World Controlling God

2After killing Gu Hsing, Ling Xiao had gained a new understanding of his own strength.    

    

He could defeat a low-level Profound Monarch, but there was still a big gap between him and a Profound Monarch of Middle Rank.    

    

One should know that Gu Hsing was only a pseudo-Profound Monarch of Middle Rank. He relied on the Pill to break through at the last moment.    

    

If it was a true Profound Monarch of Middle Rank, Ling Xiao would probably find it hard to defend without using his mind power.    

    

"I'll wait until I'm stronger before I challenge a Profound Monarch of Middle Rank!" Ling Xiao thought. Zhong sighed.    

    

Before this, he had used the Innate Yin Wind Bead to absorb a large amount of death energy, thinking that his strength could be replenished a little more. But in the end, there was only a little bit of energy feedback.    

    

Ling Xiao did not complain. The Innate Yin Wind Bead had consumed too much energy when dealing with medicinal Golden Rend Nether Pearls. This Death Qi was only used to restore it and increase its strength. It was normal that there was no excess energy feedback.    

    

As for Gu Xiaohe, Ling Xiao didn't chase after her.    

    

In any case, it was only a matter of time before the war with the Gu family began. There was still one more day to face them. At that time, he would finish them off completely.    

    

Gu Hsing was already dead. His medicinal Protective Spirit Beast was naturally going to die as well. The master-servant contract was so unfair.    

    

Ling Xiao took out the Lion Spirit Beast's medicinal Beast Core and fed it to the medicinal Golden Wolf King. It was also time for it to quickly enter the ranks of the seventh step.    

    

If it reached such a crucial bottleneck, it would need to consume even more Beast Cores. Moreover, the Golden Wolf King was a double-attribute Spirit Beast. The number of Beast Cores needed to advance was one or two times more than ordinary Spirit Beasts.    

    

After finishing all of this, Ling Xiao brought Fang Chen back to Wind Cloud City.    

    

Outside of Wind Cloud City City, there was a stretch of Snake Mouth Black Crows and the corpses of many Bloodthirsty Bats on the ground. Many traces of blood were still trickling down, and the pungent smell made people want to vomit.    

    

Among these two types of medicinal Spirit Beasts' corpses, there were also quite a number of human martial artists' corpses and severed limbs.    

    

Clearly, there were still quite a number of casualties during that great battle just now.    

    

Xuan Yao ordered people to take out all of the medicinal Spirit Beasts on those medicinal Beast Cores' corpses and cut off the materials that those corpses could still be used.    

    

These were all not small amounts of wealth!    

    

"Young Master hasn't returned for so long, why don't I rush over and take a look?" Feng Ya frowned and said to Xuan Yao.    

    

After the trip to the basement, Feng Ya had completely admired and respected Ling Xiao. His loyalty to Ling Xiao had also soared. He had long forgotten about the Ten Year Agreement. He was determined to follow Ling Xiao and go to great lengths.    

    

Xuan Yao shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to young master.    

    

Feng Ya hesitated for a moment and did not say anything else.    

    

Feng Wuying and Feng Yaxin, who were on the city wall, were shocked by the massacre.    

    

"I didn't expect Ling Xiao to be able to do this. I'm afraid that in less than a hundred years, he will be comparable to our Feng family." Feng Wuying couldn't help but sigh.    

    

Ling Xiao was only so young now. And two to three years ago, he was only a Earth Emperor of Middle Rank. Now, not only was he a Celestial Sovereign of High Rank, but he also had a group of capable men under him. He had even taken over the city as his king.    

    

This made Feng Wuying sigh with emotion, and he felt a sense of respect towards Ling Xiao in his heart.    

    

Feng Yaxin also nodded and said, "I keep feeling that what I see now isn't Ling Xiao's full strength. Perhaps, he has more things that we can't think of. I can only say that the Ancient Slaughter Order that the Gu family released will probably lose its effectiveness from now on. Perhaps this is also the most wrong thing that they have done.    

    

"Haha, it's possible that we, the so-called 18 great powers, have been living in peace for too long. Our Feng family has always been ranked at the bottom. If it wasn't for our aunt overseeing it, Originally, our clan had placed their hopes on our cousin. However, she didn't grow up in our Feng family. Yaxin... The Feng family's future depends on you and me!" Feng Wuying took a sip of wine and said with a determined expression.    

    

He had indulged himself too much these years. Perhaps it was time to regain his confidence and work hard again.    

    

Feng Yaxin looked at Ji Beixin's figure that was not far away and muttered, "Perhaps our Feng family's rise is really as aunt said. Sister Xin might be our Feng family's lucky star!    

    

In her beautiful eyes, there was a hint of inexplicable complexity, as if there was envy and confusion...    

    

Whoosh! Whoosh!    

    

The sound of two wind blowing came from the distance.    

    

When everyone saw Faang Chen who was following behind Ling Xiao, their expressions changed slightly.    

    

Cann Bao had just rode up on the Devil Armor Leopard, raising the Bloodthirsty Devil Knife and shouting, "Young Master, move aside, let me kill him!    

    

Liu Qun, Yang Xianfeng, and Wang Teng also surrounded Faang Chen from several directions, in case he escaped.    

    

Ling Xiao stopped them and said, "Don't be impulsive. Faang Chen is one of us.    

    

The Imperial Rank's expression stiffened. They couldn't understand what he meant.    

    

Cann Bao said anxiously, "Young master, the people from the Killing Heavens didn't betray us. If they failed their mission and were captured, they would usually choose to commit suicide. He must be faking it...    

    

Before he could finish, Ling Xiao interrupted him. I know what you are worried about. Faang Chen has been influenced by my words. He sincerely surrendered to us. There is no need for all of you to say anything about this. I know what I'm doing!    

    

Faang Chen had already used the High Level Spirit Spell. In Faang Chen's eyes, Ling Xiao was even closer to him than his parents. How could he betray them?    

    

Unless Ling Xiao died one day, Faang Chen would be able to break free from Ling Xiao's control.    

    

Cann Bao hesitated for a moment and seemed to understand something from Ling Xiao's determined eyes. He immediately bowed to Ling Xiao and did not say anything else.    

    

Since Cann Bao had expressed his stance, Liu Qun, Yang Xianfeng, and Wang Teng naturally didn't say anything else.    

    

However, they were all puzzled in their hearts. How did their young master subdue this Jin Sha assassin? They wouldn't believe that a Profound Monarch would be willing to follow him just because of his glib tongue.    

    

Ling Xiao had just returned to the edge of the city wall. Xuan Yao glanced at Faang Chen with a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, he was not as worried as Cann Bao and the others. Instead, he said happily, "Congratulations, young master. You have obtained another assistant.    

    

Ling Xiao looked at him and smiled. "Fraud Tian is Fraud Tian. It seems that nothing can be hidden from you." He paused for a moment and asked, "How were the casualties just now?    

    

"Fifty-six Celestial Sovereign and more than four hundred Earthly Sovereign died. The others were more or less injured," Xuan Yao replied.    

    

Ling Xiao nodded slightly and said indifferently, "En. "I got it, stopping those tens of thousands of spirit beasts at this price is already enough to be proud of. Go back and count the names, go back and we'll reward you for your meritorious deeds!    

    

In fact, if Ling Xiao had asked Feng Ya to take action at the beginning, he was afraid that there would not be any casualties.    

    

However, Ling Xiao didn't want to reveal his trump card too early. He wanted others to know that there were saint-level masters in Fengyun City. At the same time, he wanted to know if all the people they recruited had the resolve to work for him.    

    

If they couldn't even stop these small dangers, how could they guard the city for him and work for him loyally in the future?    

    

A general's success was worth a thousand ashes!    

    

The road to becoming an emperor was destined to bleed to death. Those without strength would naturally be eliminated.    

    

Ling Xiao did not plan to be able to guard one side by himself forever.    

    

Only by experiencing the baptism of battle would everyone maintain a high sense of crisis. Whoever did not want to die would continue to strive. Only the stronger one was, the longer one could live.    

    

...    

    

After this battle, everyone in the city realized that the strength of City Lord's Mansion was quite formidable.    

    

Many warriors, merchants, and civilians also felt that staying in Wind Cloud City would not be easy.    

    

Therefore, many people started to settle down in Wind Cloud City.    

    

At the same time, many people started to move over from other places.    

    

The Wind Cloud City began to develop steadily. All kinds of shops began to increase one after another. The number of people in the city also gradually increased. The free trade also became incomparably peaceful. Martial artists from all over the place also came and went in an endless stream.    

    

The north side of the Wind Cloud City was the Death Mountain Range. It was a place where many martial artists liked to look for treasures. As the Wind Cloud City became the closest place to settle down, it naturally developed very quickly because of this.    

    

Properties like restaurants and brothels also started to thrive incomparably.    

    

The City Lord's Mansion did not directly interfere with the participation of foreign merchants. They only cared about collecting a certain amount of income every month. At the same time, they also sent people to manage a few of the largest industries.    

    

Apart from these, the biggest income of City Lord's Mansion was the high amount of Profound Crystals collected by the transmission array, the fee for entering the city, and the monthly income from the auction. These were the main sources of income for every city.    

    

...    

    

When everything was on track, Ling Xiao rarely managed the affairs in the city.    

    

Xuan Yao was in charge of the defense and management of the fortifications.    

    

Xuan Yao's power was only second to Ling Xiao's. A few Profound Monarch Rank warriors had to be respectful to him.    

    

Xuan Yao first set up a large-scale Tier 7 formation around the city to prevent any more enemies from attacking. He also set up all kinds of formations in the City Lord's Mansion. At the same time, he appointed a group of Celestial Sovereign warriors to be the elders of City Lord's Mansion Prefecture. They were in charge of the operation of everything in the city.    

    

Every important position was selected by Ling Xiao and the others. They would only be hired after enduring the test of loyalty.    

    

Not only that, Xuan Yao also selected a group of martial artists with good qualifications and began to let them cultivate the formation.    

    

Once these offensive array formations were successfully refined, they would be able to work together to block martial artists of a higher rank than them.    

    

Xuan Yao did this without any hesitation, in order to prepare for many provocations in the future.    

    

As Ling Xiao's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, Cai Xiayue, Bai Yuxi, Bing Ruoshui and Yao Qingmin who were slower in their advancement did not dare to delay any longer. They all entered into a closed state, striving not to be left too far behind by Ling Xiao. Otherwise, one day, they would lose the footsteps to follow Ling Xiao. At that time, they would only be eliminated.    

    

Ling Xiao would never be stingy with his own women. He provided them with many good cultivation resources, allowing them to increase their strength faster.    

    

It was a stable overflow, and there were not many shocking waves.    

    

Just as Ling Xiao was about to choose to enter seclusion and meditate, a person suddenly came to visit.
