Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”It turns out it’s the Shaw Clan causing trouble again. It seems they plan to wipe out their own clan!”

Ling Xiao’s face was as dark as it could get.

”But behind the Shaw Clan, there should be people from the Sha Clan, right.”

Ling Xiao knew very well that the Shaw Clan and the Zhou Clan had excellent relations with the Sha Clan. On the surface, this matter was the Shaw Clan’s doing, but in the shadows, the Sha Clan was definitely involved.

After all, to dispatch so many experts at once, relying solely on the Shaw Clan would be challenging.

”Forget it, I won’t think about it for now. Let’s head to the Tianlong Trade Company first.”

Issues need to be resolved one at a time. The primary concern now is to find out what exactly happened in Yuhua Town.

Before long, he arrived at the Tianlong Trade Company.

Lin Fengyuan warmly led him inside, praising him all the way, mostly talking about the Ghost Prison trial.

However, Ling Xiao didn’t listen to a word.

In the room, he saw Old Black, still very weak and pale-faced.

Old Black was the most loyal servant to Ling Yuhua and was second in power only to Ling Yuhua within the family.

According to Lin Fengyuan, when Old Black was rescued, he was barely hanging on. They used top-grade Injury Healing Pills to save him.

”Shopkeeper Lin, I won’t forget your great kindness. Charge all of Old Black’s expenses to me.”

Ling Xiao naturally wouldn’t let Lin Fengyuan suffer any loss.

After all, the person saved was his own.

”Young Master Ling, you’re too polite. You can chat first, and I’ll excuse myself.”

Lin Fengyuan tactfully exited the room, leaving it to Ling Xiao and Old Black.

He hadn’t mentioned those words to gain wealth but to foster a closer relationship with Ling Xiao.

However, since Ling Xiao misunderstood, it could be clarified later. Now wasn’t the time, as Ling Xiao wasn’t in the mood to listen.

”Old Black, what exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured while escaping?”

Once the room was devoid of outsiders, to be cautious, Ling Xiao took out an Array Refining Stone, shielding the space.

He didn’t want too many people knowing his business.

”It’s the Demon Shadow Sect!”

Old Black sighed and said, ”Demon Shadow Sect has made its move on Yuhua Town.”

”What’s going on? Why did the Demon Shadow Sect target Yuhua Town? Is it because of me?”

Ling Xiao was momentarily stunned and then pursued further.

”Probably not. Yuhua Town is the closest town to Eight Immortals County City.

I heard from the disciples of the Demon Shadow Sect that they wanted to hold a rehearsal in Yuhua Town to test the effects of the Bloodsucking Sacrifice.”

Old Black explained.

”Bloodsucking Sacrifice!”

Ling Xiao instantly grasped the situation.

The Eight Immortals County City was vast, and there were many experts. The Demon Shadow Sect had to be extremely cautious to conduct a Bloodsucking Sacrifice there.

That’s why they chose Yuhua Town for a preliminary rehearsal.

The entire rehearsal process would probably follow the exact course of the Bloodsucking Sacrifice planned for Eight Immortals County City.

Doing so has two advantages.

First, it could increase the success rate of the Bloodsucking Sacrifice in Eight Immortals County City.

Second, it could draw everyone’s attention to Yuhua Town.

This way, the Bloodsucking Sacrifice in Eight Immortals County City can be prepared more safely.

Thinking of this, a chill crept into his heart.

Although he didn’t know what the Bloodsucking Sacrifice was, Yuhua Town was likely in a perilous situation.

”Old Black, rest here. I’ll make a trip to Yuhua Town.”

Not for anything else, but even for Ling Jiaojiao, he had to make this trip.

Moreover, the Demon Shadow Sect was his enemy. If he didn’t deal with them, they would eventually trouble him. It’s best to handle this cleanly.

Sensing the sudden icy killing intent emanating from Ling Xiao, Old Black quickly grabbed his sleeve: ”Young Master Ling Xiao, calm down. I’ve been away from Yuhua Town for just a day.

From what they said, the rehearsal of the Bloodsucking Sacrifice will follow the real thing, and setting up the array formation and gathering materials will take three or four days.

So Yuhua Town shouldn’t be in danger yet. I know you’re anxious, but rushing recklessly would mean a one-way trip.”

Hearing Old Black’s words, Ling Xiao calmed down abruptly.

His urgency stemmed from thinking time was short, but from Old Black’s words, he has three or four days to prepare.

With that, he might as well thoroughly listen to Old Black about the specifics.

Ling Xiao always remained calm in the face of issues; even when furious, he wouldn’t let anger cloud his judgment.

The angrier he was, the calmer he became.

So, those familiar with Ling Xiao knew if he suddenly fell silent and became extremely calm, it meant he was extremely angry.

This calm was the precursor to a storm.

”Tell me everything you know! Since the Demon Shadow Sect dares to rampage in my territory, I’ll ensure their force in Eight Immortals County City disappears completely.”

Ling Xiao’s voice carried no hint of anger; instead, it was chilling to the extreme.

Indeed, with his current cultivation level, he might not achieve this.

But never forget his fearsome, hidden Martial Soul!

With the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, the scoundrels of the Demon Shadow Sect in Eight Immortals County City wouldn’t be his match.

”It’s said that the Bloodsucking Sacrifice requires a large number of Blood Pigs, that is, martial artists to provide blood.

The stronger the martial artist, the more precious the blood, making them more essential.

Yuhua Town has already been directly seized by the Demon Shadow Sect, but with your Defensive Array, the Ling Family has managed to hold on for now.

The Demon Shadow Sect is capturing Blood Pigs on a large scale within Yuhua Town, causing chaos in the battles, which allowed my escape.

However, I wasn’t coming to find you; I was seeking the County Governor! In times of trouble for Yuhua Town, the County Governor should send troops for assistance, right?”

Old Black didn’t seek out Ling Xiao because he was unaware of Ling Xiao’s current cultivation level.

When Ling Xiao left Yuhua Town, his cultivation was ordinary, merely at the Cave Heaven Realm level, unable to contend with the Demon Shadow Sect.

He sought help from the County Governor instead.

”No need to look for him; the County Governor can’t help you.”

Ling Xiao shook his head and said.

He knew the County Governor of Eight Immortals County City was Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan wasn’t the highest in the Lin Family’s hierarchy.

He wouldn’t risk offending the Tianfeng Group to eliminate the Demon Shadow Sect.

Moreover, Old Black’s message might not be believed. Even if they sent someone to investigate, it would take a long time.

Besides, Ling Xiao truly doubted that the army of Eight Immortals County City could rival the Demon Shadow Sect.

So, he still had to handle this himself.

”Why?”

Old Black asked, somewhat puzzled.

”Don’t ask too much. Is that all you know? Are all the Demon Shadow Sect people in Yuhua Town?”

Ling Xiao inquired.

”Not exactly; in Yuhua Town, there’s only a Hall Master from the Demon Shadow Sect and three protectors.

There are also over a thousand town stewards and tens of thousands of disciples.

Their County City stewards and other Hall Masters and protectors are likely still at the Demon Shadow Sect’s lair, waiting for the rehearsal results.”

Old Black answered.
