In addition to being injured, Shangguan Lei was also seriously poisoned by the plague poison.
However, this was not a problem for Ling Xiao.
He absorbed all these plague poisons and used them to nourish the Plague Demon King Martial Soul.
And not long after, Shanggual Lei regained his consciousness.
Upon seeing Ling Xiao, Shangguan Lei was relieved. He then asked in surprise: “Junior Brother Ling, what about that Plague Demon King?”
Ling Xiao indifferently replied: “Dead!”
He didn’t explain anything, and Shangguan Lei also didn’t dare to ask more about it.
Shangguan Lei was very clear that this junior brother had too many secrets, and the less he knew, the better for him.
In any case, he had already made up his mind that he would never become an enemy of Ling Xiao in the future. Although he didn’t know how the Plague Demon King died, he was sure that the other party definitely died at the hands of Junior Brother Ling.
Before he had lost his consciousness, he had clearly sensed a very terrifying aura.
That was not the Plague Demon King’s aura. Therefore, there was only one possibility. This Junior Brother Ling was concealing his true strength.
In the past, he was stupid enough to be an enemy of this freak. He was truly tired of living.
Perhaps, Junior Brother Ling was more terrifying than Hei Suo, and perhaps, his achievements would not be lower than Meng Yuan.
He must be on good terms with Junior Brother Ling.
“Senior Brother Shangguan Lei, do you want to attach a puppet prosthesis on this leg or do you want to regrow it?”
Ling Xiao wanted to make Shangguan Lei owe him a favor. Like that, when the sect asked about this matter, Shangguan Lei would definitely be biased towards him.
It was better to have fewer enemies and have more friends.
He didn’t have any deep-seated hatred with Shangguan Lei, and there was no need to create one just because of Hei Suo and Meng Yuan.
“Of course, it would be better if I could regrow it, but I don’t have that ability.”
Shangguan Lei said with a bitter smile.
“That’s easy.”
Ling Xiao indifferently said: “In the past, I cultivated a technique named <Nine Transformation Golden Body>, which can make severed limbs regrow using gold. Originally, I could only use it on myself, but later, I researched it and made some changes. Thereby, it can be used on other people too. Merely, the consumption of true essence was also increased by tenfold.”
“Junior Brother Ling, rest assured, you already have a life-saving grace on me. If you cure my severed leg, then even if I, Shangguan Lei, have no conscience, I will never go against you.”
Shangguan Lei was overjoyed upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words and added: “After returning to the Moonlight Sect, I will make a clean break with Hei Suo and Meng Yuan, and I will stop contacting them.”
“That’s not necessary.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile: “Senior Brother doesn’t need to do so much. You can continue being friends with Hei Suo and Meng Yuan.”
“I understand!”
Shangguan Lei was inwardly surprised. Ling Xiao was less than fifteen years old, but his mind was already so mature. The other party was actually making him spy on Hei Suo and Meng Yuan.
Amazing!
Shangguan Lei had endless admiration. Even under the continuous suppression and obstruction of Hei Suo, Ling Xiao was able to achieve his current achievements. This showed that he was very intelligent. Otherwise, he might have already died long ago without anybody knowing.
An hour later.
Ling Xiao’s forehead was covered in beads of sweat and his complexion was a little pale.
However, Shangguan Lei’s severed leg had completely regrown.
This was the first time Ling Xiao had used <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> to treat others. Therefore, he was not too adept and the consumption was also too big.
“Junior Brother Ling, you can rest here first. I’ll go find something to eat.”
Upon seeing Ling Xiao was so exhausted, Shangguan Lei said.
“Okay, go, and also look for those slaves in passing. The Plague Demon King has planted a kind of plague seed in their bodies. Once they leave this underground lair, they will die. Bring them here and I will try to get rid of the plague seeds in their bodies.”
Ling Xiao nodded his head, closed his eyes and began to recover.
Although the consumption was very big, to his pleasant surprise, his cultivation seemed to show signs of a breakthrough.
After Shangguan Lei left, he took a pill, ‘Soul Essence Pill’.
The potency of this low-yellow-grade pill was truly overbearing enough.
If a Martial Vein Realm martial artist ate it, then he would die bleeding from seven orifices.
However, now, his cultivation base was already at the Initial Rank Two Transcendent Realm. Naturally, there was no problem.
Coupled with the suppression of the Ancient Golden Dragon and the Landscape Martial Soul, this low-yellow-grade pill didn’t dare to be impudent.
An hour later, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and two golden lights shot out from his eyes.
Breakthrough!
Moreover, this time, he reached Peak Rank Two Transcendent Realm from Initial Rank Two Transcendent Realm. He was only one step away from Rank Three Transcendent Realm.
He could feel that this sect task had helped him greatly.
Not only because of the Soul Essence Pill, but mainly because of the battles, he had benefited a lot.
Especially in the battle against the Plague Demon King, where he might die on the spot if he made a mistake, he was very tense.
As a result, his true essence was under tremendous pressure, and it was continuously seething and growing.
In the end, a breakthrough was just a matter of course.
At his side, Shangguan Lei was sitting cross-legged, becoming his dharma protector.
And in the front, there were over a thousand terrified people.
They were all kneeling and trembling. Especially when golden lights shot out from Ling Xiao’s eyes, they trembled even more severely.
“You all, don’t be afraid. I’m the Moonlight Sect’s disciple, Ling Xiao. This time, I came to this valley to investigate the situation and save you all. The Plague Demon King you all feared, I have already slain him!”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“It turned out to be the master of the Moonlight Sect!”
“We are saved!”
“But is that Demon King truly dead? The plague seeds in our bodies have not disappeared.”
After everyone heard Ling Xiao’s words, they couldn’t help making comments. They were both excited and worried.
“Absorb!”
Ling Xiao didn’t explain. He just raised his hand and the phantom of the Plague Demon King Martial Soul vaguely appeared behind him.
Only Shangguan Lei could see this phantom. Those Martial Vein Realm martial artists and ordinary people couldn’t see it at all.
Ling Xiao had done this in order to avoid trouble.
It wouldn’t be good if, by chance, he was treated as the Plague Demon King’s incarnation.
Along with the appearance of the Plague Demon King Martial Soul, thousands of plague seeds turned into green lights, flew out of the slaves’ bodies, and then merged into the martial soul.
After completing its task, the Plague Demon King Martial Soul disappeared.
“Long live Moonlight Sect!”
“Long live Master Ling!”
Those slaves were originally the common people of this valley. Some of them were even Martial Vein Realm martial artists. After suffering this catastrophe, they had thought that they would have to spend their entire lives like this.
Never seeing the sun again and dying miserably.
However, the appearance of Ling Xiao changed everything.
The other party actually got rid of those terrifying plague seeds in their bodies, and they became normal again.
“Among you all, who can be the representative?”
Ling Xiao asked.
Three people walked out from the crowd.
One was an old man and the other two were youths.
“This old man is the Elder of the Green Valley, and these two are the heirs of the Green Valley’s Valley Master.”
That old man explained.
“Very good.”
Ling Xiao waved his hand, taking out tens of thousands of silvers from his Landscape World.
“I’m leaving these silvers to you all to rebuild the valley. This place no longer has the plague. I hope that this Green Valley will become as beautiful as before.”
These tens of thousands of silvers were of little significance to Ling Xiao. But he could use them to sell favors, accumulate merits and do good, which naturally made him content.
