Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Your Highness, if you have any orders, just say it.”

The Dare-to-die Army looked at Wise King Edward Chen Endless in trembling fear.

Even though they clearly knew they had just escaped the wolf’s den only to fall into the tiger’s lair, they had no way out.

Facing the powerful Wise King, they were utterly helpless.

Before this, they still had Ling Yan to ignite their fighting spirit, but now, Ling Yan had been captured as well.

What could they do?

They could only bow their heads and obey.

”Very good!”

Chen Canglan nodded in satisfaction and said, ”You will stay here outside Eight Immortals County City.

When Ling Xiao returns later, if he tries to force his way in, then stop him for this king.

Otherwise, you’ve already seen this king’s methods.”

What!

Even though they had thought of many possibilities, the Dare-to-die Army still hadn’t expected that His Highness Wise King would actually move against Ling Xiao, against the new Lord of Eight Immortals County City.

Why had it come to this?

Could it be that Ling Xiao had already grown so strong that even this Wise King had to fear him?

”Your Highness, this old man has a question he does not understand, did the Lord do something wrong?”

Among the Dare-to-die Army, there was an old man who had once personally witnessed Ling Xiao dealing with the Demon Shadow Sect’s lackeys.

His granddaughter had been captured by the Demon Shadow Sect and was rescued during that incident.

So now, to make him raise a hand against Ling Xiao, he truly could not bear it.

”Ling Xiao offended this king, is that not enough?”

A ruthless glint flashed in the corner of Chen Canglan’s eye; suddenly, he pointed out with his right index finger.

A jet-black, eerie thunderbolt tore through the air and directly pierced the old man’s forehead.

”All of you listen up. Whoever dares to spout more nonsense will end up just like this old geezer.

This king is not asking you, this king is ordering you!”

Chen Canglan’s overbearing cruelty was in no way inferior to Chen Cangxiong’s; it was just that this fellow was more devious and usually didn’t need to act personally.

If it hadn’t been for Yue Fanɡ Hua throwing him off balance this time, he probably wouldn’t have made such a rash move either.

First he crippled the Eighth Prince, and then he killed someone here.

Seeing that old man killed, the Dare-to-die Army were filled with anger but did not dare speak.

The Wise and Virtuous King was simply too strong, far from someone they could provoke.

”Alright, there’s no need to be too afraid. As long as you behave, after this is done, this king will reward you handsomely.

If you dare go against this king’s will, then don’t blame this king for being ruthless!”

Chen Canglan cast a cold glance at these ant-like people, then turned, stepping across the void back to the city wall.

These nearly nine hundred thousand Dare-to-die soldiers were also hostages, and the foremost hostages at that.

If Ling Xiao wanted to storm into Eight Immortals County City, he would first have to kill all of them.

He wanted to see whether Ling Xiao would really do it.

”What should we do, are we really going to become enemies of the Lord? He’s the great hero who once saved Eight Immortals County City.”

”What else can we do? You all saw His Highness Wise King’s methods just now, he kills without even blinking.”

”That’s true, we’re caught in a dilemma.”

”Sigh, this is the fate of those at the bottom. To move against the Lord is death, not to move against him is still death, how hateful.”

”I think Ling Yan was right. Since we’re dead either way, we might as well fight that Wise and Virtuous King to the end!”

”Fight? Easy for you to say. Can Ling Xiao really compare with the Wise King? We’d better just obey, that’s our fate.”

Within the Dare-to-die Army, people were all talking at once, their opinions clearly divided.

Some admired Ling Xiao and were unwilling to move against him;

some feared the Wise King and felt they had no choice but to act;

some were steeped in grief and despair, knowing that no matter what they chose, they would not escape death in the end.

To these pitiful people, the Mysterious World was far too cruel, once again clearly showing them what ”survival of the fittest” and ”might makes right” truly meant!

Suddenly, a terrifying aura came from the distance.

Five figures appeared on the avenue leading to Eight Immortals County City.

They’re here!

The Dare-to-die Army knew Ling Xiao had returned.

Wise King Edward Chen Endless also knew Ling Xiao had returned.

”Your Highness, Minger has come back.”

Just before Ling Xiao arrived at Eight Immortals County City, Hong Minger reached it as well.

At this moment, Hong Minger was dressed in a red outfit; anyone with eyes could see it was a Magical Treasure, and a Divine Spiritual Tool at that.

Behind her trailed a crimson tail, exposed in the air, a full four or five meters long.

”Minger, you!”

Chen Canglan stared in surprise at the woman before him; compared to before, Hong Minger’s strength had clearly risen greatly.

”Your Highness, in the Green Hill there is the Parker Mountain Clan; Minger’s original name is Tushan Min Er, and she comes from beyond the Xuanwu Continent.

My true form is a Nine-tailed Red Fox; I once shared a bond of the previous life with Your Highness, and in this life I came specifically to continue that bond.

It’s just a pity that Your Highness has never had any man–woman thoughts about Minger.”

Hong Minger calmly spoke of her identity; in her voice, there was a faint trace of sorrow.

”In the Parker Mountain of Green Hill, there is a beast, shaped like a fox with Nine-Tailed, its cry like an infant’s; it can eat people, yet those eaten are not poisoned.

You are that man-eating Fox Demon, aren’t you?”

Disgust surfaced on Chen Canglan’s face as he looked coldly at Tushan Min Er and said, ”Do you think that I, as a Prince of Chen Kingdom, would consort with a Fox Demon like you?

A bond of the previous life? Don’t make me laugh. A previous life is just a previous life; I don’t remember it anymore.”

Clearly, the ”previous life” Tushan Min Er spoke of was not a mundane Reincarnation, but a rebirth, so the memories no longer existed.

Tushan Min Er felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The reason she had revealed her true form and told the truth was because she planned to help Chen Canglan fight Yue Fanɡ Hua to the death.

Because she knew very well that Yue Fanɡ Hua was Chen Canglan’s great enemy; only by stopping Yue Fanɡ Hua could Chen Canglan carry out all his plans.

Of course, she had another thought: she wanted to prove she was stronger than Yue Fanɡ Hua.

If that happened, perhaps Chen Canglan would not be able to forget her.

Yet unfortunately, Chen Canglan treated her with utter coldness.

”Minger, although I detest Fox Demons, you’ve been at my side for a long time. If you don’t bring up that so-called bond of the previous life, we can still fight side by side.”

A crafty gleam slid across the corner of Chen Canglan’s eyes.

Perhaps because he sensed Tushan Min Er’s power, he started forming other plans in his heart.

Such a powerful Fox Demon by his side would certainly be beneficial.

If he truly could not get Yue Fanɡ Hua, then this Tushan Min Er could be considered a decent substitute.

”Really, Your Highness?”

Tushan Min Er gazed obsessively at her lover from the previous life.

Although Chen Canglan had lost those past-life memories, she still remembered their old feelings and absolutely refused to believe he would be so heartless toward her.

”Of course. Look over there, Ling Xiao and the others have arrived. In a moment, just follow this king’s arrangements.”

Chen Canglan was very satisfied with Tushan Min Er’s attitude.

He sneered inwardly; although he could never fall for a Fox Demon, using her as a sharp Weapon was quite good.

”Chen Canglan, what the hell are you up to?”

Ling Xiao’s voice rang out from the distance, loud beyond measure, so that the entire Eight Immortals County City heard it clearly.

At the same time.

Somewhere in the dark underground—

”Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has returned, it’s time for us to move.”
