Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Ling Xiao was observing too, although he could kill these martial artists, it would be quite strenuous, and there was no need to expose too much of his strength. If something unexpected happened, he would welcome it.

”Why is it that girl!”

The Thirteenth Prince was shocked to see Hong Minger.

How could he not know Hong Minger?

She was the person who was inseparable from his second brother.

Among the fourteen princes of the Great King of Chen Dynasty, two were granted the title of prince.

And both were Nine-Star Princes.

In the absence of a Crown Prince, these two were the most powerful among the fourteen princes.

One of them is the Second Prince, Chen Canglan!

The other is the Fourteenth Prince, Chen Cangxiong!

As for him, Old Thirteenth, he was not even a prince, just a pitiable county prince, with only a county city as his land.

In front of those two, he couldn’t raise his head at all.

If the Old Second really came, he would have to kneel down in welcome.

”Listen up, Nine-Star Princes, the Wise King of Chen Kingdom has decreed that Ling Xiao is a genius of extraordinary talent, precisely the kind of talent needed by Secret Realm Academy.

So anyone who dares harm him will be considered an enemy of Secret Realm Academy and an enemy of the Wise King.

Since you have made an agreement, Ling Xiao’s victory means that he will allocate the three spots of Secret Realm Academy without any mistake!

Additionally, from today onward, Eight Immortals County City will become Ling Xiao’s land, to be inherited for generations, without contention from any sect!”

Hong Minger’s voice was not loud, yet everyone heard it clearly.

The words carried a thunderous implication, causing many to be stunned.

”Ling Xiao turns out to be associated with the Wise King!”

”No wonder he’s not afraid of the Thirteenth Prince, who is insignificant before the Wise King.”

”So, Ling Xiao has become the Lord of Eight Immortals County City now?”

”Yes, yes, those who have offended him are in trouble now.”

Discussion rose once again.

Ling Xiao, however, furrowed his brows.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, he didn’t know any Wise King, the help must come with strings attached.

But he wouldn’t refuse the benefits.

Ultimately, he wasn’t planning to completely sever ties with the royal clan just yet.

”Thank you for appreciating me, Wise King, but I’m afraid our Thirteenth Prince won’t be reconciled with this.”

Ling Xiao said calmly.

”Young Master Ling needn’t worry, my brother this time truly has been unreliable in his duties, angering both Father King and Secret Realm Academy, so he’s been commanded to return to the capital and placed under house arrest!”

From the carriage stepped out a gentleman, though he didn’t exhibit the powerful aura of Hong Minger, no one underestimated him, everyone knew he was immensely formidable.

This was Chen Canglan, the Wise King!

The one nearest to the throne!

”No! Second Brother, I don’t believe you!”

The Thirteenth Prince yelled hysterically.

”Impudent! In my presence, you dare act so arrogantly? Do you think I am unaware of your intentions? If your subordinates don’t stop, should I take action myself?”

Chen Canglan regarded the Thirteenth Prince coldly.

Despite being brothers, they were like enemies.

This contrasted sharply with Ling Xiao and Ling Yan’s relationship.

Ling Xiao and Ling Yan were not blood brothers, yet they would fight desperately for each other.

Perhaps this was the royal clan, the place full of machinations and mutual elimination, causing one to feel melancholic.

”Kill him, kill him!”

The Thirteenth Prince knew even Chen Canglan wouldn’t dare kill him, since he was going to be imprisoned anyway, he didn’t care anymore.

Before leaving, as long as he could manage to kill Ling Xiao, he’d be satisfied.

And his death warriors truly obeyed, charging towards Ling Xiao.

In such a situation, how could Chen Canglan stand idly by?

The words of the Wise King were not empty talk.

”Minger, kill!”

He gently uttered.

Hong Minger unleashed astonishing inner strength and struck out with a palm.

Instantly, all those death warriors loyal to the Thirteenth Prince perished in the raging flames.

Ling Xiao furrowed his brows.

This Hong Minger was truly formidable, perhaps only the Little Demoness could match her.

And Chen Canglan was even stronger, possessing a mysterious aura that Ling Xiao couldn’t discern.

This kind of person was very dangerous.

Cooperating with them was akin to negotiating with a tiger.

But Ling Xiao liked keeping company with tigers, after all, it was uncertain who would be devoured.

Anyway, he was definitely going to the Imperial Capital of Chen Dynasty.

It was his next step to enhance his strength.

Though he wished to join the Nine Venerables, with his current ability, going there would be tantamount to suicide.

Instead, it was better to strengthen himself in the Chen Dynasty’s Imperial Capital first, then venture out when he was stronger.

All the Thirteenth Prince’s death warriors perished.

Yet, An Hun stealthily fled.

For he didn’t want to be imprisoned along with the Thirteenth Prince.

This fellow was indeed cunning.

”Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao!”

Suddenly, the whole Eight Immortals County City resounded with Ling Xiao’s name.

Some people were quick to follow the trend, previously supporting the three great sect leaders but now becoming loyal followers of Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao couldn’t be bothered with these petty people.

They couldn’t stir up any real trouble.

As long as he was strong enough, they would always sway to his side.

Ling Xiao then approached Chen Canglan, the Wise King.

Regardless of anything, the help he received needed gratitude, but some things he had to clarify.

He wouldn’t be subject to anyone; he was himself, preferring to master his own destiny rather than work for others.

”Thank you for your assistance, Wise King. Ling Xiao is deeply grateful!”

Ling Xiao cupped his hands toward Chen Canglan.

He didn’t kneel.

Though he understood the Wise King’s strength surpassed his, he had cards yet to play, even in a real fight, even if defeated, he could ensure his safety.

Therefore, he had no need to fear the Wise King, nor to be excessively humble.

”Why express gratitude?”

The Wise King Chen Canglan quickly grabbed Ling Xiao’s hands, speaking affectionately, ”I’ve heard of your name long ago.

Therefore, I specially requested an edict from Father King and Secret Realm Academy, then came to Eight Immortals County City.

Your performance did not disappoint me at all.

In the future, we can address each other as brothers, no need for royal titles.”

”Hmm?”

Ling Xiao was briefly taken aback, this Wise King seemed a bit overly friendly, just meeting and they were already calling each other brothers?

He replied seriously, ”Your Highness, I am merely a commoner, how dare I call you brother.

If Your Highness regards me highly, treating me as a friend is sufficient.”

”No worries, no worries, it was rather presumptuous of me.”

The Wise King wasn’t angered at all, he laughed heartily, ”Right, friends, from now on we shall be friends.

As long as I have a bite to eat, you won’t go hungry.”

Though Chen Canglan thought himself humble.

To Ling Xiao, Chen Canglan’s behavior seemed somewhat pretentious.

But since he received help, he shouldn’t openly dismiss the gesture, so for now he let it be.
