The terrifying secret technique was unleashed in an instant.

Sha Diao suddenly exclaimed, realizing his qi-blood seemed to have gained life of its own, wanting to escape his body.

Qi-blood losing control, the power also instantly went out of control.

The giant Sand Person behind him suddenly collapsed.

What the heck?

Sha Diao was so terrified he staggered backward.

However, it was already too late.

A black light burst forth from Ling Xiao’s mouth.

The Shadow Cone, which had once killed many powerful warriors, shot out from Ling Xiao’s mouth.

It directly pierced through Sha Diao’s throat.

Although Sha Diao retreated swiftly, it was to no avail.

In a straight-line distance, his speed could never be faster than the Shadow Cone.

"You! You! I don’t want to die!"

Sha Diao’s body fell to the desert ground.

At the moment of his death, he still couldn’t understand what had happened.

Why, why did he lose so badly, why did Ling Xiao seem like an invincible War God?

Looking at Sha Diao’s corpse and Bai Yin’s corpse tossed aside, Ling Xiao coldly smiled, gathering both bodies and placing them temporarily in the Beast Ring.

He already knew how he would report the events.

Sha Diao attempted to kill him outside mistakenly, killing Bai Yin.

Afterwards, Sha Diao was killed by a sneak attack from the Black Wolf General.

It was Ling Xiao who killed the Black Wolf General, avenging Sha Diao, for he was quite "ungrudging".

In this way, Ling Xiao wouldn’t be in trouble, but instead would become a hero of Eight Immortals Mountain.

No matter if the Sha Clan and Dark Clan believed him or not, they would have to thank him publicly.

Moreover, with Bai Yin killed by Sha Diao, a grudge between the Sha Clan and Dark Clan had been forged.

Even if Bai Yin was merely a Branch Family Member, he was ranked among the top three and was valued by the Dark Clan.

Even if the Dark Clan doesn’t wage war directly with the Sha Clan, it would certainly harbor resentment.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but smirk.

The Sha Clan targeting him already disregarded the Dark Clan; the grudge with Sha Clan would be normal to him, without an ounce of guilt.

"Time to return!"

He broke through the air and vanished into the vast desert in an instant.

On his way, in a small inn, news from White Wolf County City had already arrived.

The attendant who had warned Ling Xiao about visiting White Wolf County City was at this moment dumbfounded, listening to a Martial Artist who traveled through White Wolf County City spit and shout.

"Let me tell you, the Black Wolf General was killed by a disciple of Eight Immortals Mountain, Ling Xiao.

My word, with just one move, that giant purple sword pierced through the Black Wolf General’s body."

"Purple Qi Eastward Sword?"

"Yes, it’s the Purple Qi Eastward Sword, Jade Level High-Grade Martial Technique, this Ling Xiao is truly strong, he seemed to pass through here before going to White Wolf County City, didn’t you see him?"

...

The attendant murmured after hearing such words: "No way, he actually killed the Black Wolf General? That’s too strong!

Luckily, I didn’t offend him, otherwise I would definitely be dead."

...

In truth, how could Ling Xiao bear grudges against a mere attendant?

After leaving White Wolf County City, he returned directly to Eight Immortals Mountain, went to the Dark Clan first, reported the incident to Heiye Wuguang, and handed over Sha Diao and Bai Yin’s corpses.

At this time within the Dark Clan’s branch.

Qing Luan Hua and Lin Yang were surrounded by a group of Branch Family Members.

Qing Luan Hua’s task was relatively simple, but failed due to interference, so she returned prematurely.

Upon her return, she saw Lin Yang being surrounded and thus joined the battle.

The fight had lasted for a full three hours from the start till now.

Though both were not weak, the number of opponents was far too many, leaving them wounded all over.

Furthermore, without Ling Xiao’s ruthless nature, they truly dared not kill.

Hence, they were constantly suppressed, unable to fully exert their strength.

"Qing Shi, why bother? I have such thick skin and flesh; it’s no matter if I get beaten, but you can’t get injured, otherwise the boss would skin me alive."

Lin Yang was most vexed because he was unlucky enough to involve Qing Luan Hua, which was the last thing he wished.

"Haven’t you noticed? These people are seriously ruthless; if it were just you, you’d have been killed already."

Qing Luan Hua spoke gravely.

"No way, they are all Dark Clan disciples, dare they kill randomly?"

Lin Yang exclaimed.

"Nothing is impossible; with backing, they dare to commit murder and arson, receiving only light punishment at the most."

Qing Luan Hua sighed.

"What do we do? At this rate, we are surely dead?"

Lin Yang didn’t want to die; having just entered Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, he refused to die, with a bright future ahead.

"If you don’t want to die, swear to sever ties with Ling Xiao, otherwise neither of you will survive today!"

One of their attackers shouted loudly.

"Screw you! Even if I, Lin Yang, die, I’ll never betray the boss; only Heaven Collapse Earth Split could sever our ties!"

Lin Yang feared death, but had strong loyalty in his bones.

Even in death, he would never betray Ling Xiao, such was his simple emotion.

"I won’t do such a thing either; Ling Xiao dared to challenge the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain for me; betrayal would make me worse than a beast!"

Qing Luan Hua shook her head, resolute against taking such action.

Even when Ling Yan was unlucky, she never chose to forsake him. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Now, naturally, she wouldn’t forsake Ling Xiao.

"With that, both of you go to hell."

The Branch Family Members attacking Qing Luan Hua and Lin Yang accelerated their assault, becoming more ferocious.

Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua struggled to hold on, accumulating more injuries by the minute.

They didn’t know what they hoped for, awaited, but felt they must persist.

As long as they didn’t die, hope would remain.

Just when their vision was almost blinded by blood, suddenly, the Branch Family Members surrounding them began to fall by the hundreds.

"Black Wolf Pack Kill!"

A familiar voice echoed from afar.

Shadow of wolves started to tear at those attacking them.

"Anyone who harms my friends! Die!"

Ling Xiao returned.

Unlike Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua, he showed no mercy.

His actions meant killing!

These people had treated his friends so; if he didn’t kill these bastards, who would dare befriend him in the future?

Over two hundred Martial Artists besieged Qing Luan Hua and Lin Yang.

Ling Xiao unleashed the Black Wolf Pack Kill twice, and they all fell into pools of blood.

The scene was intensely horrifying and eerie.

"Are you two alright?"

Ling Xiao cared little for repercussions from killing them, only concerning himself with his friends’ safety.
