Chapter 13164 Unexplained Death
After finishing all this, she smiled, with a bit of gentleness and kindness in her smile, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, you may as well stop by our company and enjoy a simple meal. Although our food here is not as delicious as the delicacies from land and sea, it is also carefully prepared and much better than ordinary restaurants outside."

Ling Xiao thought about it for a moment, but finally shook his head with a firm look. "Thank you for your kindness, but I have something urgent to attend to, so I can't stay for long." His words revealed a hint of apology, but more of an unquestionable determination.

He knew very well that in the world of martial arts, time was often more valuable than money, and not a single minute or a second could be wasted.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman said nothing more, but smiled slightly to show her understanding. "If that's the case, then I won't force you. I hope I can have the opportunity to cooperate with you next time." Her words were full of politeness and expectation, and she was obviously impressed by this generous and decisive customer.

Ling Xiao nodded, responding to the beautiful woman's wish. When he turned around, his steps were light and firm, as if every step was on the solid foundation of the martial arts path.

Although he felt a little puzzled about the sudden compromise of the beautiful woman, since the deal was done, he was unwilling to delve into it. After all, in this martial arts world where the strong are respected, only by keeping a low profile and being cautious can one go further.

In the VIP room, as Ling Xiao's resolute figure disappeared outside the door, the beautiful woman's face gradually darkened. Complex emotions flashed in her deep eyes, including desire for the benefits that were about to be obtained, and caution about unknown dangers.

"Hasn't found out about this person's background?" Her voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then a low and secretive voice sounded quietly from the shadows beside him, "No, this person seemed to appear out of thin air, and the background was disturbingly clean." There was a bit of helplessness and confusion in the voice, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with not being able to grasp Ling Xiao's background.

The beautiful woman couldn't help but frown when she heard this, as if she could hold all the worries and doubts in the world. She pondered for a moment, secretly calculating Ling Xiao's identity and strength in her heart, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

At this moment, the voice sounded again, with a tone of admonition, "This person can easily take out such a rare item, and he has at least 100 million high-grade spirit stones. He is obviously not an ordinary person. It is better for us not to take action to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer, which contained both a mockery of greed and a desire for a challenge.

"Besides the two Soul-Breaking Grasses, this man also has such a huge fortune. How can we let him go so easily?" Her words revealed a determination and ruthlessness.

"Don't forget, we carefully prepared the Soul-Breaking Grassland for the Soul Clan Master. If we give it to others easily, we will not only lose our interests, but also offend that high and mighty being. For our company, it will undoubtedly destroy our future."

The voice seemed to be infected by the determination of the beautiful woman, but it still maintained a certain degree of caution. "But, if this person is really a tough guy, won't we be in danger?"

The beautiful woman snorted coldly, with a look of determination in her eyes. "Hmph, a mere warrior, no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the two of us who are at the peak of the Tongtian Realm? In the face of absolute strength, all tricks are in vain. As long as we plan carefully and act cautiously, why should we be afraid of a mere one of him?"

Her tone was full of confidence and determination, as if she had seen the dawn of success. However, behind this confidence, there were also unknown risks and challenges.

After all, in the world of martial arts where strong people abound, any underestimation of the enemy may bring fatal consequences.

After a moment of silence, the voice finally made up its mind and said in a low and firm voice: "Okay, let's try it!" There was an imperceptible determination and expectation in the tone.

The beautiful woman smiled coldly upon hearing this, and she said slowly: "Okay, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I have left a special scent powder on that person. This scent is unique and long-lasting. You only need to follow the scent closely and you can easily track him down.

Remember, act quickly and don't alert the enemy..." Her voice revealed an unquestionable authority and calmness, as if everything was under control.

However, at this critical moment, the beautiful woman's words stopped abruptly, her eyes suddenly widened, and what was reflected in her pupils was no longer calmness and confidence, but deep fear and despair.

It turned out that her throat had quietly split open at some point, and a thin line of blood quickly spread out. Then, blood gushed out like a long-suppressed volcano, splashing in the surrounding air, forming shocking blood flowers.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone present was stunned, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and fear.

At this moment, a man in black appeared in front of the beautiful woman silently like a ghost. He was wearing a black cloak, his face was hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

The beautiful woman looked at the sudden uninvited guest in front of her, her eyes full of unwillingness and despair. She used up her last bit of strength and tremblingly uttered a weak cry for help: "Help... Save me..." The voice was weak and powerless, as if it would dissipate into the air at any time.

The man in black looked at the beautiful woman coldly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the deepest secrets and fears in people's hearts.

He shook his head gently, his tone without any sympathy or mercy: "Your soul has been wandering between reality and illusion. It is hopeless to save you." These words were like a death sentence for the beautiful woman. The light in her eyes was completely extinguished. She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, and the fire of life was completely extinguished at this moment.

Just like that, the beautiful woman's body slowly fell down, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. Her wide-open eyes, until the last moment, were filled with unspeakable despair and unwillingness.

In her eyes, there was not only a lingering desire for the passing of life, but also a deep fear and confusion about the unknown death - she had never expected that her life would be taken away silently in this way.

Her heart was filled with questions and resentment: "Who is it? Who is so cruel that he doesn't even give me a chance to struggle?" These thoughts circled in her mind, but eventually faded away with the passing of life.

At the last moment of her life, her memory seemed to be pulled by some force, and she involuntarily returned to the transaction scene with the young man. The young man's calmness, decisiveness, and elusive strength were extremely clear in her mind at this moment.
