Other than Miss Shangguan, the other three were unfamiliar, but the strength of these four individuals was extremely terrifying. Even the weakest, Shangguan Qing Er, had a cultivation level at the Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Level, while the other three were at the Yin-Yang Realm Level 11.
However, these three people were relatively old, probably around forty years old, which disqualified them from participating in the White Tiger Summit. Get full chapters from ππ π§ππβ¦πππ£πβ¦πππ₯
After all, the White Tiger Summit is prepared for outstanding geniuses under thirty.
However, geniuses are just geniuses; those who have not matured are actually not stronger than many ordinary martial artists.
"Guard Jiang! Did you discover something? Suddenly launching a punch from so far away and startling us."
Shangguan Qing Er asked curiously, looking at the burly man.
"Didn't you notice? The Insect Demons here seem to have suffered a catastrophic disaster. That power was cultivated meticulously by the Crown Prince and has been wiped out just like that."
Guard Jiang said with a gloomy expression: "Our King once descended upon the underground world, killed many experts of the Night People Tribe, discovered this Soul Temple, and utilized supreme divine abilities to connect it with the Imperial Palace.
The King informed His Highness the Crown Prince about this secret, intending to nurture the Crown Prince and naturally planning to use these Demon Beings as well."
"What should we do? Those Insect Demons required years of effort from His Highness. Damn it, who did this? Among the martial artists who entered the underground world, only Mo Dao and Prince Wu are the strongest. Prince Wu definitely wouldn't do this, so it must be Mo Dao."
Shangguan Qing Er said angrily.
"Guard Jiang, Miss Shangguan, we need to report what happened here to His Highness promptly. Also, don't forget, we came here under orders from the Crown Prince to specifically fetch the 'Magic Crystal Liquid,' so let's finish the mission quickly and head back."
Another man reminded them.
"Indeed, both the Crown Prince and Princess Consort need the Magic Crystal Liquid to assist their cultivation since they're set to shine at the White Tiger Summit. We shouldn't mess things up."
Shangguan Qing Er nodded in agreement.
Guard Jiang coldly glanced at the darkness and then issued the command.
The four of them soared through the sky.
Long after, Ling Xiao emerged from the darkness.
"Interesting, I heard quite an extraordinary thing. Imagine, the esteemed Crown Prince of the Tianhai Empire plotting to leverage the power of demons to build a grand empire."
Ling Xiao stood there, stroking his chin in contemplation.
"Since this is the case, I must thwart you all the more. I vow to leave none of these demons alive!
Oh yes, and that Magic Crystal Liquid seems to be a valuable item; it could aid cultivation, worth acquiring."
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao activated Shadow Step and pursued with his Shadow Body form.
Currently, his cultivation was at the pinnacle of the Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Level, making it difficult for those ahead to detect his presence, not even if he was tracking them.
"They actually entered a spatial rift!"
Ling Xiao stared in disbelief at the massive rift before him.
Crimson magma spewed continuously from the rift, yet those four individuals could enter with ease.
If he guessed correctly, there must be some treasure on them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make it in so effortlessly.
"Who cares, I'll just wait here and reap the rewards as a bystander!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, then sat there waiting.
Long after, the four finally emerged from the rift.
Guard Jiang held a gourd bottle, from which a powerful life energy emanated, exciting Ling Xiao immensely.
"A good thing, truly a good thing, thanks for your hard work, this item is mine now."
Ling Xiao had no goodwill towards these four.
However, he did not intend to kill anyone this time; he just wanted to swiftly seize the Magic Crystal Liquid.
To accomplish this and avoid exposing his identity, he directly used Heavenly Demon Incarnation and transformed into the Lightning Demon King form.
The Lightning Demon King has the fastest speed, perfectly suited for snatching things.
"This gourd bottle of Magic Crystal Liquid looks so tempting, but it's a shame that it's so hard to obtain; otherwise, we could have a piece of the pie."
Guard Jiang looked at the gourd bottle in his hand with some sentiment and said.
"Yes, the spatial rift is filled with spatial turbulence. Without the Magical Treasure we got from the Crown Prince, we might have been torn to pieces by now."
Shangguan Qing Er also said, somewhat fearful.
At this moment, all four appeared somewhat exhausted.
This bolstered Ling Xiao's confidence in the Magic Crystal Liquid robbery further.
"Everyone rest a bit, replenish your inner strength and energy, then let's leave. Even if they entered the Soul Temple, it's impossible for them to come out alive. The powerful Night Demon King dwells here, and only our King can communicate with it, thus opening this path for us."
Guard Jiang's words seemed more to comfort himself.
His initial plan was to find the martial artist who killed the Insect Demons and capture them for the Crown Prince.
But with the Magic Crystal Liquid obtained, they couldn't delay. Even considering the communication between the Night Demon King and Skysea King.
Yet, the thoughts of demon beings are unpredictable for humans, and if that entity suddenly became angry to kill them, they'd truly be doomed.
In this hellish place, they really didn't want to stay a moment longer.
With this in mind, the four sat cross-legged, and Guard Jiang was about to place the gourd bottle into his Storage Ring when suddenly a streak of lightning attacked.
The lightning was too fast, too bizarre; the terrifying attack made Guard Jiang believe he was ambushed by the Night Demon King.
His vision was filled with a blue electric light, seeing nothing else.
In the darkness, a hand sparkling with electric light struck towards his head, clearly aiming to kill him.
"Someone's attacking!"
Guard Jiang shouted, unable to throw the gourd bottle into the Storage Ring, he placed it aside and raised his fists to block.
Compared to the gourd bottle, his life was obviously more important.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao's lips curled into a smile.
A smile of a cunning plan achieved.
This move of his was called 'Sound the East, Strike the West.'
Although simple, it worked almost every time.
His true goal was to seize the gourd bottle, not to kill Guard Jiang; his formidable killing intent was too genuine for Guard Jiang to have any doubts.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, lowered his body, and the gourd bottle instantly vanished, entering his Storage Ring.
It was then that Guard Jiang realized with violent anger, and threw his fists directly towards Ling Xiao's back.
Ling Xiao turned and released a palm strike.
