Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: The Reason for Taking Action

"Dear brother, I must apologize for what happened before, unfortunately it seems I might never get another chance to serve you after this. Timmerman Muto is ferociously brutal, and our king has been treacherously ambushed, standing no chance against Muto. I fear your sister will die in this battle as well. You should go, hurry and leave this place, return to the Phoenix God Empire."

Xie Li gently stroked Ling Xiao’s hair as she spoke.

"What, you’re trying to welsh on me? If I left, what if you wouldn’t come to find me?"

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"If your sister survives, I will definitely come to find you, definitely!"

After finishing her words, Xie Li leaped away.

Ling Xiao squinted watching the beautiful figure disappear, couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Why did you suddenly become so gentle and dear, sigh, if I watch you go to your death, could I still call myself a man?"

Shaking his head inwardly, Ling Xiao also leaped to follow.

Whether to save Xie Li, or to thwart Timmerman Muto’s plans, he had to continue moving forward.

Atop a mountain bristling with black stones stood a palace embedded into the mountain itself, blending with it, both mysterious and exuding an air of grandeur and dominance.

This was the royal palace of the Scorpion Tribe, where the Scorpion King resided.

However, at this moment, the palace was experiencing a catastrophe.

Even though the Scorpion Tribe was putting up a last stand, they were being besieged by the experts from the Lizard people and the Black Crow Empire.

The Scorpion King and Timmerman Muto were not present, one could only hear earth-shattering noises from a distance occasionally, indicating the two were likely clashing there.

The battles of Yin Yang Realm Martial Artists were too terrifying and destructive, so they normally didn’t occur where there were many people.

This was better for both sides.

"Stop your futile resistance, hand over your Blood Mirror, and perhaps you can still live!"

Leading the Lizard people with Feng Zhan and the Lizard leader Lebeau, the one speaking was Feng Zhan himself.

Although it would be possible to slaughter all these Scorpion people and then go after the Blood Mirror, it would result in too much loss and even more importantly, it would waste time.

Despite most of the Scorpion people being wounded, the three leaders and twelve Deputy Commanders, apart from Xie Li who had been imprisoned, were all too severely injured to fight.

But once these creatures fought for their lives, they were terrifying indeed.

"Feng Zhan, don’t bother dreaming. Our Scorpion tribe’s Supreme Treasure, how could we possibly hand it over to the likes of you!"

A figure appeared on the battlefield, tearing open a gap in the encirclement, killing dozens of Lizard people from the Heavenly Man Realm.

"Xie Li! Weren’t you imprisoned?"

Feng Zhan looked at Xie Li in surprise, as Xie Li was able to kill dozens of Lizard people from the Heavenly Man Realm with a single move, clearly the imprisonment had been lifted.

"Heh, sorry to disappoint you, General Feng Zhan, but it was I who helped sister Xie Li break free from the Imprisonment!"

A calm smile sounded as Ling Xiao gracefully arrived, appearing among the ranks of the Scorpion people’s army.

Dressed in a military uniform, albeit a bit tattered, he looked valiant and godly courageous, his handsome and distinguished face framed by a certain boldness.

Seeing this person.

Feng Zhan was so angry that he almost spat blood.

Xie Li, on the other hand, could only bitterly smile.

Why did he have to follow her still, this human youth who had saved her, owing her a tremendous favor, has come following her onto this unknown battlefield.

"Heh, I was wondering who it could be, isn’t this just the coward that hid and didn’t dare to show his face? What, after I killed Xie Mang, are you here to steal the credit?"

The Shadow Swordsman Situ Mo looked at Ling Xiao with a disdainful smile.

"You killed Xie Mang?"

Ling Xiao revealed a cold smile.

"Situ Mo, you’ve been too careless, Xie Mang isn’t dead at all, he merely used the Shell Shedding Technique, it’s a shame that as a Ninth Heaven Martial Artist, you failed to see even this. It seems that the Scorpion deity doesn’t wish for me to owe you, a despicable person, any favors."

"Turns out, you’re not as impressive as my human little brother here."

Xie Li said indifferently.

What!

Situ Mo looked coldly at Ling Xiao, he actually wasn’t even comparable to this insignificant human?

"Dear brother, why go through all this trouble? There was no need for you to get involved in the affairs of us Scorpion people."

Xie Li looked at Ling Xiao and sighed.

Deep down, she was truly touched because she had never dreamed that this man, whom she once offended, would help her so much.

"Sister Xie Li, you’re being too formal. We are all in the same boat, after all. I led troops to defeat the Blackraven army, but what I got in return was betrayal and backstabbing. I guess it must be the same for the Scorpion Tribe, right?"

Ling Xiao shrugged and continued, "Besides, that old dog Mu Tu almost killed me. His gains are my losses, how could I not help you?"

Although the words sounded a bit arrogant, they deeply moved Xie Li when she heard them.

Why did Scorpion people hate other species?

There were historical reasons behind it.

When the Sacred Dynasty ruled the entire Mysterious World, the Scorpion people actually lived very freely.

However, the decline of the Sacred Dynasty led to the fragmentation of the Mysterious World and the autonomous governance of the Thirteen Continents.

The tragic fate of the Scorpion people began from that time.

Scorpion people are different from scorpions; they are not born with the intent to eat their own mothers and fathers.

But many species in the Phoenix God Empire and Black Crow Empire spread rumors, turning this non-existent act into so-called truth.

Then, they secretly transported many Scorpion people away to kill them.

Why kill?

Because the blood of the Scorpion people could be used to concoct divine pills that cured all poisons!

That’s why Scorpion people became so reclusive, unwilling to interact with any other species, and even became wary and afraid whenever any other species approached their territory.

From Ling Xiao, they saw the shadow of a person.

Although they had never seen that person, only read about him in history books, and even once doubted whether it was true or not.

Yes, that was the King of People.

In the Ancient Era, when the Scorpion people suffered under the rule of the Lizard people, it was the King of People who rescued them.

And today, another human appeared.

Although Ling Xiao’s Cultivation Level could not compare to the King of People, his momentum and Godly Courage were not the least bit inferior to the King of People.

The Scorpion people were deeply moved.

But the Lizard people were furious.

Today was supposed to be the day when they exterminated the Scorpion people and unified the Highly Poisonous Desert, reliving the glory of their ancestors.

But now, an outsider had appeared, someone who was shouting about helping the Scorpion people and treating them as if they were nothing.

"Damn you, I don’t care who you are, this is a war between us Lizard people and the Scorpion people. You, a human, better not meddle in our affairs!"

The Lizard people’s leader roared with anger.

"Are you the Lizard people’s leader, Lebeau?"

Ling Xiao inquired.

"Yes, I am Lebeau. What about it?"

"Since it’s you, let me kindly advise you, Timmerman Muto is not a good guy. I overheard his conversation with Feng Zhan; they plan to use you and then annihilate you afterward. Are you still deluded?"

Ling Xiao said calmly.
