Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1116: Chapter 116 Bigger Ambition

Fire Phoenix Clan Crown Prince’s Palace.

In the solemn and majestic great hall, today there is a touch of warmth and friendliness.

Three people sit in the hall, chatting and laughing heartily.

One of them, wearing a robe embroidered with a phoenix, looks dignified and noble, attire reserved only for the descendants of the Royal Family of the Phoenix God Empire.

Naturally, he is Crown Prince Feng Yingshan.

Sitting to his left is an old man with white beard, exuding an immortal demeanor, none other than Zhou Yun, the Dean of Qingxu College.

To his right, the person in a green robe appears young in age, but his aura in no way inferior to the other two, as if he possessed a domineering presence that commanded heaven and earth, demanding respect.

Of course, he is Ling Xiao.

Before Ji Ning and the others head to the Eastern Province, they need to make a trip to the Northern Desert, to join forces with the military and civilians in the desert, before they can proceed to the Eastern Province.

For the safety of these people, Ling Xiao also dispatched Xie Li.

With two powerful Yin-Yang Realm protectors escorting them, it is unlikely that any significant problems will occur.

After he returned to the city, he received an invitation from Crown Prince Feng Yingshan.

As for Feng Yingshan, he naturally had a favorable impression, and such a face must be given.

”Northern Territory King has given up Northern Desert City to go with you to the Eastern Province. The prince should not obstruct, but as a result, Fengming Qishan can now easily occupy the Northern Desert. In the entire Phoenix God Empire, there is almost nowhere his power cannot reach.”

Feng Yingshan is actually somewhat dissatisfied with Ji Ning’s actions, but he could not reprimand him, and could only subtly express his concerns.

Ling Xiao laughs and says, ”I’m afraid that what Prince Qishan gets is not a coveted prize, but rather a hot potato.”

”Why so?”

Feng Yingshan asked.

”Don’t forget Your Highness, Northern Desert City is facing the powerful Black Crow Empire. Now that I have killed Timmerman Muto and captured Jiumo Zhiyan alive, the Black Crow Empire won’t just sit by and watch. Once they invade, Northern Desert City will be the first to bear the brunt. With General Ji Ning’s meager military strength, it is simply impossible to hold them off. Let Prince Qishan be busy with this matter.”

Ling Xiao explained.

”Although that’s the case, Ling Xiao, you might not know, ever since Fengming Qishan took command of the troops, he has never suffered a single defeat, even more legendary than Ji Ning. If he can hold off the massive army of the Black Crow Empire, he will gain even more prestige and popular support.”

Feng Yingshan is still somewhat worried.

Ling Xiao says, ”Then let me help Your Highness secure an even greater achievement.”

”A greater achievement?”

Feng Yingshan is somewhat puzzled.

”For example, conquering the True Demon Empire!”

Ling Xiao speaks indifferently, ”The Eastern Province has been harassed by pirates of the True Demon Empire for many years. We have reasons to send troops. In cooperation with the army of the Northern Han Kingdom, it is not impossible to annihilate the True Demon Empire. Don’t forget, Si Kong Zun is dead, and now the True Demon Empire has only one Yin-Yang Realm power, the Yin-Yang Demon King.”

”That’s right, this time let’s see who accomplishes the greater feat.”

Feng Yingshan’s eyes suddenly brightened, ”Then I shall rely on you.”

”Why speak of relying on one another? Isn’t this the plan we had already agreed on before? Besides, to maintain the safety of my Eastern Province, I must do this.”

Of course, there are some things Ling Xiao will not say outright, like his plan to rebuild the Sacred Dynasty.

”So when do you plan to set off for the Eastern Province? Ask for whatever you need, and the prince will make arrangements for you.”

Feng Yingshan said.

”Of course, it’s weapons and armor, as well as medicinal materials and food supplies. With these, I have a way. As for the timing, basically, when Great General Ji Ning arrives at the Eastern Province, we can start. As for the specific time, I will inform His Highness then.”

In terms of military resources, Ling Xiao was not worried at all. You must know that many had fled from the Heavenly Dragon Continent to become pirates at sea or had been sold by the True Demon Empire to become slaves abroad.

These were precisely the military resources.

”Good! There should be plenty of time, no need to hurry. We must be sure to attack only when we are confident of victory; otherwise, a defeat would mean all our efforts were in vain.”

Feng Yingshan nodded.

”Of course, before launching the final assault, I plan to return to the Heavenly Dragon Continent once more. The True Demon Empire is about to host a Hero Conference for the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent, and that is an event I must disrupt!”

Ling Xiao revealed a fierce smile.

”Hehe, the True Demon Empire really hit bad luck encountering you.”

Feng Yingshan couldn’t help but wryly smile.

”Your Highness, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave first. I’ve come back in a hurry this time, and there are still many matters that I haven’t dealt with.”

Now that the main business was done, Ling Xiao knew that Zhou Yun and Feng Yingshan had other matters to discuss, so he found an excuse to leave.

”No problem, you should go ahead and attend to your matters. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to speak up.”

”Much thanks!”

Feng Yingshan and Zhou Yun personally saw Ling Xiao out of the palace.

Watching the departing figure of Ling Xiao, Feng Yingshan’s gentle gaze became sharp.

”Master, what do you think?”

Zhou Yun certainly knew what Feng Yingshan was asking about, and stroking his white beard he said, ”This Ling Xiao, his ambition is great. In the future, he may well become a formidable adversary for Your Highness. But for now, he is an excellent collaborator. Moreover, the matters he just mentioned are indeed very beneficial for Your Highness.”

”I wholly agree.”

Feng Yingshan nodded: ”Ling Xiao has managed to turn the tide with his exceptional wits and valor, destroying the Black Crow Empire’s army of over one hundred and twenty thousand and even killed Timmerman Muto and Feng Zhan, capturing Jiumo Zhiyan. Just this feat alone is enough to astonish me.

What surprises me most is that he eventually even killed Si Kong Zun.

This has alleviated an imminent crisis for me and has left me even more shocked.

This individual, I’m afraid even the small Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent can’t contain him. He and I, we have no conflict of interest.”

”Your Highness, have you never thought about unifying the Mysterious World?”

Zhou Yun asked with a smile.

”Not really.”

Feng Yingshan shook his head: ”I still have self-awareness. Among the Thirteen Continents of the Mysterious World, our Phoenix God Empire is second weakest. With our strength alone, trying to unify the Mysterious World would be a pipe dream. In fact, as long as we can reign supreme over the Five Immortal Islands and control the Heavenly Dragon, Divine Phoenix, and White Tiger Continents, that would be sufficient.”

”Your ambition is not small either.”

Zhou Yun said with a laugh.

”However, Ling Xiao’s ambition is probably much greater than mine.”

Feng Yingshan shook his head: ”Let’s take this one step at a time. For now, he is a valuable assistant to me, someone I absolutely cannot afford to offend. A lack of caution could turn him into an enemy.

His approach, as you’ve seen, Master, is one of zero tolerance. Anyone who provokes him, he will certainly not take it lying down.

Although I am not afraid of him for the time being, provoking such an individual is always troublesome, not to mention, in the competition for the position of the Emperor, I was already at a disadvantage.”

”It’s good that Your Highness understands this. Although Ling Xiao sometimes seems very cold-hearted, he is actually quite straightforward. Whoever treats him well, he repays in kind; whoever schemes against him, he will repay tenfold, a hundredfold.”

Zhou Yun expressed his approval.
