The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 165

Chapter 165: Silencing Witnesses

Hearing this, even if the rest of the words were not voiced out, everyone there already understood.

What could he be referring to by saying de…? If not demons, what else could it be? Furthermore, recently the Tian Xin Sect and the other major forces had been like fire and water with the demons. The appearance of the Xing Luo Sect indeed looked a little strange.

As for that disciple from the Ji Le Sect with his sneak attack, he was likely a spy for the Xing Luo Sect.

The reason why he beheaded Mu Sheng before he could finish his words was because Mu Sheng purposely spoke in a very loud voice. Therefore, he was afraid that there would be people nearby. If they overheard it and informed the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect, the Xing Luo Sect would be in a very difficult position.

Therefore, to protect the grand scheme of the Xing Luo Sect, the disciples of the Xiao Yao Sect and Ji Le Sect had to die.

By the time the last Xiao Yao Sect’s disciple fell to the ground, the surrounding area was already flooded with the overpowering stench of blood. Every single corpse was beyond recognition.

At this moment, five men in black robes appeared next to those corpses.

The men in black robes were extremely tall. Over two meters, almost three meters tall. The towering Xing ShiYi instantly appeared very short and small in comparison.

The two sides exchanged a few words. The five men in black robes suddenly squatted down next to the corpses. One by one, dark hands stretched out from inside the black robes and latched onto one of the corpses before pulling them into their black robes, followed by crunching sounds. The sound of bones being gnawed could suddenly be heard. Bright red blood flowed out from beneath their feet and a newly severed arm suddenly fell out from inside one of the black robes…

“Blergh!!!” Someone threw up. This person was…

“Who’s there?!” Xing ShiYi’s face changed visibly. His sharp and piercing gaze was directed towards the direction of the sound of vomiting.

That direction was precisely where You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao were. The person who was throwing up was, of course, You XiaoMo. The five men in black robes eating corpses made him unable to stop himself from vomiting. He just got used to bloody scenes ‘after much difficulty’.

Xing ShiYi was not the only one who heard the sound. There were also the five men in black robes. They immediately stopped feeding, some of them simply tossing out half eaten corpses.

Some of the corpses had their top halves eaten, some had their bottom halves eaten, and some of them only had the four limbs remaining…

All sorts of horrible sights. Extremely bloody, exceedingly nauseating. The gleaming white intestines, brain spatter and the like. Everything was flowing out, and so…

“Blergh!!!” You XiaoMo couldn’t hold it in again. With an empty stomach, he threw up the acidic stomach juices.

The moment he made a sound, Xing ShiYi immediately figured out his exact position. Very quickly, he found You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao. Seeing that they had been discovered, Ling Xiao also didn’t intend to hide any longer. He carried You XiaoMo, who was vomiting non-stop, and placed him on one of the towering great vines.

This face of Ling Xiao’s, someone like Xing ShiYi was not unfamiliar with. One look and Xing ShiYi’s expression immediately changed, “Tian Xin Sect’s Lin Xiao?”

Saying that, his sharp eyes immediately locked onto their surroundings as if trying to see how many people were still hiding around them.

What surprised him was that other than the two of them, he didn’t discover anyone else. On the surface, it seemed as if there was only the two of them. However, Xing ShiYi didn’t immediately let his guard down, looking at Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo with a hundred percent vigilance mixed in with threads of ruthlessness.

Ling Xiao glanced at them in amusement. The Xing Luo Sect teaming up with demons? Really something he never expected.

But considering the actions of the Xing Luo Sect these few years, indeed there had been visible trails of spider webs and horses’ hooves. It was possible that the Xing Luo Sect had been working together with demons. Originally, he planned to pretend that he didn’t see anything. Unfortunately, if man proposes, god disposes.

Ling Xiao lowered his head and looked at You XiaoMo, who was still vomiting. He patted his back gently, “Xiao Shidi, are you alright?”

You XiaoMo didn’t answer his question, but a hand stretched out in front of him and tugged on his clothes. Did it look like he was alright? God in heaven, this was the first time he witnessed the monstrosity of people being eaten.

Of course, this was not the first time he witnessed such a bloody scene. It happened before on the green plains outside HunJi city, limbs covering the ground. That time, he felt the impact very strongly, but it happened rather quickly and there were no man-eating monsters.

Although he watched quite a few horror films in his previous life, some of them depicting man-eating zombies, those were all fiction, separated by a screen. In his heart, he knew that it was fake. When did he ever have the ‘pleasure’ of viewing it up close? Furthermore, it was a live version. The assault on his senses was not small. It was good enough that he didn’t throw up his whole stomach.

Ling Xiao beamed as he patted his back, “It’s good that you’re used to it.”

Get used to your sister! You XiaoMo rolled his eyes at him. Again, with those words.

“Tian Xin Sect’s prodigy Lin Xiao actually appearing here by himself? *ha ha ha* Take it that your luck is bad. Looks like there will be a great harvest today. After killing you, it would be as if the Tian Xin Sect had lost an arm. I believe Grand Master and Young Master will definitely be very pleased.”

After observing for a long time, Xing ShiYi was finally confident that other than the two of them, there were no other Tian Xin Sect’s disciples around. Only then did he laugh out loud, with a savage and wicked look on his face.

He seemed to be already picturing the reward the Grandmaster would give him.

It must be known that although the Tian Xin Sect’s Lin Xiao was only a two-star Star level practitioner, ‘he’ was only thirty years old, about the same as the Qing Cheng Sect’s Luo ShuHe. Very few people could reach Star level at this age, such as their Young Master, Xing TianXie.

Xing Luo Sect’s Young Master was already forty-one years old. His cultivation was two stars higher than Ling Xiao’s and Luo ShuHe’s.

However, when the Young Master was thirty years old, his cultivation was only one-star Star level. Although it was only lower than these two people by one star, the arrogant Young Master viewed it as humiliation. Therefore, he had always regarded them as enemies.

Their Grand Master also felt that if Lin Xiao and Luo ShuHe could mature, they would become Xing Luo Sect’s biggest obstacle one day in the future. Therefore, he had decreed long ago that during this opening of the Paradise Realm, if there was an opportunity, these two must be killed.

Xing ShiYi never expected that before he could go looking for them, one of them would present himself to him. Furthermore, there was only one person by Lin Xiao’s side. And was only a puny mage riding on his coattails. Wasn’t God doing him a favor?

“Xing ShiYi, I want Lin Xiao’s body.” At this time, one of the men in black robes suddenly opened his mouth. The demon’s voice was hoarse, like the sound of some rusty machinery that struggled to turn. A barely concealed excitement could be detected, as if Lin Xiao were already in his pocket.

Xing ShiYi roared with laughter while saying, “No problem. But I must bring his head back to our Young Master. He would definitely be very happy to learn that Lin Xiao is dead.”

“Then, are you going to do it, or shall I let my underling do it?” the black-robed man sniggered wickedly.

“Let me do it. A mere two-star Star levels. I can bring him down with just a finger.”

Xing ShiYi spoke flippantly while his eyes were filled with intense bloodthirsty killing intent. He raised his right hand and waved the large sword in his hand, flinging away the drops of blood on its blade.

Right at this moment, Ling Xiao, who was comforting You XiaoMo, started to laugh.

A hint of suppressed self-satisfaction could be heard in Ling Xiao’s laughter. Those who heard it got a rather strange feeling. Normally, wouldn’t one run away a long time ago when faced with such a great disparity in strength? Not only did they not, they didn’t even show any signs of anxiousness.

Xing ShiYi and company finally felt that something was not quite right, “What are you laughing at?”

Ling Xiao stopped laughing abruptly and glanced at Xing ShiYi in amusement. He then lowered his head and looked at You XiaoMo, who was just about done vomiting. He gently caressed his silky hair with one of his hands as he laughed while saying, “Xiao Shidi, your shixiong understands and sympathizes with you, as this is your first time seeing such a gruesome scene, but you also have seen that they have discovered our secret, so your shixiong ‘has no other choice’ but to kill them right in front of you. You also have to show some understanding and sympathize with your shixiong, ok!”

You XiaoMo rolled his eyes at him. How could he not know that these people have already discovered whatever secret of theirs? Speaking so pompously, wasn’t it just him wanting to kill them? Still coming up with so many excuses.

In these pasts few days he encountered all sorts of bloody and cruel experiences one after another. Furthermore, today’s scene was so bloody and gruesome. He felt that his ability to endure was quickly heading towards a very strong and abnormal direction. He now realized one truth. There was no such thing as most gruesome in this world, there was only even more gruesome!

However, to Xing ShiYi and company, hearing these words from Ling Xiao was like hearing the world’s funniest joke.

Lin Xiao wanted to kill all of them here by himself? Surely it had to be a joke. Furthermore, he must have misunderstood his position, ba. Surely it was them who would be silencing witnesses.

Since Ling Xiao came upon their scheme, discovering that the Xing Luo Sect was working with the demons, there was no way they could let him, and the puny mage go no matter what.

Ling Xiao stood up and patted his melon seed head, saying in a considerate voice, “Xiao Shidi, go ahead and throw up. By the time you’re finished, I will have done away with the witnesses.”

You XiaoMo was speechless. He could only continue rolling his eyes in answer. He realized that this fellow really had no lower limit.

Ling Xiao then jumped down from the vine, his clothes fluttering in the wind, a slight smile on the corners of his lips. He seemed to have a scholarly and noble air. Who would have guessed that he had killing on his mind at that time?
