The martial artist of the Xuan She Demon Sect looked at Ling Jiaojiao with disdain, as if he had already seen the mont when her head would be crushed by him.
However—
An icy, sinister feeling suddenly pierced his throat.
"What?"
The martial artist of the Xuan She Demon Sect never expected that soone from the Ling Family would dare to ambush him.
This sword was silent and ghost-like, piercing his throat.
One sword!
A Tenth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist of the Xuan She Demon Sect, dead!
Although this killing was sowhat treacherous and less than honorable.
But with Ling Xiao's current strength, trying to openly kill such an expert was virtually impossible, even unleashing the Night Demon Flower wouldn't work.
Moreover, since this martial artist of the Xuan She Demon Sect could ambush Ling Jiaojiao, why couldn't he ambush this guy?
Sheathing his sword, Ling Xiao's emotions were not as stirred as expected.
Perhaps it's because he had killed too many martial artists with such cultivation levels in the past.
But this scene completely stunned everyone in the Ling Family.
Especially Ling Yuhua.
He had long lost his usual composure, now his eyes were filled with panic.
The killing of a martial artist from the Xuan She Demon Sect was a major event, a monstrous offense.
This was even more terrifying than the murder of the Prince of the Chen Dynasty.
"Ling Xiao, have you gone mad!"
Ling Yuhua shouted.
"I'm not the one who's mad, it's you! Your granddaughter was attacked, yet you refused to help. You truly are heartless."
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Yuhua coldly and said, "Alright, there's no need to be so flustered, it's just an outer sect passing teacher who died. Believe , the Xuan She Demon Sect won't care too much."
"You make it sound so easy. Do you believe that I might take you to see the Xuan She Demon Sect and hand you over?"
As Ling Yuhua spoke, his aura surged, showing off the strong power of a Yin-Yang Realm cultivation.
He wanted to scare Ling Xiao, but it had little effect; Ling Xiao, being a martial artist who had experienced worldly reincarnation, had faced many storms, how could he fear the pressure of a re Yin-Yang Realm martial artist?
"Hand over? Think it through clearly, you must be aware of the Xuan She Demon Sect's style, their person has died here, and it cannot be solved simply by handing over a murderer.
Most likely, the Ling Family would be exterminated!"
Ling Xiao's voice was very calm but struck like muffled thunder in everyone's hearts.
Because what he said was true, the Xuan She Demon Sect had always handled things this way, with nurous such examples.
After a long period, Ling Yuhua took a deep breath and said, "No one is allowed to reveal a single word about what happened here today. Anyone who dares to speak out will be executed without rcy!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded readily.
This was a matter concerning the safety of the entire Ling Family, no one dared to act recklessly.
"Very well, disperse, go about your business. Ling Xiao, co with !"
Ling Yuhua no longer dared to underestimate Ling Xiao. Although it was a sneak attack, he was able to unexpectedly kill a Tenth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist under such circumstances. This kid was terrifying.
If he wanted to kill him, it might not be impossible.
"Jiaojiao, please take good care of Xiao Wu, I'll be back soon."
Ling Xiao said to Ling Jiaojiao.
"Don't worry, brother, I understand. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let anything happen to Xiao Wu."
The recent events made Ling Jiaojiao determined to follow Ling Xiao wholeheartedly.
The reason was simple.
In such a dangerous situation, even her grandfather, who had a Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, abandoned her.
But Ling Xiao stepped up.
Though the sneak attack succeeded, if it had failed, it would surely have ant death, with no possibility of survival.
Ling Xiao risked his life to save her, how could she not repay with her life?
"I believe you!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and then followed Ling Yuhua to his abode.
No one noticed that within the Ling Family Courtyard, a sneaky figure slipped away quietly.
"Hehe, with the death of the Xuan She Envoy in Yuhua Town, Yuhua Town becos a land without an owner. If I inform the Chen Family of this news, the reward this ti will surely be greater."
He chuckled and quickly disappeared into the long street.
anwhile, at Ling Yuhua's place.
Ling Xiao took out all the pills he had promised to Ling Yuhua.
After having Old Black count them, Ling Yuhua couldn't help but sigh, "You seem to be more formidable than we imagined, it's likely that our tiny Ling Family can't contain you anymore."
"Is the Clan Leader trying to drive away?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword was placed across Ling Xiao's neck.
The one who did it was none other than the Guarding Elder of the Martial Hall.
"It's not about driving you away. Soone like you, only by killing, can one feel at ease."
Ling Yuhua said calmly.
"Then feel free to try."
Ling Xiao nonchalantly sipped his tea, seeming completely indifferent to the Guarding Elder's sword.
Even Ling Yuhua was puzzled.
This young man before him was much harder to deal with than he had imagined, cunning to the extre and full of surprises.
"Guarding Elder, put away the sword."
Ling Yuhua knew very well that if this sword went down, killing Ling Xiao would be fine, ending everything.
But if it couldn't kill him, it would truly beco a mortal enemy, with no possibility of resolution.
"Clan Leader is wise."
Ling Xiao put down his teacup and got straight to the point, "Neither of us is the type who likes beating around the bush, so I'll be straightforward. From today, I can temporarily cooperate with your Ling Family.
You better manage your descendants carefully, don't let them provoke , or don't bla if they get killed by .
Besides, now you can tell , who killed my father Ling Tieshou?"
Since they had reached this point, he didn't have ti to investigate the cause of his father's death himself, after all, just the cultivation was extrely pressing.
If Ling Yuhua knew, then he could simply ask.
"He was killed by Chen Long!"
Ling Yuhua sighed and said.
"The second son of the Chen family?"
Ling Xiao frowned, observing with the Tai Chi Eye, Ling Yuhua wasn't lying.
"That's right, although the Chen Family resides in Yuhua Town, you mustn't underestimate them. The Clan Leader of the Chen Family, Chen Canghai, is indeed the legitimate heir of the Chen Dynasty,
granted the title of Feather Transformation King."
Ling Yuhua explained.
"I know that, I only want to know, why did Chen Long kill my father?"
Ling Xiao asked again.
"Honestly, we don't know either. Back then, Chen Long and your father had an encounter at an inn, and after a disagreent, Chen Long killed your father.
As for the reason, we don't know. When we asked witnesses, they all said it was due to an argunt."
Ling Yuhua said helplessly.
"Heh, you are at least the clan leader of the Ling Family. Even if Ling Tieshou had no status, he was your adopted son, yet he was killed, and you did nothing?"
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Yuhua coldly and questioned.
Although he knew that Ling Tieshou wasn't killed by soone from the Ling Family, Ling Xiao's aversion to Ling Yuhua and the Ling Family did not diminish.
