A giant finger appeared and pierced the figure of the golden lion, making it instantly disappear as if it had never existed.
"Who?!" Wen Woo's intuition was heightened to the maximum as he saw that his soul attack had been wiped out and even a part of his consciousness sea was injured as he lost the connection of his attack technique.
Xuan Li was stupefied upon hearing this voice before reacting in surprise and looking to her side.
"Ancestor!" Xuan Li exclaimed somewhat surprised to see Ling Tian appear beside her still carrying Lang Qingzu in his arms before lowering her head gloomily. She knew she had failed the test by having Ling Tian rescue her.
"I told you that this would be a test for you and that you could use everything in your power to fight, which meant that you could also ask me for help and not try to do everything by yourself and fight to the extreme."
Ling Tian looked at her with a mild smile, showing no trace of disappointment or anger. He understood Xuan Li's situation perfectly, and was even satisfied with her performance. Anyone else would have refused or requested to change the test, and might not even last long resisting like Xuan Li.
Instead, Xuan Li did not object despite knowing that she had not reached her peak and had the instability of her newly ascended cultivation base against her, as well as the lack of understanding of her current strength and Nascent Soul realm related attack skills or techniques.
"And don't worry, it's okay, you've passed the test." Ling Tian smiled in satisfaction.
Ling Tian was not going to judge her let alone show disappointment to Xuan Li, after all, Xuan Li is still a little girl who will soon be a little young woman growing up. Ling Tian just wants Xuan Li to understand that there will be times when she will be at a complete disadvantage and she has to fully analyze the situation and not take reckless actions that could cost her life, like what had just happened when she was facing these guys.
Even if Xuan Li had decided to run away, surrender or ask for her help from the beginning, Ling Tian would not mind and help her; there were many times in the past that he had to run away and escape in order to survive another day, not to mention the distrust, humiliation, disappointment and betrayal he suffered along the way.
Like Lang Qingzu, Xuan Li is also a little girl growing up, and if it were up to Ling Tian, he would not want to expose her to the coldness of the world and the cruel reality. But unfortunately this world is anything but perfect, where death, darkness, coldness, cruelty, ambition, betrayal and so on will always exist. The only thing Ling Tian could do was to help Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu prepare and make both girls aware of the reality of the world that awaited them.
Raising her head fearfully and with some expectation, Xuan Li watched Ling Tian's gentle smile and she could not help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart. What she feared greatly was to see the disappointed expression on Ling Tian after agreeing to her test, knowing that she would have disappointed the legendary ancestor of the sect, her grand master.
"Asking others for help is also okay, after all, you are not alone right now." Ling Tian smiled at Xuan Li again before looking at Wen Woo in the sky.
All this time, Wen Woo's expression became solemn and serious, watching Ling Tian every moment. He didn't know why, but his intuition alerted him to the fullest extent like never before when he thought of attacking this young man.
"Normally I am not interested in pursuing the matter of those who attack me, but when they try to harm my relative it is another matter. Especially if it's out of greed and cruelty."
Ling Tian's cold voice spread across the sky, instantly frightening Wen Woo as he turned around and wanted to escape. His body quickly seemed to become slightly blurry as he wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
Ling Tian's eyes flashed momentarily, when the next moment, Wen Woo, who was half a step away from escaping, froze in place unable to move. The terrified expression on his face was very evident.
"You thought you could easily escape after wanting to steal and kill my descendant?" Ling Tian had appeared in front of Wen Woo in the blink of an eye, still carrying the sleeping Lang Qingzu in his arms.
If it was earlier in the past, Ling Tian would kill this guy at once; after all, if you let someone free escape it could bring you trouble tomorrow and very dangerous trouble at that. But now, Ling Tian were not in the immortal world, he was also not afraid of the cultivators of this world; his goal was to restore his strength and only those true immortals who were hiding or very unknown could enter his eyes, like the being who had placed the formation in the void.
In addition, he had a sect and many descendants, so Ling Tian needed more cultivation resources, and what a good way to collect these various resources by charging interest to these guys for trying to attack him and his descendants. These guys' family should bleed a little to remove their anger for attacking Xuan Li, seeing that they have two Nascent Soul realm cultivators, it shouldn't be a small and simple family in the south state.
"Se-senior..." Wen Woo could barely stammer, feeling a powerful coercion suppressing his body completely, preventing him from moving a single finger and breathing with great difficulty.
Terror completely invaded Wen Woo, finding only one explanation: this young man clearly had a terrifying cultivation base in the Body Condensation realm!
Only those powerful Body Condensation realm experts could completely suppress him! He had already experienced it firsthand when he had encountered these horrifying monsters with terrifying strength in the past, much more than his small Nascent Soul stage cultivation. But fear came over him more, as Wen Woo could clearly see that this monster was clearly a simple young man in his mid-twenties, very young and different from those terrifying monsters that are such old men and have lived for hundreds of years!
How could such a terrifying young man be here in this remote place? Wen Woo was devastated and terrified, knowing that he had offended someone he shouldn't have, and would probably implicate the entire Wen Clan. And what caused the most irony, was that he had even ignored this guy when he arrived, thinking he was just another young man and didn't put anyone in his gaze.
This guy, so young yet terrifying, was most likely some very important core disciple from those holy lands of the north state!
As if sensing everything Wen Woo was thinking, Ling Tian grinned wickedly amused and said, "I think you must understand very well the saying that the King can be hurt, but never scorned or humiliated!"
Ling Tian's cold voice broke through all of Wen Woo's defenses, causing his body to tremble in panic.
"Fortunately, I'm not that kind of King who will mindlessly kill you, but I think you understand very well that what you have done is not easy to forget~" Ling Tian smirked and raised his hand at once, his fingertip firmly touching Wen Woo's forehead for a second before withdrawing it.
"Tell your entire clan that I'll be coming to visit them soon, and if they don't give me a good explanation, I wouldn't mind making their entire Wen Clan disappear from the south state forever!"
Ling Tian looked with cold indifference at Wen Woo before disappearing and appearing once more at Xuan Li's side.
Cold beads of sweat rolled down Wen Woo's temples, not realizing that the coercion that enveloped him had long since disappeared, but the fear at the sight of Ling Tian was still there. His gaze then shifted hesitantly to where Wen Ding stood.
"First elder! What's the matter? Why don't you kill that brat?!"
Unexpectedly, the voice of his young master, Wen Ming, shook Wen Woo's mind for a moment before terror threatened to envelop his body once again.
After seeing everything that was happening, Wen Ming could not understand how this powerful First Elder of his Clan had not taken some action, especially seeing Ling Tian approach him and then leave. The rage in Wen Ming was still burning inside him, waiting for Xuan Li to be on the verge of death so that he could take care of her and make her his slave.
"Young master, we must retreat... we can't afford to offend these people!"
Retrieving Wen Ding's unconscious body, Wen Woo approached Wen Ming and grabbed him with his other arm, wanting to quickly escape from the place. He didn't even wait for Wen Ming to say anything, for fear of angering that monstrous young man.
"F-first elder! How can we run away! We can't let them denigrate or humiliate the face of our Wen clan! What will they say once they find out we ran away from some teens?! You can kill that guy easily!"
Trying to free himself from Wen Woo's grip, Weng Ming struggled futilely, only to feel increasingly humiliated and filled with rage as he saw they were running away.
"Shut up!"
Without hesitation, for the first time, Wen Woo silenced Wen Ming with a solemn and somber expression. Although he was the first elder and did not share blood with the main family, he was treated as a member of them, therefore, he could not afford the death of this boy who was the son of the current patriarch who was like a blood brother to him.
Wen Woo could also feel that Ling Tian had done something to him, although he could not know what it was despite having checked his body several times. The thought that Ling Tian might follow him and know his location was becoming more and more certain and terrifying, alerting his survival instinct that he had developed over time, as if he had left a tracking mark on him.
Wen Ming could not help but fall silent as he heard Wen Woo's voice and then saw his expression that seemed to be trying to hide a terror in it. Wen Ming's unconscious but very badly injured body lay on the other side of Wen Woo, still not regaining consciousness.
His gaze turned to the distance from where they had been moments ago, his mind slowly clearing and wondering what had happened.
Xuan Li's beautiful and spectacular face could not help but keep constantly popping up in his mind.
A giant finger appeared and pierced the figure of the golden lion, making it instantly disappear as if it had never existed.
"Who?!" Wen Woo's intuition was heightened to the maximum as he saw that his soul attack had been wiped out and even a part of his consciousness sea was injured as he lost the connection of his attack technique.
