Chapter 452: At your Front Door
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek
The emperor sent down an order: every completion levelled cultivator in the Zhou Dynasty can challenge Ling Xian and fight him to death .
After this order circulated around, everyone in the dynasty fell into awe . Especially people like the Third Prince, who wanted to kill Ling Xian himself .
Why?
Because this order was advantageous to Ling Xian . First, this meant only those of the completion level got to fight Ling Xian, which indicated to the original levelled cultivators to not step in . Additionally, he used the word "challenge" . This meant they could only openly fight rather than assassinate .
Thus, of course this was advantageous to Ling Xian . After all, with his cultivation level, if he was up against those of the original level, he would be dead .
Thus, everyone in the Zhou Dynasty was confused and wasn't sure why even after Ling Xian killed Deputy Xiao Yao, the emperor would order such an order . But of course, many people remembered the incident with Dao Wu Ji and understood the intention .
After all, he was the leader of one of the nine Houses . Even the emperor had to show respect .
When Ling Xian heard this however, he was shocked at the turn of events . However, since the emperor limited the challengers to be of the completion level, he had hopes of surviving . He simply did not enjoy this situation .
Think about it… how many completion powerhouses lived in the Zhou Dynasty? A few hundred at least!
Ling Xian was fearless against those weaker than the advanced stage of the completion level . But what about those who peaked? No matter how powerful he was, he cannot make the claim that he had the ability to challenge those at the peak!
Thus, the situation was not ideal . Therefore, Ling Xian decided to quickly deal with the Third Prince and acquire the Wood of the Warming Soul . Then, he will immediately leave this dynasty .
As he planned out his journey, he sent Lin Qing Yi on her way . Then, he went into isolation to heal the wounds he sustained when he pursued Ling Tian Xiang .
After three days, his conditions reached its peak and he broke his isolation and began to look for the Third Prince to resolve the hatred accumulated over seven years .
After he walked out of the pond, he ran into the Seventh Princess who was in a hurry .
She had a serious expression on her face . When she saw Ling Xian, she said something that made him frown .
"Ling Xian, it seems like you won't be able to leave . "
"Hmmph?"
Ling Xian frowned, "Why do you say that?"
"Aye, someone let the words out that you are here . Since a few days ago, the challengers have piled up before my door . " The Princess sighed, "Because you were in isolation, I stopped them from intruding . "
"Challengers…"
Ling Xian frowned, unwilling to get meddled with these people, "How about this . I leave immediately . "
Then, a pair of white wings emerged behind him and he flung into the air .
However, as his wings fluttered, the Seventh Princess stopped him, "Ling Xian, if you leave now, I will be in trouble . "
"I…" Ling Xian's expression was a confused one .
"Think about it, everyone knows you are here . You think my father doesn't?" The Princess chuckled nervously, "The reason why he has been forgiving is because one, I am his daughter, and two, someone's supporting you behind your back . "
"If you leave now then what will I do? My father will be enraged . " Pausing, the Seventh Princess continued, "When that happens, horrible things will happen to me . I will be stripped of my princess status and I will be jailed . "
"That means I have to go out and face them . " Ling Xian exhaled deeply . Only two paths presented themselves before him .
One was to escape . This would ensure he lived but the Princess would be brought down . Two was to stay . This meant he had to face countless number of enemies and he may die if he is not careful .
Without a doubt, this was a difficult choice .
"That's right . If you don't want to burden me, then you have to go on . " The Seventh Princess had a serious expression as she stared deadly at Ling Xian . She secretly manipulated her Golden Dan .
She had made up her mind . If he chose to escape, she will stop him .
After all, she had no links with Ling Xian . She simply let him stay because of Lin Qing Yi . She was not going to risk herself for him .
"Alright, then I will accept the battles . "
Against the Seventh Princess' highly expectant expression, Ling Xian's lips curled into a confident smile .
Even though the Seventh Princess let him stay because of Lin Qing Yi, the other half of the reason was because she wanted to kill the Third Prince . No matter what, she didn't report Ling Xian to the emperor . Thus, Ling Xian wasn't about to hurt her .
"No wonder Lin Qing Yi acts like you stole her soul . You are a responsible man . " The Seventh Princess' eyes flashed with strangeness . Her fist loosened and her Dan calmed down .
"No matter what, I cannot cause you trouble . "
Ling Xian sighed and a look of complexity flashed across his eyes, "No matter what, this order of the emperor is already nice of him . If I escape now, then the emperor will not be so kind and will kill me personally . "
