Chapter 267 - Invited duels
After leaving the cave, Ling Xiao headed back to his own residence. On the way, he heard some words regarding him and Yue Lingshan's invitation to spar.
He never thought that the mouths of the disciples of the Huashan Mountain Sect would be so unreliable. Not long after he left, news of his departure had already spread across the entire Huashan Mountain.
However, Ling Xiao was not afraid, because it was impossible for Yue Lingshan to be her opponent. The key thing was that the big figures up there, if they heard the news, they might not have any ideas.
After all, according to seniority, Ling Xiao was the same generation as Yue Buqun.
But right now, he was being provoked by Yue Buqun's daughter face to face, which was truly a bit pitiful. The days in the sword sect were so difficult, and his position was so low, it was no wonder that Ling Xiao was the only one left.
If it was anyone else, they would probably still be bullied, but now that Ling Xiao had come, they could not let the sword sect continue being lonely.
Ignoring the discussions of the people by the side of the road, Ling Xiao walked towards his own residence.
Above Huashan Mountain, in a beautiful environment, in a study.
The Huashan Mountain had sent Sect Leader Yue Buqun and his wife, Ning Zhongze, to sit opposite of each other.
"I've recently heard that the Sword Sect's successor, Ling Xiao, has stirred up some trouble." Yue Buqun said as he drank from the tea-water.
Ning Zhong helped pour the tea, "Yes, it is related to Shan'er. I thought something had happened, so I immediately went to investigate and found out that it was the two of them who had arranged a martial arts match."
"Oh? Martial arts competition? This girl is not humble. In terms of seniority, it's not like she doesn't know that Ling Xiao is above her. " After Yue Buqun heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Master, what do you care about them? They are all just children, that Ling Xiao is only a child according to the seniority in Huashan Mountain. When Ning Zhong heard this, he was displeased. After all, he was his own daughter.
"However, that Ling Xiao has been living in seclusion since the start, and I never heard of any achievements, if not the sword faction would not have fallen here, in this battle, it's fine if Ling Xiao won, but if he lost, then the sword faction would no longer have any reason to exist." Yue Buqun sighed.
Hearing that, Ning Zhong Wu put down the teapot in his hand and said angrily: "That means, old master, you wish for Ling Xiao to win?"
Yue Buqun raised his head to look at Ning Zhongze, and waved his hand as he said: "I didn't say that, of course I hoped that Shan'er would win. It's just that the sword sect is also one of us, and they don't want to suppress us so fiercely.
"It's precisely because Ling Xiao has a low chance of winning that I'm worried for him. After all, he's from the same sect." Yue Buqun said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ning Zhongze finally revealed a smile. "That's more like it."
If Yue Buqun did not stop the competition, then no one in Huashan Mountain would stop him.
Beneath Yue Buqun, Yue Lingshan was naturally the biggest.
Without Yue Buqun's control, the entire Huashan Mountain began to wantonly talk about Ling Xiao wanting to compete in martial arts matches.
"This Ling Xiao isn't staying in the cave obediently, if he runs out and fights with Eldest Miss, isn't he courting death?"
"However, Ling Xiao, as the last disciple of the Sword Sect, he definitely has some weight. I hope young miss does not let his guard down too much."
"Hehe, even if Ling Xiao has some skills, does that mean he really dares to go against Eldest Miss? Otherwise, Sect Leader would definitely skin him alive. "
"That's right, no matter how this competition looks at it, Ling Xiao will definitely lose!"
At this time, a Huashan Mountain disciple rushed into the crowd, "Come over here quickly, I've found out where they are fighting."
"What are you saying? We already knew. It's the empty area in front of the cave that they met."
At this time, Ling Xiao was actually meditating at the location of the sword sect to train his spiritual energy. This was because only by keeping up with the changes in his brain would he be able to make accurate predictions.
After a long while, Ling Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the empty sword sect mansion, no one cleaned up the leaves on the ground, his heart could not help but sigh, the feeling of being alone is truly lonely, it seems that I have to think of a way to find some people in the future.
He stood up and walked to the front of the clearing, but Ling Xiao did not move, the dantian in his body released a strong burst of energy, with Ling Xiao as the center, it spread out, the powerful energy swept away the branches and leaves on the ground, and then, under Ling Xiao's control, it crumpled up and like a huge cannonball, it flew out of the courtyard.
Suddenly, a burst of crashing sounds rang out, as if it was raining.
In a short day, those who didn't know had already found out and given everyone an early occupancy. Even until the next morning, when the sky was still not completely lit up, the people had already surrounded the martial arts competition's venue.
When Ling Xiao arrived at the arena, he was also stunned for a moment. He didn't think that there would be so many people waiting to watch a show.
Seeing Ling Xiao had arrived, the surrounding disciples of the Huashan Mountain Sect all started to shout, some people were cheering for Ling Xiao, while others were simply joining in on the fun, while the rest were mocking Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao slowly walked to the center of the arena and closed his eyes. He did not pay any attention to the surrounding noisy environment, but he had secretly made his move.
A light breeze blew across the field, carrying with it some flying sand and leaves. The rustling sounds proved the presence of the wind.
No one noticed the undercurrents, and soon after, they heard a few people around them either covering their heads, arms, or legs as they screamed.
"Why did you hit my head!"
"Why did you step on my foot!"
"Is there something wrong with you? Are you going to hit my arm?!"
In a short period of time, a lot of chaos occurred in the crowd.
Martial artists were always full of vigor, not to mention that these were all young men. They all had temper, and without saying anything further, they began to fight. Even if they were from the same sect, they would not be polite.
This time, the competition had yet to begin, but it was already interesting.
There was a large crowd of people who were watching the fight. Not only did no one try to stop them, even those who were close to them were inexplicably hit. Anger burned within them as they too joined the fight.
As a result, the surrounding crowd exploded. The sounds of fighting and cursing rose and fell like a group of monkeys, making people unable to restrain their laughter.
Ling Xiao did not open his eyes, but the corner of his mouth raised a little. This was because the situation had developed according to his own plan, and he liked this kind of liveliness.
There were already conflicts of varying sizes, and now that Ling Xiao had provoked them, it was even more impossible for them to settle things peacefully. Anyone who could use a fist would definitely not move his mouth, and it was truly an enjoyable beating.
