Corpse Granny, Zhang Tiande, and Representative Yan all thought that Python Five could at least hold off Moon Maiden for a moment. But who could have imagined that, with just one strike from her, he would be scared into fleeing like a panicked rat.
This was no longer the powerful and domineering hero of the underworld. He was simply a worthless coward.
At this point, how could they dare to remain in place? They only lingered because they still wanted the imperial jade seal. Although they fled, they did not go far. They hid within Sin City, waiting for an opportunity to see if they could seize the imperial jade seal.
Lingxiao had already charged into the crowd of Black Python family members and begun a massive slaughter.
In those hollow skeleton eyes, there was not the slightest trace of sympathy or pity.
Only killing could stop killing!
Only force could counter force!
No matter how many people preached about laying down the butcher’s knife, countless facts had proven one thing: stopping killing with killing was the true royal path!
No dynasty had ever been established without bloodshed.
Because in this cruel world, if you did not kill others, others would kill you!
If you showed sympathy and pity to others, what you received in return would not be gratitude, but only repayment of kindness with enmity.
Soon, all the martial artists of the Black Python family had turned into cold corpses.
Lingxiao was still not satisfied.
He leaped into the air and landed on the Black Python family’s mansion. After confirming that Old Ancestor Changle and the others were not inside, he destroyed the mansion as well.
This was not only venting anger, but also a warning!
He wanted to tell the world that anyone who dared to provoke him, Lingxiao, would find the Black Python family the best example!
On the other side, Python Tian had been killed, Python Yuntu had been killed. Only Python Feng was still desperately holding on.
Watching the members of the Black Python family die miserably one by one, his heart twisted in pain.
He hated himself. Why had he not stopped Python Five from troubling Lingxiao? If he had stopped it, things would never have reached this point.
The surrounding crowd trembled in fear.
Today, they finally understood one fact.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty was not a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse. He was a terrifying existence, one truly capable of making his enemies prefer death over life.
Perhaps the imperial jade seal truly belonged to none but him.
Only the truly powerful deserved to possess such a treasure.
“I regret it so much!”
With a mournful cry, Python Feng was also stabbed to death by Leng Mei.
In the moment before death, he finally had an epiphany.
Since Lingxiao dared to come to Sin City, he could not possibly be someone who feared trouble.
Even knowing the imperial jade seal was a hot potato, Lingxiao was still unwilling to discard it. That made him even more terrifying.
It showed that this young man had sufficient confidence to control the imperial jade seal.
Just like when the Human King possessed it years ago, no one dared to rob him.
For many people, it was a hot potato. But for Lingxiao, it was an absolute necessity.
He knew that from today onward, he would encounter all sorts of troubles. Many people would attack him to obtain the imperial jade seal.
But he felt not the slightest fear. Instead, he sensed tremendous excitement deep in his soul.
The more enemies that came, the better. That would help him continually improve his strength.
His power did not come from sitting in meditation and cultivating. It came from rising through constant battles.
If simply sitting in meditation could turn one into a powerhouse, then powerhouses would be far too cheap.
The battle ended.
Sin City lay in ruins.
Yet Lingxiao, in front of everyone, announced one thing: the imperial jade seal is in my hands. Whoever wants it can come and take it. But think carefully before coming. The Black Python family is your example. I will absolutely spare no one alive!
Just as Lingxiao made this announcement, Moon Maiden returned.
Python Five’s corpse was directly thrown onto the long street.
That was the body of a Yin-Yang realm martial artist!
Even a powerhouse like Python Five had been killed. How terrifying must the woman beside Lingxiao be?
“Immortal Pot Eye: Collect!”
Lingxiao would not waste Python Five’s corpse. Although the man was dead, the soul force and Yin-Yang primal force in his body were astonishing. These must not be wasted. For Lingxiao’s breakthrough and cultivation improvement, they were crucial.
One battle had left Sin City in panic.
Many even felt that, with the Black Python family fallen, the upcoming alchemy conference could no longer be held.
After all, Sin City’s alchemy conference had always been hosted by the Black Python family.
Yet amid this panic, Old Ancestor Changle from Changle Immortal Island appeared.
The old man looked like an immortal who had achieved enlightenment, sitting in a sedan chair.
That sedan chair actually floated in mid-air, with no one carrying it.
From this alone, it was clear that Old Ancestor Changle’s poison had mostly been neutralised, and his cultivation had largely recovered.
“Everyone, the destruction of the Black Python family was their own fault. As for other matters, none are as important as the alchemy conference!”
Old Ancestor Changle declared loudly, “In the past, the alchemy conference was hosted by the Black Python family, which made it seem somewhat petty. This time, I announce here that this alchemy conference, the last to be held in Sin City, will be hosted by Changle Immortal Island. From now on, all alchemy conferences will be moved to Changle Immortal Island!”
Old Ancestor Changle was truly formidable. The alchemy conference was an important event for testing alchemists’ levels.
In the past, its scale was already considerable, but unfortunately the Black Python family’s influence was limited, so fewer alchemists attended.
This time, hosting it under Changle Immortal Island’s name meant that basically all young alchemists from the Heavenly Dragon Continent, Divine Phoenix Continent, and nearby sea regions would probably come.
It might even attract some outstanding young alchemists from the White Tiger Continent to participate.
“Because of some temporary changes, to give alchemists time to travel to Sin City conveniently, this alchemy conference is postponed by three days.”
After announcing this, Old Ancestor Changle left the scene.
But before departing, he nodded towards Lingxiao.
This was a kind of stance. Though he said nothing, it showed he would not blame Lingxiao for dealing with the Black Python family.
After all, the Black Python family had deep ties with Changle Immortal Island.
“Thank you!”
Lingxiao had already withdrawn the skeleton soldier. Although he felt his body swaying, as if it no longer belonged to him, he still managed to say thanks.
Afterwards, under the escort of Leng Mei and the others, he returned to Princess Yunya’s residence.
Once there, Lingxiao simply fell asleep.
He was truly exhausted!
Fighting by using his primal spirit to leave the body was far more powerful than using his own body, but it was also far more taxing.
Especially the after-effects, which were a bit too severe. He was truly struggling to bear them.
Perhaps Old Ancestor Changle’s announcement of postponing the alchemy conference was, for him, actually a good thing.
Lingxiao rested fully for two days.
On the third day, he finally awoke from his deep sleep.
And in those two days, some subtle changes had occurred in Sin City.
