Steward Jia nodded and indifferently said, "I know. It's fine as long as you didn't say anything."
As long as Jia Tianfeng did not say anything, he had not done anything wrong. After all, this was the successor of their Righteous Alliance, and he needed to be protected.
"Uncle Jia, Ling Xiao is already a second Grotto Heaven realm martial artist, but just now, he was able to kill Ling Yue's Five Dogs and several assassins from the Five Poisons Hall's Divine Phoenix branch in one strike.
Don't underestimate him, "Jia Tianfeng warned.
"I saw it."
Steward Jia indifferently said, apparently unconcerned about this matter.
This was because he could have killed that assassin from the Five Poisons Hall in one strike, and he would have done it even more cleanly than Ling Xiao.
To his left and right stood a pair of jade-green beauties.
They seemed to be twins, and they were both at the third Grotto Heaven realm.
Behind him, there were seven Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artists.
Some people were confused. Even second Grotto Heaven realm martial artists like Ling Yue's Five Dogs were no match for Ling Xiao, so what was the use of seven first Grotto Heaven realm martial artists?
But those who often visited Ling Yue's courtyard were alarmed. "Look carefully! Those seven aren't people, but Barbarian Elephant Warriors from the elephant race!"
"Could it be them?"
"Right, there's no mistake. These seven fellows are the seven sparring partners that have been following Steward Jia around. They're slaves that the Righteous Alliance purchased from the Celestial Dragon Continent. Although they're first Grotto Heaven realm martial artists, they're born with divine strength and tough skin. Ordinary martial artists would probably need to reach the third Grotto Heaven realm to kill them."
"Now that you mention it, I also remember that Manager Jia practiced his moves on them."
"Barbarian Elephant Warriors find cultivation extremely difficult, so the heavens have bestowed upon them powerful innate abilities. A first Grotto Heaven realm Barbarian Elephant Warrior can spar with an ordinary third Grotto Heaven realm martial artist, let alone seven of them."
"They should be stronger than Ling Yue's Five Dogs, right?"
"Isn't that obvious? Barbarian Elephant Warriors have formidable defenses, terrifying self-healing abilities, and boundless strength. If Ling Xiao really fought them, he would have no advantage."
In fact, Ling Xiao didn't know what a barbarian elephant warrior was, but he still had some understanding of the elephant race.
In the northern part of the Sky Dragon Continent, there was a Barbarian Elephant Tribe. Although there were not many of them, they were extremely powerful.
It was said that when the True Devil Empire wanted to capture this tribe, they also lost many powerful elite warriors.
The Righteous Alliance was truly resourceful. It had even managed to obtain such a fierce warrior.
Everyone felt that Ling Xiao was in trouble this time, but with Cold Plum around, there was no need to be afraid.
They looked at Cold Plum, who was standing at the periphery, but found that Cold Plum was nowhere to be seen.
Only Ling Xiao knew where Cold Plum had gone.
That scoundrel Kongming had actually managed to find reinforcements from the Peacock Race. Even more troublesome was that this reinforcements had the strength of a ninth Grotto Heaven realm expert. This was an elder of the Peacock Race, an absolute expert.
Cold Plum was keenly aware that Ling Xiao was no match for this sort of person, so she had stopped him.
It was over. Without Cold Plum here, Ling Xiao was doomed.
How could Ling Xiao escape in this situation?
The situation had been completely reversed in an instant.
The crowd was also rather surprised.
If Cold Plum was here, Ling Xiao would still be fine, but without Cold Plum, could Ling Xiao really be a match for Steward Jia, the Jade Sword Sisters, and the Seven Barbarian Elephants?
"You think that you'll be saved just because they're here?"
Ling Xiao had completely lost his patience. He coldly stared at Jia Tianfeng. Although he didn't attack, a claw made of interwoven shadows had gripped Jia Tianfeng's neck.
"And you, you managed to invite an elder of the Peacock Race to save you. Your face isn't small. Alas, by doing this, you'll not only kill yourself, you'll also kill him."
After saying this to Jia Tianfeng, Ling Xiao turned to Kongming.
Another claw made of interwoven shadows had gripped Kongming's neck.
Jia Tianfeng and Kongming were both flabbergasted.
They had never imagined that their clever actions would bring an even greater disaster upon themselves.
Steward Jia's face darkened as he froze to the spot.
He knew that if he took one more step, Jia Tianfeng would probably be killed by Ling Xiao. If that happened, Alliance Lord Jia would never let him go.
"Release him, and our Righteous Alliance will let bygones be bygones!"
Steward Jia coldly said.
"Your words don't mean a thing."
Ling Xiao didn't give Steward Jia any face. "You're just a watchdog raised by someone else. Since when did you have the right to decide the matters of the Jia Family? If you invite Old Man Jia here and let him make the decision, I might really consider it.
Of course, it's just a consideration. After all, your Jia Family has no integrity to speak of. "
"Impudent!"
Steward Jia roared.
"You're the impudent one! A mere watchdog, how dare you speak to this King like that? "
Ling Xiao also roared. "You seem to have forgotten that this King is Divine Phoenix Empire's Dragon King Tianlong! Even if you're a member of the Righteous Alliance, you're just a commoner. Who gave you the guts to speak to me like that? "
The crowd was dumbfounded by these words.
They had thought that with Steward Jia and those experts, Ling Xiao would at least try to find a way to reconcile. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.
But who would have thought that …
Not only did Ling Xiao have no intention of reconciling, he didn't give the other party any face at all. He actually intimidated the other party with his imposing manner.
This fellow was really too daring.
No wonder he was called the number one madman of the younger generation.
Steward Jia narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Dragon King Tianlong? Even if you're a true member of the Imperial Family, I'll still kill you, let alone a King with a different surname!
Now, I'll give you a chance. Release Young Master Jia. It's best if you know what's good for you. I've been the steward of Ling Yue Courtyard for more than ten years, and I've never seen anyone who dares to kill a member of our Righteous Alliance here! "
The smiling face with narrowed eyes was like a smiling wolf that could swallow the enemy at any time.
Many people could feel the chill and terror behind these words.
But Ling Xiao's expression was indifferent.
He slowly turned around and sat on a chair in the pavilion. Then, he casually picked up a peanut and ate it.
After swallowing it, he smiled. "Today, I'll let you see how a member of the Jia Family dies in Ling Yue Courtyard.
You're lucky to be able to see it with your own eyes! "
"Arrogant enough! But do you really plan to do this? If you release Young Master Jia, it's good for you, it's good for us. But if you don't release him, and he loses a single hair, I'll tear you to shreds. Not only that, your friends and family will also die because of you! "
Steward Jia still had a smile on his face, but this smile was fake, like a smiling tiger.
His voice was filled with intense dissatisfaction and brutal killing intent, as if he could strike at any time and kill Ling Xiao on the spot.
