Chapter 1735: Crucial Intelligence from Tianlong Trade Company
"Pretty fast, huh!"
Ling Xiao sneered, "I've said it, whoever dares to snatch my Yin-Yang Yuanli Pill again, shall be killed without mercy!"
As his voice rang out, the void actually tore open, and a blood-covered martial artist was dragged out from within.
The ten Yin-Yang Yuanli Pills were retrieved perfectly intact by Ling Xiao and placed back on the stall.
"What a terrifying young man, he can even pull out a martial artist using a Concealment Technique!"
People watched the scene in shock.
Initially, they thought the young man would concede this time, but who knew that the one who fell in the end was the martial artist who had taken the Yin-Yang Yuanli Pill.
"Die!"
The martial artist who was dragged out still attempted to flee, but how could Ling Xiao possibly let him escape?
Ling Xiao had already said before, whoever dared to touch his pills must be killed.
Since someone ignored his warning and came courting death, they had only themselves to blame.
With a casual fling, a Shadow Cone pierced through the void, directly penetrating the martial artist's skull.
The martial artist stood there in terror, his body even maintaining a fleeing posture.
Too bad, he would not behold the Red Sun of tomorrow.
When Ling Xiao killed, he never showed mercy.
If they shouldn't be killed, he wouldn't kill; if they're meant to die, he wouldn't spare a single one.
The most crucial point was that the strongest of the martial artists trying to snatch his pills was only at the Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Level, just like his cultivation level.
This kind of rubbish dares to provoke him, truly overestimating themselves.
However, there were always those unafraid of death.
Even with Ling Xiao having already killed two people, a hand still reached out from the ground, trying to seize the ten Yin-Yang Yuanli Pills while Ling Xiao wasn't looking.
Puppet Beast?
Lingxiao's Taiji Eye rotated, revealing a Puppet Beast with strange tentacles hidden underground, rather than a martial artist.
This martial artist was actually smart, thinking of using this method.
Did he think that even if it failed, Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to find him?
Truly naive!
Ling Xiao directly struck the ground with his palm, and a Shadow Cone pierced through the ground, hitting the Puppet Beast beneath.
Meanwhile, his Soul Power was released, instantly locking onto the mastermind behind the scenes.
Seeing the plan fail, that person immediately turned to flee, not pausing for a moment.
"Since you've come, why leave in such a hurry!"
Son of Shadow · Shadow Kill!
Ling Xiao didn't leave the stall, yet that person died dozens of meters away.
The Son of Shadow's attack range spanned over a thousand meters; a mere few dozen meters was nothing to him.
After killing three people, Ling Xiao still sat cross-legged, the ten Yin-Yang Yuanli Pills remained on the stall, as if nothing had ever happened.
Three people targeted the Yin-Yang Yuanli Pill, resulting in all three dying.
This event finally made the martial artists originally eyeing the Yin-Yang Yuanli Pill restrain themselves somewhat.
Without sufficient confidence in their own cultivation level, no one dared to act recklessly.
After all, although the Perfect Grade Yin-Yang Yuanli Pill was good, it wasn't worth risking their lives over.
Another hour passed, the sky had darkened.
Ling Xiao sighed; although his cultivation level had once again broken through to the late stage of the Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Level.
However, there was still no clue regarding the Dragon Blood Grass and the Secret Realm Map.
He didn't want to delay any further, if he couldn't acquire them now, he would deal with it later. For now, he needed to finish refining the Awakening God Pill and solve Leng Mei's issue.
Thinking this, he packed up the stall and turned to leave.
Back at Yingjie Building, he spent a quarter of an hour refining the Awakening God Pill, rescuing Leng Mei from the separation of the Divine Soul.
Joshua Long was still cultivating at the time.
Leng Mei also returned to her cultivation state.
After all, not everyone could break through as easily as Ling Xiao, he possessed the Tai Chi Eye and the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit.
"Shoo!"
Suddenly, a strong wind attacked from outside the door.
Without even looking at the gust, Ling Xiao rushed out, chasing the person who had launched the hidden weapon.
The strong wind must have been a hidden weapon; with Dan Feng around, it wouldn't harm anyone else.
"Young Master Ling lives up to his reputation, I originally didn't want to show myself, but ultimately, I was discovered by you."
Several hundred meters outside Yingjie Building, in a small alley, the person stopped, looked back at Ling Xiao, and cupped his hands, "Young Master Ling, there's no need to be tense. I am a martial artist of the Tianlong Trade Company, bearing no malice toward you."
"What was that just now supposed to mean?"
Ling Xiao asked coldly.
"I've heard that Young Master Ling is in need of Dragon Blood Grass and a Secret Realm Map, so I specially came to deliver the news."
The martial artist explained.
Hmm?
Ling Xiao paused, realizing he had been too nervous and misunderstood the other party.
"Who sent you?"
"It was Lord Ji Qing."
The person replied, "You are a distinguished guest of our Tianlong Trade Company. Since you need information, we naturally deliver it.
Actually, you seem to have overlooked your own privileges. If needed, you can fully utilize the intelligence system of the Tianlong Trade Company to serve you."
Ling Xiao smacked his forehead, inwardly cursing himself for being stupid. How had he forgotten such a convenient thing, deserving the hard work he brought upon himself?
"If Young Master Ling has no other matters, I'll take my leave."
The person cupped his hands again.
"Farewell, and thank you for the information."
When dealing with others, Ling Xiao was straightforward. If someone treated him well, he would naturally reciprocate; if they harmed him, he would never show mercy.
Just that simple.
Returning to Yingjie Building, Dan Feng handed him a slip of paper.
The information on it was very clear.
"For Dragon Blood Grass, seek Sun Leng Chan from the Medicine King Pavilion!
For the Secret Realm Map, go to the Underground City of Tianhai City to participate in the 'Death Arena'. Winning guarantees a highly-ranked Secret Realm Map, but it's very dangerous."
"Dan Feng, please continue watching over everyone. I must go and try my luck. If I don't return, don't wait for me. Do what you need to do, I won't die."
Ling Xiao advised, "If you really encounter an unbeatable opponent, use the Array Refining Stone I gave you to escape, don't fight stubbornly."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. You must also be careful, as Moon Lady, Wine Demon Sword, and your grandfather, Hong Qi, are not here. If you truly meet a strong enemy, don't be rash."
Dan Feng wasn't really worried about their safety; after the events of the day, as long as they stayed at Yingjie Building, there would be no danger to their lives.
On the contrary, it was Ling Xiao who had made too many enemies, making his situation potentially most perilous.
Leaving Yingjie Building, Ling Xiao headed to the Medicine King Pavilion in Tianhai City, under the cover of night.
With the White Tiger Summit approaching, martial artists preparing to participate would surely feel drawn to Tianhai City.
As one of the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, Sun Leng Chan would naturally come as well.
Ling Xiao didn't know Sun Leng Chan, but that didn't stop him from doing a deal with him.
In the darkness, the Medicine King Pavilion was brilliantly lit.
The lights were all formed by special small Magic Arrays, absorbing the sunlight and moonlight, storing it, and then releasing it.
