“Come back!”
Ling Xiao recalled his flying sword back into the Landscape World.
Ling Xiao could have killed this Black Scarf Thief Big Chieftain outside, but the treasures of the Black Scarf Thieves were very attractive to him.
Therefore, he had turned into a Martial Soul Clone and followed the Big Chieftain to guard against any surprise attack.
He had not expected the Big Chieftain to not value life and make a sneak attack. If his true body had been struck, he might have really gotten injured.
When the Big Chieftain had reached for his pocket, Ling Xiao had feared the situation changing, so he had immediately killed him with Imperial Sword Technique.
The Landscape Martial Soul had warned him that the thing the Big Chieftain had wanted to take out was enough to threaten him.
Ling Xiao walked over and took Big Chieftain’s storage ring first. Other than some advanced and Entry-level Peak Martial Arts, gold, silver, and dozens of spirit stones, there was nothing else.
Thus, he guessed that the other top chieftains’ storage rings contained similar things.
He thought for a bit and simply removed the gold and spirit stones. He planned to leave the rest to the Ling Clan.
In any case, he didn’t need silver, and those advanced and Entry-level Peak Martial Arts didn’t attract his interest.
He then stored the treasury into his Landscape World.
Like before, he left the silvers and martial arts to the Ling Clan. He only took the gold and low-grade spirit stones.
Afterward, he looked into the pocket of that Big Chieftain.
The analysis of the Landscape Martial Soul concluded——
Exterminate Dragon Pill: a by-product of an Alchemist Master’s failed refining, possessing terrifying explosion power that can injure even Rank Seven Martial Vein martial artists.Martial artists below Peak Rank Six Martial Vein will die beyond a doubt.
Because this thing had been created accidentally, it couldn’t be mass-produced.
“What a terrifying thing! Fortunately, I didn’t give him a chance to use it; otherwise, I would have received serious injuries.”
Ling Xiao inhaled sharply. His continued survival was thanks to the timely warning of the Landscape Martial Soul.
He stowed the Exterminate Dragon Pill into the Landscape World. Finally, he returned to the hall and took the remaining four storage rings, once more storing the gold and low-grade spirit stones into his Landscape World.
He then gathered all the martial arts, silver, and so on in one place and shot a ringing arrow that would allow Ling Xiaotian’s people to quickly gather and carry these things back to the Ling Clan.
However, he wouldn’t give the storage rings to the Ling Clan.
Although he now had seven in total, they could be exchanged for spirit stones. Upon arriving at White Cloud Capital, he planned to sell all seven.
In any case, he didn’t need them.
The storage capacity of the Landscape World far exceeded these storage rings.
After the ringing arrow was fired, the Ling Clan’s people arrived within 15 minutes.
The lineup was truly terrifying: Ling Xiaotian, all three Supreme Elders, Ling Yihang, Ling Yixue, and others.
He guessed that only Ling Wuhen was left in Heavenly Peak City to guard the Divine Sword Sect.
Entering the lair of the Black Scarf Thieves, Ling Clan’s Patriarch Ling Xiaotian and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Although they had believed that Ling Xiao would take care of the Black Scarf Thieves, they had never expected it to be so easy for him.
It hadn’t been long, but Ling Xiao had already eradicated the Black Scarf Thieves.
Not only that, but he had even found their underground treasury.
“Patriarch, you all will have to bring these things back to the clan. I was delayed too long, so I should leave now.”
After wiping out the Black Scarf Thieves, he was thoroughly familiar with his strength.
At present, he could say that he was unmatched below Martial Masters. Even a Half Martial Master wasn’t his opponent.
Therefore, he had to leave this place as soon as possible. Only by going to a wider place would he improve.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, I will go with you.”
After Ling Xiao had left, Ling Yixue had been restless, and she wanted to secretly follow him.
However, she had never thought that Ling Xiao would release a ringing arrow. Thinking that Ling Xiao had met with an accident, she had hastily rushed over.
There were some things one would realize only after they were lost.
Ling Yixue originally thought that she wouldn’t care too much about his departure, but after he left, she realized that this person’s image was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Thus, she understood her own heart and proposed to leave together with him.
“All I could ask for.”
Ling Xiao smiled. “Now, Senior Apprentice Sister is a Martial Master. After going to White Cloud Capital, I must rely on Senior Apprentice Sister’s protection.”
He also wanted Ling Yixue to accompany him to White Cloud Capital because there was not much meaning for her to stay here; that would merely wither her talent.
“You have a honey tongue!”
Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Ling Yixue couldn’t help but wryly smile. Although she was indeed a Martial Master, she knew that her chance of victory against Ling Xiao didn’t exceed 50% against.
The most terrifying aspect of Ling Xiao was not strength but his innate wisdom.
“If you two want to go to White Cloud Capital, I suggest you two to go to Dragon Gate first!”
From the time Ling Xiaotian had learned that Ling Xiao would leave, he had been busy inquiring for more information, hoping to find a shortcut to make it easier for him to integrate into White Cloud Capital.
Just a moment ago, he had received a piece of information, so he had personally come.
“Dragon Gate?”
“Yes! Dragon Gate is a port near Heavenly Peak City. Usually, the cargo ships of the Ren Race, Blue-Eyed Race, and other races dock there.”
Ling Xiaotian answered.
“I know the place, but why would I go there? I said that I want to go to White Cloud Capital.” Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
“Have you heard about a Dream Pill?” Ling Xiaotian asked.
“I’ve heard!”
Ling Xiao used to be a beggar, so he had heard a lot of weird things.
According to rumor, the Dream Pill originated from overseas. It could make the cultivation of martial artists much easier and would also rapidly increase their strength.
Therefore, it was called a Dream Pill.
After telling Ling Xiaotian what he knew, Ling Xiaotian shook his head. “The Dream Pill has such effects, but once you take it, you cannot stop. If you stop using it for a day, your entire body will feel uncomfortable. If you stop using it for a month, it will be unbearable, and if you stop using it for three months, you will lose all your martial arts!”
“That’s terrible!”
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but gasp.
“Many people think that the Dream Pill is a good thing, but this thing is very addictive. You can’t stop after using it, which is equivalent to other people grasping your handle.”
Ling Xiaotian sighed. “I heard that the Dream Pill was secretly refined by the Ren Race in order to sell it in the Human Race’s territory and force human martial artists to obey their commands, reducing them to puppets.”
“Many thanks for the warning, Patriarch! We two will never take such things.”
Ling Xiao seriously said.
“Well, that’s for the best, but I’m saying this not because of that. In fact, I want you and Yixue to seek refuge with Lord Lin Ze who is in charge of destroying the Dream Pill in Dragon Gate.”
Ling Xiao finally revealed his true intentions.
“Lord Lin Ze’s cultivation base is already at Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein, and he is an honorable and principled person. Seeking refuge with him will greatly help you two.”
