Chapter 2440: Chapter 2443: Assault on the Sword Clan (Part 2)

Clearly, this is a forced marriage banquet.

The woman does not agree.

Most of her relatives don’t even know.

The only one who knows, her brother Ling Xiao, strongly disagrees as well.

Yet it has to happen.

It’s as if the woman is not being treated as a person, but simply as a tool to obtain the Sword Emperor Martial Soul and bloodline.

"Kid, I’m warning you, don’t do anything rash tomorrow. With your strength, there’s no way to confront the Sword Clan, not to mention that both An Yexing and An Hua are eager for you to be killed.

They will surely use the excuse of cleaning out the intruders to eliminate you.

So you must not go."

Heiye Wuguang told Ling Xiao some information, then warned him.

"You mean to tell me to hide like a turtle and watch as my sister gets insulted and then killed?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"This is all you can do now, because you are too weak. You lack the ability to fight against them.

Just take this as a lesson, and remember not to easily provoke those more powerful than you in the future."

Heiye Wuguang added.

"Provoke? What has my sister done to provoke the Sword Clan? What have I done to provoke them? If they say jump and we comply, does that mean we’re not provoking them?

What a joke!"

Ling Xiao looked at Heiye Wuguang and said, "I used to think well of you, thought you were a bit domineering and foolish, but you had courage.

But now I’m really disappointed. You’re nothing but a coward, a person who only knows how to boast!

Go away.

I didn’t recognize you as my foster father, and it seems I was right. Instead, Heiye Wuxing truly deserves to be my foster father.

If he were still at Eight Immortals Mountain, he would help me without hesitation."

After speaking, Ling Xiao ignored Heiye Wuguang and focused on cultivation with his eyes closed.

He had not wasted the last few days.

Besides crafting Array Refining Stone formations, he had not stopped cultivating.

During the process of helping Shen Dian refine the Sword Soul Stone, he gained many benefits.

His cultivation level was already at the brink of breakthrough.

He wanted to break through to the Third Layer of Yin-Yang Peak before heading to the Sword Clan.

"Stubborn fool!"

Heiye Wuguang flipped his sleeve and left.

Ling Xiao didn’t spare him another glance.

On the last day, early in the morning, Lin Ruoxian arrived at Ling Xiao’s courtyard.

"Let’s go."

He glanced at Lin Ruoxian, then took Lin Yang, Green Phoenix, and the four others to the Sword Clan.

Feng Ru and En Renfeng had weaker strengths, and would only be burdensome if they went.

So, they were left at the courtyard to guard the house.

About ten minutes later, Ling Xiao and others arrived outside the Sword Clan Courtyard.

Today, the Sword Clan was bustling with people, decorated with lanterns, a lively scene indeed.

Even the Sword Clan guards were wearing red, looking festive.

They stood at the entrance of the Sword Clan Courtyard, only those with an invitation could enter and attend this not-so-honorable wedding.

"Sorry, you don’t have an invitation, leave immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude!"

Of course, Ling Xiao wouldn’t have an invitation.

The Sword Clan didn’t take him seriously at all, how could they give him an invitation?

Moreover, this wedding was inherently insidious and nauseating.

They were worried Ling Xiao would cause trouble.

"This is outrageous; he is Ling Jiaojiao’s brother, the only relative she has on Eight Immortals Mountain. How can her one relative not be allowed into her wedding? What kind of rule is this?"

Lin Yang couldn’t help but curse.

"Humph, we don’t care about that. The clan leader ordered that no one without an invitation is allowed in."

The guard showed no respect, still speaking coldly.

"What if we insist on going in?"

Lin Ruoxian asked coldly.

She knew very well that Ling Xiao could not go back today. He came here to rescue Ling Jiaojiao, so how could they not enter?

"Miss Lin, you are the future successor of the She Clan, why mix with these people? As far as I know, you should have an invitation, you can go in, but they cannot!"

The guard pointed at Ling Xiao, Lin Yang, and Green Phoenix.

Lin Ruoxian was about to speak when she suddenly felt a surge of killing intent.

Before she could say anything, those guards were already blasted away.

Though not dead, it was impossible for them to stop them.

"Sister Ruo Xian, you’re being too polite here; we’re here to cause trouble today, no need for formality."

The one who acted was Ling Xiao, and the speaker was Ling Xiao as well.

Arguing with these guards would be meaningless.

Lin Ruoxian smiled bitterly, helplessly, and followed Ling Xiao into the courtyard.

Once in the courtyard, there wasn’t much issue; as there were many guests, they blended into the crowd, becoming somewhat inconspicuous.

Even if discovered, they wouldn’t act easily. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After all, with so many guests, the Sword Clan couldn’t afford such a disgrace.

When they were seated, Jian Liufeng of the Sword Clan had already recognized Ling Xiao.

Jian Liufeng was wearing the bridegroom’s attire, looking quite impressive.

Yet, who would know that beneath this impressive appearance lies a heart of a beast?

Those harsh words describe him well — a beast in human attire was precisely used to describe such people.

"What’s wrong, Liufeng?"

The one asking was Jian Liufeng’s brother, Jian Mofeng.

Though the elder brother, Jian Mofeng’s strength was far inferior to Jian Liufeng, only having the cultivation of Third Layer of Yin-Yang Peak.

However, Ling Xiao felt that this person was stronger than Sha Diao and Sha Ying of the same cultivation.

If from the Third Layer of Yin-Yang Peak to the early Fourth Layer could be divided into ten stages, then Sha Diao and Sha Ying were merely at the first stage.

This Jian Mofeng had already stepped into the fifth stage, while An Feitian had reached the ninth stage.

"Ling Xiao is here, he might mess things up."

Jian Liufeng replied.

"Liufeng, you overestimate him. With his pitiful strength, what can he do? If he doesn’t make trouble, that’s great; if he does, we’ll kill him on the spot, so no one dares to act rashly in the future."

Jian Mofeng said coolly, "I’m worried about Lin Ruoxian; she’s not easy to deal with, you might need to handle her personally, brother."

"Better to be cautious; I heard this person once caused a ruckus at An Ming’s chamber. You should understand how terrifying An Ming’s strength is, even then An Hua Elder and An Yexing Clan Leader were present, yet they couldn’t stop him.

He seems to be quite clever, so definitely don’t underestimate him. If we do, it’s our trouble."

Jian Liufeng stated.

"Fine, then I’ll send ’Ling You’ to kill him mysteriously; he might not even know who struck him."

Jian Mofeng chuckled coldly.

"I’ll leave it all to you, brother."

Jian Liufeng retracted his gaze.

He wasn’t very concerned about Ling Xiao; even when he first met, he didn’t bother to give a glance.

But now, he had grown into one of the most promising disciples at Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.

Truly gifted.
