“Now, can you cancel the arranged marriage?”

Ling Xian’s face was expressionless and his eyes were cold.

This petrified Clan Leader Wang and he acted as if he was struck by lightning. His face was red and puffy as he nodded with difficulty to imply that he agrees to end the arranged marriage.

After that short rebuttal, he has now completely understood that, not just him, but the entire Wang Clan cannot afford to provoke this young man.

Therefore, he could only let him win and he had to agree to his requests.

“Very well.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He swung his right arm and Clan Leader Wang was flung out. He collapsed onto the ground and begun to puke blood.

His eyes were full of fear.

The other members of the Wang Clan reacted the same. They didn’t expect such an aggressive character to appear.

“Remember, don’t cause the Wang Clan trouble. Know that I don’t mind if I get blood on my hands.”

Ling Xian spoke softly and he glanced coldly across the hallway before locking eyes with Leader Wang, “Now, get the f!ck out.”

After he spoke, Clan Leader Wang’s body shivered and he nodded in a hurry, “Yes, yes I will go away now. I will go away.”

Then, he scrambled his way up with difficulty and headed to the door.

Everyone in the Wang Clan felt the same. They all had much fear and were running away like crazy. Their fatigued stance looked drastically different than the arrogant and proud expressions they had on before. The Wen Clan cheered loudly.

“Haha, that was so satisfying! I haven’t thought highly of those scums for so long. What kind of people are they!”

“Yeah, now that they are running away like sons of b!tches, the anger in me is finally diffusing.”

“Haha, this is all thanks to this young man. If he didn’t help, how could we have gotten this?”

The Wen Clan members all chimed in. Their words were of pure joy and excitement. Then, they looked at Ling Xian with respect and thankfulness.

The Wang Clan took advantage of a bad situation and not only did they want to force Ru Yu to marry, they threatened to get the Tree of the Warming Soul. To the Wen Clan, that was humiliating. Then, Leader Wang laughed at them and refused to send soldiers. That was also humiliating.

This made the entire Wen Clan angry on the inside. But they could not say anything. And now, Ling Xian had attacked violently and taught them a harsh lesson, lessening their rage.

Therefore, why wouldn’t they be thankful towards Ling Xian?

“Dare I ask what your surname is? As the Clan Leader of the Wen Clan, we want to thank you for helping us out.”

The Wen Clan Leader hurriedly rushed over to Ling Xian and bowed down deeply. His face was heavy with appreciation.

“There is no need to thank me.”

Ling Xian waved around his hand, “I am doing this for Ru Yu anyway.”

Hearing this, The Wen Clan Leader gave Ru Yu an apologetic and guilty look. He had guessed that Ling Xian helped out because this whole thing is related to his daughter. But it wasn’t the time to ask for the details.

“No matter what, you helped us relieve our anger. I have to thank you.” The Wen Clan Leader shot Ling Xian a look but didn’t speak anymore.

Sensing the unusualness from him, Ling Xian grinned, “Please do speak of whatever is on your mind.”

“Aye, though you helped us get revenge, but the moment you leave, the Wang Clan will return.” The Wen Clan Leader sighed, there was some sorrow on his face.

At those words, everyone from the Wen Clan erased their smiles and turned worried.

That was obvious. For as long as Ling Xian is here, the Wang Clan wouldn’t dare to come and anger him. But the moment he leaves, the Wang Clan would return and avenge themselves for what happened here today.

If this was before, then they wouldn’t be scared of the Wang Clan, but today, the were in the middle of going against a capable opponent. It wasn’t for certain if they were going to make it through their crisis.

This is why they were so worried.

Ling Xian thought of this as well. The reason why he didn’t kill Clan Leader Wang to get rid of the Wen Clan’s worry was for one, because he only agreed to stop the wedding, and for two, he had his own selfish reason.

He had heard the conversation between Clan Leader Wang and Clan leader Wen. In other words, he had heard about the Tree of the Warming Soul.

Why the Tree of the Warming Soul?

Don’t forget, one of the five heavenly objects for a calm soul was the Wood of the Warming Soul. That was one of the treasures Ling Xian must acquire.

He never forgot that if he wants the soul of the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals to be truly immortal, he needed these five treasures. Only so, can the immortal be imperishable and be reborn.

Therefore, when Ling Xian heard the words “Tree of the Warming Soul”, his heart wavered.

That is the tree!

Its entire body have effects to warm the soul. Randomly taking a piece of it would suffice as the Wood of the Warming Soul. If he can get this Tree of the Warming Soul, he would no longer be troubled by not having the Wood of the Warming Soul and he can finally focus on the other three items.

Therefore, why wouldn’t his heart waver?

“No need to worry, Clan Leader Wen, I will stay here for a short period of time. As long as Leader Wen does not bother me, it’ll be okay.” Ling Xian smiled and waved his hand.

Hearing this, the Wen Clan rejoiced. Their eyes flashed with happiness.

To be able to host Ling Xian, someone who can hold up the sky, was an enormous honor. Why wouldn’t they be overjoyed?

The Wen Clan Leader in particular, was over the moon and smiled. “Young master, you are joking with us. For you to be able to visit the Wen Clan is already fortune that we earned from doing good in our past few lives. Why would we complain?”

“Then all is well.”

Ling Xian softly grinned and somewhat nonchalantly asked, “Right, I heard just now that you seem to have the Tree of the Warming Soul.”

At the mention of this, the Wen Clan Leader was a little startled but then smiled, “That’s right. We do have a Tree of the Warming Soul. It is a heavenly gift left by our ancestors.”

“What a great fortune it is to have such a treasure.”

After getting the Clan Leader’s affirmation, Ling Xian smiled brightly, silently thinking it was a good thing he agreed to help Wen Ru Yu. If he didn’t, he never would’ve gotten news about this Tree.

“Fortune?”

The Clan Leader bitterly laughed and then sighed, “That’s not completely the case. It’s not necessarily a fortune, but somewhat a misfortune.”

“Why would you say that?” Ling Xian frowned.

“First of all, the Tree of the Warming Soul has been dried up for hundreds of years. No matter how we try to tend it, they cannot be revived.” The Wen Clan Leader’s brows were tightly locked together and his sorrow returned.

“Dried up?”

Ling Xian frowned as well. Though a dried up tree does not necessarily mean death, for a Tree of the Warming Soul to revive was a task with great difficulty.

“Yes, it’s been dried up for hundreds of years.”

The Wen Clan Leader sighed. “Second of all, since you have heard about the Tree of the Warming Soul, you’ve also heard about my Clan’s troubles?”

“That’s right.”

Ling Xian nodded and his mind worked like electricity. He realized something and frowned, “Could it be... it is related to the Tree of the Warming Soul?”

“That’s correct.”

The Wen Clan Leader sighed deeply, “The enemy we are against is the Court of Thunder. It is a very famous force in the Northern Desert. Their goal is to get the Tree of the Warming Soul. Of course, other than the Tree, they want another treasure from my Clan which is not at my convenience to reveal.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. He didn’t think this whole thing would be so troublesome.

When he originally arrived in Tianzhou, he wasn’t willing to make enemies. Yet he had to lend a helping hand again.

The Tree of the Warming Soul was a real treasure. In the entire world, there were so few of them. Even if this one is a dried up one, he cannot give it up.
