The Sun rose from the East, shedding down golden light.
Outside of the Forest of Dreams, many powerhouses stood proudly. Every single one of them was as deep as the ocean and their demeanor was heavy. Far in the distance, there were seven towering figures standing majestically. They were either immortals descending to the mortal world or emperors descending to the mortal world. All of them had an imposing demeanor and were extraordinarily handsome.
Without an exception, they were all important figures of the Northern Underworld Kingdom. They were all Holy Leaders!
Therefore, Ling Xian's expression turned serious. Sensing the seven people's unpredictable capabilities, he couldn't help but to silently sigh.
Today, he was going to be in trouble.
The Thief of the World bitterly smiled. Though her thieving skills were unparalleled and her ability to hide her breath was unparalleled. But if she wanted to escape under the noses of seven Holy Leaders, it would be a fool's dream.
On top of that, she couldn't abandon the person who saved her life and run away by herself.
Therefore, after a long sigh, the bitterness on her face turned into determination.
Just then, a calm voice came from the cloud. Though it sounded calm, it naturally exuded a sense of arrogance.
"You … are Ling Xian?"
The one who spoke was a man dressed in purple. He sat upright on top of a white cloud and stared down at Ling Xian with his deep eyes, full of dignity and authority.
He had received a message from his House and knew that Ling Xian had the Yu Hua Die. He also knew what Ling Xian looked like.
Therefore, he recognized Ling Xian right away.
"They are going to attack …"
Silently sighing, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "That is me."
"It's good that you admit it."
The man in purple nodded softly, "I have heard of you. You are the Heaven's Favorite who defeated Tang Tian, the Swordsman in Qing Yi, and the Meng brothers."
Hearing this, Ling Xian remained silent and didn't speak.
Knowing of his battle record meant they knew he had the Yu Hua Die. This was not something to be happy about.
"Shut up."
Inside the cloud, a muscular man with a bare upper body spoke coldly. His eagle-like eyes peered down at Ling Xian, "Hand over the Yu Hua Die and your sword."
At those words, Ling Xian frowned.
He knew that these people were here for Yu Hua Die, but he didn't expect that the well-built man would be so direct and use such a commanding tone.
This was a little too overbearing. Therefore, Ling Xian was very unhappy. He said coldly, "I am sorry but I cannot comply."
"Hmm?"
The well-built man raised his eyebrows. Immediately, his killing intent became oppressive, and the surrounding temperature dropped. He glared at Ling Xian, "I will give you one chance. Repeat yourself."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
He knew that this person wanted him to change the way he addressed her or hand over Yu Hua Die and Zi Yao. But how could he be a coward?
At that moment, he calmly opened his mouth and uttered those four words that were filled with determination.
"Forgive me for not being able to comply."
At those words, everyone gasped. The way they looked at Ling Xian was filled with pity and respect.
The half-naked Saint Leader had made it very clear that if Ling Xian changed his mind, then he would have a way out. If he didn't change, only death awaited him.
However, Ling Xian was very direct and had no intention of backing down. This naturally shocked everyone.
After all, this was a threat from a Saint Leader!
Even the Saint Leaders in the cloud were a little surprised. But more than that, they were playful.
They admired those with pride, but they were more than willing to break their pride. Because they would feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"Interesting."
The well-built man's lips curled up. His hawk-like eyes stared straight at Ling Xian, "Young man, I will ask you again. Are you really not going to hand it over?"
Hearing this, before Ling Xian could speak, a middle-aged woman beat him to it.
Her expression was cold as she said softly, "I am here. What gives you the right to threaten me?"
"Luo Yuqing, do you want to fight?" King Wu raised an eyebrow. His vigor filled the air and his anger shot through the sky.
Luo Yuqing ignored him and shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian.
At this, Ling Xian faintly smiled as a greeting.
However, as soon as the Sacred Lord spoke, his smile disappeared.
"Give me Yu Hua Die and the sword and I will guarantee you that you will leave safely," Luo Yuqing said coldly. She was as arrogant as a real phoenix and didn't even think anything of the heavens.
This erased Ling Xian's smile and turned cold.
Originally, when he heard Luo Yuqing yell at King Wu, he thought someone reasonable had finally appeared. But now, it seemed like he was wrong.
This woman was no different than King Wu!
"I don't want to repeat myself. I can only say that my answer to you is the same as King Wu's." Ling Xian's expression was cold.
"How dare you!"
Luo Yuqing raised an eyebrow. She didn't unleash her Qi, but she was pressuring Ling Xian.
However, he was a man of steel. Why would he give up because of her?
"How many years has it been since someone dared to talk to me like this? I advise you to recognize who is standing before you."
Luo Yuqing's phoenix-like eyes were cold and she was as majestic as an emperor. Her words were filled with threat.
Ling Xian wasn't afraid at all.
He leaped into the air and stood next to Luo Yuqing. He stared into her eyes and said, "I know you are a Saint."
Then, he shifted his gaze to the other six Saints, "I also know you are Saints. The reason you are here is for my Yu Hua Die and my Zi Yao Sword."
"But so what? Do you really think you can make me give up because of one sentence? "
Ling Xian stood proudly in midair. Though there was a huge gap between his capabilities and these Holy Leaders', his demeanor surpassed them!
This caused everyone to be shocked once more, and numerous gazes converged onto him with respect.
Remember that these seven people were the top figures of the North Underworld Territory. If this was anyone else, they wouldn't even be able to say a complete sentence.
Yet Ling Xian dared to talk back to them and rejected them. How shocking was this?
No matter what the result was, his unflinching courage alone was not something normal people could compare to!
"Ling Xian, you sure are gutsy!"
Luo Yuqing's expression darkened. Ever since she became a Saint, it's been many years since someone dared to talk to her like this. Naturally, she was furious.
The other Saints reacted the same way. Their eyes were full of coldness.
"You have no right to scold me!"
Ling Xian's expression was cold. He originally thought that there would be some reasonable people among these Saints. Therefore, from the beginning, he chose to be patient and didn't make a move.
But at this moment, he finally recognized these Saints for what they really were.
They were here for one reason and that was to take away Yu Hua Die and Zi Yao. Plus, they were acting like they were above everyone else!
How dominating was this? How shameless was this?
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't want to be patient anymore. Worst comes to worst, he will fight to the death!
"A bunch of sanctimonious, shameless people! As Saints, you have such low morals and forcefully take other people's treasures! "
"You bully the younger generation and force others. What kind of leaders are you? You are a bunch of despicable robbers! "
"How shameless. I feel embarrassed for your ancestors!"
Ling Xian was enraged. Every single sharp statement left his mouth. Every time he spoke, everyone was shocked.
As for the seven Saint Lords, their expressions darkened.
