Chapter 2881 - 2885: Sweeping Expert, Elder Fu?

"Ling Xiao, just you wait for me!"

A terrifying roar sounded above the ruins of the Yuanling Clan Tribe in the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm.

Despite using many meat shields, Li Xiaotian still had an arm crippled.

When he was filled with rage and wanted revenge, he found that Ling Xiao’s trail had long disappeared.

Ling Xiao naturally wouldn’t just sit and wait for death.

Just now, that blow was his attack unleashed with almost all the inner strength he had, and he originally planned to flee after the attack.

Anyway, after the attack, he was also unable to continue the fight.

It’s just a pity that such a strike merely crippled one of Li Xiaotian’s arms.

That guy’s return-to-origin technique should be able to recover it, right?

The so-called return to origin, Ling Xiao had also heard of it, it’s a very exquisite secret technique that allows the exchange of inner strength and vitality.

In other words, it can consume inner strength to heal injuries, the more severe the injury, the more inner strength it consumes.

It can also consume vitality to exchange for inner strength.

This kind of secret technique, although not as perverse as Life Retrospection, has the advantage of being usable at any time.

Ling Xiao thought, if he had the time, he must get his hands on this thing.

In case he runs out of pill reserves, it can still be of great use.

At this moment, he was already outside the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm.

After breaking the Illusion Array, this Imperial Extreme Secret Realm became like his backyard, allowing him to leave at will.

After leaving the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, he made a trip to Eight Immortals County City.

At his speed, it only took half an hour for a round trip.

He left Lia and his female guard there, while Tuo Ba Yun Xiang insisted on staying by Ling Xiao’s side.

His cultivation level wasn’t weak, and after transforming into a Magma Lion, his combat power was comparable to that of a Beast Monster at the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm’s Twelfth-Level Hell’s Peak.

Only slightly weaker than Xiao Jin.

Since he insisted on helping Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao didn’t hold back.

Before returning to Thunder City, Ling Xiao knew he would definitely encounter many enemies, and there were no experts around Seventh Prince Chen Cangmang.

Having one more person means having one more aid.

Before returning to Thunder City, Ling Xiao resumed his disguise as a middle-aged martial artist and found Seventh Prince Chen Cangmang and his group.

Chen Cangmang was certainly able to endure, having not appeared during this period and staying hidden under Xiao Jin’s protection.

"Sir!"

Seeing Ling Xiao return, Chen Cangmang was overjoyed.

He could sense a familiar aura from Ling Xiao but couldn’t guess who it was.

Ling Xiao didn’t tell him either.

Because the time wasn’t ripe yet.

"Now, we can return to Thunder City, and I will help you ascend to the position of the Great King of Chen Dynasty, but don’t forget your promise to me. If you fail to achieve it, don’t blame me."

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"Rest assured, sir. If you are fond of the people as your children, I naturally wish to assist. But if you are as incompetent as the current Royal Family, then even if it costs me my life, I will contend against you!"

Chen Cangmang said unyieldingly.

"Very well, let’s set out."

Since their goals were similar, there was no need to say more. The small group of over a dozen people set out once again, heading to the Chen Dynasty Capital.

Unlike the previous revenge action, this time Ling Xiao was much stronger than before.

His goal was to destroy the Chen Royal Family and extend the power of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire to the entire territory of Chen Dynasty.

Moreover, he suspected that the Chen Royal Family must have the You Spirit Remnant Soul, which was something he had to obtain.

To prevent being besieged and losing the opportunity to seize the You Spirit Remnant Soul, Ling Xiao planned to disguise and enter Thunder City with Chen Cangmang.

This way, there would be reasons not to be suspected when doing many things.

Chen Cangmang wanted to avenge his mother.

To investigate the cause of his mother’s death.

To overturn the case of the Ling Clan from back then.

And to fight for the throne.

All these would create enemies with others, giving Ling Xiao the reasons he needed to do what he wanted.

The moment Chen Cangmang and his group set foot in Thunder City, they were targeted by various forces.

Many people were very surprised that Chen Cangmang wasn’t dead.

But at this moment, Chen Cangmang had already entered Thunder City and the Royal City, making it unrealistic to assassinate him easily again.

Especially during the daytime, the Royal Family, for the sake of its dignity, wouldn’t allow a prince to die casually on the street.

Not to mention the previous event where Ling Xiao slaughtered noble martial artists; Thunder City’s defense was now ten times stronger than it was back then.

Even so, Chen Cangmang didn’t linger long and returned directly to his mansion.

"My prince, you have returned. This old servant has missed you dearly."

As soon as the group arrived at the gates of the Royal Mansion, an old man came out, hunched over and holding a broom, cleaning.

Others might not take a look at this old man, but Ling Xiao immediately perceived his unusualness.

"Unexpectedly, he’s a Hell Peak Martial Cultivator at the First Turn Yinyang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell’s Peak. I didn’t expect the Imperial Capital to be a haven of hidden talents. It’s really lucky that nothing happened the last time I was here.

It seems that back then, these true experts didn’t take me seriously, thus allowing me an opportunity."

Ling Xiao only glanced at that old man and then stopped looking, trying his best to restrain his own aura.

"Ah, it’s Elder Fu. I didn’t expect that after all these years, while others have left me, only you still treat me like this."

Chen Cangmang was delighted to see this old man, suddenly feeling a sense of security.

Others might not know, but Chen Cangmang was very clear that this old man was an incredibly strong person.

When he was very young, this old man was responsible for his protection, and later, when he was exiled to guard the borders, the old man always watched over his home.

"This old servant was once saved by the Princess Consort. It was she who entrusted your care to this old servant, naturally not daring to slack."

Elder Fu said, hunched over.

He then looked at Ling Xiao.

It seemed that he recognized everyone else, except for Ling Xiao, whose face was very unfamiliar.

"Oh, don’t worry, Elder Fu, this is Arthur Talbot. He saved my life outside Thunder City."

Chen Cangmang hastily explained.

"I see, where is this Arthur hero from?"

Elder Fu asked, staring at Ling Xiao.

Chen Cangmang suddenly felt a bit awkward, as Elder Fu’s words clearly cast doubt on Ling Xiao’s identity.

"Old sir, you need to understand something. I am not a subordinate of Chen Cangmang’s. I only have a deal with him, so there’s no need for me to tell you anything about myself, and you have no right to question it."

Ling Xiao raised his eyelids slightly. He had a deep sense of caution towards this old man.

Although it seemed like this old man had a very good relationship with Chen Cangmang, he felt something was not quite right.

Coupled with the old man’s unfriendly attitude, he wasn’t about to be courteous either.

"Elder Fu, Arthur, you are both my benefactors; could you give me some face?"

Chen Cangmang was caught in the middle, struggling to handle the situation.

He certainly didn’t want the two people he trusted to become enemies.
