Chapter 2817 - 2821: Thorn in the Eye, Thorn in the Flesh

The explanation of Yuan Venerate, Ling Xiao could still accept.

Always, he could challenge beyond levels, the reason being nothing other than his inner strength being stronger than martial artists in the same rank.

Forget it, being able to advance to the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Twelfth-Level Hell Mid Phase Cultivation level was already very good.

This was merely a trial in the Devil Sea Secret Realm, where he broke through a major realm and a minor realm. No matter who hears it, they would regard it as a miracle.

About two months ago, Chen Cangxiong’s cultivation level was only at this realm.

During these two months, with Chen Cangxiong’s aptitude and talent, coupled with the cultivation from Chen Country’s Five Elders, there must have been breakthroughs. Perhaps he had reached the Twelfth Layer of Hell’s Peak.

Ling Xiao knew very well, as he advanced, others wouldn’t stand still.

It’s just that his advancement was faster.

Two months ago, he needed to use the Bloody Rat Demon, and coupled with Chen Cangxiong’s eagerness to resolve the battle, a flaw appeared, allowing him to turn defeat into victory.

Yet, it was merely by chance.

At that time, the chance of winning did not exceed ten percent.

But now, if he were to meet Chen Cangxiong, his chances of winning would be over fifty percent.

This is progress!

Even if those around are also progressing, as long as he progresses faster, that’s enough.

Next up, he needed to prepare to cultivate the Magic Dragon Possession and finally seize the Demon Dragon Sword.

Although the Demon Dragon Sword was also a Mortal Emperor Tool, same as the Blood Thunder King Sword and Eight Immortals Sword.

But even if they were of the same grade of weapons, there were differences.

The Demon Dragon Sword was the most outstanding amongst them, only he could contend with Chen Country’s Sword of Kings.

Although that sword had many names like Thunder Emperor Sword, Emperor Sword, in the end, it referred to that one sword.

The thunder attribute Sword of Kings!

As long as the Demon Dragon Sword could be obtained, at least in weapons, Ling Xiao wouldn’t lose to Chen Cangxiong.

He held grudges with the Chen Royal Family, but more importantly, he intended to take over Chen Dynasty.

This was pointed by his grand ambitions. Whoever dared to block him, he would eliminate them.

He was a conqueror, not a benevolent king!

To conquer the world, one needed a conqueror!

To govern the world, a king was more suitable.

Taking over Chen Dynasty is but a small step in his path as a conqueror.

Don’t mention the Mysterious World, even if just Xuanwu Continent, it was filled with experts, nations of countless sizes.

This small Chen Dynasty was but the lowest tier nation in the entire Xuanwu Continent.

Even in the Western Region of the Earth Realm, Chen Dynasty was just a marginal existence amongst tens of thousands of countries.

It was mentioned earlier, the true power in the Western Region resided with the Nine Great Powers, known as the Nine Venerables!

This Chen Dynasty was merely practice for him; if he couldn’t take down Chen Dynasty, then don’t even mention those strong neighboring countries, as for the Nine Venerables, not even worth considering.

Ling Xiao now missed two women most, one in Golden Heaven.

One in Eternal Palace.

Eternal Palace didn’t need mentioning, the core of Xuanwu Continent, the strongest power, and also the last power Ling Xiao intended to conquer.

Golden Heaven was not as strong as Eternal Palace, but scarier than Western Region’s Nine Venerables.

Moon Lady’s reincarnation, Yue Fanɡ Hua, returned to Eternal Palace for assessment, there has been no news since, but worrying was useless, Eternal Palace was too far from him.

The Shen Dian located in Golden Heaven was also beyond reach.

Because of these expectations, his desire for power was stronger than anyone else’s.

Of course, he wouldn’t fear, nor lose confidence.

He possessed the strongest Martial Soul in Mysterious World; as long as he persisted relentlessly, one day, he would surely ascend to the summit of Xuanwu Continent, to the pinnacle of Mysterious World.

And Xiao Jin, it too was the most frightening existence on Xuanwu Continent, the product of Devouring Demon Fetus combined with the soul of Golden Crow.

They truly had nothing to fear.

After the cultivation breakthrough, Ling Xiao settled his mind and began to practice Magic Dragon Possession.

Actually, this auxiliary Martial Arts was much easier to cultivate than Magic Dragon Illusion Body Technique.

Ling Xiao soon grasped the path and began to immerse in it.

If any outsider was present, they would surely notice that above Ling Xiao’s head hovered a jet-black Demon Dragon...

At the same time, the residence of Vice Master of Demon Dragon City.

The establishment here was in no way inferior to Demon Palace.

Over the years, Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ actually held the reins of Demon Dragon Sect, although Chen Buyi hadn’t been completely usurped, it was almost so.

But a chain of recent events caused him heavy losses.

Not only failed to kill Chen Buyi but instead made Chen Buyi’s fame stronger than before.

Something unexpected for him.

And the source of all these troubles was none other than the once disregarded nobody—Ling Xiao.

Thinking back when Ling Xiao first arrived at Demon Dragon Sect, they actually thought him an impostor, now it seems like a joke indeed.

In the residence’s secret chamber, sat about a dozen people, all die-hard followers of Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ.

Besides himself, there were First Elder of the Sect, Overlord Blade Gui Li, Yun Lan, and a mysterious person in blue robes concealing their face.

And a few more were hall masters of Demon Dragon Sect.

Don’t underestimate these hall masters, since they were often outside, they went unnoticed.

But only First Elder knew, these hall masters, any of them were stronger than him.

Among these people, he was instead the weakest, without some authority in hand, likely unworthy of attending such a meeting.

"Why not let Yun Mo, Yun ɡui, Yun Yao, Wu La, Bai Xue, Jiao Hua, and the like join us?

These six youngsters were already at the stage of being greatly useful."

First Elder curiously asked.

Among all disciples, only Yun Lan, who was severely injured, was present, which seemed too unreasonable.

"Temporarily keeping them out, this time’s Devil Sea Secret Realm trial, I felt something was amiss, first conduct a secret investigation on them, confirm nothing’s wrong, then let them join this important meeting."

Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ proved to be a cunning old fox, highly cautious.

Although he had no evidence of betrayal, merely by his intuition honed over years, decided some matters were better done without those people.

"That is also good."

First Elder inwardly sighed, still falling short of Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ’s shrewdness.

"Yun Lan, how do you feel?"

Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ suddenly looked towards injured Yun Lan to inquire.

"Thanks to Master’s Injury Healing Pill, my injury has mostly healed."

Yun Lan answered.

Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ nodded with satisfaction: "That’s good, really this time’s matter isn’t on you, that Ling Xiao carried an air of malice.

Even I slightly underestimated him.

Reflecting, he caused turmoil in Thunder City, actually escaping consecutively from seven Great Generals of Thunder Corps and Chen Cangxiong, without some ability, nearly impossible.

And the Purple Thunder General was even killed by him.

Report says even Chen Cangxiong was defeated by him.

Earlier, secret line reported, Ling Xiao at Frosty Town, Tuoba Mansion publicly announced his defeat of Thunder Venerate."
