Ling Xiao didn't even bother to look at the bodies of the cold-faced cultivator and the others.
Perhaps it was because he had killed too many people in the past few days, but these people didn't wear any storage rings when they entered the mountain. They had given all their valuables to people they trusted.
The cold-faced cultivator was no exception.
He wasn't interested in corpses without storage rings.
[Even after killing the cold-faced cultivator, there's still Fairy Ling Long!
Just you wait, Fairy Ling Long. We'll meet again soon, and when that time comes, it'll be your death.]
…
Dawn.
The sun shone down on the earth.
In the depths of the Dragon Subduing Mountain Range, a group of people was walking under the speckles of sunlight.
They were cultivators who had entered the mountain to pick herbs. They wore special markings on their bodies, afraid that they would be targeted by the murderous demon king.
Fortunately, they were safe along the way.
"Hey, look, what's that!"
Amid the panicked shouts, several cultivators looked forward.
What a scene — —
In an open space, the trees were all burnt black, and in the middle of this charred land, several corpses were strewn about.
Next to these corpses, there was a freshly filled grave with a stone tablet erected on top of it!
"Yuehua School, Tie Shan's Grave."
Below these words were the words "His death was justified."
The cultivators looked at each other and cried out in fear. They didn't care about going into the mountain to pick herbs, turning around and fleeing.
Soon, the entire Sha Family Castle knew about this.
"Hey, did you hear? The cold-faced cultivator by Fairy Ling Long's side died. His head was separated from his body, he died a horrible death."
"That's nothing. Yuehua School's Tie Shan was a Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm Grandmaster, but he was still killed."
"Was it done by that person?"
"It must be, it's that young man with a bounty on his head!"
"I heard that he's only fourteen years old. How can he be so terrifying? In the past few days, there have been rumors that over a thousand cultivators entered the mountain range to capture him. However, more than five hundred died, and the rest fled."
"Isn't that obvious? He can even kill a Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator, no matter how many we send, it'll be useless."
"Hehe, that Fairy Linglong is such a hypocrite. Who knows how many men she has slept with in the past?"
"Shh, lower your voice. After all, the Sha Family is still her territory. This time, she has found a core disciple from the Beast King Palace to help her."
"What's there to be afraid of? The cold-faced martial artist is already dead. Do you think that young man will let him live?"
In an instant, the Sha Castle was abuzz with discussions. Many people who had been suppressed by Fairy Linglong but did not dare to say anything were celebrating at home.
The people they couldn't afford to offend had finally kicked an iron plate this time.
…
The atmosphere in Ling Long Celestial Palace became even more oppressive and oppressive. It was as if the black smoke that had accumulated there was coming out unceasingly.
On the ground was the corpse of the cold-faced warrior and the charred "Hemlock".
However, this time, other than Wang She, there were three more people in the hall. They were the other three of Meng Yuan's Four Wooden Guests.
They were Zhan Liu, Wu Yang, and Qin Wu.
Looking at the charred corpse, the three of them looked terrifyingly gloomy as if they would explode at any time.
Their eyes were full of strong killing intent.
"Senior brother, you must avenge Hemlock. You must tear that brat Ling Xiao into pieces. Don't leave even a trace of him alive!"
Qin Wu shouted angrily.
"That's right. The four of us are like brothers. Although we are not from the same family, we are from the same small sect. We became sworn brothers. We said we would live and die together!"
Wu Yang shouted, too.
Their eyes were blood-red, and their anger had almost condensed into a solid form.
Zhan Liu nodded.
He still remembered what Meng Yuan had told him when he left the Yuehua School. He had told him to keep a low profile and not to expose his killing intent to Ling Xiao in front of others.
However, how could he hold back when he saw Hemlock's dead body?
However, he also found it hard to believe.
He knew about Ling Xiao.
Moreover, Meng Yuan had given him all the detailed information about this person.
He was an outer disciple. A month ago, his cultivation was between the peak of the Transcendent Realm Second Layer and the early Transcendent Realm Third Layer.
What was going on now?
How could he kill Hemlock?!
Hemlock was an early Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer cultivator!
Because he couldn't believe it, he even suspected that it was Beast King Palace's Wang She who did it.
However, Wang She had an alibi. When Hemlock died, Wang She was discussing with Fairy Linglong and some other cultivators about going into the mountain to kill Ling Xiao.
He had to get to the bottom of this matter. If it was really Ling Xiao, he would definitely turn that guy into ashes.
"I advise the three of you to calm down."
Wang She suddenly said coldly, "Although Tie Shan's cultivation is weaker than the three of you, it's actually not that much weaker. According to my previous investigation of the scene, that Ling Xiao didn't even suffer any serious injuries. After he killed Tie Shan, he left very easily. This shows that his strength is much stronger than Tie Shan's!
Of course, he hoped that the people from Yuehua School would fight to the death.
However, this was called speaking the opposite of the truth.
If he urged the three of them to kill Ling Xiao, not only would he fail, but he would also be suspected.
However, if he said this, the situation would be completely different.
He believed that these three idiots would definitely reject his good intentions and insist on finding trouble with Ling Xiao.
As for him, he would naturally be able to sit back and reap the benefits.
Although he wasn't afraid of Ling Xiao, he felt that this brat was troublesome. If the people from Yuehua School could injure both sides, he would naturally be able to solve the problem more easily.
"Many thanks for Brother Wang's good intentions, but this bastard actually killed his fellow disciple. Moreover, he killed our Junior Brother who was like a brother to us. He must die!"
Sure enough, Zhan Liu, Wu Yang, and Qin Wu's thoughts were surprisingly in sync.
Zhan Liu, who was originally a little calm, was now filled with killing intent. He could no longer remain calm.
"Miss Linglong, I'll have to trouble you to help me."
Zhan Liu looked at Fairy Linglong and said.
"Please tell me, Senior Brother Zhan. I'll definitely do it."
Fairy Linglong couldn't afford to offend anyone here. This incident this time was caused by her. She was already very lucky that Zhan Liu and the other two didn't find trouble with her. She didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Go and gather the martial artists now and let them pretend to be herb gatherers. This Ling Xiao is very hypocritical. Although he killed many people in the past few days, he didn't kill any innocent people. This shows that he's selective when he kills."
Zhan Liu said, "These people don't have to attack Ling Xiao, and don't have any hostility towards Ling Xiao. They're just going into the mountains to pick herbs. If they 'accidentally' find Ling Xiao, immediately release the signal flare without any hesitation."
"Understood."
Fairy Linglong thought that this was a really good idea. This way, Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to distinguish the real herb gatherers from the real hunters.
"I'll do it right away. Cold Face has been with me for many years. I'll definitely avenge him no matter what."
"You guys don't object to me coming along, right?"
Wang She asked with a smile.
"Of course not. As long as we can reduce Ling Xiao to ashes, Brother Wang can do whatever you want."
