An Feiren’s words were just an excuse for An Hua, that old woman.

What use is there for Ling Xiao to explain? The other party definitely won’t listen.

"I did humiliate him, so what? He’s worthless, already almost eighteen, yet so useless.

That’s fine, if his aptitude were bad, I wouldn’t mock him.

But to have poor aptitude and yet act arrogant, who should I deal with if not him?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ling Xiao looked at An Hua and sneered.

"Fine, fine, you’ve admitted everything! Since that’s the case, I won’t waste words with you anymore. From today onward, Ling Xiao, you will be responsible for cleaning all the toilets of the Dark Clan. If it’s not done, you won’t sleep or cultivate."

An Hua roared.

"What if I don’t agree?"

Ling Xiao sneered.

If he truly listens to this old woman, then he can forget about cultivation, advancing to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, or joining the Dark Clan; might as well go back to Black Immortal Mountain.

So he absolutely won’t agree.

"Not agree? Then get back to Black Immortal Mountain!"

An Hua yelled.

"Ridiculous! You think if you tell me to leave, I will? Is there no order on these Eight Immortals Mountain? Is there no law?

Do you think, An Hua Elder, you can single-handedly rule over everything?"

Ling Xiao shouted.

"Rules? Here, I am the rules! If you don’t like it, then get out!"

An Hua exclaimed loudly.

"Haha, An Hua Elder really has a big sense of authority. Since when did the rules of the Dark Clan become dictated by you?"

A mocking laugh came from afar.

It was Heiye Wuxing who appeared in front of the wooden cabin.

"I’ve said before, whoever provokes my disciple, they’re provoking me, Heiye Wuxing. Seems like you haven’t learned your lesson?"

Heiye Wuxing landed, suddenly slapped An Hua on the face: "Get lost! I’ll say it once more, Ling Xiao is my disciple, as long as he doesn’t break the rules, if anyone touches him, I’ll deal with them!"

"Heiye Wuxing, don’t think you can run wild just because you’re powerful. This isn’t a place for you to behave wildly!"

An Hua was taken aback by the slap and wanted to retaliate, but remembering what happened in the Sacrificial Hall before, she didn’t dare.

Back then, Heiye Wuxing defeated her with a single move, she had no chance to beat him.

"I’m behaving wildly, so what can you do about it?"

Heiye Wuxing had transformed from his previous low-profile endurance to today’s domineering demeanor, almost making Ling Xiao not recognize him.

But Ling Xiao truly liked the current Heiye Wuxing.

That’s the kind of man who takes responsibility.

Whoever doesn’t comply gets a beating!

After all, the Mysterious World revolves around strength, where power talks, and nothing else matters.

Moreover, Ling Xiao was fundamentally right in this matter.

It was An Feiren and those guys who stopped him first, wanting to deal with him, not the other way around.

Whether in terms of strength or reason, he wouldn’t lose.

"You! You! Fine, fine, Heiye Wuxing, remember this, make sure to leave yourself a way out. I will definitely report this to the Clan Leader, so don’t regret it then!"

An Hua’s face burned in embarrassment, losing face in front of numerous inner and outer disciples, but she had no option.

Getting slapped by the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master, it truly doesn’t feel good, but she had to bear it.

No choice, she couldn’t match his strength.

After saying that, she turned and fled with An Feiren and others, extremely embarrassed.

"Mountain Master, how come you have time to be here? How are Senior Brother and Feng Ru?"

Ling Xiao was very close to Heiye Wuxing and excitedly approached after seeing An Hua leave.

"Why, are you not welcoming? Ren Feng and Feng Ru are doing well, working hard.

Since you’ve advanced to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, they also want to advance."

Heiye Wuxing smiled and said, "I just regret not having suitable martial arts to teach them. Regrettably, I didn’t keep more martial arts manuals back then."

"That’s no issue, I went to White Wolf County City earlier and defeated Black Wolf General, happened to acquire some martial arts manuals. They are high-level Yu Pin grade but are comparatively easy to cultivate."

As he spoke, Ling Xiao took out a few sets of martial arts secret books from his Storage Ring and handed them to Heiye Wuxing: "Senior Brother and Feng Ru are my friends, and also my senior brother and junior sister.

Let them focus on cultivation and strive to advance to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain soon!"

"Alright, I won’t decline what you’re offering."

Heiye Wuxing was increasingly sure he hadn’t chosen wrong with Ling Xiao as a disciple.

This kid, despite sometimes being ruthless, is truly loyal and emotional.

Logically, he’s already a disciple of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, with no need to concern himself with Lower Baxian affairs.

But having acquired something valuable, he still thinks of former friends, which is genuinely touching.

"Off I go."

Heiye Wuxing took the items, patted Ling Xiao’s shoulder, and turned to leave.

His purpose here was simply to drive away An Hua for Ling Xiao.

Given his cultivation level, nearly nothing happening on Eight Immortals Mountain could escape his eye.

Only previously, he hadn’t cared about anything.

As soon as Heiye Wuxing left, Heiye Wuguang arrived.

"Seems I’m a bit late, my second brother beat me to it again."

Seeing Ling Xiao safe and sound, Heiye Wuguang sighed in relief, albeit slightly helplessly.

He had come to help after hearing things weren’t right around here.

Though not as direct in driving away An Hua as Heiye Wuxing, he could still ensure Ling Xiao’s survival.

But who knew Heiye Wuxing was that proactive.

Ling Xiao found it amusing.

He once thought Heiye Wuguang was cold and strong, a bit of a jerk.

But more contact revealed that he’s actually quite a jokester.

"Stop laughing. Didn’t you say you wanted to visit Ghost Prison Fifth Level? Let’s go, I’ll take you now."

Heiye Wuguang glared at Ling Xiao.

"Now?"

Ling Xiao was surprised by how fast Heiye Wuguang was, fulfilling his request promptly.

"Don’t want to go?"

"Of course, of course, I’ll notify them."

Ling Xiao returned to the wooden hut to inform Qinɡ Luan Hua and Lin Yang of his trip to Ghost Prison Fifth Level before departing with Heiye Wuguang.

"Keep in mind, the Shadow Black Gourd competition will start in a month. You must return before then.

Missing it is a waste, having to wait another year."

On the way, Heiye Wuguang advised, "Anyway, you’ve already defeated Su Mo, ranked first among the Outer Clan. This prerequisite is met.

In a month’s time, you can directly participate in the Shadow Black Gourd competition.

Do you know why An Hua wants to trouble you?

Mainly because you embarrassed her.

She claimed you would never rank first among the Outer Clan, yet you achieved it in two days.

No wonder she’s angry."

"How did you know?"

Ling Xiao asked, surprised.

"My eldest brother reported it, it was he who suggested placing you first in the Outer Clan rankings.

Defeating Su Mo and plucking out his eyes, you’re well-deserving."

Heiye Wuguang replied.
