Chapter 13087 This revenge is hard to avenge
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely heavy, as if even the air had solidified.
"Wait!" Emperor Huangzhu's voice echoed in the empty hall, with unquestionable majesty and a hint of imperceptible fatigue. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see through the essence of everything in the world, but she was also covered with a layer of melancholy because of the decline of the imperial palace.
She paced slowly, and each step seemed extremely heavy, as if carrying the fate of the entire imperial palace and its past glory.
"Now is definitely not the best time for us to take revenge." Her words revealed a helpless firmness. Her eyes swept over everyone in the hall, taking in every detail.
"Although the light of that treasure is dazzling, it is like the tail of a poisonous scorpion. We cannot easily touch it. The Imperial Palace is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Our strength is no longer enough to compete head-on with the three major forces. But please remember that our existence is a victory in itself. We did not follow the footsteps of the Jiang Family and the Ji Family and completely disappear in the long river of history. This is something we should be thankful for."
Having said that, Di Huangzhu's tone softened slightly, as if he was giving a little comfort to everyone, as well as comforting himself.
"Wait a moment. The greed in this world is endless. That treasure will surely become the target of public criticism. The Empress Palace and the Holy Temple will surely be eager to take it for themselves. We just need to wait and see, and then make plans when the time is right.
We must take revenge, but it is not something that can be achieved in a moment of bravery. I firmly believe that no matter how powerful the enemy is, he will have his weaknesses. That kid can't always be at his peak. He will always get hurt and tired. "
Everyone nodded when they heard this, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes - some agreed with Emperor Huangzhu's decision, and some felt helpless and unwilling to accept the current situation of the Imperial Palace. They knew that the Palace Master in front of them, although seemingly indifferent, actually cared about the Imperial Palace and took every step very cautiously, just to preserve the last spark of the Imperial Palace.
However, at this moment, Di Pan's voice broke the silence in the hall, with a hint of worry.
"Palace Master, what you said is absolutely right, but..." He paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words, "If that kid really has the support of the Fu Zun Mansion behind him, even the Empress Palace and the Holy Hall would probably think twice before acting, and would not want to easily make enemies. After all, the majesty and strength of the Fu Zun Mansion cannot be easily shaken by us."
A meaningful smile appeared on Di Huangzhu's lips. In that smile, there was a deep insight into human nature, as well as a hint of helpless mockery towards the world.
"You still don't understand. The temptation of treasures is far beyond what you and I can imagine." She shook her head gently, her eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of clouds and mist, looking directly into the greed and desire in the deepest part of people's hearts. "Especially the Holy Temple and the Empress Palace, these two major forces, which one is not ambitious and has an endless pursuit of power?"
"The Holy Hall," she continued, her voice becoming more serious, "If they want to maintain their supreme position in the Demon Suppression House, they must continue to seek breakthroughs. That treasure is undoubtedly the opportunity they have been dreaming of. For them, this is not only an increase in strength, but also a consolidation of their status. It is an opportunity they cannot miss."
Then, Emperor Huangzhu's gaze turned to another direction, as if he could see the distant and mysterious Empress' Palace.
"And the demon girl in the Empress's Palace is even more ambitious. Her mind is as deep as the sea. How could she be willing to be inferior to the Holy Hall and the Palace of the Supreme? What she pursues is not only the peak of power, but also the control of the entire world. How could she let go of such an opportunity so easily? She will definitely fight for the treasure at all costs to prove her strength and ambition."
……
Guidao, this mysterious place hidden in the vast East China Sea, is now not only a refuge for Ling Xiao, but also a safe haven in his heart.
On the island, the demon soul beast Ah Dai quietly guards this area. Its huge body and deep eyes reveal an inviolable majesty, which deters anyone with ill intentions. Ah Dai's existence is like an invisible barrier, isolating the outside world's disturbances and dangers, giving Ling Xiao a rare peace.
In this land shrouded by nature and mysterious forces, Ling Xiao felt an unprecedented sense of security. He knew that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, as long as he was on the strange island, he could temporarily forget about the pursuit and conspiracy.
The eyes of the entire East China Sea may be focused on him, and every slight movement may become a clue for others to spy on him, but here, he can let down his guard and relax his tense nerves for a moment.
Turning his eyes to the side, Jin Yan was immersed in cultivation, surrounded by increasingly hot and pure golden flames. The power contained in the flames seemed to be ready to burst out at any time, shaking the heaven and earth.
Ling Xiao looked at this scene, and an indescribable feeling of relief and pride welled up in his heart. Jin Yan's growth was the best proof of his efforts and persistence during this period, and was also an indispensable partner and helper on his future path.
Looking back, Ling Xiao's eyes flickered with a hint of satisfaction and anticipation. He slowly sat down and began to carefully count the spoils he had accumulated after going through all the hardships during this period of time.
Among the numerous spoils of war, in addition to the rich resources obtained through unremitting efforts and the destruction of the Ji family and the Jiang family in one fell swoop, what shocked and delighted Ling Xiao the most was the treasure from the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace, this huge building that once shone brightly over the East China Sea and dominated the world, even though it has lost its former glory, its profound heritage is still astonishing.
Finally, when Ling Xiao classified and summarized all the spoils, he was surprised to find that the number of high-quality spirit stones reached an astonishing 500 million. In the resource-rich East China Sea, high-quality spirit stones have long become an important measure of wealth and strength.
They can not only be used for cultivation and improving cultivation, but also as hard currency in transactions, which can be exchanged for treasures and resources that most cultivators dream of. More than 500 million high-quality spirit stones are an unimaginable huge fortune for anyone, enough for Ling Xiao to gain a firm foothold in the cultivation world of the East China Sea, and even go further.
In this vast East China Sea, the economic system operates in its own unique way. As the core medium of transactions, the status of high-quality spiritual stones is unshakable. It not only represents the accumulation of wealth, but also a symbol of strength and status.
Compared to the slightly limited purchasing power of mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones can access more high-end and rare commodities and resources, and their value is naturally self-evident. Ling Xiao knows this very well. Whenever he holds these spirit stones that exude a warm and lustrous luster in his hands, he can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart.
