Chapter 806: Yielding

If you don’t admit your defeat, fight me!

These short statements once again reflected Ling Xian’s vigor and astonished the entire Yuezhou.

Against the seven Sects and 18 Houses’ whines and unreasonable shouts, Ling Xian’s response remained sturdy until the end. He merely used these four words to express his overbearingness!

Without a doubt, this statement ripped apart the last thin veil that covered up the Sects and Houses’ façade. All their face have now been lost.

This made the cultivators who haven’t been liking the Sects and Houses’ actions cheer and they complimented Ling Xian’s overbearingness.

Then, everyone began to act like they were ready for a good show as they waited for the Sects and Houses’ responses. To them, the seven Sects and 18 Houses must be jolting up like thunder and sending powerhouses out to get Ling Xian.

However, after a day passed, they didn’t issue any response.

Then, after another day, the seven Sects and 18 Houses still did not respond.

After two days, these 25 major forces kept their silence. Sending out powerhouses? They didn’t even speak a word.

Three days passed, and these controlling forces remained unmoving and silent as if dead.

This was all because after the seven Sects and 18 Houses paid the price, they hired am omnipotent psychic who correctly deduced the name of the mysterious man.

Ling Xian!

These two words made the seven Sects and 18 Houses fall into a statement of shock and also silenced them.

They could not imagine how a man, whom the Heavens sent signals to mourn his death, came back to life.

From certain degrees, this was harder than climbing up to the sky.

Therefore, the seven Sects and 18 Houses were shocked to a point of no return. After much astonishment, these forces all fell into silence.

Nobody dared to be arrogant. Though they all felt humiliated, they had to choke down this anger.

Because after experiencing that battle 10 years ago, and the battles just now, the capabilities of the seven Sects and 18 Houses have decreased by a landslide. All that’s left were a few powerless kitties.

Using the Shang Qing Sect as an example, they only had three original leveled cultivators left. Out of them, two were at the weakest stage of the original level.

As for how powerful Ling Xian’s battling abilities were, none of the Sects or Houses had a comprehensive understanding. This was because all those who faced him have died.

However, based on what his opponents did, it became obvious that he was very strong. At least out of everyone in the original level, nobody was comparable to him!

Don’t forget, whether it was the war from a decade ago, or now, Ling Xian had killed more than 20 original leveled powerhouses. Why wouldn’t the seven Sects and 18 Houses be annoyed?

No, to put it more accurately, they were scared.

A monster who killed more than 20 original leveled cultivators… even if the Sects and Houses form an alliance, they might not be able to defend against him!

Of course, it wasn’t that the different forces did not have fifth leveled powerhouses. The Shang Qing Sect, for example, had two.

But because of certain restrictions, the fifth leveled cultivators could not leave their homeland. If they could, then 10 years ago, the fifth leveled cultivators would’ve killed Ling Xian.

Therefore, after learning that the person starting all this was Ling Xian, the seven Houses and 18 Sects went silent. Nobody dared to say anything more and nobody dared to challenge him for a fight.

Though this was humiliating, the seven Sects and 18 Houses had to swallow this!

Because of this, the entire Yuezhou boiled.

People were shocked, scared, and were all in disbelief.

To be silent against Ling Xian’s overbearing provocation, what did this mean?

It means these forces were yielding to him!

After Ling Xian’s blunt humiliation and naked public shaming, the controlling forces of Yuezhou decided to yield to him!

….

Under the setting Sun, red light reflected off the ground and brightened this land.

On a major street with many intersections, Ling Xian bathed in the Sun and walked forward slowly. He was enjoying Yuezhou’s beautiful scenery and was heading towards his destination.

His at-ease look made it seem like he wasn’t the mysterious powerhouse who just created a turmoil in Yuezhou. Instead, he was just a regular joe walking on the street.

He enjoyed his travels and looked around at the sceneries. He was in a good mood and was drowning in all of the best views of Yuezhou.

Ru Yu, who was beside him, was looking at him with much admiration. She followed Ling Xian closely, like a piece of gum that refuses to let go.

This made Ling Xian speechless.

Ever since he made that dominating announcement, he found this young lady looking at him with nothing but admiration. Especially after the seven Sects and 18 Houses did nothing to respond, the respect in her eyes deepened and stars were almost shooting out of her eyes.

But, it wasn’t time to separate yet so he let the young lady do whatever she wanted to.

“Your Highness, you are so great!”

Ru Yu’s eyes remained full of admiration and said, “I cannot believe you used one sentence to diminish the overbearingness of the Sects and Houses. You stopped them from going overboard.”

Ling Xian smiled but didn’t say much.

He had already guessed it. The reason why the Sects and Houses weren’t making any noise was that they guessed his identity. Plus, a decade ago, he had fended them off already, so they naturally wouldn’t dare to fight him again.

Ru Yu was not mad that Ling Xian ignored him. She continued, “Your Highness, the Sects and Houses are obviously afraid of you. Why don’t you take advantage of this and beat them up?”

“First of all, I have unleashed all my anger so this entire rivalry is done in my mind. If I continue, there are no benefits in it for me.”

Ling Xian answered softly, “Second of all, the Sects and Houses have decided to just be humiliated likely because their fifth leveled cultivators cannot be used. Or else why would they just swallow this humiliation?”

“That’s true.”

Ru Yu nodded as if she understood. Her delicate face was full of excitement. “That is enough. The Sects and House are already the laughing stock of Yuezhou and have lost all their faces.”

“That is the price they had to pay. The price of twisting the truth.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. Not only did the seven Sects and 18 Houses lose a lot of powerhouses, but they have also lost all their pride, which was a heavy price to pay. Without a few centuries’ time, they will not recover.

Continuing this will not benefit him. Therefore, he decided to not hold onto this. After all, his anger was all gone, why continue to struggle?

“They deserved it!”

Ru Yu was very proud, “They humiliated my hero first! Let’s see if they still dare to spread rumors.”

“Naturally, they will not do that anymore. With what happened, the truth from decades ago will be known by more and more people. No matter how hard the Sects and Houses try, they will not be able to stop the passing of information between people.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and shot the beautiful young girl a look. He asked, ‘You admire the Demonic Highness that much?”

“Of course.”

At the mention of the Demonic Highness, Ru Yu’s brows rose and she began to speak in detail, “He is fearless against the strong and he never ran away. He fought a bloody battle all by himself to win against a group of men. Though he died in the end, he died gloriously. He truly is the hero of the century!”

Despite being used to being complimented, Ling Xian could not help but feel shy when he heard these words. He couldn’t help but wonder how she would act if she found out that the man beside him was her highly respected hero?

That would be interesting.

Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, “Then you go on and admire him. I have other business to attend to, our journey together ends here.”

Then, he tore a hole in the space before him and he disappeared without a trace.

This stunned Ru Yu. Only after a long time, did she began to pout with anger, “What! He didn’t even tell me his name. Damn that guy. Don’t let me catch you again.”
