Chapter 13157 Shangguan Wan'er
Long Yingtian's eyes became more solemn. He knew that the Black Armor General's worries were not groundless. As the Lord of the Demon Suppression Mansion, he shouldered the responsibility of protecting this land and the people, and any possible threats could not be taken lightly.

Therefore, we can cleverly use Ling Xiao's power and make it a chess piece in our hands. Long Yingtian raised a meaningful smile, which showed that he was confident about the situation and had a faint expectation for unknown challenges.

"Yang Meng thought he could help the Soul Clan invade our Demon Suppression Mansion by himself, but he didn't know that we have already laid a net. Let Ling Xiao, this sharp double-edged sword, completely cut off his beautiful dream and let him know who is the real controller in this Demon Suppression Mansion."

Long Yingtian's eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he continued, "Pay close attention to Ling Xiao's every move, including his every breath and every change in his eyes. We should follow him silently like a shadow, but we should be able to help him in the most appropriate way when he needs it most.

Remember, our principle is: no direct exposure, no head-on conflict, but in the dark, we can be his strongest backing and his most unexpected ally. "

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became solemn and profound because of Long Yingtian's words, as if even the air had solidified. Hearing this, the black-armored general frowned, his face full of worry and responsibility.

"However, Lord Fuzun, since Ling Xiao stepped into the Demon Suppression City, this once peaceful city is no longer peaceful. Rumors are spreading and people are in panic. If we continue to let this go, I'm afraid it will really cause a turmoil that is difficult to control. As the managers of the Demon Suppression City, should we take action to deter them?"

Long Yingtian shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a deep insight and a subtle smile, and he slowly said: "Shock? You have a point, but in my opinion, what Ling Xiao is doing at this moment is like a stream of fresh air, impacting those long-standing chronic diseases that we have been wanting to move but dare not move.

Bada Commercial Bank, Sitong Commercial Bank, and even Huangquan Bulao Mountain and those deep-rooted big families have been at ease for too long. It is time for someone to stand up and give them some warnings, so that they know that the sky of the Demon Suppression Mansion is not something they can cover up with one hand. "

After he finished speaking, Long Yingtian's gaze seemed to penetrate the space and look into the distant future. His calmness and confidence made everyone present feel a strong leadership charisma.

Hearing this, the black-armored general's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he suddenly understood. He bowed and praised sincerely: "Your Excellency is wise, and I am stupid and can't do this. In this way, after these forces feel threatened, they will naturally seek our protection. In this way, not only will we strengthen our actual control over the Demon Suppression Mansion, but we can also invisibly enhance the status of the Mansion of the Excellency in the hearts of the people. It is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone."

The black-armored general's words were full of excitement and expectation, as if he had seen the harmonious progress of the Demon Suppression House in the future. Long Yingtian smiled slightly, and that smile showed both confidence in the success of the plan and indifference to unknown challenges.

"You don't have to be too modest. Everyone looks at the problem from different angles, and naturally their conclusions are different. However, the other possibility you mentioned is indeed worthy of our attention. They may seek refuge in the Empress Palace and the Holy Temple when they are desperate.

But isn't this also an opportunity for us? If we can involve these two major forces in this turmoil and let them check and balance each other with these business houses and families, we can reap the benefits and further consolidate the stability and unity of the Demon Suppression House."

At this point, Long Yingtian's eyes became even deeper, as if he had already drawn an intricate political map in his mind.

"By then, the entire Demon Suppression House will be united as one, like an indestructible rock. Any external forces, including the restless Soul Clan, will find it difficult to find an opportunity to take advantage of them. This is our ultimate goal."

……

In the magnificent palace of the Empress, the sun shines through the exquisite glazed windows, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of warmth to this solemn place. However, in this warmth, there seems to be a subtle chill hidden.

Dressed in a gorgeous and intricate phoenix robe, the Empress Qian Feng sat on the throne. The throne was carved from thousand-year-old cold jade and emitted a faint cold glow, which formed a sharp contrast with the fiery red on her body.

She gently rubbed her temple, revealing a bit of fatigue and helplessness in her movements. Ever since the Empress Palace became independent from many forces and became a hegemon, she has been carrying an unprecedented burden on her shoulders. The affairs she needs to deal with every day are piled up like a mountain, making her deeply feel the taste of "it's lonely at the top".

"Your Majesty," a voice broke the silence in the hall. It was a woman with pretty appearance and refined temperament standing below.

There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in her voice, and it was obvious that she was extremely concerned about something. "That Ling Xiao has actually destroyed Huangquan Bulao Mountain. His power is so fierce that it is astonishing. If we don't take action, the legendary treasure will probably fall into Yang Meng's hands."

The woman's words revealed her fear of Ling Xiao's strength, as well as her worry that the treasure might fall into the hands of the enemy. She clenched her fists, and her eyes flashed with complex emotions, including her unwillingness to accept Ling Xiao's powerful strength, and her deep worry about the future fate of the Empress' Palace.

Faced with Wan'er's urgency, Empress Qian Feng did not respond immediately. She slowly put down her hand massaging her temple and looked into the distance with deep eyes, as if she had penetrated the walls of the palace and saw farther away. Her expression was still as calm as water, without the slightest ripple, making it difficult to guess what she was really thinking at the moment.

"Wan'er," Empress Qian Feng finally spoke, her voice cold and steady, with unquestionable majesty, "Do you really want to kill Ling Xiao?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with determination. She took a step forward, her voice filled with determination and worry: "Lady Empress, Ling Xiao is not only an enemy of my Shangguan family, but also a potential threat to you. He wants to avenge that old man because of a personal grudge, and he deserves death. If we sit back and watch him grow stronger, I'm afraid he will become a hidden danger that is difficult to control in the future, bringing endless troubles to the Empress's Palace."

Her tone revealed her defense of the family's honor and her deep concern for the safety of the Empress's Palace. At this point, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with complex emotions, including grief for the death of a family member and fear of Ling Xiao's rapid growth in strength.

After all, Ling Xiao's reputation has been so loud recently that she hears people bragging about him almost every day.
