Chapter 12793: Visitors from the Secret Academy
"Not only will you have to return the things you stole from me, but you will also have to get out of Tianxiahui!" Manager Zhang roared angrily. His voice echoed in the trading house, attracting whispers and frightened glances from the people around him.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. He slowly walked to Manager Zhang, looked down at him, and said softly, "Haha, get out of Tianxiahui? I'm afraid you don't have the final say."

His voice is deep and magnetic, as if it has a magical power that attracts people involuntarily.

He raised his head, glanced around at the people around him, and continued, "Look, I was planning to leave, but you insisted on asking me to stay. Well, since you are so enthusiastic, you should compensate me another three million for mental damages later."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar all around.

Three million in mental damages? This is simply an astronomical figure! Everyone looked at Ling Xiao with surprise and admiration. They knew that this disciple from the upper house was not only powerful, but also courageous and insightful, and was definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ling Xiao actually walked straight to an exquisite wooden chair and sat down without hesitation.

He was wearing a cyan robe and a silver belt around his waist, inlaid with exquisite gemstones, sparkling with dazzling light. He sat upright and confidently, as if the entire trading house was his stage.

There was a determined light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he knew exactly what attitude he should show at this moment.

He knew that the more powerful he acted in this matter, the more attention he would draw from the Tianxiahui, thus putting himself in a safer position. After all, he now had a backer and was no longer the newcomer who had just arrived and needed to act cautiously.

He looked around, and wherever he looked, there were whispers and surprised looks. But he didn't care, just smiled slightly, and continued to maintain his confidence and strength. He knew in his heart that if he had a backer but didn't act arrogantly, then when would he be arrogant? When he lost his backer, it would be nothing but empty talk to want to act arrogantly.

Manager Zhang stood aside, staring at Ling Xiao coldly.

He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe with delicate patterns embroidered on it, but his face was extremely gloomy at the moment. He did not say anything, but just silently observed Ling Xiao, but his heart was full of disdain and ridicule. He believed that when his backer arrived, this kid would show his true colors and would never be able to act arrogant again.

However, he also knew that now was not the time to provoke Ling Xiao. Although this young man seemed arrogant, he was actually very scheming. Who knew what crazy things he would do? Although Manager Zhang was dissatisfied, he could only endure it temporarily and wait for the opportunity to come.

But in a moment, a depressing and terrifying atmosphere quickly enveloped the sky above the trading house like a dark cloud, making the entire space seem to freeze. The originally bustling trading house suddenly became silent, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would become victims of this terrifying atmosphere.

Then, a figure descended from the sky at an astonishing speed, landing with a thud that shook the ground. The uninvited guest was dressed in a black robe, the hem of his robe fluttering in the wind, revealing a sense of majesty and dominance.

His face was old and resolute, his eyes were like lightning, flashing with sharp light, as if they could see through all illusions.

"Who is so bold as to come to the Tianxiahui Trading House to cause trouble!" His voice exploded in the trading house like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt. This voice was full of anger and majesty, making people feel fear and awe involuntarily.

Ling Xiao sat there and looked up at the old man. He felt the terrifying aura emanating from the old man, as if a towering mountain was pressing down on his heart, making him a little breathless.

But Ling Xiao did not back down. He remained calm and composed, and asked calmly, "Why, Senior, you don't want to ask what happened, but come here to accuse me?"

The old man snorted coldly, and his eyes shot towards Ling Xiao like a knife. His face was full of anger, as if he wanted to cut Ling Xiao into pieces. He said in a deep voice: "Humph, no matter what the reason, you dare to kill people and injure Manager Zhang in the trading house. This is a serious crime, you deserve to be killed!"

As he spoke, the old man was filled with murderous aura, as if it was about to condense into substance. His aura became stronger and stronger, as if he was going to swallow up the entire trading house. The air around him seemed to be squeezed and distorted by his aura, making a strange humming sound.

The terrifying pressure even shattered the chair near Ling Xiao, and wood chips flew everywhere, falling like snowflakes. Regardless of whether the old man took action or not, he had already given Ling Xiao a warning, hoping to intimidate the young man.

However, Ling Xiao did not show the slightest fear. He still sat there, looking at the old man with firm eyes, as if he was confronting a mountain.

"Haha, I want to see who is so arrogant that he dares to touch the talented disciples of my upper house." Ling Xiao's voice revealed a bit of amusement and coldness, and his eyes flickered like cold stars.

As his sneer echoed in the air, suddenly, four bright lights appeared above the trading house, like meteors streaking through the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The light faded, revealing four majestic figures, who were the four deans of the upper house. They were dressed in luxurious robes, with fluttering sleeves and solemn demeanors, as if they were four immortals from heaven.

The appearance of the four deans instantly brought the tense atmosphere to a climax. The terrifying aura from them swept over like a storm, directly shattering the murderous intent released by the old man from the secret courtyard. The air around them seemed to be frozen by this aura, making it impossible to breathe.

When the old man from the Secret Academy saw this, his face suddenly changed, and he was shocked. Although he was from the Secret Academy, the four deans of the Upper House had a special status. They were not only the four deans of the Upper House, but also the elders of the Secret Academy, and their status far exceeded that of a deacon of the Secret Academy like him.

He never thought that for the sake of Ling Xiao, the four deans would actually go out at the same time.

"You four are all here. Who is this person who can make you four go out at the same time?" The old man from the secret academy asked in shock, his voice full of doubt and puzzlement. He really couldn't figure out how Ling Xiao, a seemingly ordinary young man, could have such charm to attract the attention of the four deans of the upper academy.

"Brother Zhang, you are so old, why do you still have such a hot temper and want to kill at every turn?" The Fourth Dean smiled. His face was warm and he was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with silver cloud patterns. He looked majestic and elegant.

He gently shook the jade fan in his hand, as if enjoying the farce, but there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
