Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Intimidating the City Lord

When surrounded by tens of thousands of people, the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly was a bit worried. Was this not like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth, being delivered straight into the enemy’s jaws?

But now they understood that they had worried unnecessarily.

This Ling Xiao, this Chosen Son of Heaven, was much more formidable than they had imagined.

...

In the City Lord Mansion Council Chamber, the expressions on the faces of several dozen Sea Race nobles were far from pleasant.

Outside, constant shrill screams could be heard, and clearly, they were from their own side.

Could tens of thousands of people really not hold back a single brat?

In the hall, an aura of panic continued to spread, with many people feeling restless and uneasy.

Only the City Lord, Jiao Lie, who was sitting in the master’s seat, had an unsettled and gloomy expression on his face.

He was not afraid.

He just felt humiliated.

He had spent so much money yet raised so many useless people.

He suddenly stood up, ready to rush out and personally exterminate those rebellious traitors.

"Respected Lord, you do not need to take action now. Let those wastes first deplete the young man’s strength."

Several people sitting to Jiao Lie’s right were clearly not of the Sea Race, but given their seating positions, they seemed to hold significant status in this place.

"But he has already broken into my castle. If I don’t go out now, am I supposed to cower like a turtle?"

Jiao Lie roared in violent anger.

"Respected Lord, it’s better to remain calm for now. Most of those people are the Green-eyed Clan’s good-for-nothing wine sacks, if they all die, you can simply find more."

The person on Jiao Lie’s right continued, "Moreover, just because he managed to kill the Duke of Eastern Province doesn’t mean he can kill you. Are you planning to rush out to your death?

Be smart about it, let’s wait for him to come in. Together, taking his life will be as easy as flipping our hands.

If push comes to shove, our Alliance Leader can make a move. Don’t forget, he is a master of the Yin-Yang Realm. Even if that kid has reached the Cave Heaven Realm, wouldn’t he still be effortlessly crushed?"

Though unpleasant to hear, Jiao Lie knew this man was right.

Rashly going out, he might indeed not be a match for Ling Xiao.

With that thought, he fiercely slapped the armrest and finally sat back down.

Boom!

Suddenly, a figure shot in from outside, rushing straight towards Jiao Lie.

Jiao Lie couldn’t see who it was but threw a casual punch, and the person was blown apart midair.

"Brother!"

After realizing who it was, he cried out in shock.

The figure that had flown in was actually his good brother, the leader of the Sea Race private soldiers responsible for guarding the City Lord’s Mansion.

He had inadvertently killed his own good brother.

This filled Jiao Lie with rage, and he angrily looked towards the entrance.

A massive Skeleton Warrior had completely demolished the gate and Ling Xiao, Wu Xiang, and others filed in.

"Everyone’s here, that’s quite convenient. Saves me the trouble of having to look for you."

The youth directly jumped onto the hand of the Skeleton Warrior, comfortably lounging there with a sunny smile on his face.

Seeing this arrogant fellow, many in the great hall were thrown into disarray, moving behind Jiao Lie and filling up the small space behind him.

The youth’s face was brimming with a sunny smile.

But to these people, it seemed more like a devilishly cold smile.

"City Lord Jiao Lie, enjoying your time lording over our human territory, are you comfortable?"

Ling Xiao’s gaze was fixed on Jiao Lie, who was standing there with a face full of anger.

"Having had a good time for so long, maybe it’s time for you to roll back to your den, no?"

Watching Ling Xiao with a smirk on his face, Jiao Lie’s own expression was equally dark. He clenched the armrest so tightly with his hands that he crushed the solid wood into dust on the spot.

"You scoundrel, you actually dare to bring people to barge into my City Lord’s Mansion, do you not know this is rebellion?"

Jiao Lie glared coldly at Ling Xiao. Although he was violently angry, he dared not rashly attack.

His cultivation level was comparable to that of the Duke of Eastern Province, yet the giant Skeleton Warrior beside Ling Xiao was by no means inferior to him.

If he attacked now, he might very soon make a fool of himself.

"Rebellion?"

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile: "The Heavenly Dragon Continent has always been the territory of the Sacred Dynasty. Although the Dynasty has weakened over the years leading to lax governance here, you Sea Race have ousted us and taken our homes, and yet you dare say that I am rebelling?"

"What we have taken, now belongs to us!"

Jiao Lie spoke coldly.

"Then there’s nothing to talk about. Today, I mainly plan to eradicate your Sea Race City Lord and, by the way, pull out that traitor Gao Yangjun. Do you know where he is?"

Ling Xiao said casually.

Jiao Lie was already at the peak of his violent anger, and now, seeing Ling Xiao’s completely superior attitude only infuriated him further.

Crack!

The bluestone tiles underfoot suddenly cracked open.

Jiao Lie spoke word by word: "The likes of you, a despicable human, also dream of taking things from our hands, dream on!"

"Is that so? The Duke of Eastern Province said the same thing before the fight," Ling Xiao said with a slight smile, seemingly indifferent to Jiao Lie’s words.

"You ignorant and arrogant brat, what is the Duke of Eastern Province? Can he compare to me? I really want to see, how you few dozen people plan to annihilate me, Jiao Lie, and take over Lanton City!"

Roaring loudly, Jiao Lie’s aura fully erupted, and his Cave Realm was also unleashed.

His Cave Realm was very similar to Jiao Batian’s.

What he released was a completely enclosed space filled with seawater.

The only difference was that Jiao Batian’s seawater was ice cold, while this guy’s water was scalding hot.

The boiling seawater filled the entire council chamber, not only safeguarding his own people but also sweeping towards Ling Xiao and his group.

That imposing momentum forced Po Qian Jun and the others to choose to fall back.

Only Wu Xiang, Ling Xiao, and the Skeleton Warrior did not retreat.

Although Wu Xiang’s injuries were not completely healed, he was not intimidated by such momentum.

Calmly observing Jiao Lie’s overwhelming aura, a trace of mockery and disdain appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.

After the battle with the Duke of Eastern Province, he had gained a lot, so there was no need to waste time with someone of the same strength.

What he needed now was to completely suppress the opponent, making them feel fear and despair.

He planned to borrow Butterfly Girl’s power.

"What’s the matter? You’re not planning to make a move?"

Seeing Ling Xiao still sitting there without any intention to act, Jiao Lie became somewhat bewildered.

"To deal with you, I don’t need to make such a big fuss," Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"I think you are simply courting death. Imperial Bodyguards, where are you? Kill him!"

Jiao Lie’s Imperial Bodyguards were all top Martial Artists with a Cultivation Level above Nine Heavy Heaven.

There were six in total, usually standing close to him, protecting him at all times.

They were also ready to give their lives for him at any moment.

Since he did not dare to act rashly himself, he ordered these six guards to test Ling Xiao’s strength for him.

These six guards really did obey Jiao Lie’s commands completely.

Upon receiving the order, they leaped forward with extreme speed towards Ling Xiao.
