Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Heading to Magic Capital

”Bad luck!”

Cursing, he rose into the air once again, and at last reached the shore, but he was already soaked through.

Even for martial artists, falling into water unexpectedly is always an embarrassing situation.

Ming Liu might not know that falling into water was just a minor punishment. The real trouble arose from the events that occurred the next day.

Ling Xiao didn’t make an appearance; he merely relayed what he had heard to Ji Ning.

Then, Ji Ning personally took action, and overnight, the so-called Seven Island Alliance vanished from this world.

The strongest martial artist of the Seven Island Alliance was at the First Cave Heaven Realm only, just like the Duke of Eastern Province.

But what about Ji Ning?

He was a powerful practitioner of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Originally, the Seven Island Alliance’s strength lay in their elusiveness; their exact location was unknown to others, so even powerful martial artists could not challenge them.

But Ling Xiao’s presence changed everything.

After Ling Xiao’s soul left his body, he completely pinpointed the location of the Seven Island Alliance. Then, with Ji Ning making a move, the greatest trouble of the Eastern Province was eradicated in one night.

To maximize the impact of this deterrence, Ji Ning hung the heads of all seven leaders of the Seven Island Alliance at the city gates.

This not only caused the citizens of the Eastern Province to rush about spreading the news joyously, it also terrified those who harbored thoughts of rebellion, making them loyally serve under Ling Xiao from then on.

As for Ming Liu, that waste, Ling Xiao didn’t kill him but kept him under house arrest.

This was perfect bait.

Whether it’s the Duke of Eastern Province or anyone else, if they wanted to rescue Ming Liu, they would fall into his trap.

Unexpectedly, a soul emergence incident had revealed a major conspiracy and resolved a significant problem.

This made Ling Xiao take his cultivation of the Soul Fragment Scroll even more seriously.

Half a month later, Ling Xiao emerged from seclusion. He had cultivated the Soul Fragment Scroll to the late stage of Night Traveller, allowing him to freely release his soul in environments without strong light.

He could also use his soul to perform some basic soul secret techniques.

Although his cultivation level had not broken through, nor had he gained new insights into the Light and Shadow Mystique, for Ling Xiao, his overall strength had definitely increased significantly.

”It’s time to go to the Heavenly Dragon Continent and deal with the True Demon Empire.”

Ling Xiao chose to move now because he knew very well that the balance had already been disrupted; with the death of Si Kong Zun, the True Demon Empire was left with only the Yin-Yang Demon King to hold the fort.

Now, the opportunity had presented itself.

Even if he couldn’t destroy the True Demon Empire completely this time, he intended to turn their empire upside down and then completely seize control of the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

If the Tian Li Meng was willing to submit, all the better; if not, he would have no choice but to forcibly dissolve it.

A king who creates an era must not possess mercy typical of women.

On this day, Ling Xiao departed from the Eastern Province towards the Heavenly Dragon Continent. However, he did not take the old route but instead headed towards the territory originally belonging to the Green-eyed Clan in the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

This place now served as the headquarters of the True Demon Empire, and was also where the Magic Capital of the True Demon Empire was located.

From a very young age, Ling Xiao knew that the lifestyle of the Green-eyed Clan greatly differed from that of the Sacred Dynasty, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. This time, it was quite an eye-opener.

After disembarking, Ling Xiao noticed that the architectural style here differed greatly from Tianfeng City and Yunkong City.

Of course, most significantly, the martial artists here seemed to prefer wearing armor.

There were plate armors, chainmail, leather armor, cloth armor, and many other types.

”Qin Huo, have your men find a place to secretly station themselves first. After we figure out the situation in the Magic Capital, we can launch an attack then.”

Ling Xiao this time came to Heavenly Dragon Continent not for leisure; within half a month, the military personnel in the Eastern Province had grown to a substantial number of one hundred thousand.

Most of them were the former armies of the Sacred Dynasty who rushed over upon hearing the news, ready to enter the battlefield directly.

These troops held great respect for Qin Huo, and it was best for them to be under Qin Huo’s command.

Ji Ning led ten thousand troops from the Northern Desert Army to guard the Eastern Province, while the other generals all followed Qin Huo.

There’s basically no danger now in the Eastern Province.

Moreover, even stepping back ten thousand steps, even if there were danger, Ji Ning would be safe there.

Thus, their main offensive direction naturally aimed at the True Demon Empire.

The Magic Capital of the True Demon Empire is adjacent to the sea, making it easiest to attack from the ocean.

However, due to the lack of information, Ling Xiao had Qin Huo’s army disperse into small units, secretly training on some deserted islands scattered across the sea.

Anyway, there are many deserted islands in the Stormy Ocean.

He led only Ji Mingkong and Leng Mei’s Dark Stinger squad of one hundred.

The Dark Stingers had also expanded in number and were still composed of elites.

”Then I shall take my leave first, Marshal. Please be careful.”

Now Ling Xiao is the Grand Marshal leading the campaign against the True Demon Empire, thus Qin Huo naturally referred to him as Marshal.

”Yes, I will be. Remember, most of the True Demon Empire consists of the Sea Race. Be extremely cautious in training on the deserted islands; do not let the Sea Race discover you, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Ling Xiao also reminded.

”Yes!”

After sending Qin Huo away, Ling Xiao had the Dark Stingers disguise themselves as ordinary people and blend into the city, as keeping so many people together was quite conspicuous.

He didn’t want to be discovered by others before even starting his mission.

Currently, only Sister Moon remained by his side; everyone else had their own duties and tasks to perform.

”Let’s go, Sister Moon, let’s first head to the Magic Capital to check out this ’Apothecary Association’. It’s said that the Apothecary Association was introduced only after the establishment of the True Demon Empire, which is considered a favor for our Heavenly Dragon Continent.”

The so-called Apothecary Association is a vast organization spanning the Mysterious World.

All Alchemists and classification of pills are managed by this association.

It’s said that the headquarters of the Apothecary Association is located near Heaven’s Chosen Gate, and the association is filled with experts.

Very few dare to offend this organization unless they are weary of life or think they will never need pills and medicines for the rest of their lives.

Ling Xiao’s aim in visiting the Apothecary Association was not to cause trouble; his goal was to obtain a Pharmacist License issued by the association.

With this credential, even nobles of the Imperial Palace must give you some courtesy, making any future endeavors much more convenient.

Of course, the Pharmacist License is also graded; the higher the grade, the better the effect and the higher the level of attention received.

Normally, people from the Sacred Dynasty are not well-regarded among the Green-eyed Clan and are always considered contemptible.

However, today, Ling Xiao faced a slightly different situation.

As long as he said he was an Alchemist seeking the Apothecary Association, these people immediately showed smiling faces and even a flattering expression.

It’s unavoidable; the profession of an Alchemist is respected and revered throughout the Mysterious World.

All Martial Artists cannot do without Alchemists.

Alchemist is a general term that includes Alchemists, Pharmacologists, physicians, and other healers, which also facilitates classification.

After all, every place has different names for Alchemists; if each had a different credential, it would create utter chaos.
