Chapter 2478: Chapter 2481: Bewitching Intoxication: A Secret Technique That Can Control People

In that moment, Ling Xiao mistakenly believed he saw the woman of his dreams.

But in an instant, his heart turned cold.

No matter how perfect a woman’s disguise, it cannot hide the ugliness within.

From the nearly flawless exterior of this woman, he saw a hint of malicious black aura.

Others might not see it, but Ling Xiao, with his Tai Chi Eye, naturally could.

In that instant, he lost all interest in this woman.

"Where’s Dark Gold?"

He asked indifferently.

He trusted the guiding martial artist wasn’t lying and believed this woman was in cahoots with Dark Gold.

"I’ve heard Young Master Ling is not close to women and is extraordinarily mighty. Today, seeing you, it is indeed true.

How about sharing some drinks with Qing Ling here and chatting a bit? Why bring up that smelly man, Dark Gold?"

Qing Ling said with a smile.

"Of course!"

Ling Xiao chuckled internally, wondering what this fox demon was up to.

Though unaware of what method Dark Gold used to hide, managing to evade his soul search.

But what of it?

Might as well see what tricks this bunch planned to use against him.

He was skilled and courageous, knowing others plotted against him but not caring one bit.

Sitting directly beside the stone table, he picked up the fine wine and drank.

The wine tasted exquisite.

Ling Xiao wasn’t particularly fond of drinking, yet this wine was truly captivating.

"Young Master enjoys the wine, let Qing Ling dance for you!"

Qing Ling smiled before beginning her graceful dance without waiting for Ling Xiao’s response.

In that moment, Ling Xiao felt his body suddenly become immobile, as if trapped by something.

"What’s going on?"

Ling Xiao asked, appearing tense.

"Hehe, pardon me, Young Master Ling. Heiye Wuxing’s recent actions angered Young Sect Master.

So he ordered Qing Ling to cooperate with Young Master Dark Gold to kill you."

Qing Ling giggled, "Perhaps the young master hasn’t heard of a secret technique called ’Bewitching Intoxication’? Luckily, Qing Ling knows it.

As long as you approach within a ten-meter radius, you cannot escape, and everything about you falls under my control."

"What do you really intend to do?"

Ling Xiao frowned and asked.

"You will know soon enough."

Qing Ling smiled enticingly, and Ling Xiao suddenly felt himself involuntarily lunging forward.

"Riiiip!"

The sound of clothes tearing could be heard.

Qing Ling controlled Ling Xiao to tear off his outer garment.

Then she suddenly shouted, "Help!"

It was at this moment that Dark Gold and others hiding finally jumped out.

"Audacious Ling Xiao, how dare you flirt with the Young Sect Master’s woman. You must be tired of living!"

Dark Gold said righteously to Ling Xiao, with a look resembling a cat playing with a mouse.

"Young Master Dark Gold, you came just in time. This intruder tried something with me."

Qing Ling hurriedly ran behind Dark Gold, pretending to be frightened.

Ling Xiao understood everything then.

This setup, though clichéd, was very effective.

Because regardless of whether Ling Xiao did it, as long as others believe it, he cannot escape blame.

Truly malicious.

"Little girl, do you know the consequences of framing me?"

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"Hehe, Qing Ling is so scared, afraid Young Master Dark Gold will take you directly to the clan elders for punishment soon.

Your life might as well be over."

Qing Ling laughed, appearing very pleased.

"Of course, you have another choice, which is to agree to a duel with me on the Life and Death Stage. If you win, you can clear your name."

Dark Gold added.

He wished to kill Ling Xiao in front of everyone to vent his anger.

To strike a blow against Heiye Wuxing.

Killing Ling Xiao here seemed too easy for him.

"Are you serious?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Of course, don’t tell me you now want to say your cultivation level is far below mine?"

Dark Gold sneered, "You’re nothing but a prisoner now, lacking the right to refuse."

"Alright, I accept your challenge on the Life and Death Stage."

Ling Xiao’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Since Dark Gold sought death, it was a perfect chance to try the power of the newly acquired Dark Immortal Sword.

"You agreed?"

Dark Gold was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Looks like you have no other choice. Miss Qing Ling, release him. I will avenge you.

On the Life and Death Stage!"

They designed such a trap to force Ling Xiao to agree to a duel on the Life and Death Stage.

Actually, why bother with this waste of time?

If confronted directly, Ling Xiao would have agreed anyway.

"Young Master Dark Gold should be careful. Didn’t Ling Xiao get the Shadow Black Gourd? And it’s been ten days; aren’t you afraid he’s realized something from it?"

Qing Ling laughed sweetly.

She held no grudge against Ling Xiao but followed Young Sect Master Lin Yuetian’s orders. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She had no opinion on how Dark Gold would kill Ling Xiao, just casually reminding him.

"Fear not, Miss Qing Ling. My sister An Ming took eighteen days to comprehend the Shadow Black Gourd successfully.

Heiye Wuzun took twenty days.

I never comprehended it, so I chose other martial arts from the Shadow Black Gourd.

Do you believe Ling Xiao has that capability?"

Dark Gold said dismissively.

He considered now the best time to deal with Ling Xiao. If missed, future attempts might not be so easy.

"Take him to the Life and Death Stage!"

Dark Gold cast a cold glance at Ling Xiao and told those beside him.

He brought so many people in fear of Ling Xiao resisting.

Surprised that Qing Ling’s Bewitching Intoxication was so effective, Ling Xiao fell for it directly, saving trouble now.

"No need, I can walk by myself."

Ling Xiao suddenly rose from the ground, cast a contemptuous look at Qing Ling, "Don’t think being the Young Sect Master’s woman means I wouldn’t dare kill you. Bewitching Intoxication is nothing before me.

If there’s a next time, I will surely end your dirty life, beautiful on the outside, hideous inside!"

"How dare you insult me?"

Qing Ling hated people calling her ugly.

She suddenly cast Bewitching Intoxication again, trying to control Ling Xiao.

However, a wolf shadow flashed, and Ling Xiao already charged at her.

If not for Dark Gold’s interference, Qing Ling might have met disaster.

"Your Wolf Travel Thousand Miles might be threatening to An Feitian, but it means nothing here. Save your strength for the stage battle."

Dark Gold dismissed Ling Xiao.

This repulsion boosted his confidence for the stage duel.

Unbeknownst to him, Ling Xiao’s actions were all mere distractions.

Now Qing Ling was somewhat rattled.

Though not weak in cultivation, her full efforts were dedicated to Bewitching Intoxication.

Except for Young Sect Master Lin Yuetian, she hadn’t encountered anyone capable of resisting it.
