Chapter 12747 He is not dead?

After a short rest, Ling Xiao suddenly took out a token that was flickering with a faint light. It was his special tool for communicating with the Tianxiahui internally.

He took a deep breath, focused his mind, then injected his internal energy into the token and began to contact the Fourth Dean.

The runes on the token gradually lit up, establishing a connection with the Fourth Dean's Office. Ling Xiao's voice was clearly heard in the office: "Fourth Dean, someone has solved a few problems for me without my knowledge. I'm already on my way to Luan City."

There was a hint of ease in his words, as if the previous siege had not brought him too much pressure.

At the Tianxiahui's dean's meeting room, the fourth dean's face instantly turned into astonishment when he heard Ling Xiao's voice. He widened his eyes, as if he had heard something incredible.

The headmaster sat aside and asked curiously, "Who contacted you? Why did you get so shocked?"

The fourth dean smiled bitterly and replied, "It was Ling Xiao. He...he is not dead."

The headmaster frowned and asked in confusion, "Wasn't he surrounded and attacked by those people? Facing such an attack, even I dare not say that I can escape unscathed. How could he succeed in breaking through?"

The fourth dean shook his head and explained, "He didn't break out of the siege by himself, but someone killed those people for him without his knowledge. This is like a blessing from heaven, it's unbelievable."

"What!" After hearing the description of the Fourth Dean, the Grand Dean stood up suddenly, his face full of shock and disbelief. He frowned, his eyes were like torches, as if he wanted to penetrate the wall of this meeting room and see the truth.

"Old Four, you really bet on the wrong horse this time!" The head dean sighed, "The one who did it must not be an ordinary person, but the legendary spiritual practitioner."

When the Second Dean heard this, he also showed a puzzled look on his face: "But didn't the Fourth Master say that the spiritual practitioner couldn't leave the cemetery due to some restrictions? How is this possible?"

"Humph, that might just be her excuse." The Third Dean couldn't help but interrupt. He seemed to have some problems with the Second Dean. "How can we easily guess the methods of spiritual cultivation? Even if she really can't leave the cemetery, with her cultivation level, it would be easy for her to kill someone thousands of miles away."

"Old Third is right. How can we know all the methods of spiritual cultivation? No matter what, she must have saved Ling Xiao." The head dean also nodded and said, "The question now is how can we remedy this matter!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became solemn, and everyone was thinking about how to respond next.

The headmaster was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "For now, we can only think of ways to remedy the situation. Fourth Brother, didn't you say before that there were three little guys with Ling Xiao? We can consider accepting these three little guys as our closed disciples."

"Oh?" The second and third dean both looked curious.

The headmaster continued, "Ling Xiao is a sentimental person. If we accept his friend as our disciple, he will definitely not forget this sentiment, right? This way, we can also establish a closer relationship with him and lay the foundation for future cooperation."

The Second Dean and the Third Dean nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They knew that this was a feasible plan that could both make up for the previous mistakes and gain more opportunities for the Tianxiahui.

"The Grand Dean is so wise!" The Fourth Dean slapped his forehead, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and his tone was full of surprise and admiration.

He knew very well that the Grand Master's decision not only cleverly solved the problem at hand, but also cleverly brought him closer to Ling Xiao and gained greater benefits for the Tianxia Association.

The head dean nodded slightly and continued, "Also, Third Brother, I need you to replace Fourth Brother to secretly protect Ling Xiao. His safety is of vital importance, and we must not let anything happen to him. Even if it means offending the Southern Region Holy Hall, we must ensure his safety."

There was a gleam in the Grand Master's eyes, as if he had made some decision.

……

On the other side, Ling Xiao had already arrived at Luan City. Although the size of this city was less than one ten-thousandth of Tianxia City, it was particularly important due to its unique status.

Luancheng, as an important mining city of Tianxiahui, is famous for its abundant spiritual stone mines.

Lingshi, a rare mineral containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is an indispensable resource for martial artists to practice. Therefore, Luancheng is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for the Tianxiahui.

On weekdays, Luan City is in good order, and the peace here is maintained by the warriors from the Tianxia Association.

In the Southern Region, apart from the respected Holy Temple, other forces are well aware of the power of the Tianxia Association and dare not easily touch its interests, let alone attack the warriors of the Tianxia Association. However, the situation this time seems a little unusual.

Recently, several vicious incidents have occurred in Luancheng. Several Tianxiahui warriors who were originally stationed here were killed by a mysterious person without any warning.

These warriors were quite powerful, but they were as vulnerable as ants in front of the murderer. These incidents caused great panic in Luan City, and people were in a state of panic and fear.

When Ling Xiao arrived in Luan City, he immediately felt the tense atmosphere here. However, despite this, he was still received very warmly the moment he stepped into the city.

For the residents of Luan City, the name Ling Xiao represents the noble status and powerful strength of the disciples of the Tianxia Association. They admire him, worship him, and hope that he can bring a little peace and hope.

"I am Zhang Dian, the mayor of Luan City. Nice to meet you, Young Master Ling!" As soon as Zhang Dian saw Ling Xiao, he immediately bowed, with a look of respect and expectation on his face.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his expression calm, and said: "You're welcome, City Lord Zhang. I'm sure you already know the purpose of my coming here. The higher-ups sent me to investigate the cause of the strange deaths of those warriors in Luan City. I hope you can pass on all the clues you have collected to me in detail."

Zhang Dian nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master Ling. Since these events happened, I have been personally supervising the collection of clues and have not dared to slack off. I have sorted out all the clues and information and will hand them over to you now."

As he spoke, Zhang Dian took out an exquisite scroll from his arms and handed it to Ling Xiao. His eyes were full of expectation and anxiety, and he was obviously very worried about the current situation in Luancheng.

Ling Xiao took the scroll, unfolded it gently, and began to carefully read the contents. His eyes were sharp, not missing any details. He knew that these clues would be the key to solving the mystery of the death of the Luancheng warrior. (End of this chapter)
