Although Feng Qing Yan did not know why Ling Xiao had not arrived yet, seeing Feng Ming Wan Chong in such a furious state still delighted him.
He had fought with Feng Ming Wan Chong from childhood to adulthood. Seeing the other suffer a setback naturally pleased him.
The disciples of Shenhuang Academy were all unhappy inside.
They thought Ling Xiao was merely a warrior at the peak Three Talents Heaven cultivation, yet he had such airs. There were many stronger than him here. Did he really dare to stand everyone up like this?
“Young Lord, we could not have mistaken, could we? Is this Ling Xiao truly the one who caused chaos at the crystal factory?”
Beside Pixiu Island’s young lord Chu Mu, an elder asked in confusion.
“Should not be mistaken. Anyway, Weiwei knows that Ling Xiao. When Ling Xiao appears later, we will know at a glance. Right, Weiwei?”
Chu Mu looked at the woman on the other side. It was surprisingly Cai Weiwei, who had once paired with Xi Men Bo at the crystal factory.
At this moment, Cai Weiwei had a collar around her neck, with a chain attached. She was kneeling there, with Chu Mu’s foot stepping on her back.
“Yes, Young Lord!”
Cai Weiwei felt endless grief inside. She even wanted to die.
Originally, during the crystal factory riot, she could have escaped in the chaos, but because she was recognised as the one who informed the administrators, the slaves chased her everywhere, making her miss the best escape time.
In the end, she was found by this Chu Mu.
She thought her luck had come, thought Chu Mu would fancy her and give her happiness.
But what Chu Mu did was even more beastly than Xi Men Bo.
He actually put a collar on her, treating her as a bitch he could abuse at will.
She dared not resist.
Once she resisted, Chu Mu would beat her half to death, leaving her covered in wounds.
Now she could only numbly await fate’s decision.
Whether to let her continue enduring pain.
Or let her use death to end the pain.
“Yes, Young Lord, I know that Ling Xiao.”
Thinking of Ling Xiao, Cai Weiwei felt mixed emotions.
If back then she had not followed Xi Men Bo to inform but joined Ling Xiao and others in rebellion, perhaps she would have returned to her sect by now.
Although her sect was not prominent on Shenhuang Continent, at least she had good food and drink, carefree.
Unlike now, truly worse than pigs and dogs.
“If he is really Ling Xiao, I will arrange for the Peacock Phoenix Child to kill him!”
Chu Mu sneered coldly. “That lad killed two from the Peacock Clan. Though neither were notable figures, the Peacock Clan is nobility, they care about face. They absolutely will not let it go. We just need to stir a bit from the middle.”
He had no intention of acting himself.
After all, he was Pixiu Island’s young lord. Killing a Qingxu Academy disciple in Shenhuang Empire’s imperial city would make the matter big or small.
It might even lead to a confrontation between Pixiu Island and Shenhuang Empire’s two major powers.
“He’s here!”
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted.
Two figures came breaking through the air.
It was Ling Xiao and Leng Mei.
“Ling Xiao this lad really came after dusk. He could not have been waiting nearby from the start, could he?”
“Who cares? As long as he comes, today was not in vain!”
Ling Xiao was in black tight attire, with black long hair. His whole person looked full of mysterious aura.
When landing below the martial arena, the people surrounding naturally made way for him to ascend the martial arena.
If someone observed carefully, they would notice that when Ling Xiao landed, not a speck of dust flew up from the ground.
This was the sign of movement technique reaching the subtle realm.
Even warriors much higher in cultivation than him might not achieve movement technique to the subtle state.
Movement technique subtle allows intricate control over one’s body.
Heavy when desired, light when wished.
Heavy like a boulder landing, light like a feather drifting.
On the VIP seats, through dishevelled hair seeing that confident handsome face, Cai Weiwei almost shouted out.
Because she felt now perhaps only Ling Xiao could save her.
There was no deep enmity between her and Ling Xiao. Even if Ling Xiao disliked her, perhaps he would still help.
But she never shouted.
That was because she was afraid.
Afraid Ling Xiao would not help. Then she would surely be beaten to death by Chu Mu.
Back on the ship, she had been so disdainful of Ling Xiao.
Yet now, Ling Xiao had become her lifesaver.
What immense irony.
On the martial arena, Blood Skull suddenly opened his eyes. Terrifying death aura erupted, roaring at Ling Xiao. “Brat, you dare make me wait so long!”
Facing Blood Skull’s fierce death aura pressure, Ling Xiao ignored it completely, instead turning to Leng Mei. “You go up to the stand and sit first. This battle will end soon.”
“Damn, so arrogant, actually not taking Blood Skull seriously!”
Seeing this, the crowd could not help but sweat for Ling Xiao. This lad was truly as rumoured, arrogant and overbearing.
But from another angle, Blood Skull’s aura could not affect him. This person’s soul was probably very strong.
“Understood, Master!”
Leng Mei went up to the high stand, but noticed Ji Ming Kong and others standing there. She frowned, unsure what to do.
At this time, Ling Xiao also noticed this scene, could not help asking. “Ji Ming Kong, why are you not sitting?”
“Hmph, how could such lowly folk sit with us?”
The Peacock Clan guard snorted coldly.
“Slap!”
His words had just landed when he was directly slapped flying.
The one who acted was naturally Ling Xiao.
This guard flew dozens of metres before crashing to the ground. He looked at Ling Xiao in terror, both aggrieved and unbelieving.
Ling Xiao actually dared hit him, dared hit him before so many.
“You! You are mad!”
The Great Peng Clan guard called out trembling.
“Slap!”
Another slap, the Great Peng Clan guard was also slapped flying.
“I am mad? Ridiculous. Today is my duel with Blood Skull. My friends cannot sit, and are called lowly folk. You say I am mad?”
Ling Xiao was not Lan Yu Er.
He had no thought of keeping peace.
From young to old, he only understood survival of the fittest. Big fists meant living, meant face.
Whoever bullied him, he bullied back.
Tooth for tooth, eye for eye!
“Base breed! You dare hit our people?”
Peacock Phoenix Child and Heavenly Peng Phoenix Child stood up simultaneously, saying to Ling Xiao almost at the same time.
“Idiots, I even killed Ke Long and Ke Yu. What about hitting them? Also, Heavenly Peng Phoenix Child Peng Yue, you best watch your Yan Peng beside you. Do not let him be alone, or he dies!”
Ling Xiao had not forgotten Yan Peng sending people to intercept him midway.
If not for joining with Qin Huo back then, he would probably be dead.
Such enmity was no joke.
“You two Phoenix Children, give me face. Today is the duel between him and me. After the duel ends, then settle matters between you, how about it?”
At this time, Blood Skull spoke.
