Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Let me tell you, don’t spread this around.”

Cheng Feiying lowered her voice and said.

”Rest assured, I, Ling Xiao, am someone who keeps secrets. How could I carelessly leak such information?”

Ling Xiao shook his head and replied.

”Actually, I heard it from my grandfather. The Eight Immortals Mountain has been searching for the whereabouts of Ling Yan after his reincarnation into the mortal world.

Later, they found a boy with the same name and surname in Yuhua Town.

Although it’s not completely confirmed, the sect operates on the principle of ’rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one escape’ and secretly captured the boy, imprisoning him on the fifth level of the Ghost Prison, also known as the ’Extremely Evil Prison Cage.’

There, they detain a batch of the most powerful prisoners and terrifying monster beasts. Even the disciples of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain rarely dare to enter.”

Cheng Feiying answered.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but show a trace of dissatisfaction.

This suddenly reminded Cheng Feiying of Ling Xiao’s identity.

She regretted it immensely: ”Damn, I forgot you’re also from the Ling Family of Feather Transformation Town. How could you not know Ling Yan?”

”Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish. With my current strength, rushing into the Extremely Evil Prison Cage is akin to seeking death.”

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile: ”Although I’m impulsive, I’m not stupid. This matter naturally requires long-term planning.”

He wasn’t just trying to comfort Cheng Feiying; he was stating the truth.

With his current strength, he couldn’t even pass through the third or fourth level of the Ghost Prison, let alone talk about rescuing Ling Yan.

However, since Ling Yan is only imprisoned and not killed, it indicates that some people in the Eight Immortals Mountain want to obtain certain secrets from him.

As long as they haven’t obtained what they want, Ling Yan won’t die.

He still has time!

In the Xuanwu Continent, Ling Xiao didn’t have many friends, but Ling Yan definitely counted as one.

No matter what, he couldn’t let his good brother suffer too long on the fifth level of the Ghost Prison.

”For an ant to overturn the heavens, it must first become strong.”

Ling Xiao laughed lightly.

Even though he was worried, he would never show a sad face.

Nor would he let a heavy heart affect his cultivation.

After all, doing so wouldn’t help in rescuing Ling Yan at all, so he might as well concentrate on improving his strength.

”According to the layout of the second level of the Ghost Prison, starting from here, the prisoners and monster beasts we encounter will be very dangerous for us, so everyone needs to be on high alert and protect yourselves!

My strength is not greater than yours, so if we really encounter danger, I might not be able to help you!”

After walking for about ten minutes, Cheng Feiying suddenly stopped, turned around, and addressed the disciples from Orange Immortal Mountain.

Their faces all showed serious and solemn expressions.

This second level of the Ghost Prison was still extremely dangerous for martial artists with Hell Cultivation level. They couldn’t afford to be careless.

”Miss Feiying, if something happens, we won’t have time to protect Ling Xiao, so don’t blame us then.”

Suddenly, a rather handsome boy with a red mole on his forehead spoke up from the group.

Ling Xiao found it amusing.

With this kid’s strength, he thought he could protect him?

”Don’t you understand the importance of unity? If you’re unwilling to help him, in times of danger, he won’t help you either.”

Cheng Feiying was truly exasperated. These people were too arrogant. Despite not being that powerful themselves, they all looked down on others.

”No need!”

Many from the other side shouted out.

Ling Xiao smiled, looked at Cheng Feiying, and said, ”Miss Feiying, you heard them. They don’t need it, so if I don’t step in later, you can’t blame me.”

He wasn’t someone who repaid grievances with virtue.

Since they disliked and loathed him so much, why should he go out of his way? Protecting Cheng Feiying would be enough later on.

”I would never blame you. Just make sure to protect yourself later; it’s dangerous for all of us here. Don’t worry, I won’t let you face danger alone. Just stay by my side.”

Cheng Feiying didn’t consider herself stronger than Ling Xiao; she just believed that among these people, she would be the only one to help him.

Thus, staying with her would naturally be the safest.

”By the way, I haven’t asked you all what mission you’re on yet?”

Ling Xiao wasn’t interested in how others looked at him. The only reason he was still with them was because of Cheng Feiying.

This girl was loyal and kind; he couldn’t be indifferent in return.

Moreover, following Cheng Feiying this time had led him to information about Ling Yan, which was quite a gain.

”Miss Feiying, don’t tell that guy. He’s definitely aiming to take over our mission.”

”Exactly, Miss Feiying, don’t be fooled by his looks. He’s just a bit good-looking, that’s all.”

”Shut up, I’ll talk to whoever I want; you have no right to interfere!”

Cheng Feiying had been patiently explaining to them before, but at this point, she was too lazy to explain further and simply shouted back.

These people were simply too annoying, just despicable.

”Ling Xiao, don’t mind them. They’ve been watching the world from the bottom of a well for too long and don’t know how fast the world outside is developing.

And you might not know this, but the last time with the Demon Shadow Sect, the sect’s propaganda was a bit off too.”

Cheng Feiying sighed and said, ”The sect said that they had been targeting the Demon Shadow Sect for a long time and had already sent Chen Fengxiao and Sha Diao and were just one step away from completing the task.

But then, eager for merit, you not only startled the snake, but also ruined the sect’s plan and got many people killed by the Blood-sucking Array.”

”Shameless!”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao felt that the Eight Immortals Mountain was utterly shameless to the extreme.

”There’s no choice; the current Sect Leader is just a puppet of the Eight Great Families, unlike the former Ling Yan.”

Cheng Feiying sighed.

”No wonder when I returned to the sect today, everyone looked at me with such disdain. So that’s what happened.”

Ling Xiao was truly disappointed with this Eight Immortals Mountain.

He knew why they did this; they wanted to force him to leave and make it easier to deal with him.

But he wouldn’t leave.

This was the sect where Ling Yan once stayed and even raised it to a high degree of prominence.

Even if he were to leave, he would have to return the sect to Ling Yan first.

”It is indeed shameless, but enough of those unhappy matters. You asked about our mission; actually, it’s quite simple. This time, we have come to the second level of the Ghost Prison to kill an Iron-Backed Thorny Beast. That creature possesses a cultivation level of a one-star, second level of early-stage hell cultivation.

The key point is its terrifying defense.

Even martial artists with the same cultivation level find it helpless.

I want to craft a weapon, and I need the shell of this Iron-Backed Thorny Beast.”

Cheng Feiying switched the topic and said, ”Under normal circumstances, our team should manage to kill it, but there’s always the fear of incidents because this is the Ghost Prison.

There are some secrets in the Ghost Prison that even the Eight Great Families of the Eight Immortals Mountain have not entirely figured out.”
