“Saint, why don’t you escape? Escape to somewhere far away, so Lin Shan won’t be able to find you!” Gu Zhong quickly suggested.

“Exactly! Saint, since you’re a genius, you’ll advance to Grandmaster Boundary in no time. You can return to the sect once you’re in that boundary, and I’m sure that Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan won’t do anything to you!”

Wang Han, who was also worried, agreed as well.

“I’m a target for all in Longevity Sect since I’ve killed Lin Haoyu, are you still willing to stay here? If you report this to Lin Shan, you’ll definitely be highly rewarded!”

Ling Xiao smiled plainly as his sharp gaze fell onto Liu Chuanxiong and the others.

“Saint, what are you talking about!”

Liu Chuanxiong replied seriously, “You’re the one who saved the three of us, and your saving grace is as great as heaven. How can we be so ungrateful?”

Upon noticing their sincerity, Ling Xiao nodded and decided that he would keep them due to their great characters.

“Don’t worry! Lin Shan may be powerful, but he can’t kill me in Longevity Sect. If he’s really insensible, I don’t mind taking a Grand Supreme Elder away from the sect!”

Ling Xiao stood confidently with his hands behind his back.

Unconsciously influenced by his confidence, Liu Chuanxiong and the others placed more trust in him, and they slowly calmed down.

“Piaopiao, keep an eye on him. The rest of you, come with me!”

Ling Xiao told Liu Piaopiao to watch Ling Kun while he led Liu Chuanxiong and the others to the bamboo forest.

“Tell me about the martial arts that you cultivate, and be detailed!” he simply said.

Liu Chuanxiong and the others looked at one another, then answered him accordingly even though they were baffled.

The three of them were orphans without any background. Ever since they entered Longevity Sect, they had been relying on each other. Only after a lot of hard work had they advanced to True Qi Boundary, and became inner sect disciples.

The highest martial arts cultivated by Liu Chuanxiong, Gu Zhong, and Wang Han were Iron Sword Technique, Hot-headed Bull Strength, and Infinite Sea Sword Seal — an Onyx level moderate martial art, an Onyx level inferior martial art and an Onyx level inferior martial respectively!

Ling Xiao pondered for a while before he mentioned, “Liu Chuanxiong, your attainment in Iron Sword Technique’s satisfactory, but that’s a terrible martial art. I’ll teach you Sky Weight Sword, an Earthly level peerless martial art. If you cultivate it to its peak, it’s not at all inferior to a Heavenly level martial art!”

“What?! An Earthly level peerless martial art?”

Liu Chuanxiong quivered for a while as he was extremely dumbfounded.

Ling Xiao’s words had caused a surge of emotions inside him. It was worth noting that the most powerful martial art in Longevity Sect was Seven Stars to Moon Sword, yet Ling Xiao said that he wanted to teach him an Earthly level peerless martial art.

Nevertheless, seeing Liu Chuanxiong’s face of disbelief, Ling Xiao did not explain further. Instead, he pressed the spot between Liu Chuanxiang’s eyebrows with his finger, then channeled the exceptionally mysterious Sky Weight Sword into his mind.

Of course, he had only passed him the first section of the technique, so it was up to Liu Chuanxiong’s performance to see if he was worthy of having the remaining section.

Liu Chuanxiong seemed to have turned into an idiot when he sensed the mysterious martial art in his mind. He immediately sat with his legs crossed and began to comprehend it.

Gu Zhong and Wang Han were shocked as well. However, they looked at Ling Xiao eagerly.

Ling Xiao grinned. “Gu Zhong, you were born with divine powers that make you suitable for cultivating body-tempering martial arts. I’ll pass you Muscle Bull’s Demonic Punch, an Earthly level peerless martial art! Wang Han, your quiet nature makes you a fit for ethereal sword techniques, but Infinite Sea Sword Seal isn’t suitable for you. I’ll pass you Maiden’s Thirteen Swords, an Earthly level peerless martial art as well!”

Subsequently, he pressed the spot between Gu Zhong and Wang Yuan’s eyebrows with his fingers too, passing them the first section of the respective martial arts.

Sky Weight Sword, Muscle Bull’s Demonic Punch, and Maiden’s Thirteen Swords!

All three were Earthly level peerless martial arts. Besides, they each had their supporting Qi-refining heart techniques, which Ling Xiao had passed on to Liu Chuanxiong, Gu Zhong, and Wang Han as well after concluding through tests that they had fine qualities.

In the future, Ling Xiao alone could not develop Longevity Sect, hence he needed to groom some powerful disciples.

Seeing as the three of them were overjoyed and had begun cultivating, he left the bamboo forest.

He headed to the pavilion to check on Xue Wei who was still deeply asleep. However, he was no longer concerned as her condition had stabilized, and so, he left.

Bam!

Ling Kun was thrown to the ground, and the sand and dust that filled the air made him cough non-stop.

“Tell me, who told you to go against me?”

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Kun indifferently.

“What do you mean? I don’t know!”

Ling Kun was terrified.

“Are you still not going to be honest with me? Nevermind, I’ll just have to use my mental power!”

Ling Xiao sneered before he shot two black vortexes with his eyes at Ling Kun. On the other hand, Ling Kun was so afraid that his eyes instantly turned dull.

Ling Xiao’s mental power was so strong that Ling Kun gave in as soon as he exerted a secret technique that shocked his mind.

“Who asked you to go against me?” Ling Xiao asked again.

“It was Great Elder!”

With a lifeless face, Ling Xiao continued, “Three years ago after Demon-conquering King went missing, you were sent to Longevity Sect. Initially, Grand Elder only asked me to monitor you, but you’ve somehow advanced by leaps and bounds, which made him worry because he planned to let his grandson inherit Demon-conquering King’s throne. If you were to return to the Capital, his plan will be ruined, so he asked me to contact some people in the sect to eliminate you. Since Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan and Grand Elder are old friends, I went to look for him and Lin Haoyu…”

Ling Xiao frowned.

He knew that his body belonged to the only son of Demon-conquering King in the Ancient Great Barrenland, but ever since the king went missing, he was sent to Longevity Sect to be protected.

For three years, although he was not very talented, he lived peacefully under the sect’s care.

Who knew, Liu Yiyi and Ling Kun would conspire to kill him and bring about the rebirth of Ling Xiao the Sky Devouring Supreme?

Even then, the people from the Capital were unwilling to stop.

‘Great Elder Ling Yunxiang? And his grandson, Ling Tianci? Since I’ve occupied your body, I’ll kill them for you!’ Ling Xiao thought to himself.

“There’s another reason why Great Elder wants to kill you. It is because of the marriage the Demon-conquering King and the monarch had arranged for you when you were little. The monarch was going to make his little princess your wife, but ever since the king went missing, the Capital knew that you’re trash, so the royal family gave up on that thought. On top of that, Eldest Master Ling Tianci likes the little princess too. Only by killing you, the engagement will be canceled, and he’ll have a chance to marry the princess!”

Under the control of Ling Xiao’s mind secret technique, Ling Kun revealed everything.
