Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

The wandering martial artist did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, yet with a cultivation level at the first level of Reincarnation Realm, she was still considered invincible in the Eight Immortals County City.

Her name was Ji Mingkong.

She was a martial artist from the Heavenly Dragon Continent, and once Ling Xiao’s greatest enemy and most loyal partner.

Ji Mingkong was the Holy Son of the Human Sacred Dynasty, but after the Sacred Dynasty fell, she was defeated by Ling Xiao.

Later, by a twist of fate, she became life-death companions with Ling Xiao and is now also a valiant general of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

However, even to this day, the gap between her and Ling Xiao is only getting larger.

She had just advanced to the first level of Reincarnation Realm, while Ling Xiao was already a martial artist with a late-stage cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Hell in the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm.

It is believed that this gap will only continue to widen in the future.

Ling Xiao had the Heavenly Dynasty Empire send people over, to stabilize control over the Eight Immortals County City and establish a special unit to eradicate the infiltrators and traitors within the city while guarding it.

Ji Mingkong brought over a hundred people, and to avoid attracting attention, they dispersed and came from the distant Yuhua Town.

”From now on, this Eight Immortals County City will rely on you. Staying here will also greatly aid your cultivation. I hope you can soon enter the cycle of reincarnation. Only by entering can your cultivation continue to advance; otherwise, you’ll remain stuck at the first level of Reincarnation Realm for life.”

Ling Xiao advised Ji Mingkong, ”The things we’ve heard about the Reincarnation Realm before were completely wrong.”

If Ji Mingkong enters the cycle of reincarnation, Ling Xiao would not worry about having no successors. Although the current overall cultivation level of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire hasn’t yet reached the average level of the Xuanwu Continent, controlling a small place like the Eight Immortals County City is still not a problem.

”I understand. You must also be careful. From today, you’ll truly be stepping into the power struggles of the Xuanwu Continent. Although no one knows your ambitions yet, they will eventually.”

Ji Mingkong reminded him.

”I know, of course. Since I chose this path, I have no reason to fear.”

Ling Xiao smiled and said, ”Starting tomorrow, construction on the Lord’s Mansion in Eight Immortals County City will begin, built according to my blueprints. You can stay at the Tianlong Trade Company for now; I’ve arranged everything.

If there’s a shortage of manpower, you can recruit from Yuhua Town; the people there have become my loyal followers.”

”Okay!”

Originally, Ling Xiao planned to catch up with Ji Mingkong.

Suddenly, someone reported an urgent matter from outside the door, and Ling Xiao had to let Ji Mingkong leave for now.

The person who came in was Lin Yang.

”Boss, something bad happened. Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang were captured, along with Kong Yue, Zhen Hai, She Yan Ran, and Niao Shan Ming.”

Lin Yang came in looking very anxious.

”All those who participated in the Bull God Labyrinth; do you know who did it?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”It’s not clear yet, but Senior Sister Ruoxian left a clue that might lead us to those who captured them.”

Lin Yang answered.

”I understand. You go busy yourself; you probably can’t handle what’s coming next. I’ll go sort it out.”

Upon learning that those people were captured, Ling Xiao already had a suspect in mind.

The most likely suspect was Wise and Virtuous King Edward Chen Endless.

He might be searching for something within the Bull God Labyrinth, and that’s why he would do such a thing.

Originally, the Thirteenth Prince was the biggest suspect, but the Thirteenth Prince has already been imprisoned, so it’s impossible for him.

So it had to be Chen Canglan.

However, a conjecture is just that. No matter how certain you are, it’s still just a conjecture.

To avoid wrongly accusing an innocent, he planned to rescue them personally.

Since Lin Ruoxian had left clues, that made it easier.

Coming out of the Eight Immortals Mountain, Ling Xiao headed straight to the place where Lin Ruoxian and the others were captured.

His greatest reversed scale was someone hurting his family and friends.

For such enemies, he never showed mercy; they were always killed directly.

This time, it would be no exception.

No matter how significant the opponent’s background or intentions, if anything happened to Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang, he would make them pay with their lives!

Ling Xiao exerted his full speed, and in a little over ten minutes, he arrived at an abandoned mine outside the Eight Immortals County City.

Inside this mine, a group of people was tied up.

Not only were there disciples from the Eight Immortals Mountain, but also from the Tianfeng Group and the Yue State Palace.

Of course, these people were now all martial artists belonging to the Lingxiao City Defense Team.

Upon reaching near the mine, Ling Xiao slowed down and then snuck inside in the form of a Ghost Wolf.

He overheard the conversation inside the cave.

As expected, they captured those people to know the whereabouts of the Devouring Demon Fetus and the Nine Nether Huangquan Golden Crow Soul Fragments.

Unfortunately, even Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang didn’t know the whereabouts of those two items.

Asking was in vain.

But there were still loose-lipped people.

The one was Chen Bao of the Tianfeng Group: ”Don’t kill me, I know, that Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang have always been with Ling Xiao, they definitely know if those two items were taken by Ling Xiao.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately felt a surge of murderous intent.

He had benevolently spared Chen Bao’s life once.

But not only did this guy not show gratitude, he betrayed Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang. If he didn’t kill this scoundrel, Ling Xiao would have truly wasted his immense power.

He did not rush in because he wanted to see who else would betray Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang at this moment.

Eventually, he proved right in waiting.

Among the Tianfeng Group, eight people joined Chen Bao in his false accusations.

In contrast, Chen Beixuan remained silently lying there, as if nothing concerned him.

Among the Yue State Palace, four people falsely accused.

However, Dawn Wind Moon and Dawn Wind Sun did not lead the accusations.

The power Ling Xiao displayed that day utterly intimidated them, making the siblings understand one thing.

Ling Xiao was not to be provoked.

Moreover, would reckless accusations really save their lives?

They were not that foolish.

After waiting a bit longer and with no more than five people accusing Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang, Ling Xiao knew it was time for him to act.

The opponent was strong, already at the level of strength like Chen Changsheng.

But Ling Xiao was stronger!

After his battle with Demon Dragon Liam, not only did his cultivation level break through, but his martial skills also greatly improved.

Killing such people didn’t require much effort.

Under the glow of the phosphorescent stones, several human heads suddenly rolled to the ground.

Everyone stared blankly at the heads rolling on the ground like watermelons, not immediately understanding what had happened.

Only Chen Bao screamed in terror.

Ling Xiao did not kill him in his first attack on purpose, just to let him taste fear before killing him.

The expert also reacted, suddenly lunging at Lin Ruoxian, attempting to take her and Yue Shang hostage, hoping to restrain Ling Xiao.

Unfortunately for him, no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t be faster than Ling Xiao.

With just one move.

Ling Xiao used the move he had used to slay Demon Dragon Liam—

”Dark Shadow Martial Arts—Ghost Dragon Killer!”

The Ghost Dragon roared, and lives were claimed!
