When Ye Mo followed Tong Yao to the entrance of the meeting hall, there were already four people in the meeting hall: Tong Lan, Elder Tong Shan, the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm Ling Xiao, and a middle-aged man. Judging from his attire, he should be a member of the Tong Estate.
The four of them were in the living room, discussing about the mirage.
"Ling Xiao, this is Elder Tong Shan, a half-step into the True Energy Realm. This is Zhu Qiang, a guard of the Tong Clan, an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior."
Tong Lan sat at the side and introduced the two to Ling Xiao.
"My name is Ling Xiao. You should know who I am, so I won't bother explaining."
Ling Xiao cupped his hands at the two, looking extremely arrogant.
"So it's Ling Xiao, the genius of the Ling Clan, one of the top fighters in the Tiandu City. I heard that the Ling Clan has a Ling Xiao Sword Technique that is unrivaled in the world. With this technique, it's hard to find an opponent below the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. I'm afraid that even Protector Zhu Qiang might not be your match."
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Tong Shan's face. Evidently, this Ling Xiao had some sort of background.
"You flatter me. I'll be staying at the Tong Clan for the next few days. Don't forget our promise."
As Ling Xiao spoke, he revealed a proud smile at Tong Lan.
"What promise did you two make?"
Elder Tong Shan raised his brows and asked.
"No promise. It's just that if I successfully help you obtain the Kraken Mansion, Tong Lan will marry me."
Ling Xiao said.
Hearing this, Elder Tong Shan and Zhu Qiang's expressions changed at the same time. When they looked at Ling Xiao, they were filled with anger. This Ling Xiao was obviously taking advantage of the situation. He knew that the Tong Clan did not have any powerful fighters. Furthermore, in this battle for the Kraken Mansion, if one of the clans obtained the Kraken Mansion, the other two clans would be wiped out.
An additional Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter could play an important role in crucial moments.
"Kid, you're too much."
Tong Shan slammed his palm on the table and flew into a rage.
"Hey, do you know that the Tie Clan and the Mu Clan each have a half-step True Energy Realm fighter and three Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters? Without me, you two will definitely become cannon fodder."
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"That's still better than letting the young miss marry you. Get lost!"
Tong Shan pointed at the door of the conference hall and roared.
"That's what you said."
Ling Xiao snorted in disdain. He slowly stood up and said, "You better not regret this."
"Wait!"
A determined voice rang out. Tong Lan stood up and said, "Ling Xiao, as long as you can help my Tong family successfully obtain the Sea Demon Mansion, I can agree to your conditions."
"Hahaha, Tong Lan is indeed someone who understands the bigger picture."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed maniacally, preparing to return to his seat.
"I disagree!"
Suddenly, Tong Yao rushed out and stood in front of Ling Xiao. She said angrily.
"Don't mess around."
Tong Lan drank Tong Yao directly.
"Sister, this guy is simply taking advantage of the situation. Don't tell me that our Tong family can't snatch that sea demon's mansion without him?"
Tong Yao glared at Ling Xiao fiercely, ready to explode at any moment.
"Second Young Mistress Tong, you're still young and insensible, so I won't argue with you. However, without me, the Tong family would have had a hard time snatching the treasures from the Kraken Mansion."
Ling Xiao laughed coldly.
"I've heard that the Ling Family's Ling Xiao Sword Technique is rather miraculous. However, it's hard to say now that you've met me."
Ye Mo crossed his arms in front of his chest and slowly walked out from the entrance of the conference hall.
"Who are you? What arrogance! "
Ling Xiao stared straight at Ye Mo and said, "An Energy Shaping Seventh Realm kid dares to stand in front of me and say such words? Who are you from the Tong family to speak so arrogantly? Do you think you have the right to witness my Ling Xiao Sword Technique? "
"You're Ling Xiao, right? I'm also a fighter hired by the Tong family. Furthermore, Tong Lan has promised me the same conditions as you. If the Tong family successfully obtains the Kraken Mansion, you can't possibly let her marry both of us at the same time, right?"
Ye Mo stared straight at him and said with a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Kid, you're asking for death!"
How could Ling Xiao not know what Ye Mo meant? He shouted loudly and stared furiously at Ye Mo. "If you can take three attacks from me, I will voluntarily leave the Tong family. Otherwise, scram as far as you can."
Ye Mo was only an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter. He wouldn't even be able to take one attack from him, let alone three.
"Ye Xiao, don't be rash. He's an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter. Furthermore, his Ling Xiao Sword Technique is something even an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter wouldn't be able to take," Elder Tong Shan immediately said.
Elder Tong Shan immediately spoke. No matter how overboard or arrogant Ling Xiao's actions were, he was still a powerful individual.
Without waiting for Ye Mo to speak, Tong Yao said, "Ling Xiao, you said it yourself. Three attacks. If he can take three attacks from you, you will have to leave the Tong family."
Ye Mo had sent Tie Ruyu flying with a single slap. Taking three attacks from Ling Xiao would definitely not be a problem.
Hearing that, Tong Lan's beautiful eyes stared at Ye Mo. While she had a certain understanding of Ye Mo's strength, she did not know exactly how strong he was.
"Fine, three attacks it is. Kid, follow me out if you have the guts."
As he spoke, Ling Xiao flicked his sleeves and left the meeting hall.
"Ye Xiao, you can do it!"
Tong Yao made a cheering gesture towards Ye Mo as she giggled.
Everyone followed her out. Arriving at the backyard of the Tong family, Ye Mo walked in front of Ling Xiao and said, "Show me your Ling Xiao Sword Technique. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to do so."
With his current strength, he could even put up a fight against a fighter half a step into the True Energy Realm. A fighter like Ling Xiao would not be of much interest to him.
"You don't have the right to make me show you the Ling Xiao Sword Technique."
A hint of killing intent suddenly flashed across Ling Xiao's eyes. He waved his arm and a towering fiery light radiated from his body, forming a huge flame above his head.
"Sky Blazing Flame!"
Grabbing the flame with one hand, Ling Xiao's expression became even more ferocious. With a wave of his hand, the huge flame swept across the sky and smashed towards Ye Mo.
"This move is too weak."
Ye Mo raised his eyebrows. The current him had an aura of superiority when facing an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter. Their moves did not pose any threat to Ye Mo.
Only the man he met outside the Heaven's Wall City that day was qualified to make him take him seriously.
The flame was like a huge whip, slicing through the air with a domineering aura as it slashed towards Ye Mo's head, creating a huge vacuum in the air.
Yet, facing such a powerful attack, Ye Mo did not move. Not even a trace of emotion could be seen in his eyes.
Just as the flame was about to descend, Ye Mo reached out with a single hand. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he grabbed the huge flame.
Whoosh!
The Giant Dragon Power exploded, causing the ground where Ye Mo was standing to start cracking. Following that, he waved his hand furiously. Holding the huge flame in his hand, Ye Mo flung it towards Ling Xiao.
The flame danced in the air, creating a huge wave of pressure. Ling Xiao immediately drew the sword on his back and slashed towards the flame.
Boom!
The flame was slashed apart by Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao's expression had already turned extremely ugly.
Catching his Sky Blazing Flame barehanded – this was a technique he had never seen before.
