Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: The One-Eyed Captain

”What’s the matter, has a mere seventeen-year-old boy actually managed to make our experienced and renowned leader Hua Lueying admit defeat?”

With a silk scarf, Hua Fuguang gently wiped her mouth, smiling as she asked.

”Don’t even mention it, big sister, that kid isn’t human at all, he’s a monster!”

Hua Lueying bitterly smiled and said, ”Today you’ve really put me in a tight spot, forcing me to use my Charm Technique, only to end up bringing trouble upon myself.”

”You used your Charm Technique, and yet you still couldn’t conquer him? His willpower is really that formidable?”

Hua Fuguang asked in astonishment.

”It’s not about willpower, but rather his Soul Power is too strong. The moment I used the Charm Technique, it was as if I saw a Demon God appearing before me, and then the technique backfired, leaving me completely bewildered and trapped by my own doing.”

At this point, Hua Lueying felt so mortified she could have died, that embarrassing spectacle having been witnessed by an outsider, especially by the very man she had claimed to pursue—it was utterly depressing.

”It seems that Ling Xiao must have also practiced some Martial Arts that involve the soul. According to our investigation, Ling Xiao knows a woman from the Soul Clan named Ling Yi Xue. He probably learned it from that woman.”

Hua Fuguang pondered for a moment and then said.

”Ling Yi Xue! Big sister, did you say Ling Yi Xue?”

Upon hearing the name, Hua Lueying suddenly stood up in surprise.

”That’s right, it’s Ling Yi Xue, the Holy Maiden of the Soul Palace, a peerless genius!”

Hua Fuguang answered.

”I was wondering, how Ling Xiao could act so brazenly. I didn’t expect him to have ties with a terrifying force like the Soul Palace.”

Hua Lueying was thoroughly disheartened.

”That’s not it. After Ling Yi Xue left Yunkong City from the Heavenly Dragon Continent, there hasn’t been any interaction with Ling Xiao. Therefore, Ling Xiao doesn’t know about her affairs, and he likely has nothing to do with the Soul Palace. Moreover, those folks from the Soul Palace are true Martial Arts overlords, they wouldn’t even spare a glance for someone like Ling Xiao, so how could they possibly allow Ling Yi Xue to be with him?”

Hua Fuguang explained, ”Okay, let’s not talk about Ling Yi Xue anymore. Since Ling Xiao refuses to join us, that’s his loss, not ours. What you need to focus on now is that Treasure.”

”The Imperial Jade Seal?”

”Yes, the news from above mentioned that the Imperial Jade Seal has appeared in Crime City, but we still need to investigate its exact location. As long as we obtain this item, you and I can report back to our superiors, and the rewards we will get are going to be substantial.”

Hua Fuguang nodded and said.

”Alas, it’s a pity. During today’s daytime auction at the Black Wind Building, a bronze seal was sold, but there was no sighting of the Imperial Jade Seal.”

Hua Lueying sighed. She had intended to consider the matter of the Imperial Jade Seal, but couldn’t help recalling the image of Ling Xiao in her mind again.

”What’s happening to me?”

Touching her somewhat hot face, Hua Lueying bitterly smiled.

”Alright, little sister, once we get the Imperial Jade Seal, we will set sail. The Mysterious World is vast; there are plenty of outstanding young men out there, no need to fixate on one and hang from a single tree.”

”Understood, big sister.”

Although she said so, her heart was still filled with unresolved feelings. Was she supposed to just give up on the man she fancied?

...

The auction at the Black Wind Building proceeded as scheduled the next day.

Although many things happened the day before, they did not affect the auction on the following day.

Among the items up for auction on the second day, the most dazzling were an Advanced Yellow Grade elixir, a set of Immortal-grade Treasured Swords, and several sets of Martial Arts used by Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

These were all finale auction items, which in total sold for a high price of 100 million low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, after Black Wind Building extracted its twenty percent commission, there was still eighty million left, all of which belonged to Ling Xiao.

Flower Scourge Shadow was still in the Black Wind Building because the Imperial Jade Seal could emerge here at any time, while her sister, Flower Floating Light, had already started an undercover investigation.

She looked at the VIP booths with some boredom and did not spot Ling Xiao, which left her somewhat disappointed.

”Tower Master Mang Tian, Ling Xiao didn’t come over?”

In the end, Flower Scourge Shadow couldn’t help but ask Mang Tian.

”Ling Xiao won’t be coming today because he is preparing for the Elixir Refining Conference. I’ll personally deliver the spirit stones to him later,” Mang Tian replied.

Although Mang Tian still harbored a strong dissatisfaction towards Ling Xiao, he definitely didn’t dare provoke Ling Xiao carelessly now.

The might of Ling Xiao was beyond doubt.

However, what was most terrifying were the two women beside him, who were simply unfathomably enigmatic.

It was only natural for the weak to submit to the strong, and he certainly didn’t want to joke with his own life.

”Mang Tian, I can bring the spirit stones back, there is no need to trouble you, especially since you aren’t keen on seeing him, right?”

Just at that moment, Yun Ya had finished her hosting duties and came out, smiling and saying to Mang Tian.

”If Princess Emma Ya Cloud wishes to help, I would, of course, be immensely grateful,” Mang Tian responded.

Mang Tian really didn’t want to see Ling Xiao. Every time he saw Ling Xiao, he was reminded of his brother Mang Yuan who was killed, and he feared acting impulsively.

While speaking, he handed a Storage Ring to Yun Ya, ”Inside exactly are 100 million low-grade spirit stones. After Princess Emma Ya Cloud hands over the spirit stones to Ling Xiao, just return the Storage Ring.”

”100 million? Didn’t you take a commission?”

Yun Ya curiously asked.

”The Clan Elder said that no commission should be taken from him.”

Although Mang Tian did not know why, the words of Clan Elder Mang Wu were like imperial decrees to those from the Black Python Clan, and they must listen and comply.

”Mang Tian, where’s Ling Xiao? He didn’t come to Black Wind Building today?”

As Yun Ya took the Storage Ring and was about to leave, someone suddenly barged in. The rough and aggressive voice roared through the Black Wind Building like the howl of a beast.

Many people frowned upon hearing it, quite displeased.

But upon seeing this person, many swallowed their complaints, not daring to speak carelessly.

At the entrance of Black Wind Building, stood a dozen people. The leader had an eyepatch over one eye and was a tall and formidable figure resembling a mini giant; he was about three meters in height.

There were multiple scars on his head and body, making him look extremely ferocious and adding much to his fierce bravado.

”Who do we have here if not the chieftain of the One-eyed Pirate Group, One-Eyed Dragon? What do you need Ling Xiao for?” Mang Tian asked indifferently.

”Nonsense. Of course, it’s for the Gluttonous Martial Soul. That shouldn’t be a problem for you Black Wind Building, right? Where’s that kid? Let him come out and present the Gluttonous Martial Soul to grandpa with both hands,” One-Eyed Dragon loudly declared, making no secret of his intentions.

”This guy really is here for the Gluttonous Martial Soul,” murmured the surrounding martial artists to themselves.

In fact, as of late yesterday evening, the news of the emergence of the Gluttonous Martial Soul had spread far and wide, presumably someone deliberately spread the message.
