The Thousand Beast City was an ancient city with ten thousand years of history. It was once superior to the Northwest, and its fame spread far and wide.
It had once declined, but now it was rising again.
Although it could not be compared to its heyday, it could still be considered a first class city in the Northwest.
In the vast northwest, only an ancient and prosperous city like this could have a transmission array.
The transmission array in the Thousand Beast City was open to the public, and it was located in an open space outside the city gate.
All along, this transmission array had been controlled by the three major forces in the city.
They collected high rewards from the cultivators who came and went to strengthen their family's wealth and foundation.
But the price to use the transmission array was very high, and ordinary people could not afford it.
Those who could use the transmission array alone were not experts of King Level and above, or disciples of big clans.
If ordinary people wanted to use the transmission array, they could only wait for others to come with them, or if someone was willing to go with them.
After Ling Xiao bought a batch of Spirit Herbs and Beast Cores, he went outside the city.
At this time, there were many people gathered around the transmission array.
These people were at least Spirit Master level, and some of them were even low level King Level. From the looks of it, they were all waiting to use the transmission array.
In front of the transmission array, there were more than ten people guarding it. Among them, there were four old men who had reached King Level, two were low level King Level, two were middle level King Level, and the rest were Human Level Spirit Masters.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, "The strength of these three forces is not to be underestimated."
Ling Xiao walked up and asked the old man sitting on the chair, "Old mister, when will this transmission array be activated?"
The old man raised his eyes slightly and did not speak. But just as he was about to close his eyes, his murky old eyes shone brightly, and he jumped up, "Little brother, where do you want to go?"
This old man had the strength of a middle level King Level, and was the strongest here. He was also the person in charge of the transmission array.
He did not want to deal with ordinary people, but he did not expect this young man in front of him to ask him.
He did not want to bother with him, and let his other subordinates deal with him, but he found that this young man in front of him had the strength of a King Level, and this made him take it seriously.
"I want to go to the border of the Southern Wasteland." Ling Xiao replied.
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "The closest place to the Southern Wasteland should be the border between the Dragon Sea Pavilion and the Great River Sect, Nantian City. Nantian City is quite far from here, and there aren't many people coming and going. If you really want to go there, you'll have to pay five thousand low-grade Mysterious Crystals in addition to the beast cores you need."
"Five thousand Lower Grade Mysterious Crystals?
It's really expensive, "Ling Xiao muttered in his heart.
An ordinary person would not be able to take out so many Glazed Crystals. Fortunately, Ling Xiao had plenty of Glazed Crystals. Otherwise, he would not know what to do.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to pay the Xuan Crystals and leave, a figure dashed over from afar.
"Eighth Elder, please wait." That figure arrived in front of the old man and said respectfully.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He knew that someone was following him when he came out of the Lu Residence.
He also knew that they were sent by the two families.
He sensed that the person following him was only a Spirit Master, so he ignored him.
In any case, he felt that as long as he left this place, he would not have any interaction with the two families.
However, looking at the current situation, it seemed that they did not want him to leave!
The middle-aged man whispered in front of the old man for a while, and the old man looked at Ling Xiao with a slightly complicated expression.
When the middle-aged man finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and let the middle-aged man stand to the side.
Ling Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that the old man wants to make things difficult for me?"
The old man revealed a troubled expression and said, "Little brother, you should come with me to my young master and apologize. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't let you leave."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I have no intention of becoming enemies with your young master. Furthermore, I did not hurt anyone. They were the ones who attacked first. Is this also my fault?"
Ling Xiao did not want to act rashly. This was the other party's territory after all. If they really caused trouble, he would not stand to gain much as he still needed to use the other party's Teleportation Formation to leave this place.
"I also believe that there must be a misunderstanding and that's why I am so bold as to ask little brother to stay for a few days. After you meet with my young master, I think my young master will not make things difficult for you!" The old man said softly.
Although his tone was tactful, but it was not to be refused.
Ling Xiao replied, "Doesn't the old man think that this is a little too much?
Do you think that everything in the Thousand Beast City is decided by your words? "
"I wouldn't dare to say that in other places, but here in the Thousand Beast City, our Zhao Family has the final say!" The old man was beginning to get impatient and an overbearing aura began to rise.
At this moment, the three King level and ten Spirit Masters on the side noticed that something was wrong.
Everyone immediately surrounded them.
The middle aged man who had followed Ling Xiao all the way here said to the people who were waiting to depart: "Everyone, the Teleportation Formation will be temporarily sealed for today. I would like to invite all of you to return to the city and wait."
The moment those words fell, the others did not dare to raise any objections and they turned to return to the city.
In the Thousand Beast City, no one dared to offend the people from the three major powers.
Ling Xiao's face gradually darkened. He had been patient and forbearing but the other party had been too forceful. A ball of rage rose in his heart.
"This old man will say it one more time. You had better come back with me to apologise to my young master or don't even think of leaving this place!" The old man said softly.
Ling Xiao did not say another word and his aura surged. His body glowed with a noble golden hue and he looked like a member of royalty, making the people around him feel an urge to worship him.
"Don't force me to start a massacre!" Ling Xiao said softly, his body slowly rising off the ground.
Everyone stared at Ling Xiao, who was flying into the air, with shocked expressions on their faces.
It was rare to see such a young King level fighter.
"Young people shouldn't get angry so easily, or they might die prematurely!" The old man's eyes flashed and his surroundings glowed with a blue light as he flew up into the air as well.
At the same time, the other three King level fighters surrounded Ling Xiao from three different directions.
The middle aged man below shouted: "Four Elders! Please capture this thief!"
"Nonsense!" Ling Xiao's voice boomed like thunder, his eyes flashing like lightning. A wave of King level pressure pressed down on the middle aged man.
Ling Xiao had been studying the word "tomb" in the mystic realm and he had gained a certain level of understanding and application of "power".
The invisible pressure he produced was like a heavy punch, smashing heavily onto the middle aged man's chest.
"Wah!"
The middle aged man was caught off guard and his chest caved in. His entire body flew far away, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"How dare you!" The old man exclaimed and with a wave of his hand, a blue wave swept towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao stood there motionlessly, allowing the blue wave to strike his body.
There was a rumbling sound and a dazzling light blossomed.
"Courting death …" The old man was just about to say something disdainfully, but he couldn't bring himself to say the word "live".
That was because he saw that Ling Xiao was still standing upright in midair, as if he hadn't suffered any injuries at all.
"Old thing, you forced me to do this!" Ling Xiao scolded. He left an afterimage where he had been standing, and his real body had already appeared in front of the old man. His fist that was like gold smashed towards the old man's chest.
"So fast!" The old man's heart trembled, and his withered hand reached out to grab the golden fist.
He was a mid King level fighter, and he didn't think that the young man in front of him could fight him head on.
Crack!
"Ah!"
The sound of bones breaking rang out, followed by a miserable scream.
The old man covered his hand as he flew backwards, his face incomparably pale.
"Quick, let's get rid of this kid together!" The old man shouted at his three companions in shock.
The other three recovered from their shock, and they all displayed their powerful strength. They gathered the spiritual energy in their surroundings and formed weapons that shot towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's speed was incomparably fast, and he used strange and agile footwork to dodge the attacks one after another.
"It looks like I'll have to be ruthless!" Ling Xiao saw that the other side had already revealed killing intent, so he didn't hold back. His figure moved like the wind as he chased after the injured old man.
Although the old man's arm was injured, he wouldn't just sit and wait for death. A whip suddenly appeared in his hand.
The whip had a total of nine sections, and each section had sharp teeth that flickered with light.
The whip was like a bloodthirsty spirit snake, and it shot towards Ling Xiao's waist.
Unfortunately, it only managed to bind an afterimage.
Ling Xiao had already circled behind the old man, and his golden fist smashed towards the old man's head.
The old man's Dark Protection Force was directly shattered, and his head was smashed into pieces like a watermelon.
Ling Xiao cultivated all five elements at the same time, so his strength was naturally five times that of others in the same realm. Even a mid-stage King Stage cultivator wasn't a threat to him.
The other three King Stage cultivators were both shocked and angry when they saw the old man's head explode. They all took out their profound artifacts and prepared to use all their strength to kill Ling Xiao.
The other mid-stage King Stage cultivator who hadn't died roared, "You two, lock him down! Let me take revenge for my big brother!"
The two low-stage King Stage cultivators received the order and instantly used their most powerful attacks.
One of them waved his Ghost Axe, and crimson flames instantly enveloped one direction; the other swung out countless spear shadows like rain, sealing the other direction.
Suddenly, the sky became bright and abnormally hot.
The two low-stage King Stage cultivators sealed the direction, and the mid-stage King Stage cultivator took the opportunity to gather his energy.
He held a longsword in his hand, and blue light suddenly appeared around his body. Spiritual energy gathered together, as if forming a vast ocean with him as the center.
"Raging Waves of the Sea." When he had accumulated his strength to the peak, the long sword rushed towards the trapped Ling Xiao.
The spiritual energy was like a tsunami, and some of the surrounding trees were sent flying and collapsed. Its power was terrifying!
Ling Xiao's expression became slightly suspicious. His body was covered in a five-colored divine light, and the Ice and Fire Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
The third move of the Tyrant Style, "Sword Meteor!"
Waves of beautiful blue flames fell down like meteors, blasting towards the sea of fire and the waves in all directions.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A huge amount of spiritual energy exploded in midair, and a mushroom-like shape soared into the sky.
The smoke dissipated, but the figure was still flashing.
Ling Xiao's clothes were torn, and his naked body was shining brightly. The bleeding wounds were healing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Die!"
The mid-stage King Stage cultivator had just used up a lot of energy, but he still held back. He immediately arrived above Ling Xiao and swung his longsword down like lightning.
The other two low-stage King Stage cultivators also took the opportunity to attack from the left and right, wanting to take Ling Xiao's life.
