Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1387: Ling Xiao Annihilation Plan

On this day, a major event occurred in the Divine Phoenix Imperial City.

The Ling Yue Bieyuan, established nearly twenty years ago, was reduced to ashes by a great fire.

The flames burned for as long as two shichen before extinguishing, and those who saw it said it was like a doomsday scene.

Strangely, the buildings near Ling Yue Bieyuan were not damaged at all.

And on this day, the name Ling Xiao once again became legendary!

While others were busy discussing the event, Ling Xiao had already returned to Qingxu College, retreating into a secret realm to cultivate in seclusion.

After the battle with Manager Jia, he gained too much; just achieving enlightenment wasn’t enough to fully digest those experiences.

What he needed to do now was to consolidate his cultivation level while diligently mastering the Divine Sword of Light, the Dark Demon Sword, and the Sword of the Human King.

On the first day of Ling Xiao’s return to Qingxu College, everything was calm.

However, beneath the calm surface of the Imperial Capital, undercurrents were stirring.

With the deaths of Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming, in addition to the earlier killings of Ji Mingxing, Fengming Heishan, and Penɡ Yue, Ling Xiao had thoroughly angered some significant powers in the Imperial Capital.

Especially the Righteous Qi Alliance’s Jardine Clan, the Peacock Clan, the Roc Clan, and those aligned with Phoenix Immeasurable, they all harbored deep hatred for Ling Xiao.

At a certain place in the Imperial Capital, within a pitch-black space, a few figures could be dimly seen.

They were seated around a round table, the atmosphere cold and stagnant.

”Ling Xiao must die!”

After a long silence, an old voice spoke coldly.

”But with the Moon Lady protecting Ling Xiao, we can’t possibly all go after her, right? If both sides suffer great losses, it might give the Black Crow Empire an opportunity to exploit,”

another person said.

”Dealing with the Moon Lady is indeed difficult. With her around, killing Ling Xiao would come at a great cost,”

said yet another person.

”Are our people to die in vain because of this? Aren’t your Peacock Clan, Roc Clan, and Jardine Clan all useless?”

The first speaker suddenly looked at the other three.

The faces of these three, illuminated by dim light, turned out to be the Righteous Alliance Leader, Jia Yueting from the Jardine Clan;

Kong Ran, the Peacock Clan Leader, and their top expert;

Penɡ Nan Tian, the Roc Clan Leader, and their top expert.

These three were all Yin-Yang Realm powerhouses, with cultivation levels reaching the second stage of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Although not as strong as Fengming Xiao or the Moon Lady, their combined strength could still shock countless Martial Artists.

Yet, the person in the darkness who had not shown their face dared to speak to them in such a manner. Just how formidable was that person’s strength?

”Chief, it’s not that we are useless, but the Moon Lady is too strong. She is an expert from the Ancient Era. Even if the three of us join forces, we are no match for her and can only stall for a little time,”

Jia Yueting frowned and said.

”Enough! I don’t want to hear such words. Ling Xiao must be taught a lesson for what he did in Ling Yue Bieyuan.”

The elder, called Chief, shouted, ”Send Ying Tian Xia, Sword Demon, and Zhu Wen. They are all Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists and among the Ten Phoenix Sons—the Thunderhawk Princess, Sword Phoenix Prince, and Vermilion Bird Phoenix Prince. With them acting, the Moon Lady shouldn’t interfere easily.

If she does, I will personally deal with her. As for the others, leave them to you all.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Yueting and the other three were delighted.

The Thunderhawk Princess was previously ranked eighth, but with a new member among the Ten Phoenix Sons rumored to be stronger than Feng Yingshan and Fengming Qishan, her rank dropped by one.

The Sword Demon was recently bestowed the position of the tenth Phoenix Son by Phoenix Immeasurable.

His strength wasn’t necessarily inferior to the Thunderhawk Princess; he just ended up last due to being new.

As for Zhu Wen, he was originally ranked seventh and is now the eighth—as the Vermilion Bird Phoenix Prince.

These three had comparable cultivation levels and abilities, all being prodigies of the Third Cave Sky Realm.

Moreover, they were not ordinary Third Cave Sky Realm experts; they were geniuses, far stronger than average Third Cave Sky Realm Martial Artists.

If Ling Xiao were here, he would likely be very interested in the name Sword Demon, because this person was the one who had destroyed his statue in the Divine Capital of the Heavenly Dynasty and killed many of his subjects.

Since Ling Xiao arrived at the Divine Phoenix Imperial City, he had been looking for Sword Demon, but unfortunately, he wasn’t in the city then and was reportedly on an assignment from his sect to visit friends outside.

So that grudge remained unsettled.

Of course, Sword Demon was also eager to see Ling Xiao.

He was quite disappointed that he didn’t see Ling Xiao back in the Divine Capital of Tiandynasty.

”With these three in action, Ling Xiao will surely suffer even if he doesn’t die!”

Jia Yueting and the others showed a smile.

These three weren’t like Jia Tianfeng, Kong Ming, or weaklings like Penɡ Yue and Kong He; they were far more formidable.

Any one of them could give Ling Xiao a hard time, not to mention the three working together.

”In that case, let’s act immediately!”

The Chief said coldly.

”Yes, sir!”

Jia Yueting, Kong Ran, and Penɡ Nan Tian turned and left.

The remaining shadows gradually disappeared, several of which turned out not to be real people but mere soul projections, though these were produced by Magical Treasures and were vastly different from genuine Soul Emergences, still requiring tremendous Soul Power.

At least, they would have to be Yin-Yang Realm experts.

It was evident that there were ten people in that room, all Yin-Yang Realm experts. Such a gathering of experts was truly terrifying.

Yet amusingly, they gathered just to deal with a 17-year-old boy.

When only the Chief remained in the dark room, he lightly tapped the table and then spoke, his voice heavy: ”Wind Devil, follow them and find a chance to kill Ling Xiao!”

”Master, is this necessary? It’s just Ling Xiao. Those three Phoenix Sons alone should handle him easily,”

a shadow flickered in the darkness, its voice eerie.

”Don’t be careless. Ling Xiao is not an ordinary boy; his repeated miracles even surprise me. This boy might be harder to deal with than Ji Lingyue back in the day,”

the Chief said coldly.

”You are right, Master, but no matter how strong Ji Lingyue was, she was stripped of her Martial Soul and hasn’t been seen for over a decade; she should be dead by now, right?”

”Not necessarily. That little girl’s talent was terrifying. In Martial Arts alone, she was fearsome, not to mention she inherited her mother’s Soul Power talent. Until I see her body, I am uneasy.”

The Chief shook his head. ”Go, Ling Xiao must die. I cannot allow a second Ji Lingyue to appear.”

”Yes!”

...

At Qingxu College, Ling Xiao, Joshua Long, Fengming Lian, and others were all in secluded cultivation.

At this moment, three people stood on the statues of past deans in the Qingxu College plaza.

One wielded a black longsword, cold and sinister, looking down upon everything;

another had wings, arms crossed over his chest, appearing majestic and awe-inspiring;

the third emanated a seven-colored glow, dreamlike and mysterious, giving off a strong sense of mystery.
