Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

In Ling Xiao’s eyes, no matter how bad his father Ling Tieshou was, he was still Elder Ling’s adopted son.

Wrap him up in a mat and throw him away?

Doing this not only seems excessive but also slaps the old man’s face.

What exactly is the Ling Family head planning to do?

”Go!”

The group completely ignored Ling Xiao’s warning, and when they couldn’t reason with him, they simply decided to leave.

Ling Xiao didn’t intend to waste words, and directly took action.

He knocked down the four servants carrying the mat with one punch each.

Then he shouldered the mat and headed to Yuhua Town’s only coffin shop, buying a high-quality coffin.

If he couldn’t protect this father, then let him be buried decently.

Fortunately, over the past few months, he had refined some simple pills to sell for money, and buying a coffin was not a problem.

After buying the coffin, Ling Xiao also got a horse-drawn carriage, and then he himself drove it towards the Ling Family Cemetery.

The Ling Family Cemetery is reserved for those with the surname Ling, for the recognition of ancestors.

This father of his always hoped in life to be recognized by the Ling Family, to have his name enshrined in the Ling Family shrine.

Although such a dream seems truly laughable and somewhat foolish,

but the dead cannot come back to life, so Ling Xiao decided to fulfill this wish for him.

The Ling Family Cemetery is guarded year-round, with a beautiful landscape and excellent feng shui.

And it’s regularly cleaned, so it appears not only tidy but also presumably comfortable for those buried.

Ling Xiao paid no heed to the guards and drove the carriage directly inside.

The guards attempted to stop him, but he simply whipped them away.

His father couldn’t enjoy the Ling Family’s wealth in life, is he also barred from the Ling Family Cemetery in death?

He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!

Looking coldly at the guards, he reached the mausoleum, found a secluded corner, and began to dig a grave.

As for the tombstone, he planned to carve it himself. After all, there were boulders everywhere on this mountain, and with his skills, carving a tombstone was no issue.

When the grave was done, Ling Xiao placed the coffin inside, but suddenly felt his eyes grow moist.

He had thought he wouldn’t be too saddened.

After all, Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists go through ten cycles of reincarnation, meaning the parents encountered during this phase amount to ten.

So most of the emotions are not deep.

Ling Xiao assumed the same applied to him, considering this man merely a benefactor.

But he was mistaken.

Even in reincarnation, a father is a father, and in his body flows this man’s blood.

Though that blood is slight, it nevertheless cannot alter the reality of flesh and bone bonds.

He lay on the coffin and quietly wept for a while.

His heart laden with loss, as if something vitally important was gone.

It felt as though a piece of flesh had been cut away, the pain unbearable.

”Dad, I never wanted to call you before, because I saw myself as a Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist, I was too proud!

Now I realize my mistake, no matter what I was before, you are my dad!

You pretended to be a drunken fool, working hard to protect me, but you died, and I did nothing.

I truly am a bastard.”

Ling Xiao spoke, then slapped himself, recalling the past twelve months, he realized he had never called this man father or dad.

This man’s heart must have been deeply sorrowed.

Even if others looked down on him, did even his own son have to disrespect him, could he be content with that?

Sadly, regrets were pointless now. The only thing Ling Xiao could do was bury his father properly and then send his tablet into the Ling Family shrine.

Bump bump!

Bump bump bump!

Suddenly, a strange sound echoed, as if something was tapping against the coffin.

Ling Xiao paused his sobbing in confusion, then looked towards the coffin.

Tai Chi Eye!

Once he activated the Tai Chi Eye, Ling Xiao saw through the coffin board that Ling Tieshou inside had opened his eyes.

Still alive?

Ling Xiao hurriedly struck the coffin board, and saw Ling Tieshou suddenly sit up inside.

”Oh my, I almost suffocated, I say son, your dad only has the Martial Vein Realm cultivation level, if there’s no air for a long time, he’d really suffocate.”

Ling Tieshou said, breathless.

Ling Xiao’s expression abruptly turned into one of extreme joy: ”Dad, you’re not dead?”

”What did you just call me?”

Ling Tieshou froze for a moment; his precious son had never addressed him that way.

”Dad, I was wrong before. It’s wonderful that you’re back, I’m a Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist, and from now on, whoever dares bully you, dad, I’ll kill them!”

Ling Xiao said earnestly.

Yet the expression of excitement on his face never faded.

His father’s revival was truly an immense surprise for him.

”Alas, you call me dad just once; I would die without regrets.” Ling Tieshou sighed helplessly: ”Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists may be strong, but don’t forget that this is Xuanwu Continent, where Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists are not uncommon, many young talents are actually one-turn, even two-turn, three-turn Martial Artists.

No matter what you were before, I only hope you stay low-key.”

Ling Xiao nodded noncommittally, admitting Ling Tieshou’s words held truth, yet his nature was not one to concede.

These twelve months had been stifling. If he had to suppress himself further, he might as well die.

”Forget it, you’ll walk your path. As your father, it’s merely advice. It’s only my last breath; I’m awaiting this chance to speak.”

Ling Tieshou sighed, seeming somewhat sorrowful. His son just agreed to call him dad, yet he was about to depart like this, truly helpless.

”Dad, what’s wrong with you?”

Ling Xiao asked: ”I previously was an alchemist; perhaps I can help you!”

”Alas, your father was poisoned with a deadly toxin at the peak of the Martial Vein Realm, which is why his cultivation stopped then, otherwise he’d be a Reincarnation Realm practitioner today.

You wonder why your grandfather took your father in as an adopted son? It was due to my impressive aptitude.”

Ling Tieshou sighed.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao grabbed Ling Tieshou’s hand and checked his pulse.

A moment later, his expression turned astonished: ”Dad, this is the poison of Transformation Dispersion Powder, though it doesn’t kill, it permanently halts cultivation progress.

But Transformation Dispersion Powder is a top-tier mysterious pill, extremely challenging to refine, you were just a Martial Vein Realm Martial Artist at the time, why would someone target you?”

”Which is the largest force on Xuanwu continent?”

Ling Tieshou didn’t answer but retorted with a question.

”Naturally it’s the Eternal Palace in the Central Region.”

Ling Xiao replied.

The Eternal Palace, located in the Central Region of Xuanwu Continent, is undoubtedly the largest and most formidable power on Xuanwu Continent.

It governs eight empires, along with hundreds of kingdoms and principalities, as well as numerous sects.
