Ling Xiao was very satisfied with the assassins from the Heavenly Dragon Auction House.
The Heavenly Dragon Auction House was also very satisfied with his Sky-Breaking Pill. It was a win-win situation.
While walking on the streets, he noticed a strange phenomenon. There were very few disciples from the Phoenix Academy.
Even when walking on the streets, they were trembling with fear. They would hide from him or the disciples from Qingxu College.
Their usual arrogance was completely gone.
The matter was not over yet.
The Phoenix Academy was still putting up a final resistance.
The Emperor ordered them to investigate the murderer of Sun Shang and Feng Ming Wanchong. They even went to Qingxu College to investigate.
However, after seven days of investigation, they did not find anything.
It would be strange if they found anything. After all, no one would have expected that the one who seriously injured Sun Shang and Feng Ming Wanchong was Ling Xiao.
Although the people from Phoenix Academy hated Ling Xiao, they could not link him to the murderer.
As for the other people from Phoenix Academy, they did not know about this at all.
Ling Xiao did not have time to tell them.
After the investigation, the Emperor was in trouble.
The Fire Phoenix Tribe brought up the impeachment case. They claimed that the Emperor believed the Phoenix Academy's one-sided accusation without any evidence. This caused serious damage to Qingxu College's reputation.
Although it sounded easy, it was a very serious problem for the Emperor, who was about to step down.
There were many discussions on the streets.
The Ice Phoenix Tribe's popularity reached a freezing point.
If this continued, the Fiery Phoenix Tribe would definitely win the election next year.
In order to appease the anger of the Fire Phoenix Tribe and solve this problem, the Emperor had no choice but to apologize to the Clear Void Academy in front of everyone in the Imperial City. He also ordered the Divine Phoenix Academy to compensate the Clear Void Academy with 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
The Fire Phoenix Tribe did not continue to pursue the matter. They knew that if they continued to pursue the matter after the Emperor apologized, they would only waste the points they had accumulated.
The situation was just right.
Qingxu College had forced a Monarch to apologize. This kind of glory was probably unparalleled in the Divine Phoenix Continent.
Moreover, even though the Emperor had apologized, it still caused dissatisfaction among many people.
The magnanimity of the Fiery Phoenix Tribe won many favorable impressions.
Deep in the palace, the Emperor even threw an inkstone at the Grand Tutor's face and scolded, "From now on, the Phoenix Academy's mess should be cleaned up by yourselves. Don't come looking for me. You're all a bunch of trash. You can't accomplish anything, but you're good at ruining things!"
The Righteous Alliance could see where the wind was blowing, and upon discovering this situation, it was unwilling to get involved in this rotten matter.
Without the support of the Sovereign Emperor and the Righteous Alliance, the Phoenix Academy was finally forced to withdraw from the pill market. In the end, they were forced to sell the market to Qingxu College and the Celestial Dragon Auction House at a low price.
The higher-ups of the Phoenix Academy were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
She was determined to take revenge on Qingxu College in other ways.
But now, they had to tuck their tails between their legs.
Thus, the pill war that had lasted nearly two months ended with Qingxu College's complete victory.
From losing so much that they were on the verge of bankruptcy to winning so much in the end, it was all because Ling Xiao had come out of seclusion.
Now, almost everyone knew that Ling Xiao had a pill refinement expert who surpassed Heavenly Sovereign Miraculous Hands behind him.
Naturally, the Ice Phoenix Tribe also wanted to win over Ling Xiao instead of targeting him.
Even Emperor Divine Phoenix, who had always been high and mighty, knew of Ling Xiao's great name.
Ling Xiao didn't feel much about this.
In fact, after severely injuring Phoenix Cry Wanchong, he had gone into seclusion in the Heavenly Essence Treasure Pagoda.
No matter how famous he was or how much of a ruckus he caused, he was well aware of his own situation. His cultivation was too low, and he couldn't afford to let his guard down.
On this day, Ling Xiao came out of seclusion once more.
The most discussed topic in the outside world was no longer the battle between Phoenix Academy and Qingxu College, but something else.
It was said that the Black Crow Empire had provoked another war at the border, and the Divine Phoenix Emperor was going to select several young disciples from the two academies to assist in the war and train them at the same time.
Only on the battlefield could a true martial artist be honed.
Martial artists who only knew how to cultivate were ultimately far behind others in terms of combat power.
Many young people were rubbing their hands and preparing to show off their skills.
After all, if they had military merits, not only would they be able to obtain a high position, but they would also be able to obtain better martial arts, resources, and Dharma treasures.
Why were they called the Ten Great Phoenixes?
It was because they had withstood the test of the battlefield. They were all people who had military merits, so they were the focus of the empire's cultivation.
Of course, in addition to those rewards, many people also hoped to attract the attention of the Five Immortals Island.
If they could successfully join the Five Immortals Island, it would be an excellent opportunity for these young people to make a great leap.
Just like the martial artists of the Sky Dragon Continent in the past who joined the Twelve Sects, not only would they bring honor to their families, but they would also have a better future.
Along the way, anyone who saw Ling Xiao would either make way for him or respectfully bow to him.
Although Ling Xiao looked a little slovenly because of his close to a month of seclusion, no one dared to laugh at him.
This was the dignity that came with strength.
If you were a good-for-nothing, it would be useless even if you wore gold and silver. Others would only treat you as a good-for-nothing.
However, if you were a powerhouse, no one would dare to look down on you even if you wore tattered clothes and looked ugly. Countless beauties would even throw themselves at you.
This world was so realistic, so simple and direct.
If you had strength, you would be respected.
If you did not have strength, you would only be bullied.
Below the Heaven Essence Pagoda, there was a very luxurious palanquin. The people carrying the palanquin were all Celestial Realm martial artists.
Standing beside the palanquin was none other than the Fire Phoenix Tribe's Crown Prince, Feng Yinshan.
Seeing this person, Ling Xiao was a little surprised.
Even if he was famous enough, compared to this Crown Prince, there was still a big gap. Why would he be waiting for him here?
"Brother Ling, I have been waiting here for a long time."
He also changed the way he addressed himself from this Crown Prince to this Crown Prince. Unknowingly, he lowered himself and raised Ling Xiao.
"Your Royal Highness is waiting for me here? Hehe, could there be a mistake? I am just a small disciple of Qingxu College. How would I dare to trouble you? "
Perhaps it was because of what happened on the Sky Dragon Continent, but Ling Xiao was not very friendly to these imperial disciples.
"Brother Ling, you must be joking. You can refine Yellow Grade pills, and your alchemist level is not lower than Sun Shang's. Of course, you are qualified."
Feng Yinshan was not angry and kept smiling.
"Alright, there is no need for these pleasantries. Your Royal Highness, are you looking for me for something?"
Although Ling Xiao did not like the imperial disciples, there was no need to offend them. He wanted to know why the Crown Prince was looking for him.
