Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: Evil Witchcraft

”A disciple is merely speaking the truth. Corpse Granny is cruel and shameless—am I not even allowed to speak?”

Stewart Scarlett spoke calmly.

In truth, she was neither naive nor innocent.

She knew full well that Blue Wave Island would not stand by her statement.

But she had to say it.

Because it was her conscience.

”Bring her down! Watch her closely and make sure she doesn’t continue to spout nonsense.”

Before Stewart Scarlett could finish speaking, Seng Li waved his hand, and a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist stepped out to take her away.

Stewart Scarlett did not resist, but her heart felt cold.

She cast a glance at Seng Li and said, ”Even though I don’t know what you’re thinking, Deputy Island Master, offending Ling Xiao at this time is unwise. Furthermore, pinning the disgraceful acts of your own family onto others is despicable. I recall you once said that those who are shameless will face retribution—don’t you fear it?”

”Take her away.”

Seng Li waved his hand again and did not respond to Stewart Scarlett.

He had no answer.

Teaching disciples is one thing, but whether one can live up to their teachings is another.

He thought the Rose Sword was still too naive.

A smug smile spread across Corpse Granny’s face.

Who was she?

She was Blue Wave Island’s Deputy Island Master, one of the two top-tier Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists.

Killing an insignificant disciple of Blue Wave Island was nothing to her. Even if she turned a hundred Blue Wave Island disciples into zombies or skeletons, the island would remain silent.

This wasn’t her first time.

Not only did Deputy Island Master Seng Li know, but even the Island Master was aware.

Even if it were a thousand or ten thousand ordinary disciples, they wouldn’t compare to her combat prowess.

Blue Wave Island needed her; thus, they wouldn’t act against her.

If Stewart Scarlett failed to see through this, then she was truly foolish.

From the start, there was only one conclusion—

Ling Xiao was evil, Stewart Scarlett was manipulated and couldn’t discern good from bad, while Corpse Granny was a flawless and pure white lotus.

This was the reality—not only in Blue Wave Island but across the major powers of the Mysterious World.

This was not a secret but a shared understanding.

Seng Li’s cold gaze fell upon Ling Xiao, his pupils filled with intense killing intent.

”Surround them! Don’t let them escape!”

At his command, Blue Wave Island’s members encircled Ling Xiao and Leng Mei entirely, even blocking escape routes from above.

”Ling Xiao, our Island Master sees that you are young and ignorant and thus has no desire to become your enemy. He specifically instructed us not to trouble you. But you truly lack awareness! You refuse to repent and repeatedly attack our Blue Wave Island Martial Artists—how can I let you go?”

As the encirclement took shape, Seng Li breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew Ling Xiao was formidable, but this time, he had brought a group of elites. He didn’t believe Ling Xiao could escape this siege.

”Corpse Granny, heal yourself quickly. Beware of anyone attempting to rescue this scoundrel so that we can join forces.”

Still unsettled, Seng Li reminded Corpse Granny once more.

”Heh-heh, don’t worry. As long as I have enough nourishment, I recover quickly.”

Corpse Granny revealed a grim smile.

”Here you go!”

Seng Li waved his Storage Ring and unleashed more than a dozen Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

They were from various sects, including members from the Phoenix God Empire and Black Crow Empire.

Blue Wave Island truly was audacious.

”Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, save me!”

Suddenly, one of them turned and shouted toward Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao looked closely and saw that it was a Martial Artist he had encountered back in the Divine Capital. His cultivation level was not weak; he had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

”How were you captured as well?”

”Your Majesty, we were part of a group of more than twenty sent by the Emperor to protect and assist you, but we were ambushed by these members of Blue Wave Island. Some were killed; I was captured alive, and two brothers died on the spot. The rest have likely gone into hiding somewhere.”

The man answered.

”What was the purpose of that?”

Ling Xiao sighed. He understood Wu Xiang’s goodwill but felt it was unnecessary.

A group of more than twenty Heavenly Realm Martial Artists was indeed not weak, but here in Crime City, they seemed insignificant.

Since they were here, however, as the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, Ling Xiao would not allow them to die.

”Don’t worry; I won’t let you perish. The others—I’ll rescue them too.”

Ling Xiao looked at the man and said.

”Hahaha! You brat must’ve gone mad! Facing our heavily fortified encirclement, you dare speak such absurd words? Do you think we’re all here for nothing?”

Blue Wave Island’s elites laughed mockingly at Ling Xiao’s baseless confidence.

”Anyone I choose to save will not go unsaved.”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, ”Since you don’t believe me, I might as well save them all. Honestly, I’m curious—if these people survive, what will Blue Wave Island do?”

”A nice idea, but unfortunately, you lack the ability to carry it out.”

Seng Li glanced at Ling Xiao and then addressed Corpse Granny, ”Old partner, aren’t you going to enjoy this feast? Do you really want someone else to rescue them?”

”Heh-heh, Seng Li, I’ll gladly accept this generous gift. Rest assured—you’ll be well-rewarded later.”

Corpse Granny smiled excitedly as black energy began to spread rapidly.

”Pardon the inconvenience!”

Ling Xiao’s figure vanished abruptly. In full view of Blue Wave Island’s elites, he broke through the encirclement and used the Beast Ring to collect those captured individuals.

By the time Seng Li attempted to stop him, it was already too late.

Although Seng Li had been somewhat wary of Ling Xiao, in his eyes, Ling Xiao was still just a minor figure—not someone to take seriously.

This small bit of carelessness had allowed Ling Xiao to succeed.

He felt his face burn as though he had been slapped hard.

”You brat, so I underestimated you. But no matter. When you die, they’ll die as well!”

Seng Li was livid with humiliation.

Being embarrassed in front of so many disciples by such a young Martial Artist made him lose face.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly.

Many people wanted him dead, yet many had faced demise ahead of him.

”Deputy Island Masters, the vile Ling Xiao had previously murdered our Young Island Master, is now scheming against Corpse Granny, and even sowing discord, making Stewart Scarlett unable to distinguish between right and wrong. He must be severely punished!”

One of the Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists proclaimed loudly.

”Indeed, Ling Xiao is the great enemy of Blue Wave Island. If we let go of this chance to execute him, our Blue Wave Island will lose all reputation in Jianghu!”

Another Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist echoed.

”Kill Ling Xiao! Punish the traitor!”

Except for Stewart Scarlett, all the disciples on Blue Wave Island shouted in unison. In their eyes, Ling Xiao was nothing more than a mere ant, easily annihilated.
