Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Demon Lord Legacy_1

Ling Xiao was honored with a reward, which indicated that Elder Jin, the Head of the Enforcement Hall, had already caused some discontent among the higher-ups of the sect. It was fortunate that he did not lose his position as the Head of the Enforcement Hall, and it was estimated that he would not pose a threat to Ling Xiao for the time being.

This left Meng Yuan and other followers of Demonflame Celestial extremely frustrated.

They had not expected that Hei Suo’s death at the hands of Ling Xiao would turn out to be in vain.

What was most outrageous was that Ling Xiao was rewarded with so many honor points.

Even the elite Inner Sect Disciples were green with envy over those honor points, let alone Meng Yuan, who felt a twinge of jealousy himself.

After receiving this news, Demonflame Celestial was so angry he spat blood, and his injury, which had been healing well, flared up once again.

”Bai Yun! Bai Yun! Curse that Bai Yun! To have such a disciple and me not discovering it! Damn it! It’s truly infuriating!”

Demonflame Celestial had harbored intentions of killing Ling Xiao for a long time, and Ling Xiao’s killing of Hei Suo had only intensified his murderous intent.

Before, it was only Meng Yuan who sought to kill Ling Xiao to please Demonflame Celestial.

However, this time, Demonflame Celestial personally issued an order to Meng Yuan—

”Meng Yuan, kill Ling Xiao before your master heals, and your master will take you as a personal disciple! You will receive the same treatment as Ming Tian!”

Overwhelmed with excitement after receiving this order, Meng Yuan also began to scheme how he would kill Ling Xiao.

At this moment, Ling Xiao made yet another astonishing decision.

He reported to the sect that he had precious items to offer, but he insisted on submitting them directly to the Sect Leader!

This was something Ling Xiao had planned early on, to offer up the key to the ”True Demon Empire Treasure” to the sect.

To him, that object was currently of little use, but for the Moon Glorious Sect, it was undoubtedly an invaluable treasure.

There was also another object, which was the Devil Seal of the Plague Demon King!

This seal had no special effects, merely serving as a symbol of identity; keeping it was of no use to Ling Xiao.

He might as well exchange it for some benefits.

He believed that as long as he presented these two items, his standing within the sect would be even more secure, and it would be much harder for Demonflame Celestial to kill him.

Even if the Head of the Enforcement Hall wanted to cause him trouble, it would become very difficult.

Moreover, these two items would surely bring in a substantial amount of sect honor.

That day, the Moon Glorious Sect Leader finally made an appearance, and she was actually a woman of stunning beauty.

Regrettably, to Ling Xiao’s disappointment, she was not the woman in blue he had encountered in the Fulong Mountain Range years ago.

Ling Xiao had even thought that this mysterious Sect Leader might be that woman, which was why he had insisted on seeing her. Now that he had seen her, he felt somewhat disappointed and helpless.

But disappointment aside, the tasks at hand still had to be carried out.

Appearing alongside the Moon Glorious Sect Leader were the five Enforcement Elders of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth from the Enforcement Hall.

As well as the Golden Light Heavenly Lord, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, Venerable Pure Sky, Master of Desperate Tower, Inner Sect Yuehua Tower Master, Medicine Hall Master Yang Dan Lin, and so on.

Essentially, the upper echelon of the Moon Glorious Sect had almost all arrived.

They had all heard from Ling Xiao that he had two treasures to present that were of vital importance to the rise and fall of the Moon Glorious Sect, and as high-ranking members of the sect, how could they not be involved in such a matter?

”Ling Xiao, our sect has already appeared, so if you have anything to submit, bring it forward. If it truly is a treasure, the sect will naturally reward you handsomely. However, if it’s nothing but nonsense, don’t blame the sect for punishing you,” said Chang Yueying, the Moon Glorious Sect Leader, with a voice not loud but imbued with absolute authority.

”This disciple understands!”

Ling Xiao did not waste words but simply lifted his hand and suddenly a bundle appeared in it.

He slowly opened the bundle and took out two objects.

A seal made of premium spirit stones.

A jade plate that did not seem to have many special characteristics.

”Reporting to the Sect Leader, these two objects were found on the body of the Plague Demon King after this disciple killed him. One of them is the seal of the Plague Demon King. Feeling the gravity of this matter, I thought to offer them directly to the Sect Leader,” said Ling Xiao, as someone handed the items to Chang Yueying.

Let’s not talk about that jade plate for now.

When the high-ranking officials heard about the seal of the Plague Demon King, they were so concerned about its significance that they all stood up, attempting to discern whether the seal was indeed genuine.

”That’s right! This is indeed the seal of the Plague Demon King!”

After carefully observing it for a while, Chang Yueying declared solemnly.

”It’s actually real!”

The high-ranking officials felt their heartbeats suddenly accelerate, having seen a lot in their lives but never having seen what a Demon Lord’s Seal looked like.

Based on the most secret documents within the sect, the Demon Lord’s Seal actually contained the inheritance of the nine Martial Souls from the Nine Great Demon Kings.

It was not just a symbol of identity, but also one of strength.

For tens of thousands of years, in search of the Demon Lord’s Seal, the Twelve Sects had nearly turned over the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent.

Unfortunately, the Demon Lord’s Seal also had its own sentience, choosing its own master; it was not something one could possess just by wanting it.

”Ling Xiao, does anyone outside know about this Demon Lord’s Seal?”

Chang Yueying suddenly asked.

”Reporting to the Sect Leader, this disciple has not leaked the matter, and those who know of it are only the ones present here,”

Ling Xiao replied.

”Very well done. By finding the Demon Lord’s Seal, you have contributed greatly. Rest assured, our sect keeps its promises! After this matter is concluded, you will certainly receive a rich reward!”

Chang Yueying was so excited that she could not even maintain her composure.

She understood better than anyone what the inheritance of the Nine Great Demon Kings’ Martial Souls meant.

”Sect Leader, wouldn’t you like to take a look at the other item?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Isn’t this just an ordinary jade plate?”

Perhaps because of the excitement of seeing the Demon Lord’s Seal, Chang Yueying had overlooked the jade plate kept together with it.

Now, holding the jade plate in her hand and infusing it with Soul Power, she was utterly startled!

”Sect Leader, what on earth is that?”

Elder Jin asked in a hurry.

After a long while, Chang Yueying managed to compose herself and then slowly said, ”Have you ever heard of the inheritance of the Martial Soul of the True Demon Emperor?”

”Don’t tell me, Sect Leader, is this jade plate the inheritance of the Martial Soul of the True Demon Emperor?”

It was like a thunderclap exploding out of the blue, leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented.

The inheritance of the Nine Great Demon Kings’ Martial Souls was frightening enough, but what would the inheritance of the Martial Soul of the True Demon Emperor imply?

”That’s not it,”

Chang Yueying shook her head and said, ”This is one of the nine keys to the ’True Demon Empire Treasure,’ and according to legend, the inheritance of the Martial Soul of the True Demon Emperor, as well as many secret Martial Arts manuals and Divine Weapons, are all hidden within it. Its value, I’m afraid, far surpasses the Demon Lord’s Seal by tenfold!”

Chang Yueying tried to steady her voice, but it still trembled slightly.

Because she was too excited.

So excited that she could no longer express her emotions normally.

The Treasure of the True Demon Empire!

The inheritance of the True Demon Emperor!

And countless secret Martial Arts manuals and Divine Weapons!

The high-ranking officials exchanged glances, utterly shocked.

Because they knew exactly what this represented.

No matter what, this item was too precious for a sect to have.
