"Are you waiting for someone?" Qian 'er asked Han Xue. "Yes." Han Xue nodded and continued to look into the distance.
"Why are you so anxious? Are you waiting for a man?”Qian 'er joked when she saw that Han Xue was distracted.
Han Xue didn't answer and said in surprise,""Did I hit the nail on the head? You're really waiting for a man!”As she spoke, she suddenly laughed again." I didn't know that a cold goddess like you would fall in love with a man. Why didn't you tell me? I must see who he is today."”
"Qian 'er." At this moment, Han Xue turned around and said,"" It's not what you think. He and I are just ordinary friends. I'm just waiting for him here because…"”The woman called Qian 'er interrupted Han Xue and circled around her,""You still say that it's nothing. An explanation is a cover-up. I can smell his scent on you.”
Hearing this, Han Xue recalled the scene of Ling Tian hugging her two days ago and sniffed,""No, I didn't."
"No way, you really…I was just saying.”Qian 'er pointed at Han Xue with her mouth agape.
"Alright! Wretched girl, you tricked me. " I…" Han Xue woke up immediately. It had been two days. How could there be any smell left? "There's really nothing between us. I was just hugged by him for a while. I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to wait for someone!”Suddenly, Han Xue stopped playing with Qian 'er and frowned.
"I hugged her for a while, and it was nothing. Hehe, I must spread this news to the world and let everyone know that the ice goddess has been melted!”Qian 'er continued to joke around, showing no intention of letting Han Xue off.
However, Han Xue didn't take it to heart. She just looked into the distance anxiously and thought," Why isn't he here yet?
Qian 'er frowned and asked Han Xue,""What's wrong? Did something happen?”Hearing this, Han Xue suddenly threw herself onto Qian 'er's shoulder. She sobbed and muttered to herself,""It's all my fault. If I had listened to him, so many people wouldn't have died. If not for me, he wouldn't have stayed. Wu, wu! It's all me."
"Hanxue, Hanxue, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it.”Qian 'er comforted Han Xue as she patted her back.
Hearing this, Han Xue stood up and wiped her tears with her hands. She sobbed and told Qian 'er what had happened.
Qian 'er consoled Han Xue after hearing that,""Alright, Hanxue, since he knew that the demonic beasts were coming, he couldn't have been unprepared. Since he chose to stay, it means that he's confident. You don't have to worry, come back to the palace with me first.”
"B-No, what if he can't find me when he comes? I'll just wait here.”Han Xue shook her head. Qian 'er did not say anything. Instead, she stood beside Han Xue and waited with her.
An hour later, he said," Hanxue, let's go back to the palace. If we wait any longer, we'll have to find a solution. You can draw out his Blossoms in Brocade and I'll ask my men to wait for you. When he comes, I'll inform you immediately."”Seeing that Ling Tian was nowhere to be seen, Qian 'er said to Han Xue.
"This…" Han Xue hesitated. "Let's go, let's go." Seeing this, Qian 'er pulled Han Xue and walked into the city.
On the other side, in the cave Ling Tian was in. Ling Tian was still in the blood cocoon, enduring the inhumane pain. On the other hand, Qing Yi seemed to have undergone some changes and was lying on the ground in a deep sleep. It seemed that he had absorbed too much energy, causing him to start evolving again.
Another five days passed, and the blood cocoon that was wrapped around Ling Tian in the depths of the cave started to turn pale.
"Crack, crack!" At this moment, the blood cocoon suddenly began to break. "Crack!" A pair of hands reached out from the cracks in the blood cocoon and tore it in half. Ling Tian finally came out after lying in the blood cocoon for seven days.
His skin had turned white, and his already long black hair had grown even longer, dragging to the ground. His original height of nearly 1.9 meters had decreased a little, becoming about 1.85 meters. His originally muscular body had also become slender.
After Ling Tian came out, he put on his clothes and looked at the long hair on his back. He then sent out a sword qi to cut it off from his calf.
Looking at his own body, Ling Tian nodded his head in satisfaction. Clenching his right hand, he could feel a powerful force. Hence, he clenched his fist and punched forward.”A loud sound rang out from the cave, followed by a series of tremors. The stone wall in front of Ling Tian had a fist imprint that was one meter in size and three meters in diameter.
"What powerful strength!" Seeing this, Ling Tian let out a sigh. He did not even use any of the qi in his body to throw out a punch. He didn't expect the fist force to cause such great damage to the stone wall through the air.
Looking at his new body, Ling Tian could not help but sigh. As expected, there was no such thing as power without sowing. If one wanted to obtain power, they were destined to pay more than ordinary people.
This time, although Ling Tian had suffered inhuman pain, he had gained a powerful body. Furthermore, the internal injuries that he had sustained from the battle were all gone, and the medicinal effects from the excessive consumption of pills had also fused into his body. His cultivation had reached the peak of the emperor realm. Moreover, he was lucky to have obtained a trace of the green flood dragon's talent, which was strength.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cause such damage with his current body, which was at the Mahayana Stage of the second level of the Golden Bloodline Technique.
The main reason why Ling Tian was able to reach the second stage of the Golden Bloodline Technique was because of his strong physical body. Moreover, the Golden Bloodline Technique was also one of those techniques that became more and more difficult as one progressed. (Note: Each level of the Golden Bloodline Technique is divided into the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Perfection levels.）
When Ling Tian walked to Qing Yi's side and saw that he was still in a deep sleep, he knew that he was still in the middle of his evolution. Thus, he kept him into the Demonic Insect Ring. However, Qing Yi was still in his original form, so it would be a little crowded to enter the Demonic Insect Ring.
"Looks like I'll have to study the refinement of Space Rings more. If I have the chance, I'll exchange this Demonic Insect Ring.”Ling Tian muttered to himself as he looked at the Demonic Insect Ring. As he said that, he looked at the skeleton of the Green Flood Dragon and kept it away in the spirit of not wasting it. Then he remembered his promise with Han Xue and said to himself,""I wonder if Hanxue is still in Andu?”As he spoke, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards Andu.
Two days later, Ling Tian finally arrived at the outskirts of An Capital. Looking at the city walls that stretched for hundreds of miles and were nearly a thousand feet tall, Ling Tian was extremely shocked. It would be extremely difficult to find such a city in the Nanhua Region.
Walking to the foot of the city walls, Ling Tian realized that there were many people entering and exiting the city gates, and they were all cultivators. Even the guards at the city gate had the strength of a division.
After entering the city, Ling Tian realized that the entire city was filled with cultivators. Moreover, the entire city was like Nanhua City, which had a huge spirit vein. As soon as they entered the city, the concentration of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was comparable to a Level 1 spirit vein. (In the future, the spiritual veins will be directly called level 1 to level 16.）
Moreover, the deeper they went, the denser the spiritual energy became. No wonder it cost a spirit stone to enter the city. Along the way, Ling Tian looked around, entering every large shop and buying many spiritual herbs and spiritual ores. However, he never bought too many in the same shop.
Suddenly, Ling Tian walked towards a remote corner and disappeared. At this moment, a figure sneakily followed them in.
"Eh? Where is he?" The figure suddenly stopped because he had already walked to the end of the street and realized that Ling Tian had disappeared. At this moment, he felt a pain in his back and fell to the ground."Tell me, who sent you? You've been following me since I entered this city. What do you want?”At this moment, Ling Tian was standing behind him as he shouted at him.
"It was my master who asked me to follow you. She wanted to see you. There were originally two of us, but one of us has already gone to inform her.”The person on the ground stood up with sweat all over his forehead.
"Your master? Those shops? No, you followed me before I even entered those shops. Tell me, who is your master?" Ling Tian frowned as he spoke to the person in front of him. "I'm the royal family's Shadow Guard, and my master is the current Seventh Princess.”Hearing this, the person in front of Ling Tian held onto the wall with one hand and stroked his back with the other.
"Royal family, Seventh Princess. If it's the Li Tang royal family, then your princess must have the surname Li.”Ling Tian asked.
"Yes, my princess's name is Qian 'er. Her name is Li Qian' er.”The Shadow Guard nodded. "I don't know your princess. You must be mistaken.”Hearing this, Ling Tian thought for a while before frowning. He indeed did not know anyone called Li Qian 'er.
"How could that be? We Shadow Guards have the ability to recognize people. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself. This is your portrait.”As he spoke, the Shadow Protector took out a scroll of paper and passed it to Ling Tian.
"This, this is indeed me." Ling Tian opened the scroll and looked at it in surprise.
"Right, when did you get this painting and start looking for me?”Ling Tian suddenly thought of something and asked the Shadow Protector.
"Seven days ago." the Shadow Guard replied. "Seven days ago. That's right. I know who's looking for me.”Ling Tian nodded his head.
"Then please come with me. I'll bring you to the inner city's relay station and wait for my princess to visit.”Seeing this, the Shadow Protector cupped his hands towards Ling Tian.
"Alright, lead the way." Ling Tian nodded. Hearing this, the Shadow Guard led the way while Ling Tian followed behind. They arrived at the inner city without any delay.
The city walls of the inner city were twice as tall as the outer city, the guards guarding the gate had also been changed to Zong level, and the entrance fee was ten times that of the outer city.
However, because of the Shadow Guard, Ling Tian did not hand over the city decree. When Ling Tian entered the inner city, he realized that be it the streets or the shops, the inner city was much more prosperous than the outer city. Furthermore, the spiritual energy in the air had reached the second rank. When he arrived at the relay station, Ling Tian realized that there was already someone waiting for him. It was Han Xue. The moment Han Xue saw Ling Tian, she immediately threw herself into his embrace and started crying.
"Hanxue, I didn't expect you to forget your sisters as soon as you got a man!”At this moment, another woman walked out of the relay station. It was Li Qian 'er, and she was looking at Han Xue with a joking expression.
"Ah!" Only then did Han Xue realize that something was amiss and she cried out before leaving Ling Tian's embrace with a red face. Ling Tian ignored Han Xue and asked Qian 'er,""You are Li Qian 'er, the Seventh Princess?”Qian 'er sized Ling Tian up before saying,""I am, but you are Ling Tian? He was quite good-looking, but why was he only at the peak of the emperor level? He was far from what Han Xue had described.”
Hearing this, Ling Tian frowned but did not say anything, nor did he have any intention of explaining. He looked at Han Xue and said,""Alright, stop crying. I'm fine at all. I was just delayed by something, so I came so late.”Hearing this, Han Xue looked at Ling Tian in disbelief,""You!" Suddenly, Han Xue looked at Ling Tian speechlessly. Ling Tian had changed too much. Other than his face, which was almost the same as before, but a little more determined, everything else had changed too much.
"What's wrong? I can't recognize him. It can't be that bad, right? In the end, I was delayed because of this. I'm really sorry.”Ling Tian looked at Han Xue and smiled.
"Are you really Ling Tian? But you've changed too much. It's as if you've changed into a different person.”Han Xue asked in surprise.
"I heard that women are the most accurate at judging people, especially their sweetheart. Hanxue, you just threw yourself into his arms.”Qian 'er teased Han Xue.
"No, I, I was just too excited just now.”Han Xue said embarrassedly.
At this moment, Ling Tian looked out of the window and asked,"When are we going back?".”"What are you busy with? I've already told my master about the good news. She's already gone to investigate. The auction in Andu is about to start, so let's just play here for a few days and wait for my master to come back.”Han Xue said.
"Alright, do as you wish." Ling Tian frowned. "Oh right, I haven't introduced you to me. This is Qian 'er, my good sister. She's also a disciple of the Northern Wind Sect.”Han Xue pointed at Li Qian 'er and introduced her to Ling Tian.
"Personal disciple?" Hearing this, Ling Tian smiled and said,""Early stage of the Supreme realm, weak aura, good talent, but not hard work in cultivation. His cultivation is all based on pills, and in fact, he's not even comparable to some Emperor realm.”
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Li Qian 'er pointed at Ling Tian and shouted. "What's wrong? Am I wrong?" Ling Tian looked at Li Qian 'er and smiled.
"You!" Li Qian 'er opened her mouth but did not say anything. Instead, she threw a punch at Ling Tian. Seeing this, Ling Tian's left hand shot out a sword qi, piercing through Li Qian 'er's fist and pressing against her neck.
At this moment, the first bodyguard who had been standing by Li Qian 'er's side silently charged towards Ling Tian. Ling Tian then circulated his Dou Qi and sent the late stage Zun realm guard flying with a single punch.
