Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Where?”

Chen Cangmang asked, ”Where can those people be sent to be safer?”

”Eight Immortals County City!”

Ling Xiao said lightly.

”No way, that place originally belonged to Old Thirteenth. I heard it was seized by Second Brother, who then supported a young prodigy to become the lord there. Going there is just walking into death!”

Chen Cangmang shook his head.

Ling Xiao removed the ferocious mask from his face and looked at Chen Cangmang calmly, ”I am that lord, Ling Xiao!”

He decided to gamble.

Chen Cangmang would not betray him.

All signs indicated that Chen Cangmang was a person who valued loyalty and friendship, someone who wouldn’t easily sell out friends.

Or friends’ benefactors.

Ling Xiao had saved Ling Family Village, how could he repay kindness with betrayal?

Of course, at this moment, Ling Xiao was not entirely certain, which is why he said he was gambling.

Chen Cangmang was surprised, yet somewhat shaken.

Such a young lord, such formidable courage, truly rare.

”Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you? Or hand you over to Second Brother?”

Chen Cangmang asked.

”Of course not.”

Ling Xiao shook his head, ”Firstly, you wouldn’t do such a thing!

Secondly, even if you tried, you wouldn’t succeed. I don’t have many virtues, but I am very confident.”

”I certainly wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Chen Cangmang shook his head, ”But what I don’t understand is, why would you, being one of Second Brother’s men, want to help these people?”

”Who told you that I am one of Chen Canglan’s men?”

”That’s what they are saying out there!”

”Just because the outside world says something, does it make it a fact?”

Ling Xiao looked at Chen Cangmang, a mild smile appeared on his face, ”If I truly had to choose a prince to support, it definitely wouldn’t be Wise and Virtuous King Edward Chen Endless; it would be you, Warhawk General God Chen Cangmang!”

”Me? I’m just a mere county king, utterly powerless in the court, I can only see my own mother once a month.

You’re supporting me? I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

Moreover, I really have no intention of engaging in court struggles or power struggles.”

Chen Cangmang shook his head.

”Then are you willing to let the grievances of the Ling family stay forever unresolved?

Aren’t you afraid that once Chen Canglan or Chen Cangxiong ascends, you and your mother might be killed?

Don’t say it’s impossible, though your personality is sincere, you’re no fool, you must understand this.”

Ling Xiao looked at Chen Cangmang calmly, ”Whether you fight for the throne or not, what does it matter to me.”

He shrugged his shoulders and spoke unconcernedly.

”You have merely an Eighth-Level Hell in Late Stage of First Yin-Yang Realm cultivation level; there are numerous with such levels in the Imperial Capital.

What gives you the basis to help me seize the throne?”

Chen Cangmang asked.

”Because soon, I will become the strongest in the Imperial Capital!”

Ling Xiao laughed.

”The strongest in the capital? Are you dreaming?”

Chen Cangmang thought the young man before him had gone mad.

If within a year you can elevate your cultivation to First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Level Hell, then I’ll believe you, you don’t even need to become the strongest!”

At that time, whatever you ask me, I’ll do, even if you take me as a puppet.

I only want the Ling family’s grievances resolved, and for my mother and I to be safe and sound.”

Chen Cangmang said.

”One year? Fine, it’s decided.”

Ling Xiao nodded.

”Since that is the case, let’s start handling migration now. I will personally escort these people to Eight Immortals County City.”

Chen Cangmang changed the topic.

Ling Xiao nodded, ”Who knows when the enemy might return, for now I will stay and help; although your Warhawk Army is powerful, they’re too conspicuous. When escorting the migration, it’s best not to have them go along.

Just bring a few elites along for the escort.

As long as we’re not discovered, the journey will be absolutely safe.

Meanwhile, I’ll be here to buy you time.”

”Let the Warhawk Army stay with you.”

Chen Cangmang completely agreed with Ling Xiao’s view.

The two of them wasted no more time, each prepared for the migration.

The people of Ling Family Village already didn’t want to stay in the depths of the mountains for life.

Especially having witnessed Ling Xiao killing the Secret Realm Academy’s disciples, those young ones yearned to grow stronger.

Even if not for revenge, they wished to protect themselves and their loved ones.

”Boom!”

Suddenly, a terrifying rumbling came from nearby, causing the earth to tremble.

The sound shocked both Ling Xiao and the Warhawk Army.

Strangely, the local villagers didn’t react.

The villagers said it was the volcano making noise.

About a mile away, it often made such sounds and even spewed lava.

But it never got too serious.

So, they had become used to it.

”Could it be the monster beasts causing trouble?”

Ling Xiao looked afar, as if sensing demonic aura spreading.

”Seventh Highness, you go ahead, I’ll check out the volcano area.”

Having left Eight Immortals County City, Ling Xiao was satisfied with many things but was particularly troubled by not advancing the Lava Battle Body to top-level.

If there were treasures or monster beasts in that volcano, perhaps there could be a breakthrough.

He didn’t want to miss the chance.

”Alright.”

Chen Cangmang nodded, ”Be careful, the monster beasts here are not easily dealt with.”

Anyway, dawn was just breaking, and there was no danger; an attack targeting Ling Family Village couldn’t come so quickly after just defeating one wave.

So it didn’t matter if Ling Xiao left for a while.

Ling Xiao headed toward the volcano, and Yue Fanghua surprisingly followed him.

”It’s dangerous there.”

Ling Xiao frowned.

”Precisely because it’s dangerous, I’m coming along. You’re a decent person; it’d be a shame if you died.”

Yue Fanghua said casually.

”Alright, suit yourself.”

The feeling of being cared for was nice, especially when the one showing concern is someone you love deeply.

Ling Xiao wasn’t sure of Yue Fanghua’s current strength but assumed it wouldn’t be weak.

After all, being thrown into the Western Region Mountain Range amongst monster beasts and only being injured, not killed.

Without some strength, it would hardly be realistic.

The two reached the peak of the volcano.

They saw lava bubbling and flowing within the volcano.

A strange aura seeped from the volcano.

It was unclear whether it belonged to monster beasts or some kind of treasure.

”Fanghua, wait outside, I’ll go down and take a look.”

Ling Xiao had a Lava Battle Body, and it was the Advanced Magma Combat Body, so he believed the lava wouldn’t harm him; exploring should be fine.

”Don’t die!”

Yue Fanghua said coolly.

Though her words were somewhat cold, they clearly conveyed concern.

It was surprising that after entering this cycle, Moon Lady Sister was still a bit tsundere.

”Don’t worry, I won’t die.”

Ling Xiao smiled and dove headfirst into the scorching lava.

He didn’t say, ”If I die, who will guard you for a lifetime?”

The lava’s temperature was high, and even with the Advanced Magma Combat Body, Ling Xiao still felt some heat on his body.

However, fortunately, it was merely heat without injury.

Instead, the energy within the lava was continuously absorbed by his Battle Body, strengthening it.
