"... Aren't you coming out?"
Right after Xia Tian said these words, a figure slowly walked near him.
"You are good at tricking innocent girls..." Li Nan spoke sarcastically.
She stood next to Xia Tian, she was watching everything from above, so the moment the barrier stopping her from interfering was removed she made her way to him.
Hearing her words, Xia Tian shrugged.
"I spoke the truth, she is the one who is not believing me," he said casually.
"I already told her I killed her brother, she is the one who ignored my words... Blame her for her own ignorance..."
"!!"
Li Nan frowned.
"You killed Ye Wuhan?" to think that the person she was trying to find was standing near her... It was unbelievable to her.
Xia Tian laughed without care for her angered look.
"I did, so?..." he spoke while looking at her with a provocative look.
He wanted her to attack him first so that he can easily subdue her.
But Li Nan had already faced this man's tricks twice.
She was cautious this time.
She chooses her right to be silent.
After a moment, she opened her lips and spoke.
"Even if you are from Xia Family, the old general will not leave you alone..."
Xia Tian raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
"Old general..." he muttered.
"Hey fierce woman, what if I destroy the Ye family without attacking them?"
Li Nan was left stunned listening to his words, she even ignored that he referred to her as a fierce woman.
'He wants to destroy that girl's family? Shouldn't he try to make peace with them using Ye Suyin? Then, he can borrow Ye's family's strength and fight the Long Tian... What is wrong with his mind!" Li Nan thought.
No matter how much she tried to think, Xia Tian's mind was just absurd for her!
What will that Ye girl do if she finds out her man wanted to destroy her own family?
Li Nan was unaware that this was the very reason he wanted to destroy the Ye family... To see Ye Suyin's reaction when she realizes the truth.
Thought, something was troubling Li Nan.
'How will he destroy Ye family without attacking them?'
His words made no sense to her, but as aware she was, the more she asks the more opportunity she will provide to this man.
She just wanted to know his plans for Long Tian and leave.
How can Xia Tian not be aware of her motives...
His rules are still the same, get anything from him, but be ready to pay the price.
But what if that price defeats the very purpose of it?
Dealing with Xia Tian will always result in other person loss.
Li Nan was unaware of this and was trying to commit the foolish mistake of tricking Xia Tian, if Xia Shuiyao was here she would have laughed at her foolishness.
Tricking him??
Out of all the million ways to suffer she had to choose the worst one!
Ignorant of her naivety, Li Nan spoke. "The Ye girl would never forgive you for playing with her..."
Even Li Nan herself felt bad for her, but she had no intention to insert her nose into someone else's business.
More like she doesn't want to have any more interaction with Xia Tian.
Xia Tian warmly smiled.
"Who wants her forgiveness?" he questioned.
The fierce woman was left speechless, 'He is far more terrible than I thought, brother Long was much better than him.'
The Li girl was unaware of her thoughts, she was comparing Xia Tian with Long Tian, in her mind.
She held high regard for Long Tian, her feelings can bloom into love anytime soon.
Comparing him with Xia Tian meant the impression Xia Tian left on her mind in this short duration was quite deep.
Though contrary to the case of feelings of admiration for the first one, Li Nan had feelings of disgust for the second one.
But both ranked equally in her mind. It's two sides of the same coin.
When both were planning their next moves, a huge pillar made up of green light rose in the sky.
"!!"
Both got alert at the same time, Li Nan narrowed her gaze at the green pillar of light.
"That is coming from the direction of red stone city," she spoke.
Xia Tian, "I think we should move a bit away from here..." he lightly spoke.
Right after the words left his mouth, another pillar rose in the sky dazzling their vision.
Xia Tian sighed and whispered.
"Nyx..."
Soon, the flying ship was swallowed by a large dark ball of energy, it was shining with brilliance comparable to the green pillars in the sky.
The next moment, the flying ship disappeared and appeared a few miles away from its earlier location.
Li Nan's vision was restored, and her eyelids flickered as she slowly opened her eyes.
She saw a foreign woman standing next to Xia Tian, then after a moment, she shifted her gaze to the scene in front of her.
Surprisingly both Nyx and Xia Tian were seriously observing the phenomenon in front of them.
The green pillars were not ordinary but were made up by the use of ancient runes.
This level of mastery of ancient runes was something Xia Tian had never seen.
Another pillar rose in the sky, then after a moment, one more pillar was shot forwards.
The four pillars encircled the whole red-stone city.
Various mortal experts have gathered outside to observe this.
From the inside, people were screaming in horror and trying to escape but the pillars have enclosed the whole city by a strong barrier, and no one was able to leave.
Soon, a figure became visible in the sky.
"The Princess of destruction?"
It was Li Nan who spoke, she is well aware of this person. Though she had never interacted but almost everyone knew of her, in the whole sacred sky realm there are two-person which none can forget.
The Princess of destruction and the Sword Fairy.
Both are untouchable fairies that can't be approached by mortals.
The latter one is famous for her sword and beauty, she even dared to reject an Immortal from the divine realm which nearly made the whole sacred sky jade realm panic.
The former one was famous for her otherworldly beauty, even Xia Tian had to sigh in admiration seeing her, this was the first time he had seen someone who can make him act like this. But this rose has thorns in it, she isn't called the princess of destruction for nothing, she is the sect master of the dark soul sect.
The dark soul sect is famous for all kinds of deprave acts which one can think... It is full of evil cultivators. But no one dares to move on them, all due to their sect master who appeared in the scared sky jade realm a few years ago out of thin air.
No one can chase her location, as she disappears the very moment her plans are completed. But each plan had one element in common... Death.
Whenever she appears thousands of cultivators die.
After a moment the four pillars emitted a green brilliance dazzling everyone.
They were shot further into the sky, piercing the clouds, the all four pillars expanded and combined into one large pillar of light.
"Close your ears," said Xia Tian.
Both women were confused yet complied with his words, the next moment a gigantic explosion took place.
Boooom!!
The huge piller shot forward into the sky, it pierced the clouds and reached space.
A huge shockwave was generated by the attack, and all the cultivators who were nearby felt their ears vibrating from inside.
"What!?" one of the cultivators spoke in terror.
"Ahhh!!" the next moment, blood spurted out of his ears, it was not just him.
Each and every cultivator present was the same, all of their eardrums got ruptured, and no matter how much spiritual energy they used to defend themselves, the shockwave pierced through everything in its path, destroying all types of defenses.
Nyx frowned upon seeing it, the shockwave can even harm her ears, which was something she can never imagine.
After Xia Tian, she was the strongest, on par with the eternal seer of destiny.
But now, this woman in front of her makes her feel a strange emotion that she hasn't felt for years...
...fear.
For other cultivators, the woman in front of them was a mere overlord, but for a void realm cultivator, she was the very symbol of horror. They can see behind her mask, her body was emitting endless energy as if knowing no end.
It was pure energy unlike what they use which is filled with imperfections.
Regardless Nyx still floated into the air, ready to defend Xia Tian, though she is aware he has his powers back, defending him was her work.
"No need," Xia Tian caught her hand midair, which made Nyx confused.
"Not an enemy?" she asked, to which he shook his head.
After getting the confirmation, Nyx calmed down, though she was curious about the identity of this woman.
Her eyes glinted with fighting spirit as she stared in front of her.
Xia Tian was also amazed by the display of runic power at its fullest.
The woman in front of him was able to command the elements to do whatever she wanted.
Other than God who can override the control over the elements, no cultivator in this world will be ever able to defeat this woman.
She was able to communicate with the elements themselves, it suggested that she was one of the primordial beings.
After a moment, the dazzling light faded away leaving only the cultivators which were screaming in ground holding their ears filled with blood.
As for the city, it was annihilated.
The whole area turned into a plain patch of land as if the city never exist, and the cultivators who were trapped inside disappeared without a trace.
"!!"
Li Nan gasped in horror seeing the scene in front of her.
The attack was too clean.
A single attack annihilated the whole city!
After a moment, she spotted the princess turning in their direction, her soul nearly left her body when the princess' gaze fell onto her, though it did not stay for long.
Then, the princess of destruction glanced at Nyx for a brief moment, but Nyx gave no reaction to her.
After that, her gaze swept across Xia Tian's figure, her dark green eyes glowed for a moment.
Surprising everyone, she bowed lightly and after a wink, she disappeared.
The cultivators tried to discern the identity of the person the princess paid respects to unfortunately their vision was covered by a strange illusion unable to see through anything.
Once her figure vanished, Xia Tian peeked at Nyx who was curious about the identity of that woman.
"Can you defeat her?" he asked.
Nyx shook her head.
Observing her reaction, Xia Tian nodded in approval.
It is good, she is aware of her own strength.
"Do you know her?" Li Nan asked curiously.
Xia Tian shrugged. "She is a beauty that's all I know."
He wasn't lying this was the first time he saw her, though his words were interpreted in a different sense by Li Nan.
She snorted.
She thought Xia Tian was hiding it from her, unfortunately, she was unaware of him, if he has a treasure then he won't hide it but go on barging about it to everyone.
He is a narcissist.
