Chapter 13478 Go out and see the world

However, Ling Xiao changed his words, and his tone was filled with determination and commitment. "But I promised the Demon Soul King, promised Ah Dai, and promised the Demon Soul Beast Ancestor. I, Ling Xiao, will never forget their entrustment easily. I don't want to break my promise, and I don't want to bear the stigma of breaking my oath."

There was a firm light in his eyes, as if expressing an unshakable belief.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's figure became tall and majestic in the eyes of the little girl. She seemed to understand something, and her eyes flashed with a complex look, with both admiration and confusion.

"Of course, if you are unwilling to accept my leadership, I can choose to give up." Ling Xiao's voice was calm and firm, and every word seemed to carry an irresistible force.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but you chose to refuse. I think that in this case, whether it is the Demon Soul King, Ah Dai or the Demon Soul Beast Ancestor, they will not blame me."

His words revealed an indescribable helplessness and determination, as if he was making a last-ditch effort, or as if he was paving the way for the upcoming results. He spoke the truth, without the slightest exaggeration or falsehood.

Although there are a large number of demon soul beasts, more than 30,000 in total, their strength is generally weak. In this world where the strong are respected, numbers are not everything, and strength is the key to victory or defeat.

Wen Zu, as the best among the demon soul beasts, could barely be considered the second most powerful being. However, his cultivation had only just entered the Bao Yuan realm.

In this realm, he might be able to dominate, but in the eyes of a strong man like Ling Xiao, he is nothing at all. Although Wen Zu is now stronger than many people in the Demon Suppression Mansion, he is just an ant-like existence in front of the future Ling Xiao.

"I'll give you an hour to think about it," Ling Xiao's voice echoed in the empty space, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

"I will leave here in an hour. If you want to go with me, I will personally arrange for you to leave safely. If you don't want to leave, please stay here and fend for yourself."

His words revealed a kind of determination and indifference, as if he was giving the demon soul beasts the final choice. Ling Xiao waved his hand lightly, signaling them to start thinking, and then his eyes turned to the two little guys beside Lie Yong - Liehuo and Liebing.

These two little guys are Ah Dai's juniors. Although they are young, there is a firm light in their eyes.

Ling Xiao looked at them, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He planned to fulfill his promise to Ah Dai and take good care of these two little guys. Moreover, from their eyes, Ling Xiao saw tenacity and perseverance. He knew that these two little guys were definitely promising talents and could not be left to waste here.

"Liehuo, Liebing, do you two plan to go with me or stay?" Ling Xiao's voice was gentle but firm, as if he was waiting for their answer, and as if he was giving them a chance to choose.

Liehuo and Liebing looked at each other, with the same determination and expectation flashing in their eyes.

They knew that following Ling Xiao might bring them more opportunities and challenges, but it would also allow them to grow faster. They didn't want to spend their lives here doing nothing, they wanted to become stronger and fight to protect this land and their loved ones.

"We two are willing to follow the Demon Lord." Liehuo and Liebing said in unison, their voices full of determination and expectation. Their eyes were shining with longing for the future and trust in Ling Xiao, as if they had already seen the day when they would fight side by side with Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao looked at them and nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction and relief in his eyes. He knew that the two little guys had made the right choice, and they had the potential and determination to become strong. And he, as their guide, would do his best to train them and make them truly strong.

"Okay, in one hour, no matter what others think, I will take you two away." Ling Xiao's lips curled up into a faint smile, which contained both affirmation for Liehuo and Liebing, as well as expectations for the unknown future.

There was an indescribable light in his eyes, as if telling them that following him would be a wonderful journey.

At this time, the girl clenched her fists, with a determined light in her eyes, and said loudly: "I want to go out with you, too! I also want to see the outside world." Her voice was full of desire for freedom, curiosity about the unknown, and trust and dependence on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao turned to look at her with a warm smile on his face. "What's your name?" His voice was gentle and kind, as if he was asking a long-lost friend.

"Wen Xiang." The girl answered softly, her eyes flickering with shyness and anticipation, as if she had already seen the scene of herself following Ling Xiao out of this closed place and embracing a new life.

"Okay, you have this idea, which is progress." Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, his tone full of encouragement and praise. "Some people never dare to open their eyes to see the world in their entire lives, but you have taken the first brave step."

Then he looked around, his eyes revealing a questioning tone. "Is there anyone else willing to leave?" His voice echoed in the empty venue, as if waiting for more responses.

However, no one said anything for the time being. The demon beasts either lowered their heads in deep thought or looked at each other with complicated lights flashing in their eyes. They all seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, considering whether to follow Ling Xiao and leave this familiar land.

Ling Xiao was not in a hurry. He sat there quietly, closed his eyes and began to practice. His breathing became long and deep, as if he resonated with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. While practicing, he waited for the hesitant demon soul beasts to make a decision.

During this process, Ling Xiao's body seemed to be enveloped by a layer of light, which was a protective aura formed by the surge of spiritual power in his body. His aura became more and more steady and powerful, as if he could burst out with amazing power at any time.

The surrounding demon beasts, under the influence of Ling Xiao's cultivation aura, gradually calmed down. They began to reflect on their choices, thinking about whether to seize this rare opportunity and follow Ling Xiao out of the closed area to meet new challenges and opportunities.

An hour later, a powerful aura suddenly surged in the distant sky. The aura swept over like a violent storm, bringing with it a heart-pounding sense of oppression. This aura was even more powerful than Wen Zu's aura, as if a long-hidden peerless master had finally appeared.

A moment later, a tall old man slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
