"Leaving now, don’t you think it’s a bit late?"
Shing!
A sharp sword qi shot out from Ling Xiao’s fingertips, piercing through the air and impaling the dark shadow’s throat.
This was Ling Xiao’s favorite spot to attack because no matter how strong a martial artist, as long as they’re still within the Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, once their throat is pierced, death is certain.
No blood flowed out.
What erged from the shadow’s body was black smoke, much like a cloud of demonic fog.
Bam!
A figure flew backward, directly nailing against the wall of the wedding stage.
The sound was loud, almost drawing everyone’s attention.
Ling You’s corpse was fully exposed in front of everyone.
The appearance of the Earth Demon was indeed distinctive.
They had dark skin, long ears, and slender bodies.
Their eyes seed to emit light, looking like beautiful gemstones.
They always carried various assassination tools on them.
A dagger was just one of them.
"Ling You is actually dead!"
Jian Mofeng was almost in a daze.
Jian Liufeng was also sowhat shocked.
After all, Earth Demons excel at assassination, with body structures different from humans, light and swift.
The most terrifying part is that they are required to kill one another from birth, leaving only the elite.
If they refine human martial arts and cultivate systematic assassination techniques, they beco truly terrifying.
Thus, Earth Demon Assassins are feared across any continent.
Ling Xiao had mostly encountered Heavenly Demons before.
Seeing an Earth Demon was rare.
Seeing an Earth Demon assassin, this was the first ti.
In the eyes of Jian Mofeng and Jian Liufeng, even if they were targeted by Ling You, it would be extrely dangerous, even a life-or-death situation.
Yet today, Ling You struck, only to be killed by soone?
Who exactly acted, they didn’t see.
Everything happened too fast!
"Is this a pet raised by Young Master Jian Er? Truly useless."
Ling Xiao smiled, clasping his hands towards Jian Mofeng.
"Did you kill him?"
Though Jian Mofeng could hardly believe it, he was furious.
To cultivate Ling You, they spent not only a lot of ti but also a lot of gold.
They even had death warriors specifically accompany Ling You for training.
Many of those death warriors naturally died.
With Ling You dead, their losses were indeed imnse.
At this mont, Jian Mofeng didn’t even think about what the exposure of the Earth Demon Assassin Ling You implied.
His mind was heated, consud by anger.
"That’s right, I killed him!"
Ling Xiao said calmly.
"You’re courting death!"
Jian Mofeng suddenly drew his sword and shouted.
Ling Xiao disdainfully looked at Jian Mofeng and said, "Ling You, an Earth Demon Assassin!
In Eight Immortals County City? No, I believe, even in the entire Western Region of the Black Tortoise Continent, there wouldn’t be too many.
This little Eight Immortals County City having one is already remarkable.
But unfortunately, today he was slain by , Young Master Jian Er’s anger is understandable."
"An Earth Demon Assassin, a terrifying existence that assassinated nurous human heroes during the Human-Demon War. In so ways, these creatures might be more terrifying than Heavenly Demons!"
"Over the years, there have always been mysterious killings of experts in Eight Immortals County City, even within Eight Immortals Mountain.
So were killed instantly, too late to leave anything behind, but so experts left behind obscure death ssages.
We didn’t know before but, upon pondering now, it likely relates to these Earth Demon Assassins."
They say onlookers love to watch the drama unfold.
The Sword Clan once did many unspeakable things with Ling You to vie for leadership among the Eight Great Families.
Now with Ling You exposed, these matters can no longer be covered up.
"Jian Mofeng, you better explain clearly, was it Ling You who killed our Zhen Clan’s Elder Chen?
Before dying, he left the word ’Ling’, which left us puzzled. But today, it finally makes sense.
His manner of death was almost identical to those killed by the Earth Demon Assassin."
The Clan Leader of the Zhen Clan, one of the Eight Great Families of Eight Immortals Mountain, stood up and shouted.
Although the Zhen Clan’s strength no longer matched those of the Sha Clan, Dark Clan, Sword Clan, and She Clan, being among the Eight Great Families, their strength couldn’t be ignored.
His seeking justice like this was a huge problem for the Sword Clan.
After all, the one who died was an elder of the Zhen Clan.
Elders are only second to the grand elder of a clan, and losing one is a significant loss.
Unfortunately, the Zhen Clan wanted revenge but had no idea who to seek vengeance upon.
They finally had a clue, filled with both rage and a sense of clarity.
Not just the Zhen Clan, but even the Kong Clan, Niao Clan, and Yue Clan among the Eight Great Families stood up to accuse.
In past disputes among the Eight Great Families, losses were inevitable.
If it was a rightful fight, so be it.
But being assassinated by an Earth Demon Assassin is a great humiliation.
How could they tolerate it?
Ling Xiao looked at everything indifferently from the side; this was quite an unexpected discovery.
He didn’t expect a re Earth Demon assassin to make the Sword Clan the target of everyone’s criticism.
"Haha, the Sword Clan is dood this ti. Boss, we probably don’t even need to step in."
Lin Yang was extrely excited seeing this scene.
"It’s useless, Clan Leader Jian Kun of the Sword Clan and Grand Elder Jian Ruchao are as crafty as foxes; if they want to deny responsibility, they will find a way."
Ling Xiao shook his head, knowing this wasn’t enough to destroy the Sword Clan.
Sure enough, Grand Elder Jian Ruchao of the Sword Clan suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and said, "A single Earth Demon assassin’s corpse, and you all slander my Sword Clan like this, can’t you see this sleazy conspiracy?
Clearly, soone is attempting to fra my Sword Clan and provoke an internal war within Eight Immortals Mountain."
"Heh, Hall Master Jian Ruchao, not only is your strength formidable, but you also have quite a thick skin.
Ling You appeared in the Sword Clan, even attempted to assassinate , is this also soone framing you?
If you didn’t bring him in, would a simple Earth Demon assassin not be detected by soone as powerful as Hall Master Jian Ruchao? How ridiculous."
Ling Xiao taunted with disdain.
Having already planned to fall out with the Sword Clan, he wasn’t afraid of offending any Vice Hall Master of the Inner Hall of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil.
"Presumptuous, today’s grand wedding, if you bunch can sneak in, then so can an Earth Demon assassin."
Jian Ruchao coldly said, "Do not fra our Sword Clan, or you’ll surely regret it."
"Is that a threat? Vice Hall Master, you’re truly impressive."
Ling Xiao said disdainfully, "Just now seeing Ling You’s corpse, I wonder what Young Master Jian Mofeng was so shocked about? So afraid of? Don’t tell a dignified martial artist is afraid of an Earth Demon?
Such a stupid reason won’t convince anyone present."
