Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: Divine Guards Questioning Crimes

In front of the Great Sun World Lord and Phoenix Immeasurable, a grand royal wedding was utterly destroyed.

This was not just a slap to the faces of the nobles present.

It was also a direct and merciless slap to the Emperor himself.

The entire venue fell silent, like a city of the dead.

Everyone stared at the eighteen corpses neatly laid out on the ground, their hearts pounding violently.

These were all disciples of Phoenix God College—eighteen Martial Artists with cultivation levels above the Ten Directions Heaven—and Ling Xiao had slaughtered them so effortlessly.

Many had heard of Ling Xiao’s legendary exploits and knew he was the Heavenly Emperor who overthrew the True Demon Empire and established the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

But those feats were, after all, just rumors.

They might not have been entirely true.

Yet today, they witnessed the domineering presence of this Heavenly Emperor, a man who would kill for his people!

Who would offend an Emperor for the sake of his friends!

This kind of unyielding arrogance truly deserved the title of "Heavenly Emperor."

The aura that once surrounded Ji Mingxing now fully shifted to Ling Xiao.

He was the true genius of the Heavenly Dragon Continent!

The once-in-a-millennium prodigy!

Many people trembled inside, unable to suppress a terrifying thought.

If Ling Xiao dared to kill Ji Mingxing today, would he one day also dare to kill Phoenix Immeasurable, the Emperor?

No, he absolutely would!

This man had no fear or hesitation at all!

At some point, Feng Yingshan had already disappeared.

He had done what he came to do and knew this place would not remain peaceful today, so he chose to observe events from the shadows.

The Great Sun World Lord’s icy gaze radiated a terrifying killing intent.

But he did not act.

Because he knew that if he did, he would die.

A gentleman can wait ten years to take revenge. He refused to believe Moon Lady could protect Ling Xiao forever.

"Ling Xiao, you will pay the price for this."

He turned and ascended into the air, intending to summon all his connections in the Jianghu to issue a kill order against Ling Xiao.

At any cost!

However, as he soared mid-air, his body was suddenly split into two pieces.

The shadow of death enveloped him entirely.

"You’re not playing by the rules!"

In his final moments, the Great Sun World Lord still couldn’t believe that Moon Lady had acted and killed him outright.

Without a shred of mercy.

"Foolish."

Ling Xiao cast a calm glance at the Great Sun World Lord, then gestured with his hand. A black shadow shot through the air, extracting the storage ring from the Great Sun World Lord’s body.

This old man had roamed the Jianghu for decades; surely, he carried many treasures.

"Sister Moon, let’s go back."

Having killed Ji Mingxing, Ling Xiao’s purpose for coming here today was fulfilled. There was no need to linger any longer.

The crowd automatically parted to make way for him.

No one dared to stand in his way.

Ji Mingxing was dead!

The Great Sun World Lord was dead!

Only a fool would oppose such a demon head.

However, just as they left Shengzi Mansion, Ling Xiao found a heavily armed battalion of thousands stationed on the long street.

"By the Emperor’s decree, apprehend the rebel Ling Xiao!"

So Phoenix Immeasurable had issued such an order?

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

It seemed Phoenix Immeasurable had called for reinforcements, intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

"That old fox has arrived."

Moon Lady glanced at the sky, sensing an overwhelming aura spreading above.

"Sister Moon, go meet him. Just make sure not to get hurt."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"What about you? Can you handle so many people?"

Moon Lady asked worriedly.

"Numbers mean nothing—just a bunch of useless fools,"

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Useless fools?

He actually called the Righteous Divine Guardians under the Emperor’s command useless fools?

This was a powerful force, each member possessing at least a Half-step Cave Heaven Realm cultivation level.

Though they were only the outer ranks of the Righteous Divine Guardians, over a thousand Half-step Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists could easily overwhelm anyone—even someone of Ling Xiao’s First Cave Heaven Realm cultivation.

Much less if Ling Xiao wasn’t as strong as claimed.

"Just be careful!"

Moon Lady nodded lightly before soaring into the skies.

She had no idea how Phoenix Immeasurable managed to convince that old Ancestor to take action, but now that the elder had appeared, she had no choice but to confront him.

Perhaps due to the presence of over a thousand Righteous Divine Guardians,

and Moon Lady’s departure, the disciples of Phoenix God College suddenly found their courage reignited.

They circled behind Ling Xiao, Joshua Long, and Leng Mei, surrounding them. The air grew thick with violent rage and chilling killing intent.

Ji Mingxing might have been killed, but he had been one of their own, a Mingxing Crown Prince of Phoenix God College.

For Ling Xiao to kill him so casually was a humiliating disregard for them.

Only Peng Yue, Jia Tianfeng, and Kong Ming remained hesitant. The cunning foxes didn’t act immediately, waiting from the sidelines.

After all, who could say for sure what hidden trump cards Ling Xiao might still have?

Ling Xiao turned his gaze to the Chief of the Righteous Divine Guardians, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the disciples of Phoenix God College behind him, his smile growing even brighter.

Arrogance tinged with boundless dominance.

"Phoenix Immeasurable has made it clear he wants to oppose me?"

Ling Xiao said calmly.

"With just you? How dare you compare yourself to the Emperor?"

The Chief of the Righteous Divine Guardians looked at Ling Xiao with contempt.

As a First Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist with an army of Half-step Cave Heaven Martial Artists under his command, he couldn’t believe they couldn’t take down this Ling Xiao.

"Whether I’m worthy is not up to you to decide!"

Ling Xiao said flatly. "You may think being a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist makes you formidable, but you have no idea how many like you I’ve slain in Crime City."

"Nonsense! Ling Xiao, the only reason you act so brazenly is because of Moon Lady. Now that she’s gone, if you don’t surrender, we’ll kill you on the spot!"

To this Chief, the stories of Ling Xiao’s feats were clearly false—all credit for his victories belonged to Moon Lady. Anything else would be too far-fetched.

Ling Xiao said nothing, his face easing into a calm smile.

It was perfect timing; he had just mastered the Seventh Mystic Art of Light and Shadow, and he wanted to test its power.

This mystic art grew stronger the more enemies it faced.

Thus, he had no fear of their superior numbers.

Since they had completely torn away any pretense, there was no need to hesitate—he would kill and see how far Phoenix Immeasurable dared to go.

"Hidden Mountain Reserve Monarch, the Righteous Divine Guardians have rebelled and are conspiring to assassinate a prince of the Phoenix God Empire. What do you think I should do?"

Ling Xiao turned to glance at a distant tavern.

On the tavern’s upper floor, Feng Yingshan sat at a table watching the events unfold below.

Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Feng Yingshan couldn’t help but smile wryly. Ling Xiao was forcing him to take a side.

"Kill them without mercy!"

His icy voice echoed from the tavern. "The Righteous Divine Guardians may be a secret force that shields Phoenix God Empire, but if they rebel, they too must be annihilated."

"That’s more like it."

Ling Xiao couldn’t let Feng Yingshan stay idle. As allies, they needed to leverage every advantage.

If he was going to kill, he needed justifiable reasons to ensure no one could question him later.

The Chief of the Righteous Divine Guardians turned pale, his face dark as he glanced toward the distant tavern. Finally, he said, "We are under the Emperor’s orders to capture Ling Xiao."
