Chapter 13075: Did you agree so readily?
"I see. It seems that the feud between the Imperial Palace and the Female Emperor's Palace is indeed worthy of a warrior like me to participate." Ling Xiao's mouth curled up into a faint smile, his eyes flashing with a bit of cunning and determination. He nodded gently and accepted the invitation. This decision was not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.

He thought to himself that since the other party did not take action immediately, it was obvious that he was well prepared and had some plans for him.

And he is currently in the critical period of practicing the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, which requires a large amount of natural treasures as assistance. The Imperial Palace, as an ancient and mysterious force, must contain many treasures, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.

More importantly, Ling Xiao knew that although he was strong, he had little chance of winning against the two strong men from the Imperial Palace. He was not a reckless person and knew how to judge the situation. Choosing to join the Imperial Palace at this moment was both a protection for himself and an investment in the future.

"I'm sure." Ling Xiao's voice was firm and clear, and every word revealed his unquestionable determination. There was no hesitation or retreat in his eyes, only the desire for unknown challenges and the persistence for victory.

However, the man's reaction was beyond Ling Xiao's expectations. He was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Ling Xiao to agree so easily.

In his imagination, Ling Xiao should be a cunning, changeable and unpredictable character who would put forward various conditions or bargain. But the Ling Xiao in front of him seemed to see through their true thoughts and accepted the invitation with an almost free and easy attitude.

"Is this kid really compromising just because he's afraid of our strength?" the man muttered to himself, a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

He knew the rumors about Ling Xiao very well, and knew that this young man was no ordinary person, with a lot of tricks and schemes that had caused many masters to fall. Now that he agreed so easily, it was hard for him to believe that it was just out of simple fear.

"No! There must be a deeper meaning behind this." The man was secretly alert in his heart, and he began to re-examine Ling Xiao. He realized that perhaps this young man had a more far-reaching plan and layout, and joining the Imperial Palace was just a chess move in his plan.

He was secretly alert in his heart, like the undercurrents surging under the sea before a storm, and he remained highly alert to every subtle move of Ling Xiao. Behind this kid's smile, it seemed as if there was a bottomless swamp hidden, which made him wonder whether this was a sincere yearning or another carefully laid trap.

At that moment, anger and doubt intertwined into a complex web, which almost tore through the defenses of his reason. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his fingertips turned slightly white due to the force. He almost erupted with the impulse that had been suppressed for a long time and killed the seemingly harmless but unpredictable boy in front of him on the spot, so as to prevent him from becoming a hidden danger to the imperial palace in the future.

But reason eventually prevailed over impulse. He knew that he was shouldering the mission of exploring the truth. The demise of the Ji family and the bizarre death of the head of the Huang family were like huge rocks weighing on his mind, preventing him from acting rashly.

The appearance of Ling Xiao may be the key to solving these mysteries. He must remain calm, bring this seemingly simple young man back to the imperial palace, interrogate him slowly, and uncover the secrets behind him.

So, he took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and asked the question that was bothering him in the calmest tone possible, trying to find a clue from Ling Xiao's answer.

Ling Xiao's answer seemed relaxed and casual, as if he was completely unaware of the tension and hostility in the air. His smile was still as bright as the warm sunshine in spring, which could melt all the frost.

"What? I admire the Imperial Palace. Is that not allowed for me to join it?" This sentence not only shows a sincere yearning for the Imperial Palace, but also seems to hide a bit of teasing and provocation, making it difficult to grasp his true intentions.

Seeing this, the woman at the side spoke indifferently. Her voice was as piercing as ice, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Of course you can." She said, "But you have to remember that the Imperial Palace is not a place you can play around with. If you have any other bad intentions, you will be courting death." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand lightly, and her figure instantly soared into the air, like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high, showing amazing cultivation and momentum.

The man followed closely behind, his eyes were complex and difficult to read, showing trust and admiration for the woman, but also deep suspicion towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao followed them slowly, with a meaningful smile on his face, as if everything was under control. His steps were slow, but very firm, as if he had already embarked on the path he had chosen, and would move forward regardless of the thorns or the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire ahead.

"Do you think what he said is true or false? Is his cultivation in the Divine Power Realm genuine, or is he deliberately hiding his deeper strength in an attempt to play the pig and eat the tiger in front of us?"

The man asked the woman beside him in a low voice, his tone revealing a bit of caution and doubt. He glanced at Ling Xiao who was walking leisurely in the distance from time to time, secretly calculating various possibilities in his mind.

The woman smiled slightly upon hearing this, and also responded in a voice transmission: "In terms of cultivation, I see that his aura is steady, and his spiritual power fluctuates naturally, which doesn't seem fake. But as you said, he does give people an elusive feeling, as if he is hiding some unknown secret. If you are really interested, why not try it yourself and see what that boy is capable of?"

Her voice was soft and magnetic, yet with a barely perceptible cunningness, as if she was full of anticipation for the show that was about to take place.

The man frowned when he heard this, and after pondering for a moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Probing? Forget it. Since this guy dares to come here alone, he must have something to rely on. If we really kill him by mistake, wouldn't the clues about the treasure be cut off? Moreover, the Imperial Palace is full of traps and experts. Even if he really has the ability to know everything, once he enters the sect, he can't escape easily. How can the Imperial Palace be compared to the Ji family?"

At this point, the man's tone was full of confidence and pride in the strength of the Imperial Palace. He knew very well that as the overlord of one side, the Imperial Palace not only possessed countless natural treasures, but also gathered many top powerhouses. Anyone who dared to challenge its majesty would face unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, he decided to hold back for the time being, bring Ling Xiao back to the sect first, and then slowly uncover the secret behind him.

"Don't underestimate the enemy," the woman warned again, with a serious and warning tone in her voice.
