Chapter 13083 Come and hit me
Upon hearing this, Di Huangzhu's mouth twitched slightly. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but more of it was fear of the powerful force that might exist behind Ling Xiao.

She sneered, her voice carrying a hint of chill, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's so easy to fool? If you didn't have someone to rely on, how dare you be so arrogant in the Imperial Palace? Who is the person behind you?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled even more. He shook his head slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "Lord Palace Master, your imagination is too rich. I, Ling Xiao, always act according to my heart and never rely on anyone. As for those so-called 'people behind the scenes' you mentioned, they are just some misunderstandings and exaggerated rumors about me from the outside world."

"Really, stop guessing, my dear sister. There is really nothing behind me. The so-called guidance from masters and protection from powerful people are all rumors from outside. Just listen to them and forget about it."

There was a hint of cunning in Ling Xiao's smile, and he deliberately made his tone casual and relaxed, as if he was really just telling a harmless joke.

"As for the 'Demon Soul King' I just mentioned, hey, that was purely my improvisation, just to tease you. Look, I'm standing here fine, without even a shadow hiding. If you don't believe me, then come and hit me! See if there is anyone to protect me?"

As he spoke, he deliberately took a step forward, as if he was inviting Emperor Huangzhu to a duel without any suspense. However, it was this seemingly careless provocation that made the fear in Emperor Huangzhu's heart grow like wild weeds.

She stared at Ling Xiao, her beautiful eyes flashing with complex lights, showing both fear of the unknown and deep suspicion about the possible hidden forces behind Ling Xiao.

Di Huangzhu knew that once she took action, she might reach the edge of some unpredictable danger. She could feel that the terrifying aura in the air, although it seemed to come from Ling Xiao, was actually more like some more ancient and powerful force spying in the dark.

She couldn't help but wonder, if this was really Ling Xiao's trump card, then the "Demon Soul King" behind him might really exist, and be powerful enough to make the entire imperial palace tremble.

Therefore, even though she was burning with rage and wished to tear Ling Xiao into pieces immediately, her reason told her that forbearance was the wisest choice at the moment.

Of course, if Emperor Huangzhu really decides to take action regardless of the consequences, then the Demon Soul King, the legendary existence hidden in the dark, will intervene with unquestionable power and reverse the situation in an instant.

This is not only a protection for Ling Xiao, but also an invisible warning to Di Huangzhu, reminding her not to easily touch the bottom line of certain taboos.

Ling Xiao smiled secretly in his heart but maintained a calm and composed look on his face. He knew very well that using this mysterious and terrifying aura as a deterrent had already made Emperor Huangzhu feel fearful, thus achieving the effect he expected.

Looking at Di Huangzhu's eyes flashing with doubt and surprise, he knew that she had begun to guess his cards.

“The person behind you may not be the legendary Demon Soul King. That dreaded forbidden existence has long since sunk into the abyss of history with the passage of time, leaving no trace.” There was some uncertainty in Emperor Huangzhu's voice, but it was more of a test and speculation.

"However, I firmly believe that there must be a master behind you helping you... Let me think carefully. Although the Empress' Palace is powerful, it does not match your style of doing things; the Holy Hall also has a grudge against you, and it is even less likely to help you. So... could it be that... the power behind you is the legendary Fu Zun Mansion?!"

Her words exploded in the air like thunder, and Di Huangzhu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret. Her body trembled slightly, and she was obviously shocked to the extreme by this guess.

Fuzun Mansion, this name exists like a god in the Demon Suppression Mansion. It is not only a symbol of power, but also a synonym for mystery. In the entire Demon Suppression Mansion, only Fuzun Mansion can compete with the Holy Hall. Its power and mystery make everyone feel awe.

Hearing this, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he muttered to himself: "This woman's brain is really not to be underestimated. She can actually guess the location of Fu Zun Mansion." However, he remained calm on the surface, just smiled faintly, as if everything was under control.

Speaking of which, it seems that Ling Xiao really has a solid backer hidden in the deep and complex power network of Fuzun Mansion, and that is his brother, Long Chen.

Long Chen, this name is well-known in Fuzun Mansion. He is not only a symbol of strength, but also the embodiment of wisdom and courage.

Legend has it that he could single-handedly crush a master like Ji Haisheng. His power was so strong that even when facing a strong man like Emperor Huangzhu, the Lord of the Imperial Palace, he only needed a light palm strike to decide his life or death.

Facing Di Huangzhu's doubts and speculations, Ling Xiao gently waved his hand with a calm yet graceful smile on his face, as if he was comforting an overly nervous child:

"Palace Master Dihuangzhu, you are really worrying too much. I, Ling Xiao, am just an insignificant person. How can I have any prominent backers?

Not to mention the lofty Fuzun Mansion, I know very little about it. I can even say that before I met you, I had never really heard of the name Fuzun Mansion, so how could I have anything to do with it? Don't be misled by the rumors outside."

However, Ling Xiao's earnest explanation sounded more like a cover-up to Di Huangzhu.

She stared at Ling Xiao's eyes, trying to catch a trace of panic or uneasiness in them, but unfortunately, all she saw was calmness and confidence. This made Di Huangzhu more convinced that Ling Xiao must have a behemoth like Fuzun Mansion to support him.

"You're lying!" Di Huangzhu's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness. A clear chain of logic had already formed in her mind:
The demise of the Ji family, the tragic death of the head of the Huang family, the disappearance of Huang Xiangu, all these seemingly unrelated events actually point to a common behind-the-scenes mastermind - Fuzun Mansion. And Ling Xiao is one of the "hands" that this mastermind reaches out to Zhenmo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Di Huangzhu's heart couldn't help but feel a chill. She realized that she might be in the middle of a huge conspiracy, and the mastermind of this conspiracy was the mysterious and powerful Fu Zunfu.

She couldn't help but sigh: "The methods used by this mansion master are really cruel and resolute. In order to cover up the truth, they even killed people to silence them. Such behavior is really chilling and terrible!"

“Look at you, I have repeatedly reiterated that I have nothing to do with Fuzun Mansion, but you are still stubborn and refuse to believe it…” Ling Xiao sighed lightly and shook his head, his expression showing both helplessness and a bit of self-mockery.
