The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 743: Chapter 731: Blood Tiger Hall (Part 2)

As the saying goes, the literary is never first and the martial has no second. Upon hearing that Feiyun Pavilion wanted to claim a share in Capital City, and arrogantly at that, demanding others to bow their heads, the forty-three small factions naturally did not accept it.

However, Ling Xiao went ahead, challenging each house one by one.

He didn’t even need to make a move himself, instead, he let his brothers from Feiyun Pavilion do the fighting while he pressed the formation from the side. Among those forty-three factions, thirty-seven remained. What about the other six? They were caught by Ling Xiao for privately committing acts like forcibly taking women, exploiting others, selling Five Stone Powder for exorbitant profits, and engaging in vile, evil deeds, and were directly disbanded.

Ling Xiao was wronged by the most respected wife of his master being killed, framed with disgraceful charges, the master doubting him, the junior sister abandoning him, and the people of Jianghu calling for his head. That most humiliating and darkest period left a profound shadow on his heart, so when he encountered those who used malicious schemes, he took action mercilessly, directly crippling them.

The rest, of course, were not necessarily pure as water; it’s just that without conclusive evidence, he wouldn’t kill the innocent indiscriminately!

The leaders of those thirty-seven factions were no match for Feiyun Pavilion, especially when one of them tried to probe and found that Ling Xiao’s martial arts were far superior, who would dare to continue with an arrogance willing to die rather than be dishonored?

Being less skilled, they bowed their heads, thinking it normal.

Feiyun Pavilion, indeed, was stronger than them; admitting that does no harm since it’s a fact.

And if they don’t acknowledge, they cannot bear the consequences!

Imagine being challenged three times a day, beaten until you can’t stand up. Feiyun Pavilion adhered to proper Jianghu challenges, leaving no room for criticism, and during the fight, their moves were open and aboveboard, crushing with sheer force, eventually forcing them all to concede.

Admitting it, of course, isn’t just about acknowledging; it means that originally these factions divided a big pie, and now another one squeezed in to share, compromising their benefits.

Still, they thought, being merely small forces, unable to withstand is a fact, let it be shared!

Therefore, the leaders of those thirty-seven factions accepted that Feiyun Pavilion was stronger than them.

After challenging small factions, Feiyun Pavilion began challenging medium-sized ones.

The challenge of medium-sized factions was not as easy as that of small ones.

After all, they also have First-class High Tier experts stationed here.

Currently, the masters from Feiyun Pavilion in Capital City include only Ling Xiao at First-class High Tier; Ling Xiao didn’t care much, being exceptionally brave, those hardships had become wealth sharpening his will, even facing peers, he often wins unexpectedly.

Currently, Ling Xiao has challenged three medium-sized factions and earned their recognition.

These factions are ranked.

Initially, starting with small factions, Feiyun Pavilion fought its way to the first place, with some insiders believing they should settle now, thinking being first would be satisfying enough, right?

But now, having defeated three medium-sized factions, Feiyun Pavilion naturally deservedly became a medium-sized force and even climbed to fifteenth place.

Plum Blossom Hall, ranked fourteenth, was prepared, but Feiyun Pavilion directly issued a challenge to Blood Tiger Hall at tenth, skipping five factions at once.

If Feiyun Pavilion defeats Blood Tiger Hall, it will replace the tenth position. Plum Blossom Hall and several other forces certainly felt disrespected, while Blood Tiger Hall felt offended too, so rather than challenging one force, it provoked several.

Yet, since it’s a challenge, they don’t fear offending!

Just, Ling Xiao didn’t know whether Blood Tiger Hall was afraid of losing this time or sided with closely ranked factions, they accepted the challenge, but those ranked eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth also sent people.

This time, Ling Xiao brought only five people, two at First-class Middle Tier, and three at Initial Tier. Some brothers were injured in previous challenges, and others need to stay back at Feiyun Pavilion.

The headquarters of Blood Tiger Hall was imposing and stern, from the gate inside, Blood Tiger Hall members stood on both sides, only a foot and a half wide in the middle, swords drawn, glaring like tigers, each one’s eyes fixed on Ling Xiao’s group, faces unfriendly.

Ling Xiao didn’t care at all about this.

During previous challenges, few houses showed pleasant faces.

Even though challenging other Jianghu people is very normal, it is Feiyun Pavilion’s intention to establish a firm foothold, and in those forces’ eyes, it’s stepping on them to climb higher.
