Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Her Highness Moon Lady_1

Elder Jin’s words to Ling Xiao were actually quite clear, ”Core Disciples and the Sect Leader don’t even regard you highly, and you, just an Outer Disciple with a Precious Treasure Body, are simply trash. How dare you make such a demand?”

”Whether I am qualified or not is not for you, Elder Jin, to decide. If the Sect Leader refuses, naturally, I will not pester her. Though I am but an Outer Disciple, an existence akin to an ant, even ants have dignity, unlike some people who don’t even care to save face!”

By that moment, Ling Xiao was no longer afraid of Elder Jin’s oppressive aura.

If it had been the first time, he might have trembled and been affected.

However, this was already the third time Elder Jin had used the same method to deal with him. The Mountain and River Martial Soul had long adapted to this kind of aura and instantly turned it into nourishment, feeding it into Ling Xiao’s soul and continuously strengthening it.

”You!”

Elder Jin was truly so angry he could spit blood. He hadn’t expected that in front of so many people, Ling Xiao would dare to talk back to him.

What shocked him the most was that his terrifying aura couldn’t make Ling Xiao feel fear; that was the biggest problem.

”Alright, Head of Enforcement Hall, since when is it your turn to intervene in the affairs of our sect? Could it be you’ve grown tired of your position as the head and wish to become a steward here instead?”

Chang Yueying’s voice carried an indifferent tone. She was utterly disappointed with the Head of Enforcement Hall, but since this person held significant power within the Moon Hua Sect, he was not someone who could be easily dismissed.

Elder Jin had truly shot himself in the foot with his actions. Perhaps his dislike for Ling Xiao was so intense that it made him lose his composure.

Ling Xiao awaited the reply from Sect Leader Chang Yueying.

After all, he was just testing the waters; if Chang Yueying agreed, that would be best. If she didn’t, then he could exchange this third request for something else.

He could always settle for less and ask to be mentored by another Inner Sect Elder and learn Martial Arts.

Therefore, this attempt was definitely worth it.

However, after Chang Yueying stopped Elder Jin from pressuring Ling Xiao, she fell into silence, her face showing a hint of sadness as if lost in deep thought.

”Hahaha, Ling Xiao, why not become a disciple of this Venerable? I assure you, I will pass all my profound arts to you! The Sect Leader does not dislike you; she has her own unspeakable difficulties and cannot take you as her disciple!”

In the midst of the heavily oppressive atmosphere, the laughter of Golden Light Heavenly Lord was like a warm spring breeze that eased the tension.

In fact, having Ling Xiao become a disciple of Golden Light Heavenly Lord was not a bad idea, as his personality was to Ling Xiao’s liking.

But Golden Light Heavenly Lord couldn’t suppress Elder Jin, which Ling Xiao could also see, so he remained hesitant.

”Golden Light, don’t make it difficult for the boy. Even if the Sect Leader can’t take him, I can. It doesn’t have to be you.”

Guanghan Celestial Venerate said with a smile.

”If possible, I, the Master of Wangming Tower, can also take him as my disciple.”

The Master of Wangming Tower suddenly spoke up.

”You Inner Sect old timers don’t need to fight over him with me. He is currently an Outer Disciple, and as the Outer Sect Hall Master, wouldn’t it be perfect for me to take him as a disciple?”

Venerable Pure Sky became anxious. His carefully cultivated disciple could not be snatched away by others.

Unexpectedly, five Heavenly Man Realm experts wanted to take Ling Xiao as their disciple, which greatly surprised many who were not too familiar with Ling Xiao.

”You all need not argue. From now on, Ling Xiao, you will train with us, the five Elder Supremes of the Enforcement Hall!”

Suddenly, a flicker of strangeness passed through Elder Jin’s eyes, and then he spoke out loudly.

He might be wary of Sect Leader Chang Yueying, but he was not afraid of anyone else.

Therefore, if it came to competing for a disciple, no one could beat him.

”Thank you for your kind offer, Elder Jin, but Ling Xiao has no intention of taking someone he dislikes as a mentor!”

Ling Xiao was well aware that once these words were spoken, it would be an outright declaration of hostility against Elder Jin, leaving no room for reconciliation.

However, he had never intended to reconcile.

The one who should be afraid and worried wasn’t him, but Elder Jin!

Although his current cultivation level was not as high as Elder Jin’s, the fact that he possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul and the inheritance of the Ancient Golden Dragon meant his future prospects were hundreds, if not thousands of times greater than Elder Jin’s.

Being apprenticed to Elder Jin, he feared he might not learn anything at all and might even end up being completely ruined.

Any person with a bit of sense could figure this out.

”Well said!”

Suddenly, an ethereal voice resounded in the grand hall.

It was the pleasing voice of a woman.

Ling Xiao suddenly trembled with excitement.

He recognized the voice, it belonged to the blue-clad woman he had encountered in the Fulong Mountain Range.

Back then, that lady had also spoken a single sentence, a remark that he still remembered vividly.

”Hehe, Chang Yueying, if you refuse to take him as your disciple, how about you let me have him?”

The voice continued to echo, but no one could be seen approaching.

”Your Highness Moon Lady!”

Chang Yueying stood up from her seat in shock and promptly knelt on the ground.

The rest of the Sect Elders also knelt down one after another.

However, Ling Xiao was utterly dumbfounded.

Just who was this so-called ”Her Highness Moon Lady,” that even the Sect Leader had to kneel before her?

This was too outrageous!

”Everyone rise. Chang Yueying, I understand that you have been brooding over your husband’s death and have resolved to cultivate your own son with all your might, which is why you swore at your husband’s grave not to take in any more disciples. So why not let me have him?”

The voice spoke again.

”It would indeed be a great fortune for this child to become Your Highness Moon Lady’s disciple, but do you really intend to take him as your apprentice? Didn’t you once say you were looking for someone with peerless talent to cultivate as the future hope of Moon Hua Sect?”

Chang Yueying asked, puzzled.

Ling Xiao’s talents were certainly outstanding, but they could not be considered peerless. Her Highness Moon Lady had been awake for more than ten thousand years and had seen countless geniuses, yet none had ever caught her eye.

What was so special about Ling Xiao?

Chang Yueying was both confused and surprised.

Not to mention her, even Ling Xiao himself was somewhat baffled.

His only encounter with this Her Highness Moon Lady was a single brief meeting; even if he had performed outstandingly recently, excluding the Mountain and River Martial Soul and the Ancient Golden Dragon, he would definitely not be considered to possess peerless talent.

Why would Her Highness Moon Lady want to take him as a disciple?

After the initial excitement and thrill had passed, Ling Xiao regained his composure and began to consider whether he should accept Her Highness Moon Lady as his master.

Clearly, her status within the Moon Hua Sect was likely even higher than Chang Yueying’s. If he could become her disciple, not only could he fulfill his original plan, but he would probably also gain even more benefits.

However, Martial Arts Secret Books don’t just fall from the sky without any conditions, do they? Could there really be no catch?
