Chapter 528: Trouble

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

In midair, an infinite amount of devious energy dissipated throughout. Even the eternally shining Sun could not disperse the coldness in the air.

The color red dyed the entire sky, as the entire group of cultivators' souls were destructed here and now.

The rampage came quickly and ended just as fast. From beginning to end, only a quarter of an hour had passed.

One has to admit that the demon truly was powerful. Even though his cultivation level had fallen to the original level, his prowess remained shocking enough to astound everyone. He had long surpassed all the normal original leveled cultivators!

Right now, he was standing with his back straight in the middle of all the chaos. His black hair was in a messy disarray and devious energy was swirling all around him. Just like the reincarnation of the ancient keeper of hell, his terror had reached an extreme. Every single time he raised his arm, everything within three miles were destroyed.

Behind him, a mountain of corpses and a lake of blood emerged, looking like the eighth level of hell and sending chills down people's spines. Especially after killing that last 10 spiritual beings, the mountain and the lake looked even denser and real – giving this entire situation a feeling of pure terror.

Even Ling Xian, who has always been extremely powerful, was suffocating at this scene. However, he was extremely determined at heart and has witnessed much war, therefore, he merely froze for a breath of time before returning back to normal.

The demon's eyes flashed with a look of strangeness. He knew very well that the mountain of corpses and the lake of blood was truly horrifying. Even though his cultivation had fallen and he no longer posed as much threat as he used to, his ability should be strong enough to startle an original leveled cultivator for a short while.

As for completion leveled cultivators, to not have been bleeding from the shock was already an extremely rare event.

Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian merely froze for a breath of time before returning to normal. This made the demon exclaim to himself.

What an unparalleled Heaven's Favorite.

At the same time, Ling Xian was silently exclaiming over the demon's prowess from the bottom of his heart.

After all, the demon was a powerhouse who once dominated the entire community. Even though he has been repressed for thousands of years and his level of cultivation had fallen as a result, he remained a cultivator of the original level. His spiritual energy, though devious, was completely captivating and was domineering enough to overpower nature.

"No wonder you were once a powerhouse who exceeded the fifth cultivation level. You sure are powerful." Ling Xian complimented.

"I am not anymore. Because of the liquidation technique you imposed on me, my cultivation level has been pushed back down to the original level."

The demon's expression was calm and was neither happy nor angry. Deep within his eyes, however, lingered a trace of helplessness. As a powerhouse who surpassed the fifth level of Taoism, he has gotten used to being extremely powerful. Today, he suddenly fell down to the original level, it would be a miracle if he was in a good mood.

No cultivator in his shoes would be in a good mood right now. However, he didn't dare to reveal his unhappiness in fear of provoking Ling Xian and being trapped inside the monument again.

Ling Xian had the Demon Defending Monument after all. It didn't matter if the demon was of the fifth level or even higher. When the monument is used, the enemy will be instantly suppressed. There was no room for other results.

What could he do? The fact that the Demon Defending Monument could defeat all demons was not a rumor based on lies.

"With your capabilities, it won't be long before you can rise back up to the fifth level of Taoism. When that happens, you can once again rule your little world and live freely." Ling Xian faintly grinned.

"So what if I can once again breakthrough to the fifth level? I will still be under your control won't I?"

The demon's expression was completely calm and unaffected. It was as if after experiencing the pain of the liquidation process, he lost all of his arrogance and was not rather humble.

"I like what I am hearing." Ling Xian's lips revealed a satisfied smile.

It was true, no matter how powerful the demon was, he cannot escape the repression of the Demon Defending Monument. In other words, whenever Ling Xian wants, he can ask the demon to do something of him, anything.

In other words, Ling Xian acquired an ultimate fighter!

"Hmmph, don't ever forget what you promised me," the demon coldly hissed, "As long as I complete three tasks for you, you will let me go. I have completed one just now, only two remain."

"Don't worry. I am a man of my words. I always keep my promises." Ling Xian smiled very gently. He had no plans to give the demon a hard time.

After all, he was a super powerhouse. If he tries to forcefully keep the demon and the demon forms a grudge, then even with the Demon Defending Monument, the demon will never show his face ever again.

Therefore, he made an agreement with the demon. As long as the demon finishes three tasks for him, then the demon can go wherever he wants.

"Okay, then what are the last two tasks?" The demon asked in a hurry. He very much wanted to fulfill his promises and quickly leave this scary human being.

Yes, in his heart, Ling Xian was no different than a demon himself.

Even though Ling Xian's cultivation level was not extremely high, he somehow knew how to activate the Demon Defending Monument and can repress the demon anytime he wanted. What's even more fatal was that Ling Xian knew the liquidation process, which mean the demon's life is completely in Ling Xian's hand.

Thus, the demon very impatiently wanted to leave this evil one.

Pity though, Ling Xian made a light statement that infuriated the demon and confirmed his belief that Ling Xian was absolutely evil.

"About that. I haven't really thought about it. Why don't you just stay by my side for a while. When something is up, I will give you a proper order."

Ling Xian lightly beamed. Only an idiot would order the demon to do all 3 tasks right now and give the demon an opportunity to leave. Don't forget, Ling Xian was in a critical situation right now. If he doesn't use this violent man, then he would be no different than an absolute idiot.

However, before his eyes, the cultivators who were pursuing him have all fallen. Doesn't this mean he is no longer in immediate danger?

This was obvious. Ling Xian attracted all these powerhouses because he killed the inheritor of all the different foreign beings. Yet now, he had killed the powerhouses each being's leaders sent. There was now a clear establishment of hatred.

Unless one side completely admit defeat, it will be impossible to restore peace and resolve this hatred. Especially under this circumstance, when the two parties are completely hating each other. Because one side were the humans and the other side were the foreign kinds, there was almost no way to relieve this hatred.

In Yunzhou especially, provoking a very mighty foreign kind was a very dangerous thing. On top of that, Ling Xian didn't just provoke one foreign kind, he provoked a bunch of foreign kinds!

In addition, among his enemies, three of them were foreign kinds full of top talents!

There was the golden roc kind, the six-armed gorilla kind, and the nine-headed spiritual lion kind. Which one of them wasn't terrifying in their own way? On top of that, there were 20 to 30 other foreign kinds, meaning that he had angered the heavens and only death awaits!

In Yunzhou, to wrong a bunch of different foreign kinds, including three deeply rooted and respected royal kinds was insanely risky even to an original leveled cultivator. Ling Xian was merely of the completion level.

"My situation will be tough to figure out."

Ling Xian softly sighed, feeling stressed. He talked to himself, "I truly cannot get a moment of peace no matter what I do. I just resolved the whole Imperishable Temple situation, and now I angered all the different foreign kinds in Yunzhou."

If this was anyone else, who was now the targeted enemy of a bunch of foreign kinds, they would be acting like ants walking on a hot pan – hastily and in a hurry to escape. Yet Ling Xian merely exhaled deeply. Ignoring everything else, his collected nature alone cannot be out competed by others.

"I wronged a bunch of foreign kinds, I am dead meat."

The demon's eyes flashed with a wave of strangeness. "You are reacting to this so calmly. Even I am admiring you a little."

"You are flattering me. I have experienced too much danger, which is why I am so used to it," Ling Xian said softly and glanced at the corpses all over the ground. He sighed, "I bet after this, countless amount of trouble will come find me at my door. I will not have any peace."

This was obvious. First, he killed all the strongest inheritors of the different kinds, then, he killed the powerhouses of the different foreign kinds. Why would the foreign kinds let him go easily?

This was why Ling Xian was not going to let the demon off the hook so easily and so soon. If he does this strategically and correctly, he can use the demon to get himself out of this tough situation.

The demon realized this too and frowned. "Are you thinking of asking me to help you to fight against the foreign kinds?"

"Intelligent one."

Ling Xian lightly smiled, "The situation I am in is rather troublesome. Or rather, it's a dead end for me. The only thing I can count on, other than my House, is you, the superpower."

Even though the Wan Jian House was one of the nine top Houses and Dao Wu Ji had been protecting him in all situations, Ling Xian wasn't sure if the Wan Jian House was going to become enemies with all the different foreign kinds just for him.

After all, if the different foreign kinds link arms, unless the 10 dynasties and the nine Houses link arms as well, then Wan Jian House cannot defeat the foreign kinds by itself.

Therefore, the only hope he had before him was the demon.

"Hmph, you sure are calculative." The demon coldly hissed, not exactly feeling happy.

Though he was extremely capable, he had fallen to the original level after all. If he does end up fighting all the different foreign kinds, it is not a guarantee that he can retreat safely and by himself. Therefore, this situation does him no good.

However, Ling Xian didn't care if he accepts it or not. In a commanding tone, he ordered, "Demon, you will follow me around and protect me. It's settled. I wonder if you have any oppositions?"

"Since you said it's settled, why would I speak of any oppositions? Plus, would… would I be allowed to disagree?" The demon hissed. He wanted to say "Would I dare to disagree", but he found it to be far too shameful and embarrassing, therefore, he changed the word to "allowed".

"Haha, you are not allowed. And you don't dare."

Ling Xian laughed. "So, you should just stay by my side obediently. If a foreign kind pursues me and tries to harm me, you should deal with them for me."

"Yes I know, I will do my best to help you through this."

The demon very unwillingly agreed to this. He wanted to leave so bad and not give a cr*p about Ling Xian's life or death. However, he was terrified of being oppressed by the Demon Defending Monument again, or being melted into a pool of blood.

Therefore, he had to agree unwillingly. Even though it was dangerous for him to fight against all the foreign kinds, taking the risk is better than dying now.

"Very good. Don't worry, this counts as the second task." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, "After you complete three tasks, I promise to let you go. I will not bite back on my words."

"I sure hope so."

The demon sighed softly. "What are you planning to do for your next step?"

"I am of course going to return to my House to see if the Supreme Headmaster is willing to protect me." Ling Xian softly grinned and called out the Winged Blitz. He flew towards the north.

Angering various foreign kinds, including three royal kinds, this entire ordeal is not a small one. He naturally had to use all the connections he could gather to protect himself.

Therefore, Ling Xian decided to return to the House to both seek protection and to seek enlightenment from the three pages of the Divine Book of Genesis.

However, just as the demon and him traveled back to the Wan Jian House, Yunzhou, the entire city, once again fell into a turmoil because of Ling Xian. With an undefeatable amount of energy, the entire Yunzhou once again rattled.
