Chapter 13064 Why don’t I help you?

The woman continued, "As for the Fuzun Mansion, as the highest authority in the Demon Suppression Mansion, there are countless powerful people under it. It would not be difficult for any of these three to destroy the Ji family."

Hearing this, the old man frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "That being said, if they want to destroy the Ji family, they must have a tenable reason.

Although the Ji family is powerful, they have always kept a low profile and maintained good relations with all parties. I have never heard of any deep hatred that could lead to the destruction of the family. Moreover, if they had this intention, why did they choose to act at this time? Is there any hidden story that we don't know yet?"

"I don't know, but it can't be that Ling Xiao."

The woman's words were full of disdain and contempt for Ling Xiao's strength. She shook her head slightly, with obvious contempt flashing in her eyes:
“That kid, with his mere martial soul realm cultivation, is just a drop in the ocean, insignificant in the Demon Suppression Mansion filled with so many powerful people.

Let alone asking him to destroy the Ji family with its profound foundation, even if he faced an ordinary Tongtian realm expert, he would be at the mercy of others. Every move of a Tongtian realm expert would be enough to turn him into ashes, so how could he expect him to be able to shake a giant like the Ji family? "

However, the old man's voice interrupted her assertion, with a hint of thoughtfulness: "Having said that, there are always some rumors in the martial arts world that cannot be disbelieved, nor can they be believed completely. I heard that although Ling Xiao's cultivation is not high, he seems to have the protection and guidance of a master behind him.

We don’t know who this expert is, but since he was able to make Ling Xiao famous in a short period of time, he might really be extraordinary. Perhaps, the disaster of the Ji family is inextricably linked to this expert, who knows. "

The woman's eyes froze slightly when she heard this, and she seemed to be re-evaluating Ling Xiao and the possibility behind him. But she quickly regained her composure and said calmly: "Even so, it's just a rumor. Without solid evidence, we can't easily draw conclusions. The disaster of the Ji family must have more complicated reasons and behind-the-scenes hands..."

……

The demise of the Ji family was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, causing waves and shaking the entire East China Sea and even every corner of the Demon Suppression Mansion.

This once glorious ancient family, with its long history and huge power, all demonstrated its prominent position in the East China Sea. However, overnight, the Ji family disappeared, leaving only ruins and endless mysteries, which made people sigh.

At the same time, the death of the head of the Huang family made the storm even more intense. As another major force in the East China Sea, the strength of the Huang family should not be underestimated.

The sudden death of the head of the family not only left the Huang family leaderless, but also plunged the entire family into unprecedented chaos and panic. People speculated about what kind of conspiracy and struggle was hidden behind this.

The most shocking thing was the death of Huang Xiangu, the special envoy of the Empress' Palace. Huang Xiangu, as a representative of the Empress' Palace, was of noble status and extraordinary strength, and she played an important role in the East China Sea and even in the Demon Suppression Mansion.

Her sudden death was undoubtedly a major blow to the Empress' Palace and even the entire East China Sea. For a time, all kinds of rumors spread, and speculations about the cause of Huang Xiangu's death were endless.

Any one of these three events alone would have caused a great uproar, let alone they happened one after another at the same time. The entire East China Sea was therefore plunged into unprecedented shock and panic. People talked about it a lot, but they could never uncover the truth behind it.

In the Demon Suppression Mansion, people were also in a state of panic. All the major forces were secretly investigating, trying to find out the black hand behind this. However, whether it was the demise of the Ji family, the murder of the head of the Huang family, or the death of Huang Xiangu, they all seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to see the full picture.

However, among all the rumors and speculations, there was one name that was mentioned repeatedly - Ling Xiao. This young man seemed to be inextricably linked to these three major events.

However, who exactly is he? And why is he involved in this storm? All of this is like a huge mystery, hanging in everyone's mind, making people curious and fearful.

……

At this moment, Ling Xiao stepped heavily into the dark and mysterious territory of the Secret Area, and every step seemed to carry a heavy burden. He hugged his mother Jiang Xiruo tightly, and in his deep eyes, sadness surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

Jiang Xiruo's face was as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat and pain on her forehead, but her eyes were full of tenderness and determination, which was the radiance of maternal love that would spare no effort for her son.

In Ling Xiao's arms, Jiang Xiruo's body was shaking due to the backlash of forbidden techniques and the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword. It was not just physical pain, but also torment in the depths of her soul.

Every breath she took seemed to drain all her strength. The sharp pain from her bones made her clench her teeth, but she was unwilling to utter even a single cry, so as not to make Ling Xiao more worried.

"Mother..." Ling Xiao's voice was choked with sobs, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the deepest part of his heart, full of endless love and self-blame for his mother. How he wished he could bear this pain for his mother and make her smile again, but the reality was so cruel that he could only watch his mother suffer, his heart was like a knife.

Long Chen stood quietly by the side. This usually calm and composed warrior could not hide the sadness on his face. He knew that the pain Jiang Xiruo was enduring was far from ordinary, but he was powerless to do anything. This sense of frustration made him feel even more tormented.

Even though he had reached a very high level, he knew nothing about curing illnesses and saving lives.

Long Chen's eyes showed both admiration for Jiang Xiruo and deep sympathy for Ling Xiao. He understood that this backlash could only be gradually overcome by relying on the deep mother-son relationship between Ling Xiao and Jiang Xiruo, as well as their respective unyielding wills.

There was a depressing and heavy atmosphere in the air, and the wind in the mysterious area seemed to become even colder, as if even nature was lamenting the suffering experienced by the mother and son.

"Why don't I help you?" The voice of the Demon Soul King sounded again in the magic needle space, with a hint of tenderness and sincerity that was barely noticeable, and he seemed to be completely different from the previous image of a cold bystander who was unwilling to help. The voice echoed in the empty magic needle space, and it was particularly clear, but it also carried a bit of embarrassment and expectation.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with complex emotions. He looked up at the invisible existence, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are so kind? Why didn't I see you so warm-hearted before? If Long Chen hadn't appeared in time, we don't know how many unknown dangers we would have faced in this battle. Now, you are starting to act nicely."
