Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Arriving Late

Feng Qingyan, although he didn’t know why Ling Xiao hadn’t arrived yet, still felt delighted to see Fengming Wan Zhong’s frustrated and defeated appearance.

He and Fengming Wan Zhong had been competing since they were young, and seeing the other party in a plight naturally made him feel pleasant.

The disciples of Phoenix God College were all displeased.

They thought, "Ling Xiao is just a Martial Artist at the Pinnacle of Three Talents Heaven, yet he has such an attitude. There are plenty here who are more powerful than him. How dare he stand us up like this?"

"Young Master, could we have made a mistake? Is this Ling Xiao really the one who caused havoc at the Crystal Stone Factory?"

An elderly man beside Chu Mu, the Young Master of Pixiu Island, asked in confusion.

"It shouldn’t be a mistake. Anyway, it doesn’t matter since Wei Wei knows that Ling Xiao. Once Ling Xiao shows up, we’ll know right away. Right, Wei Wei?"

Chu Mu looked towards the woman on the other side, who was Cai Weiwei, once paired with Xi Men Bo at the Crystal Stone Factory.

At that moment, Cai Weiwei had a collar around her neck with a chain attached, kneeling there with Chu Mu stepping on her back.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Cai Weiwei was heartbroken and even wanted to die.

She could have escaped during the revolt at the Crystal Stone Factory but was recognized as the informant to the managers, causing her to be chased by slaves and missing the best chance to flee.

Eventually, Chu Mu found her.

She thought her luck had turned, hoping Chu Mu would favor her and bring her happiness.

But what Chu Mu did was even more beastly than Xi Men Bo.

He had put a collar on her, treating her like a dog that could be abused at will.

She didn’t dare to resist.

If she resisted, Chu Mu would beat her half to death, leaving her covered in bruises.

Now she could only numbly await fate’s decision.

Whether to continue enduring the pain.

Or to let death relieve her of the suffering.

"Yes, Young Master, I know that Ling Xiao."

Thinking of Ling Xiao, Cai Weiwei’s emotions were mixed.

If she hadn’t followed Xi Men Bo to inform but had revolted with Ling Xiao and others, perhaps she would be back at her Sect by now.

Although her Sect wasn’t prominent on the Divine Phoenix Continent, it was a place where she could live without worry, unlike now, where she was less than a pig or dog.

"If he really is Ling Xiao, I will arrange for the Peacock Princess to kill him!"

Chu Mu coldly laughed, "That guy killed two people from the Peacock Clan, though they weren’t presentable fellows. But the Peacock Clan are nobles and care about face; they definitely won’t let this go. We just need to instigate a little."

He did not plan to make a move himself.

After all, he was the Young Master of Pixiu Island, and killing a disciple of Qingxu College in the Imperial City of the Phoenix God Empire could turn from a minor to a major issue.

It could potentially lead to a confrontation between Pixiu Island and the Phoenix God Empire.

"Here they come!"

Just then, someone shouted.

Two figures tore through the sky.

It was Ling Xiao and Leng Mei.

"So Ling Xiao really did come after evening; was he waiting nearby from the start?"

"Why bother with that so much; as long as he’s here, it’s good. Today wasn’t a wasted trip!"

Ling Xiao, dressed in black, his long black hair complementing his mysterious aura.

When he landed below the Martial Arts Platform, the crowd naturally parted to create a path for him to ascend the platform.

If someone observed closely, they would notice that not a speck of dust rose when Ling Xiao landed.

Such was the manifestation of an exquisite Body Movement Technique.

Even Martial Artists with much higher Cultivation Levels might not achieve such a refined body control.

Body Movement Technique refined to the extreme allows one to control their body down to the finest detail.

"To be heavy when desired, light when needed,"

"When heavy, like a boulder falling to the ground; when light, like a feather floating in the breeze."

In the VIP seats, through her disheveled hair, Cai Weiwei almost cried out at the sight of that self-assured and handsome face.

Because she believed that now, perhaps only Ling Xiao could save her.

She harbored no deep hatred towards Ling Xiao, and although Ling Xiao did not like her, he might still lend her a hand.

But she could never bring herself to shout for help.

It was fear that stopped her.

She feared that Ling Xiao would refuse to help, and then she would surely be killed by Chu Mu.

Back then on the ship, she had scorned Ling Xiao so much.

And now, Ling Xiao had become her lifeline.

What a great irony this was.

On the Martial Arts Platform, the Blood Skeleton suddenly opened its eyes, a terrifying deathly aura erupted, and it bellowed at Ling Xiao, "Boy, you dare make me wait so long!"

Facing the fierce deathly pressure of the Blood Skeleton, Ling Xiao simply ignored it and turned to Leng Mei, saying, "Go take a seat on the platform, this battle will be over soon."

"Look at that arrogance, he doesn’t even regard the Blood Skeleton!"

Everyone watching couldn’t help but feel anxious for Ling Xiao, he truly was as arrogant as the rumors suggested.

However, from another perspective, since the Blood Skeleton’s aura couldn’t affect him, his soul must also be incredibly strong.

"Understood, master!"

Leng Mei walked up to the platform but found Ji Mingkong and others standing there, frowned, and didn’t know what to do next.

Ling Xiao also noticed this and asked, "Ji Mingkong, why aren’t you sitting down?"

"Hmph, how could such lowly commoners sit with us?"

A guard of the Peacock Clan scoffed.

"Slap!"

As soon as these words fell, the guard was flung away.

Naturally, it was Ling Xiao who had acted.

The guard flew tens of meters before crashing to the ground, looking at Ling Xiao with a mixture of grievance and disbelief.

Ling Xiao dared to hit him, dared to do so in front of so many people.

"You! You’re crazy!"

A guard from the Roc Clan stammered.

"Slap!"

Another slap, and the guard from the Roc Clan was flung away as well.

"I’m crazy? How amusing. Today is to be a duel between me and the Blood Skeleton; my friends can’t even sit down, and you insult them as lowly commoners. And you say I am crazy?"

Ling Xiao was not Lan Yu’er.

He had no desire to smooth things over.

From a young age, he had understood the law of the jungle, the rule that strength was everything, affording one the right to live and gain respect.

Whoever bullied him, he bullied back.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

"You scum! You dare hit our men?"

The Peacock Princess and Sky Roc Prince stood up and almost simultaneously confronted Ling Xiao.

"Idiots, I’ve killed both Ke Long and Ke Yu, why not them? And Harry Peng, Prince of Phoenix, you better watch over Yan Peng closely; don’t let him be alone, or else he is doomed!"

Ling Xiao had not forgotten that Yan Peng had ambushed him on the way.

If it weren’t for Qin Huo joining forces with him then, he probably would have died.

Such enmity was not to be taken lightly.

"Two Princes, give me face, today is my duel here, once the duel is over, we can resolve your issues,"

At this point, the Blood Skeleton spoke up.
