This Chang Yueying is quite interesting. When enemies come bullying at her doorstep, instead of thinking about how to resist, she only considers handing over her sect’s disciples to appease them. Isn’t that just too spineless?
“Tch, tch, the head of Yuehua Sect’s Enforcement Hall is truly useless, unable to even control a single disciple!”
The woman in red glanced at Chang Yueying, smiling mockingly.
Hearing this, Chang Yueying’s face flushed red with embarrassment. She was once the sect leader of Yuehua Sect, yet now she was so humiliated, all because of Ling Xiao.
Her gaze suddenly turned icy. In front of so many people, Ling Xiao had indeed disrespected her, making her lose face. This was something she couldn’t tolerate.
Yet she never considered whether her own actions were inappropriate.
“Ling Xiao, I’ll ask you one last time. Where did you hide those two slaves you brought back?”
Chang Yueying struggled to suppress her anger. She didn’t dare lash out at the red-robed elder, but in front of Ling Xiao, she could act high and mighty.
Ling Xiao looked at Chang Yueying, shaking his head slightly, then said with a hint of mockery, “When the Yuehua Heavenly Maiden manifested, she actually let you become the head of the Enforcement Hall.
Now it seems that was a complete mistake.
As the head of Yuehua Sect’s Enforcement Hall, you bow and scrape before a mere first-tier martial artist from Sword King Sect, acting like a grovelling servant. Yet you shout and lord it over your own sect’s disciples. This is simply a disgrace to Yuehua Sect!
No wonder Yuehua Sect was a laughingstock in the Holy Dynasty back then. It’s because of sect leaders like you!
I’m disgusted!”
His words not only shocked the people from Sword King Sect but also stunned Chang Yueying and Chang Yueli.
No one expected him to dare say such things, and to do so in front of everyone.
“Shut up!”
Chang Yueying was trembling all over, clearly on the verge of exploding.
But Ling Xiao had no intention of stopping. Smiling, he continued, “If you really had any skill, any ability, any strength, why not start by killing these Sword King Sect nobodies? Show everyone the true might of Yuehua Sect’s Enforcement Hall head!
If you can’t do that, then shut your mouth and obediently play the coward. Don’t strut around in front of me, acting like a rabid dog off its leash!”
“You bastard, I’ll kill you!”
Terrifying true energy surged from Chang Yueying’s body.
The peak Heavenly Human Realm aura startled the red-robed woman from Sword King Sect and the others, who all stepped back.
Within a radius of hundreds of metres, killing intent surged, as if forming an ocean of murderous aura.
At this moment, Chang Yueying was losing her rationality.
Ling Xiao had dared to insult her like this, in front of so many people. He had to die!
His death was the only way to quell her rage!
“Kill me? Hmph, all you’re good for is showing off in front of a mere Mortal Realm martial artist like me!”
Ling Xiao looked at Chang Yueying calmly, her killing intent having no effect on him.
“Aaah, I’m so furious! Let me teach this foolish woman a lesson!”
At that moment, even the spirit form of the Yuehua Heavenly Maiden in the Yuehua Token couldn’t take it anymore.
Chang Yueying’s stupidity and shameless cowardice were driving the spirit, which shared the Yuehua Heavenly Maiden’s personality, to the brink of explosion.
“No rush. She won’t dare make a move. With Wu Xiang around, she lacks the guts, and there’s no need for internal conflict now.”
Ling Xiao had no intention of letting the spirit act. He looked at Chang Yueying and said, “If you really dared to attack, I’d actually respect you, you cowardly woman!”
Chang Yueying indeed didn’t dare. Despite her fierce posturing, it was all just for show.
If she truly had the courage, she wouldn’t have failed, after all these years, to seek justice from Sword King Sect for the Yuehua Sect disciples who died.
She looked at Wu Xiang standing beside Ling Xiao, her expression turning grim. Her aura was impressive, but she didn’t dare act.
Because she feared Wu Xiang.
Just as she feared Sword King Sect.
“Sigh, you useless thing. You still don’t dare attack in the end!”
Ling Xiao glanced at Chang Yueying faintly. This woman was truly disappointing. Faced with someone stronger, she lacked even the courage to resist. What a coward.
“Since you don’t dare attack, get out of the way and stop embarrassing yourself!”
Ling Xiao said coldly, then walked past Chang Yueying, looking at the red-robed woman and asking, “Are you here for me?”
“Correct!”
The red-robed woman looked at Ling Xiao mockingly and said, “Originally, we came for you, but I didn’t expect to witness such a good show.”
“Is that so? You’ll see an even better show soon, and you’ll be part of it!”
Ling Xiao said calmly.
“You little beast, you’ve got a sharp tongue. Today, I’ll rip it out!”
The red-robed woman said angrily.
“Why so much nonsense? I’m right here. Aren’t you going to make a move? I can tell you clearly: Wu Zonglian was killed by me! So was Chen Tian!”
Ling Xiao’s voice was calm and composed, as if he didn’t care at all about the furious Sword King Sect.
This confident demeanour made the Sword King Sect disciples uneasy, wondering where this kid’s confidence came from.
The red-robed woman sneered. If Yuehua Sect were united, she might have been wary. But from what she’d just seen, this kid named Ling Xiao seemed to be on bad terms with Chang Yueying. In that case, Chang Yueying and Chang Yueli likely wouldn’t help.
As for Golden Light Heavenly Venerable, the death-row prisoners she brought would be enough to deal with him.
And Yuehua Sect’s new sect leader, Wu Xiang? She didn’t take him seriously at all. Just some nobody, probably pushed out by Yuehua Sect as a scapegoat.
“Capture him. Make sure he’s alive. I want this kid to kneel before my disciple’s grave and admit his wrongs!”
The red-robed woman waved to those behind her, speaking coldly.
Immediately, five people leapt out from behind her, all at the peak of the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, invincible in their realm.
This alone showed that Sword King Sect’s overall strength was indeed far greater than Yuehua Sect’s.
In Yuehua Sect, martial artists of this calibre could easily rank among the top five core disciples, at least in terms of cultivation.
But in Sword King Sect, they were merely standouts among the inner disciples.
Seeing these five charge forward, Ling Xiao gave a slight shake of his hands, air swords swirling around his fingertips.
His gaze was calm, showing no intention of retreating.
Martial artists of this level? Let alone five, even fifty wouldn’t faze Ling Xiao.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!
Five consecutive sounds rang out as five air swords shot through the air.
The five standout inner disciples of Sword King Sect didn’t even have a chance to show their strength before they felt a chill at their throats. Then their consciousness faded, and hot blood gushed from their necks.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!
Five people!
Five lives!
Five corpses!
Without the slightest suspense!
