Ling Xiao's rapidly increasing merits stunned some of the people who were looking at the rankings.
This speed is top-notch, even when looking at the entire list, and is extremely eye-catching.
At this point, after a fierce battle, Ling Xiao's merit points had reached 27 million.
Unfortunately, there were no more evil spirits for him to kill here, so he stopped and sensed the changes in his body.
When the evil spirit of Slaughter reaches a certain level, a faint aura appears on its body, like a curse, clinging to it.
"These are the things that attract evil spirits, similar to curses cast upon the death of evil spirits, which will attract even more powerful evil spirits to their side."
Ling Xiao tried to remove these curses, but found that as soon as he wiped away the black energy on his body, new black energy would quickly emerge, one after another.
"Strange, these curses can't be erased. If this continues, will I grow red hair all over my body and have an unfortunate old age...?"
Ling Xiao pondered inwardly, his brows furrowing slightly. He certainly didn't want an unfortunate old age!
After some research, he finally figured out that these curse-like markings were probably due to the Mythic Battlefield.
This might be the work of those Dark Lords, using this method to limit a genius like him.
"Ling Xiao! Something terrible has happened! I just received a message."
Just as Ling Xiao was sorting out his thoughts, Uncle Boya suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said something in a hurry.
"What news?" Ling Xiao asked casually, already used to this guy's constant ramblings.
"You... you're finished, you're in big trouble!" Uncle Boya laughed, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Heaven Clan members immediately flew over.
"Oh? You'd better say something useful, or you're finished."
Ling Xiao glanced at him indifferently, his expression full of threat.
Uncle Boya's lips curled into a smile, completely unafraid of Ling Xiao's threat, and he spoke loudly:
"I just received news that the Ancestor of War has gathered countless powerful figures to hunt you down on the Mythic Battlefield in order to avenge Zhan Tianyan."
Judging by the time, it should be time already, haha..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Snow Heaven Clan members changed drastically.
Even Ling Xiao showed a surprised expression, staring intently at Uncle Boya with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"You're pretty well-informed, kid. You even know this."
"Of course, I have someone outside." Uncle Boya smiled smugly, his mustache twitching, making him look exceptionally comical.
"What are you planning to do now? Should you leave to lay low for a while?"
Uncle Boya changed the subject and continued to ask.
"He's right, Ling Xiao, let's go out first. We've already earned enough merit points to report back."
Tianxue Ji quickly echoed, even shaking Ling Xiao's arm familiarly.
"Get out?" Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Why go out?
"Let's go out and lay low for a while!" Tianxue Ji said innocently, tilting her head back.
"I just killed a divine general of the True Demon Palace. Is it really safer for me to go outside than here?"
Ling Xiao said with a cold laugh.
"It seems... that makes sense." Tianxue Ji lowered her head, speechless, suddenly realizing that going out would probably be even more dangerous.
They might be wanted and hunted down by the entire Mysterious Heaven Realm.
Thinking about it only makes me more desperate.
"Bring it on, I'll deal with it. I'll wait for them here. I'll kill them one by one, two by two, until no one dares to mess with me again!"
Ling Xiao said coldly, his demonic nature suddenly rising, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
There is no justice in this world; only by killing to stop killing, until there are no more adversaries, can there be true peace.
"You're really something else. I've lived this long and I've never met anyone as fearless as you."
Uncle Boya Ya was speechless. He had intended to tell Ling Xiao this news to scare him, but he didn't expect that the guy wouldn't be afraid at all, and instead became excited.
I've never seen such a pervert!
"That's right, a bunch of worthless scoundrels who dared to try and kill my master! They're blind as idiots!"
Golden Horn Dao Lord suddenly shouted loudly, his arrogance outrageous.
"You damn horse, you're up to no good! Trying to flatter my brother to death?" Uncle Boya kicked the horse's rump, taking the opportunity to get revenge.
"Get out of here! Do you even have the right to speak here?" Golden Horn Dao Lord kicked out with his hind leg at an odd angle, striking Uncle Boya in the face and sending him flying.
"Damn it! Are you looking for death?" Uncle Boya roared, rolling up his sleeves as if to fight.
"Come on, come on! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll hit you! Let's see who kills whom!"
Golden Horn Dao Lord was not afraid at all. Relying on his master's power, the horse's eyes were full of disdain.
"Enough!" Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he slapped the horse's head, almost making Golden Horn Dao Lord's horse eyes pop out.
"In short, ignore the Ancestor of War's kill order. Unless the Ancestor of War himself comes, it's useless for anyone else to do anything!"
Ling Xiao spoke calmly, trying to soothe everyone's emotions.
After hearing his confident words, some of the Snow Heaven Clan disciples who had been worried and fearful calmed their excited hearts.
"We don't need to fear the pursuit of the Ancestor of War, but what about the True Demon Palace?"
At this moment, Tianxue Yaoyue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her expression somewhat grim.
"I'm afraid we're not the only ones in danger; the clan leader and the others will likely be purged, given the True Demon Palace's modus operandi..."
I hadn't realized this problem before, but after hearing Ling Xiao say it, I finally understood.
The True Demon Palace is composed of a group of reformed demons who act ruthlessly and mercilessly, and are extremely cruel when they take action, often wiping out entire families without leaving any survivors.
When they can't find Ling Xiao, they'll inevitably take their anger out on the Snow Heaven Clan outside.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Ah! Could it be that Mother and the others have already...?"
Tianxue Ji's expression changed drastically; her already snow-white skin appeared even paler.
"I mean, I'm afraid, it's not certain yet!" Tianxue Yaoyue roared.
"It's too early to talk about that now. I'll return to the Mysterious Heaven Realm after I've finished dealing with things here."
Ling Xiao paused for a moment before slowly speaking.
"The True Demon Palace is one of the Twelve Divine Hall, and it is bound by the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Realm. It is unlikely that it would take action against the Snow Heaven Clan."
He analyzed it this way: if the True Demon Palace truly had no taboos, they wouldn't have let him go last time when they were with the Snow Heaven Clan.
It's clear that they still have a bottom line and dare not go too far.
Everyone nodded and stopped thinking about it.
"That's great! Let's go find the treasure while we still have time!"
"Don't kill the evil spirits! I have a feeling that if we keep killing like this, we'll be targeted by a powerful evil spirit."
Uncle Boya approached, grinning obsequiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked in one direction.
A headless creature riding a necromancer walked slowly toward them.
In a daze, it seemed as if a towering mountain of corpses and Sea of Blood were rolling and roaring behind him, a strange phenomenon that shocked the heavens.
