Chapter 451: An Agreement

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

Deep within a pond and inside a dark palace.

Luo Xin Jie, acting like a corpse, had been standing behind Ling Xian silently since they entered the area and did not speak a single word.

Lin Qing Yi was the same. Even though she had a lot of things she wanted to say to Ling Xian, looking at the Seventh Princess' serious expression, she stood on the side quietly.

"Seventh Princess, if you have something to say, then say it." Ling Xian's smile was faint and his starry eyes flashed with interest.

Noticing Ling Xian's interest, the Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow, "It seems like you know what I want to talk to you about."

"As the Seventh Process in a dynasty that grants women power, if I cannot tell that you want something then I would be an idiot." Ling Xian grinned, his tone was determined.

"Ling Xian, you really is a smart one."

The Seventh Princess stared at Ling Xian and said, "I will not hide my intentions. I need you to help me with something."

"Something…" Ling Xian paused and asked, "If I'm not wrong, you want me to kill the Third Prince?"

"That's right. In this generation of the royal bloodline, only the Third Prince poses threat to me. If he dies, then the Zhou Dynasty will for sure be mine." The Seventh Princess displayed a big smile as if she can already see herself on the dragon's throne.

"Even though the Third Prince and I are not friends, what makes you think I'd help you?" Ling Xian frowned. The Third Prince's capabilities were no joke. On top of that, he was an important figure. Killing him wasn't easy.

"This makes me believe so."

The Seventh Princess beamed and took out a piece of black wood that was in the size of a thumb. Instantly, a strange and eerier atmosphere exuded, making everyone's soul feeling comfortable.

"Wood of the Warming Soul…"

Ling Xian's gaze turned heated. Even though this piece of wood was only the size of his thumb, it was more than enough for him and for the Immortal of Alchemy to be awakened!

Imaging Liao Cang Qiong's compassionate face, he couldn't help but to smile and think of the day he was awakened.

"Qing Yi has told me that you really need this. If what you needed is less valuable, I could've given it to you for free because of Qing Yi."

The Seventh Princess' lips parted as she swept her bangs behind her ears, "But this item is a treasure. If you do not give me something in return, I will not give it to you."

"This is a temptation that I cannot decline." Ling Xian sighed. This involved the life of the Immortal, he had to get his hands on the item.

Hearing this, the Seventh Princess smiled brightly, "Then, we reached an agreement?"

"I guess so. Since I cannot say no." Ling Xian sighed, "Tell me what you know about the Third Prince."

"Okay." She agreed speedily and began to share all the information about the Third Prince.

"The Third Prince is the emperor's third son. He was born with great talent and during birth, there was great phenomena happening all over the country. He is deeply loved by the emperor and for a good reason. His capabilities are known to be the best of the generation and he has already reached the completion level. He is frighteningly powerful."

After hearing the Seventh Princess' story Ling Xian frowned, "Tell me more details. Which stage of the completion level?"

"I am not sure. It's been a decade and more since he physically fought someone. Also, he possesses a secret treasure that disallows others from seeing through his true cultivation level." The Seventh Princess shook her head, "But based on my guess - at least the intermediate stage."

"Unknown abilities…"

The light in Ling Xian's eyes flickered as he felt troubled by this. But since he agreed to this, he won't regret it. After all, he had rivalry against the Third Prince and will have to fight him soon or later.

"My brother has always been mysterious. But his capabilities truly are powerful. His natural talent with techniques is frightening." The Seventh Princess sighed.

"It seems like you fought against him and somewhat lost." Ling Xian teased.

"You could say that."

The Seventh Princess sighed and did not want to speak more, "Since we came to an agreement, then I shall depart first. As long as you kill the Third Prince, I will give you the Wood of the Warming Soul."

"Take care."

Ling Xian's brows tightly knitted together. If it was true that the Seventh Princess lost to the Third Prince, then the Third Prince must have fearful abilities.

Even though he wasn't sure which pair of Inner Eyes the Seventh Princess had, but for the Inner Eyes to call out to each other, then her pair cannot be low in rank. If the Princess who had the Inner Eyes could not win against the Third Prince, then how capable was the Prince?

"Seems like I have to give it my all."

Sighing, Ling Xian's expression turned serious. The Third Prince and him are enemies, even if he steps out now, the Third Prince wouldn't let him off.

This battle was bound to happen!

"Qing Yi, come with me." The Seventh Princess glanced at the alluring lady.

Lin Qing Yi blushed and whispered, "It's okay sister, I want to stay with Ling Xian a bit longer."

"You value men over your friends." The Seventh Princess glared at her and said to Ling Xian, "I wonder what kind of power you have to keep my beautiful little sister up at night."

"I…" Ling Xian rubbed his nose, unsure how to respond.

"Hmmph, treasure her. In the entire city, countless of men are after my sister." The Seventh Princess then left.

After she left, only Ling Xian and Lin Qing Yi were in the palace.

Of course, there was Luo Xin Jie, but she was acting as if her soul had left her body. She did not speak nor move.

"Qing Yi, come sit."

Ling Xian waved at her and invited her to sit. They then began their long conversation.

He retold her the tales of his experience over the past seven years and she listened quietly by his side while staring at his face.

As these two exchanged their emotions of how much they had missed each other, the emperor's order that was as loud as thunder spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

There was only one order: [All completion levelled cultivators can challenge Ling Xian and fight to death!]

In that instant, all completion levelled cultivators paced around and sought after Ling Xian's trail. They wanted to use this opportunity to gain the emperor's liking.

It wasn't hard to track down Ling Xian. Someone found his trail quickly and came to the Princess' palace.

Then, everyone who was confident in his skills went on his way. There were young people and elderly. But without exceptions, they were all completion levelled cultivators.

After all, they all knew Ling Xian fought against four deputies. If they had no confidence, they wouldn't challenge him.

Just like that, completion levelled powerhouses from all around the Zhou Dynasty went on their journey and united at the Emperor's Millennium Capital.

In an instant, the entire Zhou Dynasty once again tossed and turned because of Ling Xian!
