Chapter 340 Talk With Ling Chen Again
Above the sky, two men were standing there, and their eyes were fixed on the gruesome scene in a village below them. All the villagers rolled on the ground, as they continued to scream in pain, be it men or women, adults or children.
“Hehe! My Lord will enjoy these people’s life energy.”
“Why does My Lord need this much life energy, Elder?”
“Humph! You don’t need to know the purpose of My Lord, and you just need to carry out My Lord orders. Otherwise, I will kill you and your family.”
“I… I understand.”
After a while, the people in the village stopped screaming because they were dead; even their bodies had dried up, leaving only their skeletons and skin behind. .
“Let’s get out of here, we still have to gather more life energy for My Lord.”
“Alright.”

Xia Wu asked in a whisper. ‘What exactly is your relationship with Aunt Yuhe and Aunt Xuan, Cousin Tian?’
Xia Tian just smiled and shook his head at her, he then left Xia Wu to meet Ling Chen.
“Stingy!” Xia Wu said quietly as she pursed her lips, and she wondered in her heart. ‘Could he be in a relationship with Aunt Yuhe and Aunt Xuan? What’s more, they look so affectionate to each other, even Aunt Xuan doesn’t refuse to be hugged by him.’
When he arrived, he saw Ling Chen throwing stones into the river in anger. “Why are you still angry like this, Chen’er?”
Ling Cheng was surprised to hear his voice; she then turned to face him. “I’m sorry, Brother Xia. Because-”
“You don’t need to apologize to me, Chen’er.” Xia Tian immediately interrupted her, as he walked forward. He then took out a bracelet from his storage ring and helped her put it on. “This bracelet is equipped with an extremely powerful defensive formation, even a person as strong as Zhu Yuhe wouldn’t be able to attack you, so you’d be safe if I wasn’t by your side.”
Ling Chen looked at him with a complicated look, as she rubbed the bracelet in her hand. In fact, she was deeply touched by Xia Tian’s kindness, even though she had already refused his request, but he still treated her as usual, and he even protected her from her uncle.
Xia Tian smiled at her and said. “If you want to thank me, then you should learn the Emotionless Sword Technique well and become a strong female cultivator.”
“En, I won’t let you down, Brother Xia.” Ling Chen nodded with a sweet smile.
Xia Tian froze for a moment seeing her smile, he then gently caressed her cheek. “You’re really pretty, Chen’er. Your smile is also charming, and even your voice is melodious.”
Ling Chen didn’t say anything to him, but her face was already bright red from his affectionate action, and her heart was pounding hard.
“To be honest, I hope you can throw away the plan in your heart.” Ling Chen raised her eyebrows hearing that, but Xia Tian didn’t want to discuss it further, he then took her hand and led her to walk leisurely. “Life is complicated, Chen’er. Sometimes we are happy, but sometimes we suffer. Even though your suffering is quite heavy, but I know someone who has suffered much more than you, yet she persists until now.”
“Who is that person, Brother Xia?”
Xia Tian turned to her and answered her question. “That person is your future master; her name is Jian Wuqing, and her nickname is Emotionless Sword Immortal.”
“Eh!?” Ling Chen suddenly stopped walking, and she looked at Xia Tian in shock.
Xia Tian stood facing her. “As you might have guessed, she is the owner of the Emotionless Sword Technique.”
“An immortal? Don’t they only exist in legend, Brother Xia?” Ling Chen asked in disbelief. Even though she was just an ordinary cultivator, she also loved to read old literature and scrolls, and she had read about immortals before, but she didn’t know that they existed.
“Immortals do exist, Ling Chen.” Xia Tian then pulled her hand to walk with him again. “This universe is vast, and there are many mysteries in it. This Seven Star World is only one planet in the Lower Realm, and there are hundreds of other planets out there. In addition, there are Middle Realm, Upper Realm, and Supreme Realm. For the Supreme Realm, we cultivators usually call it the Immortal Realm, there are many Immortals in that realm, and Jian Wuqing is one of them.”
Ling Chen just listened to Xia Tian talk in silence, as she stared at him in amazement. “But how did you know about them, Brother Xia?”
“Because I was one of them in the past, and people addressed me as Immortal Long Tian.” Xia Tian replied as he transformed himself into his old form. “This is me in my past life, Chen’er.”
Ling Chen looked at him in a daze, because Long Tian’s figure looked very mature, manly, and much more handsome than Xia Tian. Subconsciously, she reached out her hand and caressed his cheek, and he then asked. “If you were an immortal in the past, then how could you die and become Xia Tian?”
Xia Tian sighed heavily at his question, as he held her hand. He then told her a little about his past life story, especially about his relationship with Liu Lifen, and he also told her about his death.
Ling Chen’s jaw dropped at that, but she also felt strange about him. In the past, he was so loyal to his wife, and he was even willing to do anything to bring her back to life. But now, he had instead become a dual cultivator, and he also had many women by his side.
“I know you must think I’m weird, right?” Ling Chen nodded to him; he then spoke again. “Frankly speaking, at that time, I thought that I would never be able to meet Lifen again. That’s why I decided to become a dual cultivator, it was because I wanted to become strong as quickly as possible, and I wanted to defy fate once again. Unexpectedly, Lifen also reincarnated in this world, and I’ve reunited with her now.”
“Eh?” Ling Chen was really surprised to hear that. “Liu Lifen also reincarnated in this world? Isn’t that too coincidental, Brother Xia?”
“En, the current Lifen is Bai Yinyue, the third princess of the Bai Kingdom in the Western Continent.” Ling Chen was even more shocked to hear that, Xia Tian turned to her. “But you’re right, the two of us being able to reincarnate on this planet is strange, and it’s too much of a coincidence. Perhaps everything was planned by fate for us, but I don’t know what fate planned for us.”
Before long, they had arrived at their campsite. Huo Jun and Yun Feng looked at them strangely, and they could also see the unusual expression on Ling Chen’s face. As for Xia Wu, she felt jealous of Ling Chen, because Xia Tian seemed to treat her better than herself.
