Therefore, when he was leaving the clamorous square, he had tied a strand of his soul onto Yu Wu Xiu in order to find that woman.
He had just arrived at the little motel Yu Wu Xiu was staying at.
"There are two things I am still not sure about from that year. First of all, how did Bai Xiao Qi and them hear about the news. Second of all, who spread the news about the Soaring Key."
Peering at these three buildings, Ling Xian squinted his eyes, "Yu Wu Xiu, it better not be you. If it were you, then don't blame me for snapping the stem of the flower."
Then, in the blink of an eye, he broke through the window and arrived inside Yu Wu Xiu's room.
When he entered, the lady was sitting before her dressing table. She was staring into her beautiful reflection. Other than self-satisfaction on her face, there was also a trace of sadness.
Of course, she was satisfied with herself. Her face has turned her into countless men's dream G.o.ddess and gained her the crown of the G.o.ddess of Flowers. But at the same time, a beautiful woman without some capabilities has a fate that is easily predictable – she will only become a plaything for people of importance.
This was probably why she was willing to ignore everything to climb up to the top.
After she saw Ling Xian's face through the mirror, the sullen expression of hers immediately turned into shock. It was like she had seen a ghost!
"You… you didn't die?"
Yu Wu Xiu shot out of her chair. She subconsciously backed into the corner of the room and stared at Ling Xian with astonishment.
"Sorry to disappoint you." Ling Xian's expression was calm. There was no energy in his eyes as he looked at her like he was looking at any stranger.
Yu Wu Xiu's eyes were full of shock as she forced herself to calm down. She then mumbled, "No, that's not right. The seal inside my body has disappeared, which means you have died once. Then the you right now… revived from the dead?"
As she spoke her last sentence, her voice quivered. Because that guess would be too unbelievable!
Reviving from the dead!
That was something that's harder than climbing the heavens!
Yet Ling Xian's flowing blood could not be fake. This meant he had truly defied heaven and revived.
The dominator had returned!
"You guessed it."
After Lin Qing Yi and everyone risked their lives to save him, he had realized the type of people who deserve his love. Women like Yu Wu Xiu did not deserve any sort of emotions from him.
Therefore, he faced her with much coldness and got straight to the point, "I don't want to waste time. I just want to ask you one question. Ten years ago, were you the one who pa.s.sed around the news about the Soaring Key?"
Hearing this, Yu Wu Xiu was a little surprised. However, her expression remained natural and didn't appear fake. Then, she shook her head steadily and surely, "No."
"You are certain?"
Ling Xian glared at her and then instantly reappeared behind her. His long fingers softly landed against her throat.
"If you dare to tell me a lie, my hand will crush your throat."
After hearing that, Yu Wu Xiu jolted like thunder had struck her and her body couldn't help but to shake. She could hear the seriousness in Ling Xian's voice and she definitely could feel the cold killer's intent off of him.
However, she was not hiding anything.
Therefore, Yu Wu Xiu calmed the fear in her heart and said, "Ling Xian, it really wasn't me who did that. Back then, I had no idea you stole the Soaring Key."
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned slightly. His soul hovered over Yu Wu Xiu. If she lied, he for sure would sense something unusual.
But he couldn't detect anything. In other words, she wasn't lying. But if it wasn't her, then who was it?
The entire situation with the Soaring Key was only known by a select few. The upper management of the Shang Qing Sect would not be dumb enough to pa.s.s the news around Yuezhou.
"Interesting."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and strangely felt the unusualness in all this. It felt like there was a hand in the shadow behind his back, controlling everything.
This made him shudder. Even with his mentality, he couldn't help but shudder coldly.
"Is the rumor about the Soaring Key real or false? Does the gate to the immortal world really exist? Who was the one that spread the news about me getting the Soaring Key…"
Strangely, Ling Xian thought of these few things and felt that there was a connection between them. But he couldn't really place his finger on it.
This made him frown and he murmured, "This is eerie."
Then, he let go of Yu Wu Xiu's throat and backed up three steps.
Since he was already certain that this woman didn't spread the news about all this, then there would be no need for him to kill her.
"Ehem, ehem, you believe me now?"
Yu Wu Xiu coughed twice. Then, joy from having survived that filled her face. She was truly afraid that Ling Xian would be ruthless and kill her here.
Ling Xian glared at her, "I am not killing you today and I will not set any inhibition. You better behave."
"What do you mean behave?"
Yu Wu Xiu had a cold snicker on her lips, "Not stealing anyone's talent is behaving?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and didn't say much more.
He knew what Yu Wu Xiu wanted and knew her sadness. From her point of view, for the Path of Endeavors, it wasn't wrong for her to steal talent.
But, is having talent alone enough to walk the Path of Endeavors? That is not true. While talent is important, without a steady and determined heart, the most talented man cannot defeat all enemies.
The heart required to walk the path is something Ling Xian had. Or else he would not have survived until today no matter how talented he was.
Don't forget, he was a person the G.o.ds did not tolerate. Every step forward was considered defying heaven's orders. Without resolve and determination, he never could've broken the seals inside himself, let alone work upwards.
Though Yu Wu Xiu had a very clear goal – to get to the peak, she was miles away.
Therefore, Ling Xian was far too lazy to waste time with Yu Wu Xiu. Instead, he left the motel.
Now, he had no more ties with this woman. The next time they meet, he will truly treat her like a stranger.
After Ling Xian left the motel, he began to suspend in midair and gazed afar towards Yunzhou.
His anger had all depleted and the seven Sects and 18 Houses have yielded to him. This means everything regarding this rivalry has ended. At the same time, he has gotten the Holy Spirit Water. Though he couldn't find the culprit, he has now ruled out the person he was most suspicious about.
Therefore, his journey in Yuezhou was complete. It was time to return to his homeland.
"I wonder if they are well after all these years."
Remembering all his family and friends in Yunzhou, Ling Xian couldn't help but smile. But when he remembered his enemies, his expression turned cold.
He so clearly remembers how the three foreign kinds back then sent soldiers to the Wan Jian House, forcing him to cut his ties with the House and made him leave home.

He had to avenge himself!
Therefore, Ling Xian made up his mind. After he returns to Yunzhou, he will find them all and avenge his past!
"Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, three foreign kinds… just you wait."
Looking into the southwest, Ling Xian squinted and he blinked with cold killer's intent.
"Very quickly, I will return. Are you ready?"
Just then, he tore the s.p.a.ce before him and using the fastest speed his physical body was capable of, he headed towards Yunzhou.
…
Half a year later, Ling Xian arrived before a thousand miles tall mountain peak.
This mountain peak was oozing with spiritual energy and looked like a sword that was stabbed into the clouds. No matter how much wind blew and how much rain fell, the sword remained immobile.
It was one of the nine Houses, the Wan Jian House.
"I have finally returned. I wonder if everyone in the Wan Jian House would still welcome a traitor like me?"
Staring at the grand mountain peak, Ling Xian revealed a soft smile that was full of warmth.
