Looking at Master Hou, who was puking out blood, the man in the gown shuddered.
For one, even Master Hou, who was at the peak of the extraordinary realm, could not defend against one move from Ling Xian. For two, Ling Xian really dared to kill him.
Everyone else in the restaurant was in awe.
Though Master Hou was not known for his battling abilities, he was still a cultivator at the peak of the extraordinary realm. For him to be defeated by one move from Ling Xian was shocking.
"Who is this person? How powerful! "
"He truly is powerful. But what surprises me more is that he dared to provoke Master Hou and the governor!"
"This person is either crazy or he has a powerful background!"
"The governor is half a step away from becoming a Venerable and is good friends with the other royal kinds. Unless this person's background is a Venerable, he is dead for sure!"
Everyone discussed and the way they looked at Ling Xian was full of respect.
The man in the gown was arrogant and did all kinds of evil. Most people in the City of Demons wanted to kill him but nobody dared to.
Yet Ling Xian dared to. Naturally, everyone respected him.
"How troublesome."
Listening to the discussions around him, Ling Xian frowned slightly. He knew that before long, this news will reach the ears of the Immortal Ruler.
When that happens, it will be very difficult for him to leave the City of Demons.
However, Ling Xian did not give up on killing the man in the gown.
The feud had been set. If he stops now, the man in the gown will not forgive him.
Ling Xian pointed out a finger. Spiritual energy rolled out and crumbled the space.
At this, Master Hou gritted his teeth and dashed in front of the man in the gown.
Retch!
Fresh blood splattered and his bones cracked. Master Hou shrieked in pain and wanted nothing more than to tear Ling Xian into pieces.
"Move, don't make me kill you." Ling Xian frowned, knowing that Master Hou was only protecting the man because of the leader of the city.
"Young governor, run!"
Master Hou urged. Then, he revealed his true form. It was a pitch-black ape.
"Can you?" Ling Xian spoke softly, not wanting to waste any more time.
He pointed out a finger. Like hundreds of thousands of mountains, Master Hou was immobilized.
The difference in capabilities was far too great. Even if Master Hou revealed his true form, he could not stop one move from Ling Xian.
At the same time, he appeared before the man in the gown like a ghost. His slender palm tore through the air and split open the sky.
However, it was unable to kill the man in embroidered robes.
A powerful force suddenly descended and locked Ling Xian in place. Just like Master Hou, he was unable to move.
"You dare to attack my son? You're courting death!"
A cold voice resounded through the clouds. After that, a golden-robed man walked out from the void, exuding a majestic aura like that of an emperor, staring down at everyone.
This caused everyone present to be shocked, and they hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
"Forget it."
The leader of the Thousand Demons City said softly. Then, he looked at the man in the brocade robe who was covered in blood. His eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Father, you are finally here!" The man in embroidered robes cried tears of joy. Master Hou also felt relieved.
The Myriad Demon City Master was a half-step Supreme-Being. Apart from those close to the Dao and the leader of the Sovereign Family, he was the strongest. Naturally, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
"Father, I'm late. Don't worry, I'll make this person suffer a fate worse than death." The Thousand Demons City Leader's expression was ice cold, filled with killing intent.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid you don't have that capability," Ling Xian said softly, at ease.
It wasn't that he had the confidence to fight against a half-step Supreme-Being, but that he sensed a familiar aura.
"You sure are gutsy."
The City Leader's expression darkened. He was an important figure on the Planet of Fiends. How many people dared to talk to him like this?
"I'm not gutsy, I'm just confident."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. His nonchalant demeanor was truly admirable.
"You sure are pretentious!"
The man in embroidered robes snickered, "I admit that you are strong. But even if there are 10,000 of you, you cannot stop my father!"
"That's true. But who told you that my confidence comes from myself?" Ling Xian shook his head and laughed.
"You are just trying to be mysterious. Even if the Dragon King is here today, he cannot save you!"
The man in embroidered robes snickered. The arrival of the City Leader made his fear disappear. What replaced it was his initial arrogance.
Master Hou reacted the same way.
The way he looked at Ling Xian was like he was looking at a dead man.
"Even if the Dragon King is here, he cannot save me …"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, "You cannot say things like that. You might actually attract the Dragon King's attention."
"Do you think I am an idiot?" The man in embroidered robes snickered in disdain, "The Dragon King is far away from the dragon kind. Why would he come to the City of Demons?"
"That's hard to say." Ling Xian grinned. The familiar Qi he felt was from the Dragon King.
"I will not let you die easily. If I don't torture you for three days, then all my blood would have been for nothing."
The man in embroidered robes snickered and shifted his gaze towards the City Leader, "Father, destroy his cultivation first. Then, I will deal with him."
"Okay."
The City Leader nodded with a smile. He has always spoiled the man in embroidered robes. Destroying Ling Xian's cultivation … even if he was asked to kill a ninth leveled cultivator, he wouldn't say no.
Immediately, he flapped around his sleeve. Spiritual energy poured out of him, shocking everything in the area.
This changed everyone's expression. The man in black, in particular, had a drastic change in expression.
This was far too terrifying. If it landed on Ling Xian, it would definitely destroy his cultivation!
However, as the person involved, Ling Xian, was not at all fazed.
He raised his head to look at the clouds and grinned, "If you don't make a move, then your daughter will fight you to the death."
Just then, an astonishing amount of energy descended and easily destroyed the City Leader's attack.
Then, the Dragon King reappeared and stared at Ling Xian in anger, "What did you do to my daughter?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. He knew that the Dragon King had misunderstood.
He explained, "It's not what you think. Miss Long and I made a promise. If I die, she will be very disappointed."
"What promise?" The Dragon King looked at Ling Xian cautiously.
"If you can't tell me, then you can ask Miss Long." Ling Xian shook his head.
"I am warning you, don't even think about touching my daughter. Or else, don't blame me for not giving you face." The Dragon King glared at Ling Xian.
"Do not worry, Dragon King. Miss Long and I are innocent. There is nothing going on between us." Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile.
This caused everyone at the scene to fall into a daze. Even the Thousand Demons City Leader was stunned.
Though the Dragon King's words were not polite, even an idiot could tell that he was very familiar with Ling Xian. Plus, he blocked the City Leader's attack. Naturally, everyone was stunned.
The man in the brocade gown and Master Hou widened their eyes. They didn't think Ling Xian would know the leader of the Dragon Kind!
"Could it be that I really did it?"
Remembering what he said, the man in the brocade gown was in a daze. Then, he realized that everyone was looking at him like he was an idiot.
Why would the Dragon King come because of what he said? It was obvious that he happened to be here and saw that Ling Xian was in trouble.
"Young man, you have caused quite a lot of trouble this time." The Dragon King glared at Ling Xian.
"It is. But to the Dragon King, it's nothing." Ling Xian grinned.
"I like what you said."
The Dragon King laughed, "Seeing that you have done so much for the Dragon Kind, I will take care of this."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards the City Leader and uttered out a dominating statement.
"This person is under my protection. Even if you have a problem with it, you have to swallow it."
