Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: The Mysterious Momentum

Even a Martial Artist who has just entered the Yin-Yang Realm is still a Yin-Yang Realm expert!

In the Heavenly Dragon Continent and the Divine Phoenix Continent, they would absolutely be considered top-class powerhouses.

Even in the White Tiger Continent, they would undoubtedly be among the elites.

However, just as he finished speaking, a chain pierced through his throat.

A dignified Yin-Yang Realm Martial Artist was easily exterminated.

The source of the chain was a sedan chair.

A pitch-black sedan chair, inside which lay a coffin emitting an eerie aura.

The sedan chair was carried by four hefty giants.

These four giants were also clad in prison garments, standing over four to five meters tall, with their massive figures appearing fearsome. Yet, the sedan chair was even larger.

As they carried it, there was no sense of incongruity.

”Run!”

A Yin-Yang Realm Martial Artist had been killed; the remaining people dared not linger and fled desperately into the city.

But no one succeeded in escaping.

From behind the black sedan chair, more than a dozen ferocious black dogs suddenly pounced.

These black dogs radiated an aura of death, their eyes blood-red, their enormous bodies towering over two meters tall.

The black dogs caught up with the fleeing Martial Artists, slammed them down, and tore their throats out with one bite.

In an instant, only a third of the Martial Artists guarding the gates remained.

However, these attackers seemed not intent on extermination, sparing the Heavenly People Realm Martial Artists they deemed unworthy.

This strange and terrifying procession brazenly entered Crime City.

The surviving Martial Artists panted heavily in terror, many unable to control themselves, wetting and soiling their garments.

Who were these horrifying figures?

They now felt an irresistible urge to escape Crime City.

Yet, the sea was sealed by powerful pirates, and even if they fled the city, they could not leave the surrounding waters.

...

In Ling Xiao’s room, the firelight flickered uncertainly.

Leng Mei, Hua Fuguang, and Hua Lueying guarded the entrance without pause.

Apart from Princess Yun Ya, no one else could easily enter this place.

As for Moon Lady, after defeating Blue Wave Island’s Island Master Mo Chou, she had returned to her secluded cultivation.

Unless Ling Xiao was in danger, she likely would not emerge easily.

Suddenly, a strong aroma of medicine wafted from the room, prompting Princess Yun Ya to show a bitter smile.

This Ling Xiao was truly a monster among monsters.

Not only in Martial Arts but also in Alchemy.

At the Alchemy Conference, he displayed his remarkable alchemical skills.

And here, he demonstrated his astonishing speed in pill crafting.

In just three days, he had refined hundreds of thousands of pills—a speed that even Medicine King Sun Ran could not guarantee.

Yet Ling Xiao made it possible.

Though Princess Yun Ya had not witnessed the entire alchemical process, she guessed it was closely tied to Ling Xiao’s mastery of assembly-line-style alchemy.

This alchemical process was highly systematic, wasting not a single second. While its advantages might not be apparent when refining small quantities of pills, its efficacy during large-scale production was overwhelmingly evident.

In this aspect, Ling Xiao surpassed Sun Ran by a significant margin.

She did not know the source of Ling Xiao’s knowledge, much like how she had been utterly astonished by his alchemical machinery designs.

With his invention, Alchemists could liberate themselves from the tedious processes of refining pills, enabling them to research better formulas or improve pill quality without wasting their time entirely on crafting.

This innovation could undeniably revolutionize the Alchemist profession.

Princess Yun Ya even suspected that whoever mastered this technology would wield control over the future of the Mysterious World.

She increasingly realized how wise her decision had been to collaborate with Ling Xiao, a man full of groundbreaking ideas and unexpected ingenuity.

Inside the room, Ling Xiao’s face showed a satisfied smile.

Having completed this batch of pills, though the strength of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire might not achieve a qualitative leap, it would still increase significantly.

By then, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire would be able to stand on par with the Seven Martial Islands.

An individual’s strength is undoubtedly important.

But the power of a nation is equally crucial.

If tens of thousands of Heavenly People Realm Martial Artists were to launch an attack simultaneously, paired with Array Formations, even a Yin-Yang Realm Martial Artist could be defeated.

Let alone a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist.

After storing away the pills, Ling Xiao stretched and left the room.

”Congratulations, Young Master Ling. The pills have finally been successfully crafted.”

Princess Yun Ya approached with a smile.

”Thank you. By the way, have those puppet machinery materials been prepared?” Ling Xiao asked.

”Not yet. Crime City has been completely chaotic these last few days, even worse than before,” Princess Yun Ya replied, shaking her head. ”Our communications have been entirely cut off.”

”I see. No rush; we can deal with that after leaving Crime City. Is Sister Moon still in seclusion?”

Ling Xiao glanced toward the adjacent room, where the gentle Moonlight Power radiated a soothing feeling.

”Yes, she’s still cultivating,” Princess Yun Ya affirmed with a nod.

”Tell me about the last three days. I’ve been occupied with alchemy and haven’t kept an eye on the outside world. How is Mo Chou, the Blue Wave Island’s Island Master? And what have Zhang Tian De and Representative Yan been up to?”

Ling Xiao inquired.

”I was about to bring that up even if you didn’t ask,” Princess Yun Ya responded with a smile. ”Crime City has clearly become the battlefield for various major factions, completely descending into chaos.

The Water Temple sent additional reinforcements to protect the Imperial Jade Seal. Tianhai Zhen Zhu and Heavy Water Protector are currently being sheltered and recovering from their injuries.”

”The Water Temple hasn’t come looking for trouble with me?”

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

”No, they’re so preoccupied with safeguarding the Imperial Jade Seal that they don’t have time for you,” Princess Yun Ya replied, shaking her head. ”Aside from the Water Temple, there’s an even stronger and more terrifying faction you were concerned about. The Ghost Divine Hall has sent people here too!”

”So they’ve really arrived. Are they after the Imperial Jade Seal as well?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Correct. The Ghost Divine Hall and the Water Temple are currently the two most powerful forces in Crime City. The Water Temple is solely focused on protecting the Imperial Jade Seal.

But the Ghost Divine Hall has done far stranger things. Many Martial Artists who never provoked them were killed by their hands.

Strangely, after killing these people, the victims’ souls would be taken, just like what Corpse Granny does.”

Princess Yun Ya warned.

Ling Xiao furrowed his brows and said, ”It seems Corpse Granny wasn’t lying. She truly has the backing of the Ghost Divine Hall.”

”Indeed, but neither of these two factions has deployed their full forces, leaving the nearby major factions of the Divine Phoenix Continent and surrounding seas still with a chance to compete for the Imperial Jade Seal.”

Princess Yun Ya nodded and remarked, ”Crime City is currently in a state of delicate balance.”
