"It was only after devouring a Heavenly Demon King that the twenty-third Heavenly Gang Migration Secret Art appeared. The price of this secret art is really high!"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly. The ranking of 23rd in Tiangang was not very high, and was not as good as his Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art. The Wordless Heavenly Book needed to devour a Heavenly Demon King before it could be manifested. If he wanted to get the top ten secret arts, wouldn't he need to devour a real god
Ling Xiao was extremely lucky to be able to let the Wordless Heavenly Book devour the demon Luo. Otherwise, it would probably take him a long time to gather the terrifying energy of the Wordless Heavenly Book.
"Now it seems that if I can find the incomplete secret technique, the energy consumed by the Wordless Heavenly Book will be very little! It seems that this is the only way to obtain the secret technique in the future!"
Ling Xiao thought secretly.
Moro's body had turned into powder. Ling Xiao slowly stood up, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from him. The void around him was trembling slightly.
The entire Eight Desolate Secret Realm has been destroyed. The surrounding mountains have collapsed, the earth has been torn apart, and countless towering ancient trees have died, turning it into a desolate land.
"I don't know how long it took me to devour and refine Moruo's corpse. I wonder if Sister Qingqing and the others managed to escape?"
There was a hint of worry in Ling Xiao's eyes. When he was devouring and refining Moro's corpse, he forgot about himself and the world, and forgot about time and everything.
He thought of the one-month life-and-death battle with the Wanshou Sect. Ling Xiao also realized that the reason why the battle was set for a month was actually a delaying tactic by the Wanshou Sect. After all, the Wanshou Sect was far away from the ancient country of Dahuang.
"I hope I can go back now, it's not too late!"
Ling Xiao thought secretly, the Heaven-Swallowing Sword turned into a stream of light and flew into Ling Xiao's Dantian Qi Sea for nourishment. His whole body turned into a stream of light and quickly went towards the exit of the Eight Desolate Secret Realm.
Although the exit of the Eight Desolate Secret Realm was destroyed, Ling Xiao naturally knew how to activate the Eight Desolate Demon-Suppressing Array, so he left the secret realm easily.
"Sister Qingqing and the others may have returned to the royal capital!"
Ling Xiao guessed secretly, but there was a worry in his heart. He spread his body and quickly headed towards the ancient country of Dahuang.
Although he came very quickly, that was because the Black Hawk had an extremely fast speed. Ling Xiao, with his own cultivation level, could not reach the Black Hawk's speed of traveling 100,000 miles a day.
As he hurried on his way, he comprehended the secret art of teleportation, and his speed became faster and faster.
The practice of the secret art of teleportation requires at least the cultivation level of a Grandmaster, because it involves the laws of heaven and earth, and the power of the void.
Only those who have reached the Grandmaster level can begin to comprehend the power of heaven and earth and be qualified to comprehend the secret art of teleportation.
The more Ling Xiao comprehended, the more he felt the profoundness of the secret art of teleportation. If he could practice it to the extreme, perhaps penetrating the void and teleporting among the heavens and all worlds would not be a dream anymore.
Ling Xiao rode non-stop, exhausted all the way, and finally returned to the royal capital on the third day.
The royal capital in the distance was still ancient and mottled, gleaming in the sun.
Ling Xiao walked towards the gate of the royal capital and saw some soldiers in armor checking people entering the city. Their eyes were like those of hawks, sharp and cold.
"Um?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he felt something was wrong.
The gates of the capital city were guarded by the city guards, who were also part of the imperial guards and were led by Meng Ao. They all wore uniform black armor and held the Kirin flag. However, these soldiers wore blue armor and held the Blue Dragon flag.
If Ling Xiao remembered correctly, the Qingjiao Army was under the control of Chen Weishan. How could they take over the defense of the city gates of the royal capital
Ling Xiao frowned. Could something have happened in the royal capital
Just when Ling Xiao was about to enter the royal capital, the soldiers of the Qingjiao Army also discovered Ling Xiao, especially the leader. After seeing Ling Xiao, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
The commander whispered a few words to the soldiers of the Qingjiao Army and turned to leave.
There was a flash of coldness in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he immediately flew away, directly to the side of the commander and grabbed his shoulder.
“Bold!”
"Put down the commander!"
The soldiers of the Qingjiao Army were stunned, and immediately drew their weapons, looking at Ling Xiao with murderous looks on their faces and yelling.
"What...what do you want to do?"
The commander was only at the sixth level of the Dragon-Tiger Realm. He was no match for Ling Xiao and was immediately unable to move. He looked at Ling Xiao with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"You know me? Why did you run away after seeing me?"
Ling Xiao asked calmly.
The commander swallowed and said, "Young man, you are joking. How could I recognize you? I am not running away. It is just that it is time for us to change shifts, so I have to leave!"
The commander's eyes flickered, and he looked around as he spoke.
"You are really dishonest!"
Ling Xiao sneered, and immediately exerted force with his fingers. A powerful force came, and the commander felt a piercing pain and began to howl in pain.
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, you can go to hell!"
There was a cold murderous intent in Ling Xiao's eyes. When he saw these Qing Jiao soldiers and the commander who wanted to leave after seeing Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao knew that something might have really happened in the royal capital.
"Mr. Ling, spare my life. I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
The commander was sweating profusely from the pain and begged for mercy quickly.
Ling Xiao loosened his arm, and the commander told Ling Xiao everything that happened in the royal capital with a sad face.
It turned out that after Ling Xiao left the royal capital, it was said that the National Master, the True Man Chunyang and the King of Great Wilderness all went into seclusion at the same time, and the Ninth Prince Xia Yunran took the opportunity to collude with the General Chen Weishan, together with some civil and military officials, to seize control of the royal capital, and announced to the outside world that the King of Great Wilderness had passed away, killed the eldest prince Xia Yunjie, and prepared to ascend the throne.
All those who did not submit to Xia Yunran either died inexplicably or surrendered and joined Xia Yunran at the last moment. The entire ancient country of Dahuang changed.
Although Meng Ao was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, he had been recuperating in the Demon-Suppressing Palace due to his previous injuries. Xia Yunran instigated several commanders of the Imperial Guards to rebel, causing the Imperial Guards to fall apart. Some of the Imperial Guards defected to Xia Yunran, while another part of the Imperial Guards and the three hundred Tiger Guards Battalion soldiers were loyal to Meng Ao. Now they are all in the Demon-Suppressing Palace, forming a standoff with Chen Weishan and others.
"Xia Yunran actually dared to rebel? This kid is really looking for death!"
There was a hint of coldness in Ling Xiao's eyes. He didn't know why Xia Yunran was so stupid. You have to know that he was the one who personally refined the Resurrection Pill. Xia Huang, Ling Juechen and Chunyang Zhenren would probably come out of seclusion soon. By then, three powerful kings would appear in the world. Even those martial arts holy places would have to be cautious. Xia Yunran was simply courting death by doing this.
The commander looked at Ling Xiao cautiously and continued, "The Ninth Prince is worried that you will come back, so he asked us to patrol the gate of the capital. If we find any news about you, we must report it immediately!"
"I didn't expect that Xia Yunran would be so afraid of me. Should I feel honored? Let me ask you, have Ling Qingqing, Xia Hongxiu, and Li Chengfeng returned to the capital?"
Ling Xiao sneered and asked the commander.
