Currently, the Sun had just risen. Faint golden light shone down and brightened up the forest.
The forest was silent. There were no beasts howling and no birds chirping.
Under this silent atmosphere, the killer's intent from the three men before the cave was getting colder and colder, making everyone shudder.
However, Ling Xian wasn't afraid. He was merely a little surprised. Surprised that the pursuers weren't from the Shang Qing Sect.
Because the three of them had a mountain peak embroidered on their chests. There was only one force with this symbol – the Tai Yue House.
This House was also a famous force in Yuezhou. Though they were a few levels lower than the Shang Qing Sect, they had two to three original leveled cultivators and could be considered dominating.
Therefore, these three men were very arrogant. The moment they saw Ling Xian, they unleashed their killer's intent.
"You are Ling Xian, right? Hand over the Soaring Key and I will spare your life!"
The middle-aged man leading the group was extremely arrogant. The moment he spoke, Ling Xian frowned.
He really didn't think that the Tai Yue House would know about the Soaring Key. Because only the upper management of the Shang Qing Sect knew about this. If Ji Qian Bai and them wanted to keep this treasure for themselves, then they wouldn't tell anyone about it.
Remember that this was the Soaring Key that everyone in the world would go crazy over!
If this gets leaked, then no matter how capable the Shang Qing Sect was, they can forget about keeping it for themselves!
Therefore, Ling Xian was confused and asked, "How did you know? How did you find me? "
"You still don't know?"
The middle-aged man leading the group laughed. The man behind him laughed as well. However, no matter how you look at it, their smiles were taunting and they all had ill intentions.
"Idiot! The news that you acquired the Soaring Key has spread. In the entire Yuezhou, nobody doesn't know about this! "
"How pitiful. All the cultivators in Yuezhou are after him, yet he doesn't know about it. How laughable."
"This idiot is probably over excited. Haha. But honestly speaking, we sure are lucky. The elder only drew a rough area. I cannot believe we actually found him! "
The three of them chimed in. Other than sarcasm, they were exclaiming over their own good fortune.
Listening to the three of them, Ling Xian slowly understood. His face darkened as well.
Based on their brief descriptions, one thing became clear. The news of him acquiring the Soaring Key had spread throughout Yuezhou. And this treasure represented the only hope of ascending to immortality. It was a temptation that no one could refuse.
This meant that the endless storm had arrived, and he was in an unprecedented crisis!
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian's face darken? However, he also knew that there was no turning back. It was most important to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.
Therefore, he was too lazy to waste words with them. He waved his hand, "I am not in a good mood right now. You better disappear now. Or else, don't blame me for being rude."
"Kid, what did you say?"
The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold, "Do you know who you are talking to?"
"Talking to you." Ling Xian glared at him. A mere completion levelled cultivator, he really didn't think much of him.
"How dare you!"
"This is Elder Meng of the Taiyue Sect. Are you tired of living?"
The other two scolded him, acting like they were his lackeys.
Hearing their words, the middle-aged man became more arrogant, "Did you hear that? If you know what's good for you, hand over the Soaring Key. Maybe I will be merciful and spare your worthless life."
"Interesting."
Ling Xian laughed. He teasingly looked at this person, "Since you know I have the Soaring Key, don't you know how I got it?"
"How?"
The middle-aged man was startled. He only knew that Ling Xian acquired the Soaring Key, but he didn't know how.
At this, Ling Xian frowned and became more and more confused. Because logically speaking, if he knew he had the Soaring Key, then he would know about his bloody battles.
But this man's expression didn't look fake. Why wouldn't he be confused?
"Since you don't know, then I will let you know now." Ling Xian spoke softly, "I also want to ask you something."
Then, he marched forward one step and his white robe danced in the wind!
HOMMMM!
A violent wind blew in the forest and thunder rumbled on the ground. Heavenly energy poured out of Ling Xian as he marched forward. The moment he arrived before the man, he was flung out.
There was no suspense. Because the answer was revealed in an instant. There was no resistance. Because the gap between them was far too big.
"Elder Meng!"
The two young men exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with shock.
The man named Elder Meng was full of awe. As he puked out blood, he pointed at Ling Xian shakily but couldn't say a word.
Not even in his dreams did he think that the young man before him would use his Qi to render him defenseless!
"Now you know how strong I am."
In a flash, Ling Xian arrived before Elder Meng and teased, "To tell you the truth, I acquired the legendary Soaring Key from the Shang Qing Sect's territory."
"What?!"
Elder Meng was in awe and waves of emotions were crashing inside him.
After what happened just now, he had learned of Ling Xian's powerfulness. At the very least, Ling Xian was a few levels stronger than him. But he really didn't think that the person before him would be able to steal something from the Shang Qing Sect!
They were the true giants of Yuezhou. Their capabilities were unimaginable!
Yet Ling Xian had acquired the Soaring Key from this giant. How unbelievable was this?
That was heaven-defying!
"It looks like you really don't know."
Seeing how shocked this person was, Ling Xian frowned and became more and more confused.
Logically speaking, if they knew he had the Soaring Key, then they would know about what happened to the Shang Qing Sect. Yet these people didn't know about the bloody battles he fought and how he paved out a path for himself.
This made him feel very strange.
Therefore, Ling Xian's gaze turned cold, "Elder Meng, right? Tell me everything that happened from beginning to end. Or else, you know the consequences. "
"I will speak, I will speak now."
Elder Meng shuddered. After learning that Ling Xian could steal something from the Shang Qing Sect, he no longer had the thought of going against him. The arrogance on his face turned into fear.
"Here's what happened."
Elder Meng carefully thought of his words and told him everything that happened from beginning to end.
This made Ling Xian's expression darken. In the end, it was so dark that it looked like water was about to drip out.
Around 10 days ago, the news about him acquiring the Soaring Key suddenly appeared. At first, it was only a small circle of people. But after merely two days, this news, as if it had wings, spread across the entire Yuezhou.
What could they do? This was related to the hope of ascension. Naturally, it caused a commotion.
Then, the entire Yuezhou boiled. Whether it was nomadic cultivators or different forces, they all sent people to search for Ling Xian.
In other words, he had become the target of everyone in Yuezhou and was truly in a life and death crisis!
Ignoring the endless number of nomadic cultivators, the powerful forces alone were enough to make anyone hopeless!
