Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1324: Shameless Scoundrel

”Holy Son? The only Holy Son I know is Victoria Mingkong. I’ve never heard of someone called Ji Mingxing. What mutt dares to claim the title of Holy Son?”

Ling Xiao’s words were utterly disrespectful to Ji Mingxing.

He also showed no respect to Phoenix Immeasurable.

On Phoenix Immeasurable’s aged face, his forced smile instantly transformed into awkwardness and fury.

Ling Xiao again!

That damned fellow—at the most critical times—always emerges to ruin his plans. Could he truly be his fated nemesis?

The last time, he’d plotted to eliminate Ji Ning, only for Ling Xiao to interfere, thwarting his plans and even costing him Si Kong Zun.

This time, as he was pushing to groom Ji Mingxing and win over the Great Sun World Lord, Ling Xiao appeared once more.

Is this kid’s reason for living nothing more than opposing him?

He was enraged, but a glance at the Moon Lady in the crowd reminded him that Si Kong Zun hadn’t even lasted one move against her. He begrudgingly swallowed his fury.

”If only the Ancestor were willing to intervene.”

He silently wished in his heart.

But he knew it was an unrealistic hope—every time the Ancestor made a move, his lifespan would decrease by several years.

Such power could only be used at the most critical moments.

Like the last time during the scramble for the Imperial Jade Seal.

But for today’s incident, he was sure the Ancestor wouldn’t step in.

Gritting his teeth, Phoenix Immeasurable suppressed his urges to kill Ling Xiao.

If he couldn’t kill him, then he’d silently watch how things unfolded.

He believed there was someone here angrier than himself—none other than the Great Sun World Lord.

The Great Sun World Lord, in his entire life, had taken only one disciple, nurturing him as one would a precious gem.

Should Ling Xiao dare harm him, the Great Sun World Lord wouldn’t let it slide.

”Hmph, Victoria Mingkong has already been rendered useless by this Holy Son. What qualifications does she have to claim the title anymore?”

Ji Mingxing sneered coldly.

”Interesting. By that logic, if someone were to incapacitate you, would you then lose your qualifications as well? Very well, if that’s the case, then this will be simple.”

Ling Xiao’s gaze grew even more murderous.

Many visitors newly arrived at the Imperial Capital were left wide-eyed at the scene.

Ling Xiao was here to disrupt Ji Mingxing’s marriage, yet Ji Mingxing hadn’t immediately retaliated to destroy him. Even Emperor Phoenix Immeasurable remained silent.

What did this mean?

Could this man possibly command something so substantial that even Phoenix Immeasurable held his tongue?

In truth, it was the Great Sun World Lord’s apprehensions.

Normally, had anyone dared humiliate his disciple this way, he would’ve already acted. But today, he sensed Phoenix Immeasurable’s peculiar attitude, so he held his silence—at least for now.

Ling Xiao turned his attention to Fengming Lian, who was cradled in Ji Mingxing’s arms, and asked indifferently, ”Do you truly wish to marry him?”

It was a question he had to ask.

After all, this girl was the daughter of his senior brother, Wu Xiang. He needed clarity.

”I do!”

The voice was crisp, but to Ling Xiao’s ears, it sounded mechanical.

Tai Chi Eye!

Ling Xiao suddenly activated the Tai Chi Eye and gazed beneath the red veil.

Only then did he realize that beneath the veil, Fengming Lian’s eyes were vacant—she had clearly fallen victim to someone’s illusion technique, trapped in an Illusion Realm.

She could only mechanically reply to others’ questions.

It appeared that Fengming Lian herself had no desire for this marriage.

”Whoosh!”

Before anyone realized it, Fengming Lian had already been whisked into Ling Xiao’s arms.

”Ling Xiao, your actions are excessive, aren’t they? Today is Ji Mingxing and Fengming Lian’s wedding day. Even if there are personal grudges to settle, must it not wait until tomorrow?”

Finally, Harry Peng, Prince of Phoenix, couldn’t bear it any longer and stepped forward to speak.

”Shut up!”

A thunderous roar, infused with potent killing intent and domineering atmosphere, stunned Harry Peng into silence.

The mighty Sky Roc Prince couldn’t even utter another word in Ling Xiao’s presence.

The crowd stood dumbfounded.

Looks like the rumors were true—Ling Xiao was terribly fearsome. If he could silence Harry Peng with a single shout, his rank in the Phoenix God Empire was surely within the top ten.

”Brother Ling has grown even more formidable.”

Joshua Long’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

”And that’s not even all. The real spectacle is yet to come. But of course, the prerequisite is whether the enemies can actually force him to use those techniques.”

Leng Mei remarked coolly.

Joshua Long had no doubts about Leng Mei’s words.

He too was eager to see just how powerful his Brother Ling had become.

Ling Xiao reached out and unveiled Fengming Lian’s veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful and noble visage to all.

Only her gaze remained slightly vacant.

”Great Sun World Lord, Sir—among my seniors, you hold a position of respect. Surely you wouldn’t force someone to marry your disciple, would you? Fengming Lian’s current state clearly indicates she’s under someone’s illusion technique, manipulated into docility. Do tell—do you still intend for this wedding to proceed?”

Ling Xiao’s words to the Great Sun World Lord were calm.

He intended to show some courtesy to the Realm Lord.

If the man truly lived up to his reputation for uprightness, Ling Xiao would consider sparing Ji Mingxing today, as a show of respect for the elder.

But his hopes were dashed.

The Great Sun World Lord’s lips twitched slightly.

He replied icily, ”I don’t know about illusion techniques or anything of the sort. But today is the auspicious day for my dear disciple Ji Mingxing’s wedding, and you dare storm in spouting nonsense. Do you believe, even for a moment, that I might let you off?”

”Haha, I see now. I’d heard the Great Sun World Lord was adept at the Crimson Sun Illusion Technique and possessed the Red Sun Eyes. It all makes sense now. So, the person who cast the illusion on Fengming Lian—isn’t anyone else but you, isn’t it, you old scoundrel?”

Ling Xiao laughed mockingly, his respect for the Great Sun World Lord entirely gone. The term ”elder” was immediately replaced with ”old scoundrel.”

”Utter nonsense!”

There was no way the Great Sun World Lord would admit to such accusations.

After all, in the Jianghu, his reputation leaned highly positive. Under no circumstances would he accept blame for such sordid deeds.

”Nonsense?

You think your Crimson Sun Illusion Technique is unrivaled, beyond anyone’s ability to break?

Let me allow Fengming Lian herself to share her thoughts!”

As Ling Xiao finished speaking, his Tai Chi Eye rotated, filling with righteous qi and immense soul power that surged into Fengming Lian’s Spirit Sea.

Within her Spirit Sea resided a fiery illusion of a crimson sun.

That construct was the root cause of her entrapment in the Illusion Realm.

”Destroy!”

The Mountain and River Martial Soul feared no illusion techniques!

The overwhelming righteous qi collided with the fiery orb, shattering it instantly.

Fengming Lian regained her clarity.

”You helped me break the illusion?”

She looked at Ling Xiao, baffled.

”That’s correct. Now, can you tell me who cast the illusion on you?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Him!”

Fengming Lian pointed straight at the Great Sun World Lord, her haggard face filled with rage. ”It was him who forced me to marry his disciple. Not only him but Emperor Phoenix Immeasurable was involved too. I don’t know why they did this, but I’ve never liked that arrogant, reckless, and ungrateful scoundrel!”

”So that’s the truth!”

An uproar rippled through the crowd.

No one could have imagined the marriage would spiral into such a scandalous affair.
