Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Alright, Old Clan Leader Ling, no need to see me off. My purpose for coming here this time is merely to hope that the Ling and Chen families can live in harmony.

No matter who wins the Feather Transformation Festival this time, neither family should retaliate against the other. Otherwise, I will not forgive.”

Outside the door, the County Governor said to Ling Yuhua, ”You need to advise young Ling Xiao more. Don’t let trivial matters ruin the many years of relationship between the Ling and Chen families.”

”Rest assured, County Governor, I understand,”

Ling Yuhua replied hastily.

”Alright, I’ll head back to the Feather Transformation Tower first. Remember, on the day of the Feather Transformation Festival, all adult martial artists from both families must come to the Feather Transformation Tower for the feast. This is a crucial matter concerning the fairness of the festival; don’t forget.”

With that, the County Governor led his entourage away in advance.

Subsequently, Chen Canghai also bid farewell to Ling Yuhua.

On the way, Chen Kun asked Chen Canghai very displeasedly, ”Grandfather, why don’t you let me kill that Ling Xiao?”

”Why rush? When the Feather Transformation Festival begins, it will be the Ling family’s doomsday.”

Chen Canghai sneered, ”That old fool Ling Yuhua probably never dreamed that we’d cooperate with the County Governor.”

”Grandfather, are you saying we’re going to uproot the Ling family?”

Chen Kun asked in surprise.

”That’s right, so don’t hang onto Ling Moyu. She’s destined to die.”

Chen Canghai said solemnly, ”A man cannot be swayed by personal feelings. Do you understand?”

”I understand, Grandfather.”

Chen Kun didn’t have much affection for Ling Moyu. Although he liked her, it was merely because of her beauty, and he didn’t care about losing such a woman.

”Let’s go back and plan to ensure the entire scheme proceeds smoothly.”

Chen Canghai didn’t want to say much on this road, fearing someone might overhear and spoil the entire plan.

At this moment, Ling Yuhua couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss with this year’s Feather Transformation Festival.

There was an unsettling feeling from deep within.

But he couldn’t figure out why.

He’d been wary of the Chen family all along, yet he didn’t anticipate that the Governor of Eight Immortals County would assist the Chen family against them.

Ling Xiao, of course, was oblivious to all of this.

However, it had no effect on him.

He didn’t care about the life and death of the Ling family at all.

However, under a toppled nest, no egg remains intact. If he learned of these plots, he would likely intervene.

After all, the Ling family was currently in a cooperative relationship with him, while the Chen family was a genuine adversary.

An enemy’s enemy is a friend.

Moreover, they were cooperating now.

”Brother, I’ve broken through to the Fifth Cave Heaven Realm in my cultivation!”

In a small courtyard, Ling Jiaojiao excitedly said to Ling Xiao.

”Not bad. With this, you’ve overshadowed Ling Moyu, except Ling Jian, who is slightly stronger than you.”

Ling Xiao genuinely felt happy for Ling Jiaojiao.

The situation among the young generation was now very clear.

Chen Pi and Chen Kun were in the first tier.

Ling Jian and Ling Jiaojiao belonged to the second tier.

Ling Yan, Ling Moyu, Chen Xingzhi, and Chen Du could be categorized into the third tier.

As for the rest, they could be regarded as one tier.

In the past, Ling Jiaojiao wasn’t even as good as Ling Moyu. It was only after following Ling Xiao that she defeated Ling Moyu at the annual meeting, and now she completely outshined Ling Moyu.

Ling Xiao was an exception.

He had no interest in comparing himself to these people; his goal had always been higher-level martial artists.

”Ling Xiao, maybe you shouldn’t participate in the Feather Transformation Festival. I’ve improved my strength now, and although I might not surpass the Chen family, at least I won’t lose too badly.

After all, the Ling family has never treated you well, so why risk for the Ling family’s management rights in Yuhua Town?”

In the end, Ling Jiaojiao was still worried about Ling Xiao.

She didn’t know what had happened to Ling Xiao over the past month, but she knew the terrifying strength of Chen Kun and Chen Pi.

Rumor has it that Chen Kun’s cultivation broke through and reached the Eighth Cave Heaven Realm Cultivation.

Chen Pi was even more terrifying, having reached the Ninth Cave Sky Realm.

Facing these two, Ling Xiao had no chance of winning.

She knew Ling Xiao had better talent, but Chen Kun and Chen Pi had genuinely lived and cultivated for nearly twenty years.

Ling Xiao, on the other hand, was a reincarnation warrior, and his actual cultivation time so far wasn’t more than fourteen months.

No matter how fast reincarnation warriors cultivate, they can’t catch up to others’ near twenty years of hard work.

”Jiaojiao, you shouldn’t be worried about me.”

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, ”Though I can’t be sure, I feel that the Chen family won’t show any mercy at the Feather Transformation Festival this time.

Not only do they want to kill me, but they might also want to kill you, Ling Jian, Ling Yan, all the young successors of the Ling family.”

He hadn’t told anyone else about this, as he had no evidence—it was just intuition and speculation.

But he believed Ling Jiaojiao would trust him, so he shared it.

”What!”

Ling Jiaojiao was stunned upon hearing this.

Though she hadn’t received much care growing up, blood is still thicker than water. She was different from Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao wasn’t a biological son of the Ling family, but she was.

If the Chen family intends to do such a thing, then she must stop it.

”There’s no need to worry too much; it’s just my conjecture, maybe nothing will happen. But to prepare thoroughly, I have an Array Refining Stone here for you to keep.

If something unsolvable happens, use the Array Refining Stone. At least, it cannot be cracked by those youngsters from the Chen family.”

Ling Xiao handed an Array Refining Stone to Ling Jiaojiao and instructed, ”This Array Refining Stone can only be used once, so use it at the most critical moment, not for irrelevant people.

Also, don’t worry about me. Whether it’s Chen Kun or Chen Pi, they’ll eventually fall into my hands.

Have I ever deceived you?”

Ling Jiaojiao took the Array Refining Stone, pondered for a moment, and thought to herself, indeed, Ling Xiao had never lied to her. If he says he can defeat someone, then he certainly can.

Why worry excessively?

”Alright, but can I share your intuition with others?”

Ling Jiaojiao asked.

”Sure, but they probably won’t believe you.”

Ling Xiao understood that Ling Jiaojiao was different from the other members of the Ling family; she wasn’t a person with a heart of stone.

So some things, even knowing they would be mocked, Ling Jiaojiao would still say. As to its effectiveness, that’s another matter—she wanted a clear conscience.

Ling Jiaojiao had left only moments when someone came to the small courtyard to cause trouble.

Actually, it wasn’t really causing trouble.

It was merely venting complaints.

Ling Jian and Ling Moyu arrived.

They didn’t dare to rashly enter Ling Xiao’s courtyard and could only question Ling Xiao at the door.

Ling Jian said, ”You judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Chen Kun and Moyu have an engagement; how could he be ruthless to her?”

”Right, Brother Kun is not shameless like you.”

Ling Moyu echoed.
