Of course, Ling Xiao was aware of the enemy's secret plans.
He also knew the consequences of killing Ji Mingxing and completely offending Feng Ming Wuliang.
But so what?
Would he not avenge his friend because he was afraid?
Of course not!
Ling Xiao had always been someone who did things based on his conscience.
If he did not avenge his friend who was crippled, then he would be worse than a dog. If he was in trouble in the future, who would be willing to shed blood for him?
If he was in trouble because of this and someone wanted to kill him, then they could come.
When had he, Ling Xiao, ever been afraid of being killed for revenge?
He would kill whoever came!
He would kill whoever came!
His sword loved to drink the blood of his enemies!
Even if he were to die because of this, he would not regret it. Saying that he would sacrifice himself for his friends was not just empty words. It was something that he would truly do.
Why was the Moon Maiden willing to follow him?
Why was Cold Plum so loyal to him?
Why were there so many heroes willing to support the Heavenly Empire for him?
Why were there so many friends willing to go crazy with him?
It was because he was a good friend!
His loyalty wasn't something that he spoke of, but something that he would truly do.
What kind of person would get what kind of friends.
Peng Yue, Jia Tianfeng, Kong Ming, and those who thought they were smart chose to ignore their friends in order to protect themselves. Naturally, the friends they got were equally heartless and disloyal.
And what Ling Xiao got were Cold Plum, Long Chen, Ji Ning, Wu Xiang, and so on.
Therefore, although everything he had done before was crazy, he had done it openly and without any regrets or resentment!
At this moment, he had already brought Feng Ming Lian, Cold Plum, and Long Chen back to Qingxu College.
In the distance, the battle between the Moon Maiden and the Divine Phoenix Patriarch had also ended.
The Moon Maiden returned safely without any injuries. It seemed that the Moon Stone that Ling Xiao obtained in the City of Sin had greatly improved her cultivation.
He did not ask about the Divine Phoenix Patriarch's situation. He only wanted the Moon Maiden to be safe.
Qingxu College was now deserted.
If it weren't for the support of the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company, it would have collapsed long ago.
It was not that they did not manage well, but it was because of the Divine Phoenix Empire's oppression.
Almost all of the good students were forcefully taken away by the Phoenix Academy.
This caused the academy to be filled with grief, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Half a year ago, when Qingxu College was still flourishing, a young man came here and asked to join the school.
However, a month later, he switched to the Phoenix Academy.
His name was Shangguan Hong.
It was a man, a young man who was only 18 years old.
At that time, his cultivation was already at the half-step Grotto-Heaven realm.
Now that half a year had passed, he wondered how his cultivation had improved.
However, this person's departure definitely caused the morale of Qingxu College to drop for a long time.
Ling Xiao's return finally made the academy lively again.
Those who were able to stay here were those who were truly willing to stay.
They were full of respect and yearning for this genius student of Qingxu College.
Ling Xiao had publicly stated more than once that since he had entered Qingxu College, he was a student of Qingxu College.
If the academy was in trouble, he would definitely help.
Therefore, the students here were also proud of him. When the Phoenix Academy provoked them in the Heaven Essence Treasure Pagoda, they would retaliate with Ling Xiao's name.
The people of Phoenix Academy would definitely be embarrassed.
This was because until now, there was not a single student of the Phoenix Academy who could defeat Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was the nightmare of the Phoenix Academy.
The moment Ling Xiao stepped into the academy, he felt as if he had returned home.
"It's Senior Brother Ling!"
"Junior Brother Ling is back, this is great!"
"Yes, our academy has not been so proud for a long time. Junior Brother Ling has just returned and he has already defeated the celebrity Huangzi and the Heavenly Roc Huangzi. Well done!"
Regardless of whether they were new students of Qingxu College or students who had been cultivating in Qingxu College for a long time.
They were all filled with anticipation and excitement for Ling Xiao's reappearance.
By the time Ling Xiao returned to the Qingxu Academy, news of what he had done at Ji Xingxing's wedding had already spread throughout the imperial capital.
The storyteller's mouth vividly described this part of the story.
Many people whispered to themselves, "Ling Xiao is back. What kind of storm is that fearless kid going to stir up in the Imperial Capital?"
There was another interesting incident.
Feng Mingxiao had also returned from the White Tiger Mainland. He had brought back the King of Medicine, Sun Sa, and his disciple, Ji Luoyu.
In the bazaar, Feng Mingxiao had actually tried to kill a storyteller who was "shooting his mouth off" in a fit of anger.
However, what was surprising was that under the attack of Feng Mingxiao, who was at the third level of the Yin Yang Realm, the storyteller was actually unscathed.
After that, Feng Mingxiao left without a word.
As for the storyteller, he continued to talk about his book.
When many people heard this, they were even more surprised than when they heard that Ling Xiao had killed Ji Mingxing.
Could it be that the storyteller was actually an expert?
All the major powers of the Divine Phoenix Empire were guessing, but there was only one piece of information —
The storyteller called himself "Hong Qi".
Others did not know, but if Ling Xiao knew, he would definitely be so excited that he would not be able to sleep.
Hong Qi was his grandfather's name, the name of the old beggar who had taken care of him for more than ten years.
Why did Hong Qi come to the Imperial Capital?
There was only one reason, and that was for Ling Xiao.
Now that the situation in the Imperial Capital had changed, Hong Qi, who had gradually recovered some of his cultivation, no longer had to worry about protecting himself.
Now, he could silently guard Ling Xiao's surroundings. Once Ling Xiao was in trouble, he would definitely lend a helping hand.
Unfortunately, many people did not know that Hong Qi was Ling Xiao's grandfather.
They only thought that he was an expert who had traveled here. As long as they did not provoke him, they would not be in any danger.
Currently, they were busy dealing with Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's rise was simply too fast.
Half a year ago, he was only a ninth level martial artist.
Now, he could easily kill the first Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, Heavenly Roc Huang Zi.
This could not help but make people panic.
Especially those who had always wanted Ling Xiao dead. Old and new grudges were tangled together, and anger had completely taken over their hearts.
They wanted Ling Xiao dead by hook or by crook.
Excuses?
They did not care at all.
Was there a need for excuses to kill a person?
Submit to me and prosper, oppose me and perish. This was the mantra of these people.
Ji Mingxing and Peng Yue's deaths were merely catalysts for these people's hatred.
…
Ling Xiao really did not know anything about Hong Qi's appearance.
But he was well aware of the secret schemes of those enemies.
He had done such an earth-shattering thing the moment he came to the Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital. Even he himself would not believe that no one was thinking of him.
Therefore, he definitely had to make some preparations now.
Unafraid of death was one thing.
But it did not mean that he was reckless and stupid.
Knowing that someone might plot against him, if he did not take it seriously, that would simply be an idiot.
Ling Xiao had already made full preparations for this. Even if he encountered an assassination now, he absolutely dared to guarantee that he could escape unscathed.
