Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Sudden Incident

In the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly, the arrival of Ling Xiao brought an extra dose of joy.

Since becoming the chairman of the Revival Meeting, Wu Xiang, who rarely dared to drink, made an exception this time and had several hearty drinks with Ling Xiao.

During the banquet, of course, it was not just about drinking.

Ling Xiao and the Revival Meeting planned to cooperate, and this time the discussion was about the cooperation.

The Revival Meeting would act secretly, sneaking into Magic Capital to prepare for action.

Ling Xiao would lead the army in an attack from the outside.

Together, they had a definite possibility of destroying Magic Capital.

The specifics were very cautiously discussed by both parties, and it took a whole shichen to finalize.

After the discussion, Ling Xiao reluctantly left Lanton City.

Although he really wanted to stay a bit longer with Wu Xiang and the others, important matters were at hand, and he could not afford to delay here.

After leaving Lanton City, Ling Xiao originally planned to head directly to Magic Capital to continue his investigation.

To prepare for the leveling of Magic Capital.

However, halfway there, he suddenly remembered something very important that he hadn’t told Wu Xiang, namely about Jiao Batian, the current emperor of True Demon Empire.

Jiao Batian was an important chess piece; informing Wu Xiang would make their actions much easier.

After all, that was the emperor of True Demon Empire.

However, when he returned to Lanton City, he found something was amiss.

The time he left would definitely not exceed a quarter of an hour, yet Lanton City now felt completely different from before.

Although there were many Sea Race soldiers patrolling the streets of Lanton City before, they were just normal patrols.

But now the entire Lanton City seemed to be under martial law, even the street vendors were nowhere to be seen.

The whole city was enveloped in a dense cloud of gloom.

A storm was brewing.

Ling Xiao did not enter the city through the normal route as he realized it was not feasible.

Inside and outside the city gate, and atop the city towers, there were lots of soldiers guarding, as if facing a great enemy.

What exactly had happened?

Ling Xiao was worried.

He suspected that the events of last night had been exposed, leading the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly to be targeted.

If so, then the situation of Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly was extremely dangerous.

Ling Xiao used Shadow Step, skillfully avoiding those patrolling sentries, and headed towards Xianglong Business Firm.

Several people were lying in front of the Xianglong Business Firm, and although not dead, they were all bound and appeared very angry.

The sign of Xianglong Business Firm had been smashed long ago, weakly lying on the ground in pieces.

Ling Xiao’s frown deepened.

His worries had turned into reality; it seemed that Xianglong Business Firm really was in trouble.

Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened, he absolutely would not allow Wu Xiang to be in danger.

This person, although not related by blood, was more than a brother to him, and he absolutely would not allow him to come to harm.

”Ling Xiao, there are ambushes in the courtyard, but with your strength, you can handle them. Do you need me to take action?”

In the sky, Moon Lady asked with concern.

”Sister Moon, find Senior Brother Wu Xiang first. If he is alright, then there’s no need to intervene.”

Ling Xiao said.

”Okay!”

Moon Lady agreed, then flew towards the backyard of Xianglong Business Firm first.

With her there, at least Wu Xiang and the others wouldn’t have to worry about their lives.

Ling Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief, then kicked open the tightly shut door.

The moment the door opened, several feather arrows tore through the air towards him.

Tearing through the air, it shot fiercely towards Ling Xiao.

Facing the sudden attack, Ling Xiao’s expression was icy and indifferent, as if he hadn’t seen it at all.

A layer of reddish-gold light appeared on his body.

He continued to lift his foot and walk forward.

When the feather arrow was still more than a meter away from his body, it was as if it had encountered the sun, instantly turning into ashes without even leaving a drop of molten iron.

As the feather arrow turned to ashes, Ling Xiao’s figure had already approached the archer.

There were four archers, each firing two arrows.

Their cultivation level was all of Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, approximately around Taiji Heaven, and each was wearing the standard leather armor of Lanton City soldiers.

”Die!”

The cold voice came out from Ling Xiao’s mouth, as he approached the archer, four beams of light shot from his Tai Chi Eye, piercing through the throats of the four archers.

”Lord Ling Xiao!”

From behind the counter, a man covered in blood struggled to crawl out, shouting towards Ling Xiao.

His voice was hoarse and deep.

It was obvious that it was due to severe injuries.

Yet, his face bore a crazed expression of joy, seeing Ling Xiao as if he had seen a savior.

”You are the shopkeeper from before.”

Although Ling Xiao had only been to Xianglong Business Firm once, his memory was incredibly sharp; he clearly remembered this person, the shopkeeper of Xianglong Business Firm before.

Despite never having spoken a word to each other, Ling Xiao had firmly remembered him.

”Pfft—”

The shopkeeper spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking extremely weak.

Ling Xiao quickly took out a Rejuvenation Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, asking, ”What happened exactly? I’ve only been away for just a shichen, how did it become like this?”

”Don’t ask, Lord Ling Xiao, hurry to the backyard. The City Lord of Lanton suddenly went berserk, no one knows why, he just sent people to attack our Xianglong Business Firm. President Wu Xiang has been betrayed by a villain, poisoned and I fear he can’t utilize his full strength, the situation is critical.”

Those who engage in secretive deeds most fear betrayal by their associates.

Yet, betrayal is very common in this line of work.

It turns out Wu Xiang is still inexperienced or perhaps too trusting of others, hence he was schemed against and deceived.

Regardless of the reason, Ling Xiao absolutely would not allow Wu Xiang to have an accident.

Fortunately, Sister Moon has already gone there, Wu Xiang definitely won’t die, and this also made him feel somewhat better.

”Don’t worry, Wu Senior Brother is not that easy to deal with.”

Ling Xiao operated his energy to heal the shopkeeper.

Because he found that this person’s injuries were very severe, merely relying on the Rejuvenation Pill would not save him; he must operate his energy to heal him, otherwise he might really die.

Since Wu Xiang and his group were not in life-threatening danger, staying to help this person wouldn’t be a problem.

”Who is the traitor?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Gao Yangjun!”

The shopkeeper said through gritted teeth, ”This Gao Yangjun was originally a genius martial artist highly valued by the president, just thirty years old but his cultivation level has reached the Half-step Cave Sky Realm. But who would have thought that this guy would actually betray us, he deserves to die.”

”I’ll remember this name; he must die!”

Ling Xiao loathed traitors.

Even more than he loathed enemies.

”Anything else you know, tell me everything.”

Ling Xiao asked.

”There’s also, Lord Ling Xiao, be careful. The one who led the attack on our Xianglong Business Firm this time includes a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist, the Duke of Eastern Province from the Phoenix God Empire. This guy is very formidable. If the president wasn’t poisoned, he would definitely be able to kill him.

But now, it might not be the case.”

The shopkeeper answered.
