Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Two-Faced and Treacherous

It was like having a nightmare in broad daylight, and all the suffering in the nightmare was real and vivid.

The agony had already drenched Jiao Lie through and through, to the point that he couldn’t even muster his inner strength.

Fear had devoured his reason completely.

He had utterly lost the courage to keep fighting.

"Tell me, where is Gao Yangjun, who exactly is he?"

Ling Xiao looked coldly at Jiao Lie.

He wasn’t in a hurry to kill the man, because some things needed to be asked clearly first.

"I know! I know!"

Jiao Lie nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, he was like a prisoner who had suffered extreme torture and finally gave up resisting.

He would answer whatever others asked, for fear of angering Ling Xiao, fearing this cruel fellow would stab him to death with a sword.

Even now, he could still feel the longsword in Ling Xiao’s hand inside his body.

A slight push forward, and he would fall dead on the spot.

He didn’t want to die.

He was a noble from the Sea Race, with his own family and relatives in the vast depths of the Stormy Ocean.

If he died just like that, he would have nothing left.

"Very well, speak."

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Jiao Lie hesitated for a moment, worried that even if he spoke, Ling Xiao would still kill him.

"Jiao Lie, you better think carefully, some things should not be said carelessly."

In the moment of his hesitation, one of the few people sitting to his right suddenly spoke in a sinister cold voice.

"Ptui!"

Ling Xiao’s left hand suddenly produced a sharp sword, which he thrust into the body of the person without hesitation this time.

It was like killing a dog.

Most terrifying was that when the longsword was drawn out, the person actually burst into flames from within, and ultimately turned to ash amidst agonized, haunting screams.

Killing one to warn the others.

Ling Xiao did this to make an example for Jiao Lie.

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Gao Yangjun is one of their people, the son of Tian Li Meng Alliance Leader Gao Yangwen."

Jiao Lie dared not hesitate any longer, even if he was going to die, he did not want to die so miserably that he wouldn’t even leave a whole corpse behind.

"Oh? So this matter actually involves Tian Li Meng? I heard that Tian Li Meng, like the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly, is opposed to your True Demon Empire, how come you collude with them?"

Ling Xiao asked lightly.

"That’s all a facade. Ever since the True Demon Empire was established, Tian Li Meng has provided us with a lot of information and the whereabouts of various resistance organizations and individuals. Without them, we couldn’t have possibly killed all those rebels."

Jiao Lie replied.

"Are these few also people from Tian Li Meng?"

Ling Xiao wasn’t surprised at all by what Jiao Lie had said. Ever since Tian Li Meng had cornered itself and created that puppet state, he had no good feelings towards Tian Li Meng.

The reason he made Jiao Lie speak was for the members of the Revival Meeting to hear.

Because there were many in the Revival Meeting who wanted to collaborate with Tian Li Meng, wasn’t that just seeking the skin of a tiger?

Letting them know the truth would stop them from making foolish mistakes.

"What’s Gao Yangwen’s strength?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"The rumors say that Gao Yangwen once went overseas for martial arts training, visited Blackwater Immortal Island among the Five Immortal Islands. Some say he is a martial artist of the Yin-Yang Realm, others claim that he belongs to the Tenth Cave Heaven Realm. Regardless of the rumors, this Gao Yangwen is a ruthless character. In our True Demon Empire, if the Lightning Demon King and the Yin-Yang Demon King were not suppressing him, he would already be the top fighter."

Jiao Lie answered in detail.

"You’ve heard it. Our Tian Li Meng Alliance Leader is a powerhouse of the Yin-Yang Realm. Even if our Young Master has wronged your elder brother, what can you do about us?"

It seemed as if they felt that with the backing of Gao Yangwen, all would be well.

Several martial artists of Tian Li Menɡ suddenly became arrogant.

"So what if he is a Yin-Yang Realm powerhouse? It’s not like I have never killed one before. Si Kong Zun, also known as the Lightning Demon King, how does he compare to your Alliance Leader Gao Yangwen? He was still killed by me."

Ling Xiao revealed a chilling smile and said, "Since Gao Yangwen is tired of living, then I’ll oblige him. Tian Li Meng, including the country he founded, doesn’t need to exist anymore."

"You’re truly insane, talking nonsense!"

"Whether I am mad or not, you will find out shortly. I will give you a chance—take me to Gao Yangwen and Gao Yangjun. Whoever steps forward first, I will spare."

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.

"Me!"

In that instant, four out of the five martial artists from Tian Li Meng stepped forward almost at the same time.

"Just you. The rest can die now!"

With a casual swing of his sword, Ling Xiao caused four heads to fall to the ground.

Because he had borrowed Butterfly Girl’s power, killing for him at this moment was as effortless as blowing away the dust.

"Senior Brother Wu, take control of the City Lord’s Mansion. Don’t hold back; kill all the Sea Race, and those from the Green-eyed Clan who are willing to surrender can be taken in for now, but they must consume the medicinal pill I gave you, otherwise, they won’t be easy to control."

Ultimately, Ling Xiao couldn’t bring himself to purge Lanton City entirely, so he gave Wu Xiang many of the pills he concocted before that could control martial artists.

Once ingested, the pill would linger in the body for a long time. If one did not act out of line, naturally, there would be no problem. But if thoughts of betrayal arose, the poison would activate, and it would be fatal.

It was a marvelous pill closely linked to the soul, found by Ling Xiao in the Eternal Divine Pill Scripture.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Wu Xiang nodded.

Then, Ling Xiao turned to Jiao Lie: "Don’t worry. I won’t kill you, but you have to be unconscious for a while. You can leave only after I finish what I’ve set out to do."

As he spoke, Ling Xiao forced open Jiao Lie’s mouth and stuffed a blood-red pill inside.

This pill, different from the ones given to Wu Xiang, could render a person completely unconscious or even feign death.

Unless Ling Xiao personally woke him up, nobody would be able to do so.

Rash action would only lead to Jiao Lie’s death.

"Ling Xiao, you’re not seriously planning to go find Gao Yangwen, are you?"

Wu Xiang asked with concern.

"Of course, I’m going to find him. We need to eliminate Gao Yangwen first, or he’ll be a problem for our actions tomorrow. Rest assured, Senior Brother, I’m confident."

After speaking, Ling Xiao leaped into the sky, turned into a beam of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

He still had a Tian Li Menɡ member with him to show the way. At this speed, Wu Xiang and the others could only sigh in admiration at their own inadequacy.

"Sister Moon, I’m going to need your assistance this time."

Ling Xiao was someone who knew his limits. Against Gao Yangwen, victory was impossible for him, even if he used Butterfly Girl’s power.

After all, it was highly likely that Gao Yangwen was a Yin-Yang Realm powerhouse.

"Your matters are mine as well, it’s nothing."

Sister Moon nodded.

"Heh, Sister Moon, you’re always so good to me. However, in the future, I might try not to rely on you to take action."

Ling Xiao chuckled, wary of becoming too dependent on Sister Moon’s involvement—that wouldn’t be good.
