Xia Hou Lin was dead.
His head exploded and he died.
This made everyone gasp. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of fear and respect.
Even though most people didn't know who Xia Hou Gang was, they knew for sure that he was an important figure in the Wan Jian House. Yet Ling Xian had killed this person's nephew right before his eyes. Yet he remained silent.
Didn't this prove that Ling Xian was a powerhouse with an even higher status?
Therefore, everyone naturally looked at him with respect. At the same time, they were also looking at the young girl with envy.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Ling Xian was standing up for the woman. And with such a powerful figure protecting her, she would not be able to do anything. Plus, she was talented and her future was limitless. Why wouldn't everyone be jealous?
As the target of everyone's envy, the young girl was still in a state of shock and her brain was blank.
After all, this series of events was far too shocking. Especially to a 13-year-old girl like her, it was normal for her to be in a state of shock.
"Elder Ling, I am somewhat responsible for what happened today. Do not worry, after I return, I will reflect on my actions. "
Xia Hou Gang's expression was apologetic. Nobody knew if he was being sincere or not. But one thing was for sure, he was being humble.
Therefore, Ling Xian couldn't pursue the matter any further. No matter what, this person was a peak leader. Out of respect for Dao Wu Ji, Ling Xian couldn't pursue Xia Hou Gang's crime.
After all, the person in question was dead. There was no point in pursuing the matter.
Therefore, Ling Xian brandished his hand with a smile, "Peak Leader Xia Hou has sacrificed his own family. That is enough. This incident ends here."
"Thank you, Elder Ling, for your generosity." Xia Hou Gang sighed in relief. He was really afraid that Ling Xian wouldn't forgive him and would kill him here.
Though in terms of status, he was higher than the Core Elders. Plus, in name, Ling Xian had nothing to do with the Wan Jian House.
In reality, however, Ling Xian represented the Wan Jian House's 3,000 years of glory and his status was higher than the peak leader. After that attack just now, he had realized that if he fought against the young man before him, he wouldn't even last one move.
This caused him to be astounded, and he also sighed emotionally.
"You are being too polite." Ling Xian grinned. He knew that Xia Hou Gang was thanking him for not pursuing the matter.
"Oh right, Grand Master still doesn't know about Elder Ling's return, right? I'll send him a message." Xia Hougang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly sent a message to Dao Wu Ji.
Ling Xian did not stop him. He very much wanted to see Dao Wu Ji.
Ever since he found out about the Wan Jian House, the leader of the House has treated him well. Back then, they were even willing to bet their lives against the three King Clans for him.
They were treating him extremely well. This was why he was thinking about the Wan Jian House.
About a moment later, eleven streaks of light flew over from afar at high speed. The leader's clothes were white like snow, and he had an imposing appearance. He was truly like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world, transcending above all living beings.
It was Dao Wu Ji.
Behind him were the eleven peak leaders.
What could they do? Ling Xian's return was a big event. Naturally, the Supreme Headmaster and the 11 peak leaders would come together.
"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't die!"
Dao Wu Ji laughed out loud and dashed before Ling Xian. His eyes were full of joy.
The 11 peak leaders behind him were the same. They all had happy smiles on their faces.
To them, as long as Ling Xian doesn't die halfway, he will for sure become a powerhouse and continue the Wan Jian House's 3,000 years of glory.
Therefore, seeing that he was reborn and returned safely, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"The traitor of the House greets the Supreme Headmaster and the 11 peak leaders." Ling Xian smiled warmly and paid his respect.
At this, other than Dao Wu Ji and the Slay Sword Peak leader, the other peak leaders quickly returned the greeting.
At this, everyone was even more shocked.
Especially the two black-robed disciples, they only felt a buzzing sound in their heads, and then their minds went blank.
Only two words kept flashing through their minds.
Ling Xian!
Everyone in Yunzhou was familiar with this glorious name. Especially in the Wan Jian House, his name was like thunder that pierced everyone's ears.
Therefore, why wouldn't the two of them be stunned? After they recollected themselves, they felt extremely lucky that they didn't insult Ling Xian on Xia Hou Lin's behalf.
"Traitor of the House? In the entire Wan Jian House, who dares to call you a traitor? "Dao Wu Ji flapped around his sleeve, his handsome face full of joy.
"So, the Wan Jian House is willing to accept me?" Ling Xian grinned, his heart was full of warmth.
"Haha, what do you think?"
Dao Wu Ji laughed and shifted his gaze to the 11 peak leaders behind him, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, the peak leaders all nodded with a smile. Their meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"Alright, then from now on, I am still a pupil of the Wan Jian House." Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips as warmth flowed through his heart.
"You are wrong. You are the Core Elder of the Wan Jian House."
Dao Wu Ji looked at Ling Xian with a smile and then at the girl who was still in a daze, "You have done well as an Elder. The moment you returned, you gave the Wan Jian House a great gift."
"It was just a coincidence." Ling Xian grinned, knowing that Xia Hou Gang had told Dao Wu Ji everything.
"Whether it was a coincidence or not, you have saved a Heaven's Favorite for the Wan Jian House." Dao Wu Ji grinned and glared at Xia Hou Gang, "Go back and think about your mistakes. Reflect on yourself."
"Yes, Supreme Headmaster."
Xia Hou Gang sighed in relief, knowing that he did the right thing by telling Dao Wu Ji everything. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as going into seclusion to reflect on his mistakes.
"Let's go, Ling Xian. Let's go back to the main peak and catch up." Dao Wu Ji faintly grinned and gestured for Ling Xian to follow.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. We really should catch up." Ling Xian nodded with a smile and followed behind Dao Wu Ji towards the main peak.
Only the 12 peak leaders, the girl, and a group of random people were left.
Then, the 12 peak leaders' gazes turned heated as they stared at the girl who had a blank expression on her face. It was as if they were looking at a rare treasure.
The Eyes of the Falling Stars!
It was the ninth ranked Inner Eyes, the Inner Eyes that could cause stars to fall. To be able to awaken such an Inner Eyes, one must be extremely talented!
Therefore, why wouldn't everyone's heart waver?
Sensing everyone's heated gazes, the girl recollected herself. The first thing she did was to search for Ling Xian's silhouette.
But Ling Xian had left, how could she find him?
"He … left already?"
The girl's eyes flashed with disappointment. Then, she saw more than 10 extraordinary looking people walking towards her. She couldn't help but jump back a few steps.
"Young lady, there is no need to be afraid. I am the peak leaders of the Wan Jian House. We will not hurt you." The Seek Sword Peak leader chuckled. His demeanor was elegant and his expression was pleasant.
"You … you are the peak leaders of the Wan Jian House?"
The girl was a little stunned. Even though she was an ordinary person, she knew how powerful the peak leaders of the Wan Jian House were. To her, they were important figures that she could never hope to reach in her lifetime!
Yet at this moment, these people were treating her so nicely. Naturally, she was a little dumbfounded.
