Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Supreme Immortal! In places where mercy can be shown, let mercy be shown. This female benefactor, why insist on cornering someone on the path to death?”

When the Moon Lady shattered the void, intent on executing Xuan Ming.

Someone else arrived.

A person dressed as a Taoist, emanating an immeasurably powerful aura, as if an Immortal walking from the Immortal Court Continent.

”Today is lively indeed. I did not expect One Brow Taoist from the Zhengyi Sect to come as well. Is it that your sect also wishes to wade into these troubled waters?”

Ling Xiao’s pressure eased significantly at this moment because the Skysea King, sensing Xuan Ming’s defeat, was preparing to flee, thereby relaxing his attacks.

Thus, he had the opportunity to observe the newcomer.

It was One Brow Taoist of the Zhengyi Sect.

And behind him stood another eleven people.

These people were the strongest within the Zhengyi Sect—the Twelve True Men.

The Zhengyi Sect proclaimed themselves akin to the Twelve Human Immortals under the former King of People, yet their power could not compare.

Thus, they named themselves Twelve True Men.

Naturally, One Brow Taoist led them.

The other eleven were experts in the Reincarnation Realm.

This truly represented the actual strength of the Zhengyi Sect.

They were not weaker than the Xuanwu Divine Hall, merely unable to rival those sects on the Xuanwu Continent. Hence, the Zhengyi Sect had continually kept a low profile, watching others fight while slowly recruiting disciples.

Until now, the Zhengyi Sect had become a sect nearly all Empires on the White Tiger Continent revered.

If they continued as such, perhaps one day they might truly evolve into one of the leading sects in the Mysterious World.

Unfortunately, One Brow Taoist chose a decision that altered him and the Zhengyi Sect’s future.

He believed when the White Tiger Continent was chaotic, and the Xuanwu Divine Hall weakened, it was time for the Zhengyi Sect to rise.

Thus, they could seize control and truly hold the White Tiger Continent in their grasp.

Because of this, he initially refrained from acting, merely observing the Moon Lady, hoping the matter could resolve peacefully, granting him face.

Of course, should the Moon Lady disagree, he was not against taking action.

The Twelve True Men of the Zhengyi Sect were not merely a name; they were genuinely strong!

”Ling Xiao, it’s better to resolve enmity than compound it. You’ve already avenged yourself by killing the Green Hills Queen and destroying the Sea Clan Tribe. Why insist on further slaughter?”

One Brow Taoist looked at Ling Xiao, speaking with a hypocritical righteousness.

”Withdraw? Then you lead the Zhengyi Sect to incorporate the White Tiger Continent into your realm? How am I so foolish, and you so clever?”

Ling Xiao detested hypocritical people the most, saying one thing and doing another, yet always finding a rational reason for their vile and filthy actions.

”Does that mean there’s nothing to discuss?”

One Brow Taoist said lightly, ”You should understand, while your woman is powerful, against the twelve of us, there is no chance of victory.”

Ling Xiao frowned.

Silent for a moment.

He had to admit there was sense in One Brow Taoist’s words.

The sudden emergence of these twelve was exceedingly strong; relying on the Moon Lady alone, she could not possibly be their match.

Though Ling Xiao loathed such people, he had to consider the safety of the Moon Lady and others.

Taking a deep breath, he looked toward One Brow Taoist and said, ”I can withdraw, but the Skysea King and his son belong to me!”

”Agreed!”

One Brow Taoist would not clash with Ling Xiao over a Skysea King.

But he proposed a harsher condition: ”You can have the Skysea King, but Jiutian Meng and Jiutian Lu must be taken by our Zhengyi Sect. I don’t want them attacking us once their wounds heal.”

This old man was truly cunning.

He understood that once Jiutian Meng, Jiutian Lu, and the Wine Demon Sword were fully restored, combined with the Moon Lady, it would pose an enormous threat to their Zhengyi Sect.

Thus, he intended to keep Jiutian Meng and Jiutian Lu.

”That’s impossible!”

Ling Xiao outright rejected: ”You know well they are my friends, to have me abandon friends, you’ll have to kill me!

I’ve given you the White Tiger Continent, yet you still covet more?”

”Hehe, Supreme Immortal! This humble Taoist only trusts himself, not others’ casual promises.”

One Brow Taoist chuckled lightly: ”If not achievable, then we must resort to a massacre!”

”Hahaha, has your fox tail finally shown? You claim to let us peacefully return to the Dragon and Phoenix Continent? I think your heart wants us all dead, for our existence leaves you restless!”

Ling Xiao laughed heartily; no one could evade the analysis and insight of his Tai Chi Eye.

One Brow Taoist’s gaze betrayed him.

This old man merely sought to delay, first capturing Jiutian Meng and Jiutian Lu, then collaborating with other experts on the White Tiger Continent, pursuing Ling Xiao and others, until engulfing the Dragon and Phoenix Continent within Zhengyi Sect’s realm.

”What a pity.”

One Brow Taoist suddenly shook his head.

”Pity what? Pity I saw through your scheme?”

Ling Xiao mocked.

”Pity that originally the people of Dragon and Phoenix and White Tiger Continents could avoid devastation, but it now seems inevitable.”

One Brow Taoist sighed.

”Old hypocrite, stop pretending. If you truly wish to avoid devastation, your Zhengyi Sect can withdraw from this dispute right now. I, Ling Xiao, promise not to harm any of the White Tiger Continent’s citizens.

As long as they do not attack soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, I will treat them as if my own people.”

Ling Xiao knew One Brow Taoist was unlikely to agree.

His words were merely sarcasm and mockery.

A hypocritical old Taoist, speaking always with righteousness, yet in truth a feigned noble character.

”Attack! Slay that woman together!”

One Brow Taoist suddenly ceased conversing with Ling Xiao, feeling that regardless of what was said, Ling Xiao seemed to grasp his true intentions.

Hence, he decided to act directly.

Once the Moon Lady was slain, Ling Xiao’s side would undoubtedly collapse entirely.

”Should’ve done this earlier!”

Among the Twelve True Men were hot-tempered individuals eager to act, suppressed for a long time, energy suddenly bursting forth, reaching a level akin to Xuan Ming.

Twelve persons, six reaching the level of Xuan Ming, two at the level of Jiutian Meng, the rest reflecting the caliber of the Skysea King.

All Reincarnation Realm experts, about to face Moon Lady alone.

Unlike the chaotic attacks of those at Xuanwu Divine Hall, when Zhengyi Sect’s twelve attacked, they instantly formed the Tianguard Beidou Seven Stars Sword Array.

This sword array, with no strict limit on numbers.

Yet requires at least seven people, maxing out in thousands.

The Zhengyi Sect formed the sword array with twelve, and all were Reincarnation Realm warriors, rendering the array immensely powerful.

Rumor speaks, over ten thousand years ago, the Twelve Human Immortals also collaborated to form the Tianguard Beidou Seven Stars Sword Array against terrifying demons from beyond.

In that battle, the sword array unleashed astonishing power, scattering the demons in embarrassed retreat.

And today, Zhengyi Sect’s Twelve True Men aimed to use it against the Moon Lady.
