Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek
Since the war between the four clans and the mysterious House, a whole month had pa.s.sed. The news about the war had been pa.s.sed around and caused a frazy that turned the entire Trading Island upside down. The news even pa.s.sed to other islands.
By now, everyone was aware of the result of the war and was aware that the trading island was still controlled by the five Clans. However, the most attention grabbing news was not the result of the war, it was a person, a name. A two charactered name.
Xian Ling!
Without a doubt, if anyone was the most attention grabbing in the war, it would be Ling Xian. First, he fought against the Second Elder and seven completion levelled cultivators by himself to gain Bai Xiao Qi the Clan Leader seat. Then, he suppressed the mysterious House and 20 something completion levelled powerhouses using the dragon"s chant and phoenix"s cry. How glorious of a record was this?
It was… unbelievable!
When everything Ling Xian had done became wildly known, everyone felt very shocked.
He broke through all the levels of the Tower of the Seventh Soul in half way. He identified the unknown flower of the Nan Gong Clan and lifted the curse that everyone was helpless before. He restored the Array of the Nine Dragons and awakened the awakening spell that saved the entire O Yang Clan!
Every single thing he had done had been heaven shocking. Anyone would"ve become famous off just one event. When all of these were done by one person, it became even more astonis.h.i.+ng.
Of course, this wasn"t the end. When everyone became speechless over what had happened, another rumor pa.s.sed around the Trading Island.
Xian Ling was Ling Xian!
These words created another storm that swept out the entire Trading Island!
Everyone was lost for words. They remembered the Heaven"s Favorites who shocked the 36 islands a few years ago, and were utterly stunned!
In that moment, Ling Xian became a figure that was like the Sun in the sky!
The entire Trading Island was talking about him. On street corners, inside tea houses, his bright name was being mentioned. Even the other 35 islands fell into a state of shock that made them exclaim his achievements.
The important figures overseas were surprised at this as well.
Without a doubt, Ling Xian has become a legend today. His name is now imprinted on the history of the Trading Island and will be remembered by all!
However, just as everyone discussed him, he evaporated from the mortal world. There was no news about him anymore. The old saying was true after all.
When the world talks about his legends, he is no longer in the world.
…..
Ling Xian disappeared. To put it more accurately, after his injuries healed at the Yan Clan, he disappeared.
Regarding this, Yan Xiong Fei and the other clan leaders did not feel worried. With his capabilities, not a lot of people on the 36 islands could hurt him.
However, his disappearance hurt two women.
One was Yan Ning Zhi, the other was Bai Xiao Qi.
The former was the prominent apprentice of Master Jiang Cheng Zhi, the jewel on the Yan Clan"s palm. With beauty and status, she was truly a Heaven"s Favorite. The latter was the leader of the Bai Clan, the new important figure of the Trading Island. Like a queen, she stood above all and peered down.
When these two learned the news that Ling Xian had vanished. They sent people to search and were determined to find him.
To know that these women had status and beauty, intelligence and background. The men that were after them were like fish in the sea, countless. Yet these two Heaven"s Favorites rejected all their pursuers and declined many talented male cultivators.
Before their eyes however, they had gone delirious over a man. This caused countless male cultivators to turn red from jealousy.
What a pity. No matter how they searched, they couldn"t even catch the shadow of Ling Xian. This made the women feel angry, but at the same time, made them realize one thing.
Ling Xian didn"t want to see them. If he wanted to see them, he would know that they were searching for him.
After realizing this, the two fo them finally gave up on searching. However, they silently swore that they will one day find Ling Xian and beat him up.
After Yan Ning Zhi and Bai Xiao Qi stopped sending people to search for him. The entire Trading Island returned to their normal peaceful days. n.o.body talked about Ling Xian anymore. However, the two charactered name was imprinted in everyone"s heart and mind, and was ingrained in the history of the islands.
He became a legend.
It wasn"t hard to predict that this legend will not fade with time. Instead, it will became more meaning as time went on.
…..
Inside a forest that wasn"t far from the Yan Clan.
Ling Xian wore all white. He stared afar, thinking.
Behind him, Feng Jiu Ge was looking beautiful. Her features were delicate and moving. As she stared at the thinning silhouette before her, she stayed silent for a while, "Master, is it really okay for you to leave without saying goodbye?"
"There"s nothing bad about it. It"s a good ending to all of us." Ling Xian softly sighed, knowing what Feng Jiu Ge meant.
"But… those two women…"Feing Jiu Ge stopped herself.
Ling Xian sighed. Reality was that he was somewhat pained by this decision. But he knew that it was better to have a clean break, "There are not "buts". I am leaving and I probably will never return in my life time. It"s better to be clean."
"Aye…" Feng Jiu Ge softly sighed. She knew that Ling Xian was right, but she found it hard to accept.
"Alright, there is no need for more words. I am determined." Ling Xian brandished his hand. Everything on the Trading Island had been dealt with and he had no more things on his mind. It was time to return to Yunzhou.
The days he took to heal himself, he has gathered all the materials required to form his spatial portal. Thus, he soundlessly disappeared from the Yan Clan in preparation to make his spatial portal and return to Yunzhou.
"Time is up. Let us go." Ling Xian suddenly spoke. He didn"t plan on making the spatial portal right here, he planned on going to Luo Xin Jie.
After all, he had promised the woman. Why would he bite back his words?
"Yes, Master." Feng Jiu Ge nodded softly and leapt into the sky in her true form.
Ling Xian tiptoed and hopped onto Feng Jiu Ge"s back.
Then, Feng Jiu Ge extended her white wings. Like a shooting star, she sliced across the sky towards where Luo Xin Jie lived.
Many people were stunned by this beautiful scene.
A graceful and royal phoenix flying across the sky, carrying a man wearing a robe white as snow. He stood there with hands behind his back, with his jet black hair behind his shoulders.
His aloof temperament made him stand out from everyone else. The moment everyone saw this scenery, their hearts fluttered.
