Chapter 2502 - 2505: Sudden Incident: The Golden Knights Appear on the Horizon
"Good, it’s enough that you admitted it. Now, speak about how you betrayed former Sect Leader Ling Yan back then."
Ling Xiao continued to press on.
"Back then, I defected to the Demon Dragon Sect, and the former Sect Leader took me in, allowing me to join the Eight Immortals Mountain and nurturing me to become an Elder there.
However, I repaid kindness with betrayal, secretly plotting against him, forcing him to prematurely enter reincarnation.
Later, I even found his reincarnated self, attempting to seize the secret of the Eight Immortals Ancestor’s inheritance.
I deserve to die a thousand times."
Lin Quan confessed it all truthfully.
Thus, Ling Yan’s grievance was cleared.
Ling Xiao was then ready to start his own revenge.
He walked beside Mo Fei Yu, no, now he should be called Jian Feiyu, "This person is a despicable bastard, slaughtering disciples indiscriminately during our entry test, tarnishing the reputation of our Eight Immortals Mountain.
He deserves to die!"
With that, he suddenly struck, ending Jian Feiyu with one sword stroke.
Their enmity was thoroughly resolved with this one sword.
Laughably, Jian Feiyu betrayed the Yue Clan to join the Sword Clan just to seek revenge on Ling Xiao more effectively.
Yet he died right in front of Ling Xiao.
Afterwards, Ling Xiao approached Jian Liufeng, intending to speak, but his expression suddenly changed.
A bizarre scene appeared in the sky, a burst of golden light shooting over.
This golden light transformed into a golden dragon landing on the ground.
It was actually dozens of Martial Artists clad in golden armor.
The leader, wearing golden armor with a golden dragon coiled around it, was extremely imposing.
The strength of these people was such that everyone present, except for Shen Dian, was left breathless with tension.
"Subordinates pay respects to the young lady!"
Upon arrival, this group all kneeled in front of Shen Dian, addressing her as young lady.
Shen Dian’s expression changed drastically, but after a moment, she returned to normal.
"Ah, so it’s the Golden Knights. I still have some matters to handle here. I will attend to you once I am done."
Shen Dian said calmly.
"Young lady, the Lord has encountered trouble."
The leading Golden Knight suddenly spoke up.
"What! What’s happened to father?"
Shen Dian exclaimed.
Seeing her expression, Ling Xiao realized his revenge for today would have to come to an abrupt halt.
He needed Shen Dian for his revenge; without her, it would be impossible to defeat that old dog Lin Quan.
Not to mention the Chen Royal Family backing the Eight Immortals Mountain.
"Shen Dian, take care of your matters first."
Ling Xiao gave Jian Liufeng a cold glance.
These people, he preferred to kill by himself, it would be more satisfying.
Depending on Shen Dian didn’t quite feel right.
Besides, his cultivation level had greatly improved by now, he wasn’t afraid of these people any longer.
"Thank you, master."
Shen Dian nodded with gratitude.
"Let’s go, we can talk quietly in my courtyard."
Ling Xiao waved his hand, and Lin Yang, along with others such as Ling Jiaojiao, Lin Ruoxian, and Ling Yuhua, flamboyantly left the Sword Clan Courtyard.
As Ling Xiao departed, no one dared to stop him.
Everyone wanted this Death God gone as soon as possible.
As it stood, Ling Xiao had the protection of that girl named Shen Dian, who could touch him?
Who would dare?
That girl, her origins unknown, with those Golden Knights whose strength was overwhelmingly terrifying.
To offend such a force, who knows what might happen.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Getting slapped in the face was a minor issue, keeping their lives was already extremely fortunate.
Once Ling Xiao left, Jian Liufeng collapsed directly onto the ground.
At that moment, he truly felt he was bound to die.
As his emotions gradually calmed, his gaze turned to one filled with intense hatred.
"Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao! I don’t care what force backs you, I must kill you! I will kill you!"
In Jian Liufeng’s view, Ling Xiao was merely relying on Ling Yan and Shen Dian as his support, not really strong himself.
If he was willing, he had enough strength to annihilate Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao left, but the Sword Clan Courtyard remained shrouded in gloom, no one dared to leave.
Everyone waited there, awaiting the judgment of fate.
They feared that leaving would provoke the terrifying Ling Xiao, leaving none of them alive in the end.
...
Back at the Lingxiao Courtyard.
Shen Dian had a private discussion with those Golden Knights, then emerged looking sullen.
"Little girl, no need to look so mournful. Smile. Since there’s an issue at home, go back first. It’s a pity I’m too weak, otherwise I would certainly go to help you."
Before Shen Dian could speak, Ling Xiao had already guessed her intent.
"But I can’t bear to part with master. Why don’t you come with me?"
Shen Dian said reluctantly.
"I would like to, but I can’t hide under your skirt forever."
Ling Xiao shook his head, "Places too dangerous are not conducive to my progress, progressing steadily is better for me."
If one is just an ant, there might be some hope when facing bigger grasshoppers.
But to contend with humans, it’s likely they would be stomped to death.
So although Ling Xiao desired to leave with Shen Dian early, he restrained himself.
"Though the Xuanwu Continent is vast, it still has boundaries. We will meet again one day,"
Ling Xiao chuckled, "And in the future, you must refrain from calling me master in front of your people, or else I’ll meet my end because of you."
He had already keenly sensed the hostility from the Golden Knight leader just then.
Simply because Shen Dian called him master.
He wasn’t one to be unaware of his own limitations. For the people of the Eight Immortals Mountain, though stronger than him, he still had a chance to escape and so was not afraid.
But with those Golden Knights, he couldn’t even escape, naturally reluctant to offend them.
"If he dares to touch you, I will kill him,"
Shen Dian seriously stated, "However, master, I will heed your words. In the future, I will not call you master, can I just call you Brother Ling Xiao?"
"Alright, that’s better."
Ling Xiao shook his head with a wry smile.
"Right, I have a request: could you take my sister Ling Jiaojiao with you?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
Keeping Ling Jiaojiao at Eight Immortals Mountain was always troublesome.
The Sword and Saber God Emperor’s bloodline would forever be coveted here.
And Ling Jiaojiao awakened her bloodline too late, her strength improved too slowly, she couldn’t protect herself. Going with Shen Dian, even if she wouldn’t grow stronger, at least she would be safe, right?
"That depends on whether she’s willing. In fact, with her bloodline, she would be warmly welcomed on our end, and she might soon enter reincarnation."
Shen Dian looked toward Ling Jiaojiao, seeking her opinion.
"I’m willing!"
Ling Jiaojiao had actually wanted to make this request herself moments ago.
She didn’t want to keep troubling Ling Xiao.
The best choice was naturally to leave.
In recent days, for her sake, Ling Xiao opposed the Sword Clan twice, though he gained an advantage each time, her heart couldn’t handle it any longer.
