Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Heh, when real trouble arises, I hope you won’t beg me to save you.”

Ling Xiao sneered, ”Believe it or not, get lost.”

After speaking, Ling Xiao waved his hand, and the courtyard door closed with a bang.

Ling Jian and Ling Moyu both looked displeased.

”Let’s go, Moyu, the facts will prove everything. When the time comes, let’s see what else Ling Xiao has to say.”

In the end, Ling Jian took a deep breath and said.

”Hmm, I believe in Brother Kun’s character; he would never attack me.”

Ling Moyu nodded, and the two left together.

Ling Xiao wasn’t aware of this, nor was he interested in knowing.

He truly didn’t care about the life or death of those two people.

Two days later, the Feathering Festival officially began.

All the adult martial artists from both the Ling and Chen families arrived at the Feather Transformation Tower for a feast. After all, no one dared to disobey an invitation from the Eight Immortals County Magistrate.

Meanwhile, the younger generation of both families gathered outside the Featherization Mountain Range, preparing for the three-day outdoor survival test.

This is the essence of the Feathering Festival.

Anyone with a cultivation level above the Heavenly Man Realm must participate in this test; those who don’t reach it stay at home.

In terms of total numbers, the younger generation from the Chen family significantly outnumbered the Ling family.

The Ling family had only seventy-five, while the Chen family had more than a hundred.

No one said this was unfair. After all, being able to have this many was the Chen family’s capability, and having over a hundred of them reaching the Heavenly Man Realm was also their ability.

Overall, aside from Ling Xiao being an unpredictable factor, the Chen family was indeed stronger than the Ling family.

However, despite this, the outcome of the outdoor survival test was highly unpredictable, requiring participants not only to survive for three days but also to collect as many demon beast crystal cores as possible, all under the surveillance of experts sent from Eight Immortals County.

Thus, cheating was out of the question, and no one dared to do so; the consequences of cheating could be even worse.

At the same time, the two families were amicable at the Feather Transformation Tower, chatting and laughing, presenting a completely peaceful picture.

Anyone unaware of their background might have thought they had a good relationship.

However, the families themselves knew how much they secretly fought over the years.

On the road.

The younger generation of the Ling family was led by Ling Jian and Ling Moyu, walking at the front.

But Ling Xiao and Ling Jiaojiao were completely apart from the group, trailing far behind, seemingly out of place with the front team.

”Ling Xiao, be careful. Although I trust you have means to protect yourself, since you suspect the Chen family people might use any means to kill you, they certainly won’t do it openly. They will use some tricks, so you must be cautious.”

Ling Jiaojiao had said everything she could to the Ling family, but unfortunately, not a single person was willing to listen to her.

However, she wasn’t disheartened.

She had done all she could and was sincere; now, her primary concern was still Ling Xiao.

”You don’t need to worry about me. Instead, remember to use the Array Refining Stone when it’s crucial. Once you activate it, I’ll know you’re in trouble and will come to help as soon as I can.”

Ling Jiaojiao cared for Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao equally cared for Ling Jiaojiao; this was true family.

Unlike the rest of the Ling family, treating their own as enemies, which was utterly bewildering.

When they were about to reach the destination, Ling Jian and Ling Moyu intentionally moved to the back of the group.

Ling Jian looked at Ling Xiao indifferently and said, ”Grandfather said if you’re in danger, you can ask me for help.

Even though I truly detest you, since it’s Grandfather’s instruction, I’ll follow it.”

Ling Moyu also said, ”Same here, believe me, if I plead with Brother Kun, he’d probably give me face.”

”Heh, I hope that in the end, the ones asking for help are you, not me.”

Ling Xiao chuckled, a trace of mockery appearing on his face.

Ling Yuhua still knew to protect him, but unfortunately, it was too late. If they had treated him and his parents well from the beginning of his reincarnation, he wouldn’t be ungrateful today.

But now, this phony protection only made him feel disgusted.

”Hmph, like a dog biting Lü Renxian, not knowing good intentions. Brother, let’s go.”

Ling Moyu was naturally displeased after Ling Jian’s words.

Ling Jian nodded and then moved away.

By now, all the Chen family members had gathered at the departure point.

Waiting there were also the experts from Eight Immortals County.

Seeing Ling Xiao, Chen Kun flashed a sinister smile and made a throat-cutting gesture.

The meaning was clear; he wanted to kill Ling Xiao.

However, Ling Xiao ignored him, which was the second time he’d completely disregarded Chen Kun.

At this moment, Ling Xiao’s gaze focused on the experts sent from Eight Immortals County.

There were four experts, all martial artists with high-level Cultivation in the Cave Heaven Realm.

Among them, the strongest one had a Tenth Cave Heaven Realm Cultivation Level, while the other three were also at the Ninth Cave Heaven Realm.

These four would be overseeing and judging the outdoor survival event.

The leader, dressed in official attire, seemed to be from the court, exuding a cold aura filled with strong killing intent.

Who knew how many villains had been killed by him before?

”Reporting to Lord Lin, all the young Heavenly Man Realm members of the Ling family are present.”

Ling Jian stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said to the leader.

”Hmm, since everyone’s here, let’s proceed.”

Lord Lin responded coldly and then moved forward.

His three subordinates melded into the forest and disappeared.

”What a farce,” Ling Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

If he were just an ordinary child, he might have had great awe for this Lord Lin.

But he was a martial artist from reincarnation, having been far stronger than this Lord Lin in previous cultivation.

Therefore, he had no reverence for him, only caution.

With his Tai Chi Eye, he was highly sensitive to anyone’s aura.

Just as two days ago, when he guessed that the County Governor and the Chen family might plan against the Ling family, it wasn’t mere intuition. He had sensed a faint malicious and murderous aura from the County Governor and Chen Canghai.

Today, a similar aura emanated from this Lord Lin, making him uneasy.

But only he seemed to sense it; everyone else followed closely behind.

Ling Moyu even shamelessly mingled with the Chen family’s team, chatting away with Chen Kun hand in hand.

It seemed less like competition and more like offering oneself to another’s bed.

No, perhaps Chen Kun had long since conquered this woman.

Ling Jiaojiao, from start to finish, stayed by Ling Xiao’s side; in her world, there was only Ling Xiao.

Others really meant nothing to her.

”Jiaojiao, didn’t you always admire Chen Pi? Your idol is right there; why not go chat with him?”

Ling Moyu was clearly trying to embarrass Ling Xiao.

In the entire Ling family, Ling Jiaojiao was the only one willing to walk with Ling Xiao.

So, she wanted Ling Jiaojiao to leave Ling Xiao too, leaving him completely isolated.
