Chapter 99

"这些家伙也太业余了！知道有箭雨挡道也不说弄块盾牌，看人家美国队长多聪明，走哪都带个锅盖！"

Ling Xiao looked at the crowd being suppressed by the arrow rain, pursed his lips, and mocked, he really didn't understand their thinking! Even if they wanted to enter the palace, they should have found a secluded place and used grappling hooks or something! How could they be so foolish, thinking of storming the palace as soon as the sun set? Clearly, they were sick and needed treatment!

Under the continuous assault of the arrow rain, the foolish ones who dared to storm the palace were finally all dead, and the crowd was scattered by the arrow rain, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"This world is finally peaceful! The palace should be quiet and solemn, not like a market, what a mess!" Ling Xiao coldly sneered.

Whoosh! Swoosh!

As if to slap his face, the palace was destined to be anything but quiet today.

As the sun set, the distant fiery clouds had lost their vibrant colors, and the not-so-thick cloud layers drifted slowly in the breeze. People say that personality is like floating clouds, and this feeling of floating and being high up indeed makes one envious!

After a brief moment of silence, the floating clouds suddenly began to change! Waves like rising tides, seemingly harmless but if not avoided, would silently engulf everything.

The waves were coming! Ling Xiao had never thought that even the floating clouds in the sky could be so terrifying! The violent momentum carried endless gales, causing the surrounding soldiers to stagger and sway!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the gales, the deafening thunder arrived as expected, and the cloud waves in the sky changed instantly.

The cloud waves suddenly contracted after the thunder, as if a giant hand was squeezing a sponge dry! This feeling made people restless and at a loss!

The cloud waves dissipated into countless scattered clouds, and then a tornado appeared on the horizon, connecting heaven and earth! Countless clouds gradually gathered and compressed with the tornado!

The clouds and the tornado formed a single entity, and the tornado that connected heaven and earth suddenly contracted! In just a few breaths, it transformed from a pillar of the sky into a celestial pearl!

The clouds and the wind were completely trapped by this celestial pearl, no matter how violent they were, they could not shake it in the slightest!

The celestial pearl approached at an unparalleled speed, and as it got closer, it turned into a cloud ball with a diameter of about three meters, and a towering figure could be seen faintly in the cloud!

The countless guards stared in amazement at this spectacle, some even drooling without realizing it!

The cloud ball shot straight toward the palace without stopping. Some of the guards with strong mental fortitude suddenly realized and shouted, "Enemy attack! Fire arrows!" The guards suddenly woke up, and the next moment, countless arrows whistled toward the cloud ball!

The contact between the arrows and the cloud ball did not result in a dazzling clash; instead, they deflected as they approached the cloud ball. Some scattered, while others were enveloped by the cloud ball, forming a protective layer!

Crack! Crack!

When the second wave of arrows came, they collided with the previous arrows and shattered, while the figure in the cloud ball remained motionless! It was as if he was strolling leisurely, as if he was just taking a walk in his own backyard!

The cloud ball ignored the arrow rain and the many experts standing on the palace gate, whizzing past them, the sound of the air splitting making Ling Xiao's ears ring!

Watching the cloud ball disappear into the palace, Ling Xiao swallowed hard and asked, "Aren't you going to stop it?"

"There's no need; that person has the right to watch! As I said before, true experts don't care about tokens, and that person's strength is formidable. Even we might not be able to stop him!" Lu Xiaofeng said calmly.

"As the time for the duel approaches, more and more experts will come. The arrow rain should only be fired once, they won't mind, but don't overdo it to avoid angering the experts!" Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his beard and said.

Ling Xiao nodded and asked, "Then who was that just now?"

"You don't mix in the martial world, so it's useless for you to know! More experts will come, do you want me to introduce them one by one?" Lu Xiaofeng sneered and moved away, his voice coming from a distance, "I'm going to follow Ye Gucheng!"

"Whatever! Don't say it, I don't care!" Ling Xiao said, turning and descending the palace gate again, first to tell the guards not to overdo it when intercepting, and secondly, because the token holders had arrived!

"Didn't expect you to join the fun too, is this your sister-in-law? We really have a connection!" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and greeted Ji Xiaoming, who was accompanied by a woman in a pink dress, so beautiful it was almost insane! This level of beauty was naturally unforgettable, and wasn't she the woman who had asked him for directions on the street before?

Ji Xiaoming was slightly taken aback, "She... is my friend!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao keenly noticed a flash of disappointment in the woman's eyes, but she controlled her emotions well and quickly returned to normal.

Ling Xiao was taken aback, thinking, "Is this guy so picky? He's not satisfied with this level of beauty?" He smiled and said to the woman, "I didn't expect you to know Xiaoming. Did you ask for directions to find Xiaoming last time?"

"Yes! Xiaoming often mentions a friend in the capital, I am Su Xuyuan! Nice to meet you, Brother Ling!" Her voice was still so melodious!

"Oh? What does he say about me? He doesn't say I'm a slacker who does nothing all day, right!" Ling Xiao stared into Xiaoming's eyes and said slowly.

Su Xuyuan was slightly taken aback, "You guessed right!"

Ling Xiao, seeing her expression, knew it was as expected and coldly sneered, "This kid isn't a good one either! Sister, listen to me, don't let him fool you!"

Su Xuyuan smiled without a word, and Xiaoming rolled his eyes, "You sure know how to take advantage! By the way, this palace gate is a place of trouble, why are you the only one guarding it?"

"Only one?" Ling Xiao turned his head in confusion, and the experts had all run away at some point, leaving only Baihu with the Jin Yi Wei guards meditating! But with Baihu's initial innate strength, if he encountered a powerful expert, he wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap!

Ling Xiao's lips twitched, and he turned back and laughed, "No problem, you're here too! Looking at Sister's heroic posture, your skills must be pretty good, right!" He grinned at the two of them.

Ji Xiaoming and Su Xuyuan exchanged a bitter smile, "Looks like we can't just watch the show today!"

With Ji Xiaoming and Su Xuyuan's help, the palace gate was finally stable! Actually, it was mainly due to Su Xuyuan's efforts. The token-holding martial artists, despite their imposing demeanor, turned into drooling wolves when they saw a beautiful woman! They were either showing off their bravery in front of the beauty or trying to chat her up, leaving no energy to cause trouble!

Su Xuyuan seemed to be used to such scenes, smiling and politely declining each young man without offending them.

"How far have you two progressed?" Ling Xiao whispered to Xiaoming.

Xiaoming's face darkened, and he forced a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, she's my sister-in-law, my cousin's fiancée!"

Ling Xiao was surprised, looking at Xiaoming's unnatural expression and laughed, "Oh! I didn't expect that. It seems you two have a good relationship! Your sister-in-law came to the capital all alone to find you!"

Xiaoming, hearing this, looked at Ling Xiao with a lecherous expression, "What does that mean?"

"Nothing! I just naturally show this expression when I encounter gossip. If you can't handle it, just ignore it! By the way, how did you two meet?" Ling Xiao asked seriously.

"Met when we were young!"

"Is that all?"

"What else could there be!" Xiaoming said unhappily.

"Alright! I won't ask. What was the first encounter like?"

"..."

Ling Xiao's curiosity was not satisfied, as there was another anomaly in the distance!

It was a light! A soft, emerald green light!

It flashed in the distance and reappeared not far away!

Ling Xiao was startled; this speed was even faster than the previous cloud ball! It seemed to be another powerful expert from somewhere!

"This I can't help you with! I'm not ready to die yet!" Xiaoming patted Ling Xiao's shoulder helplessly.

Ling Xiao disdainfully "tched" and raised his hand, and the guards behind him routinely drew their bows and shot arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Alright, the arrows were all wasted! The green light was too fast, and not a single arrow hit!

Ling Xiao watched the green light disappear into the palace and felt a wave of sadness. This Earth seemed too dangerous! Maybe we should go back to Mars!

It was clear that the green light was very disciplined, not releasing any pressure as it passed over the crowd, unlike the previous cloud ball which was so grand!

"How come they are all so powerful? Do all experts at the Grandmaster level fly?" Ling Xiao frowned and asked.

Xiaoming said matter-of-factly, "The Grandmaster level and the innate level are completely different concepts. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but the biggest difference seems to be in true qi. If we have the fortune to reach this level in the future, we can discuss it then!"

Ling Xiao coldly sneered, "It seems you're really suffering in the Ji family! You're already at the peak of the innate level, but the Ji family doesn't even tell you how to advance to the Grandmaster level! What's your situation in the Ji family?"

"Hard to explain!" Xiaoming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Damn! Hard to explain, then explain more!"

Ling Xiao's complaint hadn't finished when there was another anomaly in the distance!

"Damn, is this ever going to end! Alright, you can't help me this time, right!" Ling Xiao glared at Xiaoming.

"About this person, I really can't help you!" Xiaoming sighed again.

Ling Xiao was slightly surprised, "What? Do you know this person?"

"Know! This senior is very famous in the martial world and has some connection with the Ji family!" This time, it was Su Xuyuan who spoke, her eyes showing a hint of admiration as she looked at the person, then at Xiaoming, with a hint of tenderness and expectation.

"Hehe! Interesting!" Ling Xiao mentally cheered.

Rustle! Rustle!

The person wore a slightly tattered black robe that flapped in the wind, the robe was wide and heavy, dragging on the ground and raising a trail of dust! This was the only normal person, why? Because he showed his face! This was the only expert Ling Xiao saw clearly!

Disheveled hair, arched eyebrows, he looked like a true expert at first glance! But the stubble made Ling Xiao a bit uncomfortable, do experts like the Gothic style?

This man also rode the wind, seemingly taking light steps but covering vast distances! In the blink of an eye, he stood on the palace gate, lightly turned his head to look down, frowned at Xiaoming and Su Xuyuan, shook his head, and disappeared again!

"I can't take it anymore! Coming and going as they please! What is this place, a public toilet?"

(Without realizing it, it's already 100 chapters. The performance isn't great, but I hope everyone continues to support me!)
