"Mountain Master, you really take deep breaths when you speak. That’s fine. I’ll go to the Yue Clan, and you focus on cultivating. Strive to eliminate Jian Liufeng so that you can completely rid your sister of the suffering from the Love Gu."
Ling Xiao said excitedly.
"Alright, from now on, I’ll reside in this villa and never leave, so you won’t have any worries. You can focus on your tasks."
Heiye Wuxing returned this ti from his mission, having learned that so many things had transpired.
Even his most cherished disciple had nearly fallen victim to harm.
Consequently, he resigned from his position as Hei Xianshan Mountain Master and sought the Sect Leader of Eight Immortals Mountain, taking on a casual position as Elder Supre.
He would only act in tis of crisis within the sect; otherwise, he would never leave again.
Such dedication from Heiye Wuxing, willing to confine himself in the small Eight Immortals Mountain for these young people.
Luckily, once a person has a goal, they won’t find it hard.
Afterward, Heiye Wuxing made a trip to the Yue Clan, arranging things for Ling Jiaojiao before returning to the villa.
He beca the villa’s most formidable bodyguard.
With him there, Ling Xiao could calmly focus on cultivation without being hindered by other matters.
After all, despite his exceptional intelligence, spreading his energy too thin would still lead to issues.
In just one more day, it would be the battle for the Shadow Black Gourd. Ling Xiao, although having broken through to the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Third Layer Hell Peak cultivation level.
Whether he can defeat An Feitian, who truly possesses the First Stage Four-Layer Hell Peak cultivation level, is still unknown.
He naturally desires to grow stronger.
The previous uproar within the Sword Clan benefited him greatly.
The previously dormant energy within his body re-erged significantly, now allowing him to reach the fifth stage.
Only upon reaching the tenth stage can he break through.
Hence, he must focus on cultivation for one day.
From that mont onward, Ling Xiao did not leave the villa again.
What occurred in the Sword Clan seed to be unknown to anyone, as no one dared to speak about it lightly.
However, none of that mattered to Ling Xiao.
What he desired was Jian Liufeng’s life.
Since Jian Kun destroyed the antidote for the Love Gu, his only option is to kill Jian Liufeng to solve the problem.
This is Jian Kun’s doing, and Jian Liufeng’s as well.
At dawn the next day, Heiye Wuguang arrived at the villa, taking Ling Xiao, Lin Yang, and Qing Luan Hua to the Dark Clan Hall.
Of course, only Ling Xiao held the qualification to contend for the Shadow Black Gourd.
Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua rely went to observe, as witnessing such high-level battles would yield substantial benefits.
In today’s Dark Clan Hall, aside from the Clan Leader and Grand Elder, an additional elder was present.
By observing his montum, Ling Xiao knew that this person was most likely the Dark Clan Elder.
Otherwise, how could his status be higher than Clan Leader An Yexing’s?
Frankly, the Clan Leader is rely the family’s manager, while the Elder holds true power, the boss behind the scenes.
The Dark Clan has only one elder, yet his strength is significantly greater than that of the Sword Clan’s counterpart.
When Ling Xiao looked at him, he briefly glanced at Ling Xiao as well.
With just this single glance, Ling Xiao felt as if the heavens were pressing down on him, nearly making him collapse to the ground.
Nevertheless, he did not kneel.
Even though his legs were making a "creaking" sound, as if the bones were on the brink of breaking.
He still did not kneel.
Considering his strong will, he wouldn’t concede to anyone. This elder sought to make him submit, but wasn’t qualified enough yet.
"Hmm?"
The Dark Clan Elder couldn’t help but utter a surprised sound.
Indeed, he had long heard nurous accusations against Ling Xiao.
Regardless of whether these accusations were true or false, having offended so many individuals, he believed Ling Xiao undoubtedly had faults.
Thus, upon his appearance, he aid to give Ling Xiao a harsh lesson.
After all, he is a powerful Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Layer Hell expert.
Thinking that casually, he could make Ling Xiao bow down and admit his mistakes.
Yet reality left him rather astonished.
He began to understand why this young lad had so many people reporting him.
Indeed, as the saying goes, being without anyone’s envy makes one a diocre talent, and perhaps, this fellow truly is a genius.
Ling Xiao didn’t know what the elder was thinking; he rely looked at this old man.
Clearly, looking very elderly, yet his hair and beard remained black and glossy.
His appearance was quite gloomy, which perhaps is the characteristic of the Dark Clan.
Once the elder withdrew his oppressive force, Ling Xiao started to feel slightly better.
The already cracked leg bone began to nd rapidly.
"Greetings, Elder!"
In front of this elder, even Heiye Wuguang acted extrely respectfully.
"Wuguang, I’ve heard that you’ve always wanted to adopt that Branch Family mber as your godson?"
The elder glanced at Heiye Wuguang indifferently and asked.
"Indeed, but sadly, the little chap doesn’t consent."
Heiye Wuguang shook his head helplessly.
"Oh? Then I’m curious to see what capabilities this young fellow has, daring to refuse becoming your godson."
The elder gave Ling Xiao another glance, then asked, "Is everyone here?"
An Yexing promptly reported, "All Inner Clan mbers, except those on tasks that they cannot return from, and those who previously participated in the contest for the Shadow Black Gourd are present.
Only Ling Xiao of the Outer Clan is here."
"Hmm, good that everyone’s arrived. Spectators should remain here, while the competing martial artists can now use the teleportation array to head to the Sacrificial Altar for the assessnt. Regarding the rules, An Yexing, please explain."
The elder nodded, then turned his gaze to An Yexing.
"As you command."
An Yexing cleared his throat and said, "The contest for the Shadow Black Gourd is very simple.
Once the contest begins, you will all enter inside the Sacrificial Altar’s space.
As for the exact location of the Shadow Black Gourd, you will need to find it yourselves. However, along the way to the altar’s depths, we have arranged prisoners in advance to block your path.
These prisoners are formidable and bloodthirsty.
I’ve inford them that if they manage to survive this contest, they will earn their freedom.
Thus, to save their lives, they will stop at nothing to eliminate their adversaries.
You must each kill at least ten prisoners and obtain ten "Extinguishing Sin Stones."
It’s essential to note that only those who are extrely malevolent will possess the Extinguishing Sin Stones, as they harbor powerful evil energies.
Only by killing them can the Extinguishing Sin Stones be extracted.
Having at least ten Extinguishing Sin Stones is necessary to qualify to touch the Shadow Black Gourd.
Moreover, to intensify the contest, you may engage in battles amongst yourselves during this process."
Upon hearing these rules, Ling Xiao’s brows furrowed.
As the sole contestant from the Outer Clan, while the others are all from the Inner Clan, they are likely to rally behind An Feitian.
If these individuals join forces against him, it would truly be a tough predicant for him.
And this ti, he fights alone, with no one to assist him.
Furthermore, their opponents aren’t puppets, nor are they Monster Beasts, but rather those heinous prisoners.
