Chapter 1068 - The Natural Order of Things

“Is he the enemy of Elder Cang Yuan, an old monster that has lived for more than 10,000 years?” Ling Chuxi’s heart subconsciously tightened as she took a deep breath.

Although she had already prepared herself to help the Cang Yuan Sword spirit take revenge for the Sword Master Cang Yuan, she did not expect that her enemy would find her so soon—an old monster that had lived for more than 10,000 years. Even a hare that had lived for so long would have become a spirit. It was a waste of energy to even try to figure out how strong such a creature would even have. With Ling Chuxi’s current strength, how could she not feel nervous?

“You don’t have to worry too much. Life and death go hand in hand. It’s is the law of nature. No one or any race can survive for tens of thousands of years. If he had, he must have used some heaven-defying race’s secret technique. And if so, he will definitely be punished by the heavens. He’s definitely strong but probably as much as you think. Otherwise, why would he use his divine consciousness to probe? Wouldn’t it be better to just show himself?” The sword spirit sensed Ling Chuxi’s nervousness and tried to console her.

“That’s good.” Ling Chuxi’s mood finally relaxed a little. The sword spirit was right. If the other party really had the strength accumulated over tens of thousands of years of cultivation, he would probably be able to pierce through the universe with a single finger. Why would he need to rely on his divine consciousness to probe around? Wouldn’t it be more convenient for him to confront them directly?

“However, you can’t be careless. He might have already noticed my existence, or at least, he has his suspicions. As long as we have not rebuilt Cang Yuan with the remnants of Cang Yuan Sword, the two of us will never be his match. Soon, I will gather my spiritual consciousness and fall into a deep sleep to avoid attracting his attention. You have to be more careful too. It’s best not to use Cang Yuan Sword Play lightly.” The sword spirit reminded.

“Yes, I understand,” said Ling Chuxi solemnly.

After the sword spirit finished speaking, it immediately disappeared. Ling Chuxi felt that even the contract she had forged in the spiritual space had become imperceptible. It was obvious that the sword spirit had entered a deep sleep.

The moment the sword spirit disappeared, the spiritual consciousness probed Ling Chuxi again. This time, Ling Chuxi already knew the other party’s background, so she deliberately pretended as if nothing had happened.

A moment later, the divine consciousness disappeared again. Ling Chuxi let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the sword spirit was right. The other party must have sensed his existence and suspected her. Fortunately, the sword spirit hid quickly, or else he might have been discovered.

She did not expect to meet the enemy of Sword Master Cang Yuan in Qianzhong Ridge yet. However, Ling Chuxi did not regret it. As the sword spirit grew stronger, it was only a matter of time before it was discovered by the other party. For the other party to appear so early could be considered a warning to her. It might not be a bad thing.

Ling Chuxi did not notice that Little White and Little Red had both poked their heads out at the same time and secretly glanced in a certain direction. Their sparkling eyes contained a serious expression.

“My Lady, why don’t we go back first?” Zhang Shizhao’s words interrupted Ling Chuxi’s train of thought.

Originally, he wanted to accompany Ling Chuxi as she strolled around to let her experience the prosperity of Kai Yuan City. He also wanted to prove that the Zhang family did not bully the commoners and tarnish the reputation of the sect. But because Zhang Yuhong’s identity was exposed, it caused a wave of commotion to the point where Zhang Shizhao ended up embarrassed to continue shopping.

“Alright, let’s go back.” Ling Chuxi had something on her mind and lost interest in shopping. Besides, the people on the streets had all run away. What was the point of shopping?

Everyone got back into their carriages before they sped away. Thanks to Zhang Yuhong, the streets were empty enough for them to travel speedily.
