“Even if the Human King were still alive, he would probably be no more than this!”
“This fellow’s talent is truly too terrifying. Given time, if he does not die, he might really become another Human King.”
People could not help but discuss among themselves in low voices. Even those who disliked Ling Xiao felt that this guy’s talent was excessively powerful.
However, some people were full of expectation.
While others intended to strangle Ling Xiao in the cradle.
In the crowd, quite a few gazes directed at Ling Xiao were filled with ill intent.
Sun Ran and Xiao Zhi were probably the most obvious.
The Medicine King Sun Ran had not only lost a great deal of face because of Ling Xiao, but with this fellow’s petty mindset, he would never allow someone as outstanding as Ling Xiao to continue living.
He did not want to lose his position.
Xiao Zhi was the Ice General of the Divine Phoenix Empire, the elder brother of the Blazing Fire General Xiao Zhan.
Ling Xiao had killed Xiao Zhan, so he naturally came to take revenge.
Moreover, he was also one of the people from Phoenix Cry Qishan.
Phoenix Cry Qishan disliked Ling Xiao, so he wanted to help that Crown Prince eliminate a dissident.
Of course, among the unfriendly gazes towards Ling Xiao, there were also those from the people of the Ghost God Temple.
When they arrived, there were twenty-four prisoners, but now one had died, and it was killed by a small fry like Ling Xiao.
This not only surprised them, but also made them somewhat angry.
Of course, more importantly, it was because Ling Xiao had ruined their plan.
They had originally intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but who knew that an anomaly like Ling Xiao would appear, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of their plan.
People would think that they were not that terrifying after all, that they could be defeated, and there was no need to fear them so much.
Precisely because of this, quite a few warriors who believed themselves no inferior to Ling Xiao had already approached the twenty-four prisoners, the thirteen Ghost God Dogs, and the single black sedan chair.
Among them, of course, were the Medicine King Sun Ran, Ji Qing, the Chang Le Old Ancestor, and even the Heavy Water Protector from the Water God Temple.
The Imperial Seal had been seized by the Ghost God Temple, which temporarily freed the Water God Temple from their predicament, but he had no intention of truly abandoning that object. Otherwise, the Water God Temple would be pulled even further behind by the Ghost God Temple.
“Ghost Chonglou! Since you have come, why act so sneakily? Are you comfortable hiding in your coffin box?”
At that moment, a strange fragrance drifted over.
Then, a person arrived gracefully.
“Master!”
Tianhai Zhenzhu looked at this person and excitedly called out.
The newcomer was none other than the Weak Water Protector of the Water God Temple, Tianhai Mingyue. Like the Heavy Water Protector, she was a Yin-Yang Realm expert, and rumours said she might be even stronger than the Heavy Water Protector.
From her every movement at this moment, it seemed the rumours were not wrong.
Every gesture of this woman exuded strong aristocratic air, and her attire was also of the opulent and magnificent kind, quite different from the ethereal transcendence of the Moon Maiden.
Ghost Chonglou?
Many people were stunned for a moment.
They might have heard of the Ghost God Temple, but they had never heard the name Ghost Chonglou, so they did not know what it meant or what it represented.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black light shot out from the black sedan chair. It appeared formless and traceless, without any power.
However, the Weak Water Protector was clearly startled.
“Good fellow, Ghost Chonglou. In just a few years, you have unexpectedly reached the third level of the Yin-Yang Realm. Good, very good!”
The Weak Water Protector’s expression fluctuated between clear and overcast. She forcefully blocked that black light, yet she was shaken back four or five steps before stopping.
“The Imperial Seal, we no longer want it. Water God Temple, withdraw!”
With the Weak Water Protector’s command, even though Tianhai Zhenzhu had ten thousand questions, she had to obediently comply.
The Heavy Water Protector was stunned for a moment, but soon after, he understood the Weak Water Protector’s meaning.
As fellow Yin-Yang Realm warriors, the gap between the second and third levels was truly too great.
Ordinary people could not possibly bridge it.
Moreover, those who could cultivate to the Yin-Yang Realm, which one was not a genius? To challenge across levels in the Yin-Yang Realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Unless you were a peerless monster like the Human King.
“Go!”
The Heavy Water Protector also shook his head and actually left.
The person in the bronze coffin did not stop them.
Although he was stronger than both of them, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, he had come for the Imperial Seal, not to make enemies.
Watching the people from the Water God Temple retreat, even abandoning the Imperial Seal, the remaining warriors looked at each other, dumbfounded and at a loss.
“Yun Ya, Tianlong Trading Company will temporarily give up competing for the Imperial Seal. With Ghost Chonglou’s appearance, he has already gained the upper hand. Alas, it is my fault for not having the head office send someone.”
At this time, Ji Qing also spoke, and the group from Tianlong Trading Company withdrew one after another.
Before leaving, he glanced at Ling Xiao in the crowd and said, “Even without the Imperial Seal, you can still become a peerless hero. There is no need to lose your life over it. Leave quickly.”
“Thank you for the reminder, senior.”
Regarding this Ji Qing, regardless of his true intentions, Ling Xiao still had a relatively good impression.
However, after Ji Qing left, he did not leave.
Because he knew that the Ghost God Temple could tolerate others leaving, but they could not tolerate him leaving.
“Luo Yu, let us go too.”
The Medicine King Sun Ran hesitated for a long time. Although extremely unwilling, this person had one virtue: he was sufficiently cautious.
The Imperial Seal falling into the hands of the Ghost God Temple posed no threat to him. After all, even the Ghost God Temple needed pills.
He simply did not want that object to fall into Ling Xiao’s hands.
“Yes, Master.”
Before leaving, Ji Luoyu also glanced at Ling Xiao, reminding him not to covet the Imperial Seal.
Soon after, the people from Chang Le Immortal Island, Black Water Immortal Island, and the Black Crow Empire all left.
In addition, a large batch of warriors departed.
In just a moment, before Ghost Chonglou had even shown himself, merely by displaying a bit of his strength, he had directly frightened away more than half the warriors.
These people should consider themselves fortunate for leaving. They should feel glad about their choice.
“You are not leaving?”
A voice came from within the bronze coffin, directed straight at Ling Xiao.
“I would like to leave, but I am afraid I cannot, right?”
Ling Xiao said indifferently.
“Hahaha, you are sensible. If you do not leave, I will only kill you. But if you try to leave, I will kill everyone around you.”
That voice was sinister and terrifying, like the sound of a ghost messenger from hell.
Many people trembled upon hearing it.
Some warriors who were only at the Celestial Realm turned and fled directly.
They could not even withstand the killing intent released by the opponent. How could they talk about competing for the Imperial Seal? It would be nothing but daydreaming.
“A mere branch hall master of the Ghost God Temple, yet with such arrogant words. Do not forget that the Tianlong Continent is the origin of everything in the Profound Realm. A third-level Yin-Yang Realm expert is indeed extremely powerful, but if you want to kill me, it may not be that easy.”
Ling Xiao felt slightly nervous inside.
He could not see through the cultivation of a Yin-Yang Realm warrior, so he did not know whether the Moon Maiden was stronger or this fellow was.
But at this moment, since he knew he was going to be killed anyway, why should he grovel?
