It was night time . The setting Sun was spreading down soft red light that was incomparably beautiful .

On top of a mile tall mountain, Ling Xian's brows were tightly fused together and was looking extremely sorrowful .

Because as he began his journey towards the location of the treasure, he heard terrible news .

The hidden fortune from the ancient times had revealed itself and was discovered by a young descendant . Then, within 30 minutes, the news traveled all over the Shang Qing Sect .

In other words, Ling Xian was one step behind .

By now, intense protection had been set around the ancient fortune . In other words, even a fly cannot reach it right now, let alone a human .

This means his entire plan has been jumbled . Originally, he planned on being at the location and sneak the fortune away the moment the ruins reveal itself .

But now, his plan no longer worked . Other than fighting against the Shang Qing Sect head on and get the fortune with force, there was no other way .

Of course, he could choose to give up . But, how could he give up now?

"Aye, is this G.o.d's orders?"

Ling Xian stood on top of the mountain peak and sighed as he bathed in the soft red light .

The ruin has reappeared and the upper management of the Shang Qing Sect has locked it down . This means if he doesn't give up, he will have to declare war . There was no other way .

And declaring war means death .

Yes, though the array of the Shang Qing Sect owes him a favor and will try to help him; though Hong Yan Jun Zhu and the demon were both strong; these powers, when compared to the Shang Qing Sect, were without a doubt, tiny .

If, say, Ling Xian attempts to escape after acquiring the fortune, then he may have some chances of surviving . But if he declare war head on, other than dying, there was no other possibility .

What could he do? The Shang Qing Sect was far too capable . Even if he had two fifth level powerhouses, he had no way of winning . Plus, the Shang Qing Sect's array may not even help him .

After all, The array was the protector of the Shang Qing Sect . Though it owed Ling Xian greatly, it may not be able to help him with this .

In other words, this was the worst possible outcome . This entire situation unfavored him greatly!

"I cannot believe I am one step too late . Great . Now I have no path to take . "

Ling Xian sighed a long sigh . Though he hasn't done anything to exhaust himself, fatigue was written all over his face .

"That fortune concerns the future . I cannot give up . But now that the ruin has reappeared, even if I take the largest risk, I may not be able to stealthily steal it . "

Bitterly laughing, Ling Xian's expression deepened with worry . He truly did not expect the situation to unfold in such a manner .

The sudden appearance of the ruin not only disrupted his entire plan, it had threatened him to the edge of the cliff .


If he steps forward one step, he will fall into abyss . If steps backward one step, then he gets to enjoy the limitless of the sky .

It may appear that the right option is crystal clear and that even an idiot would choose to step backward one step . But if you step back and the sky turns completely black, then would you still choose to do that?

Perhaps others would . But Ling Xian wouldn't .

No matter how difficult it is to walk on the path to greatness, he will not retreat!

"I can't turn back . This concerns the future and concerns whether or not I can reach the peak . "

Ling Xian's expression turned serious . "However, I cannot just face on go against the Shang Qing Sect . Because that would kill me . I just don't know how to approach this anymore . "

He sighed again, his brows tightened even more .

To know that one would die and still run up there isn't courage, and it isn't stubbornness, it's utter stupidity . This was why he wasn't going to fight the Shang Qing Sect head on . At least not now .

"What a headache . I cannot think of a solution . "

Bitterly laughing, Ling Xian realized he doesn't even have the slightest idea of what to do next . This overwhelmed him and he mumbled, "Is it possible that I have to give up the fortune?"

After he spoke, he exclaimed deeply and his face was full of bitterness .

If he really has no way, then he will have to retreat for now . If he fight head on right now, he will lose his life in the Shang Qing Sect .

"Based on the current situation . I will have to act when the opportunity presents itself . "

Ling Xian softly sighed . It wasn't that he hasn't thought of his connection with Yu Wu Xiu, it was that he rejected that idea pretty fast .

It would be useless . Yu Wu Xiu's status isn't that high . Though the Supreme Headmaster and them are respectable towards her, they would only let her win on the small things . For something as large as ancient ruins… there was no way she had a say .

This was why Ling Xian was reacting so helplessly . He was pretty much desperate .

Because all the ways he could think of were a no go . In other words, other than giving up, there was no other path for him .

"I really don't want this to go this way . For that fortune, I gave up my real name and entered the Shang Qing Sect . I cannot believe it was all for nothing . "

Ling Xian sighed a long sigh, his face was full of fatigue .

It was rare for him to react this way . Therefore, it was obvious that he was truly out of options .

"Maybe such is my fate . The situation cannot get worse . Other than giving up, I really have no other options . "

Ling Xian looked extremely tired as he stood up on the top the mountain peak like a statue .

Only after a while, did he recollect himself . But his pair of black eyes had lost their usual color .

"Oh well, maybe I should observe for a while . If I truly cannot find a way, then I will have to give up . " Ling Xian softly sighed . Then, he summoned his wings and flew towards the Mission Hall .

Since that fortune cannot be retrieved right now, then he must focus on his other goal .

Therefore, he decided to take his time observing the ancient ruins while doing some missions to earn contribution points .

After some time, he arrived at the Mission Hall . But the moment he marched in, he was greeted with everyone's howl .

What could he do? He was far too popular .

A multi-talented master in both arrays and crafts… a Heaven's Favorite who won the victory t.i.tle under all four paths… all of his achievements were deeply remembered by everyone . Especially since the achiever of the two were the same person, the impact he has on people was powerful .

This was why when someone pointed out Ling Xian, the entire hall erupted .

All gazes were now on him . There was shock, admiration, and respect .

But Ling Xian was not in the mood to pay attention to them . He walked straight up to the second floor and entered a room .

Then, he began a new round of finis.h.i.+ng missions in a crazy manner . Everyone inside the hall began a new round of being astounded .

However, there was only one thing inside Ling Xian's brain – how can he get that fortune?

Just like that, one day pa.s.sed by, two days pa.s.sed by, then 10 days pa.s.sed by… he still had no clue .

This darkened his gaze and several strands of grey hair showed up on his head .

To know that there was no physical change to him when he was stripped away of 50 years of lifespan, yet now, he was so troubled his hair turned grey . What did this indicate?

It meant he was hopeless! He was helpless!

"Could it be that I really have no way out of this?"

Ling Xian's face turned pale and tired . His eyes lost their color and his entire being reacted as if he had fallen into a deep abyss with no trace of light in sight .
