Chapter 13540 4 Thieves

Chongtian sighed, "You killed Fang Yue and brought disgrace to Zhengqitang. They must be filled with resentment and will never let it go easily. These young people often act impulsively and without regard for the consequences. You need to be more cautious to prevent any accidents."

Ling Xiao's mouth inadvertently curled up into a cold smile, which contained unquestionable determination and dominance. "They'd better not act rashly, otherwise, I really can't guarantee that they can still live safely in this world."

His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying an unquestionable threat.

Chongtian looked at Lingxiao's stern face and shook his head helplessly, with a bit of blame and worry in his tone:
“You! Even if you don’t take those little bastards seriously, you still have to consider your friends and relatives. They are in Zhengqitang right now, you have to make them feel at ease. Your every move may affect their safety.”

Ling Xiao heard this and nodded gently, with a complex emotion flashing across his face. He was not someone who did not know the importance of things, and naturally understood that his actions might have an impact on the people around him. But he also had his own persistence and principles, and he could not let his path of cultivation be disturbed or hindered by anyone.

"Got it, Senior Brother." Ling Xiao's voice was calm and firm. He understood Chongtian's worries and painstaking efforts. He would not provoke the people of Zhengqi Hall for no reason, but if it was for cultivation and to improve his own strength, then there was nothing he could do.

He knows very well that in this world where the strong are respected, only by placing hope on himself and constantly becoming stronger can he solve all problems and protect his family and friends.

"Practice well!" Chongtian's voice echoed in the bamboo forest, with a brotherly concern. He raised his hand and patted Lingxiao's shoulder.

Ling Xiao could feel the warmth coming from Chongtian's palm, a warmth he had not felt for a long time. Under the moonlight, Chongtian's back gradually moved away, and the bronze bell hanging around his waist swayed in the wind, interweaving with the sound of bamboo leaves rubbing against each other. Ling Xiao knew that this senior brother really cared about him.

but……

The night wind suddenly picked up speed, and a dark demonic shadow appeared behind him, releasing a terrifying murderous intent that instantly filled the entire bamboo forest, as if highlighting his current situation and determination.

He might have to disobey.

Amid the rustling sound of bamboo leaves, Ling Xiao's eyes became sharp. If he wanted to improve his strength quickly, he had to kill people!
Kill those who want to kill him!
Kill those who want to take his treasure!
Under the moonlight, his shadow suddenly became very long, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Ling Xiao knew that the person who wanted to seize his treasure was lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike like a poisonous snake.

The night owl suddenly let out a shrill cry, and Ling Xiao's pupils glowed with a strange golden light in the dark. He had just entered the Tongtian realm and was not strong enough. If he could cultivate to the peak of the Tongtian realm...

Ling Xiao's eyes swept across the endless wilderness outside the Zhaixing Tower that was vaguely visible in the depths of the bamboo sea. There were countless people hiding there who wanted to kill him. At that time, even ordinary warriors at the sixth or seventh level of Baoyuan Realm should have the strength to fight.

If he used those trump cards, Ling Xiao knew that he could even fight against a high-level strong man in Baoyuan Realm, and maybe even kill him.

Moreover, he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation of the Demon God's Will and the Five Dragon Technique. Just sitting there and practicing would not make any progress, the only way was to fight!

Not long after Chongtian left, Lingxiao gently put on the magical mist-hiding cloak, as if he was wrapped in a layer of light mist, and his figure instantly became hazy and elusive.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination and coldness, and quietly left the Demon Tower, even stepping out of the mysterious and vast boundary of the Star Picking Tower. His target was those enemies who had not given up chasing him, those villains who were still greedily eyeing the treasure in his hands.

These people, like jackals, tigers and leopards, are always lurking in the dark, trying to snatch from him the treasure that is enough to drive the entire world crazy.

Most of them wandered around the Zhaixing Tower, or hid in the mountains and forests, or lurked in the market, using various means to try to find Lingxiao's trace.

However, they never expected that Ling Xiao had already seen through their intentions and decided to take the initiative to eliminate these potential threats one by one.

Ling Xiao shuttled through the dense woods, his footsteps light and silent, as if he had merged with nature. With his keen intuition and extraordinary skills, he easily avoided those traps and surveillance that seemed hidden but were actually full of loopholes.

His heart was filled with anger and resentment. These greedy enemies not only threatened his safety, but also made it impossible for him to practice and grow peacefully. Therefore, he was determined to teach them a profound lesson and let them understand that there were some people they could never afford to offend.

In this land full of dangers, Ling Xiao is like a cheetah ready to strike, quietly waiting for the best time to strike. However, those enemies who are trying to seize the treasure are completely unaware that they are walking step by step towards the abyss of death.

……

Outside the Zhaixing Tower, in a vast wilderness, four people were standing or standing on their own, exuding an aura that should not be underestimated. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their figures out, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

One was an old man with silver hair and a flowing white beard. He was wearing a loose black robe, the corners of which swayed gently in the wind, as if resonating with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Although his face was old, his eyes were like the deep night sky, shining with wisdom and insight.

A man sat upright on a huge rock, his whole body covered in shiny black armor, which was engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, shining with a cold luster in the sun. Although his face could not be seen clearly, judging from his slightly immature hair color, he seemed to be in his youth and full of vigor.

There was another person, a woman with long hair that fell gently to her waist like a waterfall. She was wearing a long skirt that swayed in the wind. The embroidery on the skirt was delicate and exquisite, like a work of art that was pleasing to the eye. Her face was pure and elegant, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed an extraordinary temperament that was unforgettable at first sight.

The last person was extremely short, only about three feet tall, with a bald head, dark and rough skin, distorted facial features, and was extremely ugly.

However, it is precisely this inconspicuous appearance that makes it impossible to ignore the powerful aura emanating from him, as if he is a ferocious beast lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Although these four people have different appearances, ages, and genders, they are all extremely powerful. Their casual chats seem casual, but in fact, every word contains deep meaning, which is hard to understand. (End of this chapter)
