Chapter 2439: Chapter 2442: Invading the Sword Clan (Part 1)

Today, Lin Ruoxian came to find Ling Xiao to discuss how to help Ling Jiaojiao.

Strength in numbers, she understands that well.

Moreover, Ling Xiao is full of tricky ideas and possesses very formidable methods. Consulting him is definitely better than rashly acting on her own.

"Why didn’t she come to find me?"

Ling Xiao sighed and said.

"You’re so smart; you should know the answer. Your sister came to me rather than you because she didn’t want to burden you.

She knows that you’ve offended many people and are in danger yourself. If you offend the Sword Clan because of her, it would be even more troublesome.

I’m different. I am the future heir of the She Clan, and she wants me to help her through negotiation."

Lin Ruoxian replied.

"Too naive."

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "This sister of mine is still inexperienced, for the Mysterious World is different from the ordinary world; it’s a world of martial artists. Ultimately, every issue is resolved through strength.

Yet she is considerate of me, knowing that I have offended many people.

I haven’t cared about her during this time, it’s truly shameful."

"Don’t blame yourself. You just didn’t expect that the Sword Clan would go to such lengths to make her a sacrificial pawn, right?"

Lin Ruoxian, of course, understood Ling Xiao.

"Indeed, the reputation of the Sword Clan on Eight Immortals Mountain is better than that of the Sha Clan. But now, it seems the Sha Clan is a real villain while the Sword Clan is a complete hypocrite!"

The thought of Ling Jiaojiao being imprisoned within the Sword Clan makes Ling Xiao extremely unhappy.

He wishes to rescue her immediately.

But he restrains himself.

This situation requires gathering more allies.

Alone, he has no weight.

He doesn’t know when the Hei Xianshan Mountain Master Heiye Wuxing will return; if he helps, it would be easier.

But if Heiye Wuxing doesn’t return for a long time, he’ll have to face this ordeal alone. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"What do you plan to do?"

Lin Ruoxian stared at Ling Xiao and asked.

Ling Xiao’s eyes showed a hint of madness as he looked at Lin Ruoxian and said, "Sister Ruo Xian, if I say I want to storm the Sword Clan and snatch my sister out, what would you do?"

"You’re crazy!"

Lin Ruoxian regretted telling Ling Xiao about this matter.

She should have known, given the close sibling bond between Ling Xiao and Ling Jiaojiao, how could Ling Xiao remain calm when this was revealed?

"Yes, I’m crazy. If someone imprisoned your dear sister and forced her to marry, what would you do?"

Ling Xiao’s smile carried a chilling murderous intent.

Raging for a loved one is something he has done before, and he never regrets it.

Even if it leads to his death, he still wouldn’t regret it.

"It’s not forced marriage."

Lin Ruoxian shook her head.

"Not forced marriage?"

Ling Xiao was stunned. "Then what is it?"

"Forced marriage was a matter from a month ago. At first, the Sword Clan intended to use the lives of people in Yuhua Town and your life as leverage to make Ling Jiaojiao yield.

But the issue is, Yuhua Town has now become independent, with layered defense arrays. The Sword Clan has gone there several times without success.

As for you, with Heiye Wuxing’s protection and you being a member of the Dark Clan, they dare not act.

So the enraged Sword Clan intends to forcefully proceed."

Since she had already spilled everything, Lin Ruoxian decided to confess everything. Might as well go crazy together with Ling Xiao.

If Ling Xiao dies, she feels she couldn’t live on either.

"Forcefully proceed?"

The flames of anger within Ling Xiao grew even fiercer, like an erupting volcano capable of incinerating everything.

"Yes, they gave your sister three days to consider.

After all, for such a matter, if she cooperates willingly, the result is naturally better. Forcing her would require using drugs, making it more complicated, possibly harmful to future children.

They want that child, naturally unwilling to proceed this way."

Lin Ruoxian nodded, "Today’s the first day, so I hurried to notify you. If you’re truly planning to go crazy, I’ll accompany you."

"Is it worth it?"

Ling Xiao looked at Lin Ruoxian and asked.

"To bleed for the one I love, I’m willing as Lin Ruoxian."

Perhaps feeling this trip to the Sword Clan might be a one-way journey, Lin Ruoxian didn’t want to bury her thoughts anymore. She wanted to speak boldly and let Ling Xiao know.

"Ah, Sister Ruo Xian’s affection, I find it difficult to repay."

Ling Xiao sighed, pondering silently.

To receive admiration from such a heroic woman, Ling Xiao felt truly fortunate.

But he had sworn to love only one person in this life.

That person had risked her life for him once, necessitating a long reincarnation.

If he accepted Lin Ruoxian, wouldn’t that be unfaithful to Moon Lady?

How could his conscience allow him?

No matter what, even if it leads to his death, he must protect Lin Ruoxian and Ling Jiaojiao!

Ling Xiao took a deep breath.

Though not easily moved, when faced with such deep sentiment, how could he remain indifferent?

He didn’t respond to Lin Ruoxian’s words, as he didn’t know what to say.

In terms of emotions, he was still just a naive young man.

Lin Ruoxian sharply sensed this and didn’t dwell on it.

She didn’t want to use emotion to force Ling Xiao.

Should Ling Xiao accept every woman who treats him kindly? That would be exhausting.

"Tell me what to do, I’ll follow your lead."

Lin Ruoxian shifted the topic, revitalizing her spirit.

"In the next two days, I’ll make more preparations and wait for the Mountain Master. On the third day, we’ll act.

If words don’t resolve this, we’ll cause a commotion in the Sword Clan, even if it means starting a civil war on Eight Immortal Mountain. I can’t tolerate such treatment of my sister amid the Ling Family."

Ling Xiao plans to prepare more Array Refining Stones in the next two days.

Within others’ territory, unable to set up arrays in advance, those stones are crucial.

Moreover, he wants to wait for Heiye Wuxing.

Aiding his cause with a master like that would be greatly beneficial.

Additionally, Shen Dian needs rest.

Fortunately, there’s still some time.

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on the Sword Clan. If there’s any change, I’ll immediately find you.

On the third day, we’ll act!"

After speaking, Lin Ruoxian departed.

Two days passed, and there was still no news of Heiye Wuxing. Ling Xiao asked Heiye Wuguang and learned that both Heiye Wuxing and Heiye Wuliang had received tasks from the sect and set out.

These tasks were in line with Sword Soul Stone’s three conditions.

Neither early nor late, arranging such matters at this time clearly indicated the sect’s intentions.

Most likely, the upper echelons of the Dark Clan and Sword Clan thoroughly coordinated for this.

Ling Xiao even heard that tomorrow at the wedding banquet of Jian Liufeng and Ling Jiaojiao, Dark Clan member An Yexing, An Hua, and several experts would attend.

This group is truly revolting.
