The Way of The Dao



Ling Tian's figure stood still, as did Man Chong's fierce and cruel expression as he looked into his eyes. Both of their eyes became slightly empty, especially Man Chong's. But Ling Tian's gaze remained indifferent, as if he was still present.

"Big brother!"

Xue Ning became worried when she realized that they were now about to battle through soul forces and Man Chong's soul had entered Ling Tian's Consciousness Sea!

If they rushed in wanting to help, it could turn out the worst and disturb Ling Tian's consciousness!

Lu Wuhu's face became dignified at this moment. He understood that Ling Tian was not at his best, so he might have trouble confronting Man Chong through their souls.

But could it be that Ling Tian's soul force might have recovered considerably seeing that he allowed Man Chong to enter his Knowledge Sea?

Only a powerful expert who was sure to have a stronger soul than the enemy would let them enter into their own Consciousness Sea to fight.

"Will senior brother be alright?" Shan Qingwu hesitated slightly as she quickly understood what was going on.

"Of course." Mu Shuiruo replied calmly.

"Hmph! That guy doesn't know what's waiting for him!" Long Yuyin scoffed at Man Chong's action.

Obviously Ling Tian wouldn't do things he wasn't sure of. If he let Man Chong into his own Consciousness Sea, then Ling Tian was sure to win.

"Most likely, he would want to refine his soul energy to see his memories..." Long Yuyin added shortly. She had an inkling of what Ling Tian might want to do.

"I see..." Lu Wuhu nodded after thinking about it.

Xue Ning still held a trace of worry in her eyes. With her gaze towards Ling Tian she hoped that he was fine.

"Refine his soul?"

However, Nalan Ziqing muttered and was surprised as she remembered these techniques. If a cultivator refined another cultivator's soul energy, then he could access his memories, techniques and secrets engraved in his soul and knowledge sea. But if this expert lost and his soul was killed by the enemy, they could take over his consciousness sea to the point where they could control his body and impersonate him!

This was both a great benefit and a terrifying risk if they managed to assassinate the enemy!

Nalan Ziqing's gaze remained on Ling Tian, thinking about what would happen if the worst happened. Worst of all, what would her Masters feel?

After a few seconds passed, Ling Tian's body moved slightly as he raised his hand and lowered it in Man Chong's direction.

* Boom! *

Man Chong's body was cruelly shattered, shattering into pieces to the point of instantly turning to dust. Even his soul spirit was gone, as if it was only a lifeless inert body awaiting its end. Not even a trace of him was left!

"Master..."

Lu Wuhu approached cautiously. He knew all too well the horror of these spiritual battles between souls. Xue Ning at his side also approached worriedly. Nalan Ziqing nervously tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, hoping that the worst would not happen.

Ling Tian stood with his back turned for a few moments before turning to face them.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that old man has taken over my body?" Ling Tian asked with mild sarcasm. But his eyes showed a slight coldness with a hint of killing intent.

Nalan Ziqing felt cold water fall on her as she saw Ling Tian's cold eyes as if something bad had happened.

Couldn't it really be that Ling Tian's soul was annihilated and Man Chong was impersonating him?

Ling Tian's gaze fell on Nalan Ziqing, scaring her briefly as she saw his cold eyes. That beautiful jet black color now looked like a dark black vortex, as if her soul was drawn to fall and be consumed in despair. There was no need for pressure or spiritual aura, just his grim and terrifying eyes alone was enough to scare her.

"Husband!"

Mu Shuiruo's worried voice came quickly as her tender body embraced Ling Tian lovingly.

Long Yuyin also came over and took Ling Tian's hand. Mu Shuiruo took his other hand and glued her tender and soft body towards Ling Tian.

"That bastard doesn't exist anymore, so don't be swayed by his words..." Long Yuyin whispered as she hugged Ling Tian more as well.

Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo tried to convey their feelings towards Ling Tian through their special connections with him. They instantly understood when Ling Tian's feelings reached their hearts that something had happened and that this loving great husband of theirs was completely furious and angry. Most likely Man Chong had said something shocking to him to put him in such a state, after all, Ling Tian would not be easily angered unless it involved them or his family.

Ling Tian lowered his eyelids slightly, withdrawing his gaze from Nalan Ziqing and finally closed his eyes. He took a deep breath before calming the raging killing intent hidden in his heart.

That Man Chong had insulted his mothers was something he could not easily control. Both his adoptive mother and birth mother had an extremely important and special position in his heart. Ling Tian would not let anyone insult his two mothers.

"That old man really deserved to die." Mu Shuiruo finally whispered with some annoyance once all of Ling Tian's feelings and little memories of hearing Man Chong insulting his mother came to the two of them. Mu Shuiruo so tender and calm also couldn't control her anger when she realized it.

Now they understood what had happened a few moments ago.

"En! No one can insult our mother..." Long Yuyin whispered as her cheeks blushed slightly, while at the same time, Mu Shuiruo's cheeks also blushed but much more as she nodded at Long Yuyin's words.

As Ling Tian's wives, Ling Tian's mother is also the mother of them all!

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ling Tian gently opened his eyes. The beautiful jet black color bright as a galaxy and its stars reappeared in his eyes again.

"Thank you..." Ling Tian smiled lovingly at Long Yuyin and Mu Shuiruo. His hands affectionately squeezed the tender little hands of these two beautiful and wonderful women.

The killing intent in his heart was completely calmed down thanks to Mu Shuiruo and Long Yuyin. Now only calm and tranquility ruled again.

"It's alright! I'm fine now! I was just a little upset..."

Ling Tian shrugged as he looked at Lu Wuhu and the others.

"Big brother." Xue Ning smiled in relief finally.

"Master, are you really okay? Ouch!" Lu Wuhu asked hesitantly when he felt a small blow land on his head. He quickly covered his head as the pain expanded in him without finding any defense.

"Although your Master is no longer at his peak it's not easy to deal with." Ling Tian smiled intensely, raising his hand again as he wanted to hit Lu Wuhu again and startled him.

Lu Wuhu rubbed his own head, causing the pain to pass quickly as he adopted a somewhat childish demeanor. However, his expression became relieved and normal again.

Ling Tian saw Shan Qingwu who let out a relief and smiled again. Xuanyuan Ling seemed to have never worried, as if she knew he would be fine. But as for Nalan Ziqing, there was still a hidden trace of fear in her gaze. She even averted her gaze to the side.

"There are many things you will experience that might terrify even your soul, but for us, it's a normal thing." Ling Tian smiled wryly as he saw the feelings of fear in Nalan Ziqing. It was no wonder she was frightened, although she had an extraordinary bearing and demeanor almost like Xuanyuan Ling, Nalan Ziqing at the end of the day was a young woman of about 17 or 18 years old, just growing up and experiencing the cold and cruel side of cultivation.

Nalan Ziqing swallowed with difficulty as she looked slightly at Ling Tian with difficulty and nodded slowly. She could still feel the terror in that look that she would be lost if she let herself go. Nalan Ziqing thought she had seen all kinds of people and evil, but Ling Tian's cold eyes easily broke through her defenses with just a glance. Nalan Ziqing couldn't help but remember the gaze of those cultivators when they killed his parents; yet strangely enough those evil cultivators couldn't compare to Ling Tian's simple gaze.

"Grandmaster, were you able to obtain anything?"

Xuanyuan Ling suddenly asked. Her gaze swept over Nalan Ziqing as she slightly lifted the corner of her lips before smiling at Ling Tian.

Nalan Ziqing noticed this and discreetly clenched her fist. Without realizing it, that provocative smile of Xuanyuan Ling's had swept away her fears and scares, thinking about the teasing of that woman of the same age as her. The thought that she was still very weak came to her mind.
