Jia Tianfeng didn't know what he was worried about. Was it because he hadn't encountered someone as difficult to deal with as Ling Xiao for a long time, so he was afraid?
After he relaxed, the delicacies on the table were finally served. After Jia Tianfeng and Kongming moved, the rest of the people also began to move.
In the blink of an eye, there were already cups and plates in a mess. Everyone was satisfied.
"The delicacies of Ling Xiao's courtyard are indeed different from other places. I'm afraid a piece of trash like Ling Xiao, who was born as a beggar, wouldn't understand."
"He won't have that chance either."
Jia Tianfeng smiled coldly and saw a figure floating over from afar.
It was Feng Xidao, who had lost an arm.
"I really didn't expect that a mere Ling Xiao would make you lose an arm, even though it's a useless left arm."
Jia Tianfeng stood up and looked at Feng Xidao.
He thought that Ling Xiao was dead, but he didn't expect that Ling Xiao would be able to cut off one of Feng Xidao's arms before he died.
However, Feng Xidao only remained silent.
Because he was wearing a black mask, his expression couldn't be seen clearly. This made Jia Tianfeng even more nervous.
Suddenly, he felt that his previous worries might have come true.
"Feng Xidao, say something. Why are you pretending to be mute?" Kongming also stood up and asked.
Feng Xidao sighed softly and said, "Except for me, everyone was wiped out. Ling Xiao escaped unscathed. You guys take care of yourselves."
After saying that, he broke through the air and left. Previously, he had been staying nearby to observe the situation of the battle. He only chose to leave at the end.
Therefore, he had seen the entire process very clearly. Therefore, he was very frightened.
Ling Xiao's strength was much stronger than he had imagined.
"Everyone was wiped out? Ling Xiao escaped unscathed? "
Jia Tianfeng simply couldn't accept such an outcome.
How was this possible?
He didn't believe it!
He couldn't believe it!
However, whether he believed it or not, Feng Xidao's words couldn't be false.
Because Feng Xidao had no need to lie.
"Brother Jia, I advise you to leave the imperial capital for a while. Otherwise, it'll be dangerous."
Kongming patted Jia Tianfeng's shoulder lightly. He was actually gloating.
This time, he was smart enough not to get involved in the assassination of Ling Xiao.
Thank goodness!
"I'll take my leave first!"
He smiled, then turned and left in a hurry.
"We'll take our leave too."
The group of young people who had been drinking and chatting merrily just now left one after another.
"Pa!"
Looking at the backs of those people, the furious Jia Tianfeng flipped the table.
"I don't believe that Ling Xiao can kill me as long as I have someone protecting me."
It wasn't that he didn't want to leave the Imperial Capital to avoid Ling Xiao's revenge.
But if he left now, his status in the Righteous Alliance would plunge. He had been groomed to be the next alliance lord, but if he left, he would have no chance.
Although the Jia Clan currently had the final say in the Righteous Alliance, the other clans were not completely uninvolved.
They just let the Jia Family do whatever they wanted. But if there was a chance to seize power, no one would give it up.
Even though he was terrified, his greed still made Jia Tianfeng choose to stay.
But starting from today, he would do his best to avoid Ling Xiao.
… …
In the darkness, Ling Xiao returned to Qingxu College and began to treat his injuries.
His injuries had never been serious, but he had expended so much energy that even walking was a problem for him.
Outside the house, the Moon Lady and Leng Mei sat there. They didn't say anything and just waited quietly for Ling Xiao.
Cold Plum was extremely remorseful. Even though the Moon Maiden had consoled her many times, she still could not forgive her own negligence.
Ling Xiao had returned safely, but what if something had really happened to Ling Xiao? She would probably not be able to escape the blame.
She hated herself for not always being at Ling Xiao's side, hated herself for cultivating.
The Moon Maiden softly sighed. Not even she could persuade Cold Plum. She would probably have to wait until Ling Xiao recovered from his injuries.
But they did not know that Ling Xiao had not spent much time recovering from his injuries.
He had remained in seclusion for so long because he was struggling against that strange state.
It was like a thin film that blocked the effects of his cultivation.
Within this membrane, he was extremely powerful, equivalent to the cultivation of a first Grotto Heaven realm expert.
And he was much stronger than an ordinary first Grotto Heaven realm expert.
But Ling Xiao was not happy.
He felt that this cultivation belonged to the Human King, not him. Even though he was powerful, he felt like his body was being controlled by someone else.
This was a very bad feeling.
It was precisely because of this that he wanted to break through this membrane, and then perhaps break through in the truest sense.
He did not believe that he was weaker than the Human King when he was the same age.
Now, a large hole had been torn in that membrane, and he could sense that his cultivation was slowly rising.
The true breakthrough was about to arrive.
Moreover, he believed that once he broke through, the combat strength he would erupt with would be even more terrifying than what he had displayed in the previous battle.
This was because only with his strength could he truly mobilize all the energy in his body.
Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi constantly poured in from the torn hole. Ling Xiao was like a person who had been suffocated for a long time and could finally breathe in fresh air. He was filled with desire.
"Break!"
When the sky was about to brighten, Ling Xiao let out a roar.
The membrane that wrapped around the depths of his soul was finally completely broken, and this membrane turned into pure energy that fused into his Grotto Heaven.
"Is this the true feeling of the Grotto Heaven realm? The second Grotto Heaven realm? "
Previously, Ling Xiao had been unable to determine his true cultivation. Even though his combat strength was powerful, he was not confident.
But now, everything was different.
He could clearly sense that his cultivation had advanced to the second Grotto Heaven realm. The accumulated energy allowed him to make a breakthrough like Shangguan Hong.
The second Grotto Heaven realm!
Ling Xiao's heart was completely at ease.
It seemed that he had gained a lot from risking his life in that battle.
Not only had he broken through the membrane that wrapped around his cultivation, he had also absorbed and used it. Otherwise, Ling Xiao's cultivation would at most be at the first Grotto Heaven realm.
But now, not only had he broken through to the second Grotto Heaven realm, but he was also at the peak and could break through again at any time.
This feeling was simply too wonderful.
He slowly stepped out of the room. Moon Lady and Cold Plum, who were at the door, stood up.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come with me to the Imperial Capital Plaza. Today is the day that Shangguan Hong mentioned. We can't let him think that we're afraid."
Seeing that Ling Xiao was in a good mood, Cold Plum and Moon Lady were relieved.
After the two girls dressed up, they followed Ling Xiao to the plaza.
Although the sun had just risen, the plaza was already filled with people.
The fight for two spots among the Ten Phoenix Sons was a big event for the entire Divine Phoenix Empire, so it was naturally very lively.
