Under the Sun inside the forest.

Ru Yu held onto Ling Xian’s hand and crossed over the invisible barrier. There was nothing in the way and it didn’t feel like anyone was being teleported. Such an easy and casual step brought them through the barrier that protected the entire Tianzhou.

This made Ling Xian bitterly chuckle. He didn’t think the barrier that troubled him was so easily breakable under the guidance of a local.

After this, he understood something. When this array senses Tianzhou being’s presence, it doesn’t stop them. Those beings who have no Tianzhou presence, cannot enter no matter what.

After he marched over the barrier and stepped onto Tianzhou’s land, a strange look flashed across his eyes.

This was all because Tianzhou’s spiritual energy was very dense. Based on his estimation, it was at least 3 times more than Yunzhou’s.

“It is no wonder this place is known as the most powerful continent. The spiritual energy level here is so much more than Yunzhou,” Ling Xian exclaimed. His eyes flashed expectantly.

With his achievement today, he has surpa.s.sed others who are in the same generation as him. Whether it is Yunzhou or Yuezhou, n.o.body from the same generation as him is better than him. Even members from the older generation are no opponents of his.

This was why Ling Xian felt bored.

He desired the largest stage and fights against true Heaven’s Favorites. Tianzhou, without a doubt, was the largest stage in the Taoism community.

Here, heroes are born in groups, Heaven’s Favorites and talented cultivators are countless. Only here, will he be able to start satisfying killing sprees with true Heaven’s Favorites!

“This level of spiritual energy is nothing. You know, this is the most remote place in Tianzhou. The center of the continent has spiritual energy way heavier than here.”

Ru Yu pouted. She looked at Ling Xian the same way she would look at an uneducated man, “You are so uncultured.”

“You’re right. I am not like you, to be born in Tianzhou from the beginning.” Ling Xian softly grinned, ignoring her petty revenge.

At this, Ru Yu grumbled and purposely talked down to Ling Xian, “I admit it, you are powerful now. But there are many many Heaven’s Favorites at your level in Tianzhou. All those powerhouses are insanely strong.”

Then, her eyes flared up expectantly, waiting for Ling Xian to look troubled.

Sadly, she was disappointed.

Not only did Ling Xian not frown, he became interested, “Oh? Tell me, who are the most powerful Heaven’s Favorites in Tianzhou.”

“There are too many. I can’t name them all.”

Ru Yu pouted and mumbled, “What is it… why can’t you ever feel stressed or pressured?”

Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.

He had two goals coming in here. First one was to find the legendary Nirvana Fountain and successfully transform. The second was to meet all the notable figures and fight the talents of Tianzhou to test out his capabilities.

Therefore, why would he feel stressed? He wanted there to be more and more Heaven’s Favorites. Only when he defeats truly powerful cultivators, will he earn the right to ride above others!

“What an abnormal person.”

Ru Yu softly mumbled, “Alright, now that I brought you in, it’s time you do something for me.”

“Speak of it. If it’s within my capabilities, and if it’s not against my moral.” Ling Xian grinned, indicating for her to speak quickly.

“So this is what’s happening.”

At the mention of this, Ru Yu looked troubled, “I was doing well spending time outside, but a year ago, I got my Clan’s message and they asked me to go home and get married.”

“Get married?”

Ling Xian was a little startled. He realized something and smiled bitterly, “Hey you, are you… asking me to mess up this arranged marriage?”

“Hehe, smart, you figure things out fast.”

Ru Yu chuckled. Her black stone like eyes stared at Ling Xian without blinking. They were flooding with colors of hope.

“There’s a saying that it’s better to destroy 10 temples than ruin a marriage. I am not going to do something like that.” Ling Xian bitterly laughed. He thought of multiple scenarios but he didn’t antic.i.p.ate the matter to be like this.

To break an arranged marriage? What kind of favor is that!”

“Hey, you already agreed to it! You cannot regret it now!”

Ru Yu was agitated at once and waved around her pink fist. She said violently, “I don’t care. You have to ruin this marriage for me.”

“I agreed to it, that’s true. But I didn’t know it was about breaking off your engagement. How do I do something like that…”

Ling Xian bitterly smiled. If this was something else, he could easily help her out. After all, she did a big favor for him.

But for such an unreasonable matter… how can he help? Wouldn’t he be offending two families?

“First, this is something within your capability. Second, it doesn’t disobey your morale. Why can’t you help me?”

Ru Yu didn’t give up. Seeing Ling Xian’s bitter face made her clench her teeth, “Whatever. I will tell you the whole story about this matter then.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. There are hidden secrets about this matter?

“Aye, this engagement isn’t what you think… it’s not the type where both families agreed to it.”

Ru Yu exhaled deeply, her face was full of anger, “It is the w.a.n.g Clan who one sidedly pushed this onto me. Their goal is to use this opportunity to steal my clan’s treasures. But my clan, the Wen Clan, is no opponent of theirs. So I have to choose to obey and sacrifice myself.”

“You are telling me they are s.n.a.t.c.hing women in broad daylight?” Ling Xian frowned. If that’s the case, then breaking up this arranged marriage is something he should do.

“You could understand it that way. I do not want to be a sacrificial lamb and I do not want the w.a.n.g Clan to steal my Clan’s treasures.”

Ru Yu’s face was full of hatred and some helplessness.

“I see how it is.”

Ling Xian was a little silent, “In other words, if I meddle, I would have to go against the w.a.n.g Clan.”

“That’s right.”

Ru Yu’s eyes were apologetic, “I am sorry. I am truly out of options. I just ran into you coincidentally and thought of asking you for help.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian silenced and calculated the pros and cons regarding this matter.

Without a doubt, if he chooses to help, he will for sure wrong the w.a.n.g Clan. As a newcomer here, it wasn’t good to start off that way.

However, he has always been a man of his words. Since he had already agreed to help Ru Yu, he shouldn’t bite back on his words.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he will only do what he is capable of.

Therefore, after moments of silence, he asked, “Are there fifth level powerhouses in the w.a.n.g Clan?”

“Of course not. Fifth leveled powerhouses are not like cabbages. Even in Tianzhou, there aren’t many.”

Ru Yu gently shook her head, “If there were fifth level powerhouses in the w.a.n.g Clan, I wouldn’t have asked you to help me.”

“As long as there are no fifth level cultivators.” The corners of Ling Xian’s lips curled up and he said something that brought Ru Yi much joy.

“I will take care of this matter. I will take it I am doing G.o.d’s work.”

At those words, Ru Yu exploded into a bright smile. At the same time, her large eyes were full of admiration.

Just how authoritative did that statement sound!

If this was anyone else, they would’ve had to find out the w.a.n.g Clan’s real capabilities before making a decision. But Ling Xian merely asked if they had a fifth leveled cultivator. He didn’t even ask about their original leveled cultivators.

What he meant was that as long as there are no fifth leveled cultivators, all other powerhouses were within his grasp.

How much confidence was that? And just how imperious was that?

“Let’s go. After I take care of matters for you, I will have to deal with what I came here for.” The corners of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He was full of antic.i.p.ation.
