Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2722 - 2725: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Impertinent! Alexander Yin Mountain, are you taking advantage of the protection of the First Elder of the Sect and increasingly disregarding me, the Magic Dragon Envoy?"

Chen Luan was also angry.

Perhaps influenced by Ling Xiao, he no longer wanted to endure his suppressed life any longer.

Those days were truly unbearable.

The terrifying aura erupted from his body, with his cultivation level, killing Alexander Yin Mountain was as easy as turning a hand.

"Brother Chen Luan, let me handle this matter myself."

A voice sounded calmly in the night sky.

Chen Luan paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ling Xiao.

"Are you sure?"

"I am very sure!"

Ling Xiao said with a light smile, "Let me handle it. Such opponents are hard to come by."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Luan nodded and said, "Alright, since you say so, I'll listen to you. It's also Father's instruction."

Although he didn't know where Ling Xiao's confidence came from.

But since Ling Xiao proposed it, as a man, he couldn't stop a duel between men.

Ling Xiao looked at Alexander Yin Mountain again, wielded the Blood Thunder King Sword once more, and laughed: "Since you're going to fight, shall we have a life-and-death duel today?

If you die, no one should regret it!"

He aimed to push himself to the extreme.

Only by confronting death could he recover his cultivation level faster.

He didn't have time to wait because he believed Chen Cangxiong wouldn't give him much time either.

While he was recovering his cultivation level, Chen Cangxiong might be advancing his own.

The longer the time, the greater the disparity between them.

So Ling Xiao wanted to create a battle environment with no retreat, making it possible for him to recover faster.

Of course, with no retreat, there was the danger of death.

But it was better than waiting to be killed by Chen Cangxiong.

He had already conducted the most precise analysis of the danger levels of these two aspects.

"If you wish to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"

Alexander Yin Mountain first paused for a moment, then revealed an excited smile.

He really didn't expect Ling Xiao to propose a life-and-death duel with him.

He originally intended to bring it up but feared Ling Xiao would refuse out of fear.

Now, since the opponent himself offered this great opportunity, why wouldn't he accept?

Moreover, seeing Chen Luan's protective attitude towards Ling Xiao made him very unhappy.

In terms of talent, cultivation level, loyalty, which point did he fall short of Ling Xiao?

But why did it have to be this way?

He wasn't convinced!

Just when Ling Xiao was about to engage in this life-and-death duel with Alexander Yin Mountain, suddenly a golden light emitted from the Demon Child Hall.

That was Xiao Jin's signal.

Someone had infiltrated the Demon Child Hall, intending to harm Heiye Wuxing.

Instantly, Ling Xiao became calm.

He coldly glanced at Alexander Yin Mountain and said, "If something happens to the Mountain Master, I will definitely kill you!"

To him, Alexander Yin Mountain and the person who infiltrated the Demon Child Hall must be together.

Even if they hadn't coordinated in advance, they were surely accomplices.

Because the timing of Alexander Yin Mountain's arrival and that person's arrival was too coincidental, he never believed such coincidences existed.

"If you're scared, then admit and don't make excuses."

Alexander Yin Mountain said coldly.

"Excuses? Hmph, the candidate selection for the upper position will start tomorrow, we will inevitably meet, you want a life-and-death duel, I'll accompany you to the end!"

Ling Xiao didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Alexander Yin Mountain and turned to head towards where Heiye Wuxing was.

"Ling Xiao, I truly hope you don't get eliminated so quickly.

Tomorrow, you'll face Liu Yan, defeating him is quite challenging for you.

Don't fall in the ring like a loser, that would make me feel ashamed.

I actually lost to a loser like you in vying for the Sect Master's disciple qualification."

Watching Ling Xiao leave, Alexander Yin Mountain said coldly.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a sound of something piercing through the air came.

A terrifying powerful energy pierced through the air, shattered the moonlight, and fiercely stabbed towards Alexander Yin Mountain's forehead.

Sensing that terrifying powerful energy, Alexander Yin Mountain paused for a moment.

But it was just a moment, and then he raised his hand, releasing a gust of wind, colliding with the attack.

Only then did he realize that the projectile was actually a leaf.

Yet this leaf, like a sharp blade, cut through his attack before being shattered.

"Alexander Yin Mountain, rather than whining like a disgruntled woman, it's better to defeat me in the selection competition!

That would show your ability, now with your babbling, don't you feel stupid?

If you want to prove you're more suited to be the Sect Master's disciple than I am, then show real skill."

Chen Luan had already gone to help Xiao Jin, allowing Ling Xiao to have the leisure to talk nonsense with Alexander Yin Mountain.

"If you lose, will you voluntarily leave the Demon Dragon Sect?"

Alexander Yin Mountain said coldly.

"Of course, provided you have the power to do so."

Ling Xiao threw down these words and turned to leave.

Standing alone in the cold night wind, Alexander Yin Mountain took a deep breath and clenched his fist hard.

"An imposter dares to look down on me!

Fine, since you want to compete with me, I'll defeat you fair and square in the selection.

I'll show the Sect Master that you're not as good as me, and you're not qualified to be his disciple!"

Alexander Yin Mountain gritted his teeth and then turned to leave.

He arrived at the room where Heiye Wuxing was placed.

Ling Xiao saw a person lying on the ground.

Xiao Jin and Chen Luan were standing by.

That person had already committed suicide.

Clearly, coming here, this guy had decided to ensure the person behind wouldn't be exposed.

Ling Xiao chuckled coldly, walked over, and grabbed that person.

"Soul Capturing!"

The person had just died, and the soul hadn't left the body, so Soul Capturing was still effective.

After a moment, he said coldly: "Sure enough, it was the deed of the Third Sect Elder.

He first sent this loser to sneak attack the Mountain Master in the dead of night, then let Alexander Yin Mountain come to provoke me, drawing me away.

Doing so, he could succeed.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Xiao Jin's power; otherwise, they might have succeeded."

"Boss, what do we do next?"

Xiao Jin asked.

"Don't spread the word now; it's not the time to deal with the Third Sect Elder; bear with it for now."

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Once I recover my cultivation level, it will be the Third Sect Elder's time to die."

Chen Luan looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.

He thought of Ling Xiao as someone who acted naturally and somewhat recklessly.

Yet Ling Xiao also knew how to endure.

"You shouldn't be so surprised, Brother Chen Luan. I'm not an idiot; knowing the opponent is unbeatable but still provoking them isn't brave, it's asking for death!"

Ling Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "That's enough for today. Brother Chen Luan, you should go back and rest well. Since we know who the mastermind is now, I need to make arrangements in the Demon Child Hall."

Previously, they were fishing, so he didn't set up an Array Formation in the Demon Child Hall, allowing the assassin to sneak in.

But now it's different; knowing the culprit, there's no need to take that risk anymore.
