The disheveled death-row prisoner exuded a dark aura that was chilling to the bone, making him seem not human but rather a devil from the Nine Nether Continent.
It was estimated that this fellow’s strength might be even more formidable than that of the woman in red.
"What’s the aning of this aggressive approach, everyone?"
Chang Yueying, who had sensed the danger early on, appeared at the entrance of the Moon Hua Sect’s temporary residence, looking indifferently at the group of people.
"Let Ling Xiao, Lan Yu’er, Leng Hao, and Dai Yuling roll out here for !"
The woman in red was extrely domineering and arrogant, showing no respect for Chang Yueying’s face.
In fact, her cultivation level wasn’t as high as Chang Yueying’s, but she dared to act this way solely because this was the Sword King Sect, and she was an Elder of the Sword King Sect’s Inner Sect and the master of Wu Zong Lian.
"When did the Sword King Sect lose all manners? Our Moon Hua Sect people are not soone you can see whenever you wish, are they?"
Chang Yueying sneered.
"Enough with the nonsense, those four killed hundreds of our Sword King Sect’s working staff at the Battle Beast Arena yesterday, among them were two Core Disciples. If it were you, would you not take revenge for such a grudge?"
The woman in red said in violent anger.
"Is that really what happened?"
Chang Yueying was taken aback.
She truly didn’t know about this incident at the Battle Beast Arena; however, Ling Xiao had gone too far, executing the Sword King Sect’s core disciples on their own turf. Wasn’t that a slap in the face?
Although the Sword King Sect had always been overbearing and had shown no respect to her, she had absolutely no fondness for them.
But this matter was of great concern, and she did not dare to decide on her own. After thinking for a bit, she called Tantai Lingzi over.
"Tantai, go and call Ling Xiao and the others. This incident from yesterday must be explained clearly face to face, so as to avoid creating unnecessary discord between the Sword King Sect and our Moon Hua Sect."
Ultimately, Chang Yueying was accustod to being at the bottom, as well as being bullied by the Sword King Sect and the Beast King Palace. Faced with such a situation, her first thought was not to argue on fair grounds, but to apologize and make ands first.
"Yes, Master!"
Although Tantai Lingzi didn’t know what the matter was, she dared not disobey Chang Yueying’s orders.
"There’s no need for that; we’ll find them ourselves. Who knows if you’re actually going to call them out or tip them off to escape!"
The woman in red didn’t take Chang Yueying seriously at all and was about to barge directly into the Moon Hua Sect’s temporary residence.
Chang Yueying hesitated for a mont but still stepped forward to stop her.
Her strength was much greater than that of the woman in red, and once she interfered, the woman in red had no way to proceed.
"There’s no need to be at odds over such a small issue. If you’re worried, you can have a few people follow my disciple."
Chang Yueying still presented a very low attitude. No matter what, she didn’t want to have a direct conflict with the Sword King Sect, because she truly lacked the courage and the boldness to do so.
"You three, follow her!"
Though the woman in red was domineering, she was here to cause trouble for Ling Xiao and the others, not to be at open enmity with the Moon Hua Sect. And besides, she knew she was no match for Chang Yueying and thus took a step back.
Three Sword King Sect Inner Sect Disciples of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer followed Tantai Lingzi into the temporary residence to find Ling Xiao.
At that mont, Ling Xiao was cultivating in his room.
Yesterday’s battle had been exhilarating, and he had gleaned quite a few insights from the experience. He needed ti to digest them.
However, just then, a sudden commotion of footsteps ca from outside the door. He wrinkled his brow and slowly opened his eyes.
"Ling Xiao, get the hell out here!"
This bellowing, an unfamiliar voice, didn’t regard Ling Xiao at all, utterly disrespectful as if calling out to a grandchild.
Bang!
The next mont, the door was kicked open, almost flying off its hinges.
This kind of behavior would be seen as an absolute provocation anywhere!
The disciples of Sword King Sect seem to think this is the Sword King Sect, so that’s why they can act so presumptuously, right?
Three people walked in from outside the door.
Tantai Lingzi smartly chose to stay outside the door.
She clearly understood Ling Xiao’s temper; entering the room in such a manner at this ti would be akin to seeking death.
"Are you Ling Xiao?"
One of them glanced at Ling Xiao with contempt and then asked.
"Get out!"
Ling Xiao didn’t respond but instead coldly barked an order.
"What?"
The three n looked at each other in disbelief, thinking this kid must be out of his mind—still so arrogant at a ti like this.
"Is it you who will get out on your own, or shall I help you?" Ling Xiao still sat there motionless and asked indifferently, gazing at the three n.
"You damn thing, how dare you speak to us like this! Don’t forget this is the Sword King Sect, not your Moon Hua Sect! You even dared to cause trouble in the Battle Beast Arena, and now you still dare to disrespect us three, you’re truly courting death!"
The three were not as proficient in cultivation as Ling Xiao, but their temper was even greater than his. Their arrogant deanor was as if they didn’t put anyone from the Moon Hua Sect in their eyes.
Of course, they had reason to act this way, for the one who brought them here was an Inner Sect Elder of the Sword King Sect. With such a powerful backer, how could they fear a re Ling Xiao?
"Out!"
Ling Xiao was already too lazy to waste words and waved his hand, a surge of robust True Essence burst out.
The three n had walked in, but they ended up being flung out.
"Brother Ling, the Inner Door Elder of the Sword King Sect has brought people to find you. It’s better not to engage them head-on. So matters can be resolved with a clear explanation."
Outside the door, Tantai Lingzi frowned and said.
She, just like her master, was typically the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Explain what?"
Ling Xiao countered.
"It’s about the Battle Beast Arena incident. Soone must have frad and conspired against you, intentionally damaging our relationship with the Sword King Sect."
Tantai Lingzi said.
"There’s no framing or conspiracy; the Battle Beast Arena incident was my doing! Hmph, I haven’t even co to them to seek an explanation yet, and they dare to co here!"
Ling Xiao snorted coldly.
"What! It was really you!"
Tantai Lingzi was utterly shocked.
She hadn’t really expected Ling Xiao to be so reckless and bold as to openly oppose the Sword King Sect; it was sheer madness.
"Do you know the consequences of your actions? The Sword King Sect might launch an attack on our Moon Hua Sect, and by then, the Moon Hua Sect might be completely erased from the Heavenly Dragon Continent!"
Tantai Lingzi said loudly.
"Is that so? You’ve never done such a thing, but over the years, the number of Moon Hua Sect disciples who have died at the hands of Sword King Sect disciples for no reason is not in the tens of thousands, then surely thousands, and the territories that belonged to the Moon Hua Sect and were annexed by the Sword King Sect are too nurous to count!"
Ling Xiao spoke coldly, "When others are bullying you at your doorstep and you still act this cowardly, it’s really disgraceful!"
He slowly stood up and walked towards the door, casting a disdainful glance at Tantai Lingzi, and then his gaze landed on the three Sword King Sect Inner Sect Disciples lying on the ground groaning, his eyes filled with a chilling intent.
"What do you want to do?"
The three were completely terrified. They hadn’t anticipated Ling Xiao’s power to be so terrifying, nor had they imagined that Ling Xiao would truly dare to lay hands on them!
