Chapter 689 The Legend of the Spiritual God (Part 1)

Xie Ku's departure left Chen Ling sheathing his weapon and heading towards the city wall behind him. Xie Ku, Xie Ru, and Xie Xie returned to their main camp. Xie Ku spoke with a face full of emotion, "Why did you stop me? That guy's strength is at least on my level. I haven't encountered such an opponent in a long time."

"Don't rush. I think I have some clues about that girl's information, but I still need to confirm it with our clan to avoid incurring great disaster."

Xie Ru seemed to recall something and became flustered, heading towards his room. Xie Ku and Xie Xie knew what Xie Ru intended to do and had no right to interfere. After all, Xie Ru was the commander-in-chief of this battlefield, authorized by a certain esteemed individual. To resist his orders would be to resist that individual. Xie Ru entered his room, which was bare of any items. On the ground was a green magic formation.

Xie Ru placed his finger on his lips and made a snapping sound. His arm was cut, and drops of black blood entered the magic formation. Xie Ru's body exuded a powerful aura of evil spirits. The evil spirit energy and blood entered the formation, causing it to glow. Green airflow slowly rose, accumulating until it formed a phantom figure. It was a majestic figure, radiating an aura of dread just by standing there. Xie Ru immediately knelt and said sincerely, "My Lord!"

"Speak, what do you need? Didn't I tell you? Do not use this communication formation unless something of great importance occurs."

"My Lord, the situation is as follows. We have arrived at the Southern Fortress as per your instructions. However, the humans here had already sensed something amiss and prepared their defenses. We have been stalemating with them for two days. Today, Xie Ku triumphed over the defending general."

"Then what else do you need to tell me? Why aren't you taking the South quickly and reporting this to me here?"

The phantom figure was enraged. The general had achieved victory, so why were they still lingering? Why not take the enemy down immediately!

"My Lord, please calm your anger. I have my reasons for acting this way. I will explain the specific situation to you next."

Xie Ru recounted the events at the Southern Fortress to the phantom figure before him. Upon hearing the end, the phantom figure fell into deep thought, then said with relief, "Indeed, you did the right thing. That girl might be her."

"We cannot afford to provoke her. It is best to avoid direct confrontation. However, how could she have a connection with the beings of this world? Wait a moment, I will inquire with higher authorities."

The phantom figure became solemn. When discussing Chen Ling, their heart was filled with shock and fear. The shock stemmed from the fact that she actually had a connection with this world, and the fear was due to her identity. Their Xie Ling clan could not afford to offend her. If that esteemed individual of their clan were still around, they would not have been afraid. However, that individual was in reincarnation, and their fate was unknown. Their backing was not worthy of being on equal footing with that individual.

The phantom figure vanished instantly. Xie Ru remained crouched before the formation, awaiting the Lord's return. After a few minutes, the phantom figure re-coalesced. The phantom figure spoke lightly, "Confirmed. It should be her. Do not act against her for now. I will find a way to contact them and have them send someone to escort her back."

"Rest assured for the next few days. Absolutely do not clash with them, do you understand?"

"Yes, My Lord!"

Seeing the Lord's solemn demeanor, Xie Ru realized that the girl's identity was as he had suspected. Thankfully, he had not allowed Xie Ku to act earlier; otherwise, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

The phantom figure dissipated, and the formation lost its light. In a corner of the formation, there was a marked-out area. This formation could only be used three times. It had been used once, and the damage was not too significant. Future communications needed to be chosen with caution.

Xie Ru walked out of his room. Xie Ku and Xie Xie were waiting outside the door. Xie Ru said, "Both of you can wait with peace of mind for the next few days."

"Does Xie Ru know the origin of that girl? What kind of identity makes you so apprehensive!"

Xie Xie was observant and could tell from Xie Ru's expression that the matter was not simple.

"It's not me who is apprehensive; it is our entire Xie Ling clan that should be apprehensive. We cannot afford to provoke that girl's identity."

Xie Ru's eyes revealed a look of fear. Xie Ku said, "I only wish to fight. I hope you won't stop me in a few days. I want to have a good battle."

"Naturally. Provided you remain calm for these few days."

"Alright."

Xie Ku had no choice but to agree to Xie Ru's request. He could afford to wait a few days and hoped that no one would interfere or stop him in the subsequent battles. His patience had run out.

Xie Ku's figure walked towards his room. Xie Xie said meaningfully, "Tell me about her origin. I feel like you are afraid of her identity."

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

Xie Xie was different from Xie Ku and Xie Ru. Xie Ku, Xie Ru, and Xie Xie each had their own unique characteristics. Xie Ku was a battle-maniac, Xie Ru was an intellectual who enjoyed knowledge, and Xie Xie was adept at scheming. The three of them were completely different, yet it was these differences that made them good friends. Their complementary strengths and weaknesses had made them legendary throughout the myriad worlds.

"I've told you both to read more ancient texts. Those books are related to our Xie Ling clan."

"Among the three of us, only you like reading books. I don't like books."

"You! Then I'll tell you."

"First, let me ask you, what is the origin and genesis of our Xie Ling clan?"

"Naturally, we were created by that esteemed individual. Our lives and deaths are all under that individual's control. However, there has been no news from that individual. They are likely long dead in reincarnation."

"Correct. But do you know that individual comes from Yuan Village? Yuan Village is the starting point of everything, the origin of the universe. The people of Yuan Village never leave Yuan Village. They only teach disciples and seek inheritors to maintain the order of the universe. And in Yuan Village, there is naturally more than just that esteemed individual's inheritor. How many races are on par with the Xie Ling clan in the myriad worlds?"

"Seven. They are evenly matched with the Xie Ling clan. The birth of these seven races is the same as that of the Xie Ling clan. You are saying that the girl is the offspring of one of these races, and a particularly crucial one at that."

"Exactly. You should know the Ling Shen clan, one of the seven races."

"Of course, I know. This is a race that no other race wants to provoke."

Xie Xie showed a look of disdain. Xie Ru shook his head. In the myriad worlds, there were seven races on par with the Xie Ling clan, collectively known as the Seven Races. The Xie Ling clan was one of them. The Seven Races represented the apex of power in the universe.

"We are both well aware of the Ling Shen clan's abilities. That girl is the daughter of the Ling Shen clan's Emperor. We cannot afford to provoke her."

"This, it can't be possible!"

Xie Xie never imagined that her identity was so powerful. The offspring of a Ling Shen Emperor. Wasn't it said that the Ling Shen Emperor had no offspring?

"This is a story about the Ling Shen clan. Listen closely as I tell you."

Xie Ru's expression was heavy. He had learned this matter from ancient books, tales of the Ling Shen.

The Ling Shen clan's abilities were immensely powerful, so much so that the other six of the Seven Races dared not provoke them. The status of an Emperor was equivalent to that of a creator. She had created the entire Ling Shen clan, just like that esteemed individual of the Xie Ling clan.

Without that esteemed individual, their Xie Ling clan was no match for them, not even that esteemed inheritor disciple.

After all, she was a direct disciple of Yuan Village, with Yuan Village behind her. Their own esteemed backing had not yet fully controlled the Xie Ling clan.
