CHAPTER 1814: CHAPTER 1817: THE CROWN PRINCE TAKES ACTION

I didn’t expect that Ling Xiao has actually grown to such an extent, perhaps after Tianhai Ba Tu, Sun Leng Chan, and Mu Wan Shuang, he is the most terrifying one.

Among the crowd, there was a person whose body was trembling, filled with resentment towards Ling Xiao.

This person had appeared in Qijing Tower as well, and he should be a relative or friend of the woman in black.

When Ling Xiao killed the woman in black that day, he was also present, although it was the woman in black’s own doing.

But this person doesn’t care about that, he only knows that Ling Xiao killed his relative, so he wants to seek revenge on Ling Xiao.

"Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, it’s inconvenient to make a move here, but once in the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, I, Cangjin Fei, will definitely kill you!"

In Cangjin Fei’s view, although Ling Xiao can defeat Fengmo Shengjian, he is not his match.

The Fengmo Shengjian’s cultivation level was not low, but he used it very poorly and was too careless, leading to today’s disgraceful appearance; he would not make the same mistake.

"Enough, no matter what, Fengmo Shengjian is also a participant of the White Tiger Summit, you were too harsh on him!"

At this moment, Prince Wu, who had been hiding in the room and unwilling to come out, finally stepped out.

He looked at Ling Xiao coldly and said loudly.

"Pa!"

The answer he received was yet another slap.

"What are you? Just a mere martial artist of the Twelfth-Level Cultivation in the Yin-Yang Realm, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me!

Moreover, when he wanted to kill me earlier, you pretended to be ignorant, and now you come out to meddle, are you looking to die?"

Without waiting for Prince Wu to speak, Ling Xiao’s voice sounded again.

He simply didn’t see Prince Wu in his eyes.

As of now, killing Prince Wu could be done with a flick of his finger, yet the opponent still dared to act presumptuously in front of him.

In this world, what truly matters isn’t loyalty to the ruler or ministers, but strength.

Just like how Prince Wu, as an elder of Tianhai Ba Tu, has less cultivation than Tianhai Ba Tu and therefore has to treat his juniors respectfully, like a grandson.

"You! You!"

Prince Wu was so angry that he nearly spat blood, but he had to admit that it was difficult to argue against Ling Xiao’s words.

He hadn’t intervened earlier and suddenly coming out now to meddle was problematic in itself.

Additionally, his cultivation level wasn’t strong enough to intimidate Ling Xiao.

"What ’me’? If you don’t get back inside, I’ll beat you too!"

Ling Xiao wouldn’t forget how Prince Wu tried to use his friends as a shield in the underground world, and he would repay that enmity sooner or later.

So now, he wouldn’t show Prince Wu any friendly face.

"Big brother, you really didn’t handle this matter fairly, since we’re not getting involved, we shouldn’t; as long as no one dies, they’re just fooling around, what’s the big deal?"

At this moment, Prince Ethan Yun spoke up as well.

This person had been drugged by Ling Xiao long ago and had become Ling Xiao’s mole.

In this situation, saying a fair word wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

"Why are you speaking for him?"

Prince Wu’s cultivation wasn’t as high as Prince Ethan Yun’s, so he didn’t dare rebuke him loudly either.

"Alright, alright, big brother, let’s go back and rest; someone will deal with this matter."

Prince Ethan Yun directly dragged Prince Wu back.

Although Prince Wu was angry, he knew he couldn’t deal with Ling Xiao, so he endured it and went back to drink alone.

"Useless!"

The Princess Consort in the cabin finally couldn’t bear it any longer and directly rushed out.

"Ling Xiao, let him go."

The Princess Consort shouted loudly.

"Why? Could it be that he’s your paramour?"

Ling Xiao laughed lightly.

"You! How dare you frame me!"

The Princess Consort’s face looked unpleasant; this Ling Xiao was truly too bold, even though she came forward, he still dared to be so presumptuous.

"Frame? Haha, if he’s not your paramour, why do you keep defending him repeatedly?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"Get it straight, I am only thinking for the overall situation of the Tianhai Empire, not willing to lose a general before even participating in the White Tiger Summit."

The Princess Consort took a deep breath to calm her raging emotions.

She already knew that Ling Xiao had a tongue as sharp as a knife and that arguing with him wouldn’t benefit anyone.

"Hahaha, what a grand-sounding reason, and where were you enjoying yourself when he wanted to kill me just now?"

Ling Xiao laughed heartily, obviously not taking the Princess Consort seriously at all.

Moreover, in this matter, he was entirely justified.

"What exactly do you want?"

The Princess Consort realized that Ling Xiao is definitely someone tough to handle, and continuing to forcibly order wouldn’t work, instead, it might provoke him further.

"Very simple, have him kneel and apologize to me, and I’ll let him go."

Ling Xiao knew that killing Fengmo Shengjian now would change him from being justified to unjustified, so he wouldn’t do that.

Even if he were to kill, it would be after entering the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts.

"But he is one of the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea; if he kneels to you, it would disgrace the Tianhai Empire, your demand is too excessive."

The Princess Consort frowned.

"Excessive? Him, merely one of the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, kneeling to a dignified Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, is that so humiliating?"

Ling Xiao dismissively said, "If he doesn’t kneel, so be it, I’ll have some entertainment on this journey."

After finishing his words, Ling Xiao gave Fengmo Shengjian another slap across the face.

The strength of the slap was controlled very skillfully, just enough not to kill the opponent, but enough to cause him immense pain.

"Troublesome!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the cabin, and then a sky-covering big hand reached out from the void and forcibly took Fengmo Shengjian from in front of Ling Xiao.

Tianhai Ba Tu!

Ling Xiao squinted his eyes slightly but didn’t make a move.

This Tianhai Ba Tu was incredibly powerful and not someone he could deal with at the moment, plus he didn’t want to expose his cards here, so he didn’t act.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed powerful; even Ling Xiao didn’t dare to make a sound."

"Nonsense, His Highness the Crown Prince is one of the best in the entire White Tiger Continent, probably only Zhengyi Sect’s Phoenix Feiye can compete with him; what does Ling Xiao count for, he’s nothing in front of him."

"Exactly, exactly, although Ling Xiao is strong, when he sees His Highness the Crown Prince, he has to kneel too!"

"Ling Xiao, you just wait, at the White Tiger Summit, I will make you pay, you will die miserably!"

From the cabin, a roar came from Fengmo Shengjian, who had been suppressed by Ling Xiao and had no chance to speak earlier; now, letting it out, his voice was indeed very loud.

Ling Xiao’s lips curled into a cold smile: "Today, with the Crown Prince and Princess Consort protecting you, I indeed can’t touch you, but can they always protect you?

Stupid fool courting humiliation; at the White Tiger Summit, you better stay in Tianhai Ba Tu’s arms, otherwise, I will certainly kill you!"

His voice was cold and domineering, not restraining a bit despite Tianhai Ba Tu being on the ship.
