Chapter 2810 - 2814: Trial Concluded: Victory Secured

"Of course, it’s to deliver this Heart of Molten Fire to Xiao Jin."

Ling Xiao replied.

Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it was for Xiao Jin. She was really worried that Ling Xiao might give it to the Red Demoness instead.

Even though she’s good sisters with the Red Demoness, women’s thoughts are just a bit strange.

"Speaking of Xiao Jin, he was able to directly blast Yun Lan away just now. Isn’t that amazing?

Yun Lan is quite formidable among the martial artists cultivated to the Twelfth Layer of Yin-Yang Realm of Hell’s late-stage."

Mu Qing couldn’t help but ask, looking at the adorable Xiao Jin.

Girls just love these cute little animals.

"Don’t underestimate him. He’s stronger than me now."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I’ll rely on him to back me up in the future."

"Really? I believe he’s strong, but I still feel that you’re stronger. In my eyes, you’re a truly mysterious and formidable existence."

Mu Qing knew Ling Xiao heard her previous words, so now she opened up, expressing her admiration like a fan in front of Ling Xiao.

"Well, I’m glad you think highly of me."

Ling Xiao chuckled bitterly.

"How many Magic Crystal Stones have you collected? Don’t just focus on causing trouble, you should understand that they relate to the ultimate skill of Magic Dragon Possession."

Mu Qing didn’t think it inappropriate to ask. In her eyes, Ling Xiao and Xiao Mu Yu were like family.

"Honestly, I don’t know how many there are. At least five or six hundred, I guess."

Ling Xiao hadn’t really counted, so he casually threw out a number.

"Five or six hundred! Did you get the Magic Sea King Crystal?"

Mu Qing asked.

"Yeah."

"That’s fantastic! Even if they give all the Magic Crystal Stones to Yun Lan, you should securely hold third place."

Mu Qing sighed with relief.

"Just third?"

"Yeah, I have about eight hundred Magic Crystal Stones myself. You need to work harder. Do you want me to give you mine?"

Mu Qing said with a smile.

"Better not. I grabbed Yun Lan’s Magic Crystal Stones because he’s detestable, not you.

But it seems Yun Lan hasn’t gathered many Magic Crystal Stones, only about a hundred in total. What’s he been doing all this time?"

Ling Xiao checked Yun Lan’s Storage Ring and was indeed puzzled. With Yun Lan’s strength, he should have collected more than Mu Qing.

"I vaguely heard him mention something about a special mission that took up his time."

Mu Qing thought for a moment, "But I don’t know the specifics. Just be careful. I suspect this special mission is either targeting you or the Sect Master."

"Thanks for the tip. I understand."

Ling Xiao nodded.

He also believed Mu Qing’s words were accurate, but the exact plot was hard to guess.

Perhaps, only after leaving the Devil Sea Secret Realm could he find out.

"So hurry up and gather more Magic Crystal Stones."

Mu Qing urged.

"Alright."

Ling Xiao did not reveal his previous actions to Mu Qing. Although Mu Qing was reliable, she was too straightforward and might unintentionally spill the beans.

After all, Yun Zhong Feng was a sly old fox.

He turned and left, but stayed hidden near Mu Qing to avoid Yun Lan taking another shot at him.

Until the trial time in the Devil Sea Secret Realm ended, and everyone was directly transported out of the realm.

Every disciple of the Demon Dragon Sect has an identity token.

This identity token is quite special. At a critical moment, it can be used for collective transportation if you don’t refuse.

As soon as Ling Xiao appeared, he felt someone had locked onto him.

The terrifying gaze emerging from Yun Zhong Feng and Yun Lan’s eyes almost seemed to want to destroy him on the spot.

But Ling Xiao just smiled faintly.

During the time when his cultivation level was insufficient, he didn’t care. Now that he has broken through, there’s nothing to fear.

Moreover, his Xiao Jin is now a great killing weapon. Anyone who dares to provoke him shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless.

"Disciple, are you alright?"

Chen Buyi came over, shielding Ling Xiao from Yun Zhong Feng’s oppressive aura, and asked with a smile.

"Nothing, what could happen to me? The one in trouble isn’t me."

Ling Xiao smiled back.

"Strange, why can’t I see through Xiao Jin’s strength anymore?"

Looking at Xiao Jin on Ling Xiao’s shoulder, Chen Buyi frowned slightly, shocked in his heart.

Previously, he could clearly judge that Xiao Jin’s strength was intermediate stage of the Yin-Yang Realm Eleventh Layer of Hell.

But now, Xiao Jin feels like a fog, impossible to discern its true strength.

"It’s correct that you can’t see through. Master, it benefited much more than I did this time."

Ling Xiao said: "With your wisdom, you must have known, my main reason for participating in the trial of the Devil Sea Secret Realm was for Xiao Jin."

"I knew, but I didn’t expect it to improve so rapidly.

If even I can’t see its strength, then it must be at least as strong as I am."

Chen Buyi spoke softly.

"Hehe, good judgment."

Regarding Chen Buyi, Ling Xiao didn’t have to hide Xiao Jin’s situation.

Through multiple interactions, he had gained a deep understanding of Chen Buyi’s character.

Moreover, they’ve experienced life and death together, not only as mentor and disciple but having shared bonds beyond that.

Aside from the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, other secrets could be told to Chen Buyi without a problem.

The Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit was just too unique, capable of tempting even the King of Sovereigns of the Immortal Court Continent.

It’s better to be cautious. The fewer people know, the more advantageous for him.

"Wow, what kind of monster is this? In just three days, it achieved such terrifying breakthroughs! Oh my, my disciple, you’ve found a real treasure.

But you must keep it a secret, otherwise being targeted could be a hassle."

Chen Buyi advised.

"Xiao Jin, did you hear that? I told you to release some aura before, don’t make things too mysterious."

Ling Xiao said to Xiao Jin.

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Jin released the aura of the early stage of the Yin-Yang Realm Twelfth Layer of Hell.

"Well, it benefited greatly; how about you? Are you sure there’s no problem? Can you take first place in the trial?"

Chen Buyi asked.

"Easily."

Ling Xiao replied.

After separating from Mu Qing, he discreetly assessed the number of Magic Crystal Stones he had.

To be honest, he was surprised—it was vastly different from his previous vague estimate.

Not to mention getting first place in this trial, if he showed all his stones, it would be enough to shock others.

So this time, he only planned to submit one-third as his trial accomplishment to the sect.

The remaining two-thirds would be reserved for Xiao Jin as snacks, use for his formations, and cultivation practices.

After all, they are pure energy.
