Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Strictly speaking, Yue Fanghua is much stronger than Ling Xiao. If anyone needs to worry, it should be him worrying about himself.

”Same goes for you. Right now the people of the Chen Royal Family hate you to the bone. The moment you step outside, they’ll definitely hound and block you from all sides. You must be extremely careful!”

Yue Fanghua was also reluctant to leave.

But she understood clearly: if she didn’t go back, she couldn’t keep getting stronger, and if she couldn’t keep getting stronger, she’d never be able to protect Ling Xiao better.

Watching Yue Fanghua leave Eight Immortals County City, Ling Xiao set out with Xiao Jin as well.

The massive Golden Crow soared into the sky, accelerating through the void, like a phantom streaking across.

To ordinary people, it was nothing more than a mass of blazing fire rampaging through the heavens.

Only truly powerful Martial Artists could see clearly that it was a terrifying Golden Crow, wielding the horrifying sunfire that could burn everything to Destruction.

”Boss, where are we going?”

Xiao Jin asked.

”Obviously we’re going to Thunder City! Do the Eight Great Families really think I, Ling Xiao, am some turtle hiding in its shell?

They attacked my Eight Immortals County City, failed to take it, then pulled back their Flags and called it quits—do they really think that’s the end of it?

Ridiculous!”

Ling Xiao let out a cold laugh. This time he’d come back precisely to stir up trouble. Even though he was unlikely to be a match for the Thunder Emperor, Thunder Venerate, and the Fourteenth Prince, he, Ling Xiao, feared no one else.

If you dare provoke me, I’ll dare deal with you!

Besides, although Thunder City also had Array Formations protecting it, they were absolutely nowhere near as powerful as his Ten Absolute Formations in Eight Immortals County City.

What’s more, probably no one would ever imagine that he, Ling Xiao, would march straight into Thunder City to take revenge.

His plan was very clear.

Step one: go to the Wisdom and Virtuous King Mansion first and get his hands on the Nine Nether Huangquan Golden Crow Soul Fragments sealed beneath it.

That way, Xiao Jin’s strength could continue to improve.

Next, it would be time to wipe out the Boye Family.

The Boye Family was already irreconcilable with him, like Fire and Water, and they had repeatedly invaded his Eight Immortals County City. If he didn’t eradicate that clan, it would always be a hidden threat.

Of course, Ling Xiao had no idea that to deal with him, Purple Thunder General had already mobilized the Demon Shadow Sect’s power.

Right now the ten Demon Envoys of the Chen Dynasty’s Demon Shadow Sect were all inside Thunder City’s territory, waiting for an opportunity to take him down.

Perhaps his plan really would need a few adjustments next.

On his way to Thunder City, Ling Xiao was weighing the battles he might face.

His current Cultivation Level was First transformation Yin-Yang Realm - Tenth Layer Hell, Late Stage!

Against Martial Cultivators at the Tenth Hell Peak Level, he could basically crush them.

Even confronting Martial Cultivators in the Yin-Yang Realm Eleventh Layer of Hell, Early Stage, he could still defeat them.

The problem started from the Eleventh Layer Intermediate Stage and beyond.

He figured he couldn’t beat them yet.

Xiao Jin’s strength was roughly on par with his.

But he wasn’t worried. Ever since Ling Yan had fused with his External Incarnation and transformed into the Golden Crow, not only had his strength soared, his speed had skyrocketed even more.

Even Ling Xiao himself probably wasn’t faster than Xiao Jin now.

If they wanted to run, he believed there wasn’t a single person in the Chen Dynasty who could stop them.

Moreover, over this past month, Ling Xiao had already cultivated the Shadow Sword Demon move to the Perfect Realm.

Its power had greatly increased. Even if he really did encounter a Martial Cultivator in the Yin-Yang Realm Eleventh Layer Hell, Intermediate Stage, he wouldn’t be completely helpless.

In addition, he’d also cultivated the Soul Thunder Light Shield to Perfection. As long as it wasn’t an Immortal Rank Second Layer Heaven Martial Skill, it would be pretty hard to injure him.

And then there was Celestial Thunder Divine Guard. No one would have thought that with his current Cultivation Level he could cultivate this Immortal Rank Second Layer Heaven Martial Skill to the Perfect Realm.

He could command eight Celestial Thunder Divine Guards, each possessing eighty percent of his combat power.

That was downright terrifying.

Eighty percent of his combat power was equivalent to a Martial Cultivator at First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm - Tenth Layer Hell Peak Level.

And that was without any Magical Treasures boosting him.

On top of that, the cooldown time for summoning Celestial Thunder Divine Guards had been shortened from one day to one hour.

This massively increased the practical value of Celestial Thunder Divine Guard.

If that wasn’t enough, he still had the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, Butterfly Girl, and Yuan Venerate.

Those were his trump cards.

So he wasn’t some reckless fool. Without life-preserving Ultimate Skills, he absolutely wouldn’t stupidly run out just to die.

When they were still more than a thousand meters from Thunder City, Ling Xiao ordered Xiao Jin to land.

Xiao Jin shrank down into a palm-sized golden bird and perched on his shoulder.

Ling Xiao then used the transformation ability of the Yin-Yang Demon King to alter his entire body from head to toe.

Under these conditions, even acquaintances probably wouldn’t recognize him.

Entering Thunder City required strict inspection, but with those gate guards, what could they possibly detect?

Ling Xiao passed the inspection smoothly and entered Thunder City.

”Boss, before we go to the Wisdom and Virtuous King Mansion, how about we scout for information first?

If the Wisdom and Virtuous King Mansion is a trap, we’ll be in serious trouble.”

Xiao Jin reminded him.

”You’ve got a point. But who would actually know the situation inside the Wisdom and Virtuous King Mansion?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Boss, you didn’t stay long in Thunder City, so you don’t know. In reality, Thunder City isn’t just the capital of the Chen Dynasty, it’s also an international trading hub.

Merchants and Martial Artists from other countries all linger here, even doing business.

Inside Thunder City, there’s a place called ’Volcano Tower’, supposedly founded by people from the Volcano Kingdom.

This Volcano Tower not only buys and sells priceless rare items, it also sells any kind of information.

Including intel about the various nations in the Western Area of Black Tortoise Continent.

They’ve even compiled a ’Volcano Martial Artist Ranking’ for the Martial Artists of the Chen Dynasty!

They’re extremely familiar with the people listed on the rankings.

There’s also another list, the ’Volcano Evil List’. That ranking isn’t based on strength, but on the degree of evil deeds. Why don’t we go take a look, and investigate some information while we’re at it?”

Xiao Jin had lived in Thunder City for a much longer time, so he really did know more about these matters than Ling Xiao.

This Volcano Tower, clearly founded by people of the Volcano Kingdom, could remain safe and sound in the Chen Dynasty.

It seemed their background wasn’t simple, and there was likely some entanglement between Volcano Tower and the Chen Royal Family.

Since that was the case, he all the more had to take a look. If it really was connected to the Royal Family, Ling Xiao wouldn’t mind tearing the place down.

He’d come to cause trouble, so naturally he had to blow things up properly. Otherwise how could he justify risking a journey of thousands of miles to come here?

With a destination in mind, Ling Xiao headed straight for Volcano Tower guided by Xiao Jin.

Though Thunder City was vast and had many iconic buildings,

Volcano Tower was definitely the most distinctive.

From afar you could see a massive jagged tower stabbing up into the sky.

Moreover, eerie flames burned on Volcano Tower year-round. Anyone entering Volcano Tower, if they didn’t have a Fire-avoidance Talisman issued by the tower, wouldn’t be able to remain unharmed.

And each Fire-avoidance Talisman cost 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

These people really did know how to make money.

Arriving before Volcano Tower, Ling Xiao noticed that the Guards at the entrance all had Cultivation Level at First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Nine-layer Hell Peak.

Back then, he had actually had to look up to that kind of strength.
