Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2267 - 2270: Indomitable Spirit of the Sha Clan
Ling Xiao was ironically relieved that Lin Haoyu’s promise couldn’t be kept, otherwise, he truly wouldn’t know how to face Cheng Feiying.
In this life, he only loved the Moon Lady. As for other girls, at most, they could be his confidantes.
If Lin Haoyu really wanted to marry Cheng Feiying to him, he wouldn’t know how to resolve it.
However, the words that followed from the Orange Immortal Mountain Master made Ling Xiao feel a bit displeased.
The Orange Immortal Mountain Master explained, "There was really no other option. The Clan Leader of the Sha Clan personally sent a betrothal gift to marry Fei Ying to Sha Mo Yun."
"Sha Mo Yun? Why is it him again? He’s merely Sha Hai’s bodyguard. How could he warrant the Clan Leader of the Sha Clan personally proposing on his behalf?"
Ling Xiao frowned and said.
"Exactly, I originally didn’t want to agree, but the other party is the Clan Leader of the Sha Clan. This time, because of you, the Sect punished Sha Hai, so in this matter, we can only turn a blind eye.
Alas!"
The Orange Immortal Mountain Master sighed.
It was clear he didn’t want his granddaughter to marry Sha Mo Yun.
"Is he targeting me?"
Ling Xiao sneered, "Knowing you said those words, he intentionally comes to propose. It’s clearly an attempt to slap me in the face, showing me that the Sha Clan calls the shots at Eight Immortals Mountain."
"That’s possible. After all, Sha Mo Yun was standing right there when I said those words."
The Orange Immortal Mountain Master nodded.
"Cheng Feiying, I’m sorry this time. That Sha Mo Yun is someone I need to deal with, so this marriage cannot happen."
Ling Xiao suddenly turned to Cheng Feiying and said.
"If you truly have that ability, I’d love to watch the show."
Cheng Feiying also disliked Sha Mo Yun. She had someone she loved in Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, but it was definitely not someone from the Sha Clan.
Unfortunately, this time, that person did not stand out to oppose her marriage to Sha Mo Yun, which left her somewhat disappointed.
Ling Xiao’s sudden rise gave her a glimmer of hope, making her feel an unusual kinship with this martial artist from a remote town.
...
After bidding farewell to everyone, Ling Xiao stepped into the Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall to exchange contribution points, trading thirteen Netherworld Weapons for 1,300 contribution points.
In this way, his contribution points reached 1,800!
In the entire Lower Eight Immortals Mountain disciples, this was definitely an astronomical figure.
With so many contribution points, Ling Xiao was no longer interested in tasks from the Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall.
After all, the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul was worth only 500 contribution points, and even after exchanging it, he’d have 1,300 points remaining.
This was more than enough for other things.
Just as he was planning to find Lin Haoyu to trade for the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul, his path was blocked by someone.
It turned out to be Sha Hai!
"Haha, if it isn’t Young Master Sha Hai. Having wasted a Nine Revolutions Life Returning Pill to save your little life, you should be resting well. What’s the point of coming out?"
Ling Xiao sneered at Sha Hai, his tone filled with sarcasm and mockery.
"Boom!"
Sha Hai didn’t utter a word but instead unleashed his powerful aura.
First Cycle of the Yin-Yang Realm, Hell Early Stage Cultivation!
"You’ve broken through?"
Ling Xiao frowned, surprised that Sha Hai had benefited from the misfortune, and it seemed that the Nine Revolutions Life Returning Pill not only saved lives but also improved one’s physique.
"That’s right, I’ve broken through. Are you afraid?"
Sha Hai looked at Ling Xiao coldly, now it was his turn to wear a mocking smirk.
"Afraid? Hahahahaha."
Ling Xiao laughed with great delight, "Has your foolishness not been cured yet? Last time you went against me, and I killed you. Fortunately, there was the Nine Revolutions Life Returning Pill to save your life.
Instead of cherishing it, you’re here challenging me again.
Seems like you’re prepared to die once more. But I suppose your Sha Clan no longer has any more of those pills."
"Laugh all you want now, but when I’ve consolidated my cultivation, see me at the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment.
Last time I lost to you, bad luck for me, but this time, you won’t stand a chance."
Sha Hai coldly left a remark and turned to leave.
Watching his departing figure, Ling Xiao’s expression gradually turned cold.
"You think your improvement in cultivation is heaven helping you? No, it’s more likely heaven was upset that I didn’t manage to kill you, and it’s giving me another chance!"
Ling Xiao coldly said.
With Sha Hai’s current cultivation, even if Ling Xiao’s cultivation didn’t advance, he could still kill him.
After all, when Yuan Nenɡ was gravely injured, he had similar strength, and yet, Ling Xiao had still defeated him.
However, even so, Ling Xiao was unsatisfied.
He needed to enhance his strength quickly to defeat Sha Hai decisively, leaving no illusion for Sha Hai to surpass or conquer him.
He wanted Sha Hai to lose hope completely.
After parting ways with Sha Hai, Ling Xiao went to Lin Haoyu, intending to use 500 contribution points to trade for the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul.
However, the outcome he received was greatly disappointing.
"It was taken by someone?"
Ling Xiao asked in shock.
"Sha Hai took it with the decree of the Sha Clan Leader, taking away the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul."
Lin Haoyu sighed.
"Was he targeting me?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"It seems so. After coming here, Sha Hai asked for nothing else but the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul."
Lin Haoyu answered, "Although I am the Outer Hall Master, someone holding contribution points to trade, and with the Sha Clan Leader’s decree, I couldn’t refuse."
Ling Xiao understood that Lin Haoyu had done nothing wrong; he couldn’t openly oppose the Sha Clan just for Ling Xiao’s sake.
Besides, it would have been pointless.
Lin Haoyu couldn’t refuse as long as the owner of the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul agreed to the exchange. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"That guy Zhou Tonɡ, it must have been him who leaked the information that I needed the Steel-armored Bull Demon Martial Soul."
Ling Xiao instantly thought of the people at the previous banquet, and Zhou Tong was naturally the biggest suspect.
En Renfeng had a normal relationship with him; there was neither enmity nor favor.
Feng Ru had an excellent relationship with him.
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master even intended to cultivate him.
So apart from Zhou Tong, there couldn’t be anyone else.
"Fine, very well, you don’t want me to become stronger, but I will show you all by becoming stronger anyway! Fortunately, the matter of my Lava Battle Body hasn’t been discovered by you, so I’ll exchange the remaining contribution points for medicinal materials and Magma Elemental Jade instead!"
When his cultivation level improved while he was in Ghost Prison, his Intermediate Thunder and Lightning War Body and Intermediate Magma Battle Body were naturally also able to advance.
He still had plenty of Lei Yuanyu, so there was no need to exchange for more; thus, he exchanged for lots of Magma Elemental Jade instead.
Additionally, he got some Soul Gems.
He also collected auxiliary medicinal materials for refining Devil Seeds and materials for making Yin-Yang Yuanli Pills.
To break through faster, one couldn’t do without pills, and Ling Xiao understood this well.
Why was his cultivation improving so fast?
Aside from his outstanding aptitude, the more important reason was that he knew alchemy.
Using alchemy to aid cultivation enabled him to advance rapidly.
All these things, in total, cost only three hundred contribution points.
