Shen Lian left Diqiu at that moment of time, but ultimately he decided to continue staying in Diqiu.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
After all, Shen Lian had injured the High Priest and although he was able to resolve Emperor Xia's dragon fist, his body was slightly wounded throughout the process.
Emperor Xia's dragon fist was a killer blow for all strength training cultivators. When the dragon fist came into contact with Shen Lian, the impact of the punch seeped into Shen Lian's body and ruptured the tiniest blood vessels and meridians. If it was someone else who was taking the punch, the person's organs would have ruptured into a puddle of blood.
It had been a while since Shen Lian had a taste of defeat. Emperor Xia had taught him a good lesson.
Up till then, the impact of Emperor Xia's dragon fist was still lingering inside Shen Lian's body. It was the Primordial Spirit that was keeping it suppressed.
But it was not entirely fair to say that Empire Xia had the upper hand. The Avici and Yuantu Swords' will were not easily removable. Emperor Xia would most probably have to go through excruciating pain during his cultivation at night. But what Shen Lian did not know was that Emperor Xia had tested out the killing sword will prior to this.
Shen Lian was resting in a dark solemn forest. He laid against a big tree while the Pegasus chewed on the leaves to ease the tension from before.
Suddenly the Pegasus stopped chewing and took several steps backward towards Shen Lian.
A stout black calf appeared. Its breath was terrifying. It almost felt like an immense stagnant pressure that suddenly emerged and it was almost at the same level of Yinglong.
The owner of the stout black calf was most probably a divine creature as heavenly as the dragon or phoenix in order to inflict such fear on the Pegasus who possessed dragon blood.
Shen Lian set his gaze ahead and the owner of the stout black calf was finally revealed. It was an ink black Qilin with smooth shiny fur.
A man dressed in linen was sitting on the back of the Qilin. There were clouds under his feet, and he had a green headband that held onto his black and grey long hair.
From Shen Lian's angle, all he could see was the profile of the man in linen. He seemed cold and arrogant, as if he walked out from a piece of art carved from stone.
The man riding the ink black Qilin seemed to not notice the Pegasus and Shen Lian and walked past them.
Shen Lian was moved, ”Fellow Daoist, please stay for a moment.”
The man dressed in linen heard Shen Lian and the huge Qilin appeared out of nowhere in front of Shen Lian. The breath of the Qilin was scorching hot and it almost sprayed on Shen Lian's face.
Fortunately, the Pegasus had passed the test of the Black Dragon and was able to stay composed when it encountered the Qilin. It kept itself motivated with the inspirations of becoming the king of Pegasus and that prevented it from collapsing.
”I am Wen Zhong and I am heading to Diqiu. May I know why did you tell me to stay?” The man in linen may looked unapproachable but he was warm with his words. He had some grey hair but he looked like he was in his the prime of his early thirties.
Shen Lian smiled and asked, ”May I know why are you heading to Diqiu? I just got out from Diqiu actually.”
”Oh, you just got out from Diqiu? When I first saw you, I thought that you were a fellow cultivator from a famous mountain. I wanted to approach you but you looked like you are not feeling well. Nowadays, the world can be so chaotic and I do not dare to approach you directly as I did not want you to misunderstand. That was why I ignored you earlier. But I did not expect you to call for me.”
There was a bulging scar on Wen Zhong's forehead that looked like a closed eye. His words were very contagious like the spring breeze and it was hard to be careful towards him.
