Chapter 12854 You are really pretentious

However, Ling Xiao awakened his martial soul with the cultivation level of Hunyuan Realm, which was beyond his imagination.

"And he's only seventeen!" Jiang Zhunian was even more shocked. He knew that in the martial arts world, warriors who could awaken their martial spirits at such a young age were all geniuses. But Ling Xiao had done this, which was simply unbelievable to him.

Jiang Zhunian's face darkened. He didn't like the feeling of being slapped in the face. He had always claimed to be the wise man of the Jiang family, and naturally disdained a "wild boy" like Ling Xiao. However, at this moment, Ling Xiao slapped him in the face with his strength. This made him feel very unhappy and angry.

"Humph, you are just as unruly and undisciplined as your mother." Jiang Zhunian said coldly, "Okay, I won't waste my words on you. This time I came here to take you home! Come with me!"

The old man's tone was full of command, and his words revealed an unquestionable majesty. He believed that if he said such words, Ling Xiao would have to obey. However, he didn't know that Ling Xiao was never someone who would give in easily.

"Haha, not interested!" Ling Xiao's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and his sneer echoed in the air. The other party's arrogance and contempt further confirmed his guess that this man named Jiang Zhunian came to him with absolutely no good intentions.

Jiang Zhunian's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with a cold light that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

He sneered, "Not interested? That's not up to you! Do you think Tianxiahui can protect you? Don't dream. Their meager strength can't protect you at all!"

His words were full of contempt and disdain for the Tianxiahui, as if in their eyes, the Tianxiahui was just a small and insignificant character.

The headmaster frowned upon hearing this and could not help but say, "Brother Jiang, why do you have to do this? This boy is extremely talented and rare in the world. If he can return to the Jiang family and be fully trained by the family, it is not impossible for him to dominate the East China Sea in the future. You are so aggressive, aren't you afraid of missing out on a genius?"

His words were full of admiration and expectations for Ling Xiao, as well as persuasion for Jiang Zhunian.

However, Jiang Zhunian was not moved at all. He looked at the headmaster coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He said calmly, "My Jiang family's affairs are decided by my Jiang family. It is not your turn to interfere. As for this boy, if he is willing to return to the Jiang family, I will naturally welcome him. If he is not willing, I have plenty of ways to make him surrender."

His words were full of confidence and dominance, as if everything was under his control.

The headmaster's heart sank when he heard this. He knew Jiang Zhunian's strength and methods very well. If he really made up his mind to deal with Ling Xiao, then Ling Xiao's situation would be very dangerous.

He looked at Ling Xiao, and saw that Ling Xiao was still calm and composed, as if he didn't care about Jiang Zhunian's threats at all. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Ling Xiao, is indeed an extraordinary person.

Jiang Zhunian naturally knew how terrifying Ling Xiao's talent was. He knew that if Ling Xiao was placed in the vast world of the East China Sea, his talent and potential would be absolutely unique. However, it was this talent that made him deeply afraid of Ling Xiao.

Because Ling Xiao is not only Jiang Xiruo's son, but also an indelible shadow in his heart. Jiang Xiruo, the woman who once plunged the Jiang family into turmoil, is now imprisoned by the Jiang family. As her son, how could Ling Xiao have no grudges against the Jiang family?

Jiang Zhunian knew that with Ling Xiao's strong temper, if he knew his mother's situation, how could he be willing to work for the Jiang family? Moreover, as time went by, Ling Xiao's strength would inevitably continue to increase. When he became stronger, he would come back to seek revenge on the Jiang family, which would be a disaster that the Jiang family could not bear.

What worries Jiang Zhunian even more is that Ling Xiao is such a troublemaker. Not only did he provoke a giant like the Empress' Palace, but he is also said to have a deep hatred with the Holy Hall. Such an enemy is undoubtedly a fatal threat to the Jiang family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Zhunian thought that instead of letting Ling Xiao become a hidden danger to the Jiang family, it would be better to eradicate this evildoer as soon as possible.

However, Jiang Zhunian also knew that now was not the best time to take action. Tianxiahui was a neutral organization, and if he took action against Ling Xiao here, it would undoubtedly arouse the disgust of Tianxiahui. Moreover, Ling Xiao was protected by masters like the Grand Dean, so it would be extremely difficult to take action here.

Therefore, Jiang Zhunian could only endure temporarily and wait for a better opportunity.

However, the killing intent in his heart became stronger and stronger. Whenever he thought of Ling Xiao's provocative and arrogant face, Jiang Zhunian's heart was filled with anger. He secretly made up his mind that once he found a suitable opportunity, he would personally eradicate this evildoer and eliminate this hidden danger for the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhunian looked at Ling Xiao with a sharp gaze. Without a trace of emotion in his tone, he slowly spoke: "Ling Xiao, if you want to linger in this world and spend the rest of your life in peace, then you only have one choice - destroy your martial arts meridians and become a complete useless person. Only in this way can you have a glimmer of hope and live a miserable life."

As soon as these words came out, the whole air seemed to freeze. The headmaster heard this and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He was secretly amazed in his heart. As expected by Ling Xiao, the Jiang family really wanted to destroy this young genius.

As an old hand in the martial arts world, the headmaster quickly analyzed the reason. He understood that Ling Xiao's talent and potential were both a huge asset and a potential threat to the Jiang family.

If Ling Xiao was just an ordinary disciple, he might be able to stay safe in the Jiang family, but he was too evil and too outstanding, which made the people in power in the Jiang family feel fearful and uneasy.

Throughout history, there have been many talented people who were envied because they were too dazzling, and ended up with a tragic end. Some people had to choose to pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to survive. Only those who have experienced it can truly understand the helplessness and sadness in this.

The headmaster looked at Ling Xiao and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. This young man should have been a shining star in the martial arts world, but now he was facing such a difficult choice.

"Hahahaha!" Ling Xiao's laughter echoed in the empty lobby, like a violent storm, instantly sweeping across the entire space.

There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He stared at Jiang Zhunian with a mocking arc on his lips: "You, the Jiang family of Donghai, are really pretentious. Jiang Zhunian, why don't you go and ask, how many self-righteous forces have I destroyed to get to where I am today? You want to destroy me? You are just dreaming!" (End of this chapter)
