Chapter 12735 Forced to counterattack
There were more than a dozen young men and women present, two or three of whom had a more terrifying aura than Bai Lian, and were obviously strong men in the Holy Son Society. Their eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, which made everyone present feel a little depressed.

"You really won't give it to me?" Bai Lian's voice trembled a little. "My life is my own and I don't want to take risks. I have already prepared the spirit stones and want to hand them over." She looked up at the people from the Holy Son Society, her eyes full of pleading.

However, a young man in red sneered disdainfully. He glanced at Bai Lian with contempt and said, "Bai Lian, although I don't know how powerful Ling Xiao is, you are my sister, and I will naturally protect you. We can't let Young Master Ou handle everything in the Saint Son Association. That would be too embarrassing."

"Brother!" Bai Lian called softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

The young man in red, her cousin Red Crow, practiced a special method. Although his realm was comparable to hers, his strength was much higher than hers and could almost be compared with Zhang Luan.

Bai Lian looked at Red Crow with some worry in her heart. She couldn't help but said, "Zhang Luan is already dead, where on earth do you get the courage to think you can be a match for Ling Xiao?"

Hearing this, Red Crow frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. He snorted coldly: "Zhang Luan? Humph, he is just a reckless man. I practice a special method, which is naturally not comparable to him. As for Ling Xiao, I naturally have my own way to deal with him."

Bai Lian looked at Hong Wu Ya's confident look, but she became even more worried. She knew that although her cousin was very powerful, Ling Xiao was not an easy person to deal with. Moreover, there was a powerful force behind Ling Xiao, and it was not something that a small family like theirs could easily provoke.

She advised again: "Brother, we should not act rashly. Ling Xiao is not someone you can easily mess with. Once he is angered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Red Crow waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, I know my limits. You don't have to say anything more. I have my own plans."

Bai Lian saw that Red Crow was so stubborn, so she didn't say anything more. She knew in her heart that no matter what she said, she couldn't change Red Crow's decision.

She could only pray silently, hoping that things would not develop to the point of no return.

"He's coming!" This exclamation echoed in the quiet street, like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, breaking the original tranquility.

Bai Lian was originally sitting quietly in the corner of the tavern, holding a half-cooled glass of wine in her hand. Suddenly, she stood up abruptly, and the expression on her face changed from calm to a barely perceptible fear.

Her gaze passed over the noisy crowd around her and went straight to the figure walking slowly towards her - Ling Xiao.

Red Crow was originally chatting with a few drinkers in the tavern. When he heard Bai Lian's exclamation, he immediately turned his head, his eyes moving through the crowd, and finally fixed on the young man in black clothes and with steady steps.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by undisguised hostility, like a beast ready to attack.

Red Crow stepped out of the tavern and disappeared at the door in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Ling Xiao, his voice full of provocation: "Are you Ling Xiao?"

However, Ling Xiao did not seem to be affected by the hostility of the Red Crow. He looked past the Red Crow and looked directly in the direction of the tavern. His voice was calm and firm: "Bai Lian, Deacon Wang Heng has already given me the spirit stone. What are you going to do?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Bai Lian's heart hard. Her face turned pale instantly, and the wine glass in her hand broke because of excessive force, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

She never thought that Deacon Wang Heng actually handed over the spirit stone to Ling Xiao. This young man who had always been mysterious and powerful in her eyes actually had such terrifying strength and influence.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the shock and panic in her heart. She knew that there was no way out now. She rushed out of the tavern and came to Ling Xiao, her voice trembling: "I... I have prepared the spirit stones..."

"Bai Lian!" Red Crow's voice echoed in the empty street, full of anger and disdain.

He stared at Bai Lian in front of him and shouted angrily, "You really bring shame to our Saint Son Society! This Ling Xiao, he dared to kill Zhang Luan of our Saint Son Society, he is so audacious! We should take his head today and let him know how powerful our Saint Son Society is, instead of handing over the spirit stone so easily like you did!"

Bai Lian felt really depressed when she heard Red Crow's angry rebuke.

She knew Ling Xiao's terrifying strength very well. She remembered the fate of Zhang Luan that day. How could she dare to act rashly? A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she whispered in defense: "But... Ling Xiao is very powerful. Do we... do we really want to take the risk?"

Red Crow ignored Bai Lian's concerns. He snorted coldly, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

He moved like a flash of lightning and went straight towards Ling Xiao. His hands instantly turned into two pairs of sharp claws, like the claws of a crow, flashing with cold light.

And his whole body showed a faint shadow of a crow, as if a real crow was soaring in the sky.

He was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Ling Xiao. He roared, and swung out his claws fiercely, with a sharp gust of wind, directly hitting Ling Xiao's vital points.

Although this is not a martial spirit, the martial arts displayed by Red Crow already have the rudiments of a martial spirit, and his talent is indeed not to be underestimated.

The qualifications of the disciples of the Tianxia Upper Academy are really impressive. With Red Crow's talent and potential, it will be no problem for him to comprehend the true martial spirit in the future.

“Boy, you killed Zhang Luan, so I will kill you today, so that everyone will understand that we, the Holy Son Society, cannot be provoked.” The Red Crow roared, and its body instantly approached Ling Xiao. Its hands turned into sharp claws that flashed with cold light, and went straight for Ling Xiao’s vital points.

Facing the Red Crow's attack, Ling Xiao's eyes revealed contempt. This Red Crow, whose strength was far inferior to Zhang Luan, actually dared to dream of killing him.

Although the Red Crow's cultivation technique was special and its attacks contained some soul power, for a master of Ling Xiao's level, these means of attack were completely meaningless.

"Deacon Wang Heng, listen carefully. He wanted to kill me. I was just forced to defend myself." Ling Xiao's voice was cold and firm, without a trace of emotion. As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature around him seemed to drop a few degrees.

Before he finished speaking, the terrifying soul power in Ling Xiao's body was released instantly like a torrent. The soul power, as if it were real, turned into an invisible shock wave and slammed into the Red Crow's mind.
