Chapter 13160: Take action against Ling Xiao!
The old man knew very well that if he let her meet with an accident due to a momentary impulse, it would be a huge and irreparable loss, and he would never allow such a situation to happen.

As the horn of the competition sounded again, the whole venue was once again filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. The warriors took their positions one after another, ready to face the next challenge.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the space behind the old man suddenly began to fluctuate subtly. A golden light quietly emerged and condensed into an illusory figure.

The figure was tall and straight, with a handsome face, and dressed in a glittering golden robe. He seemed like a god of war descended from the sky, with an indescribable majesty and dignity.

"Holy Lord!" The old man was shocked when he saw this, and he bowed quickly, his tone full of awe and loyalty. The surrounding warriors also cast surprised glances at him, they were curious and full of awe for this mysterious young man who suddenly appeared.

"No thanks." The young man spoke calmly. His voice was gentle, but it was as gentle as spring breeze and rain, warm and majestic. He waved his hand lightly, indicating that the old man did not need to be polite.

"You did a good job. We do need to be cautious when dealing with someone like Ling Xiao. Although the younger generation is aggressive, they are still inexperienced and should not take risks lightly. To deal with him, we, the older generation of strong men, still need to take action personally."

The young man's words revealed a profound wisdom and decisiveness, which made the old man feel his accurate grasp of the situation and his careful consideration of the future of the temple.

"Are you going to take action against Ling Xiao?" The old man's voice was full of excitement, and his eyes were gleaming with the flame of revenge. He knew very well that the name Ling Xiao was no longer just a name for the East Sea Holy Hall. It symbolized shame and hatred.

The lives that fell in the southern and northern holy temples were like heavy chains, binding their hearts and reminding them of the hatred that they could not forget.

"This man is arrogant and conceited. He dared to be so arrogant in the East China Sea. He is simply courting death." The old man gritted his teeth and continued, "He killed our Saint Hall warriors. No matter what his identity is, it is a provocation to the majesty of our Saint Hall.

What's more, he is carrying a treasure that has attracted the covetousness of various forces. Even Yang Meng, the owner of Huangquan Bulao Mountain, came to the temple in person to complain. Martial arts families such as the Ji family and the Jiang family, as well as business giants such as Bada Commercial Bank and Sitong Commercial Bank also came one after another and demanded an explanation from our temple.

As the leader of the martial arts world, our Holy Hall cannot sit idly by and must assume the responsibility of maintaining justice and order."

The Holy Lord's voice was calm and firm, yet it carried an unquestionable force: "Yes, this matter concerns the face and dignity of our church and must be handled properly.

But more importantly, after our investigation, we found that this person was actually a demon cultivator, a cancer lurking in the dark, attempting to subvert the martial arts world.

The demon cultivators and our Holy Hall are natural enemies. Their existence is a huge threat to the entire martial arts world. Therefore, no matter what the reason, this person must die to prevent future troubles. "

At this point, the Holy Lord's eyes became extremely cold, as if he could penetrate the void and look directly at Ling Xiao. His words showed both his firm belief in the future of the Holy Hall and his deep hatred and intolerance for the Demon Cultivators.

At this moment, he was no longer the gentle young man, but became a steadfast guardian of the peace of the martial arts world.

"The Holy Lord is wise, but who should we send?" The old man's words showed admiration for the Holy Lord's decision, as well as a hint of curiosity and worry. He knew very well that to deal with a strong man like Ling Xiao, he had to send a force that could match him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The Holy Lord nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Since we want to kill this man, we must go all out and not make any mistakes. I have ordered the Fourth Bishop to go there in person. He is a strong man at the peak of the Tianhe Realm and will definitely be able to complete the task."

After saying this, the Holy Lord’s figure seemed to blend into the air and disappeared silently, leaving only a faint aftertaste echoing in the air.

"The Fourth Bishop!" The old man was shocked when he heard this, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. He knew very well the Fourth Bishop's position and strength in the church, which was enough to intimidate others.

Now, the Holy Lord actually sent him to deal with Ling Xiao, which shows how seriously he takes this matter. The old man couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the Holy Lord's move was undoubtedly a bombshell to the entire martial arts world.

As time went by, the competition in the temple slowly came to an end. In this competition that brought together countless young talents, Xiao Ruolin won the third place with her outstanding strength and tenacious will.

However, she seemed a little annoyed with this result. Standing on the podium, looking at the two trophies in front of her that symbolized higher honors, Xiao Ruolin's eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness and regret.

She knew that she could have done better, but because of some minor mistakes she missed the opportunity to go further. This sense of frustration was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to let go.

"If I can get the treasure from Ling Xiao, the first place in this competition will definitely be mine." Xiao Ruolin's eyes flashed with determination, and her words revealed an unquestionable confidence.

She knew very well that the gap between her and the first place was not in strength, but in the lack of the treasure that could decide the outcome. This regret, like a sharp blade, cut her heart and also aroused her desire for the treasure on Ling Xiao.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruofeng became extremely anxious. He knew his sister's temper very well. Once she made a decision, she would not change it easily.

He hurried forward and grabbed Xiao Ruolin's sleeve, his voice filled with pleading and worry: "Sister, do you really want to go find Ling Xiao? But the elders have repeatedly warned us not to act rashly. The forces behind Ling Xiao are complicated, what if..."

Xiao Ruolin stopped, turned around, and glared at Xiao Ruofeng with a sharp gaze.

Her eyes showed both love for her brother and unquestionable determination: "You have two choices now. The first is to follow me and face unknown challenges together. The second is to stay here, but please shut up and don't shake my determination with those unnecessary worries."

Xiao Ruofeng looked at his elder sister's determined eyes. Although he was extremely reluctant, he also knew that he could not change her decision. He sighed helplessly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but then he became firm again.

He knew very well that he could not be a burden to his elder sister, but should be her strongest support. So he nodded, followed closely behind Xiao Ruolin, and embarked on this unknown and challenging road.

The two walked one after the other through the corridor of the church. The sunlight shone on them through the window, adding a bit of warmth to the tense atmosphere.
