“Waiting?”
Ming Jin looked at Feng Yinshan in confusion. He did not know what his lord was waiting for.
“Yes. Behind Ling Xiao, there should not be only one Moon Lady. And Ji Lingyue should still be alive.”
Feng Yinshan sighed.
“What!”
Ming Jin suddenly felt that there must be a huge secret hidden behind this, something he did not know.
He did not want to know, but Feng Yinshan did not stop and continued speaking on his own.
“About fourteen years ago, when Ling Xiao had just turned three, he should have actually met his sister Ji Lingyue. But because he was too young, his memories might be blurry.
At that time, I was only thirteen. Although I was considered a genius youth in the clan, placed with high hopes just like Feng Ming Qishan.
But in that era, no genius could compare to Ji Lingyue. At thirteen, I was merely at the ninth level of Martial Vein realm. Yet her? Tenth Cavern Heaven realm!
The gap was truly terrifying!
Because of this, the eight great clans became afraid!
Behind the backs of Ji Fuling and Yu Xuanyue, they secretly negotiated with the Jia family of the Righteous Alliance and devised a plan to make Ji Lingyue disappear.
You should know what happened afterwards, so I will not say more.
While Ji Fuling and Yu Xuanyue were deceived into going to a more distant place to search for Ji Lingyue, their daughter Ji Lingyue had her martial soul forcibly extracted!”
“What!”
Hearing this, Ming Jin felt a chill run down his spine.
The eight great clans and the Jia family of the Righteous Alliance had actually joined forces to extract the martial soul of a twelve-year-old girl.
“You should know that a martial artist whose martial soul is forcibly extracted will die. So they did not bother with the girl afterwards. However, who would have thought that the people guarding Ji Lingyue were killed, and Ji Lingyue mysteriously vanished.”
At this point, Feng Yinshan revealed a mocking smile and said, “A little girl disappeared, yet it scared several ancestors of the eight great clans into constant fear and anxiety every day. They feared Ji Lingyue’s talent and worried that she would return to seek revenge.
Although they had extracted the child’s martial soul, they still felt uneasy in their hearts.
Yet more than ten years passed, Ji Lingyue never appeared. Instead, a Ling Xiao emerged! A madman whose talent and potential were in no way inferior to his sister’s.
Do you know why the Jia family, Peacock Clan, and Great Peng Clan joined forces? It was precisely to prevent what happened back then from repeating.
They could no longer withstand such torment.
Back then, with Ji Fuling and Yu Xuanyue protecting Ji Lingyue, they had to act in secret.
And today, with the Moon Lady protecting Ling Xiao, they dare not do such things openly.”
At this point, Feng Yinshan could not help but grin and said, “I was a witness to that incident back then. I witnessed the ruthlessness and darkness of this world.
So you should understand, I will not save Ling Xiao. My sympathy completely vanished after that event.”
Ming Jin fell silent as he looked toward Ling Xiao.
He suddenly felt that this pair of siblings, Ji Lingyue and Ling Xiao, were truly too pitiful.
Ji Fuling and Yu Xuanyue were even more pitiful.
They were clearly heroes who saved the Divine Phoenix Continent, yet the people they saved secretly plotted against their daughter.
Fortunately they did not know the truth. Otherwise, one could not imagine how much pain and resentment they would feel.
Ji Lingyue had not appeared for more than ten years. Either she was dead, or she had faded into obscurity.
Would Ling Xiao die today as well?
Ming Jin thought of himself and could not help sighing. He really wanted to help, because his own background was equally tragic.
But he was Feng Yinshan’s man. If Feng Yinshan did not allow him to act, he would not act.
The only thing worth feeling fortunate about now was that the son of those two legendary figures was not a coward. If given enough time to grow, he would become an even more formidable person than his parents.
Perhaps not as great, and even somewhat cold-blooded and cruel. But Ming Jin felt that in the Mysterious Realm, to achieve better things, Ling Xiao’s personality was actually necessary.
Ling Xiao’s parents, those two legendary figures, were a bit too kind. As a result, many shameless scoundrels were allowed to live.
In mid-air, Ling Xiao kept panting heavily. He could feel that both “Nine Transformations of the Crimson Sun” and “Heavenly Demon Annihilation Art” were actually starting to change at the same time.
Although he was seriously injured, after this intensified use, that feeling of sudden enlightenment became even clearer.
Not only that, he felt that his cultivation at the peak of Second Cavern Heaven realm seemed to show signs of breaking through.
As long as he did not die today, his strength would surely see another astonishing leap.
It seemed that this kind of life-and-death battle was truly very useful. Though dangerous, the benefits were immense.
However, at this moment, Manager Jia also noticed his situation.
At this most critical moment of enlightenment, Manager Jia wanted to kill him and leave him no chance to grow stronger again.
“Extinction Blade, Dragon Sucking Water!”
Amid furious roars, Manager Jia unleashed an even stronger attack. The huge iron shovel condensed from the raindrop in his hand swung down toward Ling Xiao like a massive blade.
The terrifying martial soul combined with powerful vital energy actually turned this blade into a giant object more than ten metres long and four to five metres wide.
And its speed was terrifyingly fast.
“This strike, Ling Xiao absolutely cannot dodge!”
In the crowd, many people closed their eyes. They could not bear to watch such a peerless monstrous genius be killed like this.
Ming Jin also let out a long sigh.
Feng Yinshan showed an expression of disappointment.
Was Ling Xiao really going to die?
“What is he doing?”
Yet in that very instant, people discovered that Ling Xiao had actually closed his eyes.
“Has he finally accepted his fate of defeat?”
“Sigh, it seems no matter how strong a martial artist is, they still have a fragile side. He is finally tired and cannot hold on anymore.”
“Given up? Good that he gave up. In this world, not everyone can defy fate. Go die!”
When Manager Jia saw Ling Xiao close his eyes, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
What he feared most was that this troublesome guy would be impossible to kill no matter what. That would be too exhausting.
Boom!
A massive explosion rang out. Jaws dropped all over the place.
Manager Jia’s huge blade chopped down, yet it did not touch Ling Xiao at all.
Above Ling Xiao’s head, a cluster of seven-coloured light was flickering there. After the enormous blade qi struck it, it could no longer move an inch.
“What is this situation?”
Not only the crowd felt puzzled, Manager Jia himself also found it inexplicable.
“Who is it?”
After his strike failed, Manager Jia became even more irritated. He coldly stared at the small cluster of seven-coloured light above Ling Xiao’s head and roared loudly.
Only now did people gradually see clearly. Floating above Ling Xiao’s head in that seven-coloured radiance was actually a butterfly.
A seven-coloured butterfly.
The strange thing was that, apart from the wings, the rest of this butterfly looked exactly like a human.
A delicate, adorable little beauty who was cute to the extreme.
“No one is allowed to bully my Brother Ling Xiao!”
From Die Nu’s mouth came a sweet and pleasant voice. Everyone who heard it felt their hearts soften, their whole bodies extremely comfortable.
