Chapter 1468: Chapter 1471: Escape!
Ling Xiao gained great benefits from the powerful battle intent of the Ancient Golden Crow, though he still desired to continue cultivating.
However, he now needed to prepare for his escape.
The six Yin-Yang Realm experts had already arrived, and the battle could break out at any moment. Before leaving, he had to acquire the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, a gift intended for his beloved woman.
The Gemini Martial Spirit began moving towards where Ling Xiao was hiding.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf followed closely behind, glaring at him intently, though its eyes harbored resentment and displeasure.
The dignified Ancient Ferocious Beast, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, was actually bullied by a Sea Race monster neither human nor ghost. It had endured enough grievance.
It truly wanted to let Ling Xiao go and infuriate that guy.
But unfortunately, it dared not.
Because it feared the strength of that Sea Race monster.
For an Ancient Ferocious Beast to be reduced to such a state, it was truly helpless.
If its master could treat it better, even becoming a pet wouldn’t be an issue. After all, during the Ancient Era, its ancestors had also been pets of powerful humans like the King of People.
It was not humiliation but a kind of honor because the master would treat a pet like a friend.
But what about it now?
It was worse than even a bug.
Just as it was thinking, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf suddenly sensed something wrong, feeling as if it had stepped into some kind of banishment-like entity.
It should be an array formation.
And within this array, there were actually two Ling Xiaos.
"Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you!"
Ling Xiao didn’t need to speak, communicating with the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf purely with soul power.
"Hmph, just you, there’s no way you can do anything to me!"
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf scoffed, responding with its soul.
"Oh, is that so?"
Ling Xiao and the Gemini Martial Spirit simultaneously activated the Three-leaf Demon Pupil, enhancing the soul-capturing power on the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.
Originally, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf found it hard to resist soul attacks.
And now Ling Xiao, with his greatly improved cultivation level, along with the dual intimidation of the Gemini Martial Spirit.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf felt, for an instant, as though it had become an imprisoned puppet, powerless as to what others could do to it.
It attempted to struggle but found itself unable to mobilize its inner strength.
Ling Xiao chuckled slightly; all of this was within his plan.
Facing the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf head-on with his current strength wasn’t enough unless he broke through to the Fifth Cave Heaven Realm.
Thus, he chose this sudden approach, attacking from multiple sides while setting up an array in the concealment formation to enhance his soul-capturing ability.
Under the combined forces, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf was as good as making a wrong move, leading to a total collapse.
The Three-leaf Demon Pupil emitted an eerie green light, and Ling Xiao’s voice echoed in the heart of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.
"Follow me, though you will still be a pet, I will treat you like a friend. Leave that neither-human-nor-ghost guy!"
The enticing voice nearly stripped away all of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf’s resistance, almost prompting it to nod.
Yet, after all, it was an Ancient Ferocious Beast, still putting up a fierce resistance at this stage.
"You’re worried I’m not his match and that we can’t leave here, right?"
With a faint smile, Ling Xiao waved his hand, projecting a scene into the mind of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.
It was the scene of the six Yin-Yang Realm experts entering this forest.
"Those six are all Yin-Yang Realm experts, and their powers are quite formidable. Though they may not defeat the Hundred Insect Demon King, they should be able to restrain her without issue.
This is the opportunity for both of us to escape!
Don’t attempt to kill her; that monster’s strength is too overwhelming, and we’re not there yet.
But I promise you, it won’t be long before we can trouble her again. Then, all the humiliation you’ve suffered under her will be repaid by you personally!"
Under Ling Xiao’s persuasion, the deep-seated hatred the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf harbored towards the Hundred Insect Demon King fully erupted.
Indeed, it never stopped yearning for the chance to kill that monster.
Perhaps because Ling Xiao had once saved its life, it had developed a slight fondness for him.
This might be the key reason why the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf was more easily swayed by Ling Xiao’s words.
Of course, Ling Xiao’s training of the Soul Fragment Scroll left him with extraordinarily powerful soul power, along with the awe and pressure inherently present in the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit.
This was the cause of the Three-leaf Demon Pupil’s soul-capturing ability reaching its full potential.
Otherwise, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf would absolutely not have been subdued so easily.
It should be said, this was a fusion of multiple factors.
Finally, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf lay prostrate at Ling Xiao’s feet, seemingly enjoying the sensation.
"Rest assured, friend, I’ll give you to my most beloved woman. You won’t be disappointed, and she has also inherited the Moonlight Power, which might help you fully unleash your potential, evolving into a Reincarnation Beast or even something more formidable."
Ling Xiao gently stroked the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf’s fur, exuding goodwill as best he could.
After all, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf was a highly intelligent beast. If treated well, it would naturally be willing to follow you.
If the Hundred Insect Demon King hadn’t been so utterly humiliating towards the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, such a loyal beast would never have been so easily tamed by Ling Xiao.
Once, the King of People also had a Silver Moon Greedy Wolf as a mount, and after the King mysteriously disappeared from the Mysterious World, that Silver Moon Greedy Wolf never betrayed its master until its death.
This is something recorded in the annals of the Sacred Dynasty, and it should be true.
Retrieving the Gemini Martial Spirit, Ling Xiao stepped out of the concealment formation, looking towards the direction where the Hundred Insect Demon King was.
Over there, the battle had already begun.
The fight between the six Yin-Yang Realm experts and the Hundred Insect Demon King was truly earth-shattering, far surpassing Ling Xiao’s earlier skirmish with the Sixth Evil Star, causing even the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf to tremble.
"Don’t be afraid, he doesn’t have the time to deal with us right now, let’s go."
Ling Xiao mounted the back of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, speaking with a smile.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf let out a low growl, moonlight glimmering as it dashed forward.
Approximately a shichen later, Ling Xiao and the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf had left the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island and reached the Stormy Ocean. Taking out the Flying Wheel Ship, he had the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf sit on it, heading towards the Phoenix God Empire.
However, the next moment, Ling Xiao suddenly became tense.
A streak of black light swiftly approached from the horizon, landing heavily on the Flying Wheel Ship.
"Escape? Do you think you can escape?"
A cold voice came from the figure. Her icy eyes were filled with power and rage.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf seemed accustomed to fearing this person, retreating several steps before crouching low on the ground.
Ling Xiao was also very tense, his gaze fixed intently on the figure before him.
The Hundred Insect Demon King had actually chased him here. Had she managed to eliminate those six Yin-Yang Realm experts?
Impossible, even if she was powerful, she couldn’t have done that.
Struggling to maintain his composure, Ling Xiao quickly regained his calm.
Facing six Yin-Yang Realm experts, there was no way the Hundred Insect Demon King could have been so at ease.
Even if she killed those six, she’d definitely sustain injuries, and the damage wouldn’t be light.
