Ling Xiao was finally relieved when his first enemy fell.

Dean's death not only avenged the original owner, but also let Ling Xiao see a glimmer of hope. Facing such a high and mighty enemy with strength, power, and crafty tactics, Ling Xiao began to have confidence.

One day, he would return to the upper echelons to take revenge on those people!

Once again, Ling Xiao had a firm goal in mind. He cleaned up Dean's corpse, cleaned up the battlefield, and then headed straight for the city.

Even though it was already late in the night, Deliah's room was still brightly lit.

She was too excited to sleep.

Ever since the end of the auction that caused a sensation in the entire Kata City three days ago, not only did her family receive a share of close to a hundred thousand gold coins, they gained even more prominence, faintly overtaking the other families.

It had to be known that every single family had the intention of becoming the number one family. And now, they were getting closer to this dream. Naturally, they had to strike while the iron was hot.

Thus, the family held a meeting.

Deliah had the privilege of attending the meeting as well, thanks to her discovery of the travelling merchant. She was the only one of the younger generation to attend the meeting.

After careful discussion, the clan's decision makers decided to use the three bottles of heaven and earth essence that Deliah had obtained as soon as possible to increase the clan's strength. Only then would they have more authority to speak.

Deliah's father, who had reached Seventh Level Martial Soldier, naturally became one of the users. After consuming the quintessence, he would enter the Martial Master realm in his room.

Deliah paced back and forth anxiously. Her father had been inside for such a long time, yet there was no movement. Could something have happened?

Her brother, on the other hand, was calm and advised Deliah, "Don't worry. It took me quite a while to completely absorb that bottle of heaven and earth essence when I used it. Furthermore, the bottle that Father used was much purer than mine, so naturally, I would have to spend more time to completely absorb it. "

Hearing her brother's words, Deliah felt slightly more at ease. She returned to her chair and waited for the news.

Suddenly, there were loud noises coming from outside. Deliah listened attentively, and couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile on her beautiful face. "Father has broken through!"

Deliah and her brother walked together to the front yard to congratulate their father. However, when they arrived at the main hall, they discovered that although there was joy on their father's face, most of it was worry.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? " Deliah asked.

Deliah's father looked at his favorite daughter and sighed lightly. "There's a message from the Levi Family side. Their Patriarch broke through and became an official warrior."

Based on his calculations, he should've broken through earlier than him.

Deliah was a little puzzled. "Didn't they bid for a bottle of heaven and earth essence too?"

The person whose Levi Family had captured the essence of heaven and earth was none other than Martha. Deliah was happy for a long time when her opponent, who she disliked, gave her money while pinching her nose.

Deliah's father shot a complicated look at his daughter. "His daughter, Martha, also broke through."

Deliah's expression turned sullen.

When she returned to her room, she did not smile again. Her brother comforted her and said, "With your current age, reaching the realm of First Level of Martial Soldier is already very impressive. Don't give yourself too much pressure. Your talent is not worse than the Levi girl, I believe you will break through very soon. "

But this did not improve Deliah's mood in the slightest.

Not only did she hate Martha because they were similar in every aspect, and were always compared by others, most importantly, those people in Kata City, especially the commoners and low-ranked Martial Cultivator s, all said that she was inferior to Martha.

Ridiculous! How could she not be comparable to that woman? Was it because she didn't want to curtsy on the surface like Martha, but was she still trying to curry favor with them?

A woman's intuition told Deliah that there was a malicious heart hiding beneath Martha's benevolent appearance. However, she did not tell anyone her own guess, because even if she did, others would only think that she was jealous. Instead, she gave that woman a chance to put on an act.

Because of this intuition of hers, Deliah had been trying very hard to leave Martha behind. She didn't want to compare herself to such a hypocritical person!

But now, Martha had surpassed her.

Would she be left far behind? Would she only be able to look at Martha's triumphant back?

Deliah was deeply worried.

"Who's there!"

There was one person who had appeared in her room without anyone noticing.

A hoarse voice answered from the dark corner, "Miss Deliah, you don't recognize me so soon?"

It was the masked man, and also the owner of the essence of the world.

Deliah naturally had a deep impression of him. She walked over as naturally as she could without completely relaxing her guard.

The masked man didn't seem to mind. "I've come here to do a business with Miss Deliah. Are you interested?"

Deliah asked, "What do you want to sell?"

The masked man replied, "A piece of news." A piece of news about why Martha Levi made the breakthrough so quickly. "

Delia's heart started pounding. She tried to suppress her desire to immediately agree, pretending to be calm. "Why do you say that?"

The masked man was Ling Xiao. Because he was worried about Dongzi's safety, he did not loiter around and directly took out something from his sleeves and threw it out, saying: "Other than Martha and her father, there will be more people breaking through Levi Family. That's because they've obtained a method to artificially create the essence of heaven and earth. "

Deliah didn't even have the time to see what Ling Xiao was talking about before she was shocked by Ling Xiao's words.

To create the essence of the world!

She knew better than anyone what this meant.

Ling Xiao told Deliah about his experiences in the past few days, omitting some of it.

"Deliah's face was deathly pale after she finished listening, as if she couldn't believe it." How dare they! "A bunch of madmen!"

This was a gamble on Levi Family, and the gamble was the fate of the entire clan. If they won, they would be able to monopolize Kata City, and would no longer have to worry about the expressions of other forces; if they lost, they would be killed by the combined might of the entire Kata City, and their families would be annihilated.

After all, no one would wish to see a large number of commoners and Martial Cultivator being killed. A sense of danger would force these forces who had different hearts and hearts to work together to deal with Levi Family.

For this, they were also extremely careful. Originally, they were going to succeed, but they shouldn't have done so. Instead, they sent their deathsworn to kill Ling Xiao. Instead, he discovered this hidden conspiracy of his.

Not to mention for the sake of the innocent dead humans and Savage Beast, even for his own sake, Ling Xiao had to reveal this matter.
