Chapter 13094 Don't Provoke Him For Now
Although the old man's words were brief, they were like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing the middle-aged man's heart.
He understood that although he had failed, this failure was not meaningless. It made him see how unfathomable Ling Xiao was, and also made the elders of the Imperial Palace begin to re-examine this mysterious strong man.
The old man did not seem to be very disappointed, but was vaguely surprised. He was surprised that even though his realm had dropped significantly, Ling Xiao could still be so strong. This was really an unexpected thing.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice:
"Although his realm has plummeted, he is extremely calm, and even strong. He must have something to rely on. Moreover, the two little girls beside him are definitely not simple. Although these two little girls look harmless, once they start fighting, they are extremely terrifying. Anyway, one of them cannot be defeated by my subordinates with their abilities."
The middle-aged man's tone was full of awe and emotion. His words not only portrayed Ling Xiao's calmness and strength, but also made special mention of the two little girls who seemed ordinary but were incredibly powerful.
There was a hint of fear in his eyes. Obviously, the two little girls left a very deep impression on him. He knew very well that the strength of these two little girls should not be underestimated, as they could follow a figure like Ling Xiao.
The voice in the jade token was silent for a long time, as if the old man was also savoring the middle-aged man's words and thinking about the deep meaning behind them.
After a long while, the voice sounded again, with a bit of determination and depth: "We in Huangquan Bulao Mountain should not get involved in this matter for the time being. If I am not mistaken, the news that Ling Xiao came to Zhenmo City should spread quickly. By then, many people will cause trouble for him. Then, we will know what cards he has!"
The old man's decision seemed both cautious and wise. He knew that in this turbulent world, acting rashly would only bring unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he chose to wait and see and make plans when the time was right.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Elder, other forces are not making any moves at this time?"
The middle-aged man's voice was low and solemn, revealing his deep concern about the current situation. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes penetrated the void, as if trying to spy on the movements of those forces hidden in the dark.
His words not only showed his doubts about the current situation, but also his vigilance against unknown threats.
The voice in the jade card said: "Because of this, this is the most terrifying. They are either afraid of each other, or they dare not move. No matter what, just watch and watch! If you are not careful, it may be a disaster. We must not be careless!"
The voice coming from the jade token was like a shrewd elder whispering in his ear, and every word struck the middle-aged man's heartstrings.
The voice contained profound wisdom and insight into worldly affairs, which made the middle-aged man stand in awe. He knew very well that the elder's words were not alarmist, but an accurate assessment of the current complex situation.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded firmly, his eyes flashing with determination and obedience. He knew that at this time, any rash action might push the sect into an abyss of no return.
Therefore, he had to remain calm, obey the elders' instructions, and wait and see what happened.
He put away the jade token with a quick and decisive movement, as if he was showing his determination to himself and everyone else.
Then, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. The humiliation and unwillingness of having his things taken away by Ling Xiao weighed on his heart like a huge rock, but he knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions.
He must endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden for the sake of the sect's future.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, his voice full of unquestionable majesty. He turned and looked at the warriors behind him, their eyes were also filled with complicated emotions.
……
Under the vast starry sky, deep and vast, countless stars are like tiny diamonds inlaid on black satin, shining with distant and mysterious light.
In this boundless cosmic painting, an airship shuttles leisurely. Its body is as light as a meteor that streaks through the night sky, dragging a faint glow behind it, leaving behind a series of gorgeous trails, which is particularly eye-catching in the silent sea of stars.
Ling Xiao sat quietly on the deck of the airship, his legs crossed, his hands gently folded on his knees, his eyes closed and focused, immersed in the deep state of cultivation.
His breathing was long and steady, and every breath seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. There was a faint spiritual light flowing around his body, which was a sign that the strength in his body was slowly growing.
Although the road ahead is unknown and full of challenges and variables, his eyes reveal determination and indomitable spirit, because he knows that only by constantly becoming stronger can he protect everything he cherishes in this world where the strong are respected.
Ali and Tongtong, the two lively and lovely little ones, were tired from playing and curled up beside Lingxiao, their faces filled with satisfied and peaceful smiles. Their breathing was even and subtle, as if even their dreams were sweet.
For them, being able to snuggle up to Ling Xiao and feel his warm and powerful breath is the greatest happiness and peace in the world.
Ling Xiao looked at them tenderly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He never forced them to practice, because at this age, enjoying the happiness and innocence of childhood was far more important than shouldering heavy responsibilities too early.
One morning a few days later, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the airship, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. His gaze penetrated the heavy clouds and fell on the distant horizon.
There, a magnificent city wall suddenly appeared, spanning the sky, as if it was a masterpiece of nature and human wisdom. It was so wide that it was daunting and there was no visible end at all.
The height of the city wall is even more astonishing, at least hundreds of miles long, reaching into the sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
And in the center of the city wall, a wide and flat stone road is clearly visible. It is like a silver ribbon, running across the east and west, leading to the end of the city.
On both sides of the avenue, the outlines of buildings with carved beams and painted rafters can be vaguely seen. Although I haven't gotten close to them, their simplicity and solemnity are already awe-inspiring.
Occasionally, pedestrians or carriages would pass by in a hurry on the cobblestone avenue, leaving behind a series of crisp horse hoof sounds and laughter, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this ancient and mysterious city.
Above the center of the city wall, three powerful and golden characters "Demon Suppression Mansion" are clearly visible. They seem to be marks carved by ancient times, revealing an inviolable majesty and solemnity.
These three characters, every stroke contains a great power and a profound history, which makes people feel awe. (End of this chapter)
