Whoos.h.!.+

Hua Wan Yue’s face was white as she stabbed her sword right away. The long blade sliced across the sky, revealing its sharpness.

It was like an immortal had attacked with the intention of destroying the world!

However, Ling Xian’s expression did not change the slightest. He remained calm and collected.

If this was before, he would have to treat this attack seriously. But now, he didn’t care much for it.

After the sword pierced through the window, the wind began to howl. Ling Xian merely raised his right palm and fluttered it. It was like he was. .h.i.tting a fly – so easy.

Such a casual strike made the terrifying sword strike disappear.

This made Hua Wan Yue’s face change color. A sense of urgency appeared between her brows, “Just who are you? If you have such capabilities, why would you hide?”

“I did not intend to hide. You merely didn’t want to enter.”

Ling Xian hid a smile behind his lips and his sleeve flapped by. The door opened and he exposed himself before Hua Wan Yue.

Instantly, this city mayor was stunned.

She glanced the faintly smiling young man from top to bottom. There was shock, disbelief, and excitement in her eyes.

Only after a long time, did she regain herself and stared deadly at Ling Xian. “You… are you a person or are you a ghost?”

“You call yourself an original leveled powerhouse and yet you ask such dumb questions.” Ling Xian laughed. “Can’t you feel the blood boiling in this body?”

“I can sense it, but this is far too unbelievable. How come you didn’t die?” Hua Wan Yue was full of shock. Her full chest was heaving up and down, signaling the turmoil that was generating inside.

“The guardian of h.e.l.l didn’t want me just yet. So he returned my soul.”

Ling Xian answered softly. Staring at the shocked Hua Wan Yue, he chuckled, “Alright, I won’t joke anymore. Do you want me dead that badly?”

“Of course I don’t. But not even in my dreams did I think you would be able to revive yourself.”

Hua Wan Yue’s chest continued to heave up and down. The way she looked at Ling Xian was the same way she would look at a ghost. Other than shock in her eyes, she was also somewhat happy.

After learning about Ling Xian’s death, she was sad for a period of time. Now that he was safe and sound before her, why wouldn’t she be happy?

“It looks like the mysterious powerhouse that’s been in all the rumors is you after all.” Hua Wan Yue remained astounded. Thinking about how Ling Xian humiliated all the Sects and Houses, she was even more surprised.

She didn’t think that Ling Xian would be able to come back to life. She really didn’t think he would come back so dominating!

“I got lucky.”

Ling Xian shook his head and joked, “The reason why the seven Sects and 18 Houses merely swallowed their humiliation is probably because they think my capability is as powerful as 10 years ago so they don’t dare to touch me. But reality is that I am a handicap.”

“Handicap?”

Hua Wan Yue was startled. Then, she noticed that Ling Xian did not exude any spiritual energy. She hurriedly asked, “What happened? Where’s your Qi?”

“Ugh.. the price to pay for coming back to life. You don’t need to be nervous.”

Seeing Hua Wan Yue’s hasty expression, Ling Xian was a little surprised. His intention was just a joke. Even though he couldn’t use his Qi right now, his physique was far more powerful than when he did have his Qi.

Therefore, he wanted to joke with Hua Wan Yue. He didn’t expect her to take it seriously and to be so troubled that she would start acting like she was the one who lost her Qi.

This made Ling Xian silently exclaim that he now owes her something too now.

“That makes sense. After all, you did something heaven-defying. There should be some price to pay.”

Hua Wan Yue nodded softly. Then, she remembered how Ling Xian so casually waved his hand and stopped his sword. Her troubling reaction was unnecessary, she realized. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Can you not joke with me? You call yourself a handicap? If you are a handicap, then I might as well kill myself.”

“Haha, I got something good out of an unfortunate situation.”

Ling Xian brightly laughed, “Though my spiritual energy is sealed temporarily, my physique turned extremely strong. It is not at all weaker than when I had spiritual energy.”

“Any weaker?”

Hua Wan Yue bitterly chuckled. “When you had your spiritual energy, you were merely at the beginning stage of the original level and found it difficult to defend against my sword. Just now, you so easily deflected it. This physique is something even I find shocking.”

“If I am guessing correctly – you in your current condition is equivalent to an ancient soldier. The level of your physique is also very high.”

Hua Wan Yue complimented and exclaimed, “I don’t know how powerful you will be the day you break all your seals with your spiritual energy and use it to fight alongside your physical body.”

“Let’s not talk about that now. Let’s talk business.”

Ling Xian smiled and cut the chase, “The reason why I am here is to ask for a drop of the Holy Spirit Water.”

“I knew you wouldn’t visit this place unless you needed something.” Hua w.a.n.g Yue softly sighed. It wasn’t for certain if she sighed because Ling Xian came with a purpose or if she sighed because he wanted a drop of the Holy Spirit Water.

“I am in urgent need of that. I wonder if you can do me a favor. I can exchange something valuable of mine in exchange.”

Ling Xian said in seriousness. His flapped around his sleeve and more than 10 treasures emerged, making the room look dizzying bright.

There were more than 10 spiritual Dans with the remaining being powerful treasures. These were all the items he collected travelling the world over the years. All of them were invaluable

Of course, the Soaring Key, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, and the Divine Book of Genesis were not things he would take out. As for the Flag of Evocation – that was used up when he came back to life and had disappeared into pieces.

The Devious Disinterment Flower disappeared as well.

“You sure have a lot of treasures… even a mayor like myself does not have your wealth.”

Hua Wan Yue bitterly smiled. After a moment of silence, she exhaled deeply. “Oh well. I will just give it to you as a gift to congratulate your revival.”

Then, she summoned and a small gla.s.s bottle appeared. It emitted an immense amount of vitality.

This made Ling Xian’s lips curl up, “Thank you, leader.”

“It’s what I owe you.” Hua Wan Yue softly sighed and shot Ling Xian a complex look.

There was regret, thankfulness, and an explainable emotion.

“You are being too polite. I am the one who owes you.”

Ling Xian responded. Then, he pointed at those invaluable treasures and offered, “Please, pick whatever you want. Even if you take all of them, I will not express any unpleasantness.”

“You are sure?” Hua Wan Yue mocked.

“Of course. To me, this drop of water weighs more than all these.” Ling Xian smiled in return.

Hua Wan Yue played with her bangs and looked at Ling Xian seriously, “To me, a favor from you, and to be thought of by you, is more valuable than these treasures.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian thought again about how much he owed her and how he cannot ask for anymore. Therefore, he straightened his body and put back all the treasures.

Hua Wan Yue’s expression changed and she croaked, “You… you are leaving so soon?”

“I have other matters to attend to. If opportunity allows, we will catch up.” Ling Xian silently sighed and paid his respect, “Goodbye.”

Then, he tore the s.p.a.ce before him and immediately disappeared.

This surprised Hua Wan Yue. She didn’t expect Ling Xian to be as powerful as she is now after reviving. But very quickly, her shocked expression turned dim.

So many words and so many thoughts. They all transformed into a complex long exhale.

“Aye, so he is the one who got away. I will just let him be the great regret of my life.”
