The crowd fell silent.
Although Ling Xiao's words were unpleasant, they were not unreasonable. They were not willing to stand up for themselves and only wanted others to stand up for them. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
"Ling Xiao, you'd better not go too far. That's right, I'm not your match, but my father is much stronger than you. If you know what's good for you, just treat today's matter as a misunderstanding. In the future, we'll mind our own business. You can enter and exit Turtle Island freely. How about it?"
Ming Liu gradually recovered from his panic. He was not stupid. He knew that he was not Ling Xiao's match, and the other party was the City Lord of the East County personally sent by the imperial court. If he wanted to kill him, there would be no problem at all.
Therefore, instead of forcefully resisting, it was better to take a step back.
He believed that his concession could make Ling Xiao give up on humiliating him. After all, he felt that Ling Xiao would not insist on going against his father.
When he returned, he would complain about this brat and secretly kill him. In the future, who would dare to come to the East County to go against them?
"Slap!"
Ling Xiao did not say anything, but he gave Ming Liu a resounding slap.
"Young Marquis, do you know who you are talking to? I, Ling Xiao, the Lord of the East County, Dragon King Tian! Not to mention Turtle Island, even your home is in my territory. You want me to enter and leave Turtle Island freely? Do I need your permission for my own things? "
"Ling Xiao, don't go too far!"
Ming Liu was too shocked. This boy in front of him was extremely daring. Was he using a chicken feather as a token of authority? He really wanted to take Turtle Island from their hands?
"Too far? You haven't seen what's even worse! "
Ling Xiao sneered and said, "This king seems to remember that you just asked me to kneel down and lick your shoes clean. How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you kneel down and lick my shoes clean, I won't kill you and let you get lost. How about that?"
Although Ling Xiao said this with a smile on his face, in Ming Liu's ears, it was eerie and terrifying.
Should he do it or not?
"I don't believe you dare to kill me!"
Ming Liu said through gritted teeth.
But just as he finished speaking, one of his arms was already gone.
"I don't know how many innocent girls you've harmed with this arm of yours. I believe no one will object if you chop it off. So, are you going to do it or not?"
Ling Xiao's face turned gloomy, and his voice was as cold as a sharp blade.
No one dared to breathe loudly.
He had long heard of this young hero's decisiveness and experience. Moreover, he was never sloppy. No matter who the other party was, he dared to be ruthless.
Looking at it today, it was indeed so.
"I'll do it!"
Ming Liu looked at his arm in horror. Waves of pain came from his arm, and he could hear himself squealing like a pig being slaughtered.
Reason told him that the person in front of him was simply a lunatic. If he didn't do as he was told, he would really be killed.
"Very well, let's begin."
Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Ming Liu endured the humiliation and lay on the ground, licking Ling Xiao's shoes clean.
During this process, many of the surrounding martial artists cheered out loud. After all, the things that Ming Liu had done in the past couldn't be considered excessive even if he was cut into a thousand pieces. Just helping the new City Lord clean his shoes was already far too easy.
However, they were also a little worried at the same time.
If Ling Xiao and the East County Marquis had a head-on conflict, would the East County start a war? At that time, would they not even be able to be servants?
"Your dignity? Where's your pride? I'm just a lowly person, and you're kneeling in front of a lowly person and doing such a disgraceful thing. Who do you think you are? "
Ling Xiao looked coldly at Ming Liu, who was kneeling there, and his cold voice was filled with sarcasm.
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
That's right. Ming Liu was so arrogant and proud before. He said that Ling Xiao was useless and even tried to compare himself with Ling Xiao.
In the end?
Such a self-righteous person had now abandoned all his self-esteem and knelt in front of Ling Xiao like a servant.
This was a warrior with the cultivation of the Eight Desolate Heaven. In front of Ling Xiao, he was like a grandson.
This Ling Xiao was really arrogant and strong enough!
Ming Liu had been telling himself in his heart that after this matter was over, he would definitely make Ling Xiao pay back a hundred or a thousand times. He wanted Ling Xiao to kneel in front of him like a dog, just like he was today.
No, it was even worse than this.
"I know what you're thinking. Are you thinking of taking revenge on me when you go back? Okay, it doesn't matter. You can get lost now. When you go back, tell your father that if you behave yourself in the future, we can stay out of each other's business. If he really wants to make trouble for me, then just come. I'll wait for him."
Ling Xiao stepped on Ming Liu's head and said coldly, "I heard that you have a few sworn brothers who are pirates nearby. By the way, tell them to wash their necks and wait. With me, Ling Xiao, in the East County, they won't have a good life."
"Get lost!"
At the same time, Ming Liu was kicked away. Immediately, a few people hurriedly came forward and carried him away.
Naturally, he let Ming Liu go on purpose.
Ming Liu alone was not a threat to him at all. Since he came to the East County, he had to use a strong drug. The East County Marquis and those pirates had to be eliminated. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to be spied on by poisonous snakes when he was lying down.
Turning around, Ling Xiao looked at the middle-aged woman.
At this time, the middle-aged woman had been grabbed by the onlookers. Her body was trembling like a sieve.
"You don't have to be so afraid. I'm really not interested in dealing with you. I just want to give you a piece of advice. As a martial artist, you have to know how to love yourself! What's more, you have a man and a child! "
After saying this coldly, Ling Xiao no longer paid any attention to this person.
At this time, Meng Tong led a group of people to Turtle Island.
"Meng Tong, replace the people from the East County Marquis' Mansion who were originally guarding Turtle Island. Remember, if they want to get lost, you don't have to do anything. If anyone dares to resist, kill them!"
Ling Xiao looked at Meng Tong and ordered.
"Yes, Sir."
Meng Tong received the order and led hundreds of Northern Desert soldiers to replace the people from the East County Marquis' Mansion.
Those people were also intimidated by Ling Xiao's domineering aura. No one dared to resist and got lost obediently.
"Everyone, listen up. From today onwards, the cost of entering Turtle Island and cultivating on Turtle Island will be reduced by half. Everyone must be treated equally. It doesn't matter if you are a human, the Divine Phoenix Clan, or the Sea Clan! Those who are already cultivating on the island will not be counted. After all, the cost will not be collected by us. "
He did not intend to make it free. After all, Turtle Island was only so big. If it was free, it might cause the primordial energy of the universe on Turtle Island to quickly dissipate. The gains would not make up for the losses.
What's more, there was no problem with Turtle Island charging fees. It was just that the East County Marquis was using public resources for private purposes and charged too much.
