Chapter 13069: Each is for the purpose of becoming stronger

Hearing this, a trace of gratitude and determination flashed in Long Chen's eyes. He looked at Ling Xiao deeply, as if he wanted to remember this friendship in his heart.

"Hmm!" He responded concisely and forcefully, and then his figure flashed, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, and he stepped into the air and went away. He was so fast that he disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant, leaving only a faint afterimage that gradually dissipated in the wind.

After watching Long Chen leave, Ling Xiao slowly turned around, his eyes gently and firmly fell on the thirteen demon generals. These partners who had followed him for many years were his right-hand men. They had experienced countless life and death tests together and had already established an inseparable deep bond.

"Xiaobi, Weiwei, and everyone here," his voice was gentle and powerful, and every word was clearly conveyed to everyone's heart, "the road ahead will be more rugged and dangerous. I know that you all have the determination to protect me, but please believe me, your safety and growth are also what I care about most."

Having said that, Ling Xiao's tone became more serious.

"Therefore, I propose that we temporarily separate from today. The vastness of the East China Sea is enough to accommodate our respective dreams and pursuits.

You can choose the place that suits you best, whether it's the abyss of the sea or above the clouds. As long as it can make your heart more peaceful and your strength more advanced, that is the best destination. Remember, separation does not mean separation. We are temporarily separated in order to reunite more powerfully. "

His eyes were shining with anticipation and encouragement, as if he had already seen the glorious scene of them fighting side by side in the future.

"Practice hard, my friends. When the East China Sea is in turmoil again, I hope to see you become more dazzling and stronger. And I will be here, waiting to write our legend together with you."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison. Their voices showed respect for Ling Xiao's decision, but also contained a subtle hint of sadness.

They knew that Ling Xiao's proposal was out of consideration for their safety and expectations for their future growth. Although they were reluctant, their reason told them that only by becoming stronger could they better protect this friendship and fight side by side in the future.

Looking at Ling Xiao's firm and warm gaze, everyone felt a warm current in their hearts. It was the trust in the leader and the vision for the future.

They understand that although their contribution to this crisis is limited, it is only because of the gap in strength, not the weakness of will. This recognition makes them more determined to improve themselves.

"Yes, each of us has our own path to take." Xiao Bi said softly. Although her voice was soft, it was full of power. "With our talents and hard work, no matter which sect we choose in the East China Sea, we can make a name for ourselves. When Brother Ling Xiao needs us, we will return in a stronger posture. That will be the real help."

Weiwei also nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "Yes, separation is for a better reunion. We want to let Brother Lingxiao see that his companions have never stopped moving forward."

As the words fell, everyone came forward to hug Ling Xiao and say goodbye, and each hug carried deep friendship and reluctance. But this reluctance was soon replaced by expectations for the future. They knew that the temporary separation was for a more glorious reunion.

In the atmosphere of farewell, Ling Bi and the others also left quietly. As they walked, their figures were light and agile, and they were obviously masters with great training. Because they had worn masks during the previous battle, their true identities were not exposed, which allowed them to leave more calmly.

Ling Xiao stood there, watching his companions leave one by one. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were full of complex emotions. He knew that this separation might be a long one. But he also believed that when they met again, it would be an even more glorious moment.

After bidding farewell to the Thirteen Demon Generals, Ling Xiao's eyes gently turned to his mother Jiang Xiruo and his aunt Jiang Xiqing. His heart was filled with complex emotions, including deep concern for their safety and reluctance to part with them.

Just as he was about to ask about their plans, Jiang Xiqing seemed to have seen through his thoughts and whispered to comfort him, "Xiao'er, you don't need to worry about us. I have hidden a secret place in the East China Sea. The terrain there is dangerous and there are many traps. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to find it, let alone invade it. There will be a temporary safe haven for us two sisters. It will be safe.

Besides, I have been away from home for a long time, and my master must have missed me very much. This time I go back, I can reunite with him and share the joy of family life."

At this point, Jiang Xiqing's eyes flashed with tenderness and nostalgia, which was a deep attachment to her master. She turned to look at Jiang Xiruo, and the two smiled at each other. There was no need to say more, and their feelings for each other were already unspoken.

Ling Xiao felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw this, but it was soon replaced by a firmness. He knew that he could not become a burden to them, and he could not let them fall into danger because of him.

So he said solemnly: "Mother, aunt, you must be careful. Please tell me the location. When I have enough self-protection ability, I will definitely find you no matter where I am."

Jiang Xiqing's eyes flashed with relief and pride. She believed that her nephew had extraordinary potential and determination. She took out a delicate map from her bosom, unfolded it gently, and handed it to Ling Xiao. The lines on the map were delicate and complex, marking the secret path leading to the hiding place.

She whispered, "Xiao'er, keep this map. It will be the key for you to find us. Remember, no matter where you are, you must protect yourself. We are waiting for you here."

After saying that, Jiang Xiqing and Jiang Xiruo hugged Ling Xiao tightly, and the hug was full of maternal warmth and family affection. Then, they turned and left, and their figures gradually disappeared from Ling Xiao's sight.

Ling Xiao stood there, watching them leave until he could no longer see them. He felt reluctant to leave, but also had expectations for the future. He secretly vowed to become stronger, find them as quickly as possible, and protect this hard-earned family relationship.

"You arranged for everyone around you to leave one by one. Do you have some ominous premonition in your heart?" The voice of the Demon Soul Beast Ah Dai suddenly sounded in the silence. Its deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. It stared straight at Ling Xiao, and there was a bit of concern and confusion in its tone.

Ling Xiao sighed softly and looked into the distance, where was the unknown and dangerous place.
