Chapter 13583 Disappeared

Time passed slowly in this tense and busy search. After a full day and night, the search work slowly stopped.

The magic soldiers in the magic building were all exhausted. Some collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath; some leaned against the wall, their eyes full of helplessness and disappointment. Because of this long day and night, Ling Xiao had already disappeared like a cunning fox.

The demon soldiers searched carefully everywhere for a whole day and night, and searched every place nearby, but still did not find any trace of Ling Xiao.

Chongxuan was furious when he saw the dejected demon soldiers returning. He roared angrily, "You are a bunch of trash. You can't even find one person. What's the use of you!" He secretly thought that Ling Xiao might have escaped from the area.

Chongxuan stood in the open space in front of the Magic Treasure Pavilion somewhat unwillingly, with a solemn expression. He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then released his powerful spiritual consciousness like a tide.

This divine consciousness was like an invisible and dense net, searching carefully around the Magic Treasure Pavilion. However, fate seemed to be playing a joke on him, and he still found nothing.

Zhongxuan was so angry that he clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into the flesh, leaving blood marks. His body was shaking slightly, and he stared at everything around him angrily, as if he wanted to vent his anger.

It’s a pity that he was so angry that he could only turn around and leave angrily.

In fact, Ling Xiao did not leave. He was like a cheetah lurking in the dark, still staying there quietly.

He skillfully concealed his presence and used the complex environment around him to hide himself perfectly. His eyes were calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

Sure enough, the drama of fate made everything even more thrilling. After several hours, the cunning Zhongxuan appeared again. He looked around cautiously, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

This time, he once again concentrated his mind and released his spiritual sense, like a keen hound, searching carefully nearby. That powerful spiritual sense cruised in the air, and seemed to see through everything wherever it went.

If Ling Xiao had just accidentally shown up, he would have been discovered by Zhongxuan's sharp sense. This old fox was really cunning. He had carefully considered every move he made, just to catch Ling Xiao in one fell swoop.

It was a pity that no matter how cunning he was, he was not as patient as Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao waited quietly in the dark corner, his heart was like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple.

What's more, Ling Xiao had seen many such old foxes in the bloody storms of the martial arts world before, so he naturally knew that he had to be extra cautious.

He held his breath tightly and hid there motionless, letting time pass by minute by minute. His patience was like a solid rock, not shaken by any external factors.

"Forget it." Chongxuan frowned slightly and looked at the empty place with a look of indifference on his face, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to Mozhi beside him.

After a pause, he continued, "It looks like this guy has really escaped. But he is very cunning, maybe he is hiding somewhere. Send people to search outside carefully, and don't miss any suspicious places."

After saying that, Chongxuan glanced at Mozhi who was following beside him, intentionally or unintentionally. There seemed to be a hint of obscure scrutiny in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth just right raised a barely perceptible sneer.

This sneer seemed to hide a deeper calculation, as if everything was under his control.

Mozhi lowered his head slightly and responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he quickly dispersed with his men and searched in different directions.

However, at this moment, Ling Xiao was quietly hiding not far away. His aura was restrained to the extreme, and the whole person was like a sleeping stone, and even the air flow around him did not seem to cause any ripples.

He looked calm as he watched every move of Chongxuan and the others, secretly planning his next move in his mind, and did not relax at all because of Chongxuan's departure.

Even though Chongxuan had left, this was probably just a trick of his, perhaps to lure him out. Therefore, Lingxiao still sat there as still as a mountain.

An hour passed quietly in this tense atmosphere, as if every second was testing people's patience. Chongxuan appeared again with a gloomy face.

There was a hint of anger and unwillingness in his eyes, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the blue veins on his forehead were slightly bulging. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that he had found nothing after an hour of searching.

He paced back and forth on the spot, muttering to himself, "Did I really guess wrong? This guy has really left? No, it can't be that simple!"

His heart was filled with doubts and annoyance. He was unwilling to let Ling Xiao escape so easily. He felt that his authority had been greatly challenged.

Helplessly, Chongxuan sighed heavily, and that sigh was full of his frustration. He knew that continuing to search aimlessly like this would not yield any results, so he could only leave again with a hint of reluctance.

Seeing that Chongxuan had completely left, Ling Xiao finally moved. The solemn atmosphere just now seemed to be broken the moment he stood up. His body floated gently like a gust of wind, without making any unnecessary sound.

However, he did not escape from here as Chongxuan believed, but ran towards the Magic Book Pavilion in the Magic Tower with a clear goal.

The Magic Book Pavilion has five floors, tall and majestic, like a mysterious giant beast lying quietly in the magic building. There is a layer of faint magic around the magic building, as if telling its mystery and danger.

Each floor of the Demonic Book Pavilion exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if hiding countless secrets and powerful forces. The most precious martial arts skills stored in it are all recorded in the wisdom and hard work of the masters of the Demonic Book Pavilion. Each book is priceless.

Although Ling Xiao himself was not interested in these magic skills, he had his own way of cultivation, but he knew in his heart that taking these unique skills away from the Magic Tower would undoubtedly cause the Magic Tower to suffer huge losses and would make the Magic Tower's top leaders extremely angry and troubled.

This is also an important purpose of his action this time. He wants to teach Mo Lou a severe lesson and let them know that there will be a price to pay for invading the Tyrant Empire.

Moreover, these unique skills are also of great value to the Tyrant Empire. They can enrich the Tyrant Empire's arsenal, allowing the empire's warriors to have more training resources and references, thereby improving the martial arts level and strength of the entire empire.
