Chapter 1455: Chapter 1458: Slapping the Old Geezers’ Faces
The Raven Queen was very satisfied with Ling Xiao’s demeanor, because Ling Xiao running away indicated that he truly was afraid, that he truly did not dare to face off against the Sixth Evil Star.
"Don’t speak too soon; underestimating him could lead to getting slapped in the face."
Jackson Le Grandmaster chuckled as he spoke.
Although he didn’t know why Ling Xiao acted this way, during the times in Crime City, every move Ling Xiao made always left him utterly astonished.
He believed that this time would certainly surprise him too, while frightening others.
Just as his voice faded.
Ling Xiao and his companions, who were charging ahead, suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Including the Sixth Evil Star, who also vanished simultaneously.
"What’s happening?"
Ji Ruolong’s face darkened, completely unprepared for such an outcome.
Someone immediately went to investigate, and after a while, returned to report: "Reporting to the Island Master, there’s bad news. Someone has used our array formation, setting up a new teleportation array. After they teleported, the array became invalid."
"How could this happen!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Could it be that Ling Xiao really had allies?
Why hadn’t they discovered it all along?
"Hahaha, wasn’t I right? You all underestimate Ling Xiao, and you’ll get slapped in the face. I heard that Ling Xiao was already skilled with various array formations back in the Moon Hua Sect. Trying to trap him with an array is truly laughable."
Jackson Le Grandmaster laughed triumphantly.
Ji Ruolong, the Raven Queen, and Zongyu Jingjue all had somber expressions.
Even though they wanted to retort, they couldn’t find any reason to.
Indeed, they were played by Ling Xiao.
Especially Ji Ruolong, who not only lost troops but also lost face.
"Do we know where they went?"
Ji Ruolong asked.
"Based on the direction of the teleportation array, it should be deep in the jungle, the dwelling place of that creature."
The person hurriedly reported.
"What!"
Ji Ruolong gasped.
The Ji Clan had attempted several times to claim this Primitive Jungle as a training ground for their disciples.
However, every time they reached the depths, they were driven out.
And they suffered heavy losses.
Even with the involvement of Yin-Yang Realm experts, it didn’t help.
Within lived a terrifying creature, one that absolutely must not be provoked.
Clearly, the other Yin-Yang Realm experts were also aware of this, so their expressions were somewhat complicated.
Ling Xiao, hiding in the Primitive Jungle, probably wouldn’t be in danger unless he provoked that creature. Meanwhile, they couldn’t enter, because if a fight broke out inside, it would be catastrophic.
"Your Majesty the Queen, are we not going to pursue?"
A martial artist from the Black Crow Empire asked.
"No need, didn’t the Sixth Evil Star follow him in? You ought to know her strength; just wait, that Ling Xiao will emerge as nothing but a corpse brought by her."
The Raven Queen shook her head as she replied.
The Sixth Evil Star, being from the Soul Clan, excelled in soul martial arts, and could kill silently during a fight, so the chances of alarming that terrifying presence were low.
At this moment, the Raven Queen wasn’t concerned about whether the Sixth Evil Star could kill Ling Xiao, but rather that the only worry was if the Sixth Evil Star angered the jungle’s dominant creature.
"Haha, since Ling Xiao fled into the Primitive Jungle and the Black Crow Empire’s Sixth Evil Star is pursuing him, we can’t just stay here doing nothing, right? So many people have gathered; shouldn’t we discuss the matters about the Ancient Heavenly Demon and Ancient Golden Crow?"
Zongyu Jingjue suddenly smiled and said.
Compared to killing Ling Xiao, it’s clear she was more interested in this topic.
Ji Ruolong frowned: "The people from Blackwater Immortal Island haven’t arrived yet, so what’s the hurry?"
Among those present, only he knew that the Ancient Heavenly Demon and Ancient Golden Crow might have been taken by Ling Xiao through some means.
But he didn’t want to reveal it, because if he did, many would compete with him for it.
Later, when the Sixth Evil Star killed Ling Xiao and brought out the body, he planned to find a way to claim it.
"Then let’s wait a bit longer."
Zongyu Jingjue frowned slightly, not wanting to push the matter, because after all, this was the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island, Ji Clan’s turf. If pushed too hard, and they retaliate, no one would come out unscathed.
Ji Mengmeng gazed at the dark opening of the jungle, her heart filled with worry.
Could Ling Xiao withstand the Sixth Evil Star?
That girl was so beautiful yet so powerful. Why am I so useless?
Since her birth, Ji Mengmeng had always been protected by her brother, rarely considering cultivation.
But at this moment, she had an epiphany, realizing the reality that without power, she had nothing.
She vowed that upon returning, she would train desperately to protect herself, her brother, and to rescue those she wished to save.
By this time, Ling Xiao and his companions had already reached the depths of the Primitive Jungle.
"Run for your lives as you see fit, remember, this jungle has a mighty beast; do not provoke it."
Ling Xiao said to the martial artists who followed him.
"And what about you, Young Master Ling?"
"I must stay and eliminate the Sixth Evil Star, otherwise there will be no peace."
Ling Xiao watched as the silhouette of the Sixth Evil Star gracefully approached.
"We owe you a great debt, no thanks needed. Once we leave here, we will head to the Heavenly Dragon Continent, join the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, farewell!"
These martial artists, originally without sect or affiliation, were wanderers. Today Ling Xiao saved them, and they were moved by Ling Xiao’s demeanor, deciding to join the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.
Even if they seemed powerless before those big forces’ experts.
Among the three hundred or so people, there were quite a few Cave Heaven Realm martial artists, as well as a group of Heavenly Man Realm martial artists.
The Volcano Duo, when they reach the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, would definitely be considered pillars of support.
After all, the foundation of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire was too weak, and cultivating martial artists anew would take too long. With these individuals joining, they would naturally become strong quickly, helping solidify the Heavenly Dynasty’s control over the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
"Farewell!"
Ling Xiao didn’t argue, nor was there any reason to.
On the Heavenly Dragon Continent, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire not only had to constantly face the Sea Race’s counterattacks, but also had to deal with the sects and forces that disobeyed the Empire, trying to overthrow it.
Having these experts as help was undoubtedly excellent.
As everyone left, the Sixth Evil Star did not hinder them.
Her target was only one: Ling Xiao.
"Do you think you can escape?"
The Sixth Evil Star said coolly.
"I’ve already escaped."
Ling Xiao replied unruffled.
"Escaped?"
"Indeed, my escape was merely to avoid those Yin-Yang Realm martial artists. Do you think I’m afraid of you?"
Ling Xiao chuckled.
"You really are infuriating, fighting in the jungle where beasts are plentiful. I can control them at will; can you truly withstand my Soul Secret Technique?"
The Sixth Evil Star eyed Ling Xiao contemptuously, his words always capable of stifling people to death.
It made people extremely angry; she wished she could rip his mouth so he couldn’t utter another word.
"You can try if you’d like."
Ling Xiao smiled; from facing the Sixth Evil Star until now, fear never once appeared in his eyes.
