Chapter 401: It’s Best to Get Rid of Evil
The woman Ling Xiao pointed to was She Mei.
Speaking of it, everything that happened today was because of this woman. This woman was not only as venomous as snakes and scorpions, but she was also very deceitful and was very good at confusing and poisoning people’s minds. If she was left alone, sooner or later, she would become a scourge. Therefore, it was better to get rid of her early.
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai stood up, then looked at She Mei with killing intent flashed through their eyes.
Although they might offend the Beast King Palace after killing She Mei, it was a matter of future. If they didn’t kill She Mei, then they would die here!
Die now!
Therefore, the choice was actually very simple. They basically had no hesitation.
“I’ll give you ten breaths of time to kill this woman. As for the Skeleton Stronghold, you have one day. If you two failed to do it, then you two can only die. I, Ling Xiao, will always do what I said!”
Ling Xiao saw that those two people still seemed to have some hesitation, therefore, he couldn’t help snorting coldly.
Immediately after he said so, those two people erupted with a strong fighting spirit, then they attacked She Mei at the same time.
For them, She Mei was just a woman, killing her was not a problem for them. At this moment, they just wanted to save their own lives.
She Mei stood up to resist. She was very unwilling to die like this.
However, both Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai were stronger than her. After exchanging three to five moves, she was already lying on the ground in despair, and looking at the blue sky, she regretted her initial actions.
Usually, she used to be very domineering, thinking that she could act wantonly with the backing of her master. However, she unexpectedly kicked an iron plate today, running into Ling Xiao.
Her tragic fate was already doomed from the moment she tried to kill Ling Xiao.
“Okay, you two can go to destroy the Skeleton Stronghold now. Don’t forget the time limit I gave!”
Ling Xiao didn’t even look at the corpse of She Mei. He just casually waved his hand, and the black flames engulfed her corpse, turning it into ashes.
Naturally, before that, he had already collected the martial souls of those three disciples of the Beast King Palace into the Landscape World. Moreover, other than the Black Panther Martial Soul, he let the Ancient Golden Dragon absorb the other two martial souls.
The Black Panther Martial Soul was useful to him for the time being. Combining it with his Cloud Dragon Divine Walk, his speed would be even faster.
It wouldn’t be too late to give it to the Ancient Golden Dragon after he got a better martial soul to replace it in the future.
“Let’s go!”
Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai hastily left the Green Valley, as if they received amnesty, intending to go and destroy the Skeleton Stronghold.
Ling Xiao hadn’t told them that he had implanted plague seeds in their bodies. If they didn’t do what Ling Xiao had said, then Ling Xiao didn’t even need to make a move by himself. As long as those plague seeds were detonated, those two would die without a doubt.
Their lives were in their own hands, and it depended on whether they would behave with integrity or not.
After Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai left, Ling Xiao walked to the manor door and stuck a Refine Array Stone above the door.
Previously, he hadn’t expected others to be so shameless.
Now, he naturally wanted to be prepared.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today, you all just happened to be here, but let me remind you all that you all can come to the Green Valley, but if anyone wants to steal the merits of my Moonlight Sect, then their ending will be the same as those three disciples of the Beast King Palace.”
Ling Xiao looked at everyone and said coldly: “Now, I have already set a formation here. If martial artists below Rank Four Transcendent Realm approach, they will definitely be poisoned to death by Plague Poison. At that time, don’t blame me for not warning you all!”
Everyone looked at Ling Xiao and their heart palpitated.
Although this person was domineering enough, he killed the disciples of the Beast King Palace as he said and also destroyed the Skeleton Stronghold as he said, no one dared to complain. Who made him so powerful?
In this Profound World, the weak had no right to speak.
For the strong, the weak existences were the stepping stones, slaves, tools to do hard labor or tools used to vent off.
With his cultivation base of just Half Great Master, Ling Xiao had easily killed the disciples of the Beast King Palace and Chief Tu, which had already displayed his absolute strength. Therefore, so what if he was wildly domineering?
Besides, he was not unreasonable. Everything he did was rational. The other people couldn’t find faults to complain about.
Speaking about it, many people were even thanking Ling Xiao in their hearts.
Among the people She Mei had killed, there were their friends or relatives.
Furthermore, even more people were killed in the Skeleton Stronghold. All disciples that came here to carry out their tasks were, more or less, exploited by the people of the Skeleton Stronghold.
And it was very unlikely for their sects to destroy the Skeleton Stronghold just for Rank One or Rank Two Transcendent Realm martial artists.
What’s more, although the Skeleton Stronghold’s Chief Tu looked coarse, he was actually very cunning. He always handed over half of the things he plundered to the major sects.
Even a mosquito is meat, therefore, the nearby sects just turned a blind eye to the actions of the Skeleton Stronghold.
In just this fashion, Ling Xiao resolved the dispute with thunderous means, and the Green Valley regained its calm. Now, he just needed to wait for the arrival of the Moonlight Sect’s people.
On the other side, Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai didn’t follow the instruction of Ling Xiao. They even tried to persuade their friends to join forces to kill Ling Xiao.
However, after they gathered their friends to discuss countermeasures, their bodies suddenly exploded, and plague poison wreaked havoc in the entire venue.
There were over ten people who attended this meeting. All of them were Rank Two to Rank Three Transcendent Realm martial artists. However, all of them died.
These people lost their lives before knowing what kind of person they wanted to kill.
“Humph, those two truly weren’t good things. People who can easily kill others for their own lives can easily betray anyone.”
Ling Xiao snorted coldly and returned from the Skeleton Stronghold.
In just an hour, he returned from the Skeleton Stronghold.
At this moment, the Skeleton Stronghold was already engulfed in a sea of fire. Other than the freed captured slaves and women, all other bandits in the Skeleton Stronghold were killed, leaving no survivors.
In addition, all the wealth that Skeleton Stronghold had accumulated over the years fell into Ling Xiao’s hands.
Skeleton Stronghold was truly rich. There were over 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. Unfortunately, there were no mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones.
In addition, there was a large amount of gold and silver.
What made Ling Xiao happy was, he got five rare-grade treasured artifacts from the Skeleton Stronghold.
With the addition of rare-grade treasured artifacts he got from Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui, Plague Demon King, She Mei and Chief Tu, he got ten rare-grade treasured artifacts this time.
Naturally, the golden brick was also included.
It was a pity that the best artifacts in the hands of Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai were just excellent-grade treasured artifacts, which didn’t enter his eyes. Therefore, he decided to deliver them to the Divine Sword Sect.
As for the martial souls of these people, not a single one entered his eyes, so, all of them were handed over to the Ancient Golden Dragon to enjoy.
The stronger this Ancient Golden Dragon was, the stronger his soul. Moreover, the stronger his combat power in Half Dragon Form and Ancient Golden Dragon Form.
The martial souls weren’t wasted.
In addition, this could continuously improve his hidden combat power, which would become a nightmare for those who try to deal with him without knowing anything about him.
