Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1444: Chapter 1447 Raven Queen

”Hahaha, young people truly have courage, very good, excellent!”

Upon hearing Zongyu Huangquan’s words, Ji Ruolong couldn’t help but be stunned.

He was obviously cornered by Zongyu Huangquan’s remark.

Deep down, he didn’t intend for Ji Huangtian to fight desperately, especially against a genius like Zongyu Huangquan.

After all, even if he could win, it would be a pyrrhic victory with no real benefit.

It would just offend Penglai Fairy Island for no reason.

What is the point?

He spoke like that earlier, counting on Zongyu Jingjue, the Old Witch, not taking risks, hoping she would withdraw after recognizing the difficulty.

However, while he calculated Zongyu Jingjue’s intentions, he misjudged the current young people’s determination.

None of them would back down.

If Zongyu Huangquan didn’t dare to accept the challenge after his words, wouldn’t he just become a laughing stock?

If Ling Xiao were Zongyu Huangquan, he would definitely have to fight, as admitting defeat would collapse his martial arts path.

”Hehe, old man, you’re outdated, you really don’t understand young people’s thoughts nowadays.”

Zongyu Jingjue laughed, saying, ”This time the Five Immortal Islands are united, so let’s skip the life-and-death gamble, not because Penglai Fairy Island fears you, but because we don’t want the people of White Tiger Continent to laugh at us.”

Though her words sounded magnanimous, she simply did not want Zongyu Huangquan to take risks.

Even though Zongyu Huangquan’s talent was the strongest in Penglai Fairy Island, even more terrifying than her.

He is the best successor of Penglai Fairy Island in the future.

She believed Zongyu Huangquan might not necessarily lose to Ji Huangtian.

But after a life-and-death duel, even if victorious, he would be heavily injured, offering no benefits.

These people are clever; only fools would pursue unprofitable ventures.

Upon hearing Zongyu Jingjue’s words, Zongyu Huangquan seemed a bit disappointed, but he quickly became at ease.

”Ji Huangtian, during the Dragon and Phoenix selection, the Dragon and Phoenix List will be re-ranked; soon, it will be clear who is stronger. Today, I heed the Island Master’s words.”

Though Zongyu Huangquan wanted to fight Ji Huangtian now, Zongyu Jingjue’s words couldn’t be ignored.

This woman strictly taught him since childhood, leaving him unable to utter a strong word and only nod obediently in agreement in her presence.

Ji Huangtian originally had little interest in this battle, so naturally, he wasn’t disappointed.

Rather, those martial artists who betrayed Ling Xiao and pinned hopes on Zongyu Huangquan were disappointed.

Ling Xiao would have no sympathy for them.

Their demise would be deserved.

”Old Witch, you’d better leave quickly to avoid damaging the harmony between Holy Dynasty Immortal Island and Penglai Fairy Island, which would only please the White Tiger Continent people.”

Ji Ruolong suddenly said.

”Hehe, without seeing the Ancient Golden Crow and Ancient Heavenly Demon, I absolutely won’t leave.”

Zongyu Jingjue wasn’t afraid of Ji Ruolong, and Penglai Fairy Island wouldn’t fear Holy Dynasty Immortal Island.

Among the Five Great Immortal Islands, although battles were frequent, there never was a true fight to the death.

Even between the perpetually hostile Changle Immortal Island and Blackwater Immortal Island, there was no real battle employing all force on both sides, only personal vendettas and some assassinations.

The faces of Ji Family Members didn’t look good; Zongyu Jingjue not leaving clearly showed she didn’t trust their Ji Clan, ignoring them.

”Zongyu Jingjue!”

Ji Ruolong stared coldly at the noblewoman, saying, ”You better think carefully; you weren’t my match back in the day. If things get really tense today, you’ll still be no match!”

”Hehe, I almost forgot about those old days if you hadn’t mentioned them. If Ji Fulin hadn’t directed you, could you really have beaten me? Alas, such a hero and genius as Ji Fulin but made a despicable friend like you. His daughter’s disappearance surely has something to do with you?”

Zongyu Jingjue coldly sneered, bearing no fear toward Ji Ruolong.

It seemed she came prepared today.

”Impudent!”

The last thing Ji Ruolong wanted was for others to mention those past events; he desperately wanted to drive Ji Fulin away out of fear of him snatching the Island Master position.

Thinking now, if Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue were there, Holy Dynasty Immortal Island might have long unified the Five Immortal Islands, absolutely more powerful than today.

He unleashed a terrifying pressure, forcing it towards Zongyu Jingjue.

The atmosphere immediately turned tense, as if a terrifying battle could erupt at any moment.

Ling Xiao sighed internally; this truly was a divine battle, mortals would suffer.

Though it seemed discord brewed over there, either side could easily slaughter all the people here.

The power disparity was immense.

They had no room for negotiation, merely being treated like commodities waiting to be auctioned.

Such a feeling was unpleasant; Ling Xiao planned to remember it closely.

Because such a feeling could remind him of disgrace, prompting him to strive harder and cultivate seriously in the future.

”Hehe, we’re all friends, why fight amongst ourselves? There’s no need for that.”

Suddenly, hearty laughter came from afar.

Another group arrived, astonishingly composed of martial artists from Blackraven Empire.

The Blackraven Empire had notably arrived earlier than Phoenix God Empire.

Even the Raven Queen had descended.

Following her were several Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists, aside from Jiumo Zhiyan who once lost to Ling Xiao on the battlefield.

This lineup was indeed significant.

These years, Blackraven Empire had received support from a major force in White Tiger Continent, developing rapidly, far from Blackwater Immortal Island’s control, now equal in strength to any Five Great Immortal Islands.

Because of this, Raven Queen dared come here to vie for the Ancient Golden Crow and Ancient Heavenly Demon treasures.

The strongest forces of the Five Great Immortal Islands and Two Empires had three arrived; others likely were en route.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

He had grudges against Immortal Island Ji Clan for slaying Ji Ying and heavily injuring Nan Sha.

He held a grudge against Penglai Fairy Island for killing Sword Demon.

He also had a grudge against Blackraven Empire for killing Timmerman Muto and almost killing Jiumo Zhiyan.

Of the three major forces here, astonishingly, all had deep animosity toward him.

Raven Queen of Blackraven Empire seldom appeared; her coming to Holy Dynasty Immortal Island surely aimed at the Supreme Treasure, probably refusing to leave without acquiring something.

Ling Xiao sighed inwardly; the things coveted by these powerful forces were actually inside his body.

He dared not reveal this; otherwise, his life would be in grave danger.

”Raven Queen? Xi Lin Dai Er?”

Ji Ruolong furrowed his brows and said, ”Isn’t your Blackraven Empire a subsidiary of Blackwater Immortal Island—how dare you attempt to compete with us for the Supreme Treasure?”
