Among these enforcement disciples were Mo Wushang and Dao Wuming.
The Heavenly King Sect’s enforcement disciples, like those of the Moonlight Sect, were carefully selected from inner and core disciples. Not only were they highly skilled, but they also excelled in coordinated combat.
One enforcement elder was enough to overwhelm Ling Xiao. Now, with over a dozen enforcement disciples surrounding him, it was clear they were completely shameless.
“Get lost!”
Ling Xiao’s face darkened. Facing attacks from all directions, he had no intention of holding back.
With his Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, he unleashed the “Sun Sword Ray.”
Blinding golden light shot outward.
Clang, clang, clang!
The dozen enforcement disciples who flew in were sent flying back.
Thud, thud, thud!
They crashed to the ground, unable to move.
Pierced by golden sword qi, they were lucky to be alive.
Mo Wushang, sprawled like a dead dog, stared at Ling Xiao in terror.
He had thought he was close to Ling Xiao, that he could catch up. Now, he saw it was mere delusion.
When Ling Xiao unleashed his true strength, Mo Wushang had no chance.
Even the Three Talents Heaven enforcement elder staggered back a few steps, his face uncertain.
“Heh, poisoning? What a joke. He took down a dozen of the Heavenly King Sect’s enforcement disciples in one move and pushed back their elder. Does someone like that need to poison?”
“Exactly, do they think we’re idiots?”
“But do you think the Heavenly King Sect and Holy Dynasty just want Ling Xiao dead?”
“Don’t be naive. They’re after his Hell Dragon Soul and Nature Dragon Soul. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t want them?”
“Of course I would, but with the Heavenly King Sect and Holy Dynasty acting, we can’t compete.”
“Let’s wait and see. There might be a chance!”
The crowd below had their own motives. The nine dragon souls were too enticing. Ling Xiao possessing two made envy inevitable.
With one move, he disabled a dozen enforcement disciples and repelled an elder, yet Ling Xiao’s expression remained grim.
“Sikong Zun! As the Heavenly King Sect’s leader, stop hiding like a coward. What does your sect want? Do you dare defy the Human King’s will?”
He roared toward the Heavenly King Sect.
Sikong Zun wanted to stay out of it?
No chance!
Even if I escape, I’ll drag your fox tail out, old man!
“Heh, young brother, no need to be angry. The Holy Son was indeed poisoned, and you’re the prime suspect. You must face the Holy Dynasty’s investigation. This isn’t just my decision.”
Sikong Zun, the hypocrite, spoke far more insidiously than Sikong Xuan, “Rest assured, even in the dungeon, we’ll treat you well. You won’t suffer.”
“Bullshit! Why don’t you spend a few days in the dungeon?”
Ling Xiao gave Sikong Zun no face.
At this point, grovelling was useless. They were set on dealing with him, no matter his attitude.
“Insolent! How dare you speak to the sect leader like that?”
The enforcement elder’s face changed, shouting loudly.
“I’m talking to a turtle’s bastard!”
As Ling Xiao spoke, he lunged forward, attacking the elder with a purple lightning sword in hand.
“Hmph, you pushed me back earlier because I underestimated you. With your strength, you’re no match for me!”
The elder snorted, fully prepared to defend but not attack.
He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous.
But to his shock, when Ling Xiao was less than a meter away, he suddenly veered, charging toward the Nine Cauldrons Illusion.
Sikong Xuan, caught off guard, thought Ling Xiao would fight the elder head-on. He watched as Ling Xiao slipped past, too late to grab him.
But someone couldn’t hold back!
A terrifying aura, enough to suffocate Ling Xiao, blocked his path.
Ling Xiao hastily retreated, flashing back over a hundred meters.
In that instant, he only wanted distance from this figure.
“Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor!”
Many cried out in shock.
To deal with Ling Xiao, even the Holy Emperor, a Yin-Yang Realm expert, acted personally.
Wasn’t that overkill?
The Holy Emperor’s attack failed because someone blocked his lethal strike.
“Looks like you’re tired of being Holy Emperor!”
A cold voice echoed through the sky, a terrifying, chilling aura enveloping the arena.
Amid the ruins, a fairy-like woman stood in midair, almost unreal.
The Holy Emperor’s face flushed red.
Today, his dignity was utterly trampled. Not only did Ling Xiao defy him, but Moon Lady blocked him, denying him even a chance to discipline Ling Xiao.
Slap!
A resounding slap echoed through the cosmos.
Moon Lady’s fair hand struck the lofty Holy Emperor’s face.
Hiss!
The crowd gasped.
On the Heavenly Dragon Continent, someone dared slap the Holy Emperor?
Even the previous Holy Emperor wouldn’t dare!
“You! You dare strike me!”
The Holy Emperor was stunned. Moon Lady’s interference was humiliating enough, but this slap left him dumbfounded.
Slap!
Another crisp slap, without hesitation.
“Who is this woman? So fierce!”
“She must be Moon Lady of the Moonlight Sect. Rumoured to be a top Yin-Yang Realm expert. Seeing her today, it’s no lie!”
“Such strength, daring to slap the Holy Emperor. Incredible!”
Some experts in the crowd gloated.
The Holy Emperor always acted superior, untouchable. Many resented him but dared not act.
Today, a fierce heroine slapped him twice.
“Moon Lady, aren’t you going too far? Our ancestors were vassals of the Human King. By striking his descendant, don’t you think you’re out of line?”
Sikong Zun stood from the VIP seats, frowning.
“The Human King’s will is for Ling Xiao to enter the Nine Cauldrons Illusion, yet this unworthy descendant tries to kill him. He disregards the Human King, and you ask me to spare him for the Human King’s sake?”
Moon Lady replied coldly.
“If Your Highness won’t show mercy, I’ll have to spar with you!”
Sikong Zun’s face darkened. It had been a long time since someone disrespected him so.
“Fight if you want. Less talk. Anyone who harms Ling Xiao will be killed without mercy!”
