The Yin-Yang Demon King fantasized about regaining his cultivation level and then exacting revenge on Ling Xiao and the Moon Lady, and couldn’t help but laugh. However, at that moment, he felt someone lightly tap his shoulder. The tap startled him. Because he hadn’t sensed the person’s presence at all, which was downright alarming. He tried to shake off the hand, but found it weighed down on him like a heavy mountain, immobilizing him completely. This made him even more terrified. "Who are you? Do we have a grudge?" Cold sweat dripped down the Yin-Yang Demon King’s forehead. The Awakened Lion Beast, which was confronting him, also leaped forward at that moment. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩 Perhaps it thought this was the best opportunity to kill him. However, the Awakened Lion Beast’s dream was clearly unfulfilled—it was instantly killed by a punch from Ling Xiao, who stood behind the Yin-Yang Demon King. Ling Xiao also needed the beast core of the Awakened Lion Beast. Besides, this creature was utterly clueless. He casually grabbed the beast core of the Awakened Lion Beast and directly stuffed it into his mouth to eat. After consuming the beast core, his cultivation level restored somewhat. "Wonderful! With this, my cultivation should be fully restored today, and tomorrow I can rush back to Tianhai City." Ling Xiao felt exhilarated. It seemed like coming to this Demon Mountain Forest today was indeed the right decision. Not only did he encounter his nemesis, the Yin-Yang Demon King, but also obtained the beast core of the Awakened Lion Beast. And this wasn’t the only core. Inside the Yin Yang Demon King’s Storage Ring, there were quite a few more, which couldn’t escape his Tai Chi Eye. "Yin-Yang Demon King, do you still recognize me?" Ling Xiao directly turned the Yin-Yang Demon King’s body to face him. He could have directly killed the Yin-Yang Demon King, but that would be too dull; he had to let the other party know who was behind his demise. The moment the Yin-Yang Demon King turned around, all fantasies were gone. The one controlling him turned out to be Ling Xiao; did he still want to live? He frantically mobilized the Yin-Yang Elemental Force within him, wildly attacking Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao did not resist at all. Yesterday, Prince White Horse hit him once, which not only resulted in minor injuries but also facilitated the reflow of inner strength within his cells. That was a good thing. Therefore, he hoped to be attacked. The Yin-Yang Demon King’s assault hit Ling Xiao’s body, causing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth, yet a smug smile spread across his face. A cultivation level of the Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Level could indeed restore faster than just sitting there foolishly. If he had known that getting hit could restore his cultivation, he would have done it long ago. "Thanks, but you still have to die." Ling Xiao hadn’t had the capability to kill the Yin-Yang Demon King before, which was why he hadn’t. Now that he had the capability, he certainly wouldn’t miss the chance. With a thought, a terrifying Blood Soul Dragon Talisman rose above his head, spewing scorching Hell Dragon Fire, causing the Yin-Yang Demon King to shudder uncontrollably. "Rest assured, I am not interested in your body, but your soul; it will be refined into a Martial Soul and become part of my Nine Demon God Technique!" Ling Xiao showed a sinister smile, exerting force, as terrifying Sword Qi pierced through the Yin-Yang Demon King’s body, instantly turning this once-powerful figure into a puddle of mud. Afterward, he threw it into the Blood Soul Dragon Talisman. Of course, before that, he had already snatched the Yin Yang Demon King’s Storage Ring. After surveying his surroundings to ensure silence and solitude, Ling Xiao decided not to venture elsewhere; he directly sat down cross-legged, took out all the Awakened Lion Beast cores from the Yin Yang Demon King’s Storage Ring, and started eating them one by one. While consuming the cores, he activated the special cultivation method from his memory, ensuring continuous restoration of his cultivation. Who knows how long the Yin-Yang Demon King had worked hard to gather the beast cores in his storage ring—there were as many as a hundred of them; unfortunately, everything became a gown for others, fulfilling Ling Xiao. Not until the start of the third hour did Ling Xiao finally open his eyes. His cultivation had not only recovered to its previous pinnacle but had also broken through to the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm Level 11. Moreover, the Nine Demon God Technique had been effectively supplemented. Previously, the Plague Demon King, Evil Beast Demon King, Lightning Demon King, adding the current Yin-Yang Demon King, accounted for four major Demon Lords. Additionally, by acquiring the Yin-Yang Demon King’s abilities, Ling Xiao’s survivability would greatly increase. The Yin-Yang Demon King’s ability to change his appearance freely was precisely why he lived longer. Unless someone had the Tai Chi Eye like Ling Xiao, it would be impossibly difficult to see through. After restoring his cultivation, Ling Xiao yearned to return to Tianhai City immediately, as, by his estimation, the final selection day should be tomorrow. If he couldn’t get back by tomorrow, he was likely to miss the White Tiger Summit. He worked painstakingly to cultivate for satisfactory performance at the White Tiger Summit, thus earning that substantial reward, and then continuing to strengthen himself. To him, martial arts had no limit; as long as he could grow stronger, he was willing to risk everything. Although he could depart directly for Tianhai City from here, he had promised Red Moon to bring her along, and keeping one’s word was a must; thus, going back to say goodbye was essential. Moreover, this small family had saved his life, thus leaving directly without acknowledgment would be inappropriate. He stood up, ready to head back to Red Moon’s home, when suddenly a familiar aura came from dozens of miles away. This aura was deliberately released, intending for him to detect it. Ling Xiao frowned, then shook his head and chuckled bitterly. It seemed that those few had broken through obstacles during these days, but without seeing him, they began searching everywhere. Following this aura, he set off. In a valley, he saw Leng Mei and the corpses of two Sky Demon Sect martial artists. The current Leng Mei’s cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Level. And the two Sky Demon Sect martial artists she killed had cultivation levels of the Yin-Yang Realm Level 11. It seemed Leng Mei truly exerted herself to aid him through her relentless cultivation. Upon seeing Ling Xiao, Leng Mei almost burst into tears. "Alright, girl, I’m fine. Where are the others?" "Everyone split up to search for you; all of their cultivations have achieved breakthroughs, thanks entirely to the Magic Crystal Liquid you provided." "Try to find them and let them know they can go back to prepare for the final selection. I will also directly proceed to the selection site later." "No, Master, I want to go with you." "Listen now, I’m just going to thank those who saved my life; your presence might make them think someone’s causing trouble. You also saw that I’m very healthy now, and my cultivation is strong, anyone wanting to kill me would find it not so easy." Ling Xiao patted Leng Mei’s head, speaking with a smile. Ultimately, Leng Mei didn’t want to disobey Ling Xiao’s orders, especially seeing him unharmed—there was no longer any need to worry.
