"Elder Hua, he knows he's sinful and has been converted by my persuasion. He's now willing to surrender to the Proud Smiling Palace." Ling Xiao smiled.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Hua Baihe that he had used a mental curse to control him.
Hua Baihe and Granny Bi both revealed expressions of disbelief. They were both experienced people and naturally wouldn't believe Ling Xiao's words. However, they couldn't guess if there was something fishy going on.
They just felt that Ling Xiao was becoming more and more mysterious. They were now on guard against him.
It would be depressing if they were accidentally persuaded to follow him by his "earnest and well-intentioned" persuasion.
Afterward, Ling Xiao used Ouyang Chao to 'kidnap' himself into the city. The Ouyang clansmen thought Ling Xiao had been captured and cheered without any precaution.
Ling Xiao then led the Lion Tiger Beast and Ouyang Chao to defeat or control the Ouyang clansmen who had reached the Mystic Thearch realm.
The Ouyang clansmen all thought that Ouyang Chao had betrayed the clan and cursed him. They didn't want to fight anymore and most of them fled in all directions.
Ling Xiao then sent a message to the people waiting outside and began to kill the Ouyang clansmen.
Although the Ouyang clansmen were many, they weren't as united as before. They were all killed by the Proud Smiling Palace and the Myriad Flower Sect.
Ling Xiao didn't bother with the aftermath and had Ouyang Chao bring him into the Ouyang clan's spatial zone.
That was where the direct descendants of the Ouyang clansmen resided.
Ling Xiao ordered Zu Xiu, Geng Hong, Chi Gang, and Cruel Leopard to massacre the Ouyang clansmen.
There was no such thing as mercy in a war between two great powers.
If the Proud Smiling Palace couldn't withstand the Ouyang clansmen's army, it would've been massacred as well.
"I don't want to be so ruthless, but who knows whether or not there will be a genius from the Ouyang Clan who will seek revenge on the Proud Smiling Palace in the future. So, don't blame me for being merciless. All of this is because you provoked me first!" Ling Xiao murmured.
He brought Ouyang Chao to the place where the Ouyang Clan hid their treasures and collected all the profound skills and spiritual items.
There were a lot of good things in there. It could be considered as enriching the resources of the Proud Smiling Palace.
A day later, all the important direct descendants of the Ouyang Clan were annihilated without a single survivor.
Before Ling Xiao left the Ouyang Clan's space base, he ordered Ouyang Chao to dig out all the space stones in the base.
The Ouyang Clan, one of the Twenty Great Forces, was removed from the Central Region.
Ling Xiao had brought a thousand men here, but less than two hundred of them had died.
This achievement was enough to shake the world.
Hua Baihe and Granny Bi admired Ling Xiao even more.
With such decisiveness and courage at such a young age, the Central Region would probably be his in the future!
Ling Xiao first sent his people back to the Proud Smiling Palace. He still had to go to the Wanhua Sect to refine the Saint Elixir for them.
However, when Ling Xiao, Hua Baihe, and Granny Bi were about to leave the Ouyang Clan's territory, a few powerful auras shuttled through the space.
Granny Bi saw the person leading the group and exclaimed, "Oh no, it's the people from the Ghost Sect!"
"Don't bother with them, let's go!"
Hua Baihe knew that the other party must have come for Ling Xiao. Without saying anything, she grabbed Ling Xiao's shoulder and started to escape.
In fact, Ling Xiao wanted to say that he was not afraid of them, but he did not have the time to explain.
"Flower Fairy, why are you in such a hurry? Put Palace Master Ling down first. We need to talk to him!" Fu Zhen intercepted Hua Baihe at full speed.
At the same time, there were four people behind him. Two of them were Saints from the Ghost Sect, and the other two were Gu Lei and Gu Mo from the Gu Clan.
It seemed that they knew that Ling Xiao did not have many helpers this time, so they planned to kill him first and get their hands on his Divine Weapon.
The five Saints quickly surrounded Ling Xiao, Ouyang Chao, Hua Baihe, and Granny Bi.
"Fu Zhen, why is the Ghost Sect so aggressive!" Hua Baihe looked at Fu Zhen and said.
"Flower Fairy, this is not your business. You'd better step aside first. It would be bad if you get hurt by accident!" Gu Lei was the first to speak.
"Are you sure you can defeat me?" Ling Xiao did not panic at all as he looked at them and replied.
"Hmph, so what if you have a Divine Weapon? Do you think you can kill us instantly?
With our strength, it should not be a problem for us to keep you here! "Fu Zhen snorted coldly.
Gu Lei looked at Ouyang Chao and said, "That's right. Brother Ouyang, don't just stand there. Hurry up and take that guy down. We will help you. I don't think they would dare to act recklessly."
He thought that Ouyang Chao was being held hostage by Ling Xiao and the others, so he said that.
"Haha, it seems like you still don't understand the situation." Ling Xiao laughed, then turned to Ouyang Chao, "Go, tell them if you need help or not!"
Although Ouyang Chao was only a low-level Saint, his sudden attack caught Gu Lei off guard.
Although Ouyang Chao was only a low-level Saint, his sudden attack caught Gu Lei off guard.
"Ouyang Chao, what are you doing!" Gu Lei instantly retreated and exclaimed.
Ouyang Chao ignored him and continued to attack with the spear in his hand.
Gu Lei was infuriated. A lightning field appeared around him in an instant. A lightning spear appeared in his hand and he fought with Ouyang Chao.
"You actually subdued Ouyang Chao. You have some tricks up your sleeve. Let's attack together. Don't give this guy any chance!" Fu Zhen said faintly and a terrifying energy burst out like a mountain flood.
"I owe Saint Master Ling a favor. I can't just stand by and watch him die. Please forgive me!" Hua Baihe said and a silver-white Holy Sword appeared in her hand.
At the same time, an Intermediate Eighth Stage Spotted Leopard appeared in front of her.
Granny Bi also made her move. She used a cold weapon, a female scimitar, and her Spirit Beast was an Intermediate Eighth Stage Phantom Fox.
Both of them were Intermediate Saints. Granny Bi was at the peak of Intermediate Saint. Her combat strength was quite extraordinary.
Apart from Fu Zhen, there was another Intermediate Saint on the Ghost Darkness Sect's side. The other was a low-level Saint like Gu Mo.
Whether it was in terms of strength or numbers, they were clearly much stronger than Ling Xiao and the others.
"Li Zigang, confine that guy first. Don't let him use his Divine Weapon!" Fu Zhen knew how powerful Ling Xiao's Sky Suppressing Drum was, so he immediately ordered his low-level Saint.
"Hehe, you want to confine me?
You're not qualified! "Ling Xiao patted the Lion Tiger Beast beside him and ordered it to pounce on Li Zigang.
Li Zigang did not dare to be slow. He had already ordered his Snow Wolf to meet the Lion Tiger Beast.
"Come on, I'll play with you before everyone else arrives!"
Ling Xiao revealed a battle-hungry expression. He licked his thick lips and his dragon-shaped Battle Qi rose. He turned into a half-dragon and his combat strength rose to a terrifying level.
Li Zigang did not expect Ling Xiao to become so terrifying in an instant. However, as a low-level Saint, he was not afraid of Ling Xiao. After all, Ling Xiao had not taken out the Divine Drum yet.
Li Zigang cultivated the Ice Attribute. Every move he made was accompanied by icicles that stabbed towards Ling Xiao's vital points.
Ling Xiao's defense was amazing. He was not afraid of any attacks. He used the Tyrant Dragon Spear Technique with all his might.
A peerless True Dragon soared into the sky and destroyed all the icicles around it.
Li Zigang thought to himself, "This kid is actually so powerful!"
Li Zigang didn't dare to be careless. He released all the power in his body. The Saint's use of the power of space was quite exquisite. Icebergs appeared from the cracks in space, wrapping around Ling Xiao and the peerless dragon he had brought out, and kept colliding with them.
Rumble, rumble!
Ling Xiao was smashed by these icebergs until he was dizzy. However, he did not suffer much damage.
Ling Xiao brandished his Golden Dragon Spear and smashed a path through these icebergs.
At the same time, he suddenly pointed at Li Zigang.
Three-split Divine Finger — Jade Splitting Gold!
This finger contained all of Ling Xiao's strength. It also contained the energy of the Heavenly Fire.
The finger radiance cut through the sky. It was abnormally overbearing.
Li Zigang did not have time to dodge. He could only condense a large patch of ice crystals in front of him.
However, these ice crystals were not enough. They were directly penetrated by the finger radiance and closed in on Jiang Yi's chest.
Finally, Jiang Yi's Dark Protection Force blocked the finger radiance. However, he was still sent flying by that powerful energy. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Fortunately, he was not touched by the Heavenly Fire. Otherwise, he would not have just spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ling Xiao took the opportunity to pursue. He brandished his Golden Dragon Spear continuously. Peerless True Dragons appeared. They roared for thousands of miles and shook the world.
These metal-piercing True Dragon energy kept on bombarding Li Zigang.
Rumble, rumble!
The terrifying sound of explosions rang out incessantly.
Li Zigang felt extremely sullen. He was a peerless saint, but he was actually beaten by a high-level Mystic Thearch to the point where he didn't even have the strength to retaliate. If word of this got out, he wouldn't know where to put his old face.
"Kid, you have infuriated this Saint. I will seal you in ice forever!"
Li Zigang shouted angrily. He shook off Ling Xiao's attack and kept his weapon. He opened up both his palms at the same time. Layers of icy cold air wrapped around Ling Xiao.
The icy cold air sealed Ling Xiao within. Finally, it started to condense into ice crystals. Ling Xiao's body was completely frozen.
In just a moment, Ling Xiao was like an ice sculpture. He was frozen in an ice mountain and was unable to move.
Li Zigang didn't think that he could completely seal Ling Xiao in this way. He kept making hand seals and absorbing the cold air around him. Layer by layer, the iceberg was getting thicker and firmer.
The ice mountain, which was originally only tens of meters in size, gradually became two to three hundred meters tall. It looked very majestic.
"Haha, although your combat strength is not weak, you are still far from being able to fight with us Saints!" Li Zigang laughed heartily.
He believed that after Ling Xiao was sealed in ice for a period of time, he would definitely lose his vitality or become incomparably weak. By then, wouldn't he be at their mercy?
However, just as his laughter stopped, the hundreds of meters tall ice mountain actually started to melt and shrink.
