The Sun hung high in the sky, spreading down endless amount of light onto the battle ground .
The completion leveled cultivators were bitterly looking up to the God-like figure with respect in their eyes .
Then, these people sighed and began to walk towards the exit of the Princess' palace .
It was obvious . They had no more face to stay here and they had realized that killing Ling Xian was a joke .
This had already been proven . There was no more need for those of the intermediate stage to step onto the battle ring because they were no opponents of Ling Xian's . As for the advanced stage – four of them had been knocked out . What difference would it make if the remaining few stepped up?
Those four were all famous within their generations yet they were so easily defeated by Ling Xian . Those who remained didn't think they were any stronger .
Thus, everyone began to sigh and consecutively left .
When they came, they came with vigor and believed that they could kill Ling Xian with a slap of their fists . When they left, they were all crushed and their steps were heavy . The way they looked was extremely tiresome .
One has to admit that this was a comical turn of events .
"Phew, finally, this battle is done . "
After watching these people leave, Ling Xian breathed out a murky breath and he relaxed . Though it appeared that he won this battle easily, reality was that he was really forcing it .
Now that everyone had left, he could finally breathe .
Just then, a shiny blade glided across the sky with the intention to take his life!
This sudden attack stunned the Seventh Princess . She couldn't' believe that after the war ended, someone would in hiding to assassinate Ling Xian .
Without a doubt, this was a life changing sword, and a fatal one!
To attack Ling Xian after he was exhausted from battles and to attack him when he was utterly defenseless was something not everyone can escape .
Whooosh!
The sword had enough energy to shred the sky in pieces!
It was as if at this moment, the sword was the only object between Heaven and Earth . And that its sole purpose was to end Ling Xian's life!
"Not good!"
Noticing the killer's intent from the blade, Ling Xian's expression changed . All the hair on his body stood up and he felt like he was already half dead .
If this was any ordinary cultivator, against a sudden attack right after a battle, they would have no ability to defend . However, Ling Xian was not an ordinary cultivator .
As this sword inched closer, a part of his body began to exude extremely powerful light that crushed the sword!
Then, he immediately spun around and lunged at the shadow in black behind him .
"Hmmph, die!"
Seeing that Ling Xian was rushing over, the man in black raised his right arm and swung another sword!
However, this time, Ling Xian was prepared . He was not about to be taken advantage again . His eyes shone and two lights shot out of them and broke the sword . Then, he punched the man away .
Retch!
After puking out blood, the man's expression changed . Knowing that he did not have enough power to be Ling Xian's opponent, he turned around to get away .
"You want to leave? Not a chance!"
Yelling, Ling Xian sped up and blocked him . He punched him onto the ground, then, he stomped his foot onto the man's chest .
"Tell me, who sent you?"
"Eh…" the man in black puked out more blood, "Stop dreaming . You will not get any information from my lips . "
Then, he manipulated his own Qi and handicapped himself and died .
Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned, "This man's first attack was a fatal one . And he was hiding in the dark to assassinate me . After his failure, he killed himself . It seemed like he himself was not the challenger . He was the killer someone sent . "
"Good analysis . "
The Seventh Princess marched over and muttered in a quiet voice, "It's an assassin trained by the Third Prince . "
"How do you know?"
Ling Xian frowned . Even though he figured it was Third Prince's man, he didn't have proof and didn't want to make any irrational conclusion .
After all, everyone in the Zhou Dynasty wanted to kill him . Though the Emperor gave his orders, someone's bound to break it .
"Everyone who works for the Third Prince has one thing in common . On their left chest, the character "three" is tattoed . " The Seventh Princess whispered and tore apart the man's robe . Instantly, a bloody red "three" showed up .
Seeing this, Ling Xian's expression darkened and anger boiled in his chest .
"It seems like my brother's hatred towards me is as deep as the ocean . " The Seventh Princess' lips curled and chuckled at this .
"Good, very good . He is forcing me to go kill him . " Ling Xian's eyes flashed with coldness . He was extremely pissed off .
"He probably didn't expect you to be so powerful even after being exhausted by the battles . "
The Seventh Princess' eyes shone and she exclaimed, "I thought with your current state, there was no way you would be able to dodge that attack . Yet you claimed victory under that circumstance . I am impressed . "
"You are flattering me . It is all because of the Zither of the Crouching Dragon . Without it, even if I won, I wouldn't have done it easily and I wouldn't have had the energy to dodge that attack . "
Ling Xian's expression was cold as he manipulated his Golden Dan and attempted to heal the wounds caused by the Song of the Crouching Dragon .
"What's the difference?" The Seventh Princess smiled brightly, "The Zither is a tool you use . You cannot identify yourself separately from it . It's better to admit that you are strong . "
"That is true . "
Ling Xian nodded and suppressed the anger he felt, "If I'm not wrong, this is just the beginning . After all, the Emperor is going to reward whoever kills me . I bet many powerhouses will be after me now . Therefore, I have decided to leave your place for now . "
"You are right . The Zhou Dynasty is very capable and does not lack completion leveled cultivators who peaked . With your current abilities, you will have difficulties fighting against them . "
The Seventh Princess nodded softly and frowned, "But, what about our agreement?"
"After 10 days, I will go find the Third Prince and end what we started . "
Killer's intent flashed across Ling Xian's eyes . After what happened, he finally realized that even if he doesn't find the Third Prince, he will come find him .
Thus, he decided to make his move after 10 days and end this seven year-long hatred .
"As long as I have your words, I won't worry . " The Seventh Princess smiled brightly . She felt Ling Xian's anger and was now certain that he will go kill the Third Prince .
The next second however, her face turned a little surprised .
"Then please first give me the Wood of the Warming Soul . As soon I kill him, I will escape the Zhou Dynasty . " Ling Xian's lips curled up as he stared at the Seventh Princess . His terrifying Qi was ready to slaughter .
Seeing this, the Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow and her face turned cold .
