Chapter 12769: Big Action Next

Huanbi was listening at the side, her brows furrowed. She couldn't help but interrupt, "Do you really believe what he said? The headmaster is famous for being cunning. Can you believe what he said?"

Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Huanbi, a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

He explained: "Huanbi, you are wrong. Although the chief dean is cunning, he also has his own principles and bottom line. He is considering the overall balance."

"Ou Luan is from the Holy Hall. If he dies in the Tianxiahui without knowing why, it will inevitably cause a conflict between the two major forces. As for me, as a rare genius in the Tianxiahui, my existence is extremely important to the Tianxiahui, so he will naturally not let me take risks easily."

He paused and continued, "What's more, although killing an Ouluan is easy for me, such a victory does not bring me any practical benefits."

"On the contrary, if he didn't die, I could get more information and resources from him. Just like this time, I not only got his storage ring, but also got compensation from the Grand Dean. Isn't this a better result?"

"That being said, aren't you afraid of that guy's revenge? I don't believe Ou Luan will stop at this point." Wang Xuan reminded worriedly, "Ou Luan is definitely a vengeful guy, he will definitely not let it go."

Ling Xiao smiled calmly, with a determined light in his eyes, and he replied: "Don't be afraid!"

He tilted his head slightly, looked at Wang Xuan, and explained: "Why should I be afraid? The four deans witnessed what happened today. They witnessed the whole process and saw how unreasonable Ou Luan was. If he dares to retaliate again, the four deans will naturally step forward to solve the problem. They will not sit idly by."

"Let's take a step back. Even if the four deans don't stop us, why should we be afraid of someone who has already been defeated by you? His strength is already inferior to mine, and..."

"What's more, I guess that the Holy Son Society has already fallen apart. Although they will not collapse completely overnight, Ou Luan's failure has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the entire organization. I believe that many people will choose to withdraw from the society because of this incident, or at least lose confidence in Ou Luan."

He paused, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under control. He raised his head, and his eyes swept across the people present, finally fixing on the position of the headmaster, and his eyes revealed a self-evident deep meaning.

"Besides, if I were to make an enemy of a master like the Grand Dean just to kill Ou Luan, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?" Ling Xiao's voice was calm and powerful, and every word hit everyone's heart like a hammer.

He continued, "I am not a young man who doesn't know his place. When walking in the martial arts world, one must always know how to judge the situation. The position and reputation of the Grand Master in the martial arts world is not something I can easily challenge. If I really do this, won't I become the target of public criticism and seek my own death?"

His words revealed a calmness and wisdom that moved everyone present. They began to understand that Ling Xiao's every move was so steady and it was no accident. He was not only protecting himself, but also paving the way for his future.

"Moreover, I believe that the Grand Dean will be biased towards me in many things because he feels that he owes me." Ling Xiao's tone was filled with a hint of pride and confidence. "This way, I can get more benefits. Why not do it?" There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he had seen a bright future.

After hearing this, everyone secretly admired Ling Xiao's foresight. They began to understand that the reason why Ling Xiao was able to gain a foothold in the martial arts world was not only because of his high martial arts skills, but also because of his wisdom and courage.

In this situation, being able to make such a choice does require great courage and wisdom.

"Drink, drink!" Wang Xuan was the first to raise his glass, breaking the brief silence, "Today is a happy day, let's get drunk!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the whole scene suddenly became lively.

They knew that Ling Xiao's words not only helped them resolve their doubts, but also made them full of confidence in the future.

"You little girl, why are you drinking at such a young age? Be careful not to lose your virginity when you are drunk. Don't come to me crying then." Ling Xiao looked at Wang Xuan with a playful smile on his face, but his eyes revealed his concern and care for her.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan pouted and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Who said I would get drunk? Besides, I just tasted a little bit." Although she said this, she had already put down the wine glass in her hand, obviously frightened by Ling Xiao's words.

Seeing her like this, Ling Xiao stopped teasing her and said mysteriously, "We have a big operation coming up, did you know that?"

"Big operation? What big operation?" Wang Xuan's curiosity was aroused. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Ling Xiao with anticipation.

"Of course, we are going to seize the territory of the Holy Son Association in the Heavenly Spirit Palace." Ling Xiao said with a smile, "We will take advantage of his weakness to kill him. Defeating Ou Luan today is only the first step. Since Ou Luan lost to me, he is not qualified to own a territory in the Heavenly Spirit Palace. At least, he cannot own such a large territory."

"Can we go too?" At this time, Huanbi and others came over, their faces full of excitement and anticipation.

Ling Xiao glanced at them, smiled and nodded: "Of course. Although the Tianling Palace originally only allowed the upper house disciples to enter for training, if we can successfully take over the territory of the Holy Sons Association, then you will naturally be qualified to enter for training. Moreover, I believe that in the near future, we will definitely be able to become the best in the Tianling Palace!"

Momo's eyes were gleaming with anticipation, and she said excitedly: "What are we waiting for? Let's go to the upper house now!" Her voice was full of longing for the future and desire for strength.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He knew Momo's character very well. Although she was talented, her impulsiveness at the moment might cause her to ignore the danger in front of her.

So, he patiently explained: "Momo, don't worry. The weakest people in the upper courtyard are all powerful warriors in the Primordial Realm. With your current strength, it would be dangerous to go there. You should stay in the lower courtyard to practice and improve your cultivation."

Momo showed a hint of disappointment when she heard this, but she soon understood Ling Xiao's concerns. She nodded and said, "I understand. Let's go back and practice first."

Seeing this, Huanbi also stood up. As the leader of this group, she naturally supported Ling Xiao's decision. She turned to Momo and the other thirteen demon generals and said, "Let's go practice first, and when our strength improves, we will go to the upper courtyard together."
