"Ling Xiao, you can't kill me. If you dare to kill me, you will surely die!"
Mo Wuji's eyes were filled with fear, and he roared in a timid manner.
He didn't expect that the one-time attack weapon he relied on was actually broken by Ling Xiao, completely destroying his hope of escape.
Ling Xiao had already caught up, holding the Heaven-Swallowing Sword, with dragon energy surrounding him, looking at Mo Wuji with cold eyes.
"I don't dare to kill you? You are so childish!"
Ling Xiao sneered, not caring what Mo Wuji said at all. The Heaven-Swallowing Sword emitted a tremendous sword light and fell down, instantly submerging Mo Wuji.
The sky and the earth rumbled, sword energy spread everywhere, accompanied by the ancient and vast sound of dragon roar. Mo Wuji didn't even have time to scream, and disappeared directly into the void.
Mo Wuji's storage ring flashed in the void and was taken away by Ling Xiao.
The Heaven-Swallowing Golden Lotus emitted a hazy light, and a ray of rosy glow flashed, instantly rolling up Mo Wuji's soul and collecting it into the Heaven-Swallowing Golden Lotus.
In the imperial mausoleum at the back mountain, endless Yellow Springs death energy filled the air. As the spirit of the dragon vein was released by Ling Xiao, under Ling Xiao's urging, endless earth energy surged. Under the influence of the dragon vein, the Yellow Springs death energy was suppressed and collected into the depths of the earth.
After the deathly aura of the Yellow Springs dissipated, heaven and earth became empty.
But the imperial mausoleum on the back mountain was in a mess. All the flowers, plants and trees were withered, and the mountain peaks were desolate, like a desolate place.
"Ling Xiao... you can actually control the Great Wilderness Dragon Vein?"
The Huangquan Shenglong Formation was completely broken, and Xia Huang, Ling Juechen and Chunyang Zhenren all escaped. When Xia Huang saw Ling Xiao's appearance, he clearly felt the dragon vein energy in his body, and his eyes showed an extremely shocked look.
You know, even though Xia Huang is the king of the Great Wilderness and has a close connection with the Great Wilderness Dragon Vein, it is impossible for him to fully activate the Great Wilderness Dragon Vein like Ling Xiao and unleash power comparable to that of a king or a prince.
"This is nothing. This is also a secret method that my cheap master taught me. It can temporarily borrow the power of the dragon vein at a critical moment!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and unnoticedly pushed the method of controlling the Great Wilderness Dragon Vein onto his imaginary master.
"So he is the confused old man. He is so talented that I didn't expect he even knows how to control dragon veins!"
Xia Huang and the other two suddenly understood, and a hint of admiration appeared in their eyes.
The Confused Old Man could be said to be the most mysterious person in the Eight Desolate Territory, with unfathomable strength. If it was he who taught Ling Xiao the secret method, Xia Huang and the other two would naturally think it was natural.
"With the power of dragon veins, you can burst out a force comparable to that of a king. No wonder Mo Wuji and his men died in your hands! It's a pity that no one was left alive. Mo Wuji and his men were cunning and secretive. If they were left alive, perhaps we could torture them to find out their origins!"
Xia Huang said with some regret.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, “Your Majesty, perhaps you don’t know yet, these people are assassins from the underworld, and Mo Wuji is the head of the underworld in the Great Wilderness Ancient Country. This time, I’m afraid that all the elite underworld troops in the Great Wilderness Ancient Country have been killed here, and the rest are just some small fry!”
"It's actually an assassin from the underworld?!"
Xia Huang, Ling Juechen and Zhenren Chunyang all showed a trace of shock. Even with their level of cultivation, they were extremely wary of the underworld. Although these rats hiding in the stinking ditch were annoying, their strength was extremely terrifying.
Legend has it that they once successfully assassinated a powerful man at the king level!
Mo Wuji actually became the Ninth Prince's guest official and walked around the royal capital openly. No wonder the assassin from the underworld could not be found no matter what.
"As for what conspiracy the underworld has, we have no way of knowing. Fortunately, their conspiracy did not succeed!"
There was a gleam of brilliance in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he spoke slowly.
Xia Huang, Ling Juechen and True Man Chunyang all nodded in agreement. Being able to kill Mo Wuji and the others was already their biggest gain.
Xia Huang checked the imperial tombs in the back mountain and found that the tombs had not suffered any damage, so he felt relieved.
Moreover, in the valley, Xia Huang also found tens of thousands of corpses. They were all warriors of the ancient country of Dahuang. They were killed by Mo Wuji and others in order to refine them into an army of ghost slaves. Even Xia Yunran and Chen Weishan were among them, with unwilling looks in their eyes.
After the deathly aura of the Yellow Springs dissipated, these corpses also completely lost all life.
After staying in front of Xia Yunran's body for a moment, Xia Huang's eyes showed a slight ripple, and finally he left without saying a word.
Soon, soldiers from the Qingjiao Army came in and took the bodies away for burial.
This rebellion that swept across the entire royal capital was finally quelled.
The price paid was that the eldest prince Xia Yunjie and the ninth prince Xia Yunran both died, and the warriors of the ancient country of Dahuang also suffered heavy losses.
Xia Huang's heart was naturally not as calm as he appeared on the surface. After all, Xia Yunjie and Xia Yunran were both his most beloved sons.
Ling Juechen and Zhenren Chunyang were both silent for a while.
Not long after, soldiers from the Qingjiao Army came to report that Xia Hongxiu and Ling Qingqing had been rescued safely. Neither of them had suffered any harm, but their cultivation was sealed and they were locked up in a heavily guarded palace.
When Xia Hongxiu and Ling Qingqing came over, they saw Ling Xiao, and both of them showed great surprise and disbelief in their eyes.
"Ling Xiao, I knew you were lucky and would be fine! I've made you worry for so long, how are you going to compensate me?"
Ling Qingqing punched Ling Xiao on the chest, her beautiful eyes slightly red, but her pretty face was full of happy smiles.
Xia Hongxiu just stood beside Xia Huang, looking at Ling Xiao and Ling Qingqing with a somewhat dim gaze.
"Thank you, Sister Qingqing, for your concern. I will give you something good later. I guarantee you will like it!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, keeping the audience in suspense.
Ling Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a smile: "You said it. If you can't satisfy me, I won't let you go!"
Xia Huang, Ling Juechen and Chunyang Zhenren all left temporarily. There had been such a big rebellion and changes in the royal capital, and there were still many things they needed to deal with.
Ling Xiao returned to the Demon-Suppressing King's Palace.
"Master, I'm so glad you're okay!"
Meng Ao had woken up and was being supported by someone. He looked very pale. When he and Liu Xiongfei saw Ling Xiao, there was an expression of great surprise in their eyes.
"Uncle Meng, Uncle Liu!"
There was a trace of pain in Ling Xiao's eyes. Meng Ao lost an arm, and Liu Xiongfei lost a leg. It was all done by the assassins from the underworld. The Wanshou Sect, Mo Wuji, and Ling Yunxiang were all responsible.
Now, Mo Wuji and Ling Yunxiang have both died at the hands of Ling Xiao, and the Tiger King of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has also been killed by Ling Xiao, which can be regarded as revenge for Meng Ao and Liu Xiongfei.
However, to regenerate a severed arm, it is not something that can be achieved with ordinary elixirs; it requires top-notch natural treasures.
