Chapter 2638 - 2641: An Ugly Death, the Furious Boye Family

At this moment, Boye Liuli's screams remained hysterical, but they grew increasingly powerless.

The terrifying plague bacteria had completely transformed Boye Liuli into a skeletal monster.

Throughout her life, she cherished and protected her beauty more than anything, willing to ruin others' looks to prevent them from surpassing her.

This could be considered retribution.

She died looking like a monster.

Around her, nearly a hundred people suffered unimaginable pain because of the Bloodthirsty Plague Rat.

All because of their loose tongues.

Fortunately, it was only loose tongues; Ling Xiao didn't kill them.

But Boye Liuli suffered miserably, screaming in agony from the Bloodthirsty Plague Rat for a full quarter-hour before finally dying.

When Boye Chen arrived at the scene upon hearing the report, Ling Xiao had already been gone for a good half hour.

This was because Ling Xiao did not retract the Bloodthirsty Plague Rats he released when he left, trapping the onlooking disciples from Secret Realm Academy.

A half-hour was the time he bought.

By now, he had already reached the Wisdom Sage King Mansion.

When the Wise King Edward Chen Endless saw Ling Xiao return unharmed, the astonishment was truly genuine, not feigned.

It was impossible to hide.

Ling Xiao glanced at the Wise King coldly and said indifferently, "You're disappointed, aren't you? It wasn't me who died, but those Wu Ming people. They deserved it!"

"You killed them?"

The Wise King frowned and asked.

"Yes, I killed them. Does His Highness have any objections?"

Ling Xiao retorted.

"Those were my top six subordinates, and you dared kill them?"

Although the Wise King Edward Chen Endless had been patient with Ling Xiao because of Yue Fanɡ Hua, he was struggling to hold back now.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I think His Highness should be concerned not with their deaths but with the Boye Family seeking revenge!"

Ling Xiao suddenly sneered.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Canglan frowned, realizing he might have been tricked by Ling Xiao.

"What can I mean? I killed Boye Liuli, do you think Boye Chen won't come to trouble you?"

Ling Xiao said calmly, "As far as I know, the Boye Family is under the Fourteenth Prince's power; they'll surely use this opportunity to cause you trouble."

"Why should I take the fall for the problems you've stirred!"

The Wise King, renowned for his wisdom, never imagined he'd be schemed against by Ling Xiao.

"Heh, you should ask yourself why. The entire Thunder City knows that I, Ling Xiao, am one of your people.

Even if you deny it, others are unlikely to believe you."

Ling Xiao chuckled.

"You bastard! Do you think I won't kill you right now and hand you over to the Boye Family!"

Chen Canglan's face darkened; he despised being manipulated.

"You won't."

Ling Xiao replied calmly.

"Why not?"

"Because you're smart; you know it's not easy to kill me. But if you use this situation to curb the Boye Family's arrogance, isn't it obviously more beneficial for you?"

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Though unwilling to admit it, Chen Canglan knew Ling Xiao was right.

During Ling Xiao's absence, he had been trying to get close to Yue Fanɡ Hua and persuade her to leave Ling Xiao and become his woman.

But not only did he fail, Yue Fanɡ Hua had taught him a harsh lesson.

At that time, he realized Yue Fanɡ Hua's power was terrifyingly formidable, impossible for him to contend with.

Unless Ling Xiao were to perish in the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, he might have a chance to make Yue Fanɡ Hua his own.

But now, Ling Xiao was back.

Safe and sound.

Wanting to kill Ling Xiao was simply out of the question, but he could exploit this incident to have Yue Fanɡ Hua eradicate Boye Chen for him!

Even knowing Ling Xiao intended to use him, he truly had to protect Ling Xiao and use this to weaken his Fourteenth Brother's influence.

With this in mind, he finally said, "Consider yourself lucky. But after this matter is resolved, you should leave. You killed my people; I can't accept you, or my subordinates will be dissatisfied."

The more critical reason why Chen Canglan was doing this was his belief that Ling Xiao was uncontrollable.

If he couldn't control him and couldn't kill him, it was better not to keep him close.

Of course, he didn't wish to become an enemy of Ling Xiao.

This strategy was something he settled upon after lengthy discussions with Hong Minger.

If you can't kill him, can't subdue him, then try to avoid becoming his enemy.

Anyway, with Ling Xiao's personality, he wouldn't be likely to submit to anyone, so he didn't have to worry about Ling Xiao becoming his Fourteenth Brother's pawn.

...

Ling Xiao and Chen Canglan had already discussed the plan to temporarily join forces.

After all, it was merely the death of Boye Liuli; Chen Canglan could definitely protect him.

Of course, Ling Xiao would also help Chen Canglan weaken the Boye Family's fighting strength.

Less than ten minutes after they had finalized their arrangement.

Beyond the Wisdom Sage King Mansion, a group arrived in force.

Each person exuding a terrifying killing intent.

Directly heading towards the Wisdom Sage King Mansion.

The leader was not Boye Chen but someone who resembled him greatly, clad in black, his expression uncertain.

Probably because Boye Chen's injuries hadn't healed, he couldn't come personally.

But this person's strength was also formidable, at First Transformation of the Tenth Layer of Yin-Yang Realm, Hell's Peak Level.

Though weaker than Boye Chen, he was certainly much stronger than Ling Xiao.

Behind him were the people previously poisoned by Ling Xiao's Bloodthirsty Plague Rats.

Ling Xiao had merely taught them a lesson, not killed them, yet ungrateful as they were, they dared to come seeking trouble again.

If Ling Xiao had to act again, their lives would surely be forfeit.

Among the crowd was someone Ling Xiao was rather familiar with: Gu Fang, Gutianba's godson.

Gu Fang looked furious.

Because he was Boye Liuli's fiancé.

Ever since Gu Fang was chosen by Gutianba as heir, Boye Liuli's former fiancé Gu Mingyu became Gu Fang.

His fiancée was killed, moreover in such a horrible manner, how could Gu Fang not hate Ling Xiao?

Furthermore, Ling Xiao had previously offended his godfather Gutianba.

No matter the reason, today he came here with the intent to see Ling Xiao dead.

With the experts from the Boye Family supporting him, he believed that should anything happen, he wouldn't be held responsible.

If disaster struck, there were always taller people to bear the brunt.

Outside the Wisdom Sage King Mansion, two mansion's soldiers halted the intruders' path, blocking them from forcefully entering the mansion.

"Stop right there, this is the Wisdom Sage King Mansion; who dares to trespass!"

The black-clad middle-aged man from the Boye Family stepped forward, standing before the two mansion's soldiers.

Suddenly, he let out an angry roar—

"Get out of the way!"

With his thunderous voice, the two mansion's soldiers were sent flying, crashing directly into the big gate.

"So powerful!"

Of course, the two mansion's soldiers didn't understand this black-clad middle-aged man's strength, but they knew this was definitely not something they could withstand.
