Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14176 gave Su Lingyin a real headache.

Ling Xiao carefully reviewed his recent actions and couldn't figure out where he had offended Senior Dao Sha.

It was no easy feat to revive the Twin Fiends Sect; it was a goal he achieved only after expending tremendous effort.

The Twin Fiends Sect possesses formidable strength and profound resources. If we can gain their support and assistance, the development of the Overlord Empire will surely be greatly enhanced.

However, if Dao Sha is dissatisfied with him, the situation will be completely different.

Not only will they not receive any help, but their lives will also be in danger.

Ling Xiao knew that Dao Sha's strength was unfathomable. If Dao Sha really intended to kill him, he would probably have little chance of fighting back.

Lei Ling remained silent for a moment, his mind falling into complete silence.

Ling Xiao could sense that Lei Ling seemed to be carefully choosing her words, wanting to give him the most accurate answer.

Finally, Lei Ling slowly spoke, giving an answer that chilled Ling Xiao to the bone:
"It's hard to say.

However, I think... the possibility is quite high.

"Why?"

Ling Xiao's eyes widened, as if he had suffered a great injustice, his voice trembling with tears, almost as if he were about to shed them.

He really couldn't understand why he had been so careful and diligent in his actions, yet he had displeased Senior Dao Sha.

Lei Ling's voice echoed in his mind, and there seemed to be a hint of something indescribable... "sincerity" in that voice?
Listening closely, it sounded like it carried a mix of teasing and seriousness:
"Because you, kid... many times, your way of doing things is really... deserving of a beating."

Think about it, in your daily life, don't you often do things unconventionally, sometimes even with a bit of arrogance? Anyone in your shoes might find that a little displeasing.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was speechless. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word, only managing a helpless "..." sound.

Deep down, he couldn't help but cry out that he was innocent:
"I'm innocent!"

Aren't all my actions aimed at surviving better in this dog-eat-dog world, protecting those around me, and allowing the Overlord Empire to grow stronger?
How did that make him deserving of a beating?

He stood there blankly, as if frozen in place, bewildered in the wind.

His gaze slowly moved down to the black-clad man's head at his feet, his eyes still wide open, seemingly telling a story of resentment and bitterness.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. This man in black had only met such a miserable end because of his momentary carelessness.

Thinking about the terrifying beings that might awaken within the Twin Fiends Sect, beings that even Lei Ling found troublesome, Ling Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

That's someone even Lei Ling fears. If he really becomes hostile towards me, I probably won't even have a chance to fight back.

And then there's the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, always watching with predatory eyes, ready to send even stronger assassins at any moment. It's like a heavy mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Ling Xiao shook his head vigorously, trying to shake these annoying worries out of his mind.

He took a deep breath, gradually calming himself down, and his eyes regained their sharpness, like a cold star twinkling in the night sky.

There's always a way out!

I hope Senior Dao Sha won't repay kindness with enmity, since I did the Shuang Sha Sect a great favor.

The biggest problem right now is still that damned sanctuary!

He silently encouraged himself, telling himself not to be intimidated by the difficulties before him.

He knew in his heart that the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary would never let him go easily and would definitely continue to send assassins to deal with him.

I must improve my skills as soon as possible and be prepared to meet all challenges.

With that thought, Ling Xiao moved swiftly, like a ghost, and instantly left the desolate Demon Needle Space.

Only the head of the man in black remained, lying quietly on the ground, as if witnessing everything that had happened here.

And the Twin Fiends Gate, seemingly unchanging since time immemorial, still stands there quietly, exuding a mysterious and terrifying aura.

Deep within the Twin Fiends Sect, a terrifying will subtly fluctuated, like a ripple on a calm lake, before returning to stillness as if nothing had ever happened.

When Ling Xiao leisurely stepped out of the eerie space filled with the aura of the magic needles, which seemed to hold countless secrets, he was surprised to find that Su Lingyin had not left yet.

She stood there quietly, her graceful figure exuding a coldness that kept people at a distance.

Seeing Ling Xiao come out, she raised an eyebrow slightly, giving him a curious look with a hint of inquiry and doubt in her eyes, before asking directly:
"What about that person?"

Ling Xiao looked relaxed, casually flicking non-existent dust off his sleeves with a graceful and effortless gesture, as if what he had just experienced was nothing more than a trivial matter.

He spoke in a calm tone, as if discussing whether the weather was good or bad, and said unhurriedly:

"One sword, and the debt is settled."

Upon hearing this, Su Lingyin's previously calm pupils suddenly contracted, as if she had been greatly shocked.

She stared intently at Ling Xiao, her gaze like a sharp blade, shooting straight at him as if trying to pierce the secrets deep within his soul, not missing a single subtle expression on his face.

"Ling Xiao, do you think I'm stupid?"

Her voice was cold and sharp, carrying an unquestionable tone.

In her opinion, the man in black was no ordinary person; how could he have been so easily defeated by Ling Xiao with a single sword strike?
There must be something fishy going on here; perhaps Ling Xiao is just deliberately giving her the runaround.

Looking at Su Lingyin's suspicious expression, Ling Xiao's lips curled into a faint smile, a smile that carried a hint of mockery and teasing.

He spread his hands, his hands were fair and slender, but now they held a helpless expression as he said:

"No remains of the body, the soul has been scattered, not even a trace is left."

Or, would you please come to my space and check it out yourself?
The place is small, but it's clean.

As he spoke, he made a gesture of "please," an elegant yet somewhat provocative gesture.

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding spatial laws instantly froze, as if an invisible force had frozen everything around them, like a cold glass dome, making people feel oppressed and suffocated.

Her gaze grew even colder, like stars in a cold night, radiating a chilling aura.

She didn't move, much less go inside.

That mysterious space?
That's Ling Xiao's lair, a bizarre space that even she can't fully see through.

Who knows how many dangers and secrets are hidden inside, and there might even be many traps set by Ling Xiao.

Go in?

Once they're inside, they might never be able to get out easily!

That bastard is clearly provoking her and testing her limits!
