In recent months, all topics of interest in Yuezhou had disappeared. All the powerful powerhouses were no longer mentioned.
This was all because a monster named Ling Xian had appeared out of nowhere.
All the heaven-defying feats he had done had spread across the entire Yuezhou and shocked the entire place.
He killed the leader of alchemy at the Shang Qing Sect and took the Soaring Key. Then, when the Shang Qing Sect sent out all their forces, he easily left.
He fought against the leader of the Dao Peak and killed him as a completion leveled cultivator. Then, he killed the Heaven's Favorites and the First Elder of all the different forces. He was undefeatable in the completion level!
In the end, he fought for thousands of miles with his sword and killed hundreds of powerhouses.
Among them were five original leveled cultivators of the beginning stage!
Which one of these things wasn't a heaven-defying act? Naturally, the entire Yuezhou was shaken!
However, shock was shock and fear was fear. None of the different forces in Yuezhou gave up. Ignoring the temptation of the Soaring Key, the fact that their own disciples and elders had died was enough to make them send out more troops.
In other words, other than a few forces, most of the forces in Yuezhou hated Ling Xian and had to kill him no matter what.
Therefore, when the news of him entering the Forest of Heavenly Trees spread around, most forces rushed to the Forest of Heavenly Trees.
Though everyone knew very well that it was a forbidden place that was filled with deadly poison. However, they were all famous forces, so how could they not have any antidote divine items?
Therefore, after preparing some antidotes, all original leveled cultivators of Yuezhou headed to the Forest of Heavenly Trees in an attempt to kill Ling Xian.
However, the poison in the Forest of Heavenly Trees was far too terrifying. When a force's men went in and never came out, the other major forces stopped in their tracks one after another.
This was especially so after many forces tried to probe but failed, which gave them a huge headache.
They finally realized that the poison in the Forest of Heavenly Trees was far too strong. Even with all sorts of antidotes, it was useless.
Therefore, all the forces were in trouble. They had no choice but to gather together and discuss what to do.
Currently, the Sun had just risen. All the leaders of the different forces gathered together to discuss how to enter the Forest of Heavenly Trees and kill Ling Xian.
"This man sure is insane. As a completion levelled cultivator, he has been able to kill original levelled cultivators one after another. How impressive."
"That's right. I've lived for a long time. What kind of geniuses have I not seen? However, I've never seen anyone as abnormal as this kid. "
"Even though the ancient records say that after reaching the undefeatable realm of the completion level, one can fight against a normal cultivator of the beginning stage of the original level. Throughout history, there have been many who have killed original leveled cultivators. But this young man has crossed two levels and killed the leader of the Dao Peak. How heaven-defying. "
Everyone chimed in. The first thing they said was not to discuss how to deal with Ling Xian, but to compliment him. It could be seen that even though they were opponents, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Fortunately, there were still people who understood where they stood.
It was the Shang Qing Sect's Supreme Headmaster, Ji Qian Bai.
The Shang Qing Sect lost two original leveled cultivators to Ling Xian and took away four treasures. Even their reputation was completely destroyed by Ling Xian.
Because of this, he naturally hated Ling Xian. Why would he compliment him?
"Everyone, we are gathered here to discuss how to kill Ling Xian, not to compliment him." Ji Qian Bai hissed coldly, silencing the entire place.
Everyone smiled awkwardly. But very quickly, their smiles turned cold. Their tone changed from compliments to how to kill Ling Xian.
They all talked at once and discussed how to enter the Forest of Heavenly Trees. There wasn't much to discuss. If they want to kill Ling Xian, they must enter the Forest of Heavenly Trees.
If they want to enter this poisonous place, they must have a heavenly treasure that can defend against the poison. But the difficult part was, none of them had such a treasure.
"The Shang Qing Sect does have one."
Ji Qian Bai spoke softly, "This item is called the Pearl of a Thousand Poison. I am sure everyone has heard of this item."
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Then, they revealed a look of joy.
"Who hasn't heard of the Pearl of a Thousand Poison? Not only is this item a dominating treasure, but it can also cure all poisons in the world. It is a rare treasure. "
"The Shang Qing Sect after all. They sure have deep roots. They even have a treasure like this."
"Haha, Headmaster Ji, why didn't you say so earlier? With this item, why would we waste time? Let's activate it and break this forest! "
"Not now."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Ji Qian Bai appeared proud, "Originally, I thought a normal antidote would be enough. That's why I didn't bring the Pearl with me. Just now, I told the Peak Leader to go get it. He will be back in about 10 days. "
"Alright, then 10 days from now will be the day of Ling Xian's death." A grey-haired elder gritted his teeth, "He killed more than 10 elders of the Bei Dou House. We cannot live under the same sky!"
Everyone's face was full of hatred. They didn't think that if they didn't have the intention to kill and steal, they wouldn't have lost so many people.
"Then it's decided. When the time comes, I will use the Pearl to protect everyone and we will capture Ling Xian together."
Ji Qian Bai faintly grinned, as if his scheme had succeeded, "As for how to distribute the Soaring Keys, after we kill Ling Xian, we will fight for them. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the influential figures fell into silence. They all looked at Ji Qian Bai with a strange gaze.
Some of the smarter ones even guessed Ji Qian Bai's plan.
However, nobody stood out to argue. After all, everyone's goal was the same – to kill Ling Xian and acquire the Soaring Keys.
Therefore, despite knowing that there was a trap, they had to borrow the Pearl's power.
"Since nobody is speaking, then I will take it as you all agreeing." Ji Qian Bai softly smiled. Staring at the silhouette in the middle of the Forest of Heavenly Trees, his eyes were full of killer's intent.
"In 10 days, we will kill that person."
…
Ji Qian Bai and them could see Ling Xian. Similarly, Ling Xian, who was sitting on top of the tree, could see them.
When these people arrived, Ling Xian had already seen them. He watched as they tried to enter but lost many people. He watched as they thought hard but couldn't get in.
He had also seen the scene of those people gathering together just now. Though he didn't know what they were talking about, he knew that they were discussing how to deal with him.
This made his heart drop to the bottom of an abyss. He felt a pressure he had never felt before.
"They are all smiling. It seems like they have found a way to enter the Forest of Heavenly Trees." Ling Xian mumbled. He couldn't help but feel sad.
He was at the critical moment of his breakthrough. Though he could split his attention, he couldn't move. In other words, once those powerhouses enter, he won't be able to fight back.
Outside, there was a group of enemies who wanted to tear him into pieces. Inside, there was a difficulty in breaking through that prevented him from leaving. Because of this, no matter how strong his mentality was, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Is this … the best I can do?"
