Forcefully attacking was too risky, as Ling Xiao still did not know the true strength of the Righteous Alliance.
Moreover, if he angered the Five Immortals Island and sent experts, it would be even more troublesome.
Thus, it was best if this matter could be resolved peacefully. This was also why he had used the excuse of punishing traitors, not saving Ji Ning and overthrowing the Divine Phoenix Empire.
There was strength in numbers, and in just a few minutes, more than one hundred formations and formations had been completely destroyed.
At this time, the assassins had retreated, and Ling Xiao had slipped onto the walls.
As Ling Xiao kicked an attacking soldier off the walls, the Moon Lady, Scorpion Li, and Cold Plum began to move.
"Quick, activate the formation and attack!"
A Phoenix Cry soldier loudly roared.
But the attackers were only the archers. All the formations and formations had been rendered useless.
But these arrows were simply incapable of stopping the Moon Lady, Scorpion Li, and Cold Plum.
"What's going on?"
Jia Lin, Jia Yun, and the Phoenix Cry soldiers were all dumbfounded.
"Let me tell you what's going on."
Ling Xiao's figure appeared on top of the city gate tower. He calmly looked at Jia Lin and said, "General Jia, since you've heard that my Northern Desert City's magic formation blocked the million-strong army of the Black Raven Empire, why don't you consider whether I'm proficient in magic formations and formations?"
"Kill him!"
Jia Lin did not listen to Ling Xiao's words, nor did he analyze Ling Xiao's words. Right now, he only wanted Ling Xiao dead.
This fellow was far too frightening. How had he managed to sneak onto the walls without him noticing?
The Phoenix Cry soldier was the first to charge out.
But the moment he charged out, Ling Xiao's sword was pressed against his throat.
Today, the Phoenix Cry soldier was no longer a match for Ling Xiao.
This person was a martial artist of the Ten Directions Heaven level. In the past, he might have been able to crush Ling Xiao, but now, Ling Xiao simply did not care about Ten Directions Heaven martial artists.
"Was it you who gave the order to kill us?"
Ling Xiao asked coldly.
The Phoenix Cry Army froze.
He thought that it was because he didn't have the chance to kill Ling Xiao in the past, and that his strength was much stronger than Ling Xiao's.
However, it was only now that he realized that the strength he was so proud of was nothing in front of Ling Xiao.
He was afraid!
Because he thought of his daughter.
Back then, his daughter had humiliated Ling Xiao's people and even wanted to kill Ling Xiao. In the end, her cultivation was crippled.
Could it be that he was also going to walk that old path?
"You cannot kill me!"
The heroic spirit of the Phoenix Cry Army was completely gone. At this moment, their eyes were filled with terror.
Jia Lin also hurried forward and looked coldly at Ling Xiao.
He and Ling Xiao had only met twice. The first time was in Northern Desert City, where he had blocked the Northern Desert Army from entering the city.
At that time, Ling Xiao had seemed naive and funny, saying that he wanted to take Tomohiko Kuma's head.
This time, it was here that he suddenly felt that he might have underestimated this guy too much.
This Ling Xiao might be much more terrifying and cunning than he had imagined.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Military Governor Ling is indeed powerful, but the Phoenix Cry Army is the Nine Gates Inspector appointed by the Emperor Lord. If you kill him, it will be the same as slapping the Emperor Lord. I think this might be a misunderstanding. Military Governor Ling has such ability, but he didn't let the people of the Black Crow Empire enter the Imperial City. He definitely isn't a traitor!"
This guy was really cunning, and because he was shameless, he could say things that others would not be able to say.
In order to save the Phoenix Cry Army, he had used both kindness and power.
Not only did he use the Emperor Lord to threaten Ling Xiao, but he also showed the intention of reconciling.
"Misunderstanding?"
Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully, "I don't think there is any misunderstanding here. I, Ling Xiao, am also a Military Governor appointed by the Emperor Lord! And I have outstanding military achievements. Today, when I returned to the Imperial City, I was attacked by a shameless person. I believe that even if I kill him, the Emperor Lord will forgive me. "
He was not afraid of angering the Emperor Lord at all.
He wanted to establish his power.
Anyway, the Emperor Lord already wanted him dead, so what was there to be afraid of?
Only by showing enough strength would the other party be afraid of him, truly afraid of him!
"Ling Xiao, you have to think clearly about the consequences once you make a move!"
Jia Lin shouted angrily.
Ling Xiao looked at him disdainfully and did not continue to talk nonsense with him. Instead, he looked at the Phoenix Cry Army and asked, "Who told you to attack me?"
"It, it was General Jia Lin!"
With the sharp sword at his throat, the Phoenix Cry Army was scared out of their wits and dragged Jia Lin into the water.
"Is he telling the truth?"
Ling Xiao looked at Jia Lin and asked.
"That's right, Ling Xiao. You led the rebel army to besiege the Imperial City. Not to mention shooting arrows, even killing you would not be a problem."
Jia Lin saw that he could not convince Ling Xiao and did not intend to convince him.
In any case, in his opinion, with his strength, killing Ling Xiao was as easy as flipping his hand.
"It's good that you admit it."
Ling Xiao smiled and sent out his sword, piercing the throat of the Phoenix Cry Army's soldier on the spot.
Facing someone who wanted to kill him, Ling Xiao would not show mercy. So what if the Phoenix Cry Army's soldier was from the Ice Phoenix Clan?
He, Ling Xiao, was not afraid!
Since he dared to return to the Imperial City today, he was naturally prepared to fight to the death.
"You! You're crazy, you really dare to kill him! "
Jia Lin was stunned for a moment and shouted.
"Doesn't he deserve to die for obstructing and killing a meritorious official? Not only is killing him not a crime, but it's also meritorious! "
Ling Xiao looked at Jia Lin disdainfully and said, "In addition, you allowed him to shoot arrows, so you also deserve to die. However, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now. Open the city gates, and I can let bygones be bygones!"
Killing the Phoenix Cry Army's soldier was easy, but killing Jia Lin was a little troublesome.
At the very least, he was definitely not Jia Lin's match and would have to trouble the Moon Maiden or Scorpion Li.
Today, his purpose of returning to the Imperial City was not to seek revenge, but to save people.
If he could save Ji Ning and the others, it was not a big deal for him to suffer some grievances.
However, Jia Lin was courting death.
"Hahahaha, let bygones be bygones? Who do you think you are? "
Jia Lin laughed out loud. "Son, haven't you always wanted to kill this kid? Today, I'll give you this opportunity. Kill him and bring his head to the Emperor to ask for a reward."
"Thank you, Father!"
Jia Yun revealed a sinister smile.
He really wanted to kill Ling Xiao even in his dreams. In the Ling Yue Courtyard, in the Imperial City Barracks, and even in the Northern Desert City, Ling Xiao had made a fool of him time and time again, causing him to be ridiculed time and time again.
In his heart, he hated Ling Xiao to the core.
Moreover, he knew in his heart that Ling Xiao was too aggressive, and the Emperor did not like him at all. If he killed Ling Xiao, the Emperor would only be happy and would not be harsh.
"You want to kill me?"
Ling Xiao was suddenly amused.
It was as if he had heard a very funny joke.
"Why, do you really think you are invincible? Do you really think those three women can charge up the city walls? "
Jia Yun looked at Ling Xiao disdainfully and said, "I don't have to do anything, and you will die without a burial ground! Men, capture this traitor! "
