CHAPTER 1441: CHAPTER 1444: WHEN THE UPPER BEAM IS CROOKED, THE LOWER BEAM IS SLANTED

The people looked fearfully at the flying wheel ship slowly descending from the sky, thinking it was over.

Even the Giant Whale Sect is hard enough to deal with, and now the Island Master of the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island has personally come forward. Can they really leave alive?

There truly is no hope left, utterly doomed.

"What the Island Master says is true, I am indeed useless, but this kid is so unpredictable that he must not be underestimated."

Nan Sha dared not harbor even the slightest discontent or displeasure in front of the Chief of the Ji Family, the Island Master of the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island.

If others say he is worthless, then he is worthless, there’s no point in debating.

Considering he couldn’t even handle a young rascal, ultimately leading to the demise of Ji Ying.

Ling Xiao looked at the people of the Immortal Island Ji Clan and couldn’t help but think of his own parents.

Back then, his parents had passed by the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island and lived here for a while.

And his father was Ji Fulin, so he too had familial ties to the Ji Clan.

Though not by blood.

This feeling is truly peculiar, evidently related by blood, yet there isn’t the slightest sense of kinship.

"Island Lord Ji, today’s incident stems from this Black Water Lake causing many experts of the Ji Clan to be slain, yet nine-tenths of martial artists present have already been killed, reaching a death toll of nine thousand. Can this please now be put to rest?"

At the moment of despair among the crowd, the Volcano Elder stepped forward and respectfully said to the white-bearded elder, "The Black Water Lake remains yours, the Ji Clan’s. We will leave immediately."

"Good riddance!"

The white-bearded elder coldly glanced at the Volcano Elder and said, "Killing those of my Ji Clan, it is not enough that ninety percent die; even if all die, it would hardly dispel the hatred in my heart. Earlier, you dared to kill, but now you seek to relent?"

"Island Master’s words are misguided; it was indeed only a few who committed the killings. Most did not act and have thus lost their lives. Isn’t that enough?"

The Volcano Old Woman couldn’t help but express.

"You two are also worthless; at such ripe age, you’ve only cultivated to the Fifth Cave Heaven Realm. Were it me, I would have kept silent."

The white-bearded elder suddenly sneered, "Did Ji Ying not tell you of our Ji family tradition that we would rather mistakenly kill ten thousand than let a single one slip through?"

"Hmph, truly when the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam is whacked. I thought that rascal was misusing the Ji family prestige to misbehave, yet it turns out you old thing were directing it all along. So he was indeed led to his death by you."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang above the Black Water Lake, reaching everyone’s ears.

Especially the Ji family members, who heard it clearly.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

At this point, shouldn’t one choose to beg for forgiveness and admit wrongdoing?

How could Ling Xiao dare provoke the Chief of the Ji Family like this?

They didn’t understand, but Ling Xiao knew exactly what he was doing.

From the conversation between the Volcano Duo and that white-bearded elder, he had already discerned.

The Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island’s Ji family is nothing but a bunch of rubbish!

A bunch of trash that only knows how to use their power to oppress others.

Pleading or not, the final outcome is still death. If that’s the case, what difference does it make?

"Who are you?"

Strangely, the white-bearded elder didn’t erupt in anger; perhaps he had encountered too many of these impudent youths.

"Ling Xiao!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao no longer concealed his name; there was no need.

The Ji family, someone would definitely know his identity, there was no point in hiding it.

"The one who killed that arrogant fool Ji Ying! And of course, the one who discovered the Black Water Lake."

Ling Xiao calmly stated.

"So it’s you!"

The white-bearded elder’s pupils suddenly contracted and then burst into laughter, "Ha ha ha ha! Searching high and low, only to find effortlessly! Huang Tian, let this man be your task!"

Ji Huangtian nodded and then stepped forward; this was his second time facing Ling Xiao.

On the previous occasion, he casually struck and broke Ling Xiao’s Fire Dragon Sword Domain.

And that was Ling Xiao utilizing the Power of the Human King within the Fire Dragon Sword Domain.

This time, he looked at Ling Xiao, brimming with an aura that was domineering and fierce, like an emperor standing prominently, commanding even heaven and earth to follow his orders.

"Ji Huangtian!"

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and chuckled coldly.

In his eyes, so-called geniuses hold no sway whatsoever; after all, what separates a genius from the average is only talent. Cultivation level isn’t necessarily overly impressive.

Like Ji Huangtian and that Ji family Island Master, the difference in strength is immense.

Ling Xiao wouldn’t even give face to the white-bearded elder, why would he fear such a so-called genius?

But unlike him, others were somewhat fearful upon seeing Ji Huangtian.

This terrifying genius ranked second on the Dragon and Phoenix List, only comparable to that monster from Changle Immortal Island. Others, under the age of thirty, simply could not compare to him.

At the age of fifteen, Ji Huangtian claimed the top spot on the Dragon and Phoenix List and then journeyed far to the White Tiger Continent.

Unfortunately, upon his return, due to the emergence of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, young experts from Divine Phoenix and Tian Long Continent abounded.

There was even the monster from Changle Immortal Island who ultimately defeated him, leaving him in second place.

It would be easy for others to become utterly defeated.

But Ji Huangtian did not fall into decline; instead, after awakening his Martial Soul, he traveled once again to the White Tiger Continent until summoned back by his family.

Nobody knows just how strong he truly is.

Although he remains second on the Dragon and Phoenix List, speculation about him abounds.

After all, he lost to the monster from Changle Immortal Island before he had awakened his Martial Soul, while that one already possessed a formidable Martial Soul.

Many believe he might now be even more frightening than that monster from Changle Immortal Island.

"Those of you wishing to live can do so easily; whoever can withstand one move from me without dying may leave."

Such arrogant words brought silence over everyone as they pondered whether this was an opportunity or a disaster.

Ultimately, nearly everyone shook their heads.

Because they lacked the confidence to survive Ji Huangtian’s attack.

Even one move seemed impossible.

No one wished to take the risk; failing to withstand means death!

Surviving would surely result in severe injury. Truly, to do such a thing for a bunch of unrelated people, is it worth it?

"Brother Huang Tian, they are innocent, can’t you free them?"

At this moment, Ji Mengmeng spoke.

Ji Huangtian cast a cold glance at the girl and suddenly reached out, pulling her onto the flying wheel ship from a distance.

Ling Xiao did not intervene.

Because he knew Ji Mengmeng would not be in danger now.

"Withstand one move of yours; how difficult is it, do you truly believe yourself invincible?"

Among the crowd, the Volcano Elder stepped forward.

"As an old man, I am not afraid of death; I only hope that should I be so fortunate to survive, the Ji family members will adhere to their promise."

"This old man!"

Looking at this elder, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but feel a strong wave of admiration.
