“But elder sister, you must make a choice now. Once Representative Yan is killed, our Double Flower Pirate Crew will inevitably be blamed by the Water God Temple. You need to think this through carefully.”
Hua Lüeying spoke calmly.
Hua Fuguang was stunned for a moment. She did not know what was wrong with her today, making repeated misjudgements and losing face in front of her younger sister time and again.
“But younger sister, you must understand that the members of our Double Flower Pirate Crew are all poor women from various places. We must protect their lives. If we help Ling Xiao, we will face ruthless retaliation from the Water God Temple.”
Hua Fuguang gradually calmed down and spoke.
“Let’s go to the Tianlong Continent. The Heavenly Dynasty is currently in a state of reconstruction with everything waiting to be revived. If we go there, we will definitely have opportunities to develop. We cannot let the sisters remain pirates forever, can we?”
Hua Lüeying said.
Hua Fuguang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and removed the restriction on Hua Lüeying. “Younger sister, I hope you are right.”
…
At the same moment, on the long street, Zhang Tiande and Representative Yan were also surprised to see Ling Xiao safe and sound.
“Zhang Tiande, is this the effect of your so-called Jade Cage Formation? It is far too embarrassing. Hurry up and withdraw it. Watch how I destroy this evildoer!”
The Poison Soul Venerable looked at Ling Xiao with eyes full of hatred.
Back when he defected to the True Demon Empire, he was only a warrior who had just entered the Cave Heaven Realm. However, after the True Demon Empire carried out comprehensive modifications to his body,
he had now become a third Cave Heaven Realm expert.
Such progress had taken just a little over a year, which could truly be described as flying.
He did not care about any side effects from such modifications, nor did he care whether the True Demon Empire treated him as a guinea pig or experimental subject.
He only knew that his strength was increasing rapidly.
Ling Xiao had destroyed the True Demon Empire, which meant blocking his path of cultivation.
Today, he was determined to kill Ling Xiao!
Not only for revenge, but also to eliminate this terrifying prodigy!
Ling Xiao’s progress was simply too fast, leaving him completely unable to keep up.
That speed was like riding the fastest flying sword.
He was very afraid that in another year or two, or even in a few months, he would no longer be Ling Xiao’s match.
Right now was the best opportunity to kill Ling Xiao.
Zhang Tiande withdrew the Jade Cage Formation. His expression was rather grim.
However, that expression was mostly directed at Princess Yun Ya.
Compared to Ling Xiao, he naturally wanted Princess Yun Ya dead even more.
“Poison Soul Venerable, that Ling Xiao is yours. Representative Yan, please help me kill that woman!”
Zhang Tiande was naturally referring to Yun Ya. “As for that Feng Ming Piaoxue, leave her to me!”
They completely regarded Ling Xiao and the others as nothing, already dividing the spoils of war.
“Good!”
The other two did not refuse.
The Poison Soul Venerable hated Ling Xiao to the bone, so he had to kill Ling Xiao himself!
Representative Yan did not mind whom he killed. He simply wanted everyone who had acted against the One-Eyed Pirate Crew to die.
It made no difference whom he killed.
“Ling Xiao, rest assured, I will not let you die so easily. I will take good care of you and make your life worse than death!”
The Poison Soul Venerable looked at Ling Xiao and revealed a ferocious smile.
“Is that so? Just do not end up capsizing in the gutter.”
Ling Xiao replied indifferently.
No one could tell what he was thinking at this moment. People were very puzzled. At such a critical juncture, Ling Xiao could still act so brazenly?
What exactly was he relying on?
Whoosh!
Leng Mei suddenly released a chilling aura, controlling her cultivation at the third Cave Heaven Realm, exactly the same as the Poison Soul Venerable.
“Master, there is no need for you to act. This Poison Soul Venerable, leave his life to me.”
“Third Cave Heaven Realm! That young woman is actually a third Cave Heaven Realm expert! Good heavens, no wonder so many from the One-Eyed Pirate Crew died earlier. It was truly like eggs smashing against stone.”
Exclamations arose from the crowd.
Although many had guessed that Leng Mei was powerful, no one expected her to be this strong.
The Poison Soul Venerable’s brows also furrowed.
He only wanted to kill Ling Xiao.
“Heh heh, if the Poison Soul Venerable does not mind, how about leaving that little girl to me?”
A ghostly laugh echoed from the sky.
Then, a figure appeared in front of Leng Mei.
“Hua Fuguang!”
Representative Yan nodded in satisfaction. “Hua Fuguang, you have arrived just in time. Help the Poison Soul Venerable block that woman. It will count as a great merit for you!”
“As you command, Representative Yan!”
Hua Fuguang glanced at Representative Yan, then turned her head to look at Leng Mei.
“Where is Hua Lüeying?”
Ling Xiao asked with a frown.
“She is already dead!”
Hua Fuguang said indifferently. “She was clearly my younger sister, yet she betrayed me and the Water God Temple for a man. She had to die!”
“Is that so?”
From Hua Fuguang’s eyes, Ling Xiao saw an unusual colour.
He suddenly stepped forward, gently patted Leng Mei’s shoulder, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Leng Mei’s expression showed no change.
But she naturally understood Ling Xiao’s meaning.
“Understood, Master. I will do as you say.”
Leng Mei always obeyed Ling Xiao’s words without question. Even if Ling Xiao was wrong, she would not refute him.
Moreover today, she felt that Ling Xiao’s words made perfect sense.
Thus, Leng Mei faced Hua Fuguang.
Zhang Tiande faced Feng Ming Piaoxue.
Representative Yan faced Princess Yun Ya.
And Ling Xiao faced the Poison Soul Venerable.
Feng Ming Piaoxue, facing Zhang Tiande, did not dare to be careless and also released the aura of a Cave Heaven Realm warrior.
“Fourth Cave Heaven Realm!”
This realm was far higher than Mo Shaoyou’s.
From this alone, it was clear that young warriors from Changle Immortal Island were truly superior to those from the Seven Martial Sect Islands.
Although the Divine Phoenix Empire was said to be on par with the Seven Martial Sect Islands, in reality it was much stronger.
It was only because of restrictions from the Five Immortal Islands that neither the Divine Phoenix Empire nor the Black Crow Empire could expand wildly.
Otherwise, given the ambitions of the Divine Phoenix Empire and Black Crow Empire, they would probably soon stand equal with the Five Immortal Islands.
“Good, good girl. Changle Immortal Island has produced a true genius. So young yet already at the fourth Cave Heaven Realm. It truly surprises me. Rest assured, I will not kill you. After all, there are close trade relations between Changle Immortal Island and our Tianlong Trading Company. I will cherish you properly!”
Zhang Tiande looked at Feng Ming Piaoxue. Although somewhat surprised, in his view Feng Ming Piaoxue was still no match for him.
Though their cultivations were similar, his experience was far more seasoned.
Princess Yun Ya also revealed part of her strength, at the third Cave Heaven Realm, the same as Representative Yan.
“Good grief, those three women are all Cave Heaven Realm warriors. Yet Ling Xiao has the lowest cultivation among them?”
People truly did not know what to say about the current scene. They only felt it somewhat absurd.
Ling Xiao’s cultivation was clearly lower than those three women, yet those three women all seemed to listen to him.
