"It seems you know a thing or two about the Golden Heaven."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Despite being a noble of the royal lineage, you don’t focus on cultivation but only know how to abuse your power, bullying others and causing trouble everywhere.
People like you not only bring tremendous danger upon themselves.
There is even a possibility of destroying the entire Chen Royal Family!
Don’t think I’m fear-mongering; examples like this have indeed happened!"
The young girl’s face suddenly became very unpleasant. Although she wasn’t sure if what Ling Xiao said was true,
she was aware that offending powerful enemies due to arrogance, ultimately leading to the family’s destruction, had indeed happened.
Moreover, it happened right within the Chen Dynasty, so she knew clearly.
"Scaremongering, you really think a few seemingly plausible words can intimidate the heroes of the Imperial Capital?"
Another person appeared on the stairs.
About forty years of age, with a burly figure and a burst of explosive aura erupting from his body.
On his sides followed two men.
The aura of these two men was on par with Ling Xiao.
As for the man in his forties, he was naturally much stronger than Ling Xiao.
"Uncle Gu!"
Seeing this middle-aged man, the malicious young girl seemed to have found a savior, running towards him, crying out, "Uncle, you must stand up for me."
"Good child, don’t worry, as the commander of the City Defense Camp, it’s my duty to handle such matters."
Gutianba gently patted the girl’s hand, then looked towards Ling Xiao, coldly saying, "Boy, are you prepared to die?"
"Die? Sorry, but I haven’t lived enough yet."
Ling Xiao calmly looked at Gutianba, suddenly thinking about how he had killed Gu Mingyu before. If Gutianba knew his precious son was killed by him, Ling Xiao, what expression would he have?
Would he still be in such a mood to stand up for others?
"Whether you’ve lived long enough or not is of no concern to me. Today, you caused a disturbance on my turf; if I don’t kill you, I can’t give my old friends an explanation.
But rest assured, I won’t bully you. I’ll let my two men spar with you."
Gutianba said with a faint smile.
"Gu Junhou actually has leisure to meddle here? Shouldn’t you be investigating whether your precious son died outside?
On my way to Thunder City, I heard a group of Secret Realm Academy disciples were found dead in the depths of the mountains by hunting hunters.
How tragic, one of them was even wearing your first-class military marquis household’s waist token."
As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, the smile on Gutianba’s face vanished completely.
Gutianba suddenly looked extremely unsightly, and in an instant, he was in front of Ling Xiao, attempting to grab him.
He had only one son, and if he died, it meant the end of his lineage.
Due to offending an enemy two years ago, that particular place was crippled, and he could no longer have children.
If Gu Mingyu were truly dead, he would indeed be devastated.
However, Ling Xiao resembled a slippery loach.
In an instant, his figure transformed into multiple wolf shadows, evading Gutianba’s attack, and instead, capturing that girl in his hand.
The girl was so terrified she turned pale, screaming out in panic.
"I told you earlier, if your people touch me, I’ll kill you first. Didn’t believe me then; do you believe me now?"
Ling Xiao spoke coldly.
"Let her go, or I’ll kill you!"
Gutianba, who was just protecting the girl, now rushed forward in an attempt to force Ling Xiao to release the girl, as he was desperate to know the news of his son’s death.
"Boom!"
This time, instead of dodging, Ling Xiao was stopped by a middle-aged man who had just arrived at the tavern.
"Gutianba, have you gone mad? My daughter is in his hands; do you want her to die?"
The newcomer was the girl’s father, appearing no less powerful than Gutianba.
It seemed that one by one, these experts were gradually revealing themselves.
"Father, save me!"
The girl shouted loudly.
"Let go of my daughter and I will spare your life!"
The voice of the newly arrived middle-aged man was filled with anger, and the terrifying pressure pressed down on Ling Xiao like a mountain, attempting to crush him.
But he miscalculated.
A defeated Ling Xiao is possible, but not a frightened one.
Ling Xiao stood there, calmly looking at the middle-aged man and said, "Knowing your daughter is in my hands, yet still not speaking politely. Do you really think I dare not kill her?"
"Such audacity, do you know where you are? Under the Son of Heaven, how dare you act recklessly!"
The year-round anger transformed into greater fury; the terrifying pressure caused the entire tavern to shake vigorously, as if it could collapse at any moment.
The crowd inside the tavern, apart from a few stronger individuals, nearly all retreated outside to watch the commotion.
Ling Xiao could feel the pressure on him increasing.
However, his spine remained straight and firm.
He coldly watched the middle-aged man, saying, "I’ve already told you, when speaking to me, be polite!"
A flicker of Sword Qi emerged from his fingertips, leaving a blood mark on the girl’s neck.
The middle-aged man was stunned, then filled with violent anger, suddenly lunging towards Lin Ruoxian and others.
"Sigh, Ling Xiao, I told you, you shouldn’t have done that."
Hong Minger sighed, "Now, do you dare to repeat your previous words?
Even if you kill that girl, your three friends will still lose their lives here."
She relished the thrill of controlling others.
Enjoyed seeing others’ panic and bewilderment.
She hoped others would come begging her, satisfying her endless vanity.
However, the expression Ling Xiao wore was not the one she was hoping for.
Nor fear!
Nor regret!
Nor panic!
On Ling Xiao’s face, there was an absolute chill and ruthlessness.
His hand gently swept across the girl’s neck.
A lovely head fell to the ground, making a "thud" sound.
This sound instantly silenced the entire tavern.
The girl’s father dared to attack Lin Ruoxian and others because he believed Ling Xiao was hesitant and wouldn’t dare kill his daughter.
For if he killed his daughter, Ling Xiao would lose his hostage.
But he never expected Ling Xiao would actually go through with it.
"Ah—!"
The girl’s father exploded with endless rage and roared, originally intending to take Ling Xiao’s friends as hostages.
But now, he didn’t plan on doing that anymore.
His actions turned into an attack.
He aimed to kill those three women.
And meanwhile, Gutianba also took action, charging toward Ling Xiao when Ling Xiao had lost the protection of any hostages, no longer holding any reservations.
Yet, at this moment.
Something strange happened.
Inside the tavern, a terrifying cold suddenly arose.
It was as if moonlight shone on the ground, turning into frost.
In the blink of an eye, Gutianba and the girl’s father were both blasted out of the tavern.
"You dare bully the man I’ve taken a fancy to?"
The one speaking was Yue Fanghua.
The one who intervened was also Yue Fanghua.
