Chapter 2564: Chapter 2567: Visitors from the Imperial Capital, the Fierce Battle Begins!

"He’s here! That Demon Head has truly come!"

As Ling Xiao and the Little Demoness appeared in the distant sky, countless people exclaimed.

Perhaps in their eyes, anyone who dares to oppose the three major powers must be a Demon Head.

It sounds like nothing, but if you think about it carefully, this guy is about to go up against the most powerful three forces of Eight Immortals County.

And this enemy even includes the Thirteenth Prince.

The leaders of the three major powers are the top experts of Eight Immortals County City. Can this young man, not even twenty years old, really do it?

Countless people were staring intently at this person.

This man could become a joke.

Or he might become a legend.

"To earn such attention from the three major powers, he must have some special qualities. Even if he dies here today, it will become a legend.

If he wins, he will truly become a myth!"

Among the spectators, there were surprisingly many who supported Ling Xiao.

Perhaps they have been oppressed by the three major forces for too long. They really need someone like him to challenge authority.

The people from the three major forces eyed Ling Xiao with cold and angry glances.

Of course, some supported Ling Xiao, but they weren’t present at the scene, instead helping him with grand plans to shake the heavens.

"Only two? Does he intend to go two against three?"

Lin Quan stood up.

At this moment, he couldn’t remain calm.

Over the past few days, not a day passed without him thinking about how to eliminate Ling Xiao.

Today, the opportunity finally arrived.

"If he really only brought one person, how should we allocate?"

Chen Changsheng asked.

"I’ll deal with Ling Xiao, and the two of you kill that young girl. That girl’s strength is probably much greater than Ling Xiao’s, so be careful.

Don’t forget, she’s not an ordinary girl; she’s the one who severed the Thirteenth Prince’s arm with one move!"

Lin Quan said.

"Alright, let’s do as you say. Quickly kill Ling Xiao, and then the three of us will take down that girl together."

Chen Changsheng, though he also wanted to personally kill Ling Xiao, knew this wasn’t the time to compete over it.

"I agree too!"

Duke Yates also nodded.

The three reached an agreement.

They stood proudly suspended in the sky.

Ling Xiao looked down at the entire land.

The gazes of tens of thousands of people were all focused on him.

Though he was used to such situations and was not particularly surprised.

However, thinking carefully about today, to be able to completely surpass everyone in Eight Immortals County City.

He had experienced many life and death trials for this day.

Several times, he almost didn’t make it.

Now, he had finally reached the last step.

In this step, he would utterly defeat the three major powers, imprinting the name Ling Xiao on Eight Immortals County City.

The reason for making such a big scene was to inform the Secret Realm Academy far in the Imperial Capital.

About how strong Ling Xiao’s power is.

If they recruit him as a disciple, it will only benefit the Secret Realm Academy, with no downside.

He believed everyone has a desire for talent, especially those princes vying for the throne.

Among the crowd, inside an inconspicuous carriage.

A man and a woman sat, watching Ling Xiao in the sky.

The man was gentle and elegant, the woman beautiful and poised.

Both exuded a light of intelligence and wisdom.

"Minger, what do you think?"

The man suddenly asked.

"Your Highness, at first I didn’t quite understand why you traveled such a long distance to this rural place, but seeing Ling Xiao today, I understand."

The woman smiled.

Her name was Hong Minger, but she was not the prince’s woman; she was a strategist!

A keen woman with ruthless tactics!

"Outside, don’t address me as Your Highness, just call me Canglan."

This man speaking was the Second Prince of Chen, Chen Canglan!

A wise prince renowned for his wisdom, he had a considerable reputation in the Chen Dynasty.

"I dare not; let me address you as Young Master instead."

Hong Minger smiled.

"Very well, then tell me why coming here was the right move?"

The Second Prince Chen Canglan asked with a smile.

"This Ling Xiao is no ordinary martial artist. If you can recruit him, he will surely become a major asset to you, Young Master.

The Thirteenth Prince was too reckless. As soon as he arrived in Eight Immortals County City, he wanted to give Ling Xiao a warning, but ended up making an enemy of him.

Your wisdom prevails, Young Master."

Hong Minger replied.

"But this Ling Xiao is not just any ordinary being, typical recruitment strategies won’t be enough to win him over."

Chen Canglan still wore a smile.

"We cannot subdue him, we can only befriend him!"

Hong Minger shook her head. "You must have thought this too, Young Master. A person like him, no matter how many benefits you offer, will not be willing to live under someone’s shadow. The best strategy is to befriend him.

If you become friends, then when you’re in need, he will certainly help."

"Hahaha, great minds think alike. That fool Thirteen made a mess of things this time, trying to compete with me and Fourteen with his cultivation level and strategy is simply suicidal."

Chen Canglan laughed heartily, having settled his plan: "Today, Ling Xiao might encounter trouble, so when it’s time to act, act and make him owe us a favor."

"Understood, Minger has already set it up."

Hong Minger smiled.

The two said no more, continuing to look out the window.

They were quite interested in how Ling Xiao would battle the three sect leaders.

Ling Xiao turned his gaze to the three sect leaders, smiling faintly: "The three of you don’t seem afraid.

But before the duel, I have one question to ask—do you not intend to hand over the three Secret Realm Academy’s disciple slots?"

"Enough talk, if you have the ability, defeat the three of us, then those three slots will naturally be yours."

Lin Quan said angrily.

"Fine, have some backbone, but sadly, backbone is worthless right now. Since you three are incorrigible, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Ling Xiao sneered, his eyes casually drifting towards the carriage in the crowd.

"Such a strong aura, though it’s clearly concealed, it still couldn’t escape my Tai Chi Eye. Friend or foe?

For now, it seems non-hostile."

Ling Xiao furrowed his brow, then relaxed it. Whether that carriage held a friend or foe, it didn’t matter.

Since he dared to come here today, he wasn’t afraid if the other side called for reinforcements.

"Impressive boy, he seems to have sensed us."

Chen Canglan was also a bit surprised, having cultivated a special martial art to almost completely mask his aura.

Yet Ling Xiao still noticed some of it.

But he believed Ling Xiao hadn’t seen through everything.

"This just proves he is worth cultivating. If you, Young Master, befriends him, he will surely become a sharp blade for you!"

Hong Minger smiled.

"Indeed."

Chen Canglan nodded, gaining more anticipation for Ling Xiao.

Old Thirteenth had offended Ling Xiao.

Old Fourteenth disdained Ling Xiao.

This really worked in his favor.
