"Stop!
Tell me, who are you?
Why do you want to kill me?
Tell me and I'll give you a quick death! "
Ling Xiao gestured for Deng Yalin and the rest to stop as he stared coldly at the black-robed youth.
Although Ling Xiao had escaped this calamity, his heart was still filled with anger. A strong murderous intent towards the Ling Family's Great Elder, Ling Yunxiang.
Ever since Ling Kun, Ling Yunxiang had tried to kill Ling Xiao time and time again. It was as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake hidden in the dark. This made Ling Xiao furious.
"You won't know. Hahaha … You won't be able to get any information from me!"
The black-robed youth spat out blood. His eyes were filled with arrogance as he laughed loudly.
He clearly had the will to die. Such a Death Warrior's heart was firm and he had long disregarded life and death.
"You really refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Are you so sure that you won't say anything?"
Ling Xiao sneered and slapped the black-robed youth's head.
Boom!
This slap was powerful, as if it wanted to smash the black-robed youth's head into pieces. However, when it landed, it was extremely gentle. An extremely powerful mental power invaded the black-robed youth's sea of consciousness without restraint.
With the mental power of a low-grade Soaring Cloud alchemist, it was easy for him to perform the Soul Searching Technique. It was not something a Death Warrior could resist.
"Who are you?
Who sent you? "
Ling Xiao asked indifferently.
The black-robed young man's eyes became dull in an instant, and he replied honestly, "Great Elder sent me here and gave me the Ten Thousand Poison Arrow to kill you …"
Ling Xiao understood after hearing the black-robed youth's explanation.
It turned out that the Great Elder Ling Yunxiang had always been worried about Ling Xiao. Ling Yunxiang had sent spies around the Longevity Sect. However, a few years ago, Ling Xiao was too useless and his martial cultivation was too weak. Thus, Ling Yunxiang did not pay too much attention to him.
However, ever since Ling Xiao's body was taken over by the Sky Devouring Supreme, he had taught Ling Kun and Chen Feng a lesson, defeated Deng Yalin, used the Purple Heavenly Lightning to suppress Deng Tiande, passed the ninth level of the Longevity Tower and became the Holy Son of the Longevity Sect.
This series of events attracted Ling Yunxiang's attention and alertness. He became somewhat restless and wished he could immediately kill Ling Xiao.
This black-robed young man was called Poison Spirit. He was a silver-plate assassin from the assassin organization "Inferno". He was hired by Ling Yunxiang to deal with Ling Xiao. Even the poisonous arrow he shot out was called Million Poison Arrow. It was a one-time secret treasure comparable to a supreme grade spiritual weapon. Ling Yunxiang had also paid a huge price to get it.
What Ling Yunxiang wanted was Ling Xiao's death!
He absolutely could not allow Ling Xiao to return to the capital alive.
By the time Ling Xiao got the information he wanted, Poison Spirit's mind was already in a mess. He became an idiot and was thrown aside by Ling Xiao.
"Ling Yunxiang?
I didn't look for you, but you came to deal with me. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you? "
Ling Xiao's eyes revealed a trace of cold light, giving birth to a strong killing intent towards Ling Yunxiang.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly when he heard about the assassin organization Netherworld from the Poison Fiend.
This Netherworld organization was very mysterious. They had bronze-plate assassins, silver-plate assassins, gold-plate assassins, and heaven-rank assassins!
It was said that gold-plate assassins were at least at the level of a grandmaster while heaven-rank assassins were at least at the level of a Heavenly Being!
The number of grandmasters and Heavenly Beings who had died at the hands of Netherworld was innumerable. In order to hire Netherworld's help, one must pay a huge price.
It was not that Ling Yunxiang did not want to hire a gold-plate assassin. It was just that the price was too high. Even Ling Yunxiang could not afford it.
Furthermore, for every assassination mission from Netherworld, if they failed the first time, there would be a second time until the mission was completely completed!
Therefore, those who had been targeted by Netherworld were almost guaranteed to die.
However, there was an exception in the Underworld. As long as one could avoid nine assassination attempts by the Underworld, one would be completely removed from the Underworld's assassination list. Furthermore, one would never be assassinated by the Underworld again!
This was considered a compromise by Netherworld. After all, those who could avoid nine assassination attempts from Netherworld were not to be trifled with. They might become earth-shattering figures in the future. If they could not assassinate such a person, it was better to befriend them as soon as possible.
In other words, this was only the first assassination attempt from Netherworld. There were still eight more!
The reason why Ling Xiao felt that it was troublesome was that although he was not afraid of Netherworld's assassination attempts, if he brought Xue Wei and Liu Piaopiao back to the capital, he would not be able to take care of them. Their lives might be in danger.
From the looks of it, he could not bring Xue Wei and Liu Piaopiao back to the capital!
After Ling Xiao thought it through, he waved his hand, indicating for Deng Yalin to take care of the Poison Spirit.
The news of Ling Xiao's assassination quickly reached Nangong Xuan.
Nangong Xuan, the Great Elder, Jian Wuque, Nangong Qing and the rest quickly arrived at Jinse Pavilion.
"Ling Xiao, are you alright?
Ling Yunxiang has gone too far! "
Nangong Xuan and the rest asked with concern. Their eyes were filled with anger.
No matter what, Ling Xiao was the son of Demon King Zhenyao. He was also Ling Yunxiang's grandson. However, Ling Yunxiang had tried to kill him time and time again. This made them extremely angry.
"Saint, stay in Changsheng Sect. Don't return to the capital!
Let's see if that old thing Ling Yunxiang still dares to send people to kill you.
If one comes, I'll kill one. If two comes, I'll kill two! "
The Great Elder was the most agitated. He was so angry that he flew into a rage.
"That's right!
Saint, the Underworld organization is not simple. Although it is hidden in the dark, its strength is incomparably huge. I'm afraid it's not much weaker than those Martial Dao Holy Lands. It's too dangerous for you to return to the capital. Why don't you stay in Changsheng Sect? "
Deng Tiande also tried to persuade him.
Now, he no longer had any jealousy or resentment towards Ling Xiao. He had completely become Ling Xiao's most loyal supporter.
"If you insist on returning to the capital, I'll go with you!"
Nangong Qing said slowly. Her eyes revealed a trace of determination.
Seeing everyone's concerned expressions, Ling Xiao's heart warmed. He smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry. It's not like you don't know my strength. If that old thing Ling Yunxiang dares to send people again, he's just courting death!
I have to return to the capital. There are many things that I need to settle. A mere Underworld can't stop me! "
Ling Xiao's voice was very determined. After hearing his words, everyone sighed slightly. They knew that once Ling Xiao made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
Moreover, when they thought of Ling Xiao's abnormal combat strength, they were also slightly relieved. They were afraid that even ordinary Martial Dao Masters might not be his match.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'll be fine!
Cultivate well. I hope that when I return, not only have you broken through to the Dragon Tiger Realm, but you've also comprehended sword intent! "
Ling Xiao said with a smile when he saw Nangong Qing hesitating.
Nangong Qing originally wanted to refute, but when she saw Ling Xiao's determined and clear eyes, she didn't know why her heart softened. She nodded obediently.
Xue Wei and Liu Piaopiao were also determined to return to the capital with Ling Xiao. However, they were both suppressed by Ling Xiao.
Following that, Ling Xiao spent a day giving pointers to everyone's cultivation.
Although Nangong Xuan and Nangong Qing had started to cultivate the Longevity Supreme Scripture, it wasn't that easy to comprehend a Martial Dao Master. Ling Xiao's lecture enlightened them.
Ling Xiao taught the First Elder a secret technique to raise his mental strength. The First Elder was incomparably excited and almost knelt down to acknowledge Ling Xiao as his master. In the end, he was stopped by Ling Xiao.
What a joke. Ling Xiao had already taken in Jiao Mu. He hadn't even taken in a single true disciple. If he took in a few old men, how could he agree?
On the other hand, Jian Wuque was born with a sword body. His heart was incomparably firm. Ling Xiao didn't teach him any powerful martial arts. He only taught him his insights on sword intent.
Deng Yalin also learned the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist that he had been yearning for. He shouted excitedly, full of vigor.
Everything in the Longevity Sect was developing in a good direction.
However, Ling Xiao had to leave.
