Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2270 - 273: The Command of the Seven Mountain Masters: No Rescuing Allowed
"That’s more like it."
Ling Xiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Demon Shadow Sect, the only person he truly feared was the County City Steward, Chen Wuyan.
Despite being Chen Changsheng’s most incompetent son, his cultivation level was at Yin-Yang Realm Third Layer Hell Peak, and he was not to be underestimated.
"That’s more like it? Young Master Ling Xiao, you’re not going to face so many Demon Shadow Sect disciples by yourself, are you?"
Old Black was directly dumbfounded: "Even if the County Governor isn’t of any help, as a disciple of the Eight Immortals Mountain, can’t you ask them to step in?"
"This matter doesn’t need to trouble Eight Immortals Mountain, I can handle it alone. Asking them for help would incur a debt of gratitude."
Ling Xiao shook his head and said.
If he wanted to find help, he certainly could. At the very least, Lin Ruoxian, Lin Yang, Cheng Feiying, and Feng Ru would all assist him.
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master might help too.
Lin Haoyu might also lend a hand.
The Orange Immortal Mountain Master could possibly help as well.
However, the minions of the Demon Shadow Sect at Yuhua Town were merely a Hall Master and two Protectors, he didn’t take them seriously.
Even without using the Tyrant Sky Martial Soul, he could wipe them all out.
"I really shouldn’t have told you about this, Young Master Ling Xiao."
Old Black sighed bitterly: "I initially said not to inform you, but that Shopkeeper Lin insisted on doing so.
Sigh.
It’s not that this old servant looks down on you, young master, but with your current strength, dealing with a town steward is already extremely difficult, let alone facing a more powerful Hall Master.
I’m begging you, please find a way to contact the people from Eight Immortals Mountain and ask for their help. They will surely succeed.
If worse comes to worst, I will go seek the help of the County Governor."
Old Black didn’t want Ling Xiao to get entangled in this matter.
In fact, when he left Yuhua Town, Ling Jiaojiao specifically instructed him not to disrupt Ling Xiao’s cultivation, and certainly not to drag him into such dangerous affairs.
But he had no choice, as he was injured and couldn’t stop Lin Fengyuan from informing Ling Xiao.
"Old Black, I understand your concerns, but you needn’t worry. Just recover here peacefully, as I’ll be back from Yuhua Town in no time. It’s the Demon Shadow Sect’s misfortune to provoke me."
Ling Xiao gently patted Old Black’s shoulder and smiled: "You probably have no idea how much my cultivation has improved during my time at Eight Immortals Mountain, which is why you’re worried."
"But..."
Old Black was still not at ease.
He didn’t know how much Ling Xiao’s cultivation had improved. In fact, if calculated based on normal cultivation speed, he doubted Ling Xiao’s cultivation level could even reach the Yin-Yang Realm.
If he couldn’t even reach the First Layer Hell in the Yin-Yang Realm, how could he face a Hall Master at the Second Layer Hell Peak?
At that moment, Ling Xiao heard a knock at the door and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
He dispelled the array formation and then opened the door. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Outside stood Lin Ruoxian, Lin Yang, and Feng Ru.
"Why have you come?"
Ling Xiao sighed and said, "Someone in my family was slightly injured, so I simply came to take a look."
"Ling Xiao, you don’t need to say more. Shopkeeper Lin has already informed us of the specifics. Demons Shadow Sect’s people have barged into Yuhua Town, capturing blood pigs indiscriminately, yet there’s no response from the County City.
You plan to go back alone to deal with them, don’t you?"
Lin Ruoxian said.
"And who might this lady be?"
Old Black curiously looked at Lin Ruoxian, who seemed as ethereal as a celestial being, and couldn’t help but ask.
He could sense the powerful aura emanating from Lin Ruoxian, and her elegant attire suggested she was no ordinary individual.
"Sir, this is the respectable Steward from Lower Baxian Mountain, also an Upper Baxian Mountain disciple, with unfathomable strength. A mere County City Steward from the Demon Shadow Sect wouldn’t stand a chance against her."
Lin Yang excitedly introduced.
"Thud!"
Upon hearing Lin Yang’s introduction, Old Black directly fell off the sickbed, kneeling before Lin Ruoxian and said, "Steward, I beg you to save Yuhua Town!"
"Old Black, what are you doing!"
Ling Xiao immediately helped Old Black up, disliking such unceremonious kneeling actions.
Though he held Lin Ruoxian in high regard, he couldn’t let his family kneel without reason.
Especially when it was unnecessary.
He could handle this issue on his own; there was no need to owe anyone a favor.
"Ling Xiao, let me accompany you. With me around, the Demon Shadow Sect is nothing!"
Lin Ruoxian said only one sentence, which brought Old Black to tears.
For he knew that the Ling Family was saved, Yuhua Town was saved.
And the Steward was willing to help all because of Ling Xiao.
After leaving Yuhua Town and joining the Eight Immortals Mountain, how much has this Ling Xiao progressed to receive such assistance from a Steward?
"Steward Ruoxian, Lin Yang, Feng Ru, your kindness is noted by me, Ling Xiao.
However, the Demon Shadow Sect matters were provoked by me, so I’ll settle them myself.
If you truly wish to help, it’s best to remain vigilant in Eight Immortals County City, as the real Bloodsucking Sacrifice will occur there, and the rehearsal by the Yuhua Town Steward is just a prelude."
Ling Xiao indeed appreciated Lin Ruoxian’s goodwill and knew that Lin Yang and Feng Ru would undoubtedly offer to help as well.
But he truly didn’t need it.
Because what he intended to do at Yuhua Town might be brutal.
He didn’t want them to witness it.
"None of you can go! Including you, Ling Xiao! If you dare head to Yuhua Town alone to fight the Demon Shadow Sect, you’re no longer one of Eight Immortals Mountain’s disciples!"
Just as Lin Ruoxian wanted to insist, an icy voice came from outside the door.
At the same time, two people entered.
One was Zhou Tong, the other was Sha Mo Yun.
"Who do you think you are, when can you represent the entire Sect?"
Ling Xiao glanced disdainfully at the two, truly puzzled as to where they got the confidence to stop him from heading to Yuhua Town to save people.
"We can’t represent the Sect, but this is an order jointly signed by the seven Mountain Masters of Lower Baxian Mountain!"
While speaking, Sha Mo Yun produced a paper edict for Ling Xiao and everyone present to see.
Ling Xiao glanced at the seals on it. Except for the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master, the other seven had signed, indicating the order was genuine.
Documents like this were challenging to forge.
At this moment, his face turned ashen, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Rest assured, gentlemen, our young master won’t meddle in this affair. I came to Eight Immortals County City not to find him but to seek the County Governor, so please don’t hold it against him."
Old Black sensed the situation had suddenly taken a grave turn, so he hurriedly struggled to sit up and said.
Seeing Old Black’s attitude, Zhou Tong suddenly felt smug.
He sneered and said, "Hmph, Ling Xiao, your family is indeed more perceptive. It wasn’t easy for you to join Eight Immortals Mountain, so don’t act recklessly. If you get kicked out, no one will take you in."
