Inside the dark cave, Elder Meng was shaking all over and his face was full of fear. Especially after seeing Ling Xian’s dark expression, the quivering of his body intensified.
He didn’t dare to imagine what the consequences were for pissing off a powerhouse who had stolen from the Shang Qing Sect.
He would probably die today. He would definitely die today.
Elder Meng’s face was full of fear and his entire body was quivering as if he had fallen into an ice cold hell.
The two younger men reacted the same way as horror washed over them. Just as they began to think of all the different possible outcomes, Ling Xian suddenly spoke.
Everything you have said… is true?
Hearing this, Elder Meng nodded hastily,
They are all true and accurate. I think the entire Yuezhou knows about what happened.
It looks like I am in the middle of a real giant crisis.
Ling Xian mumbled. He knew very well that if all the forces in Yuezhou were after him, then his situation would not be optimal.
To say it bluntly, he was in a hopeless situation!
No matter how powerful he was, there was no way he could fight against an entire continent by himself.
Therefore, Ling Xian’s heart dropped into an abyss and his gaze turned dark. But just how steady was his mentality? Though he was in a hopeless situation, he would not let himself drift into an idle state.
Plus, it wasn’t for certain yet that he would have no way out.
But just who spread this message?
Ling Xian frowned deeply. He could eliminate the upper management of the Shang Qing Sect out because they were not dumb and there was no way they would tell the entire Yuezhou about what happened.
But other than Ji Qian Bai and them, there were no other people who knew about this. Therefore, he was very confused and after much thinking, he decided on one person.
Yu Wu Xiu.
That woman was Shang Qing Sect’s saint and she was highly respected. She had the right to know what happened and with her current capabilities, there was no way she could acquire the Soaring Key. But most importantly, she wanted him dead very much.
This is why Ling Xian suspected her.
Yu Wu Xiu… the likelihood of it being her is very high.
Ling Xian’s eyes squinted and he shook himself as he spoke,
It is meaningless for me to chase after who started this. What I need to think about now is how I can get myself out of this.
Then, he no longer cared about the three people who had looks of horror on their faces as he pondered over how he can get himself out of this.
One has to admit that he has a very strong mentality. If this was anyone else who just heard that they were being pursued by the entire continent, they would be passed out from fear.
But Ling Xian was able to remain calm and think through the situation. His mentality surely was extraordinary.
Even Elder Meng, who was an enemy, couldn’t help but to softly sigh in admiration.
It was easy to say that one should remain unfazed in the face of a crisis, but very few people can actually achieve that. Especially in front of the fact that entire Yuezhou was after you… very few could remain calm.
But Ling Xian had done it. Why wouldn’t everyone be praising him out of respect?
It is difficult to get out of this one because this is basically a dead end for me.
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and thought of all the possible ways he could try to get out of this. But he could only arrive at one conclusion.
He was dead for sure.
There was no way out of this. Ignoring the forces who are hidden and relatively unknown, the prominent forces alone are not people he could handle.
Even if there were 100, or 1000 of him, he wouldn’t be able to handle this. The gap in their capabilities was far too great – basically night and day.
Luckily, the chances of the different forces getting together to kill him was a little slim. Because there was only one Soaring Key, the forces would for sure generate friction amongst themselves.
This will give Ling Xian an opportunity to escape when things get chaotic. It would be his only opportunity.
That would be a lucky turn of event out of all the misfortunes I have experienced. Even then, the chances of me surviving is very small. So small that most people would be hopeless.
Ling Xian softly sighed. He knew how powerful the different forces on Yuezhou were. In the entire nine continents, Yuezhou was only slightly weaker than the legendary strongest continent.
Therefore, when he thinks about how the entire continent is after him, his head began to pound.
Ever since he began cultivation, he has gone against a countless number of powerhouses. But he has always fought a few of them or was just up against one force. This time was very different because he was fighting against an entire continent.
Though the possibility of the different forces forming an alliance was low, it was still an entire continent that was up against him. Even a fifth level cultivator would get a headache.
Oh well, since the situation has turned out this way, there is no way for me to retreat now. Even if I give up the Soaring Key, the Shang Qing Sect will not let me escape.
Ling Xian shook his head and no longer thought about this. He couldn’t think of a good plan anyway so he could only do this one step at a time.
Tell me, how did you find me?
Shifting his gaze towards Elder Meng, Ling Xian’s eyes were sharp like swords, making the man tremble.
The Tai Yue House is one of the 18 Houses and we have two original leveled cultivators. Using The Secret Technique of Time Reversal, we found your path. Then, we sent a few different groups to seek you out. I was lucky and ran into you by chance.
Elder Meng was very chatty since he was extremely scared.
Do you still think it was good luck that brought you here?
Ling Xian provoked.
Elder Meng revealed a crying face. Lucky my @ss! I was unlucky for eight lives!
The two younger men reacted the same way. They were close to crying because they originally thought they were going to be recognized by their leaders by bringing back the Soaring Key. But now they realized their fate.
They weren’t lucky at all. They had sinned and were in the biggest misfortune ever!
At this, Ling Xian lost it and laughed. Quickly though, his smile disappeared and he turned serious.
Since the Tai Yue House could use the Time Reversal Technique to find him, then other forces could do the same. Though the secret techniques required the cultivator to pay 30 years of their lifespan before using it, the whole ordeal with the Soaring Key was serious. It was no surprise that so many original leveled cultivators would be willing.
This place is no longer safe. I need to go now.
Ling Xian mumbled and decided to get out of this place fast.
Hearing this, Elder Meng was startled and quickly said,
Don’t kill me. I promise you that I will not tell anyone what happened here today.
It doesn’t matter if you say it or not. I will not kill you.
Ling Xian smiled. He didn’t want to kill these people – because that would be meaningless.
If he plans on fighting against Yuezhou, then it wasn’t even useful for him to use these people as his pawns. The only people who could change the situation and the power distribution were original leveled powerhouses and fifth leveled cultivators!
He really didn’t give a damn about completion leveled weaklings!
The person he was today could kill even original leveled cultivators. Naturally, he had the right to be arrogant and not think highly of any completion leveled cultivator!
Thank you, thank you for sparing us!
Elder Meng felt very appreciative and almost kneeled down.
F!ck off now.
Ling Xian brandished his hand.
Remember to not let me find you ever again.
Yes, yes.
Elder Meng nodded impatiently. Since the first encounter until now, only 15 minutes had passed, but he felt like he has been here for a century. Even if he got killed, he refused to see Ling Xian again.
The two young men felt the same. To them, Ling Xian was no different from a demon!
Therefore, after getting Ling Xian’s okay, the three of them dashed away like arrows leaving bows. Within seconds, they were gone.
Am I that scary?
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. Very quickly though, his smile was wiped off.
What happened next was something he didn’t need to think about to know. He would be endlessly pursued and he would be bathed in blood from the battles he will soon have!
Therefore, he had to use 120% of his energy to face what was about to come!
Come at me. Let me, Ling Xian, begin a rampage and start bloody battles with all of you!
