On the empty ground, Xuan Yuan Hong's head was separated from his body. His eyes were full of regret and unwillingness.
This silenced the entire place. All gazes were fixated on Ling Xian. There was respect and shock.
For one, they didn't think that after Xuan Yuan Hong displayed his forbidden technique, he would be so easily killed by Ling Xian. For two, they didn't think he would be so decisive and kill him just like that.
Remember that Xuan Yuan Hong was the strongest descendant of the Xuan Yuan Clan. Though the Xuan Yuan Clan was not as capable as the other Houses, it was still a force that dominated the region. However, Ling Xian didn't seem to care and killed Xuan Yuan Hong. This naturally shocked everyone.
"How dominating. He killed the strongest descendant of the Xuan Yuan Clan just like that. How dominating!"
"He is also powerful. Xuan Yuan Hong is not weak. Though he is not the strongest in the Luo Yang Region, he is not to be underestimated. I cannot believe he was beaten so badly by this person. "
"That's true. I wonder where this person came from. How can he be so powerful?"
"Now I believe it. The rumor about how this person defeated the four princes of the mermaid kind is most likely true."
Everyone chimed in. Their voices were full of shock.
Ling Xian's expression was calm and he ignored them. He stared at the now dead Xuan Yuan Hong and the anger in his heart dissipated.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for getting your revenge."
Gao Xin walked up and greeted him politely. It was as if she didn't know Ling Xian.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for speaking up for me."
Ling Xian shook his head and smiled. Like Gao Xin, he paid his respect and pretended he didn't know her.
The members of the Hidden Pavilion cannot be exposed. Not even Xiang Jiu Chen had the right to know. Therefore, he acted like he was meeting Gao Xin for the first time in order to prevent others from finding out who she really was.
"You are being too polite. It is fate that brought us together. Why don't we have a drink over there?" Gao Xin smiled evilly.
"Sure."
Ling Xian nodded with a smile and glided up the Tower of the Picking Stars. He landed on the highest level.
The place was spacious, but there were only three tables with people sitting on them. Every single one of them had a reserved demeanor and were as steady as a mountain.
Seeing that Ling Xian had arrived at this level, everyone frowned and nodded at him in greeting. Obviously, these people acknowledged that he had the qualifications to sit on this floor.
At this, Ling Xian nodded with a smile. After that, he found a seat near the window and poured himself and Gao Xin a glass of wine.
"Fellow Daoist, you're personally pouring wine for me.
Gao Xin's expression changed slightly. The Hidden Pavilion's hierarchy was extremely strict. Even though pouring wine was a small matter, only ordinary members could pour wine for the Pavilion Master. Therefore, he was a little moved.
If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders here, he would've stopped Ling Xian already.
"Don't worry about it. This glass of wine is my way of thanking you." Ling Xian waved his hand with a smile. He wasn't too familiar with the rules of the Hidden Pavilion. Even if he did, he would've ignored them.
Hearing this, Gao Xin's heart warmed. The way she looked at Ling Xian softened, "You sure are special."
"I'm just following my heart. Why should I care about those meaningless rules?"
Ling Xian sipped on the wine and complimented, "This wine is not bad. Drink it."
Hearing this, Gao Xin drained the wine in his cup. The way he looked at Ling Xian increased in recognition.
Even though pouring wine was a small matter, to be in the Hidden Pavilion, especially to the Pavilion Master, was enough to move his heart.
Therefore, at this moment, he suddenly felt like having a Pavilion Master like Ling Xian was a fortunate thing.
"Right, the Xuan Yuan Clan is closer to here. We can get there in half a day. Aren't you going to leave?" Gao Xin suddenly remembered something and his expression changed.
"Why would I leave?"
Ling Xian grinned, "Instead of retreating, there will be endless trouble. Why don't we finish this in one go and avoid future troubles."
"But your capabilities …" Gao Xin frowned and didn't continue.
But Ling Xian could guess what he was going to say next. He was talking about how he was too weak to fight against the Xuan Yuan Clan.
That was the truth. Right now, he was no opponent of the Xuan Yuan Clan. However, he came prepared.
Therefore, Ling Xian grinned, "It's okay. The Xuan Yuan Clan cannot hurt me. After all, I am a member of the Pavilion of Three Lives."
Hearing this, Gao Xin understood and didn't speak anymore. Instead, he looked like he was watching a good show.
Then, the two of them continued to drink and chat. They only talked about romance and didn't talk about danger.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
After an hour, Ling Xian and Gao Xin were still chatting. After two hours, the two of them were still chatting. After six hours, they were still chatting.
This surprised all the geniuses of the Zhai Xing Lou.
Originally, they thought Ling Xian and Gao Xin would chat for a bit and then leave. After all, though his battling abilities were unparalleled, his cultivation level was only in the intermediate stage of the Dao Choosing Stage.
Even in the Luo Yang Region, he was considered a powerhouse. But compared to the Xuan Yuan Clan, he was nothing. Therefore, everyone thought he would leave the Zhai Xing Lou and hide.
But after six hours, Ling Xian didn't move an inch. He continued to chat with Gao Xin and was having a great time.
This surprised everyone. They didn't think he would be so daring. As time went on, everyone was getting more and more shocked.
Because after another two hours, Ling Xian still didn't move. His calm and collected manner made it seem like he didn't think anything of the Xuan Yuan Clan.
"He doesn't think anything of the Xuan Yuan Clan. This person is far too arrogant."
"He didn't leave after killing them. Could it be … he is purposely waiting for the Xuan Yuan Clan?"
"Interesting. Doesn't he know how capable the Xuan Yuan Clan is? With his cultivation level, the Xuan Yuan Clan can easily kill him!"
Everyone chimed in. Other than sarcasm, there was mockery in their voices.
It was obvious that they were all waiting for a good show.
"You heard what they said. Are you really not leaving?" Gao Xin frowned.
"It's okay."
Ling Xian grinned, "I don't want to be harassed by the Xuan Yuan Clan. Let's end it all today."
Hearing this, Gao Xin didn't say anything else. She could only silently pray that the Pavilion of Three Lives would send powerhouses to follow.
"I hope the Xuan Yuan Clan comes. Or else the show will be over." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and his eyes flickered with anticipation.
This made Gao Xin speechless. If this was anyone else, even if they didn't leave, they wouldn't want the Xuan Yuan Clan to come. But Ling Xian was hoping for the Xuan Yuan Clan to come. Gao Xin didn't know what to say.
Luckily, he was the only one who heard this. Or else the crowd would be cursing at him for not knowing how high the sky was.
Just as Ling Xian was calming down, the sky suddenly darkened. Layers of dark clouds appeared and blocked the golden Sun.
Then, a loud roar was heard. Accompanied by a thick murderous intent, it swept across the land.
"Who killed my son? Show yourself! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome man in a golden robe appeared from the clouds. The moment he appeared, he exuded a terrifying amount of Qi. Like a God, he could destroy all nine levels of Heaven and all 10 levels of Hell.
Everyone held their breath and shifted their gazes to the seventh floor of the Tower of the Zhai Xing Lou. The man was calm and collected.
