Chapter 13558 It turns out to be an old friend
Just halfway through the journey, they met a man. That man's appearance was like a sudden black shadow, breaking the tranquility around them.

He was dressed in a tight black suit, like a ghost in the night, with an old ginseng dangling from the corner of his mouth. The ginseng had long and thin whiskers and was golden in color, obviously very old.

He stood there with a smile on his face, his hands behind his back, his posture upright, heroic, and with an extraordinary temperament. However, the evil spirit surrounding him was too strong, oppressing the surrounding air like a substance, making people feel palpitations involuntarily.

"Oh, so many people are here to give me gifts?" The man in black spoke in a deep and magnetic voice. It was undoubtedly Ling Xiao. His eyes were full of amusement and teasing, as if he had seen through everything.

He expected that after the disciple of the Righteousness Hall suffered a loss, he would definitely return to the Righteousness Hall to stir up trouble and try to use the power of his master to deal with him. So, he deliberately chose to wait on this necessary road, intending to wait and see.

When the man saw Ling Xiao, his face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of fear and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that Ling Xiao was terrifying, vicious, and unpredictable.

He absolutely did not want to be the first one to stick his head out. If he was caught by Ling Xiao again, with Ling Xiao's temper and methods, he might not even know how he died, let alone any "gift" to give.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly hid in the crowd, trying to use the crowd's cover to escape Ling Xiao's sight. He lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, fearing that he would be spotted by Ling Xiao if he was not careful.

"What gift are you sending? We are going to kill you!" Suddenly, an angry shout broke the silence at the scene, as fierce as a storm.

A disciple from the Zhengqi Hall stepped out from the dense crowd, his eyes burning with rage as he stared directly at Ling Xiao, as if he wanted to burn him to ashes. His voice echoed in the empty field, carrying a majesty and provocation that could not be ignored.

Ling Xiao smiled gently, that smile contained both amusement and disdain. He spoke slowly, his voice calm and confident: "Do you want a group fight or a one-on-one duel?" His tone was relaxed, as if he was facing nothing more than an insignificant game.

The disciple of the Righteousness Hall became even angrier upon hearing this. He almost roared in response: "Do we need a group fight to beat you up? You..."

However, before he finished speaking, his body suddenly lightened, and he was lifted up by an invisible force, his feet off the ground, suspended in mid-air. This scene happened too suddenly, and he didn't even see how Ling Xiao moved, let alone catch when Ling Xiao came to his side silently.

The man's voice stopped abruptly at this moment. His face was full of shock and fear, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

Everyone in the field instantly fell silent in this sudden change. All eyes were focused on Ling Xiao and the Zhengqitang disciple who was mentioned. A depressing and tense atmosphere filled the air.

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, his eyes swept across the crowd, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He sighed, his voice low and sincere: "I have already said that my fiancée and sister are in Zhengqitang, and my friends are also here. To be honest, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen with Zhengqitang."

"The last time, it was because you, the people from the Righteousness Hall, were so aggressive. I retreated again and again, hoping that you would stop, but you still refused to give up.

If you continue to be so aggressive, I will have no choice but to take my family and friends away by force, and then destroy this Zhengqi Hall." Ling Xiao's words were filled with unquestionable determination, and his eyes were as cold as ice, as if he was ready to crush all obstacles into dust at any time.

He recalled the past and felt mixed emotions. Originally, because he didn't know that the people of Tyrant Empire had come to this continent, he thought that if Ling Bi and others stayed in Zhengqi Hall, they would at least have a relatively safe environment to practice.

After all, Zhengqitang, as a large sect, has a profound foundation and abundant resources. But the situation is different now. In the Tyrant Empire, there is also an environment suitable for cultivation, and masters such as Liezu and Wenzu are in charge, who can provide valuable guidance.

Although the overall strength of the Tyrant Empire may not be as prominent as that of the Righteousness Hall, it is not too different. Especially with the guidance of a master, the speed and effectiveness of cultivation can often be twice the result with half the effort.

More importantly, there they can stay away from the disputes and conflicts of Zhengqitang and enjoy a rare peace and freedom.

"It's better not to keep this Zhengqi Hall." Ling Xiao's voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, full of determination and helplessness. He knew that it was not easy to make this decision, but in order to protect his family and friends, for their future and happiness, he had to do so.

Upon hearing this, everyone in Zhengqitang looked at each other, with astonishment and helplessness written all over their faces.

At this time, Ling Xiao stood in front of the crowd. His voice was clear and loud, like the first ray of sunshine in the summer morning, penetrating the haze in the hearts of everyone present:
"How about this? You hate me, but you won't get over it unless you fight me. I allow you to nominate one person to fight me. Regardless of whether we win or lose, our grudges will be written off. How do you think?"

There was an unquestionable firmness in his tone, as if he was ready to face any challenge.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, their eyes flashing with complex emotions. At this moment, the sky in the distance seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a steady and powerful voice penetrated the clouds and hit everyone's ears: "Today, I will fight you!"

As the voice fell, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor and instantly appeared in front of everyone.

He was dressed in a white suit, standing tall, like a white crane among pines, extraordinary and otherworldly. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on his body, coating him with a layer of light golden light, adding a bit of sacredness and majesty.

Seeing this man, all the disciples of Zhengqi Hall cheered, their voices filled with excitement and admiration: "Bai Yan!"

"It's Senior Brother Bai Yan!" someone shouted excitedly, with admiration shining in his eyes.

"Great, if Senior Brother Bai Yan takes action, Ling Xiao will definitely lose!" another person said confidently, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

……

Cheers rose and fell, surging like a tide. Bai Yan's appearance seemed to inject an invisible force into the people of Zhengqitang, making them full of expectations and confidence for the upcoming duel.

Ling Xiao stared at Bai Yan in front of him, with a faint smile on his face. In that smile, there was both the joy of meeting an old friend and a bit of indifference towards past grudges: "So it's an old friend. I didn't expect that after the destruction of the Holy Hall of the Soul-Calming Mansion, you would come here."
