Chapter 103: Ambush
The next day, Xiao Ling came to the city alone, and in his hand was holding a six-grade Thousand Spirit Grass.
Although yesterday he exchanged the seven-grade blood vine green for four hundred amethyst coins, but three hundred amethyst coins were used to buy the mansion, plus the expenses of everyone along the way, there were not many four hundred amethyst coins left at this time.
Of course, the remaining amethyst coins are enough to last for a while, but if you want to buy a store, it is far from enough to run a business.
Therefore, early this morning, Xiao Ling took a thousand spirit grass and prepared to sell it.
However, Xiao Ling did not go to the auction house yesterday, but came to another auction house in the west area of Muyan City.
In Xiao Ling's mind, the main reason for doing this was to avoid attracting the attention of others. If you come out with different precious spirit grasses for two days in a row, you will inevitably attract the attention of others.
It's just that what Xiao Ling didn't know was that yesterday he had been noticed by someone in the Yufeng Auction House, including the conflict between him and the people in Juyi Pavilion in Piaoxiang Mansion later, and the purchase of a mansion in the West District for three hundred amethyst coins, all of which had already been known by several people.
Even at this moment, Xiao Ling's move of coming to the Western District and exchanging a Thousand Spirit Grass for nearly three hundred amethyst coins also fell into the eyes of several forces.
In fact, it is not to blame Xiao Ling for being negligent and not realizing that he has been targeted, after all, those forces have been entrenched in Muyan City for many years, and their subordinates have already infiltrated all over Muyan City, maybe in your opinion, the street vendor who is enthusiastically shouting, his true identity is the disciple of which force.
In the face of such an all-pervasive stalking, even a genius like Ling Xiao would not be able to notice it.
Moreover, with Ling Xiao's identity and status, he has always acted uprightly, and he is also not afraid of some villains playing tricks behind his back, and with the status of Wuji Immortal Palace in the Tian Yuan Continent, I am afraid that no one has dared to make some small moves behind his back to assassinate Ling Xiao, the young palace master.
Putting the money in exchange for it into her arms, Xiao Ling walked leisurely in a spacious alley.
It's just that after taking a few steps, Ling Xiao had already noticed the abnormalities around him, and immediately reminded him: "The situation is a little wrong, it seems that someone is targeting." ”
When Xiao Ling heard this, she was shocked, her footsteps suddenly stopped, her eyes carefully swept around, and sure enough, something was wrong as Ling Xiao said.
Muyan City is very similar to the Sea City, it is a commercial capital, and there are a large number of merchants in each city, making the entire Muyan City seem quite prosperous.
It was still noon, and the streets at this time should be bustling with activity, but at the moment it was very deserted, except for a few stalls, there was no one.
Observing those hawkers casually, Xiao Ling's expression was solemn, although these hawkers deliberately hidden, Xiao Ling was still keenly aware of the subtle aura on these people.
"Who the hell is it that actually sent five golden Xuanwu people and one jade Xuanwu person, but they look up to me. Xiao Ling sneered and whispered.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he said lightly: "These people are just superficial powers, and there are still some hidden breaths in the shadows, two of which are not weak, at least there are also cultivators in the Jade Xuan Realm." ”
After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Xiao Ling put away his contempt, not because he was afraid of the two jade Xuanwu people who were secretly hidden, what he was most puzzled about at the moment was what the origin of these people was, and why they were targeting him?
Could it be that someone from the Qin family discovered them?
It seems impossible, they have only appeared in this Muyan City for a day, not to mention the Qin family in the Tianlong Empire, I am afraid that even few people in Muyan City know their origins.
But apart from the Qin family, Xiao Ling didn't seem to have offended anyone? Could it be the force behind the group of people in Piaoxianglou that day?
Xiao Ling thought quickly in his mind, but the hawkers in front of him seemed to see that Xiao Ling had noticed their existence, glanced at each other, and then violently pushed away the stall in front of him, and the five golden martial artists immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards Xiao Ling.
And the jade Xuanwu man was staring at Xiao Ling with his eyes, ready to wait for an opportunity at any time.
Seeing these people make a move, Xiao Ling smiled coldly, his eyes lit up, and the Shadow Dance Sword appeared in his hand.
"Who are you?" Xiao Ling's expression was indifferent, and there was no nervousness in his tone.
With only five golden Xuanwu and one jade Xuanwu, with Xiao Ling's current strength, there is naturally no reason to be afraid, even if the two Jade Xuanwu men hidden in the shadows join forces, even if he can't be defeated, it is not a problem to retreat with his whole body.
It's just that Xiao Ling didn't want to leave so easily, he also wanted to figure out why these people came.
However, what answered Xiao Ling was five cold and murderous swords.
Xiao Ling knew that if he didn't teach these guys a lesson, these people wouldn't be honest, and without thinking about it, the Shadow Dance Sword suddenly stretched out, and a thunderous sound broke out instantly, and the Shadow Dance Sword in Xiao Ling's hand suddenly turned into a purple thunderbolt, mixed with a fierce cyclone, and instantly came to the five people.
There was a crisp sound of weapons handing over, and then the five people only felt a shock to their bodies, and before they could see what was going on, they were actually sent out.
Half of the sword that was originally held in his hand was already halfway left, and the clothes on several people were actually cut to the hole, and blood was constantly oozing out from the clothes.
Xiao Ling's sword just now was fast and ruthless, if he hadn't wanted to find out the news from these people's mouths, he would have killed these five people with a sword just now.
With his current cultivation in the realm of the earth, how could the five golden Xuanwu warriors be his enemies.
The five Golden Xuanwu Warriors obviously didn't expect Xiao Ling to be so strong, and they could easily disintegrate them with a single blow with just one sword, and at the same time, they were seriously injured, and the weapons in their hands were also broken.
A trace of inexplicable horror flashed in the eyes of the five people, Xiao Ling's understatement blow just now not only cut off their weapons, but also left an indelible look of horror in their hearts.
The jade Xuanwu man behind him was shocked to see that his five subordinates were not the enemies of the young man.
"What is the origin of this person, how can he be so good at such a young age?" The jade Xuanwu man's face was solemn, and he secretly pondered in his heart.
With a slight flick of the Shadow Dancing Sword, Xiao Ling looked at the embarrassed few people, and then sneered and said, "Now tell me, what are you looking for me to do?"
"This kid actually injured five Jin Xuanwu with a sword, and this time the Tibetan Sword Gate has encountered a hard stubble. A middle-aged man hiding in the shadows said with some schadenfreude.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a strong suit and had a gentle face, and at first glance, no one could have imagined that his identity was Wan Chengdong, one of the two great generals of the Underworld Fire Sect.
As one of the two major forces in Muyan City, the Hellfire Sect has a total of three Earth Xuanwu Warriors in the sect, among which Ding Hong, as the sect master, has reached the middle stage of the Earth Xuan, and the only one who can compete with him in the entire Muyan City is Zhong Han, the pavilion director of Tianshui Pavilion.
And the status of these two people in Muyan City is unmatched, and almost all the major families in the city are attached to these two major sects. Of course, although these two sects were the biggest forces in Mu Yancheng on the surface, even Ding Hong and Guan Zhonghan knew in their hearts that their strength was nothing in front of the real first-class forces, let alone the supreme temple that was high above.
Here, even a three-year-old child understands that the true master of this land is the Supreme Temple, and even the Tianshui Pavilion, the Immortal Fire Sect, and the Tibetan Sword Gate, which later arose as the three unattainable behemoths in the eyes of ordinary people, are only one of the many forces attached to the Supreme Temple.
It's just that the status of the Supreme Temple is transcendent, and even the royal family of the Lingyun Empire doesn't dare to provoke it easily, so a small Mu Yan City, the Supreme Temple doesn't have any intention to manage.
It is also because of this understanding that the three major forces that belong to the same Supreme Temple have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, constantly dividing up the benefits.
And although they hate each other to the core, the three major forces have never really fought each other, and all this is just because the four words of the Supreme Temple are intimidating them.
It can be seen from this that the status of the Supreme Temple in the Lingyun Empire is not comparable to the royal family at all.
"Big brother, those people from the Hidden Sword Sect are obviously not the opponents of that young man, should we make a move next?" asked one of Wan Chengdong's subordinates.
Wan Chengdong's eyes swept around, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, obviously this kid named Xiao Ling is very beyond our estimates, don't do it for the time being until you investigate it clearly." I believe that the Tianshui Pavilion will also be paying attention, if we make a move, even if we can capture that kid, but the group of guys in the Tianshui Pavilion will definitely not let us go easily, and my Hellfire Sect doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others. ”
After a pause, Wan Chengdong continued: "As for the people from the Tibetan Sword Sect, if they die, they will die, that Ye Lou's surname is arrogant, and he doesn't take my Hellfire Sect in his eyes at all, that Gu Shiyang is Ye Lou's right-hand man, what does his life and death have to do with my Hellfire Sect." ”
While the Hellfire Sect was talking, the Gu Shiyang in Wan Chengdong's mouth, that is, the only jade Xuanwu who was standing in front of Xiao Ling, was in a cold sweat at the moment.
He couldn't imagine that Xiao Ling's cultivation in front of him was so terrifying, after his five subordinates were defeated, Gu Shiyang knew that he was by no means Xiao Ling's opponent, although he was very shocked in his heart, Gu Shiyang's first reaction was to turn around and leave.
Just kidding, defeating five Jin Xuanwu in one move, Gu Shiyang is conceited, and he will never think that he can do it like Xiao Ling.
However, just as he made a move, he found that he was locked by Xiao Ling in front of him with his breath.
That sharp gaze locked on him, Gu Shiyang had reason to believe that as long as he dared to act rashly, Xiao Ling would definitely shoot him to death without hesitation in the next moment.
