Chapter 2437: Chapter 2440: Displaying Strength: Seizing the Courtyard at Midnight

Ling Xiao chose to leave quickly instead of causing massacres everywhere; the key reason is that the Shen Dian’s battle time is too short.

If he loses his mind amidst success, the one suffering at the end would surely be himself.

This is good enough for now.

Letting the enemy remain unsure of who is behind him ensures they won’t dare to recklessly attack him or his friends.

"Brother, why didn’t you make a move just now?"

An Hua asked very dissatisfiedly.

"Make a move? Didn’t you notice? That kid seems to have someone’s help from a higher realm! We must investigate first before making any decisions."

An Yexing shook his head, saying: "I am the clan leader; I cannot afford to lose. If I lose, our An Family would lose its prestige; many people are waiting for us to make a laughingstock."

"It’s infuriating. If that kid doesn’t die, both of us would lose face. How are we supposed to kill him?"

An Hua said angrily.

"Isn’t that simple? He will participate in the Shadow Black Gourd contest. At that time, let Fei Tian handle him.

In these two days, let’s join forces to help Fei Tian break through!

As long as his cultivation breaks through to the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Fourth Layer of Hell, Fei Tian has a solid hold on killing that kid."

An Yexing said coldly.

"Alright, no problem!"

To kill Ling Xiao, An Hua truly dared to do anything now.

...

Near Ling Xiao’s wooden hut, Lin Fengyan was still waiting there.

Though she believed Ling Xiao was bound to die, she still wanted to wait for definite news.

Only by confirming Ling Xiao’s death would she truly feel at ease.

"Are you waiting for someone?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Lin Fengyan.

It startled her, she instinctively retreated to a distance.

However, a hand easily restrained her, with terrifying currents running rampant within her body.

Making her whole body powerless.

"Ling! Ling Xiao!"

Lin Fengyan saw the figure clearly, but she truly found it hard to believe Ling Xiao was still alive.

"Surprised to see me back?"

Ling Xiao asked coldly.

"No, it’s nothing. I don’t know you anyway."

Lin Fengyan shook her head and replied.

"Such lies are really meaningless."

Ling Xiao said blandly: "That note was from Su Mo, wasn’t it? I have to tell you some unfortunate news.

Su Mo is dead!

Killed by me!

Do you really think I didn’t know about your relationship with Su Mo? I just didn’t bother to make a move on you.

I can overlook the incident tonight, as your note helped me save my senior brother and senior sister.

But if I find you targeting me again in secret, don’t blame me for not being polite. Anyway, I’ve killed more than just one person."

After speaking, he threw Lin Fengyan directly to the ground and then turned back to the wooden hut.

Lin Fengyan lay on the ground, her face pale, her body trembling violently.

The fear Ling Xiao brought had been extremely severe; she even lost control of her bodily functions.

The terrifying killing intent seemed capable of completely shattering her soul.

"Devil! Really a devil!"

Lin Fengyan struggled up, staggered toward her wooden hut.

Only today did she realize this Ling Xiao, who hadn’t long been promoted to Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, was far more terrifying than she imagined.

Regarding Su Mo’s vendetta, she didn’t want to pursue it at all.

She didn’t wish to provoke this devil-like guy anymore.

Too terrifying, made her whole body tremble endlessly.

On the other side, Ling Xiao returned to the wooden hut, arranged En Renfeng and Feng Ru to cultivate together.

But this wooden hut now indeed looked a bit small.

Three people were fine, but five were somewhat cramped.

Ling Xiao thought about when he should just seize a courtyard instead.

After all, the Dark Clan’s rules were virtually nonexistent, those people felt they could bully him as long as they were strong.

Then why couldn’t he take over a courtyard?

"Let’s seize An Feiren’s. A waste like him, if not relying on his surname, how is he fit to have such an elegant residence?"

Besides, his actions now needed to be somewhat unyielding and arrogant, as only this way would people more readily believe he had a powerful backing.

This backing would allow him to be unrestrained in the Dark Clan. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With this thought, he revealed a cold smile and then set foot outside the wooden hut.

An Feiren, just returned from the banquet, under the maid’s care, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed to rest.

The large bed was enough for six or seven people to sleep, the bedding was also the best.

The courtyard also had strong guards for protection.

An Feiren’s daily life was indeed far better than Ling Xiao, a Branch Family Member.

"Snap!"

The secret technique lamp in the room that had originally been extinguished suddenly lit up again.

An Feiren was startled, opened his eyes and saw someone sitting there.

"Ling Xiao!"

He was startled, wanted to scream, but found his mouth covered by a black shadow, unable to make any sound.

"Better not make a sound, or you can go down to accompany Su Mo."

Ling Xiao’s voice was cold and eerie.

Then, he controlled the shadow to release An Feiren’s mouth.

Of course, An Feiren dared not make a sound, even hurriedly knelt on the ground, whispered: "Grandfather Lingxiao! Please spare me, tonight’s banquet, I was also invited to attend, I didn’t know they would do such things, it’s really not my business."

He thought Ling Xiao was looking for him to seek revenge.

In fact, tonight’s matter truly had nothing to do with him, if he was at fault, it was only because he shouldn’t have silently wished Ling Xiao would die.

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, today’s visit merely wants you to sign something and imprint a hand seal."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and placed a pre-prepared contract on the table, pulling An Feiren up to look.

"Heh, Grandfather, you should have said earlier, it’s just a courtyard; giving it to you, I’ll give it to you."

An Feiren felt relieved upon seeing the contract only required his courtyard.

Though this was cowardly, it was far better than losing his life.

He hurriedly signed, stamped his hand seal.

"Very good, tonight just hastily move out with your people, you need not leave a single maid or guard."

Ling Xiao stored the contract safely; this thing was evidence.

If someone comes to cause trouble, he’s not afraid.

"No problem, no problem, I’ll move immediately."

How dare An Feiren now object?

Whatever Ling Xiao said, he fully listened.

After all, he had only one life; losing it would be a huge loss.

"I’ll give you ten minutes, when I come over if I still see anyone, then I’ll kill without mercy."

After speaking, Ling Xiao turned and left.

An Feiren was filled with hatred but had no choice; he could only have people take away the most valuable stuff, leaving behind furniture or less valuable items as time didn’t permit moving them.

When Ling Xiao returned, indeed, no one was left in the courtyard.

"From today, everyone must choose a room to stay. That previous little wooden hut was too cramped."

Ling Xiao said to Qing Luan Hua, Lin Yang, Feng Ru, and En Renfeng.

"Junior Brother, Master Brother and I aren’t Upper Eight Immortals Mountain’s disciples. Can we live here?"

Feng Ru worriedly asked.
