Tyrant Sky Martial Sou

Chapter 551: 551

Although the Dragon Clan is now in decline, their indulgence has not diminished; they still haven’t abandoned the luxuriousness befitting former kings.

Nobles in decline are still nobles, after all.

In terms of luxury, this Dragon Palace City is a hundred times more extravagant than Tianfeng City.

"This place isn’t bad, but for us, it’s probably dangerous territory,"

As Ling Xiao walked, he spoke, "The two of you must also be careful. The Black Dragon Clan might not dare to attack you openly, but behind the scenes is another matter. After all, they are mad enough to even dare assassinate the Old Dragon Emperor; killing you is not impossible."

"Rest assured, Young Master Ling, we will be careful. But you, having angered the Young Master Black Dragon previously, with that fellow’s temperament, I’m afraid he won’t let you off easily,"

Lin Bei said with concern.

"I’m actually hoping he’ll come,"

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile, "Coming to Sky Dragon Mountain, the first thing we need to do is to stir up trouble and then gradually destroy the Black Dragon Clan’s power and momentum, giving hope to the other members of the Dragon Clan."

"So that’s the plan, but the Black Dragon Clan has colluded with the Black Spirits. I’m afraid the Black Spirits will intervene,"

Lin Bei spoke again.

"If the Black Spirits intervene, it will only further confirm the fact of their collusion. Then, the situation will be easier for us to handle."

Truthfully, Ling Xiao was very apprehensive about the Black Spirits.

Because from what Lin Bei implied, those people in black on the Steel Battleship he saw outside the Land of Dragons belonged to the Black Spirits.

They are a terrifying group of beings not from the Mysterious World, even more mysterious and far more powerful than the True Demon Empire.

The strongest among those men in black on the Steel Battleship already belonged to the Heavenly Man Realm.

If they really made their move, then Ling Xiao really would have no other option but to ask the Moon Lady for help.

After all, at this stage, powerhouses of the Heavenly Man Realm were indeed not someone he could afford to provoke.

The trio entered an inn and chose two upstairs rooms to stay in.

"The two of you just need to protect yourselves. No matter what happens in my room, do not interfere, or it will only make things more difficult for me, understand?"

Ling Xiao was well aware that making such a conspicuous entrance to the inn would definitely invite trouble from someone during the night.

But he was waiting for it; there was nothing to be afraid of.

"This servant understands,"

Lin Bei was a very rational person; he knew well that he couldn’t help Ling Xiao much. Rather than causing more trouble, it was better to protect himself.

They each returned to their rooms.

Meanwhile, within the Dragon Palace.

Three people stood in the Dragon Emperor’s council hall.

One of them was tall, wearing a crown and robed in a dragon gown—it was the Black Dragon King, the usurper of the Dragon Emperor’s throne.

The second person was thin and entirely cloaked in black, his face and limbs obscured, resembling a ghost — a member of the Black Spirit Organization.

The third person, bearing a resemblance to the Black Dragon King but slightly leaner, had a face full of rage and eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Aotian, I hear you’ve met with the one who killed your two uncles and General Blackwheel?"

The Black Dragon King asked coldly.

Long Aotian nodded and said, "Father, the man is very powerful. The One-eyed Giant Beast, an Eighth-level Peak Fierce Beast, was easily slain by him."

"I see. Do you believe that fellow is one of the Golden Dragon Clan?"

The Black Spirit asked.

"Highly likely. That fellow has a strong aura of the Golden Dragon Clan about him; it’s unlikely to be wrong,"

Long Aotian affirmed with a nod.

"Hmph, I had not expected there to be two remnants of the Golden Dragon Clan still alive; such an oversight,"

The Black Dragon King scoffed, suddenly turning to Long Aotian, "From now on, you should not go out anymore. The Black Spirit Organization has found a method to break the Moon Blossom Fairy’s seal. Although it can only break a small part of the seal, it is highly effective in enhancing your strength. Once the seal is completely lifted, even a newborn of the Dragon Clan will possess the strength of the Heavenly Man Realm. Right now, only a bit can be undone, but with your talent, your cultivation level should at least reach that of a Half-step Celestial."

"Really?"

Long Aotian was overjoyed beyond measure.

"Of course."

Black Spirits spoke in a hoarse voice, "It will take some time to remove the seal, and I don’t want any trouble during this process. Black Dragon King, those two pests from the Golden Dragon Clan are clearly coming for you, kill them!"

"Don’t worry, I would see them dead even without your instruction! Moreover, within the current Dragon Clan, not all Dragon Kings are willing to let the Golden Dragon Clan off the hook. At the very least, the Poison Dragon King stands on the same side as I, and she is the strongest in the Dragon Clan after myself."

The Black Dragon King sneered, "The mere remnants of the Golden Dragon Clan dare to claim kingship and dominance? Ridiculous. They are courting death on their own, and it’s not because I’m heartless or ruthless!"

...

The night was hazy, and lights had been lit in the households of Tianfeng City, yet they could not dispel the darkness.

In a room in the tavern, Joshua Long and Lin Bei had already gone into hiding.

Ling Xiao was cultivating.

Worried about possible incidents at night, he wasn’t engaging in intense cultivation but was reinforcing his current cultivation level and martial arts.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed past the door.

Ling Xiao seemed to take no notice.

The paper on the window was pierced with a small hole, and a pipe was inserted, emitting wisps of white smoke.

Ling Xiao’s body swayed, and then he fell onto the bed.

After a long while, as if to confirm that Ling Xiao inside the room had fainted, the door creaked open.

Several men in black entered from outside, and with their skills, it was very easy for them to deceive the people of the tavern.

"Hehe, no matter how strong this kid is, he’s still fallen for our trap."

"That’s right, daring to offend our Young Master is seeking death!"

"Don’t be complacent, let me test to see if he’s really passed out."

One of the elders, who was rather corpulent.

This person was very cautious, stopping the two who were about to approach the bed, and then suddenly slapped out a palm. Instantly, a black dragon’s head materialized, pouncing towards the person on the bed.

Crack!

The dragon’s head bit into Ling Xiao and then actually swallowed him whole.

"Hahaha, success, let’s go!"

The corpulent elder burst into laughter, clearly in a very good mood.

"Since you’ve come, why the rush to leave?"

Suddenly, a cold and mysterious voice rang out.

The corpulent elder suddenly discovered that one of the people at his side had collapsed on the ground, spitting out blood, with a sharp blade stabbed through the chest.

"Damn it, retreat quickly!"

The corpulent elder cried out, frantically bombarding with both fists, trying to block Ling Xiao.

"Not a bad punch, but it’s useless!"

Nine Channels Air Sword·Soul Within!

An air sword thrust towards the dragon’s head, a flash of golden light illuminating the entire room. In an instant, a terrifying pressure accompanied by the air sword pierced through the dragon’s head formed of True Essence, stabbing at the corpulent elder.

Boom!

A massive boom sounded, and the tavern, occupying over ten acres, shook momentarily, almost collapsing.

In the neighboring room, Joshua Long anxiously glanced at Lin Bei beside him.

Lin Bei shook his head at him.

With Ling Xiao’s formidable strength, if he wasn’t a match for the assailants, the two of them would only be a burden if they went over, accomplishing nothing.

Many people understand this logic, but not everyone can act with such rationality.
