Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Hmm!”

Fengming Lian had been waiting for Ling Xiao to come and take her away.

The reason she hadn’t left on her own was simply to avoid causing trouble for Ling Xiao.

Now that Ling Xiao had come and taken the initiative to take her away, it meant he already had the capability to do so.

So, she had no reason to hesitate any longer.

With a charming smile, Fengming Lian floated gracefully to Ling Xiao’s side.

”Miss, you can’t leave!”

At that moment, a tall figure blocked Fengming Lian’s path.

He was a rare Yin-Yang Realm Second Layer martial artist from the Ice Phoenix Clan, entrusted by Fengming Xiao with the heavy responsibility of guarding Fengming Lian, and he absolutely would not allow her to leave the Imperial Palace.

He treated Fengming Lian almost like a prisoner, keeping her in a soft imprisonment.

”Move aside!”

Fengming Lian looked at the martial artist in front of her, frowning.

Her cultivation level had broken through to the Yin-Yang Realm earlier than Ling Xiao’s. Although reaching the Yin-Yang Realm First Layer had consumed her years of accumulation,

her aptitude was quite good, making her future cultivation path possible even if not as fast as Ling Xiao’s, still faster than most.

So facing this martial artist, she was confident in her ability to fight, and thus, she wasn’t afraid of him.

”I’m sorry, Miss, but that is impossible.”

The man shook his head resolutely.

”Get lost!”

Fengming Lian was about to say more when suddenly a thunderous voice resounded.

The martial artist blocking Fengming Lian was abruptly blasted away, crashing heavily into one of the Imperial Palace’s buildings.

Of course, he wasn’t dead.

Ling Xiao hadn’t killed him, as he wasn’t the type to kill indiscriminately, and this person didn’t deserve death.

Fengming Lian glanced at the man, then flew happily to Ling Xiao’s side like a joyous magpie.

Ling Xiao gently patted Fengming Lian’s head and smiled, ”From now on, stay by my side. The White Tiger Continent is full of excitement and more suitable for our cultivation.”

”Hmm!”

Fengming Lian nodded obediently.

Then Ling Xiao’s gaze turned toward the emissaries of the Tianhai Empire.

”What are you going to do? Do you dare attack me here in the Imperial Palace?”

Having witnessed Ling Xiao instantly repel the martial artist blocking Fengming Lian, the Red-Robed Envoy had lost all confidence.

He felt that this madman Ling Xiao would dare act even within the Imperial Palace.

Ling Xiao looked at him disdainfully, ”Heh, once such a respected emissary of the Tianhai Empire, weren’t your eyes way up in the sky before? When you oppressed the people of the Divine Phoenix Continent, you were so imposing. What’s wrong now? Afraid I’ll kill you?”

At that moment, many martial artists and civilians were watching from the outskirts of the Imperial City.

This was exactly what Ling Xiao wanted to say, to win over the people’s hearts.

He wanted to tell these people that what Fengming Qishan could not achieve, he, Ling Xiao, could.

What Fengming Qishan dared not do, he, Ling Xiao, dared!

Ling Xiao’s somewhat jarring voice caused the two emissaries of the Tianhai Empire to blush in shame.

Indeed, back when they bullied the people of the Divine Phoenix Imperial City, they were arrogant and high-handed.

Now, facing the powerful Ling Xiao, they didn’t even have the courage to resist, only to run.

The martial artists in the Imperial City had unpleasant expressions.

But the people outside the Imperial City were cheering joyously.

Initially not knowing what had happened, they all understood now.

It turned out Ling Xiao had come to avenge them.

”Kill those bastards!”

”Kill those pompous guys!”

”Cui Cui was literally killed by them!”

”And little Gou Dan, only seven years old, these two guys are beasts!”

Though Ling Xiao was the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, in the eyes of the people of the Divine Phoenix Imperial City, he was always a legendary hero.

Ever since he repelled the Black Crow Empire’s army at Northern Desert City, it had been this way.

”A bunch of ants, lowly commoners, kill them and so what?”

The Green-Robed Vice Envoy roared.

He couldn’t understand why Ling Xiao was so angry, after all, it was just a few lowly commoners.

In the eyes of such people, the lives of lowly commoners were worthless, treated as insignificant as someone stepping on an ant.

They had no sense of guilt at all.

Ling Xiao said nothing, raising his right hand, and a Shadow Cone shot through, piercing through gaps among dozens of people, instantly embedding itself in the Green-Robed Vice Envoy’s throat.

”To you, they may just be ants, but to me, they are my future people!”

Ling Xiao had sworn a mighty vow to unify the Profound Realm and establish a true Heavenly Dynasty.

Under this grand vision, all people could be considered his citizens.

He had the responsibility to save them.

Of course, correspondingly, these people also needed to strive for his cause.

It’s as simple as that.

”Ling Xiao, you’re too arrogant, this is the Imperial Palace of the Phoenix God Empire; don’t be so presumptuous!”

Seeing the Green-Robed Vice Envoy killed, some martial artists in the Imperial City weren’t willing to take it.

The speaker was a man around forty years old, appearing to be one of the Imperial City’s Imperial Guard Commanders.

His cultivation wasn’t bad, possessing a Half-step Yin Yang Realm strength.

But that level of strength, in Ling Xiao’s eyes now, was beneath contempt.

”Me, arrogant? Me, presumptuous?”

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

Back then, it was Fengming Wuliang manipulating behind the scenes, almost leading to the annihilation of the Northern Desert Army, and he was labeled a rebel.

If it weren’t for Moon Lady at that time, he would have died at Timmerman Muto’s hands and wouldn’t have seen this day.

Could the royal family back then have had him in their eyes?

Had even the tens of thousands of soldiers in their eyes?

Back then, wasn’t Fengming Wuliang more arrogant and presumptuous than now?

Back then the royal family, weren’t they the same as those emissaries today, seeing them as ants they could crush at any time?

”Yes, I am arrogant, and presumptuous, does that disturb you?”

Ling Xiao couldn’t be bothered to explain to these people, looking at the Imperial Guard Commander mockingly as he spoke.

”You!”

The Imperial Guard Commander wanted to curse Ling Xiao, but suddenly found himself unable to speak.

If Ling Xiao could easily kill the First Level Yin Yang Realm Vice Envoy, what was he worth?

Unconvinced?

Even if unconvinced, he had to hold it in!

He turned his head to Feng Yingshan, respectfully saying, ”Reserve Monarch of Hidden Mountain, His Majesty the Emperor isn’t here. You must defend the royal family’s honor. Your strength isn’t inferior to Ling Xiao’s. He has committed a capital offense; why not kill him?”

But his words actually violated a taboo.

Someone like Feng Yingshan despised being used by others.

He might endure Fengming Qishan, but he couldn’t tolerate one of Fengming Qishan’s dogs.

”Royal family’s honor?”

Feng Yingshan sneered and said, ”From the day Fengming Qishan declared himself Emperor without an election, the royal family’s honor became a joke.”

He wasn’t foolish, and wouldn’t become an enemy of Ling Xiao for Fengming Qishan.

This is politics, after all.

Others’ lives meant nothing to him; he only cared about his own interests.
