Chapter 13296 Should I kneel down to the enemy?

However, this time the situation is different.

A Ke's existence was like a beacon, illuminating his way forward. Her ability to transform into a virtual reality made him see the possibility of success. Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with determination, and he firmly believed that as long as he continued to explore in this direction, he would be able to find his own path.

So he started to take action.

But in order to ensure that everything would go smoothly, he did not choose to take the risk with his own body, but instead used the secret technique of the outer body.

The body outside the body is a magical power that he has cultivated for many years. It can condense an avatar that is exactly the same as his original body, with the same strength and perception as him. He lets this avatar explore and try to avoid possible risks.

His main body continued to immerse himself in the practice of the Lightning Secret Technique. The Lightning Secret Technique was a martial art that he had focused on practicing in recent years. It was extremely powerful and could release devastating lightning attacks.

He knew very well that in the upcoming battle, this martial art would become an important weapon for him to defeat the enemy. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off and devoted himself to practicing with full concentration.

The Thunder Leopard move from the Secret Art of Thunder and Lightning did bring Ling Xiao considerable benefits in the battle.

Whenever he used this move, Lei Bao would appear beside the enemy like a shadow and launch an attack with lightning speed, with its speed and power being breathtaking.

With such a powerful helper, Ling Xiao's chances of winning the battle will undoubtedly be greatly improved, which makes him more confident and expectant about the secret method of thunder and lightning.

Since the Thunder Leopard was so useful, Ling Xiao couldn't help but have an idea in his mind: Why not learn other moves in the Thunder Secret Technique? In this way, his means in battle would undoubtedly be more diverse, and his ability to deal with the enemy would be greatly enhanced.

Recalling his own training process of Thunder Leopard, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel relieved. From the initial unfamiliarity to the current proficiency, he had put in a lot of effort and sweat.

Although he couldn't say that he had mastered the Thunder Leopard to perfection, he was at least able to use it with ease. With this foundation, he began to wonder whether he could try to practice the next move in the Thunder Secret Technique - Thunder Tiger.

Thunder Tiger, it sounds like it's more ferocious and powerful than Thunder Leopard. Ling Xiao imagined the scene of Thunder Tiger roaring and galloping on the battlefield, and his blood boiled in his heart.

He knew very well that practicing Thunder Tiger would definitely not be any less difficult than practicing Thunder Leopard, but as long as he was willing to work hard, he believed he would be able to master this move.

Therefore, he secretly made up his mind to work harder to practice the secret art of thunder and lightning in the days to come, so as to incorporate the Thunder Tiger into his combat system as soon as possible.

……

While Ling Xiao was fully devoted to his crazy training, the Chaos Demon City had already gathered with a murderous atmosphere. At this time, Chaos Demon City seemed to have become a huge whirlpool, sucking in all the masters in the Demon Suppression Mansion.

It can almost be asserted that, except for the Holy Temple which clearly stated that it did not want to be involved in this dispute, all the top powerful people who should come to the Demon Suppression Palace have gathered together.

Palace Lord Long Yingtian, who was usually dignified and unfathomable, was now sitting on the main seat, his eyes like torches, scanning everyone present.

The Lord of Luanmo City, Cheng Shifei, a burly and imposing man, was standing next to Long Yingtian with a serious expression.

The arrival of the Imperial Palace Master, Di Huangzhu, a woman dressed in gorgeous palace clothes and with noble temperament, undoubtedly added a bit of solemnity and majesty to the party. And the Empress Qianfeng of the Female Emperor's Palace, a woman known for her wisdom and beauty, became the focus of everyone's attention.

Among these masters, there were both familiar faces that Ling Xiao had seen before and new faces that he had never met before. It could be said that, apart from the Holy Hall, all the top masters in the Demon Suppression Palace had gathered here to discuss how to deal with the current crisis.

At one side, Empress Qian Feng glanced at Long Yingtian lightly, her eyes showing both awe and worry.

Then, she spoke slowly, her voice clear and firm:
"Your Majesty, as everyone knows, Soul Suppression Mansion and most forces originally had no deep hatred, and it can even be said that they kept to themselves. However, now because of Ling Xiao, those forces have joined forces with the Soul Clan to fight against our Demon Suppression Mansion. I believe that Your Majesty knows the interests involved better than I do."

Having said that, Empress Qian Feng paused slightly, as if waiting for Long Yingtian's response.

Long Yingtian was in deep thought, his eyes swept over everyone, as if he was measuring everyone's thoughts and positions. The atmosphere of the entire venue became more tense and solemn because of what Empress Qian Feng said.

Everyone focused their eyes on Long Yingtian at the same time. Every subtle expression of his seemed to carry the fate of the entire Demon-Suppressing Mansion.

Long Yingtian had a blank expression on his face, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, yet seemed to hide all emotions.

He opened his mouth slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "What do you mean?" Although this sentence was short, it revealed his importance to Qian Feng's proposal and the considerations he was making in his heart.

Qian Feng's voice was cold and firm. She continued:
“Either the Palace Master personally takes action to obtain the legendary treasure and use it to fight against the increasingly powerful Soul Clan; or, we hand over Ling Xiao so that those powerful forces in the Soul-Suppressing Palace that originally had no direct conflict with us can find a way out and give up joining forces with the Soul Clan, thus avoiding an unnecessary civil war.”

Every word she said was powerful, which was not only advice to Long Yingtian, but also a reminder to everyone present.

Hearing this, the entire venue suddenly fell into silence, and even the sound of breathing seemed to become faint. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Long Yingtian, waiting for his decision. This decision not only concerns Ling Xiao's life and death, but also the future direction of the Demon Suppression Mansion.

The empress of the empress palace, the woman with noble temperament and calm expression, was lowering her eyes slightly at this moment, and it was unknown what she was thinking about. Her face was as calm as water, but her deep eyes flashed with a complex light, as if she was weighing various pros and cons.

The other people in the field had different expressions, some were solemn, some were anxious, and some were expectant. They all knew that Long Yingtian's decision would affect everyone's fate. At this critical moment, everyone held their breath, afraid to miss any details.

After a moment, Long Yingtian turned around abruptly, looked at Qian Feng with a sharp gaze, and spoke with an unquestionable coldness in his tone:
"You mean to ask our Demon Suppression House to bow down to those bastards from the Soul Suppression House? To hand over our most outstanding demon, Ling Xiao, who carries the hope for the future of the Demon Suppression House, to them? In exchange for their mercy and kindness?"
