Fan Guanzhang would never have thought that Ling Xiao would lower himself to visit him.
However, the truth was right in front of him, and it made him very excited.
He knew about Ling Xiao's situation from Lie Zan. It turned out that back then, Ling Xiao was just a guest of the Blazing Flame Merchants and was brought to Dragon Gate.
In addition, Ling Xiao also had a shocking identity. He was the descendant of the Kim people!
After knowing these secrets, Fan Guanzhang felt that Ling Xiao would definitely soar to the sky!
However, he did not expect Ling Xiao to reach this stage in just a few decades. This was a miracle!
At first, he thought that the Senjin Of Goguryeo's Ling Xiao had the same name as the Ling Xiao he knew. However, when the Senjin Of Goguryeo list showed Ling Xiao's profile picture, he was finally sure that it was the Ling Xiao he knew!
Now that he saw Ling Xiao again, Fan Guanzhang could not wait to become Ling Xiao's slave!
Following such a monster, the Senjin Of Goguryeo's future would be bright!
Ling Xiao gently supported Fan Guanzhang with his qi and said, "Governor Fan, there's no need to be like this. We're old friends, so let's not be so formal. Today, you and I are just catching up. Governor Fan, please invite Manager Lie Zan over. Let's have a drink together!"
Ling Xiao's status was different from the past. Those who were not familiar with him were naturally in awe of him.
Although he did not mind lowering himself to drink and have fun with them, they could no longer do as they pleased as before.
Fan Guanzhang immediately ordered people to prepare a lavish banquet. He also sent a trusted aide to quickly invite the Blazing Flame Merchants's Manager Lie Zan over.
Lie Zan was a Demigod King and was a top-notch expert in Shi Tian City. He was also the most respected person in Shi Tian City.
Most people wouldn't be able to invite him, but over the years, he had gotten along well with Officer Fan. Officer Fan didn't personally invite him, nor did he explain why he was here. This made him a little unhappy.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he still hurried over.
When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he saw that the person sitting on the main seat was not Officer Fan, but someone else.
He was flabbergasted, but when he saw who it was, he shivered and sped up several times. "It's … it's Ling … Elder Ling Xiao!"
"Manager Lie Zan, how have you been?" Ling Xiao stood up and greeted Lie Zan.
To be honest, if Lie Zan had not deliberately invited him to join the Blazing Flame Merchants, he would not have returned to the clan's land and achieved what he had today so quickly.
Lie Zan confirmed that the person before him was Ling Xiao, and he was overjoyed in his heart.
"Greetings, Elder Ling Xiao!" Lie Zan bowed and greeted Ling Xiao.
Although Ling Xiao was a member of Dragon Gate, he was a guest elder of the Blazing Flame Merchants, so it was only right for Lie Zan to address him as such.
Ling Xiao didn't think much of Lie Zan's greeting. After all, his status was higher than Lie Zan's. However, Ling Xiao still supported Lie Zan and helped him up, "Manager Lie Zan, you don't have to be so courteous. If you hadn't introduced me to the Merchant Union that day, Ling Xiao wouldn't be here today." He paused for a moment, then two divine pills and two divine weapons appeared in his hand. He flew them to Lie Zan and Officer Fan respectively, "These Divine King Pills and divine weapons are gifts from Ling Xiao to the two of you!"
Lie Zan had been stuck at the Demigod King Realm for many years, and Fan Guanzhang had also been stuck at the peak of the Holy Emperor Realm for a long time. These two Divine King Pills were divine items that they had been dreaming of for their entire lives.
Now that Ling Xiao had given them to them so casually, along with a divine weapon, they were even more ecstatic.
The two excitedly accepted the divine pills and divine weapons, and were about to kneel to Ling Xiao to thank him, but Ling Xiao stopped them.
Afterward, the three of them drank and chatted in the hall, but it was all Lie Zan and Officer Fan's flattering words to Ling Xiao, so Ling Xiao no longer had the feeling that he was happy with them.
After coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Xiao couldn't raise his spirits at all.
He was thinking, could it be that as one's strength increased, the distance between people could be widened?
Whoever's fist was harder would be the ruler. The weak would be eliminated, and the strong would rise!
However, everyone was once a weakling. When they stood out from the crowd, would friends no longer be friends, and brothers no longer be brothers?
Was it the nature of the world that only the weak would suck up to the strong, and live by the strong's face?
Ling Xiao was confused. He was afraid that when he returned to Xuanling Continent, his family would also treat him the same way. Then, what was the point of pursuing everything he had now?
Unknowingly, Ling Xiao had already arrived outside the city. He didn't notice that there was a group of people rushing out of the Stone Heaven City's spatial formation.
And the group of people happened to be heading in the same direction as him, to the stone forest outside the city.
Ling Xiao was wondering if he should go and see Old Man Tian, but now that his mind was in a mess, he didn't want to go for the time being.
He walked on foot. His speed wasn't very fast, but he soon reached the outside of the city.
Ying Bao, Ying Jian, and the others came from the sky behind him.
They had all concealed their aura, but their speed was so fast that it made people's jaws drop.
"Ah, that looks like that little bastard Ling Xiao!"
Ying Jian, who was in the sky, glanced down and shouted. Then, he mumbled, "Why is he here?"
The Dark Shadow Clan's people quickly fixed their eyes on Ling Xiao.
"It's the Dragon-Phoenix Demonic Hoop. I got it without any effort!" Ying Bao said excitedly.
Then, he dived down from the sky and pounced in Ling Xiao's direction. A Quasi Ancient Divine Weapon appeared in his hand, and he thrust it at Ling Xiao's head.
He was like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, moving as fast as lightning. He wanted to end Ling Xiao's life in one move. He didn't want to give Ling Xiao any chance to counterattack.
Because he knew how powerful the Dragon-Phoenix Demonic Hoop was. It was an existence that could kill anyone instantly.
Ling Xiao was absent-minded, but at the moment of danger, he could still feel it.
Unfortunately, the other party was already above his head in the blink of an eye. That long sword had already pierced through his head.
"Die for me!"
Ying Bao looked ferocious. He roared in fear, pouring all of his energy into the long sword. A long rainbow struck Ling Xiao's head in just a blink of an eye.
Even a Half Incipient God Realm expert would be smashed to death if he got ambushed by this attack!
Shadow Leopard only knew that the Dragon-Phoenix Demonic Hoop possessed a soul power attack that no one could defend against. However, he didn't know that the Dragon-Phoenix Demonic Hoop possessed not only a miraculous soul power attack, but also an abnormal defensive power. Only a peak-level Sovereign could destroy Ling Xiao's brain.
Boom Boom!
Ling Xiao's entire body was smashed several thousand meters deep into the ground. His entire body was dizzy and his head was spinning!
Without the defense of the Dragon-Phoenix Demonic Hoop, no matter how strong his body was or how tough his head was, he would have been dead already.
He sighed inwardly. "I'm lucky." He hurried to pull himself together and prepare.
"He's not dead yet. It's worthy of being an Ancient Divine Weapon!" Ying Bao complimented, the greed in his eyes thickening.
He locked on Ling Xiao's aura and attacked Ling Xiao one more time.
This time, he didn't attack Ling Xiao's head. Instead, he planned to destroy Ling Xiao's body first.
Ling Xiao felt the immense power, his heart still fluttering with fear.
He couldn't find the aura of the person who had ambushed him, so he couldn't use his soul power to counterattack. He could only use his God Soul clones to resist these attacks.
Waves of ear-piercing noises startled the people flying around. Dust flew everywhere as terrifying cracks appeared!
The people in Shi Heaven City were scared out of their wits. No one dared to come close to the battlefield to watch. Instead, they ran as far as they could.
A battle of that level could completely destroy their city and the surrounding area!
Fortunately, Ling Xiao still had some feelings for Shi Heaven City. He immediately used his God Soul clones to pull Ying Bao up to the sky to fight.
Finally, he knew who the intruder was. It was the Dark Shadow Clan's warrior. No wonder why he couldn't catch his aura.
'You've come at the right time. It's good that you can relieve my boredom!' Ling Xiao thought.
He hid his Divine Soul avatar and attacked the shadow leopard.
Ying Bao had never thought that the Senjin Kingdom Of Goguryeo could defeat him, a Half Incipient God Realm warrior who was infinitely close to the Great Master Realm.
However, when he was about to strike Ling Xiao, he found that Ling Xiao had disappeared.
"How could he disappear?
No, it's not right. He's still underground! "
The Shadow Leopard scanned the area with his Divine Sense, but he couldn't find any trace of Ling Xiao's Divine Soul Doppelganger. Instead, he found that Ling Xiao's real body was still underground, which made him very strange!
He didn't know who the person he had just fought was.
Apparently, that person had the same Half Incipient God Realm as him. And the one underground was just a high-level King God Realm warrior.
At this moment, Ying Bao didn't know that Ling Xiao's God Soul clones were stronger than his real body. Moreover, he could hide and attack.
Right when he was about to attack Ling Xiao's real body one more time, Ling Xiao's God Soul clones had attacked him.
The Subduing Dragon Palm mercilessly attacked Ying Bao's vital parts.
Boom Boom!
Ying Bao was attacked inexplicably. He was blown away.
If he didn't have the defensive divine armor, each of Ling Xiao's palm attacks was enough to hurt him badly.
Ying Bao immediately disappeared into the void, hiding his body. He had to know his current situation.
He couldn't understand why he had to suffer a big loss. It made him so upset.
At this moment, the warriors of the Dark Shadow Clan found that something was wrong.
"That bastard is cunning. Hurry and kill him!"
Ying Mo, the other Half Incipient God Realm warrior of the Dark Shadow Clan, screamed in fear, storming towards Ling Xiao's real body.
Of course, Ling Xiao wouldn't let him do that. His God Soul clones gave up attacking Ying Bao and turned around to attack Ying Mo.
Ying Mo was attacked inexplicably just like Ying Bao. However, he couldn't find the aura or figure of the attacker.
"Damn it! Third Brother Leopard, we should join hands to destroy everything here. I don't think we can't kill them all!"
Ying Mo was a cruel and merciless man. He shouted in alarm and waved his top-grade divine artifact to bombard the surrounding area.
Ying Bao knew what Ying Mo was thinking. He immediately moved with him. Many chaotic currents of wind appeared as if they wanted to destroy everything in this area!
The Dark Shadow warriors retreated as far as they could to avoid being affected!
