Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185: A Chance Encounter with Yun Ya

”Changle Immortal Island actually acknowledges the existence of these underworld forces; it seems that the Five Immortal Islands aren’t exactly virtuous birds either.”

Ling Xiao murmured thoughtfully, his eyes suddenly darting in a direction inside the Black Wind Building.

The originally tranquil crowd suddenly became agitated as if something had happened, or perhaps a personage of great importance had appeared.

Through the dense throng, Ling Xiao caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

It was still that graceful bodice.

Still that composed gait.

Still that noble smile.

This figure made many men rush towards her like beasts in heat, drawn by her scent.

The woman, beautiful as blooms, frowned slightly with her peach blossom eyes, clearly having a natural aversion to the males attempting to approach her.

However, when her gaze landed near the entrance of the Black Wind Building, she was startled and stood frozen on the spot.

Her attention was entirely captured by the youth in white with black hair.

As the most dazzling pearl in the hall, her every move clearly caught the attention of those around her.

Seeing Princess Emma Ya Cloud’s gaze resting upon Ling Xiao, and the knowing smile that appeared, many male martial artists felt as if their hearts were being scratched by a cat; uncomfortable and yet coupled with a strong sense of jealousy.

”That is Princess Emma Ya Cloud whom I met in the Holy City’s auction house; she helped me a lot in the Divine Phoenix Capital,” Ling Xiao said, smiling as he introduced her to Moon Lady and Leng Mei by his side.

A moment later, the cheerful sound of footsteps approached, and Princess Emma Ya Cloud fluttered to Ling Xiao’s side like a beautiful magpie.

”Young Master Ling, who would have thought? Just a few months apart and you’re still as sharp and striking as a sword’s edge! I heard you became the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty? It’s a pity that due to work, I visited Changle Immortal Island and couldn’t witness your valiant battles in the Divine Phoenix Capital and Magic Capital.”

Princess Emma Ya Cloud had long heard about Ling Xiao’s enviable achievements.

She had always wanted to meet and have a proper talk with Ling Xiao, but work obligations constrained her.

She appeared very excited, even trembling slightly with her delicate body, stirring pity in many onlookers who couldn’t help but wish to hold her in their arms.

”Princess Emma Ya Cloud has also become increasingly mature and charming, to the point where even this greenhorn can’t help but drool a little,” Ling Xiao said with a laugh: ”Let me introduce you, this is Moon Lady, you should recognize her, and this other person is Leng Mei, you’ve met her before.

A charming fragrance emanated from Princess Emma Ya Cloud.

It must have been from a particularly fine perfume, not tacky but equally captivating.

”I have had the pleasure of meeting Her Highness Moon Lady! And Sister Leng Mei!”

Princess Emma Ya Cloud had great respect for Moon Lady.

To her, Moon Lady was an unattainable idol, yet now she found her casually by Ling Xiao’s side, which amazed her greatly.

And there was Leng Mei, with a tenacious and indifferent spirit, yet willingly becoming Ling Xiao’s servant, which was truly inconceivable.

”I’ve seen Princess Emma Ya Cloud!”

Leng Mei greeted with a bow of her hands.

Moon Lady, however, merely nodded slightly.

If it were not for Ling Xiao, she probably wouldn’t bother with Princess Emma Ya Cloud at all since as a powerhouse of the Yin-Yang Realm, she stood as one of the most formidable beings on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, Divine Phoenix Continent, and even the White Tiger Continent.

”I just heard that Mang Xiao’s subordinates were killed, by a young swordmaster named Ling Xiao. I thought it might just be someone with the same name, but it turned out to actually be you,” Princess Emma Ya Cloud commented, looking at Ling Xiao again with a hint of concern.

But Ling Xiao just laughed and said, ”Correct, the slayer is indeed Ling Xiao. That Mang Xiao could not control his own underlings, and one dared to sneak attack me. I disposed of him with ease.”

”Ling Xiao, since you’ve encountered Mang Xiao, you must already know about the Black Python Clan’s power, right?”

Yun Ya asked.

”Yes, I’ve heard it’s a black market power backed by default by Changle Immortal Island, and their Clan Elder is quite formidable.”

Ling Xiao nodded and said.

”Since you know that, you should understand that there’s no good end to provoking the Black Python Clan. How about I act as a mediator and try to negotiate peace between you?”

Yun Ya pondered and suggested.

”It seems Princess Emma Ya Cloud has forgotten that I am now not only the King of Heavenly Dragon of the Phoenix God Empire but also the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty. The one who should regret is not me, but the Black Python Clan!”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Yun Ya was stunned for a moment.

It took her a long time to suddenly realize the true meaning of Ling Xiao’s words.

If there is to be reconciliation, it should be the weaker party seeking peace with the stronger one.

At this time, the weaker party is not Ling Xiao, but the Black Python Clan.

”Understood.”

Yun Ya smiled, no longer insisting on reconciliation. Suddenly, she remembered the days at the Phoenix God College.

Back then, Ling Xiao was not as powerful as he is now, his influence was less, but he still killed the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord and completely suppressed the pill business of the Phoenix God College, enabling Qingxu College to rebirth from its ashes.

The Ling Xiao of today is obviously more calm and mature than before, and with the support of a powerful background, it’s not likely that he would fear the Black Python Clan.

”By the way, Princess Emma Ya Cloud, what brings you here? This place is full of vicious brutes. Aren’t you afraid they’ll devour you?”

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

Yun Ya shook her head helplessly, ”It’s a mission assigned by headquarters; they sent me to Crime City to be the auctioneer for Black Wind Building’s auction event.”

”The Black Python Clan has quite some influence, to be able to get in touch with the headquarters of your Heavenly Dragon Commerce Association, huh?”

Ling Xiao was slightly surprised.

”It’s not exactly that; probably my superior is flaunting borrowed power. He’s in Changle Immortal Island, in charge of all business operations for both the Heavenly Dragon Continent and Divine Phoenix Continent and naturally has the authority to dispatch me.”

Yun Ya sighed.

”It sounds like you’re not too happy about it?”

Ling Xiao inquired.

”Can I be happy? There are too many shameless scoundrels in Crime City, and their verbal indecency is truly unbearable,” Yun Ya said helplessly, ”How about we find a place to talk? You’re here for the auction today, right? I’ll arrange a VIP room for you.”

”Sure, standing around here, almost being treated like a rare animal.”

As Ling Xiao was talking to Yun Ya, the gaze of the surrounding people almost never moved, continuously staring at them intently.

”The three of you, please follow me,” Yun Ya made an inviting gesture and then led the way toward a staircase.

This staircase was entirely made of exquisite white jade, truly luxurious.

There were six guards standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking over their shoulders at Ling Xiao and the two others following Yun Ya, their eyes filled with vigilance.

”Princess Emma Ya Cloud, without the Building Master’s consent, no random persons are allowed to go up,” one of the guards said, blocking the way for Ling Xiao’s group, speaking to Yun Ya.

”If there’s trouble, I’ll take responsibility. Aren’t you aware that I have this privilege? If it’s not okay, then I will turn around and leave right now, and won’t make things difficult for you all,” Yun Ya said lightly.
