Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

No matter what, the Iron-slice Sword has accompanied Ling Xiao for quite some time. Now that they are parting ways, it deserves a good resting place.

This place is picturesque. Perhaps letting it rest here would be truly nice.

Additionally, he found quite a number of low-quality Yin-Yang Yuanli Pills in Shen Chong’s storage ring.

He didn’t think much of these Yin-Yang Yuanli Pills.

But for most martial artists in Eight Immortals County City, they are still extremely valuable.

There were about twenty pills in total.

Ling Xiao planned to give them away as gifts.

To Lin Yang, Chen He, and hm, even Feng Ru, he would give some.

Lin Yang and Chen He were his juniors; as their leader, he couldn’t just expect the horse to run without giving it grass.

Giving such pills, which he didn’t care for, as gifts was quite appropriate.

That’s about all that was in the storage ring.

Of course, Ling Xiao’s gains this time were far from ending here.

Not only had he killed Shen Chong, who always wanted to harm him, but he also obtained hundreds of Devil Seeds, which greatly benefited his cultivation.

Moreover, by taking Lin Yang as his junior, he learned some things about the Shadow Sect.

”Hmm? What’s this?”

Just as Ling Xiao was preparing to burn the corpses and leave the cave, he suddenly found a piece of paper in Mo Lao Er’s personal clothing.

He took out the paper and began to check what was written on it.

What he saw shocked him.

The paper contained a lot of content, but the main idea was clear: the Demon Shadow Sect was planning a terrifying ”Bloodsucking Sacrifice” in Eight Immortals County City.

By then, the entire county city would become a hellish place.

Although Ling Xiao had no emotional attachment to Eight Immortals County City,

he believed that every blade of grass and tree on the Xuanwu Continent would eventually belong to him, Ling Xiao.

His Heavenly Dynasty Empire intended to conquer the Xuanwu Continent, and the existence of the Shadow Sect was absolutely unacceptable.

The horror of the Bloodsucking Sacrifice could be imagined from the brutality of the Blood Cave Stronghold bandits.

Unfortunately, the time wasn’t mentioned on the paper.

However, it’s estimated that the time wouldn’t be too soon. After all, with Eight Immortals Mountain and Tianfeng Group present, the Shadow Sect wouldn’t easily succeed in a blood sacrifice in the county city.

Even so, he needed to cultivate more diligently. Otherwise, he might not be able to help at all and might even be drained by the Shadow Sect.

Since he had already killed two city stewards of the Shadow Sect, the sect wouldn’t let it slide easily.

For whatever reason, he and the Shadow Sect were now irreconcilable enemies.

So naturally, it’s either the Shadow Sect perishes or he does. He certainly didn’t want to die, so he could only strive to improve his cultivation and see the Shadow Sect’s demise.

While thinking, Lin Yang had already rescued all the captured martial artists.

Most of these martial artists were quite strong, with one even having the First Layer Hell cultivation in the Yin-Yang Realm.

Most of them were freelance martial artists with no backing, and after being captured by the Shadow Sect, there was no one to look for them.

Ling Xiao was secretly delighted.

The Ling Family of Feather Transformation Town was relatively weak. If Ling Jiaojiao could manage these people, the family’s strength would surely see a significant boost. Even facing martial artists of the Yin-Yang Realm, they need not fear.

However, their loyalty was uncertain for now, so Ling Xiao controlled them all with Life and Death Illusion Disperse.

He first returned to Feather Transformation Town and handed these people over to Ling Jiaojiao.

Ling Xiao also took the opportunity to check on the current state of Feather Transformation Town.

The town was thriving.

Earlier conflicts arose because the two major families were constantly at odds, leading to never-ending disputes that hindered town development.

Now it was different—the Ling Family reigned supreme, with genuine progress and development in the town.

The martial artists’ cultivation levels were improving rapidly.

Currently, the Ling Family had three Yin-Yang Realm martial artists stationed: Ling Yuhua, Old Black, and the Guarding Elder.

Ling Yuhua was the strongest, already at the Pinnacle of First Layer Hell cultivation.

Ling Jiaojiao’s cultivation had also reached the half-step Yin-Yang Realm.

The only concern Ling Xiao had was for Ling Yan.

According to Ling Jiaojiao, one day Ling Yan left a letter and suddenly disappeared.

The letter didn’t specify what the issue was, but it seemed not to be a minor matter.

Since Ling Yan said nothing, even if Ling Xiao wanted to help, he had no means to assist, so he could only pray for him for now.

After settling the hundreds of people he brought back, Ling Xiao checked the Ling Family’s defensive formations and used recently acquired materials to make some enhancements.

He also set up an array formation outside the entire Feather Transformation Town, with both defensive and enemy-confusing effects.

If someone attempted to harm Feather Transformation Town, the array would activate, creating a maze-like area over a hundred miles, delaying the enemy.

This way, Ling Xiao could be alerted and rush back in time to help.

After all, he had offended Mo Fei Yu, and had to be on guard. If that guy sought revenge and disregarded even his father’s life, he’d surely come to destroy Feather Transformation Town.

This was to be prepared for any eventuality.

After doing all this, Ling Xiao and Lin Yang began their journey back to Eight Immortals Mountain.

Of course, they rode the Wind Riding Eagle back.

Although this Wind Riding Eagle belonged to the Shaw Clan, to Ling Xiao, taming such a small bird was no problem.

The Wind Riding Eagle didn’t enter Eight Immortals County City but went directly to the foot of Eight Immortals Mountain.

Ling Xiao used the teleportation array he had previously set up to return to the foot of Black Immortal Mountain.

Then he parted ways with Lin Yang, each returning to their mountain.

When Ling Xiao returned to Black Immortal Mountain, Feng Ru was already worried sick.

”Ling Xiao, how dare you come back?”

”Why wouldn’t I dare to come back?”

Ling Xiao replied.

Feng Ru sighed, ”The things you did in North Mount Town have already been reported by spies. The entire sect knows that you wiped out the Mo Clan. Even if the sect doesn’t do anything to you, Mo Fei Yu won’t let you go.”

Seeing Feng Ru’s anxious expression, Ling Xiao instead smiled.

Having a sister-like person care for him and worry on his behalf was quite nice.

”You’re still smiling?”

Feng Ru stomped her foot, nearly driven to despair.

After finally having a junior martial brother to talk to these years, and thinking he might soon die, how could she not be anxious?

”Senior Sister, you don’t need to worry. It’s true I wiped out the Mo Clan, but didn’t the spies mention why I did it?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”No, the spies just said you destroyed the Mo Clan, nothing about the reasons.”

Feng Ru shook her head.

”Then they deserve to die. Those spies are probably Shadow Sect agents!”

Ling Xiao was confident that the so-called spies might have already been compromised by the Shadow Sect.

”What Shadow Sect? What agents?”

Feng Ru was completely puzzled.
