Chapter 13904 Winning over
As you step into Qiwang Mountain, a solemn and dignified atmosphere hits you.
Cavalrymen galloped through the streets from time to time, the sound of horse hooves echoing like thunder in the streets.
These cavalrymen were wearing black armor, which flashed a cold light in the sun, as if it was armor from hell.
The murderous aura emanating from them is chilling, as if countless sharp blades are hanging over one's head, forcing one to not slack off in the slightest.
Ling Xiao was secretly amazed in his heart. The strength of these cavalrymen was far beyond his imagination. Each of them seemed like a warrior walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with endless murderous intent and determination in their eyes.
Whenever the cavalry passed by, they would salute Shangguan Yue on horseback.
They pulled the reins, the horses raised their front hooves high, the cavalrymen knelt on one knee, clasped their hands together, and shouted loudly: "Greetings, Mr. Shangguan!"
The voice was uniform and loud, as if it came from one person.
Shangguan Yue would also smile in return. She nodded slightly and said softly, "No need to be polite. Let's continue patrolling."
The voice was gentle and kind, forming a sharp contrast with the solemnity of the cavalrymen.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao became even more curious about Shangguan Yue's identity. He said, "The girl is of extraordinary status. To be respected by these powerful cavalrymen, she must have a high status in the sea of demons."
His eyes were fixed on Shangguan Yue, trying to find some clues from her reaction.
Shangguan Yue covered her fan with her hands and chuckled, her laughter as clear and sweet as a silver bell.
"It's just to be closer to your majesty. I am just an adviser to the two kings. I usually give them advice and handle some trivial matters. These cavalrymen respect me only for the sake of the two kings."
A hint of imperceptible pride flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
In the misty mountains that look like a fairyland, the soft mountain mist like a gauze lingers around Lingxiao.
The mountain mist seemed to have a spirit, sometimes gently touching his clothes, and sometimes playfully weaving through his hair.
Ling Xiao stood tall and straight, quietly in the haze, like a statue isolated from the world.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes passing through the layers of dreamy clouds, towards the towering buildings that were half-hidden and half-hidden by the clouds.
The building is towering into the clouds and looks majestic, as if it carries countless secrets and legends.
At this moment, Ling Xiao's heart was like a lake with a stone thrown into it, rippling all over, and filled with endless curiosity about the mysterious sea of demons.
The Demon Sea is a place full of unknowns and dangers. Legend has it that demons are rampant there, but it also hides countless coveted treasures and powerful skills.
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful light flashing in his deep eyes, and asked in a low and powerful voice: "Among the younger generation of the Demon Sea, are there many people who can be called geniuses?"
The sound seemed to have a penetrating power, echoing in the empty mountains.
Shangguan Yue, standing aside, was dressed in elegant clothes, like an orchid blooming in the mountains.
She gently raised her jade hand, and her fingertips brushed across the cloud-patterned cuffs like a nimble butterfly. The delicate touch seemed to speak of elegance and calmness.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, which was as warm and charming as the sunshine in spring.
She responded calmly, "Of course there are a lot of talented people. The Demon Sea has a Demon Ranking, which is a symbol of the strength of the younger generation in the Demon Sea. The ten people on the list are all outstanding people of the younger generation. Their reputations are spread far and wide, and their legendary stories are spread in every corner of the Demon Sea."
Ling Xiao's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to that thrilling confrontation.
Memories came flooding back like a tide. On that battlefield filled with smoke and murderous aura, a woman with a light figure and a long sword in hand attacked him like a flash of lightning.
When she swung her sword, the sharp edge seemed to be able to cut through the air. Every move she made was tricky and ruthless, making it impossible to defend against.
Moreover, she actually knew some kind of Heavenly Demon Sword Technique. That strange sword technique made Ling Xiao suffer a lot in the battle.
At this moment, the scene of the woman swinging her sword seemed to still flash before his eyes. Ling Xiao's eyes darkened and he said solemnly, "I have met a woman who uses a sword before. She was young, but her swordsmanship was tricky and ruthless. She even knew some kind of Heavenly Demon Sword Technique. I wonder where she ranks on this list?"
Shangguan Yue frowned slightly, her dark eyebrows like distant mountains were gently furrowed, as if she was thinking about an extremely complicated problem.
She held her chin with her hand, her eyes revealing a thoughtful gleam. After a moment, she slowly said, "Brother Ling, is it Lü Ning from the demon race that you are talking about? With her strength, she is only ranked tenth."
"With her strength, she is only at the bottom of the list?" Ling Xiao's face was full of disbelief, his eyes were wide open as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.
The intensity of that battle is still vivid in his mind. He and the woman fought back and forth on the battlefield, with swords intertwining and dazzling sparks bursting out with every collision.
It was hard for him to imagine that a woman with such powerful strength was only ranked tenth on the Demon List.
"It's just because she has only been at that level until now." Shangguan Yue said in a flat tone, as if she was talking about a commonplace matter.
There was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was used to all this.
Ling Xiao's originally calm expression suddenly became solemn like the surface of a lake swept by a strong wind the moment he heard that the woman, Lu Ning, was only ranked tenth on the Demon List.
His brows were tightly furrowed, like two steep peaks, and his deep eyes were full of solemnity and shock.
He had personally experienced the strength of that woman. In that thrilling confrontation, Lu Ning's swordsmanship was sharp, and every move was full of murderous intent, as if he was a Shura walking out of hell, with a terrifying might.
The Heavenly Demon Sword Skills she displayed were even more bizarre and unpredictable, putting Ling Xiao in danger during the battle. If he had not tried his best, he would have died on the spot.
But such a powerful woman is only ranked tenth on the Demon List. The depth of this sea of demons is like a bottomless abyss, far beyond his imagination.
However, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. In this world, it's hard to tell the truth from the false. What if Shangguan Yue was just bragging?
If she was just making it up, then none of this could be taken seriously.
After all, this demon list sounds too shocking, and it is hard to believe it completely unless you see it with your own eyes.
Shangguan Yue seemed to see through Ling Xiao's shock and doubt. Her lively eyes moved and her smile became more intense, like a flower blooming in spring, delicate and charming.
She raised her chin slightly, opened her red lips, and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice: "What a coincidence, one of the people on the list is in the Seven Kings Mountain Arena ahead. I will take Brother Ling there later. I will let you see with your own eyes the style of the master on the Demon List."
