Chapter 13636 Are you really willing to leave?

Luo Jia's gaze was like a sharp blade, shooting straight at Ling Xiao who was walking towards him, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

If Ling Xiao had not used sweet words to persuade them to deal with Zhengqitang, how could they have acted rashly and got involved in that terrible dispute, and ended up with heavy losses. Thinking of the dead companions and the tragic situation of the sect's vitality being severely damaged, the hatred in Luojia's heart surged like a raging tide.

Ling Xiao looked relaxed, as if he had not noticed Luo Jia's hateful gaze. He just glanced at Luo Jia calmly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly:

"Why are you blaming me? I just informed you of the news. I'm sure you have weighed the pros and cons in your mind. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. Have I ever forced you? After all, you make the decision yourself. Why are you blaming me now?"

Ling Xiao's voice was steady yet carried a hint of unquestionable meaning, and every word was clearly heard by everyone.

Luo Jia was suddenly speechless after hearing Ling Xiao's words. His lips trembled slightly. He wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words.

His face flushed red, and although he was filled with anger and resentment, he had to admit that what Ling Xiao said made sense. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and secretly regretted why he was so impulsive and easily believed Ling Xiao's words.

At this time, Elder Gu, who had been standing quietly by the side observing the situation, also cast his gaze towards Ling Xiao. His eyes were deep, like a bottomless lake, and he looked at Ling Xiao carefully with scrutiny and inquiry.

From Ling Xiao's tall stature, to his calm demeanor, to the aura he exuded in his every move, Elder Gu took it all in. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "Are you Ling Xiao?" Although his voice was soft, it carried a kind of majesty that had been accumulated over the years.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and responded in a loud and clear voice: "It is the junior." His attitude was humble and polite, yet confident, giving people a just right feeling.

Elder Gu listened to Ling Xiao's answer and nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration on his face. He said with emotion: "You are very good! You can block my palm without getting hurt. This strength is really impressive. Among the young generation today, I am afraid that there are few who can be stronger than you. Even those of us who have been struggling in the martial arts world for many years, I am afraid that we can no longer regard ourselves as absolutely strong in front of you, right?"

Elder Gu's words not only showed his recognition of Ling Xiao's strength, but also revealed a hint of emotion about the passing of time and the fact that the new generation is replacing the old generation.

Ling Xiao smiled gently, bowed slightly, and said modestly: "It's just luck that I encountered some opportunities. I dare not show off in front of my seniors."

His tone was sincere, and his eyes were reserved, as if those so-called opportunities were just the accidental favor of fate and not worth mentioning. "On the road of cultivation, I am just a little bit lucky and have encountered some wonderful situations. I have the little ability now. Compared with the profound foundation of my predecessors, it is really far behind."

"Hmph, you don't have to be so modest. That would make you seem pretentious!" Elder Gu snorted coldly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

He stared at Ling Xiao with a sharp gaze, and then said, "Although you are a magic cultivator with outstanding talent, compared with the powerful magic cultivators on Bai Ze Continent, you are just an ant. Why would the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword go looking for you?"

Elder Gu's eyes were full of doubt and inquiry. In his opinion, although Ling Xiao had potential, he was still insignificant in the overall pattern of the magic world. It was really puzzling that a top-level magic weapon like the Black Sky Sword chose him.

Ling Xiao sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his expression, and said slowly: "This is just a little opportunity for the junior. I was lucky enough to see the incarnation of Lord Demon and got this sword. Who would have thought that it would be a disaster." He frowned slightly, as if he was still frightened when recalling that experience.

"At that time, everything happened extremely suddenly. I just entered that mysterious place by accident, and was favored by the clone of Lord Demon, and obtained this treasure. But since then, all kinds of troubles have followed. But now it's good, after handing over this thing, I feel relieved." Ling Xiao spread his hands, a look of relief appeared on his face.

Elder Gu stared at Ling Xiao with a look of scrutiny and suspicion, and asked word by word, "Spiritual treasures will return to their owners as soon as there is a chance. Is it true that the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword is not in your hands?"

His eyes seemed to penetrate Ling Xiao's heart, trying to find a flaw in his expression and eyes, not missing any subtle changes.

Ling Xiao spread his hands calmly with a humorous smile on his face, and said slowly: "Senior, do you think I have the ability to make that treasure recognize its master? You think too highly of me." He shook his head slightly, as if mocking himself, "Although I am extremely talented, I think I am unparalleled among the younger generation of Bai Ze Continent."

When he said this, a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting. "But even so, before I really grow up, facing those powerful beings, I am just an insignificant little ant. How can such a peerless treasure be easily controlled by me?"

Elder Gu nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his expression, but then he changed the subject and said sternly: "You are right, but you are too narrow-minded to brag about your unparalleled talent in Bai Ze Continent." He looked into the distance, as if he saw countless masters hidden in Bai Ze Continent, "Bai Ze Continent is vast and boundless, with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, countless geniuses, and there are countless people who are stronger than you. You are so conceited, and you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

"Haha, if you say so, then so be it." Ling Xiao smiled softly, and did not argue too much. He did not seem to want to dwell on this topic too much. "Today I unexpectedly met you and your group, and we talked for a while. It can be considered a fate. But I feel that this Zhaixing Tower City is really not a place for people to stay." He looked around, and a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes. "There are dangers and calculations everywhere, so it is better to leave as soon as possible."

"Are you willing to leave? You don't want the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword anymore?" Elder Gu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, with a bit of provocation and doubt in his eyes, as if testing Ling Xiao's true thoughts.

Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, his eyes full of sincerity, "Senior, please don't test me! This thing has brought me endless troubles in my possession. Various forces have been chasing me relentlessly for this sword, and I spend every day in fear. If I continue to possess this thing beyond my capabilities, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to seeking death." At this point, his tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
