Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: Infighting Within the Commercial Firm

”Terrifying!”

People couldn’t help but exclaim; they never anticipated such an outcome.

They had thought that with the arrival of the One-eyed Pirate Group, Ling Xiao’s death was certain.

But now, the only one left was the representative of the Water Temple who had yet to make a move, while the others were all either dead or had fled.

”No wonder this kid scorned the idea of leaving. With such formidable strength and powerful allies, who would they be afraid of?”

”The Water Temple’s representative hasn’t made a move yet; the outcome is still uncertain, after all, that representative is a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist.”

Although Ling Xiao and his group displayed overwhelming force and killing power, the strongest enemy had yet to take action, so the final outcome remained unpredictable.

In another area, atop the highest point of Black Wind Building.

Hua Fuguang stood there with a clear view of the unfolding scene.

Hua Lueying, trapped by a banishment, also had a clear view of the scene.

”Sister, is this the scene you wanted me to witness? Do you feel like you’ve been slapped in the face? Does it hurt?”

Hua Lueying asked with a smile, looking at her sister.

She knew very well that her sister Hua Fuguang brought her here to watch Ling Xiao become a laughingstock and to completely dissuade her from associating with him.

However, what Hua Fuguang didn’t expect was that Ling Xiao would turn the tide so dramatically.

”Slapped in the face? Maybe not. The Water Temple’s representative hasn’t made his move yet. I don’t believe Ling Xiao would dare to strike against the Water Temple’s representative!”

Hua Fuguang gritted her teeth and said.

”Sister, there’s still time to release me now. If the Water Temple’s representative also gets killed later, even if we wanted to form an alliance with Ling Xiao, he probably wouldn’t care for it anymore.”

Hua Lueying reminded her.

”You’re overestimating him. Forget defeating, he won’t even dare to make a move against the Water Temple’s representative today. Just you wait and see.”

Hua Fuguang still insisted.

The Water Temple was a terrifying existence. There once was a pirate group stronger than their Twin Flowers Pirate Group that was active in the Crime City Sea Area.

Their leader, also a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist, faced severe consequences for his insolence towards the Water Temple’s dispatched representative.

Without even lifting a finger, that pirate group was annihilated the very next day, with all bodies floating tragically at sea.

For this reason, Hua Fuguang always obeyed the Water Temple without question and never dared to defy their orders.

Let alone offend them.

”Aren’t you going to make a move?”

Ling Xiao finally turned to the haughty Water Temple representative.

This person had always appeared superior, able to manipulate others’ lives at will.

”You’re not worthy of my action!”

The Water Temple representative coldly looked at Ling Xiao and said, ”If you’re brave enough, don’t leave Crime City today. I will show you the terror of offending the Water Temple.”

”Heh, rest assured, I won’t just stay in Crime City today, I won’t even leave this street.”

Ling Xiao chuckled lightly and casually touched his Storage Ring, causing an open-air pavilion to appear on the street, shading from the sun’s rays.

Inside the pavilion were all sorts of fruits, desserts, and teas.

”Miss Piaoxue, Leng Mei, Princess Emma Ya Cloud, go rest over there. Let’s take care of this nuisance today; there’s no point dragging it into tomorrow. After all, I have to attend the Alchemy Conference tomorrow; I can’t afford the delay.”

As Ling Xiao spoke, he sat down and began eating an apple.

”Master, shall I go and kill that Water Temple representative?”

Leng Mei lowered her voice and said.

”Absolutely not!”

Princess Yun Ya and Fengming Piaoxue almost spoke in unison.

”Oh? Why not?”

Ling Xiao had been considering agreeing to Leng Mei’s request, after all, the representative from the Water Temple truly wished for his death.

Princess Yun Ya recounted the story of how that pirate group was annihilated.

Fengming Piaoxue also described an encounter experienced by Changle Immortal Island.

Both were related to the Water Temple.

That pirate group was eradicated simply because its captain had spoken out of turn.

Changle Immortal Island, on the other hand, faced a direct confrontation with the Water Temple when it tried to extend its influence to the White Tiger Continent.

The result was a resounding defeat!

Not only did they lose many Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists, but they also completely abandoned the thought of extending their power to the White Tiger Continent.

Conversely, the Water Temple’s influence continued to expand in the sea areas of the Divine Phoenix Continent and the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

”Although it’s shameful to air one’s dirty laundry in public, I must tell you, the Water Temple is an existence stronger than the Five Immortal Islands; you can’t afford to provoke them, and even more so, your country can’t afford to provoke them,” said Fengming Piaoxue very seriously.

”Then what should I do? If he insists on killing me, should I just stretch out my neck for him?”

Ling Xiao retorted.

”That’s why I said, it’s best to bear with it for now. That representative from the Water Temple won’t easily make a move. He can control others to attack you, but he generally won’t take action himself, because once he does, it might drag several major forces into it, resulting in a chaotic battle.”

”If he truly makes a move on you, then it’s not too late to deal with him at that time. We must not strike first,” said Fengming Piaoxue.

”Such a hassle, but since you’ve said as much, I’ll give you face, and I’ll give the Water Temple face too. I hope they behave themselves, otherwise, no matter how many representatives they send over, I’ll annihilate as many, without mercy!”

Ling Xiao was reluctant to hold back, but he was also aware that both Fengming Piaoxue and Princess Yun Ya meant well; giving them a bit of face was no big deal.

After all, the representative from the Water Temple in front of him wasn’t too strong of an opponent. Even without the likes of Moon Lady and others stepping in to help, the prospect of this representative easily killing Ling Xiao was next to impossible.

Ling Xiao might not be able to defeat him, but he could hold his own in the fight.

After persuading Ling Xiao, Fengming Piaoxue and Princess Yun Ya went to persuade the representative from the Water Temple.

Their intention was reconciliation, but the representative simply didn’t take the two seriously at all.

”Changle Immortal Island has decent strength, but meddling in the affairs of our Water Temple is not your place!

As for the Tianlong Trade Company, I doubt you alone can represent it, young lady. If I’m not mistaken, Zhang Tiande, the regional manager responsible for the Divine Phoenix Continent and the Heavenly Dragon Continent, should also be in Crime City, right? Would he tolerate you siding with that boy against our Water Temple?”

The representative from the Water Temple clearly had a wariness of the Tianlong Trade Company, but was not intimidated by Princess Yun Ya.

Because Yun Ya could not represent the entire Tianlong Trade Company.

”Hahaha, Representative Yan speaks the truth; that is indeed my sentiment.”

Suddenly, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a group of people hurried over. It turned out to be no other than Zhang Tiande of the Tianlong Trade Company and his entourage.

”Yun Ya, you really have nerves of steel, daring to harm the interests of the Tianlong Trade Company behind my back. How should you answer for your crimes!”

The first words upon arrival were an inquisition directed at Princess Yun Ya.

It was clear that Zhang Tiande held a great disdain for Yun Ya.

”Harming the interests of the Tianlong Trade Company? What prompts you to say such a thing, Manager?”

Yun Ya asked faintly.
