Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Late at night, outside the Demon Child Hall, Ling Xiao, who had been cultivating for a long while, came out for some air.

He was someone who cared a lot about balancing work and rest; even though he was anxious to improve his strength, he wouldn’t force himself to death from exhaustion.

”Who?”

Ling Xiao, who was strolling about, suddenly saw a sneaky figure flash past outside the Demon Child Hall.

Though he considered that it was very likely bait, he still gave chase.

Anyone who dared to sneak around the Demon Child Hall was most likely up to no good against him or the people inside.

He absolutely couldn’t ignore it.

Unleashing the Magic Dragon Illusion Body Technique, he caught up to that figure not long after.

”Brother Ling, it’s me!”

”Tuo Ba Yun Xiang!”

Ling Xiao frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. Tuo Ba Yun Xiang coming to the Demon Child Hall in the middle of the night definitely meant something important.

”I’ll keep it short. Someone’s going to move against Heiye Wuxing—be extremely careful.”

Tuo Ba Yun Xiang hadn’t participated in that secret meeting, but that didn’t stop him from learning its contents through certain channels.

After all, he was Overlord Blade Gui Li’s disciple; even those branch masters had to show him some respect.

Of course, the information he’d obtained wasn’t detailed. He only knew that someone wanted to harm Heiye Wuxing; as for the specifics, he wasn’t clear.

With that said, he turned and left.

Ling Xiao didn’t try to stop him. Though he was puzzled about how Heiye Wuxing could be targeted while inside the Demon Child Hall, since Tuo Ba Yun Xiang had taken the risk to warn him, it had to be true.

Thinking of this, a cold smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

”Although Tuo Ba Yun Xiang didn’t spell it out, this matter definitely has everything to do with Yun Zhong Feng and his lot.

I once swore: whoever dares harm my family, I’ll send them to their deaths!

I can’t deal with Yun Zhong Feng for the time being, but Yun Lan and the First Elder of the Sect—you two can forget about living!”

With that thought, he immediately used his Soul Power to contact Xiao Jin: ”Keep watch on everyone who approaches the Mountain Master. Even if they’re our own people, absolutely do not underestimate them!”

”Got it, boss!”

Xiao Jin didn’t ask why. Since Ling Xiao commanded it, he naturally had his reasons; Xiao Jin just had to carry it out.

After notifying Xiao Jin, Ling Xiao felt slightly more at ease.

He believed that anyone able to make a move on Heiye Wuxing inside the Demon Child Hall had to be one of their own.

They were definitely among Chen Buyi’s adopted sons and daughters.

Looked like Yun Zhong Feng had planted his undercover agents a long time ago.

Hmph, this time I’ll make you lose your undercover and your troops!

I’ll see your years of scheming go up in smoke.

With that in mind, he turned back toward the Demon Child Hall.

Even with Xiao Jin there, he still couldn’t be completely at ease. Although Xiao Jin could protect Heiye Wuxing, how many undercover agents Yun Zhong Feng had, and who exactly they were—that wasn’t something Xiao Jin could judge.

How could he allow undercover agents to sleep peacefully beside his couch?

This time, he was determined to drag out every last one of Yun Zhong Feng’s plants!

...

The Demon Child Hall was huge. Heiye Wuxing liked quiet, so he’d chosen the innermost courtyard to live in.

At that moment, he was sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

Although his aptitude wasn’t as good as Ling Xiao’s, he didn’t want to be too much of a burden to Ling Xiao. If there was a chance, of course he had to do his best to raise his Cultivation Level.

Fortunately, the cultivation conditions here were much better than at Eight Immortals Mountain, and his strength had never been weak to begin with.

He had now recovered to the Pinnacle of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Eighth Layer Hell.

But in the Demon Dragon Sect, that level of cultivation was absolutely at the bottom; if someone really wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t be able to resist at all.

So he had to work even harder.

Xiao Jin was standing on a nearby tree, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

After receiving Ling Xiao’s message, he didn’t dare slack off in the slightest.

It wasn’t long before a group of about ten people, led by Chen Luan, walked over.

They were all Chen Buyi’s adopted sons and daughters.

Because they were worried about being secretly killed by Yun Zhong Feng’s people, they’d moved into the Demon Child Hall.

It was just that today they had all come together—who knew for what.

A faint sense of unease rose in Xiao Jin’s heart.

If one or two came, he could keep an eye on them.

But with about ten people arriving at once, how was he supposed to judge which one was Yun Zhong Feng’s undercover?

As he was thinking this, Heiye Wuxing had already opened his eyes and was looking at the group.

”Senior Heiye, we were bored, so we specially prepared some food and wine. You’ve been working hard cultivating too—why not take a break with us? We can also talk about problems in cultivation; we can help answer your questions.”

Chen Luan said with a smile.

Because Ling Xiao had given them this refuge, they could remain safe and sound. So according to common sense, coming to express their thanks to Heiye Wuxing was only right.

The reason was perfectly reasonable.

”Alright!”

Heiye Wuxing didn’t know there was any danger. He felt this was a gesture of goodwill, so he nodded and accepted.

Xiao Jin at the side grew even more worried.

To be able to identify the undercover as quickly as possible, he deliberately flew onto Heiye Wuxing’s shoulder.

This way, no matter who made a move, he could block it at the first instant.

The food and wine were quickly laid out, and everyone sat down.

Chen Luan was the first to raise his cup to clink with Heiye Wuxing’s, which made Xiao Jin pay particular attention to him.

However, just then, the person closest to Heiye Wuxing suddenly had a small knife appear in his hand, only about an inch long.

A faint, cold gleam shone along the blade, as if it had been coated with some deadly poison.

The small knife thrust toward Heiye Wuxing.

Excited laughter flickered in that man’s eyes.

As long as he completed this mission, he could throw off his undercover identity and openly become an Elder Zong of the Sect.

This was the promise Vice Dean Cloud had given him.

At that time, what could he possibly want that he couldn’t have?

He would no longer have to play the coward every single day.

However, just as the tip of the knife was about to touch Heiye Wuxing, a terrifying wave of heat energy came crashing toward him.

His body felt like it was out of his control as he was sent flying backward, heavily smashing into the ground. The knife fell from his hand, still glinting with that eerie cold light.

”Chen Pi, what are you doing!”

Chen Luan stared at the knife in shock, and in an instant understood what was going on.

”What am I doing? Killing that piece of trash, of course!”

Chen Pi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, ”You bunch of idiots still don’t get it? Chen Buyi is finished. Following Vice Dean Cloud is the only right path!

Right now, Vice Dean Cloud’s order to me is to kill that piece of trash. As long as I kill him, I can get anything I want.”

”Bastard, I’ll kill you!”

Chen Luan strode over and grabbed the man by the neck.

At the same time, Xiao Jin was staring fixedly at this person, wanting to grind his bones to dust.

”You dare kill me? I’m Vice Dean Cloud’s man. If you kill me, even Chen Buyi won’t be able to save you.”

The man looked at Chen Luan arrogantly and said coldly, ”You lot have always been a bunch of cowards—did you really think I don’t know?

Following you cowards, I’ve been playing the humble grandson for a long time. I’ve been fed up for ages!”

”Since you’re fed up, then go die.”

The one speaking was Xiao Jin. He wasn’t Chen Luan and didn’t have Chen Luan’s scruples. Terrifying flames spewed from his mouth, and in just an instant, that man was turned to ash.
