Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: Plaza Accord

Yun Ya analyzed, ”Phoenix God College, Qingxu College, the Phoenix God Empire court, Black Crow Empire, Changle Immortal Island, and Blackwater Immortal Island have all sent representatives.”

”Additionally, Mo Chou from Blue Wave Island seems to have colluded with the Water Temple, which might put you at a disadvantage this time.”

Ling Xiao nodded and said, ”That was within my expectations. However, the current situation is still unclear. They likely wouldn’t attack me outright, because if I continue to weaken their forces, they’ll be at a disadvantage in the fight for the Imperial Jade Seal.”

”This Imperial Jade Seal is truly a disaster. For its sake, people who originally had no quarrels are now killing each other. In just these three days, Crime City has turned into a river of blood, a veritable hell.”

Hua Fuguang added.

”You call it a disaster, yet in the eyes of others, it’s a treasure.”

Ling Xiao smirked to himself. He had cleverly used the Golden Cicada Shelling technique to pass the burden onto others. Without it, even with the Moon Lady’s protection, he would’ve been skinned alive if not outright killed.

Ancient supreme treasures and the Human King Notes—such allure was anything but ordinary.

”Are they just going to keep making a mess until no one benefits in the end?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Not at all!”

Yun Ya shook her head and said, ”Medicine King Sun Ran and Ji Qing proposed a suggestion. Instead of fighting to the death, everyone should work together to research the secrets of the Imperial Jade Seal. Whoever first deciphers the Human King Notes will claim the Imperial Jade Seal.”

”However, the Notes must be shared.”

Not everyone aspired to rule the world, but every martial artist desired the Human King Notes.

If the Notes were to be made public, most martial artists would lose their competitive target, and the killings would naturally cease.

”Those two are impressive, but will the Water Temple really cooperate obediently?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”That’s not up to the Water Temple. You should know that Medicine King Sun Ran is one of the most outstanding alchemists across the top three continents, and Ji Qing is the strongest person in Tianlong Trade Company across those same continents.”

”Not only are they powerful, but they have extensive connections.”

”If they make a call, most people will comply. If the Water Temple truly refuses, it’s possible it will be destroyed in a coalition of factions.”

”Right now, apart from the Ghost Divine Hall, all other factions in Crime City have agreed to this proposal.”

”The Ghost Divine Hall remains as arrogant as ever—they likely plan to make a move midway through and have no interest in cooperating with others.”

Ling Xiao chuckled and said, ”But these people should only be part of the Ghost Divine Hall’s White Tiger Continent branch. Are they really that confident?”

”It’s not about confidence; they’re genuinely very strong. So far, after spending so much time in Crime City, they’ve killed numerous people, yet not a single one of them has been injured. It’s practically a miracle.”

Yun Ya smiled bitterly and said, ”They are currently the one true wildcard. Young Master Ling, are you planning to join the fray?”

”Of course. Why wouldn’t I?”

Ling Xiao naturally wanted to join. The reasoning was simple—if he refrained, others might begin to doubt the authenticity of the Imperial Jade Seal.

After all, the item had once been in his possession. If he didn’t show even a hint of concern, others would start to suspect him.

”Why do I have the feeling that the biggest wildcard isn’t the Ghost Divine Hall, but you?”

Princess Yun Ya smiled.

Ling Xiao also smiled but said nothing.

If it served his interests, he wouldn’t mind becoming a disruptor in this game.

...

Under the guidance of Medicine King Sun Ran, Ji Qing, Jackson Le Grandmaster, and other figures, most martial artists began gathering at Changle Square.

The slaughter among them became increasingly rare and eventually ceased altogether.

Even the Ghost Divine Hall halted its killings.

It wasn’t that they suddenly had a change of heart, but rather that they had no choice.

When all the martial artists assembled together, making a rash move would likely lead to disastrous consequences.

While arrogant, they weren’t fools and had no desire to waste their strength.

The Water Temple had yet to make its appearance.

But they were merely observing.

If the majority of martial artists agreed to this decision, they wouldn’t oppose it.

For several days now, they had been researching the secrets of the Imperial Jade Seal without discovering its key mysteries.

If they couldn’t unravel them, they might as well borrow the strength of the world’s heroes.

Their main concern was that stepping out too early would draw undue attention from others.

Thus, waiting was a prudent choice.

For the moment, the blood-soaked Crime City suddenly became peaceful.

But this peace felt like the calm before a storm, carrying a heavy, oppressive tension that was hard to ignore.

The pressure was so suffocating that many people found it hard to breathe.

Finally, as night began to fall, Changle Square remained brightly illuminated.

Various magical treasures and specially crafted magic arrays turned the area into a scene as bright as daylight.

Ling Xiao and Leng Mei stood amidst the crowd, dressed plainly, appearing as two insignificant nobodies.

If one didn’t scrutinize closely, it would be difficult to identify them.

At this moment, Ling Xiao had his eyes closed, his Soul Core detached from his body, roaming the Square to gather information.

To those who didn’t know better, he simply seemed asleep.

Unbeknownst to them, he was fully aware of everything happening in the Square.

Within a radius of several miles, even the faintest breeze could not escape the net cast by his soul power.

If anyone could see Ling Xiao’s soul power, they would notice it had woven an intricate web across the area.

Like a spider’s web, only far more refined.

Whoever touched this web, Ling Xiao would immediately sense their presence.

This technique for utilizing soul power was one he had first employed while evading enemies in the Fulong Mountain Range. Back then, however, his skills had been far weaker.

Now, deploying it as a martial artist in the Half-step Cave Sky Realm made it truly formidable.

Coupled with the Tai Chi Eye, no one, not even those holding their breath and sneaking around, could escape his dual perception.

From a purely sensory perspective, his detection capabilities were even more terrifying than those of Yin-Yang Realm martial artists.

At this moment, Changle Square felt like his personal Cave Realm.

”The Water Temple is here?”

Ling Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly as two distinct figures appeared in his mind.

One of them, extravagantly dressed, was none other than Zhang Tian De.

The other, clad in a water-blue robe, was Representative Yan.

These two had been plotting tirelessly to eliminate Ling Xiao for some time now. Unfortunately for them, despite their schemes, they had never succeeded.

”Wait, only these two showed up? It seems they’re here to test the waters.”

Ling Xiao grinned faintly. Since the pair was so eager to attend this ”banquet,” he might as well seize the opportunity to take them out.

With Leng Mei’s assistance, killing these two would be as easy as turning over his hand.

Previously, he hadn’t had an opportunity, which allowed them to roam free. Now that one had come, Ling Xiao wasn’t about to let it slip.
