Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”That’s right, if we destroy the Ling Family, Yuhua Town will belong to our twelve families, and the vast 90% of resources occupied by the Ling Family can be divided among us.”

Another clan leader said excitedly.

”But what if we fail? We might be doomed forever. Have you forgotten how the Chen Family was wiped out?”

While some people were excited, others were naturally worried, as the destruction of the Chen Family was still fresh in their minds.

That was no laughing matter.

”Afraid of nothing! Do you really think there’s anyone in the Ling Family besides Ling Yuhua who can turn the world upside down?”

”Exactly, without Ling Yuhua, the Ling Family is just a hollow shell.”

”Destroy it!”

”Destroy it!”

Finally, the leaders of the twelve families reached a consensus, leading tens of thousands of soldiers to the Ling Family, intending to wipe this newly appointed ruling family of Yuhua Town off the map.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao and others were rushing towards the location of the Hell Fruit.

With Ling Xiao leading the way, getting lost was not an option for them.

As they were nearing the location of the Hell Fruit, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped. He took out four ceramic bottles from his Storage Ring and handed them to Ling Jiaojiao, Ling Yan, Old Black, and the Guarding Elder, respectively.

”Take these and spread the powder inside on the ground at the four cardinal points, making sure to spread it evenly. Also, don’t go too far, keep within a mile.”

”What is this?”

Ling Jiaojiao asked curiously.

”It’s our key to victory!”

Ling Xiao smiled and said, ”Originally, I planned to do this myself, but since you four are here, this task is yours. I’ll stay here and observe the enemy’s movements.”

”Don’t worry, we’ll complete the task.”

The four nodded and then left with their bottles.

After they left, Ling Xiao approached the location of the Hell Fruit.

At this time, the Hell Fruit looked like a blooming flower and was estimated to be less than an hour from maturity.

Ling Xiao planned to snatch all the Hell Fruits when they matured because once these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures matured, they would inevitably release strange lights or fragrances, attracting many meddlesome people.

The Golden-Eyed Black Lion guarding the Hell Fruit had already been killed.

Although only Shen Meng and his two subordinates stood near the fruit, Ling Xiao clearly felt an ambush lurking in the shadows.

After carefully observing using his Tai Chi Eye, he couldn’t help but curse silently.

There were twenty-four experts of the Ninth Cave Sky Realm and higher; where on earth did Shen Meng find these people?

Moreover, each of them exuded a strong murderous aura, like madmen who licked blood off their blades.

”According to Jiaojiao, before reincarnation, Chen Pi was the leader of bandits. These people are probably his subordinates from before his reincarnation. I guess they’re also here for the Hell Fruit. But today, with me, Ling Xiao here, none of you are getting this treasure.”

With this thought, Ling Xiao continued to approach.

Only then did he see Lin Yuhua imprisoned on a nearby tree.

Judging by the look of it, Lin Yuhua had suffered greatly, covered in wounds.

However, one thing was fortunate: Lin Yuhua’s cultivation level remained intact.

Ling Xiao speculated that his opponents were afraid he wouldn’t take the bait, so they didn’t dare cripple Lin Yuhua, knowing that a crippled person would be worth far less.

If the Ling Family refused to walk into their trap for a crippled person, their plan would be ruined.

After some thought, Ling Xiao vanished into the darkness.

Faced with more than twenty experts alone, Ling Xiao didn’t have that much capability yet.

So he could only opt for a stealth attack.

In the shadowy thickets, the Twenty-Four Thieves anxiously awaited the maturity of the Hell Fruit.

They were lying in ambush under Shen Meng’s command, ready to launch a stealth attack on the Ling Clan.

In fact, the Twenty-Four Thieves thought this was entirely superfluous.

With their strength, they could have directly stormed the Ling Family to kill and destroy, without the need to suffer by hiding here.

Bandit Number One (ranking not in order, just a title) watched two ants fight on the ground with amusement.

It was so boring, yet such a scene could pique his interest.

Suddenly, he felt something approaching, and he abruptly turned his head to look, but saw nothing.

Only the cold, stabbing pain in his neck left his pupils gradually fading to gray, eventually losing all color.

”Got one!”

Ling Xiao’s plan was simple: strike first, kill as many as he could, and if discovered, he had a backup plan.

So, after killing Bandit Number One, Ling Xiao quickly moved towards Bandit Number Two, who was closest to him.

Bandit Number Two, hearing the roars of wild beasts in the forest and feeling the breeze, actually started to doze off.

He may have been the most peaceful death.

In a blurry dream, a knife pierced his throat, and he collapsed to the ground.

”Who’s there?”

Bandit Number Three and Bandit Number Four simultaneously noticed the strange disturbance nearby.

They stood up and moved towards this direction.

”It’s me.”

One silhouette waved over from their direction; it was Bandit Number Two.

Bandit Number Two approached with a smile, cursing as he walked, ”Damn Shen Meng, what a joke with this Ling Clan! We’ve been waiting for so long, and no one showed up.”

Seeing it was Bandit Number Two, Numbers Three and Four immediately lowered their guard.

Number Four even grumbled, ”Exactly, I heard that the only powerful person in the Ling Family is Ling Yuhua. We’ve helped Shen Meng capture Ling Yuhua, would they dare come? They most likely ran away.”

The three squatted on the ground and began chatting idly.

However, in that instant, Numbers Three and Four’s eyes suddenly bulged, and they wanted to make a sound but no longer had the chance.

The ice-cold hand, like a blade, simultaneously stabbed into their throats.

Bandit Number Two also transformed into Ling Xiao’s figure.

The ability of the Yin-Yang Demon King to change appearances and body shapes is truly unparalleled; as long as there’s not enough time for the opponent to recognize the problem, they couldn’t detect it in such a short period.

”Four down! But these guys are quick to react; I almost got discovered.”

After killing four bandits, Ling Xiao was close to the tree where Ling Yuhua was tied.

As long as he released Ling Yuhua, the success rate of today’s battle would greatly increase.

”Ling Yuhua, don’t look back even if you hear my voice, just spit a bit.”

Ling Xiao’s voice directly resounded in Ling Yuhua’s mind.

Ling Yuhua was just about to turn his head when he heard Ling Xiao’s warning and quickly spat on the ground.

”Listen, I will release the imprisonment on you next, but you must continue to pretend to be tied up. This gives us an advantage. When I tell you, then you will act.”

Ling Yuhua spat again, indicating he understood.

Immediately after, Ling Xiao used Shadow Step to reach the tree behind Ling Yuhua.

The tree was very tall, probably needing four or five people to encircle it.

With the concealment of Shadow Step, Ling Xiao could be sure that Shen Meng couldn’t discover him.
