"Well said. However, you still have many opportunities to reverse Ling Yan's verdict."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice in shock.
A middle-aged man with a face full of stubble slowly walked out of the forest.
Although his appearance was ordinary, his entire body exuded a terrifying aura.
The assassins stopped what they were doing.
The assassin leader looked at Ling Xiao and frowned. "Brother, please don't meddle in the affairs of the Chen Kingdom's royal family. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret if you get into trouble."
The assassin leader sensed the powerful aura emanating from Ling Xiao, so he was unwilling to make an enemy of Ling Xiao.
"What if I insist on meddling?"
Ling Xiao walked to Chen Cangmang's side, then looked at the assassins and said coldly, "Scram, or none of you will be left alive!"
"What big words. Although you are strong, we are not afraid of you. Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then die."
The assassin leader frowned, then revealed a sinister expression. With a wave of his hand, over a hundred assassins charged at Ling Xiao.
"A bunch of idiots! Second Profound Meaning of Light – Golden Crow Ascending the Sun! "
Ling Xiao did not draw his sword. Instead, he raised his right hand. Suddenly, a blinding light appeared above his head.
This light transformed into a giant golden crow that pounced at the crowd.
For Ling Xiao, acting as another identity was very easy.
The Profound Meaning of Light and Shadow's consummate skill could finally be put to good use.
The assassins could not see anything. Before they died, the only thing they could see was the golden crow pouncing at them.
Then, a ball of fire began to burn.
The stench of charred flesh filled the air.
In one move, over a hundred assassins were basically wiped out.
Only the assassin leader was still alive.
"You! Who are you? "
The assassin leader was instantly terrified.
Such an expert actually wanted to help Chen Cangmang. This was simply too terrifying.
Whoosh!
Ling Xiao took a step forward. It was the Profound Meaning of Light's Divine Teleportation.
He instantly appeared in front of the leader of the assassins and grabbed him by the neck. Then, he said coldly, "Who told you to kill Chen Cangmang?"
"I won't tell anyone!"
The leader of the assassins had a ruthless look in his eyes. He actually took poison and committed suicide.
Unfortunately, death did not come.
Ling Xiao ridiculed, "With me around, you still want to commit suicide? If you don't want to be tortured, tell me the truth. Otherwise, not only will you die, but your family will also die. "
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
The leader of the assassins took off the black scarf on his face.
"I'm a Divine Thunder Guard. Those assassins were hired by the King from the Dark God Palace at a high price."
He was very afraid of the feeling of not being able to live and not being able to die. He was even more afraid of implicating his family.
The person in front of him was too terrifying. He was definitely not someone he could deal with.
Therefore, he had to tell the truth.
"Father! How could he! "
Chen Cangmang simply couldn't believe it. He originally thought that it was Chen Cangxiong who did it, but he never expected that it was actually his father.
As the saying went, even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. However, this King really wanted to kill him.
"Seventh Prince, some of your words in the army have angered the King. You shouldn't have spoken up for that Ling Xiao.
The King summoned you back to the Royal Capital this time because he wants to kill you midway. "
The leader of the assassins said helplessly, "We know that you're loyal and patriotic, but it's useless. You also know that the King's orders cannot be disobeyed."
"How should we deal with him?"
Ling Xiao looked at Chen Cangmang and asked.
He had already asked what he needed to ask. Ling Xiao felt that there was no need to keep this guy alive.
"Since he was captured by the hero, you can deal with him yourself."
Chen Cangmang said.
"Alright!"
If Ling Xiao wanted to deal with him, he would naturally kill him. Keeping such a person alive was ultimately asking for trouble.
"Wait!"
The leader of the assassins suddenly shouted, "I know a piece of news, a very important piece of news. I hope it can be exchanged for my life!"
"What news?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"A piece of news about the Seventh Prince's friend, Ling Xiao."
The leader of the assassins really shocked everyone with his words.
Such news attracted the attention of both Ling Xiao and Chen Cangmang.
"Speak!"
Ling Xiao said lightly.
"If I tell you, can you spare my life? Even if you have to destroy my cultivation, I just want to be reunited with my family. "
The leader of the assassins begged.
"That depends on whether your news is worth it or not," Ling Xiao said.
"It definitely is. Just yesterday, a few experts from Thunder City came. They all came from Tianchi Mountain. They only have one goal, and that is to kill Ling Xiao."
The leader of the assassins said with trepidation.
He did not know whether this news could save his life, but he could only take a gamble.
"Eat this Soul-absorbing Pill and you can get lost!"
Ling Xiao did not destroy the leader of the assassins' cultivation. Instead, he stuffed a Soul-absorbing Pill into the leader's mouth and used the Soul-absorbing Pill to control him.
Xiao Chen did not have any spies in Thunder City, so he did not know many things. However, with this person around, many things would be easier in the future.
"Many thanks for sparing my life!"
The leader of the assassins turned and left.
Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Chen Cangmang and said, "It looks like you cannot return to Thunder City for now. What are your plans in the future?"
"I still have not asked Your Excellency. How should I address you?"
Chen Cangmang asked.
"Tuoba Ling!"
Ling Xiao said indifferently.
He had used this name before, so he casually used it again. After all, it was not a special name. There were many of them in this country.
"So, it is Senior Tuoba. Many thanks for Your Excellency's saving grace. However, I must take back Thunder City.
I cannot watch as the Chen Nation is taken over by despicable villains! "
Chen Cangmang clenched his teeth and said, "In the past, I guarded the borders and did not care about the matters of the royal court.
However, I have made up my mind now. I will fight for this throne. Even if I die, I will have a clear conscience! "
"If you fight for the throne, you might face brothers killing each other and becoming enemies. Can you handle it?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"I have to, even if I can't!"
Chen Cangmang clenched his teeth and said, "I avoided the world, but I ended up in such a situation. Since others will not let me live in peace, then I can only become their nightmare."
"However, if you return like this, you will definitely die!"
Ling Xiao said bluntly, "Your cultivation is too weak, and the people around you are even weaker."
"So, if Mister is not stingy, can you help me?"
Chen Cangmang asked.
"Help you? What benefits will I get? "
Ling Xiao countered.
"What does Mister want?"
Chen Cangmang countered.
"I want the Chen Nation. Are you willing to give it to me?"
Ling Xiao teased.
"As long as Mister loves the people like your children, why not? Furthermore, I am not suited to be a king. Fighting on the battlefield is more enjoyable."
Chen Cangmang nodded without hesitation.
If someone else had said this, Ling Xiao would have thought that the other party was acting.
However, since Chen Cangmang said this, he believed it.
"Alright, since you have such courage, there's no harm in helping you. However, there's something I need to do first. You should return to Thunder City first. I'll send someone to secretly protect you. Once I'm done, I'll naturally contact you again."
