There were still nine days left before half a month!
Ling Xiao finally returned to Martial City.
Everyone was cultivating. Because of the Golden King's order, no one dared to cause trouble for the Martial City Defense Army.
Ling Xiao did not disturb anyone and returned to his cultivation room.
First, he took out the Nine Snake Scepter and the Heaven Covering Blood Palm to study.
He was preparing to combine the two.
The Nine Snake Scepter was too eye-catching and was not suitable for battle.
However, Ling Xiao was already wearing the Heaven Covering Blood Palm. It was a very low-key magic treasure.
It was also easier to use.
The transformation process was quite smooth. After all, he was already familiar with these techniques.
A day later, the Nine Snake Scepter disappeared and was replaced by an Emperor Weapon with four divine dragon patterns embedded with nine gems — the Nine Snake Blood Palm.
Compared to the original Heaven Covering Blood Palm, this glove was obviously of a higher grade and more powerful.
Even the original Heaven Covering Blood Palm could contain the mysterious effect of the gems, greatly increasing its power.
After completing the Nine Snake Blood Palm, Ling Xiao finally had time to study the three Darkness Saint Runes.
The Alchemy Saint Rune could be ignored because there was a gem that had the same effect as the Alchemy Saint Rune and was even more powerful.
Ling Xiao first started to learn the Martial God Saint Rune.
This Saint Rune could open up a Saint Rune Domain with both attack and enhancement effects. It was quite powerful.
Fortunately, there were no additional requirements to learn a Grade 1 Saint Rune, so Ling Xiao only spent half a day to master it.
The Darkness Saint Rune was much more difficult and obscure than the Support Saint Rune.
He only spent a short time to learn the Golden Light Saint Rune.
As for the Martial God Saint Rune, it took him a bit longer.
However, he finally learned it.
At this point, there were only seven days left before he challenged Qi Tianmei.
After a tiring day, Ling Xiao wanted to relax. Therefore, he sat in the pavilion outside the residence and drank tea.
"It really doesn't let people have peace."
As soon as he sat down, Ling Xiao sighed before he even took a sip of tea. His figure flashed and he appeared outside the Governor's Residence.
At this time, the city guards in charge of patrolling also noticed something strange. Chenqi appeared there with a group of people.
Seeing Ling Xiao come out, they hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Lord Commander."
"You guys stand back. These people are a bit troublesome. Let me deal with them."
Ling Xiao waved his hand.
And at this moment, an uninvited guest had already arrived at the entrance of the governor's manor.
There were a few familiar faces in the group of ten.
They should be the cultivators that Huang Xue had brought with her. However, Huang Xue was nowhere to be seen this time.
However, there were even more unfamiliar faces. They were not young people, but people in black who could not see the light of day. They were also wearing masks, as if they were deliberately not willing to reveal their faces.
The leader was obviously from the royal family, but it was unclear which faction he belonged to.
This person naturally exuded the mighty aura of a Golden God.
He was dressed in a brocade robe with Saint Runes emitting a faint glow.
"It's the Golden Light Saint Rune?"
Ling Xiao frowned. This person's background was definitely not simple. Saint Inscription Masters were rare to begin with.
Moreover, Saint Inscription Masters who knew Golden Light Saint Runes were even rarer.
After all, Golden Light Saint Runes were the best among the first-grade Saint Runes.
This person was not old, but his cultivation level was not low.
It was obvious that he had already reached the late-stage of the Divine Body Ninth Level.
In addition, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he was in high spirits. There was a powerful aura between his brows. This should be due to him cultivating some kind of special cultivation technique.
As a result, his aura was probably even stronger than Huang Xue's.
However, in terms of strength, he should be far from Huang Xue. After all, Huang Xue was at the Divine Body Tenth Level.
In terms of status, he should be inferior to Huang Xue.
Perhaps he was a genius from the royal family's three factions.
As for the other nine people, three of them were familiar faces. However, they did not belong to the royal family. Instead, they were young cultivators from the Golden Region's Zhou Family and Qi Family.
Their strength was basically at the peak of the Divine Body Eighth Level, which was not bad.
After all, they were not old.
The other six were all in black with masks. Their strength was at the Divine Body Ninth Level.
Ling Xiao did not know why these people came here in the middle of the night, but he was sure that they were not here to drink tea with him.
"May I know why all of you came here in the middle of the night?"
Ling Xiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the ten people in front of him.
The ten people in front of him were not enough to pose a threat to him.
Therefore, he did not need to panic at all.
"I'm Huang Yunji!
I'm sure you know that the royal family is divided into three factions: the royalist faction, the senior statesman faction, and the middle-of-the-road faction.
The royalist faction is naturally led by the Golden King. The imperial court is their center.
The senior statesman faction is led by the senior statesman faction. The senior statesman faction has the right to impeach the Golden King and review his decisions. It is also very powerful with the four senior statesmen as its core.
The middle-of-the-road faction should actually be called the Law faction. They have the Criminal Court as their core.
The Criminal Court is in charge of the laws of the Golden Martial Nation. The Golden King and the senior statesman are all under their jurisdiction.
The head of the Criminal Court is their leader.
The Criminal Court has a secret pavilion. The martial artists in the secret pavilion are all called secret guards!
Huang Yunji is not talented, but I am a member of the secret pavilion. "
Huang Yunji did not state his purpose first. Instead, he introduced himself.
However, this also gave Ling Xiao a general understanding of the situation in the Golden Martial Nation.
It's really complicated. No wonder the Golden King is unhappy.
Both the senior statesman faction and the Criminal Court seem to have the possibility of taking him down.
"Then, this secret guard of the secret pavilion, why are you looking for me today?"
Ling Xiao's expression was still indifferent.
Whether the other party was a secret guard or something else, it made no difference to him.
If they were looking for trouble, he would just beat them away.
"Hehe, it seems that Commander Ling is not surprised at all."
Huang Yunji smiled and said, "Just like the rumors, you're a fearless person.
You don't even give face to the Golden King. You're really not bad.
Well, let's not talk nonsense. In that case, I'll tell you the real purpose of today's visit.
Do you know that the brothers Huang Tae-woon and Huang Taifeng are missing? "
So it's really for this matter?
Ling Xiao sneered in his heart. However, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Aiya, Huang Tae-woon and I used to compete for the position of commander. Why did he suddenly go missing?
And that Huang Taifeng, isn't he a Tenth Level Divine Physique Echelon expert?
Why did he go missing? "
Huang Yunji stared at Ling Xiao's face, hoping to see something from his face.
Fortunately, he saw through it.
When he mentioned Huang Tae-woon and Huang Taifeng, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a smug smile.
Others might not be able to see through it.
However, he, Huang Yunji, could.
As a secret guard, although his strength was not outstanding, his eyes were especially sharp.
"It's really related to you!"
Huang Yunji said coldly.
"Oh? Interesting! "
Ling Xiao was also a little surprised. This Huang Yunji was not bad. He could tell at a glance that he was lying.
However, so what if he could tell?
The other party did not have any evidence to prove that he was the one who killed them.
He did not even know if Huang Tae-woon and Huang Taifeng were dead or not.
Wanting him to plead guilty with such a thin chain of evidence was simply ridiculous.
