Chapter 13496: Treasures Make People Crazy
Star-catching tower!
These three words seemed to contain endless mysteries and taboos, making people shudder at the mere mention of them. It was not only a holy place for cultivation that countless powerful people dreamed of, but also a forbidden place that even a behemoth like the Holy Hall dared not easily set foot in.

Once Ling Xiao steps into the gate of Zhaixing Tower, even a behemoth like the Holy Temple will have to weigh its own weight and dare not act rashly.

Because of this, those who covet Ling Xiao's treasures or want his life must take action before Ling Xiao enters the Zhaixing Tower.

Because this might be their only chance to succeed. Once they miss it, Ling Xiao will be sheltered in the Zhaixing Tower, and they will have no chance to take advantage of him.

The black shadow paced lightly on the spot, frowning, and sighed helplessly again: "What a headache!"

Recalling the scene where Ling Xiao killed the temple priest cleanly and neatly by himself, Hei Ying's heart could not help but surge with emotion. At that moment, he did hesitate.

He hesitated whether to continue targeting Ling Xiao, and whether to bet all his chips on this young and powerful man with unlimited potential.

After all, the strength and potential that Ling Xiao had shown had far exceeded his expectations. Even he had to be wary of such an opponent.

Because Ling Xiao was so monstrous, as if he was a peerless genius who had traveled from another world. Every move he made was jaw-dropping. His growth rate was beyond everyone's imagination.

Moreover, Ling Xiao's current strength is already faintly powerful enough to go against the will of heaven. He can change the situation with just a wave of his hand. What's even more shocking is that there is a mysterious strong man standing behind him. The strength of that strong man is unfathomable, as if he is an old monster from ancient times. No one dares to underestimate him at all.

Such a combination would undoubtedly make those who had ill intentions towards Ling Xiao feel terrified. If they were not careful, not only would they not get the treasure, but they would also bring disaster upon themselves and bring about their own death.

However, it would be hard for those greedy masters to give up so easily. After all, the treasure in Ling Xiao's hand was said to be a divine weapon that could rewrite the situation of Bai Ze Continent, and it had an irresistible temptation.

That treasure might be the key to dominate the Bai Ze Continent. Back then, the Demon Lord relied on the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword to kill heroes all over the world and almost unify the entire continent. How could such a brilliant record not make the later strong men yearn for it?

What's more, it is rumored that if one can completely control the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword, not only can one break through the bottleneck of one's own cultivation, but one can also glimpse the secret of eternal life, and may even be able to step into the legendary next continent, completely break free from the constraints of the laws of the Bai Ze continent, and gain true freedom.

All those strong men at the old monster level have endless desire for power burning in their hearts. Faced with such temptation, no one can easily refuse.

This is not only because of the powerful power contained in the treasure itself, but also because this may be the last hope in their long lives, an opportunity for them to break through their current realm and move to a higher level.

There is a determined light in their eyes, which is a desire for the unknown and a pursuit of strength. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns and dangers, they are willing to give it a try.

Because, for these powerful people who have already stood at the top of the world, stagnation is tantamount to death.

After a moment, the black shadow spoke again, with a hint of determination and helplessness in his voice: "You have to try your best! In life, if you can't fight for your dreams and pursuits once, then what's the difference between you and salted fish?"

After saying this, his figure seemed to merge into the void and disappeared, leaving only a faint aftereffect echoing in the air.

In his heart, although he felt deep fear of Ling Xiao's strength and the mysterious strong man behind him, the temptation of the treasure was too great for him to resist.

Moreover, he was not fighting alone, there were many people who also coveted Ling Xiao's treasures and were secretly eyeing them. With these people as outposts, he could fish in troubled waters in the chaos and look for opportunities.

This thought slightly alleviated the fear and hesitation in his heart. He knew very well that this was a risky gamble, but as long as he succeeded, he would have the potential to gain unprecedented power and have his name forever engraved in the history of this continent.

……

One day later, in the vast void, the airship that Ling Xiao was riding was like a solitary boat, slowly shuttling through the boundless sky.

He stood at the bow, his eyes piercing through the layers of clouds and mist, staring at the mysterious sky in the distance, muttering to himself: "In half a day, we will be able to enter the range of the Star Picking Tower."

Zhaixing Tower, this legendary holy place, is as vast as the area of ​​five prefectures and is independent of the jurisdiction of the holy temple.

For Ling Xiao, once he steps into this mysterious realm, he will be able to temporarily obtain a relatively safe haven. In this land, even those powerful people who are eyeing him covetously do not dare to set foot in it easily, let alone attack him easily.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but curl up a faint smile, as if he had seen himself practicing peacefully in the Zhaixing Tower and steadily improving his strength. However, this tranquility did not last long, his face suddenly changed, and a trace of alertness flashed in his eyes.

He immediately ordered the airship to stop, and the entire ship hovered steadily in the air, like a floating island.

Ling Xiao's perception was so sharp that he could clearly feel the hint of danger in the air around him. It was a depressing and heavy premonition, as if countless eyes were spying on them in the dark.

Although Ling Xiao had already expected that before he stepped into the Zhaixing Tower, there would definitely be someone who could not hold back and wanted to attack him.

But the situation before him was obviously beyond his expectations. He had not expected that there would be so many people coming, and each of them was hiding so secretly, as if they were a group of hungry wolves lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Ling Xiao frowned, his eyes were like torches, and he scanned the surroundings. He felt an inexplicable irritation and uneasiness in his heart, but he knew that at this moment, he had to remain calm in order to deal with the impending crisis.

"Demon Lord, why did you suddenly stop?" Inside the magic needle space, Lie Yong, Wen Zu, Lie Zu and other powerful demon soul beasts all looked confused. They all looked at Ling Xiao, trying to get answers from him.

Ling Xiao's expression was solemn. He sighed softly and said slowly: "We are in trouble. I am afraid we will have to rely on the help of the three seniors later."
