Silence ruled the place after a thin line cut through the city and illuminated everything in its path.
The giant fist that had formed and reached Ling Tian in an instant was split in half.
"You..." The soul figure was dumbfounded looking at Ling Tian before shouting with a cold and angry expression, "Kid! Don't let me find you if you don't want to suffer through this humiliation! Even if you have a powerful weapon, the Ji family will find you!" His figure split in half as if he had been cut by a line and disappeared.
"There is no need to search for me, because I will go to your family!" Ling Tian snorted derisively, watching the descent of the soul disappear. Most likely, this person would have thought that he had a powerful weapon and that was why he was able to eliminate him.
Besides, Ling Tian really planned to go to the imperial capital and of course he was going to collect his debt to this family.
"It's over?" Li Fengyuan muttered in stupefaction.
"What attack was that? It was a sword, wasn't it?" Feng Xiao was also no better and his expression was frightened.
"Take a good look..." Shin Wei spoke faintly.
Then, to everyone else's shock, a line that seemed to cut through both space and void was drawn in the direction where the soul figure previously stood, passing through the city lord and the patriarchs of the major families. They could all see a clean, straight cut that went through them and split them in half.
"Am I really going to die by the hand of a kid?" The city lord murmured as he looked at Ling Tian. A trace of regret and helplessness washed over him.
"You... who are you?" Simu Houcheng looked at Ling Tian in fear, feeling that his life had already been claimed. They had finally realized that Ling Tian was no mere youth and should be a peerless expert, simply amused to see them wanting to kill him when he could only kill them by just waving his hand.
Long Yin, Long Zhu, Feng Rao, Feng Xuan and the city lord were frozen in shock as a thin line showed on their bodies, piercing through and cutting them in half. The other members of their respective families stood behind them and were also cut by this line of what appeared to be a sword.
"You don't deserve to know my identity." Ling Tian gave a look full of indifference but without looking at them, showing them that he did not care about even their death.
The line that seemed to have cut through space passed through these people and stretched further, easily cutting through structures in its path and even cutting in half the great mountains miles away. The sky was not even spared as this cut was rising along the way and cut the clouds easily!
This generation of patriarchs and the city lord died with a clean cut on them, with their expressions showing that they were filled with terror and fear, with a reluctance to die. The Feng, Long and Simu families disappeared almost completely, with only a few members of them remaining. The city lord also died with most of his guards.
"Senior brother is an expert of the Great Ascension?" Feng Xiao's trembling voice was heard, clearly showing that he had learned Ling Tian's true strength.
Li Fengyuan nodded in shock, her gaze never leaving Ling Tian who was standing proudly there, as if it had only been as easy as wagging a finger.
The only answer is that Ling Tian should be an expert of the Great Ascension!
That's why he wouldn't mind a Ji family and even less would he mind despising this soul descent!
Only with this power he could despise the entire world!
"Master is really crippled right now..." Shin Wei simply shook his head at this moment and did not say anything else, truly knowing Ling Tian's current state. His gaze shone with adoration as he saw Ling Tian's means despite being crippled, remembering that he is still as powerful and imposing just like the past.
Is he really a cripple?
In both Feng Xiao's and Li Fengyuan's mind this question passed and they could not believe it. It was impossible to believe it! Although they could see that Ling Tian's meridians were shattered and it was impossible for him to be able to cultivate, they still doubted it. After all, what they just saw was impossible for a so-called crippled cultivator.
"Why the faces? Did you see the Sky King in person?"
Once Ling Tian calmly walked to where they were, a playful smile came across his face.
Feng Xiao was dumbfounded and his gaze became much more respectful, knowing that he was not on the same level as Ling Tian.
Li Fengyuan looked at Ling Tian in shock in the same way, feeling that she couldn't really believe that someone from her generation actually had such strength and power.
"I hope you don't mind. Your sword was badly cracked when I took it." Ling Tian passed the broken sword to Li Fengyuan; the cracks on its blade had shattered a part of it and it would no longer have any function.
"It's okay..." Li Fengyuan only nodded still with shock in her heart, taking her sword without thinking and not caring that it was broken. She remembered that this sword before it was destroyed easily broke Feng Xuan's technique, a technique which for her was complicated, while Ling Tian simply swung it without any cultivation strength and injured Feng Xuan easily.
Why don't you become my personal maidservant?
This question Ling Tian had asked her the night before flashed through her mind and a trace of blush was painted on her for the first time. Although she was still hesitant to do so, she could ask Ling Tian for a tip or two to become stronger just like him, showing a pride and calmness like he was at all times even facing those great experts.
"It's just that, becoming his servant is something..." Li Fengyuan whispered with reluctance in her heart. If she really became his servant, she could perhaps become strong by asking for his help, but it was from knowing that she would lose her freedom and become like a belonging to him, at best she would really be a maid in his care. No one wanted to lose their freedom in their life even if the other person was very powerful.
Ling Tian was not aware of Li Fengyuan's expression let alone her thoughts. His playful gaze smiled at Shin Wei and Xuanyuan Ling and said, "Let's go collect some debts from bad people and get justice, so let's go."
"Haha! Master, you must let me fight first!" Shin Wei nodded with a big laugh, remembering in the past when Ling Tian took care of evil people when he was short of money or needed some special resources. Ling Tian never attacked innocents but the evil ones, be it dual cultivators who killed their partner to evil sect leaders and so on.
Shin Wei felt like he was going back to those fun times with Ling Tian.
"Do justice?" Xuanyuan Ling's beautiful, delicate and long eyelashes flickered upon hearing this.
"What are you going to do?" Ling Tian looked with a slightly concerned look at Feng Wuyu.
"What can I do?" Feng Wuyu replied with the same question, but his tone was more respectful. But it still carried with it a trace of sadness and melancholy, "I really didn't think beyond this day."
Feng Wuyu had decided to die on this day, carrying out his revenge for his son. But now he did not know what to do. His son's killers had been killed and he no longer had a target.
"Your son wanted to do something when he was older?" Ling Tian asked softly, reminding him about Feng Yu.
"Something my son would have wanted to do..." Feng Wuyu blinked and thought about the times with his son.
'Dad! When I grow up, I will take care of those people who have been abandoned and have nowhere else to go!'
'It hurts me so much to see even those kids like me wandering on the streets with nothing to eat. Even though I know that these are their fates in life, it still saddens me...'
'If I can find the right medicinal herb for you, then I will know that my destiny is to care for and protect those people! Even my grandparents and distant family!'
For the first time, Feng Wuyu's gaze seemed to light up with a unique glow, forming a happy smile as he remembered this.
"Looks like you already know what to do..." Ling Tian said with a smile.
"Although I know it was my son's dream, I will fulfill it in his place until we meet in heaven again. If not, then I won't have a face to see my son!" Feng Wuyu nodded with a bright expression, looking at the sky and nodding to his new life mission.
"I will go somewhere else, far away from here to start over." Feng Wuyu looked at the corpses of his Feng family and felt no pain. All trace of affection for this blood family diminished when he lost his son and finally disappeared when he learned the truth.
"I know that you will probably reach a height that no one has ever imagined and now a simple family like this could not fit in your eyes, but I still thank you for everything you gave me." Feng Wuyu clenched his fists together and gave Ling Tian one last loving smile, as if he was saying goodbye to a family member very important to him.
"Take care of yourself." Ling Tian also nodded with a smile and waved his hand, waving goodbye to Feng Wuyu in the distance.
The people in the distance were still looking at Ling Tian with fear, lacking the courage to move and leave, as if they were afraid that Ling Tian would do something to them if they did.
"Hey, shouldn't you come down already? How long are you planning to keep sneaking peeks." Ling Tian smiled indifferently.
"I really can't hide my presence from little fellow, hehe."
A voice that Ling Tian noticed carried a trace of respect and even a hint of fear was heard once Feng Ye appeared, startling Feng Xiao and Li Fengyuan. His face held a nodding expression as he looked at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian was aware that Feng Ye was hiding from the beginning, watching what was going on.
"Grandfather!"
Feng Xiao exclaimed when he saw Feng Ye appear out of nowhere. Li Fengyuan also couldn't help but be surprised when she couldn't see his cultivation level.
"Are you going towards the Ji family?" Feng Ye looked at Ling Tian for a few seconds and asked.
Ling Tian smiled faintly, nodding at him. Feng Ye sighed inwardly, thinking that this calm young man would still have such a side.
"Come on. I imagine you'll have some flying artifact?" Ling Tian asked.
Feng Ye smiled helplessly and nodded, "Of course. It will take us a few days to reach the capital." His hand waved as a somewhat small craft appeared, about with space for five people.
But Ling Tian looked over and smiled. The space inside was more than what could be seen with the naked eye.
"Wait!"
Before Ling Tian walked up, a voice trembling but full of curiosity was heard.
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Fengyuan, who's complexion was filled with curiosity as a nervousness attacked her body.
"What? Now you really want to be my personal maid?"
Ling Tian asked with a small smile, making Li Fengyuan blink in surprise.
Silence ruled the place after a thin line cut through the city and illuminated everything in its path.
The giant fist that had formed and reached Ling Tian in an instant was split in half.
"You..." The soul figure was dumbfounded looking at Ling Tian before shouting with a cold and angry expression, "Kid! Don't let me find you if you don't want to suffer through this humiliation!
