"Ancestor, won't there be trouble with this family later?"
Flying through the clouds at a calm but fast speed, Xuan Li asked somewhat cautiously as she watched Ling Tian. Although the Gongsun family might be important in this south state, they were not in the sect, so it was different from the north state. Moreover, with an important and famous family, they could bring trouble to Ling Tian.
Although Xuan Li was happy and grateful that Ling Tian had defended her and her younger sister, she still worried about him. The Supreme Ancestor should be very strong like her Master and the other elders, but he would still have some difficulties, wouldn't he?
"You think I'm worried about a simple Gongsun family?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows with a faint smile towards Xuan Li. No trace of fear or remorse could be found on his face.
"No..." Xuan Li looked at his calm eyes and expressions and she unconsciously shook her head, feeling that sense of trust and confidence in him.
Ling Tian's palm fell on Xuan Li's small head, rubbing it affectionately. Even if existences belonging to the Immortal World came, Ling Tian would not hesitate, let alone be afraid.
"Hah! Big brother was great at teaching him a lesson! That bad guy just gave us ugly looks!"
Suddenly, Lang Qingzu smiled coldly and triumphantly at the thought of what happened. Her small stature and expression were amusing without her realizing it. That guy's gaze was very much like those perverted and evil old men, whom she hated and repulsed very much.
Ling Tian was amused at Lang Qingzu's behavior, shaking his head. A simple Gongsun family did not enter his eyes; besides, with the last offense they made, Ling Tian did not care what happened to them. If they could survive, it would already be very lucky of them.
"Don't worry about it and let's move on. Some of your sect elders might be in this south state due to some circumstances, so we should find them."
Ling Tian casually commented, shaking off the two girls' worries.
"En!" Lang Qingzu nodded with a bright smile. The chance to be able to see the sect elders gladdened her little heart.
"Okay!" Xuan Li smiled happily and her spirit sense also expanded, wanting to help Ling Tian to perceive any happenings.
The vast valley stretched for thousands of miles without end. At some points they encountered several cultivators flying in different directions, a little more than half with their own flying swords, while the remaining ones moved on foot.
After a certain amount of time, Ling Tian and the two girls began to encounter more people the longer they flew.
"Usually when most of them gather in one place it means there is something important~"
Ling Tian chuckled as they encountered more and more people. He added more energy to the flying sword and carried both girls quietly, with terrifying speed.
"Hurry up! They say they found the inheritance of a powerful Nascent Soul expert! If we want to get lucky we have to hurry!"
"Martial brother, wait for me! Wait for junior martial sister!"
"My Master told me that there were already dozens of people in this place! We can't delay any longer if we want to try the test too!"
"Let's go! Let's go! We don't have much time!"
Many cultivators who were rushing towards the place where Ling Tian had predicted from various distant positions were rushing their own teammates, blurting out bits of relevant information while expressing their eagerness to attempt the test.
"Inheritance of a Nascent Soul expert?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, but without showing surprise or expectation. A Nascent Soul cultivator was already a terrifying expert powerhouse in this south state, so anyone would be shocked and delighted to be able to obtain their legacy.
Looking at Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu at his sides, Ling Tian smiled faintly. He has no interest or anticipation for this inheritance, but for both girls who were at the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be very beneficial.
"What's the matter? There are many older brothers and sisters flying to where we are going." Lang Qingzu looked around very curiously, observing all the cultivators in the distance flying and running towards where they were headed.
"Ancestor, do you know what's going on?"
After observing her surroundings for a while, Xuan Li turned to look at Ling Tian and asked curiously. She could more or less hear some whispers, but she still didn't know why the others' expressions seemed so excited or anxious.
"It's nothing. Just a little agitation over a small matter." Ling Tian let out a light laugh, not wanting to shock both girls too much for now.
More and more people were watching each other, finding as many as over 50 cultivators at a glance. These cultivators were giving off heavy and powerful auras, turning both Lang Qingzu and Xuan Li serious.
What appeared to be a valley with shattered mountains, a dried up river, dried up and destroyed wildlife, with quite a bit of debris with destroyed buildings and fallen walls of what appeared to be a small town, appeared before the sight of the three. An old and ancient pavilion in the middle still lay standing half buried, but gave the impression that it was about to fall just by looking at the old and weathered walls and ramparts.
The arrival of the three attracted a lot of attention, with most of the cultivators watching the three before focusing on Ling Tian. The female cultivators stared undiscreetly at Ling Tian, blushing and whispering to each other. The men looked ugly and hatefully at Ling Tian, showing black and grim expressions. All the people stood in front of the entrance of this small ruined city.
However, no one stepped forward or stood in front of the three. Most could sense the powerful auras of Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu, strong cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, especially the first older girl. But when they tried to discreetly sense Ling Tian's strength, no one could sense or measure his strength.
This only meant that his power was terrifying and superior than everyone in the place, so no one dared to say anything. Although he could also be a simple weak cultivator appearing to be a master with a stealthy cultivation technique, no one wanted to risk checking it out.
"Is it the ruins of a city?"
Xuan Li muttered as she glanced around the place quickly, observing the pavilion in the middle which was very old just like all the other buildings in ruins and almost on the verge of all its rubble falling down. There were even many trying to break through or attack a barrier that looked like a water curtain to get into the place, but to no avail.
"There are many destroyed and broken buildings, but there are no people inside..." Lang Qingzu watched the whole place intently, realizing that everyone else was outside the destroyed city as well as them, but there was no one inside, only destruction.
"Rather than a city, it's what's left of a sect or clan." Ling Tian quietly observed, as his spirit sense covered the whole place, realizing many things.
This place seemed to have some hidden and very ancient formations, while the destroyed buildings and rubble around gave the impression that they are in the process of being hidden under the sand and ground, getting lost in the depths of the continent forever. But Ling Tian knew it was the other way around; these buildings and ruins of the site were not being slowly buried, but were being driven to the surface again.
This was one of the many changes brought about by breaking the formation of the world.
The spirit sense collided with a barrier that seemed to form an invisible barrier around the ancient pavilion, easily preventing any cultivator from entering. A faint but powerful force comparable to the Body Condensation state was felt within.
Ling Tian smiled with slight interest as his spirit sense easily penetrated the barrier and observe the inside of the pavilion unhindered by any formation or force.
"Quite interesting..."
Ling Tian's jet black eyes flashed with insight and interest after withdrawing his spirit sense, letting out a faint smile. His mind shifted, he looked at both girls at his sides and after a moment's thought he made a decision.
