Chapter 13578: Cannot be pursued

Ling Xiao knew in his heart that in his current state, if he put all his strength into it, he might have a good chance of killing the powerful man in the Demon Tower in front of him.

However, he also knew that beside this powerful man in the Demon Tower, there was an even more powerful being who had not yet made a move.

Once that guy joins the battle and forms a pincer attack with the man in front of him, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely die. It is wise to escape from this place first.

"Chase!" The strong man from the Demon Tower looked at Ling Xiao who was quickly disappearing in the distance. He felt that he had been severely fooled. His gloomy face was like the sky before a storm, filled with depression and anger.

He originally received an order from the host to secretly look for an opportunity to kill Ling Xiao and try not to reveal his identity.

But at this moment, he was so angry that he felt as if his every move had been seen through by Ling Xiao. If he let Ling Xiao leave alive, not only would he lose face, but his mission would also fail completely.

So, without thinking, he shouted and prepared to take big steps to catch up.

But just when he was about to take action, another strong man who had been silent beside him suddenly took action. His big hand was like a huge steel gate, stopping him accurately.

"Sword Demon, don't be silly. Have you forgotten the orders from your landlord?" A deep but powerful voice sounded in the Sword Demon's ears, like a heavy hammer hitting his chaotic mind.

This shout was like a basin of cold water in the cold winter, which instantly woke up the Sword Demon.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with reluctance and anger, but seeing that many warriors around him had already noticed Ling Xiao's presence, the crowd began to move.

He knew that if he continued the pursuit, his identity would be exposed. Not only would his mission fail, but it would also most likely bring greater trouble to himself and the Demon Tower.

Although he was extremely reluctant, the Sword Demon finally suppressed his anger, gave up the idea of chasing, and watched Ling Xiao disappear in the distance.

In the dim space, blood-red mist lingered, like an invisible net, oppressive and suffocating.

The Sword Demon had a look of grief and anger on his face, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He rushed forward and shouted at the strong man named Chen Mo beside him at the top of his lungs:
"Chen Mo, why didn't you take action just now? When that Tongtian Realm kid showed up, you should have fought alongside me! If we joined forces, dealing with him would be as easy as crushing an ant, but you just stood by and watched. What's going on?"

The Sword Demon's voice echoed in the space, and every word was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Chen Mo's expression was extremely calm. He moved his feet slightly, and his robe fluttered gently. Then he cast his eyes indifferently towards the Sword Demon. There was a hint of disdain and indifference in his eyes.

He slowly opened his mouth and said in a low but clear voice: "I didn't expect you to be so weak. You couldn't do anything to a little guy in the Tongtian realm. Look at your performance just now. Not only was you forced to retreat step by step by him, but you almost let him escape. I really don't know where your cultivation has gone all these years."

Chen Mo's words were like sharp thorns, piercing straight into the Sword Demon's heart.

"You!" Dao Mo was so angry at Chen Mo's words that he was shaking all over. He clenched his fists tightly, his joints turned white due to the force, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, surging.

"Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You just want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. When that kid and I are both defeated, you can reap the benefits, right? You are a bunch of insidious and cunning guys!" The Sword Demon gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be filled with venom.

"Whatever you say." A faint smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips, and that smile was full of sarcasm and indifference.

He no longer paid attention to the Sword Demon, turned slightly, flicked his sleeves, and left in a chic manner, leaving the Sword Demon alone, with anger and frustration drowning him like a tide.

"Damn it!" Dao Mo gritted his teeth fiercely, his teeth chattering. He suppressed the anger in his heart, quickly looked around, and then shouted to the men behind him: "Pass the order down, continue to keep a close eye on Ling Xiao, don't take action for the time being, and wait obediently for the new order from the host!"

The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, full of unwillingness. After saying that, the figure of the sword demon flashed and disappeared instantly, leaving only the blood-red mist still slowly floating.

On the other side, Ling Xiao made a lot of noise when he escaped. The powerful energy fluctuations generated by his fierce fight with the strong man in the Demon Tower broke through the layers of void and made a deafening sound.

The sound was like a landslide, and could be clearly heard within a radius of thousands of miles. Therefore, many powerful people hiding in the dark, after sensing the energy fluctuations and movement, rushed over like sharks smelling blood.

There was a greedy gleam in their eyes, as if Ling Xiao was an extremely tempting piece of fat meat, and whoever could get him would get endless benefits.

The place where Ling Xiao had fought with the Demon Tower warriors before was filled with a thick smell of ruins. Broken rocks and soil piled up like mountains, and the air still lingered with the pungent smell of gunpowder and traces of powerful energy fluctuations left over from the battle.

Suddenly, a spooky and strange voice sounded like a ghost: "Someone has already taken action, and they are trying their best to find Ling Xiao. With his ability, he should have escaped from Zhaixing Tower City. Everyone, take action now, don't let others succeed first! Whoever finds Ling Xiao will be rewarded handsomely by the tower owner!"

The sound seemed to come from the Netherworld, cold and full of oppression.

After he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, just like the waves generated when a huge stone was thrown into a calm lake.

The ripples continued to spread, as if a mysterious and powerful force was surging in the space. After a while, several black shadows shuttled through the ruins like ghosts and disappeared into the night.

However, no one noticed that Ling Xiao had not actually left. He opened his Mist-Hidden Cloak and quietly returned to Zhaixing Tower City, like a ghost, without leaving a trace.

He even entered the magic building again with his amazing courage and superb hiding skills.

There was a cold light flashing in Ling Xiao's eyes, and anger was burning in his heart.

The shameless people in the Demon Tower were clearly a group of hypocritical hypocrites. They had said before that they would let him go, but in the blink of an eye they were the first to send people to hunt him down. This made Ling Xiao's hatred for the Demon Tower reach its peak.
