Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Yeah, yeah, Jian Mofeng’s expression just now was really strange, and he clearly asked, asked who killed that Earth Demon. After Ling Xiao answered, he even wanted to kill Ling Xiao. That really was furious enough.”

In the crowd, a voice suddenly rang out, as if having just had a sudden realization.

This voice had no small impact, making many people fix their eyes on Jian Mofeng.

Jian Mofeng’s already not-so-calm face now became extremely panicked.

”Jian Mofeng, you’d better make yourself clear today, otherwise your Sword Clan can forget about continuing to mix on Eight Immortals Mountain.”

The Zhen Clan expert looked coldly at Jian Mofeng and said.

The other Three Great Families’ experts also stood up one after another, casting icy gazes at Jian Mofeng.

To offend the Four Great Clans at the same time, even if the Sword Clan was stronger, they couldn’t withstand that.

This made Jian Mofeng even more flustered.

Seeing Jian Mofeng like this, the Sword Clan’s Clan Leader, Jian Kun, knew that relying on him to explain was impossible.

So he stepped out, looked indifferently at the crowd and said, ”Who this Ling You is, who the Earth Demon Assassins are, our Sword Clan knows nothing at all.

Today is my son Jian Liufeng’s wedding day. Tell me, how could I possibly allow blood to be spilled here?

This is clearly someone harboring malicious intent, trying to destroy the unity of my Eight Immortals Mountain!

As for my son Mofeng being shocked and terrified, that’s normal.

Someone killed a man at his younger brother’s wedding, of course he’d be angry—what’s so strange about that?”

This old fox Jian Kun, his words were simply watertight. Something where he clearly had no justification, once it came out of his mouth, somehow turned into him having justification.

”Well said!”

Ling Xiao suddenly stood up and clapped. ”The Sword Clan truly is one mountain higher than another, and one face thicker than another.”

”Insolent!”

Jian Kun stared fixedly at Ling Xiao, truly wishing he could kill Ling Xiao on the spot, but he couldn’t move.

Because if he killed Ling Xiao, that would be equivalent to admitting that Ling You was sent by their Sword Clan.

After all, that would be eagerness to kill and silence the witness.

”Brat, listen up, and everyone else, judge for yourselves!

The Earth Demon Assassins come and go like ghosts—how could a junior like Ling Xiao possibly stop them or discover them?

Think about it: a true Earth Demon Assassin can even slay Martial Artists with Fifth Layer of Hell cultivation.

Do you really believe a small First-Turn Third-Level Hell Cultivation Martial Artist like him could discover some Ling You?

I think this is nothing but a trap set up by this brat. He just doesn’t want to see two people who are in love come together, utterly shameless!”

This ability to turn black into white was truly stunning.

So much so that many Martial Artists in the audience, who had originally been very angry, began shifting their fury toward Ling Xiao.

”Boss, that old fox’s mouth really is formidable. You’ve met your match today!”

Lin Yang couldn’t help but grow anxious. ”What do we do? That old fox has splashed the dirty water onto us.”

”No rush.”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, looked at Jian Kun and said, ”For a dignified Sword Clan Clan Leader, your skill with words really is transcendent.

This junior has learned a lot today.

From what you’re saying, if Ling You killed me today, that would just be my bad luck.

If I happened to discover him, then it becomes me deliberately setting him up.

Heh, interesting. No matter the outcome, your Sword Clan seems able to stay out of it, huh?”

”You could say that, because you absolutely don’t have the ability to detect Ling You’s assassination. The fact that you’re alive proves that this Ling You has something to do with you, that he’s very likely your subordinate in the first place.”

Jian Kun looked at Ling Xiao, wearing a righteous expression, but was clearly spouting slander.

”Hahaha, interesting, truly interesting. I supposedly brought a Ling You that even your Sword Clan experts can’t detect, yet I don’t have him kill you, the Clan Leader who spouts nonsense, nor do I have him kill Jian Liufeng, who is forcing my sister into marriage.

Instead I have him put on this boring little show. Am I an idiot?”

Ling Xiao laughed.

”Hmph, no matter how eloquent you are, everything has to be backed by evidence.

I have no evidence that this Ling You is yours. What I said just now was only conjecture. Even if I did say it, it would at worst be a wrong guess.

And you have no evidence that this Ling You belongs to my Sword Clan either, so your words are nothing but framing and slander.”

Jian Kun snorted coldly and spoke calmly.

His words made those experts who had originally planned to seek revenge start to waver.

After all, with no evidence, to claim that the Sword Clan raised that Earth Demon Assassin Ling You to assassinate their clans’ experts really made no sense.

Even if they brought it before the Sect Leader, the Four Great Clans would have no grounds to argue.

A few people sighed and sat back down, all somewhat depressed.

They had thought the mystery of the experts killed in their clans in days past had finally been solved, but who knew that in the end it would still be nothing.

Yet the next words from Ling Xiao rekindled their flames of vengeance.

”Clan Leader Jian Kun, just because you have no evidence doesn’t mean I don’t.”

He looked at Jian Kun with disdain. ”Although your tongue is like Lianhua, glib and slick, this matter happened too suddenly—you couldn’t possibly have erased all the evidence.”

Ling Xiao let out a cold laugh, then turned to the experts of the Zhen Clan, Yue Clan, Bird Clan, and Kong Clan. ”The four of you might as well search Ling You’s corpse. I think you’ll find something quite surprising.”

Hearing this, Jian Kun and Jian Ruchao’s expressions changed slightly, while Jian Mofeng was already trembling all over.

”Pardon the offense!”

The four great experts leapt onto the wedding platform.

Jian Kun did not stop them.

Because if he blocked them, it would be seen as a guilty conscience, making the Four Great Clans firmly believe it was the Sword Clan’s doing.

At that point, evidence wouldn’t matter. For the sake of face alone, the Four Great Clans would never let the Sword Clan off.

The four men searched Ling You’s body and found a Waist Token at his waist.

This Waist Token was very exquisite. Visually, there was no Sword Clan emblem on it.

After all, Assassins did things that couldn’t see the light of day. Having the Sword Clan’s mark on it would be very troublesome.

But to allow Ling You to move freely within the Sword Clan, this Waist Token naturally had some special design.

On a normal day, if Ling You realized his life was in danger, he would have destroyed this Waist Token first to cut off the trail.

However, today Ling Xiao struck too fast; he simply had no chance.

The four great experts quickly discovered the special feature of the Waist Token.

”Jian Kun, what else do you have to say? Inside this Waist Token is a wisp of your son Jian Mofeng’s mental power. With it, Ling You could move unhindered within the Sword Clan. Do you still dare claim this Ling You wasn’t raised by your Sword Clan?”

The Zhen Clan expert questioned him.

”This is framing!”

At this point, even with his glib tongue, Jian Kun couldn’t refute solid iron evidence.

He could only roar loudly.

Because even he hadn’t expected that Ling Xiao would actually manage to kill Ling You before Ling You could destroy the Waist Token.

This Ling Xiao—what level of strength did he have, exactly? He was becoming more and more unfathomable.

”Pfft!”

Suddenly, Jian Liufeng’s Sword Light pierced straight through Jian Mofeng’s throat.
