After leaving Ling Tian Xiang's isolation place, Ling Xian first went to the Lin Clan's Alchemy Workshop to see if Lin Qing Yi was there.
Sadly, even the Lin Clan's Alchemy Workshop had a new owner.
After all, decades had passed. It was reasonable for people to have changed.
Then, Ling Xian headed towards the Zhou Dynasty.
For one, he wanted to see if Lin Qing Yi was with the Seventh Princess. For two, he wanted to resolve the feud he had with the emperor.
Back then, when the three noble kinds attacked him, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty also attacked and tried to kill him. Ling Xian has always remembered this feud.
Therefore, he decided to resolve this feud first before dealing with the three noble kinds.
After traveling for half a month, he finally arrived at the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.
Ling Xian was wearing a white robe and arrived at the Seventh Princess' palace. After waiting in the guest room, he saw the Seventh Princess.
They hadn't seen each other for many years, yet this woman was still so beautiful and moving. Her pair of phoenix-like eyes concealed great dignity, and she constantly gave others an enormous pressure.
To Ling Xian, however, this pressure was nothing. He wasn't even afraid of the emperor, why would he care about a princess?
"I cannot believe that not only could you fight against Yuezhou alone, but you were also able to resurrect."
The Seventh Princess' expression was calm. However, her eyes were hiding a trace of awe.
"Luck."
Ling Xian softly grinned and sat down on the redwood chair, "I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Where is Qing Yi? Where is she?"
"Where?" The Seventh Princess's lips curled up and uttered out a statement that stunned Ling Xian.
"She's dead."
These three short words carried an unimaginable amount of impact.
Immediately, Ling Xian acted as if he was struck by lightning. Not only did his body freeze, but his brain also turned blank.
Dead?
Qing Yi … died?
Ling Xian's face turned white as he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"What did you say? Say it again! "
Looking at the quivering Ling Xian, the Seventh Princess felt bad. But what she said hit him again.
"She's dead. Even if I say it a thousand times or ten thousand times, I cannot change that fact."
"You are lying!"
Ling Xian shouted. His energy rolled out of him, shattering the space and turning the guest room into a pile of debris.
The Seventh Princess was also forced to retreat. Her face turned pale and was filled with shock.
At this moment, she finally understood why she was able to fight against Yuezhou by herself and why she was able to escape unscathed.
Because this surge of energy was even more aggressive than the one she felt from the Zhou Dynasty's emperor!
Shua!
After a piercing noise, Ling Xian tore apart space and instantly appeared before the Seventh Princess. A pair of hands tightly grasped her fragrant shoulders and growled, "You're lying to me, aren't you? Impossible, how could Qingyi die? "
"Wake up, Qingyi, she … she really died."
Enduring the pain from her shoulder, the Seventh Princess revealed a bitter expression, "Nine years after your death, Qing Yi could no longer hold on and passed away."
"This is impossible!"
A loud roar shook the nine heavens and ten earths!
Ling Xian's face was twisted as he stared deadly at the Seventh Princess, hoping to find a trace of lying on her face.
Sadly, he was disappointed.
Though the Seventh Princess looked like she couldn't bear it, she didn't show any signs of lying. This pained him to the core and made him cry!
He didn't want to accept this reality and he didn't dare to accept this reality!
That light blue flowery robe and that alluring smile kept flashing through his mind. Tears rolled down his cheeks mercilessly.
"Impossible, impossible. How could Qingyi die?"
Ling Xian let go of the Seventh Princess' shoulder and stumbled back. He mumbled over and over again, "She won't die", "She can't die".
He remembered back then in the cave, she was wearing green and had a sword across her neck. Her face was full of determination.
That one look made his heart beat faster.
Yet now, the Seventh Princess was saying that the woman who sacrificed herself for him and burned her lifespan has died. How could Ling Xian accept this?
"Aye, why bother?"
Looking at Ling Xian's lifeless eyes as he stumbled back, the Seventh Princess' heart ached and her face was full of pity. But she knew that since she had said it, she had to follow through.
Or else all her efforts would be wasted.
"Qingyi, how … how did she die?"
Ling Xian collapsed onto the ground powerlessly. His face was white and his eyes were lifeless. It was as if he had lost his soul and all that was left was a shell.
"Coincidentally, she acquired an ancient technique that allowed her to burn her lifespan in exchange for temporary power. You should know about this. "
The Seventh Princess let out a long sigh and said, "In order to save you, she sacrificed her beauty and her life. A year ago, her lifespan was up and she couldn't hold on. "
"I know, I know …"
Ling Xian repeated this. Remembering back then, Lin Qingyi smiled and cried as she turned into an old woman, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"A year!"
He screamed and cried, "Just a year. Qingyi, why didn't you wait for me?! Why! "
"This is fate. Nature makes fools of people."
The Seventh Princess sighed a long sigh, "Don't feel sad. If Qing Yi's spirit in Heaven sees you like this, she won't feel good either."
"Hehe, hahaha."
Ling Xian looked like he was crying and not laughing. He was going crazy, "Just a year. I was late by a year!"
"Aye, what is love?"
The Seventh Princess sighed. Seeing that Ling Xian was crying, she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to recover. She couldn't help but to say, "Before Qingyi died, she said she doesn't believe you are dead. She also said that if you come back to life, she hopes you can live on and reach the peak. "
"Live on?"
Ling Xian was startled. His eyes brightened, "Yes, I need to stay strong. I need to live on. I need to live on. I need to live on with Qingyi."
"It's great that you can think that way." The Seventh Princess sighed in relief.
"Qingyi, do not worry. I will not give up."
Ling Xian's gaze was determined. Then, he stood up and said something that moved the Seventh Princess.
"Then, it's time for revenge."
At those words, the Seventh Princess' expression changed drastically. She knew that Ling Xian was going to find her father. She couldn't help but to say, "Ling Xian, for Qingyi's sake, can you spare my father?"
"Spare?"
Ling Xian silenced. He knew that Lin Qingyi and the Seventh Princess were like sisters. The Seventh Princess has helped him before. Therefore, after a moment of silence, he lightly nodded his head.
At this, the Seventh Princess sighed in relief, "Thank you."
"If you want to thank someone, thank Qingyi. I am doing this for her sake." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. Lin Qingyi's death had greatly impacted him. At this moment, there was only one thought in his head.
Release!
How do I release? Of course, I will find my enemies!
"You have helped Qingyi a lot. I will return the favor." Ling Xian spoke softly. He tore open the void and disappeared.
All he left behind was a calm yet dominating statement that echoed around.
"Prepare the imperial robe and crown. Tomorrow, I will let you ascend to the throne."
