In midair, Ling Xian uttered out a series of words that were cold and angry.
This silenced the entire place.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared blankly at the arrogant figure, their faces filled with disbelief.
Remember that those seven people were Holy Leaders, the most important figures in the North Nether Territory!
Their might overflowed into the heavens and their authority overshadowed a region. How many people couldn't even complete a sentence in front of them? Yet at this moment, Ling Xian was questioning them and cursing at them. Just how bold was this?
Don't forget, he was merely a cultivator at the peak of the Path Selection Realm. In the entire North Nether Territory, he was considered extraordinary. But in the eyes of the Holy Leaders, he was no different than an ant.
Whether it was capabilities or status, there was a huge gap between them.
Despite this, Ling Xian continued to berate them without fear. This was extremely gutsy!
Therefore, everyone was in awe. Their eyes were filled with schadenfreude, pity, and respect.
No matter what the process was or what the result was, his courage alone was enough to earn everyone's respect!
"You sure are gutsy!"
Luo Yuqing's expression was dark and killer's intent surged, "I asked you for treasures because I thought highly of you. Yet you don't know what's good for you. You deserve to die!"
"That's right."
King Wu crossed his arms and said in a dark tone, "Young man, you are seeking death."
The other Holy Leaders didn't speak, but they all revealed some killer's intent.
As the most important figures in the North Nether Territory, they have always been above others and accepted everyone's respect. When have they ever been questioned like this?
Plus, Ling Xian was no longer questioning them, he was cursing!
Therefore, why wouldn't they be angry? They had forgotten that if they didn't come here to threaten him, Ling Xian wouldn't be cursing at them.
"You think highly of me?"
Ling Xian's expression was cold and there was a ball of anger burning in his chest. They asked for treasures but said they thought highly of him. How dominating was this?
How shameless was this?
Scum like him didn't deserve to be called a Holy Leader. No, he didn't deserve to be called a human!
Therefore, Ling Xian's anger boiled and he said in a cold voice, "A bunch of shameless people think they deserve to be Holy Leaders? That is the biggest joke in the world! "
"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm worthy or not. I'm the Holy Lord today, so I can do whatever the Holy Lord wants!"
Luo Yuqing sneered and said, "This Holy Lord is threatening you and forcing you. What can you do to me?"
"A mere Dao Choosing State ant dares to act so presumptuously before me? Hurry up and hand over the treasure, or else you'll be asking for trouble! "
King Wu snickered as he peered down at Ling Xian, full of arrogance.
"Sacred Lord Luo is right. Asking you to hand over the treasure is a sign of respect for you. Brat, I advise you to recognize your own identity and the rules of this world! "
"Perhaps you might feel that this is unfair, but this is the reality. In front of us, you have no ability to resist!"
"If you hand it over, you can keep your life. If you don't hand it over, you will die."
"You're just an ant. Before us, you don't even have the qualifications to bargain."
All the Saint Sovereigns spoke up one after another. Their tones were very calm, but they spoke of the bloody reality and the cruel rules.
Every sentence that entered Ling Xian's ears made him angrier. In the end, his hair was standing on end.
This was the reality of the rules. Those in power control everything and they can kill and exploit the weak. But he didn't want to compromise!
These Saint Sovereigns were demanding his treasures and were threatening him with violence. How unreasonable was this? How unfair was this?
If this was anyone else, perhaps their bones would soften and they would hand over the treasure with both hands. But for Ling Xian, there were only three words.
Impossible!
"Are you angry? This is the reality. The reality that you cannot resist! "
"Yes, we are bullying you. We are being rude and unreasonable. What can you do about it?"
"Just because of your anger? What a joke. I can crush you with one finger! "
"I will say it one last time. Hand it over. Or else I will make you wish you were dead."
Hearing this, Ling Xian laughed. His laughter was sarcastic and cold.
"You're right. This is the reality, the naked reality!"
"You are all high above and arrogant. You think this is normal. But let me tell you, I will not compromise!"
"Why should I compromise? To live, to endure the humiliation and live? That is what others do. I, Ling Xian, will never do that! "
Ling Xian stood proudly in midair. His handsome face was full of determination.
He understood everything, and he also understood that his decision might cost him his life. But this question concerned his dignity. He was a proud man, why would he compromise?
If that was the case, he would rather die!
This shocked everyone. Although they looked at him with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes, there was even more respect in their eyes.
Not everyone had the courage to face the Saint Sovereigns. Not everyone had the courage to ignore death.
Ling Xian, on the other hand, was unyielding and would rather die than give up his dignity. Why wouldn't they respect him?
"You sure are stubborn."
Luo Yuqing's eyes were full of coldness. The other Saint Sovereigns were the same.
The reason why they haven't made a move yet wasn't because they had good tempers. It was because they wanted to break Ling Xian's pride and force him to hand over the treasures.
That way, they would feel even more accomplished.
But now, it seemed like their hopes were dashed.
Kneel to live, stand to die. Ling Xian very clearly and decisively chose the latter.
This infuriated the Saint Sovereigns and made them lose their last bit of patience.
"If you want to die, then I will grant you your wish."
Luo Yuqing's eyes turned cold. The sky darkened, lightning howled, and thunder danced. It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
King Wu's expression was cold as well. The Nine Daos circled around him. Like a God who had just descended, he looked down on the world.
"Young man, if you hand over Yu Hua Die and the sword, I can guarantee that you will leave safely."
The man in purple suddenly spoke, "Or else, you will wish you were dead."
"Even if I endure the humiliation and hand over the treasures, I will still wish I was dead."
Ling Xian glared at them coldly. He was unyielding and would rather break than bend.
This caused the respect in everyone's eyes to become even more intense. As for the Saint Rulers, their expressions became even more gloomy.
"No need to waste time. Take him down and take the treasures by force!"
Luo Yuqing coldly snickered, "Young man, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Don't blame me on the road to hell."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled, "You are that certain you can kill me?"
"Laughable!"
Luo Yuqing mocked, "I am the Saint Sovereigns and you are an ant. What do you think?"
At that, the other Saint Sovereigns all chuckled.
Everyone here sighed and shook their heads. Their eyes were full of pity.
Saint Sovereigns were the top powerhouses of the North Underworld Region. Ling Xian, on the other hand, was merely a cultivator of the Path Choosing Realm. Though his battling abilities were extraordinary, his realm was still there.
The difference between the two was like the moon and a firefly. They didn't even have the right to be compared.
"In your eyes, I'm indeed an ant. However, behind this ant stands a huge tree."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He glanced around at the Saint Sovereigns and uttered out a statement that stunned them.
"I entered the Forest of Dreams to find the Yu Hua Die on King Luo's order. Whoever wants to steal it, come at me!"
