Chapter 12790 Seeking Death for Petty Gains

The knife was so fast that everyone present could only see a flashing red arc. Then, Ming Lao's head separated from his body and rolled to the ground.

This scene stunned everyone present. They stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

What shocked them was that Ling Xiao actually dared to kill people here. You have to know that this is the territory of the trading house. Who among ordinary people would dare to act wildly here?

But what shocked them even more was that Ling Xiao's strength was so terrifying. After all, Old Ming was a master at the peak of the Infinite Realm, but he couldn't even block a single blow and was cut down by the sword.

However, Ling Xiao did not stop there.

He glanced at the people around him with cold eyes. The dozen or so warriors in the Unresting Realm who were originally planning to attack him were now standing there with pale faces, not daring to move. But Ling Xiao did not give them any chance. He moved and disappeared again.

This time, when he appeared, there were already corpses lying around him. The dozen or so people who tried to attack him were all killed by him one by one, without any one being spared.

Their storage rings were also taken away by Ling Xiao. He opened them and took a look. There were not many spirit stones inside, only tens of thousands in total.

Ling Xiao sneered and put away the storage ring casually, thinking to himself: "What a poor guy, no wonder he coveted those 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

At this moment, the entire trading house fell into a dead silence. Everyone was shocked by Ling Xiao's terrifying strength. They had never seen such a powerful and ruthless person.

After the bloody storm, the atmosphere in the trading house became extremely tense. Ling Xiao's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and finally fixed on the woman. He raised a grim smile, and his voice was cold and cruel: "Next, how should I deal with you?"

The woman was locked in Ling Xiao's gaze. She felt as if she was being stared at by a hungry beast, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze.

Her voice was shaking with fear, and she begged incoherently, "Don't... don't kill me, I... I was also forced, I was just following orders."

There was endless fear and despair in her voice. Who could have thought that a seemingly ordinary young man would dare to kill people in a place like the Tianxiahui Trading House.

This not only requires great courage, but also absolute confidence in one's strength. Ling Xiao killed more than a dozen people at once, and showed no mercy. He was simply a complete madman, a killer who made people tremble with fear.

However, Ling Xiao was not shaken by the woman's pleading. He sneered and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But you have to pay back the debt you owe me."

The woman felt a little relieved when she heard this, but Ling Xiao's words immediately afterwards made her fall into despair again: "Your trading house owes me three million mid-grade spirit stones. You have to pay it back."

The woman widened her eyes, looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, and stammered, "No... isn't it three hundred thousand?"

Ling Xiao looked at her horrified expression, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "Oh, you reminded me, I just said three million, but it seems that this number is not enough. Then, let's say 30 million mid-grade spirit stones."

The woman's face turned pale instantly. She never thought that Ling Xiao would offer such a high price. This was simply forcing their trading company into a dead end.

"No, no, no, three million. Three million mid-grade spirit stones!" The woman almost cried out. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of fear and despair.

She knew that the annual profit of the entire trading company was only 10 million mid-grade spirit stones, and Ling Xiao asked for 30 million, which was an astronomical figure. They could not afford it.

The woman was panicking, but she knew that this was not the time to panic. She had to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise the trading house would be in an irreparable situation. So she turned around and walked away, walking hurriedly, as if there was an evil ghost chasing her.

After a while, the woman brought an old man. The old man was tall and had a dignified face. His long robe fluttered in the wind, revealing his profound cultivation. His aura was restrained, like a dormant volcano that could erupt with amazing power at any time.

Judging from his aura, he is obviously much stronger than the dead Master Ming.

The old man walked up to Ling Xiao, stared at him, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you from the Tianxia Society?"

Ling Xiao nodded and replied calmly: "Yes, I am a disciple of the Upper House of Tianxia Academy."

The old man's face darkened, and his voice revealed a bit of displeasure: "Since you are a member of the Tianxiahui, why do you want to kill innocent people in the Tianxiahui's trading house?"

Ling Xiao sneered and retorted, "Innocent? Ask them if they are innocent. Oh, I almost forgot, they can't speak anymore." He pointed to the corpses on the ground. Those trading house employees who were once arrogant and domineering and intended to harm him have now turned into cold corpses, lying quietly in a pool of blood.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and then continued: "Seven days ago, I commissioned a trading company to buy some things for me and paid half of the payment, which is 3 million medium-grade spirit stones.

However, when I came to get my things today, these people not only refused to give them to me, but also refused to return my spirit stones and even wanted to kill me.

As a disciple of the Tianxia Association, I have a bad temper. What I cannot stand the most is someone daring to deceive me. Since they are unwilling to follow the rules, I have no choice but to take action. "

When the old man heard Ling Xiao's doubt, his expression became even uglier. He frowned, as if trying hard to suppress his inner anger and confusion.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calm. "You claim to be a disciple of the Tianxia Association, but I have never seen you before, let alone which master you are a disciple of. As a member of the Tianxia Association, I naturally have the responsibility to uphold the reputation and rules of our sect. But before that, I need to confirm your identity."

Ling Xiao sneered, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain: "What? Are you trying to find out my background and then decide whether to attack me based on my background? This is really a good tradition of the Tianxiahui.

Although I don't know your specific identity, I see that your position in the trading industry should be quite high.

However, when such shameless fraud and betrayal occurred in the trading house, not only did you not stop it in time, but you also planned to retaliate against me. Is this really the attitude that the Tianxiahui should have? "

Ling Xiao's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the old man's heart. The old man's face turned pale and blue, and it was obvious that he was deeply hurt by Ling Xiao's words.

He clenched his teeth and tried to keep himself calm, but the anger in his eyes was difficult to hide.
