69: Xia family submits

"When you first arrived at the Xia family, I observed you with this technique."

"What I saw then was not good fortune, but... a soaring black aura sufficient to destroy my Xia family." Old Master Xia spoke with a heavy tone, laying all his cards on the table.

"An incomplete Qi Gazing Technique?" Ling Xian was slightly surprised.

Although this technique shared similarities with his 'Eye of Detection', its functions were significantly reduced.

Even so, it should logically be enough to keep a family standing tall.

"Then, please use the Qi Gazing Technique once more, Old Master, and take a look at me now."

Old Master Xia looked troubled.

The Qi Gazing Technique had a limited number of uses and was incredibly precious.

But considering the other party's life-saving favor, he ultimately closed his eyes and concentrated on performing the technique.

This look, however, caused his heart to shake violently.

The dense, soaring black aura that originally coiled around him had completely dissipated, replaced by a faint wisp of golden fortune.

"No... this is impossible! You... you've changed your fate!" Old Master Xia's voice trembled.

He had only considered the method of changing fate to be a legend in ancient texts.

Now, he had no choice but to believe it.

He had personally witnessed the miracle of changing fate against the heavens.

"Changing fate? I suppose so!"

He was no longer the original Ling Xian, and he could plunder the fortune of others.

Was this not a way of changing fate?

"Unfortunately, even so, I cannot use the entire Xia family as a bargaining chip to bet on you." Old Master Xia looked at Ling Xian with a complicated gaze.

Ling Xian replied with a cold gaze: "You only focus on those illusory things, but you ignore that behind me is the Ling Clan of Zhongzhou!

I could exterminate the entire Xia family right now."

As soon as he finished speaking!

His five fingers gripped Old Master Xia's neck like iron pincers, his eyes ruthless, as if life was inherently fragile before him.

"You are a Grandmaster? That Young Grandmaster from the East Sea!

No, you can't kill me!

If I die, what will my granddaughter think?

Don't you want to be with her?" At the moment of life and death, this was the only bargaining chip left in Old Master Xia's mind.

Ling Xian suddenly let go.

Old Master Xia felt relieved, thinking that the leverage regarding his granddaughter had worked.

However, in the next moment, his soul felt as if it were being burned by a supreme power.

Ling Xian wore a near-demonic smile: "If you die, what if I simply say Su Ran did it?

At that time, to protect the Xia family, would your son choose to acknowledge that it was me?

As for Sister Xia Mo, I have my own ways to make her believe it."

As early as the treatment, Ling Xian had unscrupulously planted sparks of Undead Divine Fire in various important meridians within Old Master Xia's body.

At that time, the other party was unconscious and simply could not stop him.

The burning sensation from the depths of his soul made Old Master Xia feel as if he were in a frying pan in the eighteenth level of hell.

Pain was only the slightest sensation; what was more terrifying was his soul being gnawed and bitten by ten thousand ants.

"For Xia Mo's sake, I actually don't want to kill you, as long as you don't get in my way.

So, I'm giving you two choices now: submit, or die!"

"I submit, this old servant submits!" The servility in Old Master Xia's bones was completely triggered.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken what he saw with just one Qi Gazing Technique as absolute truth.

Even when facing a Child of Destiny, making friends might not yield profit; instead, it might result in handing over the entire family.

Unfortunately, Old Master Xia still pinned all his hopes on this.

"Grandpa Xia, look, if you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this, right?"

Facing Ling Xian's sudden change, Old Master Xia retreated several steps, not daring to speak.

"Young Master Ling, I'll do it myself. You helping me... is against the rules." At this moment, the word "servant" was practically carved onto Old Master Xia's face.

The Xia family had submitted!

The new Child of Destiny, Su Ran, had appeared, and the Xia family's matters were resolved.

Ling Xian signaled Ling Wu to drive back.

As soon as the car started, Ling Wu spoke up to warn: "Young Master, someone is following us!"

"Turn into a deserted area," Ling Xian ordered.

Just as he finished speaking, the system's notification sound rang out!

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for making the Xia family submit and intercepting Su Ran's opportunity. Gained 5,000 villain points!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for causing Su Ran psychological frustration and making him strike out in anger. Gained 1,000 villain points!】

"Open the panel!"

【host: Ling Xian】

【villain points: 10,100 points】

【Cultivation: Stage Six (Grandmaster)】

【Skills: God-level Calligraphy, Advanced Driving Skills, Eight Languages, Beginner Business Proficiency, Advanced Piano Skill...】

【Divine Ability: Undead Divine Fire】

【Special: Super Recovery】

【Items: Three primary beauty-enhancing pills】

【Subordinate Forces: Eight Hundred Silent Undead Army (Unawakened)】

Looking at the panel, Ling Xian's eyes showed satisfaction.

After the rolls-royce drove to a deserted corner.

"Get out of the car!"

Following Ling Xian's command, Ling Wu and the Living Dead got out of the car and waited for the visitor.

"Young Master, do you need me to take action?" Ling Wu asked.

In his view, while the Young Master was certainly powerful, the opponent wasn't worth the Young Master personally taking action.

A figure like the Young Master should sit on a throne and quietly watch the world's struggles.

But Ling Xian understood that with Ling Wu's Half-step Grandmaster realm, his chances of winning against the Stage Five Su Ran were slim.

"No need. It's a good chance to test the results of my recent body tempering."

"Su Ran, aren't you going to show yourself? Do you insist on hiding your head and showing your tail?" Ling Xian's voice echoed in the open area.

Before his voice had faded, Su Ran walked out from behind a tree.

"Good perception.

Unfortunately, of all the things you shouldn't have done, you shouldn't have offended me.

Finishing you off here will be completely undetected." His words were full of arrogance.

If Ling Xian hadn't acted, he could have easily plotted against the entire Xia family and even the two Xia sisters.

It was all because of Ling Xian's appearance that his plans were ruined.

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Su Ran's hand. Dragon shadows faintly appeared on nine golden needles, condensing into a single point as they shot forward.

Ling Xian looked at the approaching golden light, his heart as calm as still water.

He didn't use the first three forms of the Dragon Capturing Hand, in which he had significant proficiency, but instead chose the Five Beasts Fist.

He had been practicing the stance technique hard during this time and had also trained in the Five Beasts Fist, but ultimately, he hadn't grasped its essence.

It was slightly inferior to those phantoms from the Beast Bone Tribe.

Ape Fist! Silk-Wrapping Hand!

This grappling technique shared similarities with the Dragon Capturing Hand; once entangled, it was difficult to escape.

As a phantom unfolded in the air, all nine golden needles were entangled in his palm.

Su Ran wanted to use internal energy to drive the golden needles to break free.

However, facing Ling Xian's majestic true qi and the terrifying suppression of a body cultivator, the golden needles were held firmly in a death grip.

"Give them back to me!" Su Ran was furious. The golden needles were one of the few supreme treasures he had, and they had actually been snatched away.

"Treasures belong to those who are capable." Ling Xian's expression was cold, and his whole body emitted an insidious aura.

"Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon, First Transformation!" Su Ran's aura surged, seemingly approaching the Grandmaster level as he lunged again, directly trying to snatch the golden needles.

Ling Xian spotted the opponent's opening. With one hand suppressing the struggling force of the golden needles, he threw a Five Beasts Fist with the other.

Crane Fist! Water-Tapping Finger!

The fist transformed into finger force, precise and ruthless, specifically designed to break external hard techniques.

Combined with the Golden Needle Technique he had long since mastered, finger shadows appeared, instantly striking Su Ran's major acupoints.

Pffft pffft pffft!

Su Ran's back door uncontrollably released gas.

"You... what did you do to me?" His face was pale as he squeezed his legs together, his eyes full of terror.

"Aren't you a Divine Doctor yourself? Why ask me."
