Chapter 13084 I have a connection with treasures

"Forget it. Since you have made up your mind, why should I waste my breath? However, the truth of this world is often hidden beneath the surface. I hope you can uncover this mystery yourself one day. By the way, do you plan to continue this "competition" between us, or just give up?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Huangzhu's chest rose and fell slightly, and it was obvious that he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.

She took a deep breath of the cool air, trying to calm the anger and unwillingness in her heart. Finally, she slowly waved her sleeves, with a hint of fatigue and compromise in her voice: "Go." These three words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, but also revealed her determination and pride as the master of the Imperial Palace.

She finally chose to give in, not because she was afraid of Ling Xiao, but because she knew that the current entanglement would not benefit the overall situation, and could not save the lives that had passed away. She needed time to sort out her thoughts and investigate the truth, instead of having a meaningless dispute with Ling Xiao here.

However, Ling Xiao's reaction was beyond her expectations. He sneered, and that smile showed both contempt for Emperor Huangzhu's decision and ridicule for his own situation:

"Oh, everyone says 'it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away', it seems I'm going to experience it myself today. You took great pains to invite me here, but now you want to let me go without saying anything. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will?"

Upon hearing this, Di Huangzhu's face changed suddenly, and anger surged in her heart again: "Then what exactly do you want? Our Imperial Palace has already lost a supreme elder, isn't that enough? What exactly do you want to be satisfied?" Her voice was filled with suppressed anger and unwillingness, as if it would explode at any time.

"It's very simple. I have an inexplicable feeling that there is a treasure hidden in your imperial palace that has a deep connection with me. I have made up my mind and plan to take it away. I think you will not have any objections, right?"

Ling Xiao had a warm smile on his face, but behind that smile was an unquestionable determination. His eyes slowly swept over everyone, as if he had seen through everyone's thoughts.

As soon as these words came out, the powerful men in the Imperial Palace all opened their eyes wide, their beards trembled, and the anger in their chests burned like dry wood that had been ignited. They looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, as if they were looking at a lunatic who didn't know his place.

Some people cursed under their breath, while others clenched their fists, wishing they could rush forward and kick the uninvited guest out of the palace.

"You! You are simply going too far!" An old man with white hair and beard pointed at Ling Xiao, his voice trembling with anger, "How can a lowly person like you covet the treasures of my imperial palace?"

Ling Xiao chuckled, and that smile showed both disregard for the old man's anger and confidence in his own strength.

"Haha, why are you all so angry? If you don't want to give up the treasure that is destined for me, then I can only ask the big man behind me to come and take it away personally." His words revealed a strong and irresistible tone.

"To tell you the truth, I am not here on my own, but on someone's behalf. My backer has been coveting this treasure in your imperial palace for a long time, and he specifically ordered me to come and take it away. If you don't know what to do, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."

At this point, Ling Xiao's eyes became deep and complex, as if he could see through everyone and see the powerful existence that was out of reach but within reach. Although his tone was light, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart and making them shudder.

The powerful men in the Imperial Palace looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and anxiety.

They knew very well that the "backer" behind Ling Xiao must be a very important person, otherwise he would not be so fearless. For a moment, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence, with only Ling Xiao's faint laughter echoing in the air, which seemed particularly harsh.

"Don't you always say that you have no one to rely on and no so-called backer?" Di Huangzhu's voice was mixed with anger and doubt that was hard to conceal. Her eyes shot straight at Ling Xiao like a sharp sword, trying to find a flaw in his calm face.

Ling Xiao's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled awkwardly and explained, "Ah...haha, it seems that I just let something slip. Sorry, sorry. The truth is, I don't have any direct backers. This is all just my personal greed. I yearn for that treasure, so I came here presumptuously."

There was a hint of sincerity in his tone, but it could not hide his cunningness.

"Fuck!" There were many hot-tempered people in the imperial palace. After hearing Ling Xiao's contradictory explanation, they were all furious and their indignation was beyond words. They either gnashed their teeth or glared at him. The whole palace was filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Di Huangzhu took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner anger and unwillingness. She stared at Ling Xiao coldly and asked word by word: "What will you do if we refuse to give it to you?" Although her voice was light, it contained unquestionable power, as if even the air was frozen.

Ling Xiao heard this and a cold smile appeared on his lips. His voice suddenly became icy cold, as if it came from the underworld: "You won't give it to me? Then, from tomorrow on, there will no longer be the name of the Imperial Palace in this vast world."

Every word he uttered was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard and making people shudder.

As Ling Xiao finished speaking, the surrounding black fog seemed to respond to his will, becoming thicker and more terrifying. The black fog rolled and twisted in the air, and gradually, it condensed into a huge human-shaped silhouette, emitting a heart-pounding murderous aura.

Although the human figure had not yet fully formed, the pressure it exuded was enough to suffocate all the powerful people in the Imperial Palace present.

Inside the hall, the faces of the powerful men in the Imperial Palace became extremely ugly. They were either shocked, or frightened, or angry. All kinds of complex emotions intertwined together, making the atmosphere in the entire hall even more tense and depressing.

"Arrogant! Ling Xiao is too arrogant!" Some people couldn't help but curse in a low voice, but more of them were deeply afraid of the powerful forces behind Ling Xiao. Because only with enough confidence and strength can one be so calm and arrogant in the face of a behemoth like the Imperial Palace.

Ling Xiao's arrogance grew more and more, and the more arrogant he was, the more fearful people in the Imperial Palace felt, because they knew very well that behind such arrogance there was often a force that could not be underestimated.

However, at this critical moment, there were some people who did not know the current situation. The second supreme elder of the Imperial Palace, who was known for his stubbornness, was one of them.

He sneered, as if he was mocking Ling Xiao's threat, but in fact he was showing off his own stupidity and stubbornness. (End of this chapter)
