Chapter 696: Fury

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.

The guards of the city were on watch. Every single guard was doing their job meticulously and did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

However to Ling Xian, these guards were paper tigers. They were decorations and utterly useless. When he arrived at the mayor’s palace, he didn’t even catch anyone’s attention.

Because the message Chu Zhong Tian passed down expressed much urgency, he used the Winged Blitz the whole trip there. He arrived within short three days.

When he felt the atmosphere of this place, Ling Xian began to frown.

“What a depressing atmosphere. What serious expressions. It looks like we are really in trouble.”

Ling Xian softly sighed and glanced around the entire palace using his Qi. After some time, he finally pinpointed Chu Zhong Tian’s spiritual energy. Then, in a flash, he appeared outside his room.

“Zhu Zhong Tian’s Qi looks weak. It looks like he had fought the enemies already.”

Sensing the weak Qi, Ling Xian’s frown deepened. After he pushed the door to enter, his expression darkened.

Because there were two people in the room right now. One was wearing a white shirt and holding a fan. It was Huang Er.

The other one was Chu Zhong Tian.

Currently, he was lying in bed. His face was pale and his breathing was slow and faint. It was as if he could pass away any minute now.

After sensing someone had entered, Huang Er immediately raged and scolded, “Didn’t I order that without my permission, nobody can enter? Are you tired of li-”

He couldn’t finish his sentence. Because he saw the face of the person who just entered.

Just as handsome, just as commanding, this respectable figure’s appearance stifled him.

Then, he lowered his head. With huge strides, he hurried his way to Ling Xian and said in a rush, “Master, I… let me explain.”

“I thought it was some lower servant who couldn’t under instructions. I didn’t know it would be you.”

Huang Er was close to crying. He was terrified that Ling Xian would be furious at what he did and kill him.

“I understand. There’s no need to explain.”

Ling Xian brandished his hand. It was a misunderstanding. With his big heart, he wouldn’t care. Plus, the situation right now didn’t allow him to care.

Seeing that he didn’t mind it, Huang Er silently praised Ling Xian. A friendly smile reappeared on Huang Er’s face.

“Thank God, thank heavens, you have finally returned. Our crisis will be resolved now.”

Huang Er was ecstatic as if all his sorrows were being swept away.

What could he do? Whether it was Ling Xian’s first arrival that chased away a group of heroes, or when he took down the three original controlling forces, all of Ling Xian’s history left strong impressions in Huang Er’s heart.

One could say that to him, Ling Xian was undefeated. With him there, even if the sky falls, there would be nothing to worry about!

This was why the moment he appeared, Huang Er immediately revealed an expression of excitement. His body was even shaking!

Chu Zhong Tian had the same reaction.

His pale face was full of exhilaration. He struggled to get off the bed to bow to Ling Xian. However, his injuries were far too grave. The moment he applied strength, he began to puke blood.

Redness splattered everywhere like splashed wine. It represented his dangerous state and Ling Xian’s anger.

He walked over to the bed and pushed Chu Zhong Tian down to a lying position. He said, “Look at the state you are in, stop trying to be polite.”

“Aye, I am useless. Not only did I get beat up to such a state, I cannot even show my respect to you.” Chu Zhong Tian bitterly smiled. His entire being had weakened.

“What are you saying? I do not blame you.” Ling Xian’s expression was cold. His entire body was emitting frigidness.

This was all because he had scoped out Chu Zhong Tian’s injuries with his Qi. He saw that not only did Chu Zhong Tian’s organs become extremely damaged, most of his bones were broken as well.

Injuries of this caliber were extremely serious. If it weren’t for his fundamentally strong capabilities, he wouldn’t be hanging on.

Therefore, Ling Xian was furious. Utterly furious.

Though he wasn’t sure what happened, the invaders had wounded his people and tried to steal his land. They were trying to take advantage!

Therefore, how could he not be enraged? Anyone who is provoked for no reason would be furiosu!

Sensing his cold demeanor, Chu Zhong Tian felt warm and somewhat worried.

After a few rebuttals with the completion powerhouses, he understood how powerful those people were. Naturally, he worried for Ling Xian.

“Good, very good. You dare to bully me. You are tired of living!”

Ling Xian was boiling in anger and his entire body was ready to explode. However, he understood that the most important matter on hand right now was to calm down Chu Zhong Tian.

Therefore, he suppressed his anger and said, “Zhong Tian, let me heal you first.”

Then, 20 spiritual medicines appeared. Then, the Flame of Purity began to burn on top of his palm.

Brewing using his palm!

At this critical moment, he didn’t want to use a cauldron to brew. Therefore, he used the Godly Fire to package around the spiritual medicines and started to make his own Dan.

The Godly Fire was flaring up as an aromatic smell filled the room. Within moments, the ingredients all burned to dust.

Because Chu Zhong Tian was in critical condition and could pass away at any moment, Ling Xian used everything he learned – displaying all sorts of tricks to speed up the making of the Dan and heighten the quality.

Therefore, the time of brewing this Dan shortened drastically. After around 30 minutes, a Dan of the ninth rank appeared in his hand.

This scene stunned the two of them!

To the other two, Ling Xian was merely a capable Heaven’s Favorite. They didn’t know he had this trick up his sleeve.

Though they never knew much about alchemy, they at least knew about brewing using one’s palm. Therefore, to have just saw Ling Xian brew a Dan in such a manner stunned them.

“Swallow the Dan quickly. Use your Qi to dissolve it.”

Ling Xian flicked and shoved the medicinal Dan into Chu Zhong Tian’s mouth. Then, he thought about it, “Wait, you are still too weak. Let me dissolve it for you.”

Then, he focused and pressed his index finger between Chu Zhong Tian’s brows.

Immediately, a borrowed amount of Qi entered Chu Zhong Tian’s body and immediately dissolved the Dan and repaired his dying body.

The two of them fell into shock again at the miraculous effects of this Dan.

Originally, Chu Zhong Tian was extremely wounded and was near death. Yet now, his injuries were healing at a speed fast enough to be observed by the naked eye. How powerful did the Dan have to be to do this?

Huang Er was shocked. He watched as color returned to Chu Zhong Tian’s cheeks and then peeked at Ling Xian with disbelief on his face.

Chu Zhong Tian too, was astounded to the extreme.

The moment the Dan dissolved in his body, he clearly felt the effects of the medicine nourish his organs and meridians. Under such nourishment, all his pain disappeared at once. His external wounds were also recovering.

He knew just how wounded he was and now that his external injuries were healing, why wouldn’t he feel shocked?

Ling Xian wasn’t surprised at this though.

A medicinal Dan that he used his everything to brew… if it didn’t have this effect, then he would be shocked.

“This Dan is far too powerful. It has such miraculous effects.”

Chu Zhong Tian’s face was full of disbelief. Within minutes, his injuries were already healed. Redness returned to his cheeks and his breathing settled down. He had escape from the verge of death.

Though it will take much rest and time to completely heal, his life was saved.

“Take the time to rest now. Leave the rest to me.”

Ling Xian smiled. His strong force of confidence soothed Huang Er and Chu Zhong Tian. They felt that with Ling Xian’s protection, even if the sky crumbled, they would remain safe.

“Okay, now talk to me. What happened?”

No longer smiling, Ling Xian’s expression turned cold and the anger in his heart boiled again.

After listening to Huang Er explain the whole situation, he became furious to the extreme!

The root of this problem lies in the secret of the City of Sin.

Around 10 days ago, a middle aged man arrived to the City of Sin. The origin of this man was mysterious. He came to the city to investigate its secrets. Then, he used his strange techniques to try and find out what the secrets were.

Of course Chu Zhong Tian could not let that happen. He sent people to chase this man away.

Then five completion leveled cultivators arrived and severely hurt Chu Zhong Tian. If he didn’t activate the array immediately, blood would’ve been drawn.

The City of Sin would’ve fallen in those people’s hands as well.

“Good, very good. They are sure tired of living.” Ling Xian’s expression remained cloudy as his anger boiled.

They came here without reasons, hurt his people and tried to take over his land. Why wouldn’t he be enraged.

He could not bear anyone to humiliate him in this manner!

“Are you trying to hurt my people or are you treating me like a soft persimmon? You dare to try and steal my land. You sure are seeking death.” Anger continued to boil inside Ling Xian’s chest.

“Those bastards are shameless!”

Huang Er and Chu Zhong Tian were also enraged and wanted to slice them into pieces.

“Don’t worry. I will avenge us.” Coldness rolled around Ling Xian’s eyes. His words turned icy as well.

Just as he felt his anger taking over, a young man wearing a guard’s uniform ran inside and screamed, “Oh no, oh no! Something bad has happened!”

“Why are you so flustered! Calm down now!” Huang Er stared at him.

“Yes, yes.”

The young guard nodded and exhaled deeply, “Advisor, the people who hurt our mayor returned!”

“What?”

Hearing this, Huang Er lost his composure and couldn’t help but feel fearful. However, thinking about the terror that belonged to the man beside him, he regained confidence again.

When Ling Xian heard this, he was enraged.

“They dare to come up to us? They sure are trying to provoke me.” Ling Xian sneered and leaped forward.

“Master, where are you going?” Huang Er asked subconsciously

“Where am I going?”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He then spoke a statement that was so full of killer’s intent, the blood of everyone in the room began to boil.

“I am going to kill someone.”
