Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Ling Xiao, even you alone cannot be a match for the eleven of us. Ling Yuhua has already been killed by Shen Meng. You have no chance of turning the tables. Why don’t you surrender to us? The Ling Family can be entirely yours, but you must follow our orders.”

Among the eleven clan leaders, one held a position second only to the Miu Clan Leader, possessing strength comparable to the Miu Clan Leader.

For now, let’s call him Clan Leader No. 2.

Clan Leader No. 2 seemed to have not grasped the situation yet, still foolishly attempting to persuade Ling Xiao to surrender. Truly, he was utterly confused.

”Who did you say was dead? I’m still alive and well.”

From the direction of the voice, Ling Yuhua arrived late.

Ling Yuhua was extremely shocked in his heart. Despite being a Martial Artist with Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation, his speed couldn’t keep up with Ling Xiao.

Having been left far behind by Ling Xiao, he only managed to arrive now, feeling quite embarrassed.

”How can you still be alive? What happened to Shen Meng?”

Clan Leader No. 2 asked in terror, looking at Ling Yuhua.

If Ling Yuhua wasn’t dead, it meant Shen Meng’s plan had failed.

But why did it fail?

Could it be that Ling Yuhua killed Shen Meng?

Impossible. Ling Yuhua couldn’t possibly have such a powerful strength.

”Shen Meng has long turned into a dead dog. Are you still counting on him to come save you?”

Ling Yuhua looked disdainfully at Clan Leader No. 2 and said, ”Actually, ever since the Chen Family fell, I’ve been contemplating whether to annihilate the twelve families that have always maintained good relations with the Chen Family.

But it turns out I was too merciful. I thought you hadn’t made any mistakes at the time, so I didn’t advise the Clan Leader.

If it weren’t for a master setting up a powerful array formation for the Ling Family, the Ling Family would now be in ruins. With deeds like yours, your crimes are beyond pardon!

When the Clan Leader returns, I’ll seek an order to eradicate all of you!”

The old man was truly very angry.

In his lifetime, he was genuinely rarely merciful. This time, because he was saved by Ling Xiao, he felt a bit of mercy, but didn’t expect it almost harmed the entire Ling Family.

If Ling Xiao hadn’t made arrangements in advance, he would truly regret it dearly.

”Grandpa, I’m giving you this order: not a single one of the Twelve Clans shall remain!”

Ling Jiaojiao, Ling Yan, the Guarding Elder, and Old Black returned last.

Ling Jiaojiao’s cold voice resonated in the air, pronouncing the death sentence for the twelve families.

She is kind, but not naive.

These twelve families dared to attack the Ling Family in their absence; this mustn’t be tolerated.

She wanted to use the annihilation of these twelve families to intimidate the remaining families in Yuhua Town, making them understand that opposing the Ling Family means bringing their own family’s destruction.

”Falling Star Sword Technique Ninth Sword: Universe Breaker!”

With Ling Jiaojiao’s voice landing, Ling Xiao’s sword Qi had already blossomed.

This sword directly burst in the place where the eleven clan leaders stood.

Afterward, the eleven clan leaders, either dead or injured, none remained unscathed.

Such overwhelming power made everyone gasp.

Ling Xiao didn’t continue attacking; he unlocked the Beast Ring and released twenty terrifying Demon Wolves from it.

Each of these Demon Wolves had reached the standard of the Ninth Cave Sky Realm.

Among them, the Wolf King’s strength was half a step into the Yin-Yang Realm.

These were all subdued by Ling Xiao using the Three-leaf Demon Pupil’s Soul Capturing technique on his way back.

Next, he might leave here, though currently, the Ling Family still lacked combat power. But with these twenty Demon Wolves stationed, even Martial Artists with Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation would dare not easily provoke the Ling Family.

The Demon Wolves roared and charged out, beginning a slaughter among the twelve families.

Monster Beasts possess no humanity, nor compassion.

As they kill, they show no mercy.

Screams echoed, and even the workers, who had been righteous moments earlier, were trembling in fear, one by one kneeling down.

Under this terrifying power, they couldn’t possibly gather the courage to resist.

”From now on, you will be the Ling Family’s laborers. Don’t worry. I, Ling Xiao, swear to let you live a life free from worry over food and clothing. If you work diligently, you can even own your own property. Your descendants will also have the opportunity to leave their laborer status and become ordinary people.”

Ling Xiao looked at the laborers already trembling in fear and threw them a large candy.

Then, he turned to Wu Sheng and said, ”From now on, you’ll be the head of Ling Family’s labor force. Remember to work meticulously for the Ling Family. Your benefits will not be lacking.

But if you attempt to rebel like today, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

”Rest assured, Great God. We truly couldn’t survive, thus the rebellion. Even if there’s just one full meal, even if beaten and scolded, we’ll accept it.”

Wu Sheng looked at Ling Xiao and knelt down on both knees, expressing.

”Very good. From today, you’re considered a member of the Ling Family, but your strength is really too weak. Cultivate well. The Martial Hall of the Ling Family, you have the same opportunity to enter as the other Martial Artists.”

Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

He wouldn’t create trouble for himself. Of course, he couldn’t release all the laborers; otherwise, so many mineral resources in Yuhua Town would go abandoned.

He also wouldn’t go back on his word and would give these laborers the best working conditions possible within his capability. It’s the only thing he could do.

Changing the world—that kind of stuff, he couldn’t accomplish at least for now, because timing wasn’t right.

With twenty Demon Wolves joining the battle, plus the twelve families’ clan leaders either dead or heavily injured, they had no combat power left.

This resulted in the twelve families being entirely annihilated within several shichen.

On this day in Yuhua Town, blood and murderous intent filled the air, and the sky was dark and sunless.

But for the Ling Family, it was a battle that cemented their status.

After the fight, the cleanup work of the battlefield was undertaken by Wu Sheng and the laborers. Of course, not for free. Ling Xiao had promised that after completing the cleanup work, every laborer would receive rewards corresponding to their efforts.

As for what the reward was, he didn’t specify.

But whether it was food, gold, or something else, it held great allure for these laborers.

Everything was arranged.

Within the Ling Family, an internal high-level meeting was held.

All key figures were present, sitting quietly, watching Ling Xiao sitting to the right of Ling Jiaojiao, none daring to breathe heavily.

The shock Ling Xiao brought them was truly immense.

Effortlessly killing the Miu Clan Leader, controlling twenty Demon Wolves—this had never been even heard of in Yuhua Town’s history.

If someone truly had such abilities, they must have been the legendary Sword and Saber God Emperor of old.

But that was, after all, just a legend, uncertain if true or not.

However, Ling Xiao was a true existing legend.

Ling Xiao, feeling a bit uncomfortable from the stares, waved his hand and said, ”Don’t all stare at me. I’m just doing my job. The Ling Family is my possession. Whoever destroys it, I’ll obliterate them. No need to worship me; I’m just a legend.”
