Chapter 958: Chapter 958 Young Master Chu Mu

Ling Xiao let out a cold laugh and conjured the Light and Shadow Divine Cone, hurling it toward the central location of the Ancient Array System.

Although the Ancient Array was powerful, it relied on the peculiar terrain here to activate its effects.

Ling Xiao couldn’t destroy the Array Formation, but he could completely change the terrain here, and by doing so, the Ancient Array would lose its effectiveness entirely.

This was easier said than done, however, because for most Martial Artists, the difficulty lay not in the destruction, but in the search.

To find the most central terrain factor of the Ancient Array would be nearly impossible for anyone other than Ling Xiao.

After all, only Ling Xiao possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

Boom!

A massive rumbling sound echoed once more as the terrain of the Crystal Stone Factory changed completely. To prevent Pixiu Island from restoring the terrain, Ling Xiao even sacrificed the Immortal Pot to take away the soul of the terrain.

According to the Mysterious World Law, all things have souls.

Some souls are often present externally, while others remain dormant and go unnoticed.

But these souls always play a crucial role at all times.

A land without a soul is dead land, never to recover.

"You bastard, I, Chu Mu, will never let you go, never! It’s no use, no matter where you run!"

The humanoid column of light roared again.

"Heh, I’ve grown tired of hearing such words. I don’t know when it started, but it seems many people like to try to scare me with them. Do they really think I, Ling Xiao, am so easily frightened?"

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile, "When the real Chu Mu arrives, tell him if he wants to find me, I am always ready to oblige. However, I wonder if he has the capability for that."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the humanoid column of light and, together with Leng Mei and the others, broke through the Array Formation and left the Crystal Stone Factory.

As for the slaves,

since the Array Formation had already been broken, they could leave if they wished. If they dared not leave for fear of retaliation, Ling Xiao couldn’t help them further.

Ling Xiao and his team followed the original path back to the shore.

Unexpectedly, the boat that had previously tricked them was still docked there.

Even more unexpected was that everyone on board, including the captain, had been controlled by Qin Huo.

After landing and sensing Ling Xiao’s absence, Qin Huo knew something was amiss. So he took the opportunity to come back and take control of the boat.

He had been waiting here for nearly an entire month.

Fortunately, the location was secretive enough, or else if Pixiu Island’s people discovered it, that would have been another troublesome matter.

"General!"

"Brothers, you’ve worked hard!"

"That’s enough, General Qin. Now’s not the time for talk. Turn this boat around, and let’s head back to the Divine Phoenix Continent. If Pixiu Island finds out something happened to the Crystal Stone Factory, we really won’t be able to escape their grasp."

Ling Xiao estimated that it wouldn’t take long for the uprising at the Crystal Stone Factory to be discovered.

Thus, they needed to hurry back to the Divine Phoenix Continent before then.

As long as they reached the Divine Phoenix Continent, it didn’t matter if things got turned upside down here.

In fact, his concerns were not without reason.

Roughly half an hour later, Pixiu Island sensed the situation at the Crystal Stone Factory, and after figuring out all the details, another half-hour had passed.

By that time, Ling Xiao’s ship had already reached the Divine Phoenix Continent, and then the group raced towards the Imperial City.

At this point, it was meaningless for Pixiu Island’s experts to pursue them any longer.

At sea, a ship was speeding up its course.

Standing at the prow was none other than Pixiu Island’s Young Island Master, Chu Mu.

"Ling Xiao! Just you wait. Even if you return to the Phoenix Empire Royal City, I, the Young Island Master, shall reclaim this debt!"

Two hundred thousand Heavenly Elemental Crystals.

How long would it take to gather that amount, and yet Ling Xiao had whisked them all away in one go.

And it wasn’t just that he took them, he even destroyed the Crystal Stone Factory.

This was something Pixiu Island could hardly bear.

Chu Mu also swore that he must slay Ling Xiao, or his resentment would never be quelled!

Outside the Imperial City, Ling Xiao spent money to buy a residence.

This place was very secluded, and the environment was quite nice; just setting up a few Array Formations would make it an excellent cultivation spot comparable to many other places.

He arranged for Qin Huo, Xin, and those three hundred soldiers to stay here.

"I only have one thing to say, I’m not providing free food and drink for you to enjoy yourselves, you’re eating and drinking my provisions now, but in the future, you will have to risk your lives and shed your blood for me!"

When he was about to leave, Ling Xiao decided to speak bluntly, "My ambition is to rebuild humanity’s glory and re-establish the human Empire. If you are willing to follow me, then cultivate desperately here. I won’t stint on providing various resources and Martial Arts to you.

If you are reluctant, or find the days too dull, then you can leave now, I won’t stop you.

But you only have this one chance to choose.

Make your decision now, because whether you want to leave or come back later, it won’t be easy.

Those who attempt to leave later will be regarded as traitors and will be killed without mercy!

Those who attempt to return must complete the trials I assign, which are almost certainly deadly."

Saying this, Ling Xiao scanned the crowd, waiting for someone to express their stance.

"We are willing to follow the Chosen Son of Heaven to the death!"

The voices were unified and resounding.

No wonder, after all, apart from Xin, all the others here were soldiers.

Are soldiers afraid of hardship?

Only if they’re the kind who rarely fight in wars.

And the men led by Qin Huo were certainly not that kind.

With someone providing them with cultivation resources and a place to cultivate, why wouldn’t they make good use of it?

Having experienced the pain of their nation’s destruction and the loss of their homes, they knew all too well what strength meant. Without strength, they would be beaten passively, bullied, insulted, and trampled on.

Even treated like animals!

"Good! I’ve heard your response, and I hope you don’t regret it. When it’s painful, when you’re tired, just take a good look in the mirror, look at the tattoos on your faces, that’s disgrace!

If you don’t ever want to feel that shame again, then cultivate as if your lives depended on it!"

After this stirring speech, Ling Xiao directly handed over a hundred thousand Low-grade Heavenly Elemental Crystals and a large number of copied Martial Arts Secret Manuals to Qin Huo.

"These items, you distribute them. The only thing I mean by giving them to you is ’unless you’re not dead, cultivate with all your might; don’t make any excuses. I’m giving you the resources, not because I owe you, but because I need you to fight fiercely on the battlefield!’"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Qin Huo solemnly took the Storage Ring, his hands trembling slightly.

The gift Ling Xiao had given was too generous.

If they didn’t cultivate with all their might, they would indeed be worse than pigs and dogs.

"Leng Mei, let’s go!"

Ling Xiao turned around and left the secret place.

Whether he could achieve great things in the future or not, this was the beginning of everything.

Chosen Academy was also considered his power base, but after all, those were Martial Artists, unlike soldiers.

Here, they were all soldiers.

True soldiers who obeyed orders without question!
