"Boom!" With a loud noise, Ling Mo Xie also tried out the skill "Glimpse of the Phoenix," leaving a deep sword mark on the wall, much deeper than the one left by Nan Jianjun earlier. "My pride has been severely hurt by you!" Nan Jianjun said, covering his forehead with a pitiful expression.
Ling Mo Xie smiled lightly, looking at Nan Jianjun with a higher regard. If Nan Jianjun, who considered himself a genius, couldn't accept such a contrast, Ling Mo Xie would have looked down on him. However, Nan Jianjun's performance now undoubtedly told Ling Mo Xie that he was not only unhurt but had also been inspired to fight back! Although he appeared nonchalant on the surface, Ling Mo Xie saw the determination in his eyes!
After resting for a while and adjusting his spiritual energy, Nan Jianjun stood up again and began to study the second mural. Ling Mo Xie nodded with a smile and began to explore the hall.
The hall was brightly lit by soft light, and after several hours, Nan Jianjun finally finished learning the four sword techniques, although there were still a few moves he couldn't use yet.
Seeing that he had learned everything, Ling Mo Xie turned to him and said, "Sword Lord! Come here! There's a passageway here; I don't know if it's an exit! Let's go take a look!" The passageway was accidentally opened when Ling Mo Xie was exploring the hall. The walls of the passage were made of white jade, embedded with luminous pearls that emitted a blue light, along with some precious refining materials arranged into pictures depicting scenes from the Death Warrior training ground.
Ling Mo Xie and Nan Jianjun walked into the passage together and proceeded forward without encountering any traps. Just when Ling Mo Xie thought they could walk out of this ruin, he noticed clear bloodstains in the brightly lit passage.
The bloodstains varied in brightness and seemed to belong to more than one person. They were chaotic and disordered, indicating that there had been panic when these stains were left behind! In addition to the bloodstains, there were also cuts and slashes on the walls near them. Seeing this made Ling Mo Xie feel uneasy; it seemed that a great battle had occurred here long ago! Or perhaps it was a chase?
As they walked further, bones began to litter the ground. Some bones were well-preserved, showing visible wounds that undoubtedly belonged to strong individuals. Others were just piles of white bones, suggesting they belonged to small children!
"This!" Nan Jianjun frowned as he looked at everything before him. "This doesn't look like a normal abandoned Death Warrior training camp!" Ling Mo Xie didn't say anything but recalled the notebook found in the stone chamber. He remembered how Nan Jianjun had also been pricked by that needle but hadn't opened the passageway. He thought about how his own father had gone missing around the time recorded on the last page of that notebook.
So many questions flooded Ling Mo Xie's mind; he knew that to unravel these mysteries, he needed greater strength!
Finally, an even brighter light shone from ahead. Could that be the exit? Ling Mo Xie quickly called for Nan Jianjun and quickened his pace. Indeed, it was an exit; it was located halfway up a mountain slope, leading out onto a stone platform that jutted outward. Stepping outside felt like a breath of fresh air!
"So you were here?" A voice came from behind. Ling Mo Xie turned around to see Ling Siwen standing atop the head of a Qingyun Beast, gradually flying over from afar.
"I've been looking for you for a long time! Did you find the mysterious-level spells left by the senior?" Ling Siwen asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Do you want to turn them in?" Ling Mo Xie retorted sarcastically, not taking Ling Siwen seriously. "No, forget it! Come up here! I'll take you back!" A hint of guilt flashed across Ling Siwen's face, but she didn't say anything more and just called for Ling Mo Xie to come up, preparing to return to Skywind City.
Ling Mo Xie also didn't say much more and got on the Azure Wind Beast with Nan Jianjun, flying towards Skywind City.
Along the way, Ling Siwen talked to Ling Mo Xie about the situation in Skywind City. In short, everyone's evaluation of Ling Mo Xie was quite negative—Waste, overestimating himself, insidious, plotting against Tian Wuxin, and so on; there wasn't a single good word said about him.
He had come out at just the right time, as it was the morning of the tenth day, the day of the agreed duel.
At this moment, the central square of Skywind City was already filled with citizens who had come to watch. Although they looked down on Ling Mo Xie in various ways, they still wanted to see how this overconfident Ling Mo Xie would be humiliated by Tian Dasha and bolster Tian Wuxin's reputation without fearing the power of the Ling Family!
Tian Wuxin stood steadily on the Arena in a black outfit. Below the Arena, some elders and disciples from both the Tian Family and Ling Family had already taken their seats, waiting to see Ling Mo Xie being humiliated by Tian Wuxin. Even those from the Ling Family were discussing how Ling Mo Xie was overestimating himself by daring to compete with Tian Wuxin.
As the sun rose higher, Ling Mo Xie still had not arrived, causing the watching citizens to become restless.
"Hey! Do you think that Seventh Young Master of the Ling Family has changed his mind at the last minute?"
"Do you think so? He must have realized how powerful Young Master Tian is and is too scared to compete now. He's probably hiding at home like a turtle!"
"Definitely! If he could really match up against Young Master Tian, he wouldn't have been driven to such a corner and wouldn't be hiding like this!"
Hearing the discussions among the citizens around him, Master Tian's wrinkled old face broke into an unpleasant smile. He turned to Elder Ling, who was temporarily presiding over matters for the Ling Family, and said, "Elder Ling, you've heard what the citizens are saying! Is it possible that Ling Mo Xie has backed out? If so, can we consider my family's Xin'er as victorious? Please hand over Ling Mo Xie!"
The Elder's face turned ashen, veins bulging on the back of his hand; he truly wanted to slap this Lord Tian to death! However, in front of so many people, he couldn't do that. Even though the Ling family was powerful, there were still two major families in Tianfeng City. If the Mu Family and the Yuwen Family found an excuse to unite against them, even the Ling family would face the risk of extermination!
"You all must know that Ling Mo Xie has been punished and sent to Chengqi Valley. The family head has already gone to bring him back, so just wait a bit longer!" The Elder said, suppressing his anger. Cursing under his breath, he thought that normally, a lord from a third-tier family like Tian wouldn't dare to speak to him this way, yet he had to endure it!
"Elder, it's not that I doubt you, but I've heard that Ling Mo Xie is favored by the Ling family head. This punishment of sending him to Chengqi Valley can't be just a cover-up, right? Is it just to avoid this competition?" Lord Tian pressed on relentlessly.
The Elder's expression darkened as he replied, "My Ling family is not at that level yet!"
"I see this as your Ling family's clever calculation. What do you mean by 'not at that level'? If you say it's not at that level, then it must be!" Tian Wuxin interjected. "I believe that sending him to Chengqi Valley is precisely to avoid this competition!"
Upon hearing Tian Wuxin's words, the surrounding commoners became energized and began shouting in agreement.
