Chapter 13903 Advisor Shangguan Yue

Although Ling Xiao had some desire in his heart, he quickly suppressed his greed.

He knew very well that there must be a reason for such abnormality, and it must be that a powerful being from the Demon Sea was secretly guarding him.

If one rashly attempts to seize the spiritual vein, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble and even expose one's whereabouts.

The most important thing at the moment is to find the inheritance of the Sword and Knife Demons. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and continued on his way to the Seven Kings Mountain.

Along the way, he slept in the open air and was not afraid of any difficulties or obstacles.

Sometimes you have to cross dense jungles and fight ferocious beasts; sometimes you have to climb steep mountains and move forward with difficulty between cliffs.

But he never gave up. He had only one goal in mind, which was to find the inheritance of the Twin Demons of Sword and Knife.

A few months later, the towering cliffs of Qiwang Mountain appeared before our eyes.

The mountain wall towered into the clouds, like a huge barrier that separated the Demon Sea from the outside world.

The city on the mountain is not as grand and majestic as imagined, but rather exudes an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

The city wall is built of huge stones, which are covered with mottled marks, as if they are scars left by time.

Those traces record the ups and downs that this city has experienced, as if telling the story of the years.

The whole city exudes a heavy atmosphere, which is the charm that has been accumulated over countless years, and it makes people feel awe involuntarily.

Ling Xiao stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at this mysterious city, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the city gate resolutely. He knew that what awaited him ahead would be more difficult challenges and unknown dangers.

Ling Xiao was concentrating his mind and gathering his energy, preparing to use a secret method to quietly sneak into the mysterious city of Qiwang Mountain.

He formed seals with his hands, and a faint spiritual energy flowed around his body. Just as he was about to activate the secret technique, a white figure flashed by like a ghost.

The figure was extremely fast, as if it had broken through the limitations of space, and instantly appeared not far in front of Ling Xiao.

The woman in front of me is about 20 years old, in the prime of youth, and exudes a lively aura.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail, which swayed gently with her movements, like a flexible ribbon.

A plain white robe swayed in the wind, with her sleeves fluttering in the wind, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

She gently waved the folding fan in her hand, which was painted with an elegant landscape painting. As she waved it, a faint fragrance wafted through the air.

She has the elegance of a scholar, with a gentle temperament in her speech and behavior; she also has the heroism of a warrior, with an upright posture and determination and courage in her eyes.

"Are you Ling Xiao?"

The woman's beautiful eyes were smiling, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and charming.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, echoing in the silent air.

Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged and he remained vigilant.

He nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Shangguan Yue, and I'm honored to be a counselor to the Twin Kings."

The woman clasped her hands together, bowed slightly, and performed a standard underworld etiquette.

"Hello, Miss Shangguan, I am Ling Xiao."

Ling Xiao also returned the greeting, his tone calm and composed.

Shangguan Yue smiled, and that smile seemed to be able to dispel all the haze in the world.

"Brother Ling, don't be nervous. We always treat our guests with sincerity. As long as the guests have good intentions, we will naturally treat them with courtesy."

Her voice was gentle and kind, as if she was soothing a frightened little animal.

Ling Xiao's eyes were stern, with a hint of doubt in them.

"How did the girl know my whereabouts?"

He stared into Shangguan Yue's eyes, trying to find the answer from her eyes.

"The Demon Sea has its own methods."

Shangguan Yue smiled mysteriously, with a hint of cunning in her smile.

She gently closed the folding fan and tapped it lightly in her hand, as if she was thinking about something.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in that smile.

"Forget it. Why are you being so mysterious? Girl, you should know that I have no good intentions towards you, the Demon Sea, and I am not a guest. I came here to investigate the situation in your Demon Sea."

He folded his arms across his chest, making no effort to conceal his purpose.

Shangguan Yue smiled, her smile still bright and she was not angry.

"Brother Ling came here to investigate the true situation of our Demon Sea. After the two kings learned about it, they specially ordered me to come and greet him and take him to visit some places in the Demon Sea. This will also allow Brother Ling to have a deeper understanding of our Demon Sea, and maybe change some of his views."

Her tone was sincere and earnest, as if she really hoped that Ling Xiao could have a new understanding of the Demon Sea.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, with a hint of vigilance and confusion in his eyes.

"Such hospitality makes me suspicious. Besides, the place you arranged for me may not be the place I want to see. Maybe you want to lure me into a carefully laid trap and catch me in one fell swoop."

He spread his hands in a defensive posture.

"Brother Ling, you are joking! Your courage is truly admirable. Although the Demon Sea is remote, it also knows heroes and heroes in the world. Brother Ling must have come here with the determination to find the truth. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can possess. If you are willing, you can follow me to visit the unique scenery of the Demon Sea, so that Brother Ling can have an intuitive understanding of our local customs and practices; if you don't want to, you can leave at any time, and the Demon Sea will never stop you. We in the Demon Sea have always been open and tolerant to others, and we will not force you to stay."

Shangguan Yue bowed slightly with just the right smile on her face. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm yet with a hint of subtle depth.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts. He stared straight at Shangguan Yue and asked, "Why is this so? I, Ling Xiao, am just an outsider, and I have bad intentions. It is really puzzling that you are so generous."

He crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry, trying to find the answer from Shangguan Yue's expression and words.

"No reason, just because the demon sea is confident."

Shangguan Yue blinked, and her smile was as bright as the brightest star in the night sky.

She gently shook the folding fan in her hand, and the tassels on the fan fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of agility.

"We, the Demon Sea, have gone through countless years and have a profound foundation, with many powerful people. Whether facing foreign invasion or internal disputes, we can deal with them calmly. Therefore, we are not afraid of Brother Ling's arrival. Instead, we are willing to treat him with sincerity and show our strength and broad-mindedness."

Ling Xiao also smiled, with a hint of provocation and unruliness in his smile: "Okay, then you lead the way. I hope you won't regret it in the future. People who are too arrogant are prone to fall."

"Brother Ling is also very confident. Please follow me."

Shangguan Yue gracefully made a gesture of invitation and turned to walk towards the city.

Her steps were light and graceful, as if every step was in rhythm.

The plain white robe swayed gently as she walked, like a white lotus blooming in the wind.
