Chapter 13182 Do you want treasures too?
However, at this moment, Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He keenly sensed that an invisible pressure was coming from all directions, as if he had been surrounded by an invisible force. He was secretly alert in his heart, this breath was definitely not friendly.

As expected, some people couldn't wait any longer. They might have been waiting here for a long time, waiting for Ling Xiao and Long Chen to step into the Duanmu family's doorstep before they could take action. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was about to rage on this land.

Ling Xiao and Long Chen looked at each other. There was no need for words, as they already understood each other's thoughts.

Ling Xiao raised a faint smile, which was both confident and playful:
"The Ji family and the Jiang family in the East Sea have been destroyed by my own hands, and the Yellow Springs Bulao Mountain has also been almost completely destroyed by me. If your Duanmu family really wants to compete with me, I am afraid that you are not even as strong as the Ji family. Are you really sure that you want to be my enemy? Aren't you afraid that in a fit of rage, I will raze your branch family in Xihuang City to the ground and make your Duanmu family be expelled from the West Wasteland forever?"

His voice was not loud, but it carried an indescribable majesty and dominance, as if every word contained a tremendous force, which made people involuntarily feel awe.

"Hahahaha, how arrogant!" A hearty laugh suddenly rang out, breaking the silence around.

An old man in gorgeous clothes, holding a red cane with intricate totems carved on it, slowly walked out of the gate of the Duanmu family. He walked steadily and had sharp eyes. He was the head of the branch of the Duanmu family in Xihuang City - Duanmu Li.

Duanmu Li had a look of disdain and sneer on his face. He held a cane in his hand and stared at Ling Xiao with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through him:

"Little brother, although our Duanmu family does not want to be your enemy, we will not give up any treasure easily. As long as you are willing to leave the treasure that can cause such a big wave, we will naturally retreat immediately and no longer entangle with you."

His tone revealed an unquestionable determination, as if if Ling Xiao did not obey, they would take action immediately and take the treasure back at all costs.

However, in this determination, there was also a hint of fear and vigilance towards Ling Xiao's strength. After all, someone who could destroy the Ji family and the Jiang family, and almost destroy the existence of Huangquan Bulao Mountain, was definitely not an ordinary person.

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth slightly lifted up, outlining a meaningful smile. His eyes were like torches, staring directly at Duan Muli in front of him, and his voice was calm and firm: "What if I insist on not staying?"

Duanmu Li shook his head gently, with a look of helplessness and regret, as if he felt that Ling Xiao's choice was not worth it:
"Ling Xiao, we have indeed observed you carefully over the past few days. You are not a reckless person. You should know that if you keep the treasure in your hands, it will only bring you endless disasters. You are a smart person. You should know how to weigh the pros and cons and make the wisest choice."

Ling Xiao's laughter echoed in the air, his eyes flashing with teasing and confidence: "If I hand over that treasure, will your Duanmu family really show mercy and let me live? This doesn't sound like the style of your martial arts family."

Duanmu Li's eyes became deep, and he spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible awe in his tone:

"We, the Duanmu family, only want that treasure. We have no ill will towards you personally. If you are willing to hand it over, I can solemnly assure you that we will never attack you. After all, the power behind you is also an existence that we have to be wary of. Although our Duanmu family is powerful, we don't want to make enemies for no reason."

Having said that, Duanmu Li's gaze swept intentionally or unintentionally over Long Chen beside Ling Xiao, as well as the mysterious forces behind them that had not appeared but were obviously protecting them in secret.

His words showed both fear of the power behind Ling Xiao and desire for the treasure that was about to be obtained. The two emotions intertwined, making his tone extremely complicated.

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, with a mocking smile on his lips: "You, the Duanmu family, will not let me go easily, right?" His voice was not loud, but it carried a firmness and confidence that could not be ignored.

Duanmu Li still had a faint smile on his face when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Ling Xiao's words: "Oh? Why do you have such an idea?" There was a bit of curiosity and exploration in his tone.

Ling Xiao's eyes were like torches, staring directly at Duan Mu Li, as if he wanted to see through his heart: "Because you will be afraid, afraid that I, Ling Xiao, will grow up one day and become a powerful enemy that you cannot ignore, and then seek revenge on you. So, once you get that treasure, you will definitely choose to cut the grass and root it out to prevent future troubles, right?"

Duanmu Li's expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing Ling Xiao's words.

Ling Xiao continued his speech, with a bit of sincerity and admonition in his voice:
"In fact, you, the Duanmu family, should know that my Ling Xiao's backers are not ordinary people. Is it really worth your life for a mere treasure? Why don't you sit down, drink tea, and chat, maybe you can find a better solution?"

At this point, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a cunning look: "I think your best choice is for your Duanmu family to let me go and let me go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cemetery. In that case, I will naturally remember this favor, and when I become stronger, I will not cause trouble for the Duanmu family. How about it?"

Duanmu Li fell silent again, his eyes became complicated and deep, as if he was thinking about every possibility Ling Xiao raised. Ling Xiao quietly waited for his answer.

Duanmu Li was silent for a moment, and countless thoughts seemed to surge in his deep eyes.

Finally, he slowly spoke, his voice filled with unquestionable determination: "Ling Xiao, your idea is too naive! I will ask you one last question, will you hand over the treasure?"

At this point, he paused slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of irresistible majesty: "Perhaps, you should see the true strength of our Duanmu family. Maybe in this way, you will reconsider your choice and make a wise decision!"

As he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, and the air seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere as if a storm was about to come.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene took place - behind Duanmu Li, twelve warriors with powerful auras and agile bodies suddenly appeared, as if out of thin air.
