless.
Because all the methods he had thought of were useless. In other words, other than giving up, there was no other way out.
"I don't want to give up. For that fortune, I hid my identity and entered the Shang Qing Sect. I cannot believe that I would end up with nothing. "
Ling Xian sighed deeply. His face was full of exhaustion.
It was rare for him to look like this. It was obvious that he really had no other way.
"Perhaps this is fate. The current situation can be said to be extremely terrible. Apart from giving up, there really is no other way out."
Ling Xian's face was full of exhaustion as he stood on top of the mountain peak like a statue.
Only after a long while did he return to his senses. However, his pitch-black eyes had lost their usual luster.
"Oh well, I will observe for a while. If there really is no other way, then I will have to give up." Ling Xian softly sighed. Then, he made a move and headed towards the Hall of Mission.
Since he couldn't get his hands on that fortune, then he cannot give up his other goal of coming to the Shang Qing Sect.
Therefore, he planned on observing the ancient ruin while doing missions to earn enough contribution points to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique.
After some time, Ling Xian arrived at the grand Hall of Mission. The moment he marched in, everyone in the hall gasped in shock.
What could he do? He was far too famous.
Master Xian who excelled in arrays and crafts. He was a Heaven's Favorite who won all four paths. No matter which one it was, everyone would remember him. When these two identities converged on one person, the impact it created was without a doubt, intense.
Therefore, when someone recognized Ling Xian, the entire grand hall boiled.
All gazes were fixated on him. There was shock, jealousy, and respect.
But right now, Ling Xian was in no mood to care about this. He went straight to the second floor and entered a private room.
Then, he began a new round of crazy missions. Everyone in the hall began another round of shock.
However, there was only one thing on Ling Xian's mind, and that was how to get his hands on that fortune.
However, one day passed, two days passed, a full ten days passed, and he still did not find any clues.
This made his eyes dimmer and dimmer, and even a few strands of white hair appeared on his temples.
Remember that even though 50 years of his life was taken away, his appearance didn't change at all. Yet now, he was so worried that his hair was white. What did this mean?
It meant his helplessness, his hopelessness!
"Could it be, there is really no other way?"
Ling Xian's face was pale and his eyes were dim. It was as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss and couldn't see a single ray of light.
