Chapter 2677 - 2680: Thunder City’s Predicament: The 60,000-Man Encirclement

"Let's go."

Amidst the chaos in Thunder City, Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin quietly vanished into the crowd.

Ling Xiao had Xiao Jin temporarily hide inside the Beast Ring, while he disguised himself again, preparing to head to the Demon Shadow Sect and destroy their Thunder City stronghold.

After all, the Thunder City Great Steward of the Demon Shadow Sect is that Purple Thunder General.

And the Cultivation Level of this Purple Thunder General should be around the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm - Eleventh Layer Hell.

With Xiao Jin teaming up with him, they might just be able to kill him.

More importantly, once this chaos begins, the Purple Thunder General will likely have no time to bother about Demon Shadow Sect matters.

At this moment, the Demon Shadow Sect is utterly vulnerable.

It's a perfect opportunity for a bit of plundering.

"Good lad, if he can join our Demon Dragon Sect, overthrowing the Chen Royal Family's rule is just within reach."

Among the crowd, a Demon Dragon Sect expert watched Ling Xiao disappear into the crowd, feeling extremely excited.

Although Ling Xiao had changed his appearance again, this Demon Dragon Sect expert had his own technique to perfectly capture Ling Xiao's aura.

"Kid, sorry, but you'll have to suffer a little setback first, and then we'll have our Demon Dragon Sect people rescue you. I don't believe you won't join our Demon Dragon Sect."

The man smirked coldly and then left, heading straight to the Fourteenth Prince's residence.

His current disguise was that of a Guest Elder and advisor to the Fourteenth Prince.

Though he wasn't very noticeable, he believed that the presence of Ling Xiao in Thunder City, such a significant event, would surely be of importance to the Fourteenth Prince.

Sure enough, when he recounted Ling Xiao's disguised killing of the Green Thunder General and the two Building Masters of the Volcano Tower, the Fourteenth Prince's expression slightly changed.

"Your Highness, why not let our Boye Family handle this affair!"

"No, leave it to our Gu Clan to deal with it."

"Our Parker Family is also willing to step in!"

The enmity between the Boye Family and Ling Xiao goes without saying.

The Gu Clan, now led by Gu Tianba, a newly rising family among the Eight Great Families, hasn't been insulted for a long while.

But Ling Xiao not only killed Gu Fang but also humiliated Gu Tianba publicly in a restaurant.

More importantly, Gu Tianba discovered that his biological son, Gu Mingyu, was killed by Ling Xiao.

Thus, the Gu Clan is bound to kill Ling Xiao.

The Parker Family received their surname from an ancient pineapple tree.

Despite their strange surname, this family has close ties with the Royal Family.

Because the women of the Parker Family have always been queens of the Chen Dynasty.

This generation is slightly lesser, but she is the Great King of Chen's favorite consort.

Her status even surpasses that of the queen.

This consort's son is the Fourteenth Prince, Chen Cangxiong.

While the queen's son was the Wise and Virtuous King, now dead, unable to compare with this consort.

After all, in the harem, it's always "the mother is noble because of the son."

The enmity between the Parker Family and Ling Xiao stems from events in a restaurant.

The Fourteenth Prince's cousin, arrogant and domineering, bullied the weak everywhere and bumped into Ling Xiao, a tough nut to crack, who crippled her.

Hence, there's no way the Parker Family could forgive Ling Xiao?

Among the Eight Great Families, three families are willing to kill Ling Xiao.

The Fourteenth Prince thought for a moment and said, "The three families should make a move together. Don't let Ling Xiao escape from Thunder City!"

Although Ling Xiao had gained some notoriety recently, the Fourteenth Prince, Chen Cangxiong, still didn't regard him as a threat.

In his view, there's no equal to him in the Chen Dynasty, and his goals are set much higher.

Leaving Ling Xiao, a petty thief, to be dealt with by his subordinates would suffice.

Moreover, three of the Eight Great Families are taking action; what could possibly go wrong?

Walking along, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a powerful sense of danger approaching.

He became highly alert at heart.

"Boss, something's wrong! We're surrounded, and there are many strong foes!"

Even Xiao Jin sensed the terrifying threat from within the Beast Ring.

"It seems we've been exposed. Since that's the case, there's no need to hide any longer."

Ling Xiao smirked coldly, reverted to his original appearance, and couldn't be bothered with further disguises.

After all, he's already been exposed, so doing these things seems a bit tedious.

However, the plan to eliminate the Demon Shadow Sect might have to be temporarily shelved.

The next step in the plan is to escape Thunder City!

With this thought, he aimed for Thunder City's gates.

Rushing nearly a mile, the gates were now within reach.

But at this moment, the people surrounding him finally sealed off his escape route.

Ling Xiao was now amidst a forest of strong opponents!

There were two with Hell Intermediate Stage Cultivation of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Eleventh Layer.

There were as many as six with Hell Early Stage Cultivation of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Eleventh Layer!

There were at least a thousand cultivators with Peak Level Hell's Peak of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Layer Cultivation!

Almost ten thousand with Hell Late Stage Cultivation of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Layer!

The rest of the Martial Artists were all above Hell Level 10 Cultivation of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm.

And the number of people surrounding him was as many as fifty to sixty thousand.

It seemed that to kill him, someone had really gone to great lengths.

The level of attention he received truly surprised Ling Xiao.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

He killed the Eighth Prince!

Killed the Wise and Virtuous King!

Killed Boye Family's Clan Leader, Boye Chen!

Killed four generals of the Thunder Corps!

This time, he also caused havoc in Thunder City, killed the Green Thunder General, destroyed the Volcano Tower, and added an unprecedented problem for the Royal Family.

If the Chen Royal Family doesn't do something about him, they might as well quit.

Boye Family, Gu Clan, and Parker Family all went all-in.

Martial Artists below Hell Level 10 Cultivation of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm were assisting on the periphery, having no chance to act.

This time, Ling Xiao truly understood the power of the Royal Family and the Eight Great Families.

It was terrifying, incomparable even to Eight Immortals County City.

Luckily, he had the Ten Absolute Formations, otherwise, with all these experts in action, Eight Immortals County City would be wiped out.

"Xiao Jin, are you afraid?"

Ling Xiao showed a calm smile, releasing Xiao Jin from the Beast Ring.

"Afraid? As long as I can fight alongside you, Boss, even dying here, what have I to fear?"

Xiao Jin flapped his wings and said.

"Good brother, then let's add a little more chaos to this already chaotic Thunder City today!"

If it had been a few days ago, facing so many strong foes, Ling Xiao would probably have only been able to run for his life.

Even escaping would have been impossible.

But today, Ling Xiao had a degree of confidence that he could wreak havoc in Thunder City and then leave gracefully.

The fortunate thing was that despite the numbers, there was no Hell Late Stage or Peak Level cultivator of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm - Eleventh Layer.

This was truly fortunate for them.

Otherwise, they really might not have been able to escape.
