Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Sacrificing Whom to Raise the Flag

Watching the disgraceful display by Gao Yangwen, although some were uncomfortable in their hearts, they dared not say anything. After all, the man was indeed strong enough; defiance could mean death.

"Master Baiyun, let’s go. It seems the Gao Yang Alliance Leader has no intention of sitting down to negotiate with us."

All the fantasies in Ling Wuheng’s heart were completely shattered.

From now on, there would be no more possibilities for cooperation between the Northern Han Kingdom and the Heavenly Principle Country, unless Gao Yangwen died.

"Want to leave? I’m afraid it’s not that easy! Since you’ve learned the secrets of our Rebel Alliance, don’t even think about leaving here alive." Gao Yangwen sneered bleakly, "It would be nice to use you for a sacrifice to raise our flag."

"You want to fight?"

Master Baiyun frowned.

"So what if I do harm you two? One with One-line Heaven Cultivation and the other with Five Elements Sky Cultivation Level, to me, you are both trash, killing you is like killing dogs. Come on, seize these traitors of the True Demon Empire, and use them for a flag-raising ceremony on the day of the expedition."

Gao Yangwen shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Some martial artists, eager to be Gao Yangwen’s lackeys, jumped out from the crowd.

A dozen people, all Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, all leaders of the Rebel Alliance, although their strengths varied, it was still a certain victory to have so many attacking two individuals.

"Wuheng, I will take the opportunity to use that treasure later, you take the chance to escape."

Master Baiyun took a deep breath, his face showing resolute determination.

"I should be the one to use it." Ling Wuheng said.

"No need to argue anymore, I’m old and worn, but you have a limitless future. Who’s more or less important, I can see clearly," replied Master Baiyun as he raised his hand to protect Ling Wuheng, then looked down at the Storage Ring on his finger.

Inside was a Magical Treasure designed for mutual destruction, the user would surely die.

But if it could create an opportunity for Ling Wuheng to escape, he was willing to accept that.

"Neither of you need to die; the one that should die is him, Gao Yang Alliance Leader of Tian Li Meng!"

In the tense atmosphere of the great hall, suddenly a crisp voice rang out.

Immediately after, a youth landed amongst the crowd, and the powerful energy he released repelled the dozen attacking martial artists.

The youth’s face was gloomy, and his eyes icily fixed on Gao Yangwen seated on the Alliance Leader’s throne.

The unexpected appearance of this handsome youth was too dazzling.

As a result, everyone’s attention was drawn to him.

They were all somewhat astonished; a youth that seemed no older than sixteen or seventeen, was he out of his mind or what, to dare crash Gao Yangwen’s party?

For Gao Yangwen, who was extremely proud, this was an utter humiliation.

"Ling Xiao!"

The youth’s appearance shocked Ling Wuheng and Master Baiyun the most.

They couldn’t believe that they would see Ling Xiao here, under these circumstances, feeling incredibly stirred.

However, their worry soon replaced their excitement.

Against Gao Yangwen, how could Ling Xiao possibly stand a chance on his own?

"The Chosen Son of Heaven, Ling Xiao? Haha, I didn’t expect you would dare to walk right into the trap."

Gao Yangwen’s anger suddenly turned into ecstatic joy.

For him, in the grand scheme of unifying the Heavenly Dragon Continent, the only unpredictable factor was Ling Xiao.

Now Ling Xiao has appeared, standing right in front of him, ready to crush this young man at any moment.

However, Ling Xiao did not pay heed to his expression or words, and simply said indifferently: "Gao Yangjun is your son, right? Have him come out; I have some matters to ask him."

"Hahaha!"

Gao Yangwen laughed uproariously.

Has this young man in front of him lost his mind, to dare speak to him in such a manner?

"Young man, you’d better understand your situation. If you’re here to pledge allegiance to me, naturally, I welcome you, and in the future Sacred Dynasty, there will certainly be a place for you.

But if you’re here to cause trouble, I’ll surely use you and the two people behind you as sacrifices to raise my flag."

As he spoke, Gao Yangwen released his powerful energy from both hands, actually condensing two clumps of earthy yellow aura, thick and yet domineering.

And from his entire body, a natural outburst of violent battle intent and killing aura emerged, causing the martial artists in the great hall to shiver involuntarily.

They shook their heads gently, aghast at how unabashedly insolent the youth was in the face of Gao Yangwen, fearing that this young man was doomed.

However, if they thought that was being insolent or arrogant, they were gravely underestimating Ling Xiao.

The words Ling Xiao uttered next nearly caused their eyeballs to pop out.

"Pledge allegiance to you? Are you worthy? Even though you’re barely considered a Half-step Yin-Yang Realm Expert, and you’re the Alliance Leader of Tian Li Meng, at the end of the day, you’re nothing more than a vile dog grovelling at the feet of the True Demon Empire."

These words dropped like a Thunderbolt Bomb, utterly astonishing.

Stunned and fearful glances were cast towards Ling Xiao, everyone thinking that he had certainly gone mad.

But even if you’re mad, don’t do it here; if you provoke Gao Yangwen, it might bring disaster to bystanders as well.

A Half-step Yin-Yang Realm Expert is regarded as nothing by this young man?

But let’s not forget, when Gao Yangwen founded Tian Li Meng, he was besieged by the Sacred Dynasty’s grand army, and with his own strength alone, he slaughtered one hundred thousand troops, successfully protecting Tian Li Meng.

And that event happened ten years ago when Gao Yangwen’s cultivation level was merely at the Seventh Cave Heaven, not yet at the Half-step Yin-Yang Realm.

Could this young man be unaware of this past event, consequently ignorantly provoking such a fearsome butcher?

Among the guests, there were indeed Martial Artists from the True Demon Empire, just in disguise.

This person was none other than the City Lord of Modu City, from the True Demon Empire, here this time to secretly support Gao Yangwen.

Hearing Ling Xiao describe the mighty True Demon Empire so lightly and indifferently, anger started to swell within him.

Yet, he did not reveal his identity.

Gao Yangwen had completely lost his temper, his face, which once embodied wisdom and martial prowess, turned hideously terrifying in an instant.

A cup was smashed to pieces on the floor by him, and immediately dozens of people charged into the room, all elite martial artists of Tian Li Meng, surrounding Ling Xiao, Ling Wuheng, and Master Baiyun.

"Impudent boy, I gave you face, yet you dismiss it. Since I founded Tian Li Meng, never has anyone dared speak to me like this; you are truly the first. Today, if I don’t use you to fortify my flag, I would truly let down the countless brothers and sisters of Tian Li Meng."

Gao Yangwen’s voice was sinister and ice-cold. In his eyes, cooperation was no longer possible, and even if Ling Xiao wished to collaborate, he would not agree.

Such an arrogant and ignorant youngster, only by killing him can I quell the resentment in my heart.

"Heh, everyone can talk tough; today, let’s see just who will be used to fortify the flag!"

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile: "When you first founded Tian Li Meng, you upheld the idea of enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven, which I truly admired.

But now, you’re nothing more than an old bastard who recognizes a thief as his father. Killing you would probably please the majority on the Heavenly Dragon Continent."

Amidst the light laughter, that single sentence once again exploded throughout the crowd.
