Chapter 2493: Chapter 2496: Return to the Surface: Top-Level Most Wanted Criminals
"Lin Yuetian, An Fengyun, Jian Kun! And everyone from Eight Immortals Mountain, listen up: If I, Ling Xiao, return to Eight Immortals Mountain and find that my friends are even slightly harmed, I will ensure you have no place to bury your bodies!"
Ling Xiao pointed his sword towards the sky.
The breakthrough in cultivation level and the increase in strength filled him with confidence.
In Eight Immortals Mountain now, aside from those old fogies with the First Transformation of Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell cultivation, and Lin Yuetian, no one else is worth his attention.
"I hope some people don’t act foolishly, otherwise this time, I will not retreat like I did with the Sword Clan.
I swear, I will make everyone who goes against me pay the price!"
Ling Xiao was preparing to continue cultivating for a while, since he was idle anyway.
Suddenly, a powerful aura approached from afar.
Ling Xiao looked in astonishment.
Ling Yan stood up from the interwoven black and white lights.
His cultivation level had risen to the First Transformation of Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell Peak!
Terrifying!
The fusion of the Elder of Eight Immortals’ dual inheritance allowed Ling Yan not only to recover but also to elevate so much.
"Boss!"
It’s said a man has gold under his knees, doesn’t kneel easily, but Ling Yan kneeled at this moment.
Though his strength was much stronger than Ling Xiao’s, he still kneeled without hesitation.
Although he was previously weak, almost unable to speak.
But he naturally understood everything Ling Xiao had done.
Ling Xiao had given him the Elder of Eight Immortals’ inheritance, something most people wouldn’t accomplish under any circumstances.
Just for this, he was willing to kneel for Ling Xiao.
Moreover, Ling Xiao had risked his life to break into the Fifth Level of Ghost Prison to save him; if not for that, Ling Xiao wouldn’t be in this predicament today.
"Stand up, Ling Yan. The reason I bestowed the inheritance upon you was mainly as it wasn’t suitable for me."
Ling Xiao’s body lacked the inheritance of the benevolent aspect; acquiring only the malevolent aspect wouldn’t mean much.
But Ling Yan was different; the fusion of the dual inheritances allowed Ling Yan’s cultivation level to rapidly elevate, potentially storing force even reaching the Reincarnation Realm.
In other words, from today until reaching the Reincarnation Realm, Ling Yan’s cultivation speed might be comparable to his own.
"No matter what, it’s given by you, Boss; without you, I couldn’t have obtained it."
Ling Yan shook his head and said.
"As long as you appreciate my kindness, I’m satisfied; come, let’s return to Eight Immortals Mountain and cleanse the injustice you once faced; the order of Eight Immortals Mountain also needs redefining."
Ling Xiao gently patted Ling Yan’s shoulder.
This act of Ling Yan was proof that Ling Xiao had not misjudged him.
"Yes!"
Ling Yan nodded.
Then, Ling Yan used the Elder of Eight Immortals’ special method to carve out a teleportation gate leading above from the deep underground.
This teleportation gate could only be managed by the Elder of Eight Immortals.
Of course, those who possess the complete inheritance and Martial Soul can achieve it.
And Ling Yan was such a person.
Stepping through the teleportation gate, Ling Xiao took a deep breath.
This fall into the deep sea turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Ling Yan obtained the Elder of Eight Immortals’ inheritance.
And he gained Heart Demon Power, which was precisely the reason for his rapid increase in strength and martial skills.
Essentially, Heart Demon Power is soul power, albeit rather sinister, but after being devoured by the Gluttonous Beast and transformed by Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, it became Ling Xiao’s purest soul power.
His wisdom, perception, and various spiritual attributes all saw significant improvements.
Now, with Shen Dian and Ling Yan by his side, Ling Xiao believed that in Eight Immortals County City, no one could dare provoke him.
That’s why he didn’t have Ling Yan disguise himself, keeping his true appearance.
They came back to collect debts without fearing anyone.
From the teleportation gate, they directly faced the exit of the Fifth Level of Ghost Prison.
At the exit, there were still eight guards.
These eight guards, though changed in personnel, still had cultivation at the Third Layer of Yin-Yang Peak from the Eight Great Families.
In the past, Ling Xiao would have regarded them highly, but now, in his eyes, they were insignificant.
"Who are you?"
The sudden appearance of three people from the teleportation array startled the eight guards.
As the three approached, their expressions became even more exaggerated.
"Ling Xiao!
Ling Yan!"
Both are now the highest level of wanted criminals of Eight Immortals Mountain, appearing simultaneously here.
Aside from the unknown golden-haired, blue-eyed woman, the two of them were far too familiar.
But how was this possible?
Ling Xiao and Ling Yan had fallen into Mo Hai nearly ten days ago; how could they still be alive?
Know that no one has ever survived falling into Mo Hai, especially after so many days.
Was this a dream?
"Although we don’t know why you’re still alive, if you’re alive, you should be running away. Coming back willingly to die, you two really don’t know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is."
Perhaps because they let Ling Xiao go, the original guards familiar to Ling Xiao were all replaced.
Now these eight people had absolute hostility towards Ling Xiao.
"Don’t know how high the sky is or thick the earth is?"
Ling Xiao sneered, and suddenly stepped forward.
Before the eight could see his figure clearly, one of them was already lifted by his gripping neck.
"None of you move, answer my question obediently, and I might spare your lives, since you’re merely gatekeepers."
Ling Xiao’s voice carried coldness and murderous intent.
If they dared not listen, he truly would kill them.
"W-What do you want to ask?"
The man with his throat gripped asked with difficulty.
Ling Xiao released his hand, allowing the man to breathe more freely.
"Kill him!"
As soon as the man was released, he shouted.
The other seven simultaneously moved, rushing towards Ling Xiao.
"Dare to harm my master, courting death!"
Ling Xiao had yet to act, but Shen Dian already was in violent rage.
With a delicate finger tap.
All seven turned into fire people, falling to the ground in painful howls, instantly becoming ash.
"Don’t, don’t kill me!"
The only remaining person cried out in fear.
"Answer my question, and I naturally won’t kill you."
Ling Xiao said indifferently.
"I’ll talk, I’ll say everything!"
This person was truly frightened; the golden-haired, blue-eyed girl seemed so beautiful and innocent, yet when killing, she was so brutal.
And her power was terrifying.
He finally understood why Ling Xiao dared to return; he found support.
"Is Eight Immortals Mountain pursuing warrants for us?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Yes, including you, Ling Yan, and Heiye Wuxing, all became the highest level of wanted criminals. Anytime, anywhere, without reporting, all means can be used to kill you."
The man answered.
"Good, and how are my friends?"
Ling Xiao asked again.
