Chapter 13097 Don't Seek Death for a Sword

Ling Xiao could tell at a glance that this old man was no ordinary person. His cultivation had reached the Tongtian realm and his strength was unfathomable.

However, facing such a strong man, Ling Xiao did not show any fear or retreat. Instead, he smiled and replied, "Okay, since the shopkeeper invites me, I will go."

His smile was full of calmness and confidence, as if everything was under control. He knew very well that there was no shameful secret in his trip, so he did not need to worry or be concerned.

So he followed the old man through the bustling hall of Sitong Trading Company and came to a quiet room deep in the company.

The house was indeed large, spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people without being crowded. The light inside was soft and the layout was exquisite. Every detail revealed the owner's elegant taste and extraordinary financial resources.

Several elegant landscape paintings hang on the wall, adding a touch of literati atmosphere to this luxurious space. In the center of the room stands an exquisite sandalwood table with a complete set of tea sets, as if ready to welcome guests for tea tasting at any time.

The woman sitting at the sandalwood table is the most eye-catching person in the room.

She was probably in her thirties, at the prime of her beauty. Her charming figure seemed like a fairy walking out of a painting. With her every frown and smile, her eyes flickered and her charming demeanor, she could easily capture any man's heart.

Although her clothes are not complicated, they are well-cut and perfectly outline her graceful curves, making people take a second look.

"Sister wants to see the treasure on your body, can I?" The woman's voice was gentle and magnetic, like a spring breeze, but with a hint of irresistibility.

She stood up gently, her body swaying gracefully, and slowly approached Lingxiao. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose. It was her unique fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy, but they did not dare to be easily intoxicated.

Ling Xiao smiled calmly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He gently turned sideways, avoiding the woman's overly intimate movements, and said with a bit of teasing in his tone:

"You're welcome, sister. However, it seems that we haven't reached the stage of sleeping in the same bed yet. How can I show my baby to others so easily? If anyone really wants to see it, it should be my beloved one who has this honor."

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept across the two old men standing at the door. One of them was the one who brought him here earlier. His cultivation had reached the sixth level of Tongtian Realm. He had a calm aura and was intimidating without even getting angry.

The other old man was even more eye-catching. He stood there like a towering mountain, making people feel awe. Ling Xiao could feel that the old man's cultivation had reached the seventh level of Tongtian Realm, and his strength was unfathomable.

However, facing such a situation, Ling Xiao still maintained calmness and composure on his face, as if everything was under control.

Although the two men closed their eyes to rest, the aura around them was like an invisible chain, tightly locking onto Ling Xiao's every slight movement, as if as long as he made any unusual move, the two powerful auras would instantly turn into fierce attacks and envelope him.

There was a subtle tension and confrontation in the air, which made people hold their breath involuntarily.

"Haha, Young Master Ling is indeed an interesting person." The woman chuckled, and her laughter contained both a bit of admiration for Ling Xiao and an unquestionable majesty and threat.

"In that case, there is no need for me to beat around the bush. According to rumors, you are holding a treasure from the former Demon Sect. Why not take it out today and let me see its true appearance."

Her voice is soft and magnetic, but every word seems to be carefully crafted, revealing a firmness that cannot be refused.

Ling Xiao heard this and a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if he had expected this scene. He raised his hand slightly, and his fingertips moved slightly. A black shadow instantly cut through the air and landed steadily in his palm.

"Since you want to see it, just tell me directly." Ling Xiao's words were full of amusement. He slowly opened his palm, revealing the long-dormant Black Sky Sword of the Demon Lord.

The sword was as dark as night, emitting a faint cold light, as if it could devour all light and vitality. On the blade, mysterious and ancient runes flowed, revealing a heart-pounding power.

"This is it, the Black Sky Sword of the Demon Lord, one of the ten great swords of Bai Ze Continent." Ling Xiao gently stroked the sword, a trace of nostalgia and pride flashing in his eyes, "Although it is not one of the four great treasures of the Demon Sect, its power is strong enough to drive heroes all over the world crazy."

The woman stared at the sword, a gleam of disbelief flashing in her eyes. Her breathing involuntarily became rapid, as if she was shocked by the powerful aura emanating from the sword.

There was greed and desire in her eyes, as well as a trace of awe and fear of unknown power. The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, a name that once made countless people crazy, now lay quietly in Ling Xiao's hands, exuding an intoxicating charm.

"Sister likes this sword. Please name a price and sell the sword to me." The woman held the sword and was unwilling to let it go.

"Sister, your words really put me in a difficult position." Ling Xiao shook his head gently, with a hint of indifference and disdain in his eyes.

"In trouble? Young Master Ling, you are wrong." Upon hearing this, the woman frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in her tone.

"It's just a sword, why does it make you so embarrassed? If you are willing to give it up, I can not only guarantee your safety, but also let Sitong Commercial Bank become your solid backing. Why wouldn't you take such a deal?"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and that smile showed both indifference to the woman's threat and cold murderous intent.

“Sister, you misunderstood. It’s not that I don’t want to trade, it’s just…” He deliberately prolonged his voice, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"I just think that it would be a real pity if a woman as stunningly beautiful as my sister died here because of a mere sword."

The woman's face instantly turned livid when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. She glared at Ling Xiao, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"You!" She yelled, her voice full of anger and unwillingness. Her eyes were like a cold blade, piercing Ling Xiao's heart, as if to completely break down his inner defenses.

The next moment, the woman just gave a look, and the two old men at the door disappeared like ghosts, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

They rushed towards Ling Xiao at lightning speed, and the air was filled with a strong murderous aura and sense of urgency. The old men's movements were swift and powerful, and every step revealed their profound cultivation and absolute obedience to the woman's orders.

Ling Xiao's mouth curled up into a scornful smile, which contained disdain for the woman's greed and threats, as well as indifference to what was about to happen. (End of this chapter)
