With the explosion of firecrackers, colorful fireworks bloomed in the air, bringing a scent of smoke to the morning air.

Ling Yingxi was wearing a brand new outfit, knocked on Ling Xi's door, and smiled and said to him: "Happy New Year, Ling Xi."

Ling Xi was still the same outfit as the Ling family disciple. She looked up and down at Ling Yingxi and said, "It looks pretty good."

Ling Yingxi shook the phoenix pattern on her sleeve proudly and said, "How is it? This is given to me by my sister, it's not bad."

"Sister, aren't you the only one in your family?" Ling Xi seemed a little confused.

"Actually, my father adopted an adopted daughter, but when I was very young, I was sent to the palace. I haven't met her a few times, but I just heard my father talk occasionally that she was doing well in the palace, and there were hundreds of servants alone."

"Oh." Ling Xi responded, and did not continue to ask.

Ling Yingxi took his hand and was about to walk to one place: "It's the first time you celebrate the New Year. I'll take you to worship God."

She took Ling Xi to a large mansion. The servants were busy with lights and decorating. When they saw the two of them, they greeted each other respectfully: "Miss Ling Yingxi, Master Ling Xi."

Ling Yingxi took Ling Xi to a statue and said to him: "Put the incense stick. The Lord of Heaven and Earth will bless you."

The statue of the god is about eight feet tall, holding the Yin-Yang Sword in one hand and a book in the other hand; wearing armor and scales, and stepping on the six gods, majestic.

Ling Xi looked at the book on the statue of the god and asked, "What is that book?"

"Book?" Ling Yingxi also looked at the book held by the statue in confusion, and asked an old servant beside her, "What is that book?"

The old servant immediately replied, "The Lord of Heaven and Earth has a history. It is said that 30,000 years ago, the heaven and earth were divided into turbid yin and yang. The world was either bright sun and drought, or the night was lonely and cold. Once the one who attained enlightenment and became a god, he used the sword in his hand to divide the Yin and Yang, and cut the sun and the moon, and was named the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Later, the Lord of Heaven and Earth borrowed the fragments of the vast sutra from the Wuliang Heaven and Earth, and drew all the fates of the world. Unfortunately, the Lord of Heaven and Earth disappeared afterwards and no more figures appeared in the world."

"The vast sutra?" Ling Xi's heart moved, and before he could ask.

The old servant thought he had opened up the conversation and pointed at the six gods at the feet of the statue and said, "Miss, these six gods represent six peerless monsters. When the Venerable of Heaven and Earth suppressed the rebellion of the six monsters, turned them into six directions, guarding different places respectively. The upper part of the dragon is breathing, the lower part of the demon is merciful; the left tomb tower is and the right to the mysterious bird; the front is ecstatic, the back is humble."

"Who is Wuliang Tianzun?" Ling Xi asked.

The old servant shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I have lived for so long and have only seen this record about the Infinite Heavenly Venerable in the myth of Heavenly Venerable. I believe it is also a God-seeker at the same level as Heavenly Venerable."

Ling Xi asked unwillingly: "Where has the fragments of the vast sutra gone?"

"It seems like there is a sentence about this." The old servant thought carefully: "The vast earth, nine generations of reincarnation. There is only one sentence, and I don't know what it refers to."

"You are very interested in the Wuliang Heavenly Lord." Ling Yingxi said to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi looked at the statue of the god in front of him: "It's just curious."

Ling Yingxi walked to the statue, lit three sandalwoods, closed her eyes and prayed devoutly.

She inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner, took a step back and said, "Ling Xi, don't you offer sacrifices?"

"No." Ling Xi shook his head and said, "I don't believe this thing. Since he said he had lost all the fate of the world, what's the difference between believing it or not."

Outside Haoxi City, a powerful cavalry team slowly approached.

They all wore face-covered helmets, and the enemy blood stained on their armor and weapons had not been wiped clean, and they were full of murderous aura.

The soldiers guarding the city could feel a sense of depression from afar. The cavalry in front of them seemed to come from the underworld, and it was a scary look at it.

A man in general's uniform on the front of the city shouted in panic: "It's a ghost soldier! The general of Zhenguo is back. Go and inform the emperor and open the city gate."

The city gate was wide open, allowing the ghost soldiers to enter the city.

Pedestrians on both sides of the road hid in the shop, and a child fell to the ground in a hurry and started crying.

The leading ghost soldiers turned their eyes and turned to the child.

The child was so scared that he dared not continue to cry, but he couldn't stop sobbing.

A woman quickly picked up the child and hid in the shop.

"The General Zhenguo is back, and these ghost soldiers are really crazy."

"The ghost soldiers are well-known. They are the only army that can fight the border. They are legendary eating human flesh and drinking human blood. They are ghost soldiers borrowed from the general's underworld. I remember that once they were trapped, they fought for three months, and had broken limbs and broken arms on their bodies to kill the enemy's morale collapse and they ran away when they saw them. Think about it, can this kind of army be powerful?"

The team of ghost soldiers walked straight through the street and came to Lingyun Mansion.

The senior executives of the Ling family had already been waiting in front of the main gate. The leader flipped off the horse's back, took off his helmet and breathed out, saying, "Brother, third brother, have there been any major issues in the Ling family recently?"

Ling Yuhong said with an ugly expression: "Bu Chi is dead."

The man paused, and his aura suddenly emanated: "Who did it?"

"Suicide. He made a life-and-death case with one of the Ling family. He duels at the Tianfentai, and he was beaten to death by only one right arm."

Ling Yucheng snorted coldly: "When will my Ling family allow internal fighting? What's the name of that person?"

"That person is Ling Xi." Ling Li stood up and said, "Bu Chi was wrong first." As he said that, he told the whole story.

Ling Yucheng looked at Ling Yuhong and said, "Brother, how did you cultivate such a scum? It's simply thrown into the face of my Ling family's direct descendant."

"Ling Xi has killed Wang Lizhe, the first successor of the Wang family, and is now the top leader of our new generation of Ling family." Ling Li continued.

"Oh? Can he kill Wang Lizhe? It's good to have this talent for a foreigner. He is so sharp. You are really useless. Let a foreigner surpass you."

Ling Li lowered his head and said, "Uncle, Ling Xi's talent is not too high. He is only at the seventh stage of Mozhi. However... it is a dual cultivation of Yuanyi. What makes him great is his fighting skills. With the strength of Mozhi's seventh stage, he killed Wang Lizhe who had already cultivated the spirit for a while without any injury."

"Ha, fighting skills, what's the use? You said Lin Yingxi was very close to him, so let him talk to me. I want to see how rampant this kid can be."

"yes."

Ling Xi was a little uneasy. After all, it was the first time he saw Ling Yingxi's father. He pushed open the door and there was a man in armor sitting in the lobby.

Ling Yucheng said to Ling Xi with a stern face: "You are Ling Xi?"

Ling Xi bowed and said, "Yes."

"What's going on with you and Ling Yingxi?" Ling Yucheng asked bluntly.

Ling Xi also said frankly: "Ling Yingxi and I have met since childhood and are childhood sweethearts. When we arrive, we will definitely marry the Ming media."

Ling Yucheng sneered: "Why are you?"

Ling Xi's heart tightened.

"Do you think that if you are outstanding among the few of them, you are qualified to marry Ling Yingxi? You are just a person with a foreign surname, without background, status, and power. What qualifications do you have to marry her?"

Ling Xi clenched his fists and whispered: "I will have all the things you said in the future."

"I don't care if you have it. I am the general of the country, the head of the Lingyun Mansion, and the queen are all my adopted daughters. Nearly half of the ministers in the court are my people. What can you take to make me look at? What qualifications do you have to marry Yingxi?"

"Even so, I will not give up." Ling Xiran stood there and insisted.

Ling Yucheng snorted coldly, and endless murderous aura erupted from his body towards Ling Xi.

Ling Xi gritted his teeth and held on his face, and the sweat dripped down his face, but he never knelt down.

"I don't even need to kill you. You are a foreigner. But I'll give you a chance. In the Tianshi Tournament six years later, if you can surpass the second prince and become the first person in the new generation of the Tianwu Empire, I will allow you to marry Ling Yingxi. In these six years, you are not allowed to talk to Ling Yingxi again, otherwise I will deprive your martial arts and execute you on the Tianfen platform if you violate the agreement. If you can be the first person, you can naturally marry Ling Yingxi again. If you can't do it, it will make Ling Yingxi forget you."

Ling Yucheng withdrew his murderous aura. Ling Xi felt relieved and looked at Ling Yucheng with panting.

I don’t know how many people Ling Yucheng has killed, but the murderous aura in his body has condensed into substance and can be easily restrained and released.

Ling Xi pushed the door open and walked out. Ling Yingxi was about to ask, but Ling Xi glanced at her and immediately made her stunned. The look was exactly the same as before, cold and strange, as if she was looking at a person she had no acquaintance.

Ling Yingxi pushed the door in anger and asked Ling Yucheng: "What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything." Ling Yucheng had no intention of admitting it at all, leaned on the chair and took a sip of tea.

Ling Yingxi stepped forward and snatched the tea from his hand, threw it on the table and said, "Then why did he become like this?"

Ling Yucheng became serious and said with a stern face: "Don't meddle in other people's business at your daughter's house, go back to your own house."

Ling Yingxi was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something. Ling Yucheng shouted: "Go back!"

Ling Yingxi turned around and walked out of the house and quickly walked towards her courtyard.

Ling Xi came to Ling Xiaozhi's yard, and he was drinking wine alone. Ling Xi grabbed his wine pot and said to him: "I have something to tell you."

Ling Xiaojie stood up and said, "What's the matter? I know that the head of the family is back today. Have you talked to him?"

Ling Xi nodded and threw the wine pot aside casually and said, "He told me that I must surpass the second prince before I can marry Yingxi."

"So, what are you going to do?" Ling Xiaozhu asked. Although he is not very reliable in normal times, he will never lose his links at critical moments.

"I plan to go out for a walk, and it's too slow to improve my strength here."

"I'll go with you too." Ling Xiaojie stood up from the chair and said, "There's no way, you just don't feel relieved. Who knows what trouble you will make when you go out alone? Or I'll feel relieved when I look at you."

A smile appeared on Ling Xi's lips and said, "Okay, you pay for the travel expenses, I have no money anyway."

"I don't have it either, I'm just using it all for drinking. Can't you borrow some from Ling Yingxi?"

Ling Xi shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll find a way myself."

Zhenxiaojian, Ling Xi walked in without any obstruction, took out a letter and said to Ling Li: "You will give this letter to Ling Yingxi on my behalf."

Ling Li looked up at Ling Xi, looked at him and said, "You want to go out?"

Ling Xi put the letter on the table, responded and turned around and left.

Ling Li took out a stack of silver notes from the drawer, threw them to Ling Xi and said, "Take it."

Ling Xi took the purse and said, "Thank you."

Ling Li closed the drawer expressionlessly: "I'm just a routine, and I still have to pay the travel fee for the Ling family disciples who go out."

Ling Xi didn't say much and walked out of Zhenxiaojian.
