Though Ling Xian's Qi was dormant, his soul was still there. Especially after he broke through to the original level, he became even more powerful.
Therefore, before he left the square, he attached a strand of his soul to Yu Wu Xiu in order to find her.
Now, he had arrived at the hotel Yu Wu Xiu was staying at.
"What happened back then, there are only two things I don't understand. First, how did Bai Xiao Qi and them get the information? Second, who was it that spread the news about the Soaring Key. "
Staring at the three-story building, Ling Xian squinted, "Yu Wu Xiu, it better not be you. Or else don't blame me for being ruthless."
Then, in a flash, he broke through the window and arrived at Yu Wu Xiu's room.
When he entered, this woman was sitting before her dresser and staring at her beautiful face in the mirror. Other than pride, there was some sadness on her face.
It was true that she was proud of herself. Because of her beautiful face, she became the goddess of countless male cultivators. It also helped her acquire the title of the God of Flowers. But at the same time, if a beautiful woman doesn't have a capable partner, then her fate is predictable. She will become the plaything of the powerful figures.
This was perhaps one of the reasons why she didn't care about anything to climb to the top.
When she saw Ling Xian in the mirror, the pride and sadness on her face turned into shock. It was as if she had seen a ghost!
"You … you didn't die?"
Yu Wu Xiu stood up with a bang and subconsciously retreated to the corner of the wall. She stared at Ling Xian in awe.
"I have disappointed you." Ling Xian's expression was calm and his eyes were emotionless. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes were full of awe. She forced herself to calm down and mumbled, "No, that's not right. The inhibition spell inside me has disappeared. This means that you've died once, so the current you has defied the heavens and come back to life? "
Her voice was shaking at the last sentence. Because this guess was far too unbelievable!
Resurrection!
That was harder than climbing up to the sky!
However, Ling Xian's energy was not fake. It meant he truly was resurrected and had returned!
"You guessed right."
Ling Xian spoke softly as he stared at the beautiful woman before him. There was no longer any emotion in his eyes. There was only indifference, even colder than when he looked at a passerby.
After Lin Qing Yi and the others sacrificed their lives to save him, he finally understood who was the one he should love. A woman like Yu Wu Xiu was not worthy of him having any feelings for her.
Therefore, he responded coldly and got straight to the point, "I don't want to waste time with you. I just want to ask you a question. Were you the one who spread the news of the Soaring Key ten years ago? "
Hearing this, Yu Wu Xiu was a little startled. Her expression was very natural and didn't look like she was faking it. Then, she slowly but firmly shook her head and said, "No."
"Are you sure?"
Ling Xian glared at the woman and instantly appeared behind her. His long and slender palm silently rested on her throat.
"If you dare to speak a single lie, my hand will crush your throat."
At those words, Yu Wu Xiu felt like she was struck by lightning and her body began to shake uncontrollably. She could hear the seriousness in Ling Xian's voice and felt the cold killer's intent.
However, her conscience was clear.
Therefore, Yu Wu Xiu calmed down her fear and said, "Ling Xian, I really didn't do this. Back then, I didn't even know you stole the Soaring Key."
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned slightly. His Qi had surrounded Yu Wu Xiu. If she was lying, he would've sensed it.
However, he didn't. In other words, this woman wasn't lying. But if it wasn't her, who could it be?
Only a few people knew about the Soaring Key. The higher-ups of the Shang Qing Sect weren't dumb enough to spread the news around Yuezhou.
"Interesting."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and strangely felt strange. It was as if there was a hand in the dark controlling everything.
This made him shiver. Even with his mentality, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Is the legend of the Soaring Key real or fake? Does the door to the immortal world exist? Who was the one who spread the news of me obtaining the Ascension Key? "
Strangely, Ling Xian suddenly thought of these things. He felt like they were connected, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
This made him frown and he mumbled, "This is very strange."
Then, he let go of Yu Wu Xiu's throat and reappeared three steps away.
Since he was certain that this woman wasn't the one who spread the news, then there was no need for him to kill more people.
"Ehem, ehem, you believe me now?"
Yu Wu Xiu coughed twice. Her face was full of joy from surviving a disaster. She was really scared that Ling Xian would be ruthless and kill her right here.
Ling Xian glared at her, "I won't kill you today and I won't place any inhibition spells on you. You better behave yourself."
"What do you mean behave myself?"
Yu Wu Xiu's lips curled into a cold smile, "Not taking someone else's talent means you are doing your best?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian softly shook his head and didn't say anything.
He knew of Yu Wu Xiu's desire and knew of her sorrow. From her perspective, it wasn't wrong for her to steal people's talents in order to reach the peak.
However, just because you have talent, you can reach the peak? No. Talent is important, but without an unwavering heart, no matter how talented you are, you cannot be undefeatable.
Ling Xian had the heart to follow the Dao. Or else no matter how talented he was, he wouldn't have lasted until now.
Don't forget, he was a person that was not tolerated by the heavens. Every step he took was the same as going against the heavens. If it weren't for his determined heart, he wouldn't even be able to break the natural chains in his body. How could he have ascended so quickly?
Though Yu Wu Xiu's goal was clear and she was aiming for the peak, she was wrong.
Therefore, Ling Xian felt too lazy to waste any more time with Yu Wu Xiu. He turned around and left the hotel.
Now, he no longer had anything to do with this woman. The next time they meet, they will truly be strangers.
After Ling Xian left the hotel, he floated in midair and stared in the direction of Yunzhou.
His anger had been vented and the seven Sects and 18 Houses had admitted defeat. This meant the hatred between them was over. At the same time, he had acquired the Holy Spirit Water. Though he didn't find the person who spread the news, at least he eliminated one major suspect.
Therefore, his trip to Yuezhou was complete. It was time for him to return to his hometown.
"I wonder how they are doing after all these years."
Thinking about his friends and family in Yunzhou, Ling Xian couldn't help but to reveal a faint smile. When he thought about his enemies, his expression turned cold.
He remembered very clearly that the three royal beast kinds sent troops to the Wan Jian House and forced him to cut off all ties with the Wan Jian House and leave the Wan Jian House.
He had to avenge this!
Therefore, Ling Xian made up his mind. After he returns to Yunzhou, he will find them one by one and complain!
"The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the three foreign kinds, just you wait."
Looking towards the southwest, Ling Xian squinted his eyes and they were full of cold killer's intent.
"I will be returning soon. Are you ready?"
With that, he tore open space with all his might and hurried towards the Cloud Plane as quickly as he could physically move.
…..
Half a year later, Ling Xian arrived before a mountain that was tens of thousands of meters tall.
The mountain peak was majestic and like a heavenly sword, it pierced through the sky. No matter how the wind blew or how the rain fell, it remained unmoving.
It was one of the nine Houses, the Wan Jian House.
"I am finally back. I wonder if the entire Wan Jian House still sees me as a traitor?"
Staring at the tall mountain before him, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile that was full of warmth.
