Chapter 12704 My son is still alive!

Seeing this, the other thirteen monsters fled in terror. They roared in fear, as if expressing their fear of Ling Xiao. In their eyes, Ling Xiao had transformed into an invincible demon, making it impossible for them to even think of resisting.

For the next three days, the entire assessment area was unusually quiet. No monster dared to attack them, as if they were all afraid of the young man holding the bloodthirsty knife.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cast grateful glances at Ling Xiao. If he hadn't killed the beast king in time, they would have had a hard time making it to the end. With Ling Xiao's help, they successfully survived this crisis.

The original team of 600 people was reduced to 300 people after 7 days. This surprised the deacon Liu Yu who came to guide them.

Under normal circumstances, it would be good if there were only one hundred people left out of the six hundred. Generally speaking, only a few dozen people can persist to the end.

This result was obviously an unexpected event in the assessment, but he did not ask any further questions. As long as it was not a violation of the rules, it didn't matter.

"Congratulations to all of you for passing the two tests of my Tianxia Association. From now on, you are my Tianxia Association's disciples." Deacon Liu Yu announced. He had a satisfied smile on his face, and was very pleased with the performance of these new disciples.

Everyone bowed and thanked him, their hearts filled with excitement and anticipation. They knew that from now on, they would become members of the Tianxia Association and begin a new life of cultivation.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but glance at Ling Xiao, and sighed in her heart. She originally thought that Ling Xiao was just an ordinary warrior, but now it seems that his strength is much stronger than she imagined. How many secrets does this young man who keeps himself hidden still have?
"Okay, follow me." Deacon Liu Yu waved his hand and led everyone to a big door in front. The door was tall and heavy, as if it led to another mysterious world. Everyone followed closely, their hearts full of expectation and curiosity.

……

At that time, somewhere in Bai Ze Continent, a vast and solemn building complex came into view. These buildings were staggered in height, in various shapes, and were continuous, standing like small hills on this land, occupying a vast space of tens of thousands of acres. They set off each other, forming a magnificent picture that shocked people.

What is surprising is that this magnificent complex of buildings actually belongs to only one family - the Jiang family! This family has an extraordinary status in the Bai Ze Continent, and its wealth and power are known to everyone. The Jiang family's buildings are not only magnificent, but also full of mystery and majesty, making people dare not approach them easily.

However, in this huge complex of buildings, there is a place that seems particularly gloomy. There is no sunlight there all day long, and the air is filled with a suffocating and gloomy atmosphere. This is where the Jiang family imprisoned and placed under house arrest those who made mistakes. For those clansmen who made mistakes, this place is undoubtedly a terrifying hell.

There is no spiritual energy here, which is a hopeless situation for practitioners. People cannot practice here, and can only suffer from the erosion of the gloomy air and endure endless pain. This pain comes not only from physical torture, but also from the destruction of the soul.

At this time, outside a lonely house, an old man stood quietly. There was a cold light in his eyes, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. He waved his hand, and someone behind him immediately opened the door respectfully.

"You wait outside." The old man said coldly, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.

The door slowly opened, and the old man walked in with steady steps. Although the house was not big, the whole picture could be seen at a glance. The inside of the house was overgrown with weeds and looked desolate. However, surprisingly, the house was unusually clean, and it was obvious that someone came to clean it every day.

In the middle of the house, a woman dressed like a servant was cleaning diligently. When she saw the old man coming in, she couldn't help but frowned, with a hint of doubt and displeasure flashing in her eyes.

"Why are you here? The environment here is not suitable for a big shot like you." The woman looked up at the old man, with a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in her tone.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "It seems that you still haven't learned your lesson. As the most outstanding genius of my Jiang family, we have high hopes for you, but you gave yourself to a country boy and even gave birth to a bastard with him! Even though he is dead, you still can't forget him..."

The old man's words were full of ridicule and dissatisfaction. However, the woman just sneered and said, "Haha, if you hadn't abandoned me back then, how could I have been seriously injured by the enemy and almost died tragically? He saved me. He is the only one who treats me as a human being instead of a tool. I am willing to do anything for him."

The woman's words revealed firmness and persistence, as if she was stating an unshakable fact.

The old man's face turned even colder when he heard this. He snorted coldly and said, "The family is sorry for you, but you shouldn't do this! That country bumpkin is already dead. What's the point of still thinking about him? Besides, that evil creature is still alive. You must cut off all ties with him!"

"Xiao'er is still alive!" The woman was immediately surprised when she heard the news. However, the old man's next words made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

"You don't have to be surprised, because he will die soon!" The old man sneered, "We must cut off all ties between you and that country bumpkin, and this evil creature is the most critical link!"

The woman's face turned pale when she heard this. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes were cold and ferocious, as if she wanted to eat the old man alive.

The old man was startled by her sudden change and subconsciously took two steps back.

He secretly marveled in his heart, this woman is indeed extraordinary. She was once the Jiang family's number one genius, or even the Jiang family's number one expert. She surpassed the Jiang family's patriarch at a young age. If this woman hadn't been too sentimental, she wouldn't have been crippled of her martial arts and imprisoned here.

"Hmph, you're already a cripple, and you still dare to threaten me?" The old man forced himself to calm down, took a step forward, and slapped the woman in the face.

He said sternly: "Jiang Xiruo, let me tell you, our Jiang family has now taken refuge with the Ji family. If you are sensible, you will obediently agree to the Ji family's request and willingly marry the head of the Ji family. Otherwise, not only will you die, but your son will not live either!"

There was a hint of threat and intimidation in the old man's words.

However, Jiang Xiruo just sneered and said sarcastically: "Master, you are really great. You actually surrendered to the former enemy. How many people of our Jiang family did the Ji family kill back then? You actually knelt down? How can those dead warriors rest in peace?"

Her words were full of disdain and anger, as if she wanted to vent all the anger in her heart.
