Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Return to Hometown in Glory

Having just surrendered these people, Ling Xiao knew that they were none too easy to control, and he couldn’t treat them as brothers. Without a special method of control, chaos would ensue once order was lost.

Therefore, feeding them his specially made pills was essential.

Meanwhile, Xie Li led disguised Scorpion people to infiltrate Lanton City, helping Wu Xiang to complete the handover and gain complete control of Lanton City.

After dealing with the matters of the City Lord’s Mansion, Wu Xiang rushed to the stronghold of Tian Li Meng, where Ling Xiao was.

In fact, managing affairs here was somewhat easier than at the City Lord’s Mansion, as they were all humans. Thus, they could simply be fed the specially made pills.

Ling Xiao didn’t concern himself with these details, leaving them to the Revival Meeting led by Wu Xiang.

The Revival Meeting was not lacking in numbers, with most of their members active in various places, even including a team of over a thousand hidden in the forests outside the city.

This team entered Lanton City under the cover of night and took up positions, waiting only for Ling Xiao’s command to launch a total offensive, signaling the start of the war to overthrow the True Demon Empire.

In the Northern Han Kingdom, they were also coordinating with the actions here, beginning to prepare the army, ready to attack the True Demon Empire at any moment.

That night, Gao Yangwen’s head was brought by Wu Xiang to Tian Li Meng and handed over to a deputy who had always been greatly dissatisfied with Gao Yangwen.

This deputy of Tian Li Meng, who was most displeased with Gao Yangwen’s collusion with the True Demon Empire, immediately struck a deal with Wu Xiang and launched an internal coup.

They quickly purged Gao Yangwen’s loyalists, took control of Tian Li Meng, and declared their joint intent to oppose the True Demon Empire in alignment with the Northern Han Kingdom.

The future allegiance of Tian Li Meng is yet to be determined for the time being; having a common goal right now is the best outcome.

Almost at the same time, Bai Qianjiao and Hong Li were rushing toward the Magic Capital.

This time, they returned to the Magic Capital from the Divine Phoenix Continent to participate in the Hero Conference hosted there.

Bai Qianjiao was still clad in her white garments, looking tough and aloof.

Hong Li, on the other hand, donned a fiery red dress, her demeanor always conveying a sense of pride and complacency.

After all, the Sea Race had already swallowed up most of the territory in the Heavenly Dragon Continent, where their status was much higher than in the Divine Phoenix Continent.

"Senior sister, upon our return to the Heavenly Dragon Continent this time, we must take the first and second places at the Hero Conference. Let those despicable humans on the Heavenly Dragon Continent see that our Sea Race is the best!"

Hong Li always looked down upon humans.

Ever since her defeat by Ling Xiao at the Martial Arts Festival, she has been brooding over it.

In this nearly one year’s time, her cultivation at Phoenix God College has been exceptionally diligent, and her cultivation level has risen very quickly.

Combined with the Sea Race’s natural advantages and her exceptional talent, she has now reached the Late Stage of the Six Arts Realm.

In her view, her cultivation level was surely top-notch among the young martial artists who had participated in the Martial Arts Festival that year.

Yet her senior sister, Bai Qianjiao, was even more formidable.

Having awakened the Great White Shark Martial Soul, Bai Qianjiao’s cultivation had reached the Early Stage of the Seven Star Sky.

Therefore, the two of them were bound to become the protagonists of this conference.

"Hong Li, there will always be someone better out there, so let’s not be too arrogant. I’ve heard that Ling Xiao has reached the level of the Ten Great Phoenix Children of the Phoenix God Empire. If he also competes, I’m afraid we won’t be able to win,"

Bai Qianjiao, unlike Hong Li, was more cautious and prudent: "Moreover, there’s Ji Mingkong. Her cultivation level might not be weaker than ours. This Hero Conference is really an unknown affair."

"Senior sister, aren’t you giving too much credit to others while putting yourself down? I know Ling Xiao has made a big stir, but aren’t those all just rumors? Do you really believe he’s that powerful? Besides, this Hero Conference is held in the Magic Capital, would he dare to come?"

Hong Li disdainfully said.

"In any case, it’s always good to be careful."

Bai Qianjiao didn’t quite believe that Ling Xiao could reach the level of the Ten Phoenix Sons, but she felt that Ling Xiao’s cultivation shouldn’t be weaker than theirs.

"Rest assured, Qianjiao, even if that Ling Xiao truly dares to go to Magic Capital, I will make sure he never returns."

Riding side by side with Bai Qianjiao and Hong Li on tall warhorses was a young man in his twenties.

If Ling Xiao were here, he would certainly recognize this person as none other than Peacock Phoenix Kong He.

All of the Ten Great Phoenix Children of the Phoenix God Empire are under thirty years old.

This Peacock Phoenix Son Kong He is only twenty-two, but his cultivation level has already reached the Half-step Cave Sky Realm.

Though this cultivation level is ranked last among the Ten Phoenix Children, it is still exceptionally strong compared to other martial artists of the same age.

Kong He has always been pursuing Bai Qianjiao. Thus, he also followed Bai Qianjiao and Hong Li back to Magic Capital, hoping to show his worth to both.

After all, as a noble of the Peacock Clan in the Phoenix God Empire, he has quite a reputation to uphold.

With a smile, Bai Qianjiao glanced at Kong He and said, "Thank you, Kong He, for being willing to accompany us back to Magic Capital this time."

In reality, she harbored no feelings for Kong He.

Even though Kong He was considered quite outstanding among young martial artists, Bai Qianjiao’s affections lay with someone else.

Ever since that person entered her life, he had completely captured her heart.

But some things, she could not say outright.

As for the current Kong He, she still did not dare to provoke him.

"Senior Sister, why be so polite with him? The Peacock Phoenix will sooner or later become my brother-in-law, hehe."

Laughing, Hong Li interjected from the side.

"Don’t talk nonsense. We’re approaching Magic Capital; let’s hurry up," Bai Qianjiao, feeling somewhat flustered, said as she urged her horse to quicken its pace.

By this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was indeed time to quicken their pace.

Bai Qianjiao was preoccupied with many thoughts.

Both Hong Li and Kong He, on the other hand, were full of spirit and vigor.

Especially Kong He; in his eyes, what were these Hero Conferences but child’s play? With his intervention, wouldn’t the first place be easily within grasp?

After all, the Hero Conference is open only to martial artists under the age of thirty.

As far as he knew, among martial artists under thirty on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, not one could contend with him.

This was the conclusion drawn by the intelligence systems of both the Phoenix God Empire and the True Demon Empire.

He had no reason to doubt it.

However, what he did not know was that Ling Xiao had already arrived at the Divine Phoenix Continent and now had control over Lanton City, making his way toward Magic Capital.

He was also unaware that since arriving on the Divine Phoenix Continent, Ling Xiao had personally eliminated two martial artists with First Cave Heaven Realm Early Stage cultivation levels.

The Ling Xiao of today was no longer someone Kong He could control.

Soaring hand in hand with the Moon Lady through the sky, overlooking the Magic Capital below, Ling Xiao was filled with a surge of emotions.

Scenes from his past unavoidably rose before his eyes.

Back then, he was just a little beggar who could be bullied by everyone, with his daily goal being just to survive.
