Chapter 13197 is irrelevant
In Luanmo Castle, a magnificent and luxurious manor, sunlight shines through the intricately carved window lattices, sprinkling on the smooth marble floor, adding a touch of warmth to this solemn building.

An old man in a green robe, a slightly hunched old man with an extraordinary temperament, has quietly arrived here.

His green robe was embroidered with intricate patterns, and every stitch and thread revealed the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship. He arrived through a hidden teleportation array in the manor, and thus entered this territory one step earlier than another important figure, Ling Xiao.

The old man sits leisurely beside an exquisitely carved mahogany round table, holding a cup of steaming fragrant tea in his hand. The tea fragrance rises up and interweaves with the agarwood in the room, creating a tranquil and profound atmosphere.

He seemed to be savoring the tea carefully, but his eyes, which had experienced countless hardships, looked a little empty, as if they had crossed the boundaries of time and space. His thoughts had already flown to a corner thousands of miles away, immersed in deep thought.

At this quiet and slightly mysterious moment, the old man's eyes suddenly regained their spirit, like the brightest stars in the night sky, instantly focusing on a door not far away.

"Come in." His voice was low and magnetic, with unquestionable majesty, as if it could penetrate all obstacles and reach people's hearts.

Following this command, the door opened gently, and a woman wearing an exquisite mask walked in quickly. Her mask was mainly black, and it was inlaid with several gems that shimmered with dim light, adding a bit of mystery to her.

The woman was wearing a set of light leather armor, which cleverly incorporated elements of the martial arts world. It not only showed off her agile posture, but also remained practical. She moved quickly and nimbly, like an elf jumping in the woods.

"Master, I just received the news," the woman bowed her head respectfully, her voice clear and pleasant, but with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

"Duanmu Xi, the warrior who once vowed to avenge his family, has gone to see Ling Xiao. According to reliable information, he seems to have wavered and wants to give up his years of revenge. He chooses to reconcile with Ling Xiao and seems to have no intention of helping us."

The woman's report was clear and concise, and every word revealed her loyalty to her master and her keen insight into the situation.

The green-robed old man frowned slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his deep eyes. Then he shook his head gently and spoke slowly, with a subtle sigh in his voice:

"I really didn't expect that Duanmu Xi, at such a young age, could have such extraordinary courage and deep thoughts. For the future of the family, he was able to temporarily put aside his father's deep hatred. This kind of patience and determination is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It seems that this kid's future achievements will be limitless."

The woman standing beside him had a cold expression on her face and a cold light flashing in her eyes. She snorted when she heard the words, her voice as cold as ice:

"Master, since the Duanmu family is so ungrateful and unwilling to lend us a helping hand, why should we spare their lives? Let us teach them a profound lesson and let them also taste the consequences of offending us."

The green-robed old man shook his head again, looking quite helpless: "Alas, you girl, you are always so impulsive. The sect behind Duanmu Xi is not someone you can easily mess with. Although I have some status in the martial arts world and am not afraid of them, there is no need to make such a strong enemy for no reason.

Now, the Duanmu family has lost its value to us, and it doesn't make much difference to us whether we destroy them or not. Besides, when I proposed the cooperation, I didn't force them, everything was voluntary.

Now that they no longer want to be with us, that is their choice, why should we force them to do so? "

As he spoke, the old man in green robe sighed softly, as if he was regretting the failed cooperation.

However, there was no anger in his eyes, but a kind of detached indifference. In the martial arts world, where the strong are respected, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of intrigues. Although he felt sorry for the choice of the Duanmu family, he was not surprised.

After all, in this world full of competition and killing, everyone's choices are based on their own interests and considerations.

“What’s more… Right now, the Demon Suppression Palace’s Lord Long Yingtian is like a cunning cheetah, always keeping a close eye on us, looking for possible flaws.

He has been secretly investigating our movements. In this situation, we'd better avoid causing trouble so as not to give him any evidence against us.

That Long Yingtian is really a guy who hides his true strength. If he had not displayed his amazing strength last time when he fought against the Holy Lord of the East China Sea Holy Hall, I would not have known that he has become so powerful that it is feared by everyone.

His cunning and clever tactics really make us have to be on guard." The words of the green-robed old man revealed a bit of solemnity, and it was obvious that he was extremely wary of Long Yingtian.

Upon hearing this, the woman frowned, with doubt and uneasiness flashing in her eyes. She asked in a low voice: "Master, why is Long Yingtian so concerned about Ling Xiao? Moreover, this is not the first time. I still don't understand his true intentions. Do you want us to investigate further?"

Hearing this, the green-robed old man shook his head slightly, his expression revealing a bit of helplessness and caution: "No need! He is the Lord of the Demon Suppression Palace, with a respected status and overwhelming power. He may have his own considerations for Ling Xiao's affairs, but he will never take action directly.

If we rashly provoke him, it will only give him an excuse to deal with us, and then we will be in big trouble.

In the martial arts world, where the strong are respected, strength and status determine everything. Since Long Yingtian can become the master of the Demon Suppression House, he must have his own strengths. We should be careful and not give him any handles easily. "

At this point, the green-robed old man sighed, as if he was worried about the current situation. He knew very well that in the turbulent world of martial arts, if one was not careful, one might be doomed.

Therefore, he always acted cautiously, never making enemies easily, and would not provoke those powerful beings. As for Long Yingtian, he maintained a high degree of vigilance and alertness, fearing that he would fall into the other party's trap accidentally.

"Yes, master!" The woman's body trembled slightly, then she bowed respectfully, with an unquestionable firmness in her voice.

The old man in green robe stroked his sleeves gently, his eyes deep, as if he could see through all the secrets of the world. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Have you found out who killed the head of the Duanmu family?"
