Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Grandfather, please help handle this matter.”

Ling Jiaojiao entrusted this troublesome issue to Ling Yuhua to deal with.

Her sole focus now is cultivation.

After this incident, she realized clearly that strength is everything, and all other things are illusory.

Without strength, you are nothing.

”Hahaha, leave it to me.”

Ling Yuhua was pleased. Ling Jiaojiao still called him grandfather, perhaps that’s blood thicker than water. At least his future days wouldn’t be too difficult.

The crowd gradually congratulated the Ling Family and began to turn to leave.

But at this moment, a fierce murderous aura rushed directly towards Ling Yuhua.

This shocked everyone, causing them to turn their heads.

Three middle-aged men walked over coldly. The leader had eyes full of cold killing intent and intense anger.

”Who is that?”

Someone in the crowd asked.

”I seem to have heard that the Chen Family once adopted a son to the Shaw Clan. Could it be him?”

Another replied.

”No doubt, it’s him. His name is Chen Meng, now Shen Meng!”

”Such a strong aura; it feels even more terrifying than Ling Yuhua.”

Everyone sensed the killing intent of these three men, especially the powerful aura released by Shen Meng.

How could the Ling Family not feel it?

Ling Xiao squinted as he looked at this middle-aged man around thirty, unsure of what the other party intended.

If he makes a move here, Ling Xiao is certain this person won’t gain the upper hand.

Ling Yuhua might not match Shen Meng, but the difference isn’t large. With his assistance, all three disciples of the Shaw Clan would die.

He thought the opponent wouldn’t be foolish enough to strike directly here, would he?

Ling Yuhua also looked at Shen Meng coldly.

The Ling Family had finally gained a chance to rise, and he absolutely wouldn’t allow Shen Meng to sabotage it.

As Shen Meng got closer, suddenly a burst of aura rushed towards Ling Jiaojiao.

With his cultivation level, he could indeed make Ling Jiaojiao embarrassed on the spot.

However, Ling Xiao timely stood behind Ling Jiaojiao, gently holding her hand. A huge tyrannical aura flowed into Ling Jiaojiao’s body.

Shen Meng’s aura was actually bounced back, shivering.

He paused briefly, then sneered: ”What a heroine! All the young disciples of the Chen Family were killed by you, weren’t they?

But if you Ling Family think you can easily hold onto the guardian seat, you’re dreaming!

I will bring the Chen Family’s fierce ghosts to settle accounts with you!”

”Settle accounts? With you, a wild child thrown out by the Chen Family?”

Ling Xiao stepped forward, looking coldly at Shen Meng, saying, ”If it weren’t for you being from the Shaw Clan, saying such things today means you’d never step out of Yuhua Town alive.”

He wasn’t bluffing. If it weren’t for the Shaw Clan being too powerful, blatantly killing these three would bring disaster to him and the Ling Family. He could indeed team up with Ling Yuhua to ruin these three.

”Such audacious little brat! Though I don’t know who this nobody is, as long as you’re from the Ling Family, don’t think about leaving Yuhua Town alive.”

Shen Meng coldly watched Ling Xiao, gritting his teeth and said, ”Just wait. In a few days, you and the entire Ling Family will all go underground to accompany our Chen Family martial artists!”

”Oh? I bet in the end, on the Underworld Road, it’ll only be the figures of you three fools. I believe your deceased father Chen Canghai will be delighted to see you.”

Ling Xiao faintly smiled, ”I am very compassionate, and hate seeing family separation. Since Chen Canghai can’t be resurrected, I’ll send you to reunite with him.”

”Alright, then just wait. I’ll make sure to give special treatment to you, this little beast. Absolutely let you die in the most painful way!”

Shen Meng’s face was extremely gloomy, and if not for considering Ling Yuhua’s presence, he would’ve killed this arrogant punk right now.

But he held back, having a perfect plan in mind, not believing the Chen Family wouldn’t fall for it.

Hell Fruit is the key to this plan.

He believed the Ling Family urgently wanted to become strong, so there’s no way they’d miss those four Hell Fruits.

By then, he could capture them all in one net.

”Let’s go.”

Shen Meng decided to gather more manpower.

The Shaw Clan’s people are hard to move, after all pulling one hair affects the whole body.

The Shaw Clan also wouldn’t cause trouble in such a remote place for mere four Hell Fruits, but the Twenty-Four Thieves could be summoned.

The Twenty-Four Thieves were Jianghu brothers of his nephew Chen Pi before entering reincarnation.

Though these people are ruthless, they might not necessarily plan to avenge Chen Pi.

But their cultivation levels had reached Ninth or Tenth Cave Heaven Realm, urgently needing something like Hell Fruit to enhance their strength.

Shen Meng didn’t care about Hell Fruit, so he could promise all of it to these people.

By then, he’d use the Twenty-Four Thieves to destroy the Ling Family.

Watching Shen Meng leave, Ling Xiao thought he also had to do something before leaving.

Though he still felt no emotion for the Ling Family, since it had become a force under him.

In the future, they could continuously provide resources from Yuhua Town.

Even if they were family servants, he’d need to protect them somewhat.

If Shen Meng wanted to ruin the Ling Family, then he’d first ruin Shen Meng!

...

After returning to the Ling Family, Ling Xiao began to enter closed-door cultivation.

Previously, because of the battle at the Chen Family, his cultivation level had broken through to the First Heavenly Realm High Rank.

Comparable to martial artists with ordinary Ninth Celestial Realm cultivation levels.

But as the breakthrough hadn’t been long ago, he still needed to consolidate well.

Worried about Shen Meng’s surprise attack, Ling Xiao also ordered the Ling Family’s people not to act alone except for necessary outings during this period.

Since he decided to nurture the Ling Family as his force, he wouldn’t treat them unfairly.

The large quantity of Demon Beast Crystal Core obtained last time could all be used for alchemy.

Ling Xiao had Ling Yuhua take out all the medicinal materials from the Chen Family’s storage.

Spending a day and night, he crafted over ten thousand pills. Though many pills were different, their effects were largely similar.

That is, to increase cultivation level!

Only that some pills increased cultivation level while enhancing physical body strength.

Others enhanced soul power.

Overall different yet sharing the commonality of increasing cultivation level.

The time for Hell Fruit to mature is just four or five days away. He intends during these days to let the Ling Family martial artists’ strength rise significantly.

Especially Ling Jiaojiao and Ling Yan.

These are the two people Ling Xiao trusts the most, he also hopes they can truly shoulder major responsibilities for him.

Just like his senior brother Wu Xiang and his friends in the past.

While crafting pills, Ling Xiao is also consolidating his cultivation. For him, alchemy is also a form of cultivation.

Mastery of inner strength and flames has to reach the peak to skillfully refine pills and medicine.

After distributing the pills, Ling Xiao also began his cultivation.

Shen Meng is strong, so he must become stronger too; otherwise, in a confrontation, he’d be the one to suffer.
