A King Rank expert could be considered as an expert in the northwest, and he was a figure that any sect would attach importance to.
However, martial artists with such strength could be found everywhere in the central territory. They could only be considered to have just taken the first step on the path of becoming an expert. They were middle and lower level martial artists in the central territory, and they were far from being experts.
For a super expert at Ling Xiao's level, a King Rank attack was not worth mentioning.
Ling Xiao didn't need to resist Xin Li's full strength attack at all, and the aura he emitted instantly dispersed the energy blasted by Xin Li.
However, Xin Li's attack didn't stop completely. He didn't know that it was Ling Xiao who was above, and he thought it was an enemy that had come to attack. A High Rank Profound Weapon appeared in his hand, and with a loud shout, he flew up swiftly like an arrow. He didn't wait to see who the opponent was, and directly used the Moon Severing Sword Technique to slash at Ling Xiao.
Streaks of powerful green light shot out from all directions, causing the surrounding air to scatter to the sides. The Saber Force was quite powerful.
When Ling Xiao saw Xin Li use the Moon Severing Sword Technique, he noticed that Xin Li had grasped a bit of its essence. He knew that Xin Li had certainly put in a lot of effort in cultivation, and his satisfaction towards Xin Li rose a bit.
"Since you're itchy, Master will play with you!"
Ling Xiao suppressed his strength to the state of Low Rank King Rank, and he raised a finger to meet the saber lights.
When the surrounding elders of the Purple Sky Sect saw Ling Xiao actually use his finger to meet Xin Li's attack, they couldn't help but feel that Ling Xiao was too careless.
After all, Xin Li was a genuine King Rank expert, and even an Earthly Emperor didn't dare to directly use his physical body to resist the attack of a King Rank Profound Weapon with a High Rank Profound Weapon!
However, in the next moment, they were all dumbstruck!
They saw Ling Xiao's expression was very relaxed, and his finger was like a High Rank Spirit Weapon. He waved it casually, and the saber lights that Xin Li blasted were dispersed by him.
Xin Li was also incomparably shocked. He had already arrived in front of Ling Xiao and was about to slash Ling Xiao horizontally. It was also at this moment that he clearly saw Ling Xiao's face.
"Master!" Xin Li paused and retracted his Profound Weapon. His eyes widened as he looked at Ling Xiao and exclaimed, "Master!"
Ling Xiao's appearance hadn't changed at all from ten years ago. The only thing that had changed was his temperament.
Ling Xiao was the most grateful person in Xin Li's heart. Without Ling Xiao, he was afraid that he would already be dead. How could he have the opportunity to cultivate like a normal martial artist, let alone the position of Purple Heaven Sect's Chief True Disciple.
Ling Xiao could be said to be Xin Li's master and savior. No matter how much guidance Ling Xiao had given Xin Li, it would never change the position of Ling Xiao in Xin Li's heart.
Suddenly discovering that the person in front of him was his master, it would be strange if Xin Li wasn't surprised.
"Don't make a fuss. Now that you have just broken through, you have to quickly familiarize yourself with using Spirit Qi to attack. You use all your strength to attack your master. Let me see if you have put in hard work these years!" Ling Xiao said lightly.
"This … Then I ask Master to take this move!" Xin Li hesitated for a moment, but then he still listened to Ling Xiao's words.
He had long known that his master was extraordinary. Although he was strong, the difference between him and his master was not small. Since his master had the intention to guide him, it was his honor.
Xin Li used all his strength to make a move, and a sword light swept towards Ling Xiao.
Although Ling Xiao suppressed his realm, his eyes and ears were extraordinary. He could see through Xin Li's flaws with a glance. His finger turned into a sword and pointed towards Xin Li's flaws. At the same time, he shouted, "The upper body attack is not bad, but the lower body defense is wrong."
Ling Xiao lowered his body to avoid Xin Li's sword light, and his finger pointed at Xin Li's thigh.
Xin Li was not very flustered, and immediately changed his move to seal off Ling Xiao's path. At the same time, he also backhanded straight to Ling Xiao's middle.
Ling Xiao was quite satisfied with Xin Li's quick response. He used his finger to block the sword weapon, and at the same time, he leaned towards Xin Li's left shoulder. He said, "The left side is out of position, and you can't attack and defend at the same time. This is a deficiency!"
Xin Li was a little panicked. When he wanted to defend, Ling Xiao had already patted his left shoulder.
Ling Xiao did not use his strength at all, just to let Xin Li know that he was lacking.
Xin Li was a little anxious, and he began to raise his spirit to deal with Ling Xiao.
Unfortunately, no matter how he attacked, in Ling Xiao's eyes, he still found many shortcomings.
Xin Li was also ashamed to realize the shortcomings of his previous practice, and many sword moves were perfected.
The surrounding elders of the Purple Sky Sect all stared at all of this with wide eyes.
They were shocked by the strength of Ling Xiao's finger. He was actually able to directly knock on a high grade profound weapon and nothing happened.
Besides that, he'd actually only utilized a single hand to force Xin Li who'd just attained the King Rank to be in dire straits. Such ability wasn't something that an ordinary person could accomplish.
"Xiao 'er, you've improved a lot this time!" Mu Huai said with a satisfied smile.
Xiao Songlin said from the side, "He has already far surpassed us old men. This Tenbin is really monstrous. I really don't know how he survived these ten years. He must have suffered a lot!"
Mu 'en, who had also flown to their side, also exclaimed, "This kid can cause trouble wherever he goes. It seems like the northwest is no longer in his eyes."
On the other side, Yun Xiong, Xu Jianfei, Zhao Mingyuan, Wen Haiyan, Nangong Changle … and the others also discussed softly. Their faces were filled with joy, but there was also some reverence.
After all, if it were any of them, it would be impossible for them to block that high grade profound weapon with a single finger.
After a few hundred moves, Ling Xiao discovered that Xin Li had already fused most of the moves he had practiced before. He immediately pushed him away and said, "Alright, next, I'll practice a little more and improve on my shortcomings. Then, I'll be able to achieve a perfect state of both offense and defense."
Xin Li withdrew his move and took a few deep breaths. Then, he knelt down heavily on the ground and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help!"
He finally understood why he was able to break through to the King Stage in the past two days. Who else could the large amount of spiritual energy around him be other than his master? Now that his master had given him pointers on his moves, just these two things were enough to move him endlessly.
He hadn't taught him for ten years, but he had only taught him once, and it had already benefited him greatly.
"Get up, you're not bad. In ten years, you've reached such a realm. It's not in vain that your Grand Master has taught you. I'm ashamed!" Ling Xiao said somewhat embarrassedly.
He didn't teach his own disciple anything, but he made him stay in the Purple Heaven Sect. In his heart, he couldn't accept Xin Li's bow!
"Greetings, Master Ling!" Sun Xiaonan also ran over from the other side and bowed to Ling Xiao.
"Hehe, it's Xiaonan, right? You've grown up so much. Your master is here too. I'll take you to see her later!" Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
Then, he flashed in front of Xiao Songlin, Mu Huai, and Mu En, bowed and said, "Greetings, Grand Master, Master, and Martial Uncle!"
Mu Huai laughed loudly and heavily patted Ling Xiao's shoulder. "Good … good boy, it's good that you're back!"
Xiao Songlin also revealed a rare expression of joy. "It seems that you've gained a lot in the past ten years. Grand Master is deeply gratified."
Mu 'en also said, "Xiao' er, now that you're back, stay here for a while. Everyone in my sect is thinking of you."
Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern. Xiao 'er is fine!"
Mu Huai glanced at Yun Xiong who was not far away, pulled Ling Xiao's hand and said, "Come, come … How can you not greet the Sect Leader when you return to the sect!"
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still followed Mu Huai to Yun Xiong's side. He maintained the basic etiquette and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Yun!"
His current power was much stronger than the Purple Heaven Sect. With his status, taking the initiative to greet Yun Xiong was already lowering his status. If it wasn't for his master's face and Yun Mengqi's face, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
Everyone present knew that Ling Xiao had resentment towards the Sect Leader and many others, and they all felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
However, Ling Xiao's strength was there, so they didn't dare to say anything.
Yun Xiong's first sentence was to ask, "Elder Ling, where is Mengqi?"
He had once thought that Ling Xiao should be together with Yun Mengqi, but now that he only saw Bing Ruoshui and Ji Beixin, and no sign of his daughter, it would be strange if he wasn't worried.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly and replied, "I haven't been able to find Mengqi all these years, and I don't know where she is now!"
Ever since he had taken over Wind Cloud City, he had started to release news for people to search for Yun Mengqi's whereabouts. Unfortunately, he had only found an unrelated woman with the same name and surname, and was not the Yun Mengqi he was looking for.
He was also afraid that something bad had happened to Yun Mengqi!
"You … What did you say? You didn't find Mengqi?" Yun Xiong asked excitedly.
"That's right, it's a long story. I've been looking for her for a whole ten years!" Ling Xiao sighed heavily.
Yun Xiong's expression turned ugly. Just as he wanted to say something, Mu Huai said from the side, "Sect Leader, if you have any questions, let's go inside first."
Thus, everyone entered the main hall of Wooden Flag Peak.
Ji Beixin took the opportunity to ask Mu Huai about her grandfather, Ji Tu.
It turned out that Ji Tu was not in the mountain for the time being. He had gone out to handle some matters and would be back soon.
Only then did Ji Beixin relax. She had thought that something had happened to her grandfather, but he wasn't here.
When they arrived at the main hall, Ling Xiao roughly explained Yun Mengqi's situation to Yun Xiong.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Yun Xiong that Yin He wanted to use Yun Mengqi as a cultivation furnace. He only said that he couldn't find the two of them at the Dark Water Sect.
The reason he said this was to calm Yun Xiong down so that he wouldn't suffer a huge blow.
"Sect Leader, it seems like Mengqi is fine. She might be cultivating with her master somewhere. Maybe she will return to the Purple Sky Sect to take a look after a while." Mu Huai said to Yun Xiong from the side.
Ling Xiao sighed, "The Central Region is vast and boundless. Trying to find a person is like finding a needle in a haystack. I also hope that Mengqi can return to the northwest as soon as possible."
Yun Xiong glanced at Ling Xiao. He couldn't determine if what Ling Xiao said was true or false, so he could only think of it this way.
"Oh right, Xiao 'er, do you still plan on leaving this time?" Xiao Songlin cut to the chase and asked.
