Chapter 13722 Let the boy run away again

Seeing the surprise on Ling Xiao's face, Yao Huo suddenly became proud and showed a ferocious smile on his face. The smile sounded like the cry of a night owl, which made people shudder: "Boy, look at you now, where can you run? Today is the day you die!"

Ling Xiao sighed helplessly. Although there was a hint of helplessness on his face, he also showed a bit of indifference. He opened his mouth and said:
"I didn't expect that the old man from Xuantian Temple would dare to help your temple despite the world's disapproval. It seems that you have spent a lot of money to get the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword. In this case, why don't you just give me the money and I will sell the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword to you. We can each get what we need, isn't it wonderful?"

“Hmph!” Yaohuo snorted coldly, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of disdain and murderous intent, “Do you think we are all fools? We know exactly how Zhuxue went crazy. Now, we not only want to get the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, but more importantly, we have to completely eradicate this scourge of yours to prevent future troubles!”

Having said that, Yaohuo smiled coldly, and that smile was like frost in the cold winter.

"Of course, if you still want to struggle to the death, you can choose to escape. However, I advise you to save your energy. Look around. This space has been reinforced by us. If you want to use the power of space to escape, you can only break through the barrier set up by all of us by yourself!"

Ling Xiao sighed helplessly, his eyes revealing a deep sense of helplessness and ridicule, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile, and said:
"Everyone, why are you forcing me so hard? I have no grudges against your church, and I don't owe you any money. But you all seem to have an irreconcilable hatred for me. Why is that? Did I cheat on you when you weren't paying attention?"

His voice floated in the breeze, with a bit of unruliness and carefreeness, which seemed out of place in this tense atmosphere.

“Stop talking nonsense!” Yao Huo’s eyes widened with anger, and the ferocity on his face became more and more obvious. He roared viciously, “Unless you can untie the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword from yourself and hand over the sword obediently, otherwise, today is the day you die, and you will never be able to leave this hill alive!”

Yaohuo knew clearly that Ling Xiao was not someone he could easily deal with. It would be best if he could avoid taking any action and let Ling Xiao unbind him on his own initiative.

Furthermore, although they seemed aggressive on the surface, they were actually using secret methods to try to completely lock onto Ling Xiao's location. At this critical juncture, they couldn't force Ling Xiao to run away desperately, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to track him down.

"Want to lock on to my location? You are overthinking this, it's simply a daydream!" Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised his head and laughed. The laughter was hearty and unrestrained, as if he was mocking Yaohuo and others for overestimating their own abilities.

Just as the laughter was still echoing in the air, the next moment, his body disappeared out of thin air without any warning like an illusory shadow, leaving only an empty place, as if he had never appeared there.

"Damn it, that's not his real body, just a clone!" Yaohuo's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. He was full of regret. He never expected that Ling Xiao was so alert and sharp. He sensed the dangerous breath before they completely locked him, and chose to evacuate without hesitation.

"What should we do, Lord Yaohuo?" The powerful men of the Holy Hall looked at each other and then turned their gazes to Yaohuo, their eyes full of anxiety and questioning.

Yaohuo stamped his feet fiercely, sighed deeply, and said with an annoyed look on his face: "This kid is too cunning! He must have expected that we would use Xuantian Temple's tracking technique to find his whereabouts, so he prepared a clone in advance to play along. He is just like a slippery loach, making it impossible for us to start with him!"

As he spoke, he paced back and forth, trying to calm his inner restlessness and anger.

After thinking for a moment, Yaohuo suddenly stopped, with a trace of determination in his eyes, "There is no other way. We failed to successfully lock onto his true self this time, and we have to rely on the power of Xuantian Temple. Let's go, everyone, follow me to find Xuantianzi, and then think of a long-term plan!"

After saying that, Yaohuo led everyone and hurriedly rushed towards Xuantian Temple, leaving only silence on the hill, as if the thrilling confrontation just now was just an illusory dream.

Yaohuo and his group hurriedly headed towards Xuantian Temple again. Along the way, everyone looked solemn and hurried. When they finally arrived at the majestic and ancient gate of Xuantian Temple, they found that the atmosphere inside the temple was unusually quiet, completely different from the solemnity of the past, and faintly revealed a hint of weirdness.

Yaohuo suppressed his inner anxiety, strode into the temple, and looked everywhere for Xuan Tianzi. However, after searching for a while, he still could not find any trace of Xuan Tianzi.

In desperation, Yaohuo had to stop a disciple from Xuantian Temple. The disciple looked hurried, with a barely perceptible hint of panic in his eyes.

Yaohuo frowned, with a bit of urgency and displeasure in his tone, and asked: "Where is Xuan Tianzi? We have something urgent to find him!" The disciple lowered his head slightly, and replied with a trembling voice: "Reporting to the Lord, Xuan Tianzi... He is seriously injured and has chosen to retreat and not see anyone."

Upon hearing this, Yaohuo's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, like the gloomy sky before a storm. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his joints turned white due to the force.

Yaohuo knew that although the Holy Hall was now very powerful in the martial arts world, it was also facing the crazy backlash from the remnants of the Demon Sect, and the situation was precarious. In this situation, they really couldn't rashly offend too many enemies.

What's more, Xuantian Temple has helped them many times before. Last time, Xuantianzi even spent his own blood and energy to help them track down Ling Xiao, which led to his forced seclusion now.

If they really take a hard approach this time and force Emperor Xuan Tianzi to come out to help, it is very likely that Xuantian Temple will be completely pushed to Ling Xiao's side, and the situation faced by the Holy Hall will then become even more difficult.

Yaohuo was filled with resentment and anger, but he had nowhere to vent. He paced back and forth in Xuantian Temple, struggling for a long time. Finally, he sighed deeply, waved his hand helplessly, and turned around and left with everyone.

Although he suspected that Xuan Tianzi might not want to work hard for them anymore, he could not force Xuan Tian Temple to the enemy side because of a momentary impulse, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. (End of this chapter)
