"Let's go, kill Yuan Neng, we'll deal with that kid later!"
The four who had just harbored intense hatred for Ling Xiao, greedy for his Storage Ring, now feeling Yuan Neng's presence, surprisingly chose to temporarily give up on Ling Xiao.
After all, the possessions in the Storage Ring of a Martial Artist at the First Layer Hell Pinnacle cultivation level are worth far less than even one-tenth of what Yuan Neng has.
"Go? Where are you planning to go?"
However, at this ti, Ling Xiao, who had been silent, spoke up.
In fact, he had been waiting for this mont. As soon as these four made a move, he intended to take them out on the spot.
This would show everyone his prowess, ensuring no one would dare beco his enemy in the battles to co.
But Yuan Neng's sudden appearance caused these four to temporarily give up their attack on him, though it sounded like they intended to deal with him later.
Ling Xiao was not one to passively take a beating and wait for them to settle scores later.
If killing was the goal, it had to be done now.
Besides, these guys weren't from Sha Hai, they didn't have a powerful backer like the Sha Family, so even if he killed them openly, it wouldn't matter.
"What did you just say?"
One of the four turned his head to Ling Xiao, asking coldly.
"I said you're not going anywhere, if you want to attack , you'll have to pay the price!"
Ling Xiao said indifferently.
"Hahaha, this kid must be insane. Zhang, Wang, Zhao, and Li, these four Elder Brothers are experts of Red Immortal Mountain and Zixian Mountain. They may not be as strong as Master Sha Hai, but they're not far off either!
Apart from Master Sha Hai and Cheng Feiying, they're the strongest around.
The fact they're not dealing with you should be a relief, yet you dare to be so arrogant?"
The laughter ca from Red Yan Er.
No one knew when she had arrived with nine disciples from Red Immortal Mountain.
Probably soone notified her.
"Heh, really a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing. These guys want to rob my Storage Ring, and your people from Red Immortal Mountain want to kill . You're all birds of a feather."
Ling Xiao sneered.
"What nonsense, the four Elder Brothers are stronger than you, so they deserve the spoils of war!
You refuse to hand it over and ignore them, that's rebellion and insubordination, you're asking for death.
The fact they haven't killed you and just want to take your things is already a big concession to you."
Red Yan Er said righteously.
"Just because they're stronger than ? They can rob ?"
Ling Xiao laughed and asked.
"Of course, that's the grand principle of the Mysterious World!"
Red Yan Er nodded.
Many onlookers around also looked at Ling Xiao with mocking smiles.
It seed as if they were saying Ling Xiao was too naive to not know such basic rules, yet dared to wander the Jianghu?
"Hehe, what a grand principle of the Mysterious World. By your logic, if I'm stronger than them, I can take their Storage Rings?"
Ling Xiao suddenly laughed.
"Just you? Take a piss and look at your own reflection! Don't think just because you ambushed and killed Feng Yu, you're sothing special. In front of these four Elder Brothers, you're worth nothing!"
Red Yan Er's words were both a mockery and an incitent.
She hoped Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao would kill Ling Xiao.
"So Miss Yan'er checks her reflection every morning by taking a piss? If you're so poor you can't afford a mirror, I'll give you one."
Ling Xiao let out a cold laugh.
"You! You scoundrel, how dare you insult !"
Red Yan Er was furious.
"Insult you? I'll kill you too! I didn't expect you'd walk right into it!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent. He calculated that Yuan Neng would arrive in about ten minutes.
And in that ti, he could eliminate the likes of Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao.
Of course, this included Red Yan Er and those disciples from Red Immortal Mountain.
Soon chaos would reign here, and Ling Xiao predicted few would leave this trial alive.
Yuan Neng was truly formidable.
Even if soone survived, they couldn't prove it was him who did the killing, and he would never admit it.
Such a large Sect needed to maintain face. Even if they did dirty deeds behind the scenes, on the surface, evidence was needed for conviction.
Without evidence, no one could make him confess.
Having figured this out, Ling Xiao no longer cared about being seen. Today, he would kill to his heart's content.
"Junior Sister Yan'er, do you have a grudge with this kid?"
Elder Brother Zhang asked among the group of Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao.
"It's this kid who hit back in the Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall and then hid, refusing to co out."
Red Yan Er nodded.
"Alright then, it'll be about ten minutes before Yuan Neng arrives. I'll help teach this kid a lesson."
Elder Brother Zhang said with a fawning smile.
"Great, thank you, Elder Brother Zhang! If you can help kill this guy, I'll let you kiss !"
"Junior Sister Yan'er, don't forget !"
"And !"
"We'll all help you!"
These four were truly sycophantic. Previously, it was because they coveted Ling Xiao's Storage Ring.
Now, however, besides the Storage Ring, they had another reason—to please Red Yan Er.
"Okay, let's all go at once, and whoever can take out this kid first gets his Storage Ring!"
Elder Brother Zhang suddenly said.
The original cooperation instantly turned into competition.
All for the Storage Ring, and more so for a chance to win her favor.
After all, Red Yan Er was Chi Lian's daughter, usually high above others. Even touching her hand made people tremble, let alone getting a kiss.
Now, with such a great opportunity, who would want to miss it?
They seed to completely overlook Ling Xiao, as if he didn't exist.
"Alright, let's see who can move the quickest!"
Elder Brother Li finished speaking and suddenly charged forward.
The other three cursed him for being cunning and followed closely, rushing toward Ling Xiao.
At this spectacle, Red Yan Er's face showed a scorpion-like cold smile.
She believed Ling Xiao was dead for sure this ti.
Even Sha Hai would have to weigh his options against these four, not to ntion Ling Xiao.
Most onlookers also seed to have a schadenfreude expression.
Only the Lin Family felt a twinge of emotion; regardless, Ling Xiao was close to them, and seeing him about to die this way saddened them.
Lin Yang was healing his injuries, unaware of the situation outside.
He trusted Ling Xiao imnsely, believing he could handle all troubles, which allowed him to concentrate wholeheartedly on healing.
At this mont, Elder Brother Li was very excited.
Because he acted first, he was confident he could attack Ling Xiao the fastest.
But suddenly, he heard the swishing of a blade from behind.
Elder Brother Li was startled, quickly dodged, and turned back to see Elder Brother Zhang behind the attack.
"Zhang, are you crazy, attacking ?"
Elder Brother Li cursed.
