Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

"Grand Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Lian asked in confusion.

"Don't you understand? This boy must have colluded with people from the Sky Demon Sect to poison you, then came to remove the venom, obviously having ulterior motives!"

The Grand Elder harshly pinned the crime on Ling Xiao, saying coldly, "Otherwise, how do you explain that even one of the Seven Little Saints, Little Dot, couldn't solve the problem, but he could?"

"You are simply unreasonable!"

Ling Xiao remarked coldly, "Those two who ambushed me outside the secret room, were they arranged by you?"

He came here not to seek reward, for he had already obtained what he needed. Now, he was here to settle the score with the Grand Elder.

However, before killing this old wretch, he had to clarify some things.

"Yes, I sent them. What of it? You insidious thief, for the safety of Lian Er, I naturally had to be cautious. Where are they?"

The Grand Elder was clearly interrogating.

"Dead!"

Ling Xiao replied indifferently.

"What! You dare to kill Liu family martial artists within the Liu family? Liu Cheng, you heard this, will you still stop me from dealing with him?"

The Grand Elder was truly playing the villain accusing first.

"Heh, if I didn't kill them, should I have waited for them to kill me?"

Ling Xiao sneered with disdain.

Liu Cheng hesitated to speak.

His daughter was now cured, so there was nothing left to seek from Ling Xiao. Because of this, although he would not hold Ling Xiao accountable, he also had no intent to protect him.

This left Ling Xiao feeling somewhat disheartened.

This man, though he cares for his daughter, is also a petty, ungrateful person.

"Father, Young Master Ling saved my life, do you really want to watch Grand Elder harm him?"

Liu Lian's stance was clear; she stood directly in front of Ling Xiao, determined not to let anyone harm him.

Otherwise, she would truly have no face to continue living.

"Miss Liu, please step aside."

Ling Xiao's voice suddenly turned icy, sending a shiver through Liu Lian, making her feel desolate.

But Ling Xiao had to do this; he couldn't let Liu Lian become an enemy of the entire Liu family for his sake.

So after he killed the Grand Elder, he would leave, severing all ties with the Liu family, as if they had never met.

"Sun Wu Ji, kill him!"

Ling Xiao suddenly turned to Sun Wu Ji and commanded.

Upon hearing Ling Xiao's order, Sun Wu Ji seemed momentarily frozen, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

He was already standing behind the Grand Elder, and at this moment, he suddenly drew his sword, stabbing through the Grand Elder's heart.

Though the Grand Elder was not dead, he was severely wounded, and in a furious backlash, he struck Sun Wu Ji, sending him flying.

However, as Sun Wu Ji flew out, the powerful energy on the longsword had already destroyed the Grand Elder's heart.

Even for a martial artist with Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, generally speaking, without a heart, death was inevitable.

The Grand Elder quickly fell to the ground, looking in horror at Sun Wu Ji, whom he had killed with a single palm strike.

He didn't understand how his meticulously crafted plan could fail so easily?

Why would Sun Wu Ji listen to that boy?

He died without ever comprehending the situation.

The scene happened so fast that even Liu Cheng and the other two elders hadn't reacted.

Liu Lian was completely baffled by the occurrence.

Ling Xiao then said, "Miss Liu, see you at the White Tiger Summit. The venom in your body has been cleared. I believe within ten days or so, you'll recover your previous cultivation level. If we meet at the White Tiger Summit, you need not show mercy."

With that, Ling Xiao turned and walked away.

"Stop, having killed the Grand Elder, how can we let you leave so easily?"

The Second Elder and Third Elder quickly sprang forward to block Ling Xiao's path.

"Whoever dares to stop him, I shall kill!"

Liu Lian suddenly leapt forward, her icy gaze fixed on the two elders, saying coldly, "Though my cultivation hasn't fully recovered, killing you two is no problem!"

Her aura was even stronger than before, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"But he killed the Grand Elder!"

They protested.

"So what if he killed? The Grand Elder deserved to die!

He attacked my savior; even if he didn't kill him, I would! Since when has our Liu family become a house of ingratitude?"

With her cultivation much restored, Liu Lian spoke with newfound confidence.

The once delicate and easy-to-bully woman now showed true dominance.

"Two elders, back off, let Young Master Ling leave."

In the end, Liu Cheng favored his daughter more, and he always sensed that Ling Xiao was not a simple man, not wanting to fully incur his wrath.

Seeing the Second Elder and Third Elder abandon the chase, Liu Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

Though she appeared so powerful, in truth, it was just external bravado.

Her cultivation could not have recovered that quickly.

Only her aura had returned to its former strength.

Liu Lian turned to look at Ling Xiao, only to find his figure already gone.

Ling Xiao, determined to leave, who in this small Liu family could stop him?

She hurried out the door to pursue.

No matter what, there were things she must say, and the reward she promised Ling Xiao was still undelivered.

Liu Lian chased outside the door, yet Ling Xiao was nowhere in sight, her eyes instantly clouded.

"Do you really despise me so much that you won't even let me say a word of thanks?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt her body lighten as if being lifted.

Ling Xiao had not left; he was standing on the rooftop.

He just didn't want to see the Liu family's other faces, but Liu Lian wasn't one of them.

"You didn't leave?"

Liu Lian asked excitedly looking at Ling Xiao.

"Why would I leave without receiving my reward?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said.

"Right, I promised you another treasure from the Liu family!"

Liu Lian suddenly turned shy.

"Another treasure?"

"Yes, aside from the Tai Chi Stone, the Liu family has another treasure."

"That would be great, if you are willing to give, I am naturally willing to receive."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Really?"

Liu Lian asked.

"Of course it's real. Who wouldn't like treasures?"

Ling Xiao didn't understand why Liu Lian would ask that.

Liu Lian smiled charmingly and said, "Alright, a man true to his word, even four horses cannot chase it. Don't go back on your word."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling.

"The other treasure of the Liu family is naturally me. Do you dare to take it?"

As Liu Lian finished these words, she blushed as red as a blooming rose.

"How could I accept that?"

Ling Xiao was left dumbfounded.

"Why can't you accept? If you take me, then Sun Wu Shuang would surely turn away; after all, those people value reputation highly and would never fancy a woman like me, seen as damaged goods."

As Liu Lian spoke, she grew more confident, her blushing face gradually returning to normal, clearly showing her determination.
