Chapter 449: Yet another Turmoil

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

It had been a month since the death of the two deputies. This shocking news began to spread like a storm and washed over the entire Zhou Dynasty.

When everyone first heard this news, their first reaction was disbelief.

How could anyone, on Zhou Dynasty's territory, would so openly kill two deputies? How was this possible?

Ignoring the status of the two deputies, their completion levelled capability was not something normal people can surpass. This entire story was unreal!

Only until Deputy Zhan and Deputy Chi stepped out and admitted this story, did people begin to accept. When they heard the killer of the deputies was named Ling Xian, they fell into an even heavier disbelief.

To the citizens of the Zhou Dynasty, the name Ling Xian was not an unfamiliar one. It was name that was imprinted onto their hearts. Seven years ago, he had used his power to create a giant wave in the dynasty that suffocated many of the locals.

However, back then, Deputy Xiao Yao had smashed the spatial portal and made everyone believe that he had died. Yet here he stood after killing two more deputies. How could everyone not feel shocked?

They were shocked over Ling Xian's resolution and over his capabilities!

In these short seven years, he had turned from the foundational cultivator then into the completion levelled cultivator today. He had also fought solo against four deputies. How unbelievable was this?

Everyone was naturally beyond surprised at this. After their initial shock, astonishment replaced it.

Astonished at the speed of Ling Xian's improvement.

Overnight, all the spotlight was on Ling Xian like he was the Sun in the sky!

Anywhere in the Zhou Dynasty, everyone talked about him with awe and admiration. This news had even crossed borders and were talked about in the surrounding dynasties.

The forces of power was about to change!

Everyone had realized this and began to guess.

Will Ling Xian once again powerfully attack and create a giant tidal wave that will drown out the Zhou Dynasty?

...

The Sun hung high. It was noon.

Inside a fancy and glorious garden, the Third Prince stood below a giant tree with red leaves. His handsome face squished together, making him appear insanely ferocious.

The entire Zhou Dynasty now knew about the news of Ling Xian. He was no exception. After these past seven years, he thought Lin Xian had died and his hatred faded as result.

But now did he realize not only is Ling Xian alive, he was now exponentially stronger than seven years ago. He was now strong enough to kill two deputies. This of course shocked the Third Prince and at the same time, infuriated him.

"Damn this man. He dares to come back."

The Third Prince had a dark look on his face and anger was seeping out of his eyes. After remembering that Ling Xian killed Deputy Xiao Yao, his lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Young man, you are seeking your own death. You could've killed anyone but you killed the royal emperor's favorite deputy. Do you not know? Deputy Xiao Yao is the emperor's most trusted official."

The Third Prince had a look of mockery as he stared at the white clouds and mumbled to himself.

"Young man, wait for my royal father's anger. I sure want to see if you can survive this…"

Inside the royal palace on a dragon carved seat, a person sat on it with closed eyes. He tapped the table with his fingers lightly. Nobody was sure what he was thinking of.

This person wore a robe with dragons on it and a crown on his head. He gave off no Qi, yet he appeared very powerful. The eunuch beside him was looking down and did not dare to breathe heavily.

After a long while, the powerful man finally opened his eyes. Immediately, two golden lights shot out and pierced through the space. The entire palace began to shake under the terrifying Qi and the structure of the building began to crack.

Luckily, this palace was protected by arrays. Or else this entire place would've collapsed.

"So you are telling me, the man named Ling Xian from seven years ago returned and killed Deputy Xiao Yao and Chang An?" the emperor spoke slowly and was without emotions. It was hard to know what he was thinking.

"You Excellency, that is correct."

The old eunuch lowered his head in respect.

"He sure is gutsy, he dares to kill Deputies on my land." The emperor's expression was calm as he continued to tap on the table, "If I'm not wrong, Dao Wu Ji sought after this guy seven years ago."

"Your Excellency, based on what I know, the young man named Ling Xian is a member of the Wan Jian House. Dao Wu Ji highly valued him and thus has been seeking this man throughout the entire Yunzhou." The old eunuch answered.

"I see..."

The emperor frowned slightly, "We cannot ignore Dao Wu Ji but I cannot let this man live. How about this, you make a statement on my behalf to the young generation: all young generation and those of the completion level must battle this man until death."

"Your words are my command."

The eunuch continued to flatter, "Asking those of the completion level to challenge him means even if Ling Xian dies, Dao Wu Ji cannot blame us because they are of the same level."

"That's right. I need to shut Dao Wu Ji up."

The emperor then shut his eyes and ordered, "You may go now. Remember, we cannot kill him in secret, we need to kill him openly."

"I understand."

The eunuch bowed and slowly backed out of the palace with a lowered head.

…..

At the same time, inside the Seventh Princess' palace, Ling Qing Yi had also heard the news about Ling Xian's appearance and she was stunned.

There was no emotional words nor ecstatic expression. Merely two streams of tears silenced glided down her cheeks.

Tears of happiness.

These past seven years she had been washing her face with tears. And now, she finally stopped containing herself and let her tears of joy down.

"Ling Xian, you are finally back. I knew you wouldn't die." Lin Qing Yi's tears dampened her clothes. She held tightly onto a Luxury Dan as her heart was stuffed with happiness.

"Thank god, thank god…"

Her tears kept on falling and her smile blossomed into a flower. She cried as she laughed, smiled as she whimpered.

These two contradictory emotions appeared very peaceful on this beautiful woman. Perhaps this was the only way to express her complex emotions.

She didn't know what to do with herself and just then, the Seventh Princess appeared before her window and teased, "Stop crying, my beauty. Someone just arrived and said he wanted to see you. I am guessing you really want to see him to."

The moment her voice trailed off, Lin Qing Yi's yes exploded with happiness. Turning into a flash of light, she headed for the entrance.

Her speed stunned the Seventh Princess. She frowned and said, "I have lived with you under the same roof for seven years and I've never seen you lose your composure like this. That young man named Ling Xian, is he really that attractive?"
