“Terrifying!”
The people sighed endlessly. How could they have imagined such an outcome?
They had thought that with the arrival of the One-Eyed Pirate Crew, Ling Xiao was doomed.
Yet now, the only one left from those who came was the Water God Temple representative who had not yet acted. The rest had either been killed or fled.
“No wonder this kid didn’t bother to leave. With such powerful strength and such strong allies, who would they fear?”
“The Water God Temple representative hasn’t made a move yet. The outcome is still uncertain, after all, that representative is a Cavern Heaven realm martial artist.”
Although Ling Xiao and the others had displayed overwhelming power and devastating lethality, the strongest enemy had not yet acted. The final result was truly unpredictable.
On the other side, at the highest point of the Black Wind Tower.
Hua Fuguang stood there, able to clearly see the scene below.
Hua Lueying was confined by restrictions, but she could also see what was happening.
“Sister, is this the scene you wanted me to watch? Do you feel like you’ve been slapped in the face? Does it hurt?”
Hua Lueying asked her sister with a beaming smile.
She knew very well that the reason her sister Hua Fuguang had brought her here was to let her see Ling Xiao make a fool of himself, and then completely abandon any thoughts of being with him.
However, what her sister Hua Fuguang had not expected was that Ling Xiao had put on quite a show.
“Slapped in the face? Not necessarily. The Water God Temple representative hasn’t acted yet. I refuse to believe that Ling Xiao would truly dare to attack a Water God Temple representative!”
Hua Fuguang gritted her teeth and said.
“Sister, it’s still not too late to release me now. If that Water God Temple representative gets killed later, even if we want to ally with Ling Xiao, he might not be interested anymore.”
Hua Lueying reminded her.
“You’re overestimating him. Forget about defeating him; today he won’t even dare to lay a hand on the Water God Temple representative. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”
Hua Fuguang persisted stubbornly.
The Water God Temple was such a terrifying existence. Once, there was a pirate crew even stronger than their Twin Flowers Pirate Crew operating in the Sin City seas.
That crew’s leader was also a Cavern Heaven realm martial artist, but just because he spoke arrogantly to a Water God Temple dispatched representative, without even fighting, the entire crew was annihilated the next day. All their bodies floated on the sea, their deaths extremely gruesome.
Because of this, Hua Fuguang had always obeyed the Water God Temple without question, never daring to defy their orders.
She was even less willing to offend them.
“Aren’t you going to act?”
Ling Xiao finally turned to look at the lofty Water God Temple representative.
This person had acted superior from beginning to end, able to casually manipulate others’ lives.
“Make me act? You’re not worthy!”
The Water God Temple representative looked coldly at Ling Xiao and said, “If you have the guts, don’t leave Sin City today. I’ll make you understand the terror of offending the Water God Temple.”
“Hehe, don’t worry. Not only will I not leave Sin City today, I won’t even leave this street.”
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly, casually touched his storage ring, and an open-air pavilion appeared on the street, able to block the sun’s rays.
Inside the pavilion were fruits, desserts, and tea, everything one could need.
“Miss Piaoxue, Leng Mei, Princess Yun Ya, come over and rest. Let’s resolve all the troubles today. No need to drag it into tomorrow. After all, I have to attend the Alchemy Conference tomorrow, and I can’t afford the delay.”
As Ling Xiao spoke, he sat down directly, picked up an apple, and began eating.
“Master, how about I go kill that Water God Temple representative?”
Leng Mei said in a lowered voice.
“Absolutely not!”
Princess Yun Ya and Feng Ming Piaoxue said almost simultaneously.
“Oh? Why not?”
Ling Xiao had originally been considering agreeing to Leng Mei’s request, after all, that Water God Temple representative truly wanted him dead.
Princess Yun Ya recounted the story of that pirate crew being exterminated.
Feng Ming Piaoxue also shared an incident involving Changle Immortal Island.
Both were related to the Water God Temple.
That pirate crew had been wiped out merely because their leader spoke insolently.
Changle Immortal Island had clashed head-on with the Water God Temple when extending their influence toward the White Tiger Continent.
The result was a massive defeat!
They not only lost many Cavern Heaven realm martial artists, but ultimately abandoned any ideas of expanding their power to the White Tiger Continent.
In contrast, the Water God Temple’s influence continued to expand in the seas of the Divine Phoenix Continent and the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
“Although family scandals shouldn’t be aired publicly, I still have to tell you: the Water God Temple is stronger than the Five Immortal Islands. You can’t provoke them, and neither can your country.”
Feng Ming Piaoxue said very seriously.
“Then what should I do? If he insists on killing me, am I supposed to stretch out my neck and let him?”
Ling Xiao retorted.
“That’s why I say it’s best to endure for now. That Water God Temple representative won’t act lightly either. He can control others to attack you, but he generally won’t act himself, because if he does, it could drag several major powers into conflict, leading to chaos.”
Feng Ming Piaoxue said, “If he really attacks you, then it won’t be too late to deal with him. We can’t strike first.”
“What a hassle, but since you say so, I’ll give you face, and give the Water God Temple face as well. I hope they behave themselves. Otherwise, no matter how many representatives they send, I’ll kill them all without mercy!”
Ling Xiao had not wanted to hold back, but he knew Feng Ming Piaoxue and Princess Yun Ya were looking out for him. Giving these two some face was no big deal.
In any case, the Water God Temple representative before him was not an overly strong opponent. Even without Yue Nü and the others helping, this representative wanting to kill Ling Xiao easily was practically impossible.
If Ling Xiao could not win, he could at least hold his own.
After persuading Ling Xiao, Feng Ming Piaoxue and Princess Yun Ya went to persuade the Water God Temple representative.
They had intended to seek reconciliation, but unfortunately, he did not take the two of them seriously at all.
“Changle Immortal Island has decent strength, but our Water God Temple’s affairs are none of your concern!
As for the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company, little girl, I’m afraid you alone can’t represent it. If I remember correctly, Zhang Tiande, the overseer in charge of the Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent regions, should also be in Sin City. Would he tolerate you helping that kid and making an enemy of our Water God Temple?”
The Water God Temple representative clearly had some wariness toward the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company, but he did not fear Princess Yun Ya.
Because Yun Ya could not represent the entire Heavenly Dragon Trading Company.
“Hahaha, Representative Yan is absolutely right. That’s exactly what I think.”
Suddenly, dust billowed in the distance as another group arrived. It was none other than Zhang Tiande from the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company and his subordinates.
“Yun Ya, you really are audacious, daring to harm the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company’s interests behind my back. What crime should you bear!”
His first words upon arrival were to interrogate Princess Yun Ya.
It was clear that this Zhang Tiande truly disliked Yun Ya.
“Harm the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company’s interests? Overseer, where do you get that from?”
Yun Ya asked indifferently.
