Ling Xiao coldly watched the two figures, lifting his hands gently and making a grasping motion.
The terrifying shadow behind him mirrored the same action.
Two gigantic hands reaching for the sky pursued from behind, the pitch-black gale raged atop the Demon Mountain.
Without the guidance of the blood moon, they had no chance of escaping Ling Xiao's grasp.
"No! No! I don't want to die! I am the prince of the Tianhai Empire! I am the brother of the Skysea King! You cannot kill me, you cannot kill me, I am Prince Ethan Yun!
I can give you wealth and power, I can give you everything!
I have a daughter, she's as beautiful as a flower, I can even marry her to you!"
The imperial martial artist had lost his last shred of courage, like a dwarf crushed under the giant's foot, he could only desperately plead for mercy.
However, Ling Xiao remained silent.
The speed of the gigantic hands was even faster.
The two hands finally captured the two remaining experts, squeezing them in their palms.
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind the Sky Demon Sect?"
"I'll tell! I'll tell! It's Tianhai Ba Tu, it's the Crown Prince of the Tianhai Empire!"
Prince Ethan Yun desperately shouted.
This person was utterly terrified of death, as was evident from the previous battle; he only dared to send his subordinates to die first, refraining from taking action himself.
"Very well, you've earned the opportunity to answer the next question."
Ling Xiao's voice remained cold, yet carried a hint of mockery.
He looked at the other person and said, "Next question, did the Sky Demon Sect send anyone to infiltrate by my side?"
"Hahaha, do you think everyone in the Sky Demon Sect is as weak and fearful of death as that coward? Kill me, our Sect Master will surely avenge me."
The man laughed madly.
"Idiot, killing you is as easy as crushing a bug."
Ling Xiao glanced at him dismissively, with a slight movement of his right hand, the Yin-Yang Realm Fourteenfold pinnacle martial artist from the Sky Demon Sect was crushed, vanishing instantly, seemingly entirely corroded by the power of darkness.
"You answer this question."
Ling Xiao turned to the imperial martial artist.
"I'll tell you, don't kill me, as far as I know, those two Sea Clan Warriors sent by the Dragon and Phoenix Continent are all Sky Demon Sect members."
The imperial martial artist hurriedly answered.
"Also, Tian Hai Lan and Fengmo Wu on Dragon and Phoenix Mountain, even if you hadn't broken into the Demon Mountain this time, we were still going to kill you. The two of them and those two Sea Clan Warriors have been closely monitoring your every move, and will report back to us with any news."
The imperial martial artist was willing to say anything, truly anything to save his life.
"But I don't understand, even though I killed people from your Sky Demon Sect, it was in a fair fight, there's no reason to target me , it's unlike someone aiming for greatness."
Ling Xiao frowned and said.
"Actually, it involves the Sect Master! Our Sect Master has an irreconcilable hatred against you, apparently because you killed his father and brother long ago, but I'm not exactly sure."
"I truly don't know."
The imperial martial artist shook his head, "The Sect Master is elusive, very mysterious, only the Crown Prince knows her true identity.
By the way, she's a woman, that much I can confirm, and she's not old, maybe only four or five years older than you.
"A woman? Four or five years older than me? Alright, I get it."
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out who she was.
He had killed too many people, though he was sure he never killed unjustly, but those he had grudges with also had children, so it was normal for them to seek revenge.
This explained why the Sky Demon Sect targeted him so relentlessly.
"Tian Hai Lan, Fengmo Wu! And those two Sea Clan warriors, you must be tired of living."
Ling Xiao could never let those people go.
Having such threats around him not only endangered himself but also his friends, which he absolutely could not allow.
"What else do you know? Spit it all out!"
Ling Xiao had no more questions, but he noticed the backlash from the First Sky Demon King was becoming more severe; he had to find a place to resolve this issue first.
"I've said everything I know, please spare me."
The imperial martial artist pleaded.
"I can let you go, but you have to take this pill, only then will I be assured."
Ling Xiao found Prince Ethan Yun to still hold some value.
Whether in the Sky Demon Sect or the imperial family, this guy could gather a lot of useful information.
He took out a pill and smiled, "Swallow it, and you can feign death, so you won't arouse suspicion, but this pill does have some effect on controlling one's soul.
Simply put, if you dare to betray me, you'll immediately become an idiot."
At this moment, the imperial martial artist cared for nothing but surviving.
Ling Xiao was so powerful, what was wrong with working for him?
He swallowed the pill in one gulp.
Only then did Ling Xiao fling him away.
The imperial martial artist coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, most of his bones were shattered, and his internal organs were bleeding profusely.
In ordinary times, he would surely have died.
But with the protective effect of the pill Ling Xiao gave him, along with the tyrant soul power Ling Xiao infused within him, he could completely recover.
Thus, out of the seventy-three Sky Demon Sect followers pursuing Ling Xiao, seventy-two died, and one became his puppet and undercover.
This was the result of him showing mercy.
The power of the First Sky Demon King was truly terrifying.
Even Ling Xiao himself was a bit stunned by this outcome.
After calming himself slightly, Ling Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn bastard, the backlash is getting stronger, you dream of controlling my body!"
He glanced around and then darted off in one direction. Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
After all, this place was Demon Mountain, and he worried that the Sky Demon Sect would send more men after him, so he had to find a truly safe place.
Of course, before leaving, he took all the possessions from all seventy-three people.
Twelve of them had Storage Rings, which he promptly took.
These people were very powerful, so they naturally had some belongings, and since his Mountain and River World space was vast, he could store as he pleased, taking as much as he could.
His form flickered, and moments later, Ling Xiao halted in a desolate mountain several hundred miles away from Demon Mountain and drilled into a cave, sealing the entrance.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"I must figure out a way to use my own power to re-seal the First Sky Demon King, otherwise, as it continues, I will surely become his puppet, and that would be far too risky."
He was currently unable to merge with the strength of the First Sky Demon King; he could only use it as a terrifying weapon.
A weapon that could be used must also be able to be put away.
