Within the secret chamber, the enchanting atmosphere grew even denser. The healing was complete. Liu Lian, with her hands clasped in front of her, appeared quite charming. Ling Xiao, having emerged from his ethereal state, couldn't help but feel a spark of mortal affection upon witnessing the scene. Though Liu Lian's appearance couldn't match that of Ji Luoyu and others, she was a gentle lass, evoking a protective desire in men. He chuckled lightly, casting aside inappropriate thoughts, and said with the Tai Chi Stone in hand, "Miss, you should change your clothes first. I'll wait for you outside the secret chamber." After speaking, Ling Xiao walked towards the door. At seventeen, during adolescence, one is naturally curious and sensitive about matters between men and women. Ling Xiao genuinely feared losing control and committing a mistake. He was overbearing in manner but always adhered to his principles, never acting recklessly. "Young Master Ling, thank you. I still don't know how to address you properly?" Liu Lian blushed, her face adorned with shyness, like a budding beauty. Her heart throbbed wildly. For the first time, she'd been so candid with a man. "From the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, Ling Xiao!" Ling Xiao replied, his back turned. Upon finishing, Ling Xiao stepped out of the secret chamber's door. The moment he stepped out, Ling Xiao sensed two eerie chills attacking from both sides. Blades glittered, aiming directly at his vital points, clearly intending to kill him. Ling Xiao had endured before because no attack was launched, but now, regardless of who it was, he wouldn't tolerate it any longer. Without making any motion, the two martial artists aiming to kill him died mid-air. Outside the cold secret chamber, only sinister shadows flickered by. "Two Yin-Yang Realm Fourth Level weaklings attempting to assassinate me? Does your Willis Clan's Grand Elder underestimate me that much?" Ling Xiao initially planned to leave immediately, having secured the Tai Chi Stone and trapped the Tianmo Insect Gu within the Mountain and River World. Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Staying here no longer served any purpose for him. Yet now, he suddenly decided he didn't want to leave. He had been aroused to kill. At this moment, Liu Lian stepped out from the secret chamber, her charming face showed signs of shock. Clearly, the bodies on the ground had her somewhat out of control. She had dressed up with care, intended for Ling Xiao to see. However, at present, she wasn't in the mood for that. "Young Master Ling, you should leave quickly. I know our Willis Clan is in the wrong, but you're no match for the Grand Elder. He won't let this slide after you killing his men." Liu Lian felt her heart had already been captured by this man. At one moment, she even thought she could forsake everything for him. Emotions are indeed strange, coming inexplicably. Probably because of that enchanting treatment. "Let's go to the main hall together." Ling Xiao's voice was gentle: "You are healed now, such good news should naturally be shared with your father." "Young Master Ling, you!" Liu Lian truly couldn't fathom how Ling Xiao could remain so calm. "If I tell you that destroying your Willis Clan merely requires a flip of my hand, would you believe me?" Ling Xiao coolly stated: "Miss Liu, you are kind and tenacious; your future is limitless. Your father is commendable too; hence your Willis Clan should hold a promising future. However, that Grand Elder is a parasite in your family; if he doesn't die, your family may have no future." "What does Young Master Ling mean by this?" "The meaning is simple: I'll kill him for you, and you give me another Tai Chi Stone or something equivalent." "I truly only have one Tai Chi Stone, but I do have something of equivalent value. But are you really a match for the Grand Elder?" Liu Lian found it hard to believe. Ling Xiao didn't bother to explain further. Instead, he quickly grabbed Liu Lian by the waist and carried her at lightning speed towards the main hall. At this moment, within the main hall, Lord Liu was evidently beginning to feel anxious. After all, too much time had elapsed, and he was entirely in the dark about what had transpired inside the secret chamber. The situation left him very uneasy. "Heh, knowing this would happen, why the hesitation in the first place? If you're this anxious, why not go check the secret chamber together?" The Grand Elder taunted. Just as Lord Liu was about to say something, a gust of wind suddenly swept in from outside the door. A figure halted in the main hall, holding a beautifully adorned yet pure-looking beauty, Liu Lian. This sight made Sun Wu Ji's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. Even Lord Liu didn't look too pleased. His daughter had never been touched by any other man, and now she was in the arms of a stranger. How could he possibly be pleased? "Young Master Ling, shouldn't you offer me an explanation?" Lord Liu asked, restraining his anger. "Father, don't be angry. I just healed and felt a little weak, so Young Master Ling carried me over without doing anything inappropriate." Liu Lian quickly explained. Unlike ordinary women, people from the Jianghu wouldn't make a big deal of being carried in special circumstances. Hearing this, Lord Liu was stunned, unable to react for a long while. "Father, are you listening?" By now, Ling Xiao had placed Liu Lian down, and she approached Lord Liu, speaking again to wake him from his shock. "Sweet daughter, you just said the Tianmo Insect Gu inside you was expelled?" Lord Liu asked again, thinking he had misheard earlier. The three elders were equally incredulous, standing there without comprehending what had happened until now. That Tianmo Insect Gu, which even the Little Dot from the Seven Little Saints couldn't handle, had been resolved by this unknown lad? Lord Liu quickly placed a hand on Liu Lian's, infusing primordial power into it. Moments later, his face displayed overwhelming joy. Aside from some weakness, Liu Lian was completely free of the Tianmo Insect Gu and bore no trace of demonic qi in her. It was simply miraculous! What was even more astonishing was that the cultivation level devoured by the Tianmo Insect Gu was now being released. He could feel that even without cultivation, his daughter's cultivation level was continuously rising. It was truly incredible. "A great favor rather than thanks; if Young Master Ling needs anything, speak up. I, Lord Liu, would wade through fire and water without hesitation!" Lord Liu was indeed a genuinely concerned father. He didn't inquire how Ling Xiao managed such a feat, knowing full well that extraordinary figures have their quirks, and it wouldn't do to offend him. Now that his daughter was healed, with her cultivation level recovering, what more could he ask for? Though he was deeply satisfied, someone else was utterly dissatisfied. The Grand Elder, having recovered from his shock, gave Ling Xiao a cold glance and suddenly sneered, "Well, young man, you've achieved your goal now, haven't you?"
