Chapter 13156 Chess Game
Having said that, Yang Meng's tone became more firm and powerful, as if he was declaring his determination to the world.

"You may have forgotten where I, Yang Meng, came from. In the past, I was just a bandit, walking on the edge of a knife. I didn't even take the high and mighty beings in the Holy Hall seriously, let alone a mere Ling Xiao?"

His words revealed a kind of unruly and arrogant tone, as if he was recalling the glorious years of the past, and at the same time showing his determination and courage to Qian Baiyun.

"Boss Qian, you only need to tell me the location of that guy. You don't need to ask about the rest, let alone worry about it. I, Yang Meng, never regret anything I do, and I will never let Sitong Commercial Bank be implicated in the slightest. This is my promise to you."

Hearing Yang Meng's unwavering words, a complicated look flashed across Qian Baiyun's face. He sighed softly, and the sigh was long and heavy, as if carrying too much helplessness and choices.

He knew very well that he did not want to get involved in this dispute easily, and even more did not want to offend the mysterious Ling Xiao, but Yang Meng in front of him and the terrifying Soul Clan force behind him forced him to make a choice.

Qian Baiyun's gaze stayed on Yang Meng for a moment. His eyes showed both admiration for Yang Meng's determination and helplessness about his own situation.

Finally, he slowly took out an exquisite jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip exuded a faint spiritual light, and it was obvious that there was a mystery inside. "This is Ling Xiao's current location." His voice was low and firm, and he gently pushed the jade slip to Yang Meng, as if he was passing on a heavy responsibility.

"Thank you!" Yang Meng's voice was also deep and powerful. He took the jade slip, his eyes flashing with determination and firmness. He said nothing more, just nodded slightly to Qian Baiyun, then spread his body, like an eagle spreading its wings, and flew away in an instant, leaving only a faint afterimage, which gradually dissipated in the blue sky and white clouds.

Looking at the direction where Yang Meng left, Qian Baiyun sighed again, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever, and the storm caused by Ling Xiao would eventually set off a huge wave in the martial arts world.

But he knew better that he had made his choice, and no matter what the future held, he would face it calmly and without regrets.

You reap what you sow, that's all.

……

Inside Fuzun Mansion, sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattices and into the spacious hall, adding a bit of warmth and brightness to this solemn place.

In the center of the hall, the Demon Suppression Palace's Lord Long Yingtian sat at the desk, wearing a luxurious golden robe with intricate dragon patterns embroidered on it, demonstrating his supreme status and majesty. He was concentrating on reading the secret report in his hand, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, obviously attaching great importance to the intelligence reported by his subordinates.

In front of him stood a general in black armor, which shone coldly in the sun, complementing the general's stern face. The general stood tall and straight, like an unshakable mountain, exuding a calm temperament of a veteran who had experienced many battles and hardships.

"This kid is good." Long Yingtian gently put down the secret report in his hand, a smile of appreciation appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Although his words were light, they were full of recognition and admiration for Ling Xiao's strength.

"I originally thought that my son Long Chen was already a rare top demon in this Demon Suppression Mansion. Whether it was his cultivation or his wisdom, he was enough to stand out from the crowd." Long Yingtian's tone was a little proud, but then he changed the subject, "I didn't expect that this kid named Ling Xiao actually had such amazing strength. The young are really formidable."

He paused and continued, "Huangquan Bulao Mountain was so glorious in the past, with so many masters, but it was split due to internal strife and its strength was greatly reduced. Even so, it was a force that should not be underestimated. However, Ling Xiao almost slaughtered all the top masters of Huangquan Bulao Mountain by himself, leaving only Yang Meng, Gu Hang and the chief guardian alive. This record is truly amazing."

Long Yingtian's eyes showed both recognition of Ling Xiao's strength and expectations for this young junior. He knew very well that in this turbulent era, every powerful existence could be the key to changing the situation. And Ling Xiao had undoubtedly demonstrated such potential and strength.

"It is obvious that Huangquan Bulaoshan made a fatal mistake in this contest." General Black Armor said in a deep voice. His voice was low and powerful, revealing his deep regret for Huangquan Bulaoshan's wrong decision.

"Perhaps they were too confident, thinking that with the combined efforts of several guardians, they could easily put a figure like Ling Xiao to death. However, the facts gave them a resounding slap in the face. Not only was Ling Xiao not easily defeated as they wished, but he almost wiped out the top forces of Huangquan Bulao Mountain with his astonishing strength.

This is certainly related to the treasure that Ling Xiao may be carrying, but more importantly, this boy himself possesses extraordinary abilities that are beyond ordinary people, which makes people have to look at him with new eyes. "

Hearing this, Long Yingtian nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with deep thought. "Indeed, Ling Xiao's rise has undoubtedly brought new variables to the entire situation."

He spoke slowly, his tone showing both alertness to unknown challenges and affirmation of the potential of the younger generation, "As for Yang Meng, I heard that he has returned from the Soul-Suppressing Mansion. This man has always been mysterious and unpredictable, so we have to be on guard. Have you found out what secret plans he has with the Soul Clan?"

Hearing this, the black-armored general frowned, and it was obvious that he also found this question quite difficult. "This is indeed difficult to understand."

He shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless, "Outside the Demon Suppression House, the intelligence network seems to be powerless, and many messages have become unclear. Especially when it comes to mysterious forces like the Soul Clan, it is even more difficult to spy on their true intentions. At present, the only thing we can be sure of is that there seems to be some kind of connection between Yang Meng and the Soul Clan, but whether this connection is enough to pose a threat is still unknown."

At this point, a look of worry appeared on the black-armored general's face.

"What I am most worried about is that Yang Mengzhen will work together with the Soul Clan to invade the Demon Suppression Mansion, resulting in the loss of lives and the people's livelihood being in misery." He said in a deep voice, his tone full of worry about unknown dangers.

"The Soul Clan has always been unscrupulous in their actions. If they really join forces, the Demon Suppression Mansion will face an unprecedented crisis. And the Holy Hall, that high and mighty existence, has always only cared about its own interests. I'm afraid it is indifferent to the safety of the Demon Suppression Mansion. By then, the only ones who will suffer are the innocent people in the Demon Suppression Mansion."
