"Young Master Ling Xiao... do you know this girl?"
Su Yan, who had been about to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Ling Xiao with a playful expression.
"From her look, it seems she has suffered a great grievance."
"Uh, if I said I don't know her, would you believe me?"
Ling Xiao shook his head with a smile, stepped forward, and stood at the front of the crowd.
"Who are you?"
"What business is it of you who I am? So you're that Ling Clan heir, Ling Xiao?"
The black-skirted girl snorted coldly. A cold light flowed in her beautiful eyes, and endless divine splendor bloomed on the black spear in her hand.
Blood Shadow Dao Principle, mid Breakthrough Realm, 2500 Luck Points.
Another one.
Let me guess, judging by this girl's age, she should be around fifteen or sixteen.
Ling Xiao has offended many people, but there are only a few Sons of Fate.
Anyone connected to a Daughter of Fate definitely isn't an ordinary side character.
Otherwise, that certain Yin individual would be a cautionary tale.
Among the Sons of Fate, Lin Xi is one, Xia Chen is another.
But Xia Chen is the template of a powerful possessor. He might have unresolved romantic ties, but sisters or the like, even if he had them, aren't in this realm.
Then the answer is obvious.
This black-skirted girl is probably the one Lin Xi mentioned before... his younger sister who has been missing for seven years.
Interesting. Especially this Blood Shadow Dao Principle further confirms some of my previous guesses.
This girl probably practices assassination techniques, right?
Otherwise, how could someone so young have such a strong smell of blood on her?
And in the entire Sacred State, which factions specialize in the path of killing?
Heh.
The Blood Soul Sacred Hall, truly cruel and unprincipled.
Slaughtering a family, just to recruit the survivor?
"Correct, I am that Ling Clan heir, Ling Xiao!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, not seeming to take the girl seriously in the slightest.
But since she was Lin Xi's sister, Ling Xiao didn't plan to let her off easily either.
However... although this girl is also a loli, she's different from Bai Zhixi.
Bai Zhixi is proud and stubborn, while this girl is clearly a willful and spoiled little vixen.
Playing with her will definitely be fun.
"Good that it's you! Saves me from killing the wrong person!"
The black-skirted girl snorted coldly. Blood light immediately surged magnificently around her delicate body.
In the span of a single breath, it actually transformed into a sky-obscuring sea of blood, sweeping towards Ling Xiao.
"Bai Ling!!!"
In the crowd, Lin Xi gritted his teeth tightly, his entire body trembling slightly from excitement.
He never dreamed that on the very first day the secret realm opened, he would encounter his younger sister, who had been missing for seven years!
Moreover, judging by her appearance, she was clearly targeting Ling Xiao.
She must be... anxious to avenge me and wipe away my shame, right?
Suddenly, tears welled up in Lin Xi's eyes.
Even though during this period, I've experienced betrayal from my lover and my master, my sister!!
Still loves me as always!!
But...
Little sister, where have you been all these years?
You probably haven't been in the Eastern Jiang, right?
If you want to vent my anger for me, you should at least discuss it with me first!
Ling Xiao is vicious and cruel. Charging up like this, aren't you just deliberately feeding yourself to him?
At this moment, Lin Xi was torn.
Should I step forward and stop Bai Ling, or... wait and see a bit longer?
In the end, Lin Xi lowered his eyes. Forget it.
With my current strength, even if I charge forward now, it would be utterly useless.
If I expose my identity, it would probably be a double kill.
And although Bai Ling is younger, her aura is already at the mid Breakthrough Realm. Moreover, that bloody spiritual light faintly carries a hint of the true meaning of the Great Dao.
Perhaps...
Runes flickered brightly and dimly in the sky, with blood energy faintly pressing down for a hundred li.
The black spear in Bai Ling's hand transformed into a ferocious blood dragon, descending towards Ling Xiao's head.
An overwhelming, domineering aura instantly swept across the entire heaven and earth.
The sound of Dao Principles resounded thunderously, even the heavens and earth seemed to shunder under this spear.
Bai Ling's small body, holding a hundred-zhang spear radiance—this scene was like a god or demon descending to the world, shocking to the heart!
"Holy crap!! This little girl is a bit badass!"
"A bit? She's seriously badass!!"
"This spear strike... even an ordinary Divine General would find it hard to withstand, right?"
Countless prodigies raised their heads, looking at the terrifying spear shadow tearing through the sky. Their eyes held awe from the depths of their hearts.
Although!
They didn't know Bai Ling's origins, this single spear strike was enough to make them feel reverence.
Indeed, cute things aren't necessarily harmless!
The deceptive nature of appearances makes it easier to let one's guard down!
"Hmm? You are indeed a bit stronger than your useless older brother."
The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth lifted slightly, but not a trace of panic showed on his face. He just calmly extended two fingers and gently drew a line in the air.
"It's here! It's here!!"
"They say Young Master Ling Xiao's sword finger is invincibly fast, capable of slaying heavens and killing earth!!"
"Is this the legendary... golden finger?"
Boom!
For a moment, the world seemed to darken.
The sharp sword scar collided violently with the spear radiance, crushing the void into pieces.
Divine mountains trembled, ancient trees were sent flying, and even the ground beneath everyone's feet began to crack with countless fissures.
However!
No matter how strong Bai Ling was, how could she possibly be a match for Ling Xiao?
Amidst the sky full of spear radiance, a flash of clear light seemed to appear!
Immediately after, everyone stared dumbfounded as that small figure suddenly flew backward, blood seemingly trickling from her mouth.
"Bai Ling!!!"
Lin Xi clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he didn't dare to step forward.
Or perhaps, his Dao Heart had long been shattered by Ling Xiao.
Now, he didn't even have the courage to face him, let alone summon the ambition to compete.
As for Bai Ling...
Little sister, I'm sorry, your brother isn't strong enough yet!
But don't worry, one day, I will repay Ling Xiao double for the humiliation he has given us!!
"Holy crap... Young Master Ling Xiao... is just too strong, isn't he?"
"That sword finger... probably no one present can match it, right?"
Everyone looked at the black-clothed girl with her weakened aura, the fear in their eyes growing more intense.
Bai Ling alone was shocking enough!
But Ling Xiao only needed to flick two fingers to shatter her heaven-shaking spear strike.
Peerless immortal demeanor! Young overlord!
In the entire Eastern Jiang, who is worthy of being the Young Master's enemy?
"Hmph! I didn't expect you to be quite strong! I'll remember you!"
But to everyone's surprise, the black-clothed girl didn't show the slightest bit of dejection. Instead, she glanced at Ling Xiao with great interest before turning and disappearing into the void.
"You just wait. From now on, I will be coming for your dog life every moment!"
"She's... leaving just like that?"
Everyone was stunned, especially Lin Xi, who stared blankly at the direction where Bai Ling had disappeared.
What the-?
Little sister, why... did you leave so suddenly?
I didn't even have time to reunite with you!
This secret realm is so vast, where do you expect me to find you?
I can't just drop my disguise and shout everywhere that I'm Lin Xi, can I?
If he did that, he'd probably get his head blown off before he even found his sister.
Lin Xi's enemies now weren't just Ling Xiao; there was also that despicable, shameless Xia Chen and Su Yan, who wanted the spirit flame on him!
Dammit!
Quite suddenly, Lin Xi felt that his fate didn't seem as smooth and fortunate as before.
It seemed... a bit more tortuous.
