Chapter 406: 406

Hei Suo, across from him, had no idea of Ling Xiao’s thoughts. The ghost fire behind him blazed continuously—today, he intended to use Ling Xiao’s blood to cut through his own inner demons and ascend another step on the path of martial arts!

The onlookers’ eyes were glued to the battle.

Initially, they had thought the fight was nothing more than child’s play, likely to be over in an instant.

However, they now realized that this battle might prove quite spectacular.

Ling Xiao, if not moving, was an enigma, but once he made his move, he brought on such a terrifying aura that it surprised and excited them alike.

At last, this fight wouldn’t be a boring one.

"Ling Xiao, you’ve got some nerve!"

Suddenly, among the crowd of spectators, Elder Jin roared with anger, his powerful presence enveloping Ling Xiao, "You dare to conceal your cultivation level, lurking in the Outer Sect with what schemes in mind!"

The formidable aura of a Heavenly Person Realm Expert burst forth like terrifying thunder, striking Ling Xiao directly as he faced off against Hei Suo.

This aura shattered the phantom behind Ling Xiao, making his own aura falter and blood spurt from his mouth.

Ling Xiao had been fully concentrated on his standoff with Hei Suo, focusing all his energy on his opponent, never anticipating that an Elder Supreme from the Enforcement Hall would stoop so low as to ambush him in such a despicable and shameless manner.

Even though it was just suppressive pressure from the aura, it contained the powerful True Essence of the Heavenly Man Realm, completely overpowering his own aura.

At the same time, Hei Suo took advantage of the gap, the burning heat from his ghost fire severely injuring Ling Xiao.

As a result, Ling Xiao was gravely hurt before the fight had even started.

The Inner Sect Disciples who were spectating, as well as the other three Elders, were taken aback, their gazes at Elder Jin complicated.

Guanghan Celestial Venerate even stood up in violent anger, "Elder Jin, you are utterly despicable and shameless, a disgrace to the Moon Hua Sect’s Enforcement Hall Elder. It was bad enough when you were biased last time, but now, to ambush a junior—are you not ashamed at all!"

"Humph, Ling Xiao concealed his cultivation level, deceiving the Sect. I was merely giving him a small punishment!" Elder Jin retorted coldly.

Just then, Ling Xiao’s voice suddenly rose, cold yet filled with contempt, "Elder Jin! If you wish to help your grandson, you might as well kill me yourself. After all, I’m weak and no match for you. An Elder Supreme, a senior who has lived over two hundred years, yet chooses such despicable means to deal with a junior, truly shameless and vile! I don’t understand how a person as shameless as you still has the face to serve as the Head of the Enforcement Hall! You are a disgrace to the Moon Hua Sect!"

No sooner had Ling Xiao finished speaking than the Inner Sect elite disciples around them were left agape, utterly stunned—

This kid really had a death wish, utterly arrogant, direct, and bold!

Even against an Elder Supreme and Head of the Enforcement Hall of the Moon Hua Sect, he didn’t mince words, did not show weakness, and boldly denounced the other party for being despicable and shameless!

Elder Jin was so furious smoke might as well have been coming out of his ears, his pupils contracting sharply as he stood up with a "whoosh."

Just as Ling Xiao had said, his intention had indeed been to find an excuse to assist Hei Suo, thinking Ling Xiao wouldn’t dare to utter a word in protest.

An Outer Sect Disciple, daring to go against a Sect’s Elder Supreme?

He probably wouldn’t even dare to fart.

But he was wrong!

Utterly, wildly wrong!

Ling Xiao was not the kind of person to stay silent when bullied!

This kid was crazier than imagined!

And had more courage!

"Fiend! What did you just say to me?"

Elder Jin’s eyes flashed with intense killing intent. As the Elder Supreme and Head of the Enforcement Hall of the Moon Hua Sect, even the Sect Leader wouldn’t dare to reprimand him like this. And yet, a mere Outer Disciple, a junior, had the audacity to point at his nose and curse him out loud.

If he did not kill this junior, how could he ever sit in the position of Head of the Enforcement Hall again?

"Elder Jin, there’s no need to intimidate a small Outer Disciple like me. You say I’m hiding my cultivation level, heh, even if that were true, may I ask the honorable Elder Supreme, which rule of the Moon Hua Sect forbids disciples from concealing their cultivation levels? Or which rule states that a disciple must ascend to the Inner Sect once their cultivation reaches the Transcendent Realm?"

Ling Xiao said coldly, "Elder Supreme, such an imposing manner! Does the Elder Supreme think he can distort the truth and disregard the facts? Ah! That’s right, I am hiding my cultivation level, so what!"

As he spoke, Ling Xiao removed the disguise he had maintained all along, and the aura of his cultivation at the Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak emerged.

In that instant, his injuries had almost completely healed.

The fifth layer of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, cultivated to perfection, could indeed bring someone back to life with a drop of blood.

Even though Ling Xiao had yet to achieve this feat, recovering from minor injuries was a breeze for him.

"Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak cultivation!"

At this moment, Guanghan Celestial Venerate was shocked!

Golden Light Heavenly Lord was shocked!

Elder Jin and Elder Tu were both shocked simultaneously!

The other elite Inner Sect Disciples couldn’t believe what they saw in Ling Xiao!

This level of cultivation was not strong, but the problem was, when Ling Xiao had started, he only had the cultivation level of the Martial Vein Realm Eightfold Peak. He had only been accepted as a disciple for two months, yet he had already advanced to the Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak.

What kind of aptitude was this?

What kind of talent?

In his presence, the likes of Leng Hao and Ming Tian were simply weak!

Ling Xiao’s display of his cultivation level now was part of his own plan.

It was clear that Elder Jin of the Enforcement Hall, likely due to his relationship with Demonflame Celestial, was displeased with him and wanted to deal with him.

If he wanted the rest of the sect’s high-level protection, he needed to showcase his extraordinary talent.

For the current Moon Hua Sect, the value of an Elder Supreme was absolutely incomparable to a supreme genius.

Elder Jin had lived for over two hundred years, and his cultivation level had been stagnant in the Heavenly Man Realm for over a hundred years; he basically had no future prospects.

But Ling Xiao was different. Within two months, he had risen from the Martial Vein Realm Eightfold Peak to the Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak. Given a few years, he might even surpass Elder Jin, and ascending to the Cave Heaven Realm was not an impossibility.

The Moon Hua Sect wants to rise up and shake off the impression of being the weakest among the Twelve Sects—it needs to give birth to a Cave Heaven Realm expert!

And the talent displayed by Ling Xiao would definitely become a key figure to be protected by the sect.

Moreover, Ling Xiao hadn’t committed any acts of betrayal against the school; he had merely cursed the despicable and shameless Elder Jin. The rest of the high-level members of the sect wouldn’t ignore a super-genius over such an incident, letting him, Elder Jin, harm the young genius at will.

Ling Xiao, having released the aura of the Transcendent Realm Second Layer Peak, did not stop his speech. He looked coldly at Elder Jin and continued, "Such a dignified Elder Supreme, a senior of the Moon Hua Sect, one of the judges of this battle, actually resorts to underhanded tactics against a disciple because of personal hatred. Your behavior is more than just shameless, it’s utterly despicable! Completely faceless!"

The other three Elders sitting here, don’t you feel shame sitting alongside this despicable old man?"

His voice was even louder than before!
