Chapter 696: Chapter 696 Stronger than you! _1

Join the Heavenly King Sect?

"His Highness the Saint’s Son, this isn’t what we agreed upon, is it?"

Chen Nanxing was anxious.

"Shut your mouth! As long as Ling Xiao is willing to join the Heavenly King Sect and become a servant of this palace, then all crimes can be forgiven!"

The Saint’s Son shouted sternly.

Wu Xiang dared to defy the Saint’s Son.

Ling Xiao dared as well.

But Chen Nanxing did not dare.

Hearing the Saint’s Son’s words, some core disciples within the Moon Hua Sect were actually tempted.

After all, the Heavenly King Sect was the most powerful among the Twelve Sects; joining the Heavenly King Sect was practically like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

As for being a servant to the Saint’s Son, they were more than willing.

They would even grovel, not to mention becoming a servant—what was that in comparison?

They knew that the servants of the Saint’s Son would eventually become powerful and influential people in the Sacred Dynasty. Then, what martial arts couldn’t they learn? What resources couldn’t they obtain?

This was also of great help to their cultivation.

Having spoken, the Saint’s Son slightly lifted her beautiful and fair chin, looking at Ling Xiao with a pride akin to that of a peacock, waiting for Ling Xiao’s answer.

In her view, such conditions should be enough to drive any disciple of Sacred Dynasty mad with excitement, particularly the male disciples!

However, dreams are full, while reality is skeletal.

Ling Xiao’s behavior was completely different from what the Saint’s Son had imagined.

There was no hesitation on his face, nor any sign of joy. Instead, his eyes were filled with deep killing intent and fury.

Ling Xiao came up from a life of begging as a beggar; he had seen too many people like the Saint’s Son, looking down from their lofty perch, not even regarding beggars as human.

He despised such expressions, wanting to trample and ravage the last bit of self-respect held by beggars.

Ling Yu was once a typical example.

Now, the arrogance and disrespect shown by the Saint’s Son was simply ten times worse than that of Ling Yu.

A servant?

I, Ling Xiao, would rather return to being a beggar than serve as someone’s servant!

Not to mention you, Saint’s Son, even the Sacred Emperor wouldn’t do!

"What are you trying to do!"

The Saint’s Son was startled by Ling Xiao’s expression and subconsciously took a step back.

Another Cave Heaven Realm expert from the Heavenly King Sect stood in front of the Saint’s Son, coldly staring at Ling Xiao, ready to mercilessly slay Ling Xiao should he dare to act rashly.

"Do you think you’re noble? You are nothing but wielding the power and influence handed down from your ancestors!

Do you think you’re great? The great one is your ancestor Ji Xuanyuan, not you!

Do you think you’re formidable? With ninety percent of the power of a Half-step Celestial, and as the first of the Six Young Masters of the Sacred Dynasty, you might take pride in that. But I can tell you that in this year’s Martial Arts Festival, I will personally defeat you!

Have me serve as your servant? Honestly, I really want to slaughter you, just to quell the rage in my heart!"

"Kill her, I’ll take responsibility," said Sister Moon indifferently.

She was like a fairy above the dust of the world, yet harbored a unique affection only for Ling Xiao.

The Saint’s Son’s face showed a look of terror.

She now regretted it deeply, wishing she had invited her master, the Heavenly King Sect Leader, personally.

If Sister Moon made a move now, she believed that even the two Cave Heaven Realm martial artists in front of her would not be able to stop her.

Ling Xiao turned his head and gave Moon Lady a glance, smiling as he said, "Sister Moon is really good to me, allowing me to be so willful."

A blush floated up to Moon Lady’s cheeks.

Ling Xiao thought to himself: You treat me so well, how could I possibly let you fall into danger?

He was very clear that with Moon Lady present today, killing the Saint’s Son would definitely be no problem.

But after doing so, Moon Lady would surely become a common enemy of both the Sacred Dynasty and the Heavenly King Sect.

He believed there were Yin-Yang Realm masters in both the Heavenly King Sect and the Sacred Dynasty. Moon Lady was not invincible, and he absolutely couldn’t let anything happen to her.

He looked at the Saint’s Son again, disdainfully saying, "You need not fear, I will defeat you fair and square at the Martial Arts festival. I won’t kill you here."

Hearing this, the Saint’s Son and the two Cave Heaven Realm experts of the Heavenly King Sect all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, a chill arose in their hearts.

"This child, clearly angry and unwilling, is able to handle the situation with such calm. Too terrifying. This is the kind of person who is the most difficult to deal with! No wonder Chen Nanxing offered the ’Sword King Sacred Scripture’ as the price to ask His Highness the Saint’s Son to settle this matter. This kid, he really can’t be left alive. Too dangerous."

The Saint’s Son took a deep breath and said, "I did underestimate you indeed. No wonder Jian Wuji is wary of you. But do you know that although my master and the emperor did not give an official decree this time, they did give me verbal instructions?"

"Which means they also don’t dare to offend Moon Hua Sect openly?"

Ling Xiao had a unique approach.

The Saint’s Son frowned and said, "You could think that, but this matter still needs to be resolved. You’ve killed so many of Sword King Sect’s people, it can’t just end like this. Since Sect Master Chen has sought me out, I must resolve the issue.

But I can give you a chance!"

"A chance?"

Ling Xiao looked at the Saint’s Son with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"That’s right. In this upcoming Martial Arts festival, you can challenge me. If I lose, I will no longer interfere with this matter!

If you lose, then accept the Heavenly King Sect’s interrogation on the spot. Do you dare to accept?"

The Saint’s Son said lightly.

At this moment, she seemed to have regained her composure.

"Heh, this woman really is cunning and insidious. If I lose, with my nature, I would certainly not deny the debt and would definitely accept the interrogation from Heavenly King Sect and Sword King Sect in public. Whether I’d live or die is one thing, but my reputation would be ruined for sure. Even if I live, I’d have to bear a lifetime of infamy," Ling Xiao cursed inwardly, but his face showed a trace of mockery.

Chen Nanxing unexpectedly did not oppose the Holy Son’s proposition, for in his view, Ling Xiao simply could not possibly achieve the strength to defeat the Saint’s Son in such a short time.

So while it seemed there were two possible outcomes, in reality, there was only one.

If Ling Xiao agreed, he would inevitably face interrogation.

And it would be a public interrogation, in front of all the Twelve Sects of the Sacred Dynasty.

"What do you say, Ling Xiao? You consider yourself exceptional, do you dare to agree?"

The Saint’s Son looked at Ling Xiao with a contemptuous gaze.

"Hahaha!"

Ling Xiao suddenly burst into uproarious laughter, then abruptly fixed his gaze on the Saint’s Son and shouted, "Your Highness the Saint’s Son, there is no need for such aggressive coercion. You offer these terms simply because you think I, Ling Xiao, could not possibly defeat you—the foremost of the Six Young Masters of the Sacred Dynasty at the Martial Arts festival!

The top expert of the Heavenly Dragon Continent under twenty years old, huh!

To speak unpleasantly, you’re just someone who acknowledged a good master and obtained a good Martial Soul, had better foundational training than me, and started earlier. That’s all! In other respects, you have no right to compare with me!

The Heavenly King Sect is powerful!

Your strength is also formidable!

But perhaps you don’t know that a year ago, I was just a first-layer Martial Vein Realm waste!

In one year, I have advanced to my current realm, and with days still to go before the Martial Arts festival, what makes you think I can’t surpass you?

Can’t defeat you?

What you can do, I can also do, and I will do it even better!"
