Chapter 221 - Peace before the Storm

”We pay our respects to Vice Sect Leader!”

Beneath the life and death arena, the Sky Cracking Sword Sect Disciple and elders were all shouting. They had clearly seen the great battle before. Vice Sect Master Xiang Yuan Liang was killed by Ling Dao, and in terms of strength, Ling Dao was already enough to be Sky-splitting Sword Sect's Vice Sect Master.

Moreover, Ling Dao was only fifteen years old. As long as he had enough time, he would definitely become even stronger in the future. The year was nearing, and before long, Ling Dao would be sixteen years old. When he was twenty, how tyrannical would he be?

After Duan Zhenghui gave some instructions, someone cleaned up Xiang Liang's body. No matter what, Xiang Yuan Liang was once the Vice Sect Master of Sky-splitting Sword Sect, so he naturally could not just leave them here. Of course, no one would want to take revenge against Yuan Liang, they had already seen Ling Dao's power, without his cultivation, it was better not to cause trouble for him.

”Let's end this matter here. Xiang Yuan Liang is already dead. I will deal with the elders who partic.i.p.ated in this matter. How about it?”

The current Ling Dao, was completely different from the past. Duan Zhenghui naturally did not treat Ling Dao as a disciple anymore, and his conversation with Ling Dao was filled with discussion. Ling Dao was already a air defence warrior, and it might not be long before he would surpa.s.s Duan Zhenghui.

”Alright, let the punishment be a little heavier. This matter shall be cleared!”

Previously, Ling Dao did not give Duan Zhenghui any face, and directly beheaded Yuan Liang. Now that Duan Zhenghui was pleading for mercy on behalf of the other elders, Ling Dao naturally could not refute anymore and just let the elders go. In any case, the culprit, Xiang Liang, was already dead, so his deterrence was definitely sufficient. He even dared to kill the vice sect master, who wouldn't dare?

”Un, no problem!”

Duan Zhenghui was also relieved, if Ling Dao really wanted to kill those elders, he would have a headache. Even though he didn't know the details, he knew that there were many elders who were involved in this matter.

Not long after, Zhuang Xin also came out. When he found out that Ling Dao had killed Xiang Yuan, he was also at a loss for words, not daring to believe. It could be said that he watched Ling Dao grow step by step. At that time, Ling Dao only had Physical Realm, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he was already around the same as him.

”Grand master, the promise of fully cultivating this super genius disciple was correct, right?”

In the main hall of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, there were only Duan Zhenghui and Zhuang Xin. Regarding the matter regarding Ling Dao, Zhuang Xin had naturally come to Duan Zhenghui's place to seek confirmation, which was why he completely believed the rumors. For such a monster to appear in Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Zhuang Xin was naturally extremely happy.

”That's right, that's right. It's just that Ling Dao's rate of growth is completely outside of our expectations. Before we even had the chance to fully nurture him, his battle prowess was already around the same as ours. Even if it's me, I have no confidence in defeating him! ”

Duan Zhenghui's expression was extremely contradictory. He was naturally extremely happy that such an outstanding disciple had appeared in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, but Ling Dao had only spent less than a year to accomplish tens of years of his accomplishments.

”Ling Dao is a righteous and loyal man and we treat him well. When he becomes strong in the future, he will definitely protect us Sky-splitting Sword Sect. However, I'm afraid it's impossible for him to become the Sect Leader! ”

Both Zhuang Xin and Duan Zhenghui understood that there was no room for this big fish, Ling Dao, in this small stream of Sky-splitting Sword Sect. What Ling Dao needed was an even wider stage, where it was just a small Sky-splitting Sword Sect that was simply not suitable for him. How could a Golden Scale Beast be an object within a pond? It would only encounter wind and clouds before it transformed into a dragon.

Duan Zhenghui's growth was simply too fast, his air defence was unable to stop's footsteps. If Ling Dao was restricted to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, it would definitely hinder his future development.

”I'll go and see Ling Dao. I wonder what his plans will be in the future!”

The relations.h.i.+p between Zhuang Xin and Ling Dao was naturally better than that between Duan Zhenghui and the others. After becoming vice sect master, Ling Dao naturally lived in the sky palace on the east side as well. Not long after, Zhuang Xin arrived at Ling Dao's residence.

”Grandpa Jiang, you just need to lie down. I will prepare something for you to eat!”

Jiang Ren's injuries were not light. In this period of time, it was Ling Dao who was taking care of him. Now that Ling Dao had a new residence, naturally, he had to pull Jiang Ren over as well. From a long distance away, Zhuang Xin heard Ling Dao's voice and naturally walked in.

”Vice Sect Leader, you're here!”

Ling Dao smiled at Zhuang Xin, and then invited Zhuang Xin to sit, he then brought out all the food. He even took out a jar of good wine, which made Jiang Ren extremely happy, even if he was injured, it was no exception.

”Vice Sect Leader, this token is for you. I'll return it to you now. There's no need for it in the future!”

The current Ling Dao, was already a vice sect master himself, so using Zhuang Xin's vice sect master token naturally wouldn't be of any use at all. Originally, the reason why Zhuang Xin gave him this order badge was so that Ling Dao could use it when he was in a difficult situation to deal with.

Unfortunately, until now, Ling Dao had never used this order badge. Ling Dao was completely able to handle whatever was happening in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Even if he took out this token, it wouldn't have any effect on him.

”Alright, I didn't expect you to return it back to me after not using it once. You only had Physical Realm when I gave you the command tablet, but I never thought that in the blink of an eye, you would already be a vice sect master like me. I have yet to congratulate you on becoming the vice sect master. Come, cheers! ”

For Ling Dao to have achieved such an achievement, he was extremely happy as well. After keeping the vice sect master token, Zhuang Xin raised his own wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Zhuang Xin did not feel much about Xiang Liang's death. In any case, his relations.h.i.+p with Xiang Liang was not that good anyway.

”The New Year is approaching. After the New Year, perhaps the Heavy Sword Sect will make her move.”

If Ling Dao had not first destroyed the Heavy Sword Sect's spirit stone vein, then stole the Three Revolutions Spirit Gathering Flower, the Heavy Sword Sect would have already taken action against the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. It was very obvious that Ling Dao had already done it and done it very successfully for the Heavy Sword Sect.
