Chapter 12722 I don’t have that ability

Vice Dean Qingyu looked at Hu Ying in front of him, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He smiled and asked, "Vice Dean Hu Ying, what's wrong with you? Why are you shouting for help in the cemetery?"

Hu Ying no longer cared about the hatred between him and Qingyu. He shouted at Qingyu, "Qingyu, the grudge between us is just a small matter. But if I die here today, you should know how big a disturbance it will cause! The hatred between the Tiger Tribe and the Tianxia Association will be intensified because of this. Can you afford the consequences?"

His voice was filled with fear and anger, and he obviously no longer had the authority he once had. However, his words made everyone present feel a little uneasy.

The cooperation between the Tiger Tribe and the Tianxia Association has lasted for hundreds of years. If it is destroyed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Vice Dean Qingyu frowned. Although he had a deep disgust for Hu Ying and even hoped that Hu Ying would disappear forever, he was also clear about Hu Ying's identity and status.

Hu Ying is different from Hu Jing. If Hu Jing dies, the Tiger tribe may only have some slight fluctuations, but if Hu Ying dies, the consequences will be disastrous.

As the overlord of the world, the Tiger Clan's power and influence are so huge that no other force dares to underestimate it.

If Hu Ying was killed on the territory of Tianxiahui, the Tiger Clan would definitely come to demand punishment. By then, although Tianxiahui would be powerful, it would not be possible to easily offend such a powerful clan.

Qingyu sighed helplessly. He looked at Ling Xiao, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He knew Ling Xiao's strength and methods, and he also knew Ling Xiao's hatred for Hu Ying. But he also knew that if Ling Xiao really killed Hu Ying, it would bring endless trouble to the Tianxia Association.

"Ling Xiao, no matter what happened, let Vice Dean Hu Ying go first." Vice Dean Qingyu said in a deep voice, "You should know that the last time you killed Hu Jing, you already caused a terrible disaster. If you really kill Vice Dean Hu Ying this time, the trouble will be even greater."

His words were full of exhortations and warnings. He hoped that Ling Xiao could calm down and not make impulsive decisions. After all, although Ling Xiao was gifted and powerful, Tianxiahui was not his world alone, and he still needed to consider Tianxiahui.

"Deputy Dean Qingyu, the doubt and scrutiny in your eyes are like a knife, which completely hurt my young heart. Do you really think that I, a disciple at the peak of Feitian Realm, can easily kill Deputy Dean Huying at the fourth level of Hunyuan Realm in this cemetery?"

Ling Xiao looked at Vice President Qingyu, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, as if he was playing a carefully designed puzzle.

He sighed, his voice full of powerlessness and innocence: "Deputy Dean, you also know that my strength is meager, only at the peak of the Flying Sky Realm. Facing a powerful being like Vice Dean Hu Ying, how dare I be disrespectful? Not to mention killing him, I don't even have the courage to get close to him."

He looked around, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces, as if looking for resonance. "It's not me who really wants to kill him. There seems to be a powerful force hidden in this cemetery, and it's the mastermind behind it."

Ling Xiao's voice was low and mysterious, as if revealing an unknown secret.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They looked at Ling Xiao, their eyes full of surprise and confusion. Yes, how could Ling Xiao defeat Vice Dean Hu Ying, who was at the fourth level of the Primordial Realm? This was simply like a fairy tale.

"I'm leaving now. What's happening here has nothing to do with me." Ling Xiao said, turning around to leave. His figure looked even more lonely and determined under the moonlight. And the Underworld Dragon, as if it had received an order, instantly disappeared into the night.

Vice President Qingyu and the others looked at each other, and they all understood a fact in their hearts: Ling Xiao might just be a pawn in this conspiracy, and the real mastermind was hiding in the dark, quietly observing everything.

Just as everyone was astonished by Ling Xiao's words, a vague figure suddenly appeared in the depths of the cemetery.

This figure exuded a powerful aura, as if it was a god walking out of the underworld, carrying with him an extremely terrifying power, which terrified the masters of the lower house present.

This figure was actually Qiu Shui Kui. She was originally just a spirit body, and she was like a fish in water in this cemetery, and began her own ghost cultivation journey.

After a long period of training, she has broken through the peak of the martial spirit realm and entered a new realm. Her aura is powerful and deep, as if it can devour all life.

"He disturbed my meditation and he still wants to live. Are you overthinking it?" Qiu Shuikui's voice was cold and clear, and every word seemed to carry cold murderous intent.

She raised her hand and slapped him. Wherever the palm wind passed, the air seemed to be torn apart. In the face of this terrifying force, Vice Dean Hu Ying was instantly wiped out, without even a chance to resist.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock, their hearts filled with fear and awe. They had never thought that such a terrifying power was hidden in this cemetery.

No one expected that there was such a terrifying spirit in this cemetery. No one had ever thought about it before.

However, Okra did not stay for long.

After releasing that palm, her figure became vague again and finally disappeared into the depths of the cemetery.

Although she was already very powerful, she stayed outside for shorter periods of time because she knew that her strength was not enough to support her existence in this world for a long time.

She needs to return to the cemetery and continue her ghost cultivation path, hoping that one day she can truly control her own destiny.

Because the way of ghost cultivation goes against the will of heaven, the slightest mistake will lead to heaven's punishment. Qiu Shuikui knew very well that if he stayed in the outside world for too long, he would suffer the devastating thunder tribulation.

That thunder tribulation is not something that an ordinary cultivator can easily survive. For a ghost cultivator like her, it is an even more deadly threat.

If an ordinary cultivator has a 50% chance of surviving the thunder tribulation, then for Qiu Shuikui, the survival rate of this thunder tribulation is probably less than 10%.

This is why she didn't dare stay outside for too long.

Before, she could barely hold on and fight in the outside world for a few hours, but as her cultivation level improved and her ghost power was exposed, she found that the connection between her and the world was getting weaker and weaker, and the time she could endure in the outside world was greatly shortened.

Now, she can only fight in the outside world for a quarter of an hour at most, and then she must return to the depths of the cemetery, otherwise she will face the catastrophic disaster of thunder.

And Ling Xiao was still pretending to cry at this moment, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

His face was full of tears, but his eyes were glittering with cunning, and his voice was full of helplessness and innocence: "Boss, you have seen it, this is really none of my business. How dare I kill the vice president? Even if I want to kill him, I have to have the ability to do so. I almost died here myself."
