Chapter 13905 Brainwashing
"Okay!" Ling Xiao responded without hesitation, with a hint of eagerness and anticipation in his voice.

He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to see whether Shangguan Yue was telling the truth or exaggerating.

If what she said was true, then there would be real trouble. As for the geniuses of the Dazhen Dynasty that he had met before, although each of them was young and promising, in his opinion, no one could be Lu Ning's opponent.

Now Shangguan Yue told him that there were nine people ahead of Lu Ning, and these were only the geniuses among the younger generation in the Demon Sea.

With Lu Ning's strength comparable to that of the Ten Kings, the Dazhen Dynasty is really pitifully weak compared to him.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the help of a mysterious master back then, the Dazhen Dynasty would have been destroyed by the sea of ​​demons long ago, and there is no way it would have survived in this world until now.

A moment later, a magnificent arena came into view.

The Colosseum was like a sleeping giant, lying quietly on the ground, exuding a majestic and mysterious atmosphere.

Between the flying eaves and brackets, the five large gilded characters "Qiwangshan Colosseum" sparkled in the sun, like the shimmering scales on a giant beast, dazzling and eye-catching.

In front of the arena, a middle-aged warrior in a dark blue robe walked hurriedly.

With a trace of fear and awe on his face, he bowed deeply to Shangguan Yue and said respectfully, "Sir Shangguan, I am honored to be here. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to come and greet you from afar!"

The voice was full of awe, as if Shangguan Yue was a god high above who would not tolerate the slightest offense.

Shangguan Yuelian took light steps and bowed slightly, her posture as graceful and charming as a willow in the wind.

She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was as pleasant as a clear mountain spring: "Thank you, Warrior Niu. I am here with a guest and would like to visit the arena. Is it convenient?"

There was just the right amount of politeness and humility in those words, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

When Niu Yongshi heard this, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face. That smile was like a blooming sunflower, full of enthusiasm and joy.

He quickly bowed and responded: "Convenient! Very convenient! Please come in, both of you!"

After saying this, he quickly stepped aside to make way, leaned forward slightly, and made a respectful invitation gesture, as if he was welcoming two distinguished guests.

The three of them walked slowly up the winding bluestone path. There were green trees on both sides of the path. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

Along the way, warriors were moving back and forth, some wearing tight clothes, some holding weapons, all of them were in high spirits and had extraordinary momentum.

When they saw Niu Yongshi and Shangguan Yue, they stopped and bowed to them with the utmost respect, as if Niu Yongshi and Shangguan Yue were the supreme beings in the arena.

Shangguan Yuelian walked briskly and suddenly turned to look at Ling Xiao. Her beautiful eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, sparkling with curiosity.

She moved her red lips slightly and asked softly, "Does Brother Ling have such an arena?"

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and answered concisely: "Very few."

He thought to himself that he had never seen an arena of such a large scale.

Even though the Ba Tian Academy where he was studying was somewhat well-known locally, its scale was dwarfed by the scale of the Seven Kings Mountain Arena and was far less spectacular than this one.

It seems that the Demon Sea attaches much more importance to martial arts than the Dazhen Dynasty.

Shangguan Yue's eyes were full of doubts, like a deep lake with ripples.

She asked, "I heard that you humans value knowledge more and don't pay that much attention to martial arts?"

There was a hint of confusion and inquiry in that tone.

Ling Xiao shook his head gently, his expression calm and patient. He slowly explained: "It's not like that, I just don't take it as seriously as you do. In our Dazhen Dynasty, both knowledge and martial arts have their importance, but the emphasis is different."

Shangguan Yue sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to carry a hint of worry and regret.

She said solemnly and with a firm gaze, "If one only knows how to read and write but ignores martial arts, even if he is knowledgeable, he will ultimately be nothing more than a sick man. If the sea of ​​demons sets foot in your land in the future, you must build more arenas to make more people pay attention to martial arts and improve their strength."

Ling Xiao sneered, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his laughter.

He looked at Shangguan Yue sharply and said bluntly, "It's interesting that the girl talks about the invasion in such a high-sounding way."

Shangguan Yue didn't care. She said in a firm tone, with an unquestionable look in her eyes, "Brother Ling, your land is developing slowly. We are going there to help you, not just to invade. The Demon Sea has rich martial arts resources and advanced cultivation concepts. We can bring these to your land to help you improve your strength and develop together."

“But once the war breaks out, the people will suffer devastatingly!” Ling Xiao’s expression suddenly darkened, as if shrouded by a thick layer of haze, and his worry was evident in his words like a flood that broke through a dam.

The tragic scenes of war emerged in his mind: the air was filled with smoke and flames, the people were crying and fleeing in the flames, countless families were torn apart and wives and children were separated.

The bloody scene made him feel heartbroken. "What's more, those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. You demons have always been ruthless and cruel, and it would be a miracle if you could treat humans well."

Ling Xiao's voice trembled slightly, with anger and anxiety that were difficult to conceal, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Shangguan Yue frowned slightly, but still argued. She took a step forward, looked at Ling Xiao firmly, and said, "Brother Ling, I understand your fear of war and your prejudice against demons, but please think about it from another perspective. A momentary pain is worth it if it can bring prosperity for generations to come. Moreover, I assure you with my dignity that the Demon Sea is not here to enslave humans, but sincerely wants to coexist peacefully with humans and treat humans equally. We can share resources, develop together, and make this land more prosperous."

Her voice was clear and powerful, trying to impress Ling Xiao with her sincerity.

Ling Xiao suddenly became serious, raised his head and laughed, his laughter was full of ridicule and disdain. "Hahahaha, you don't have the final say. There are so many demons, and you are just a woman. Do you really think you can change the behavior of the entire demon sea by yourself? You seven kings don't have the final say!"

He crossed his arms, his eyes revealing contempt, "The Demon Sea has always respected force and the strong prey on the weak. You have an aggressive nature in your bones, how can you change so easily?"

Shangguan Yue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Ling Xiao to be so tough. She calmed down and said suddenly: "As far as I know, someone in your place plans to take the initiative and attack the Demon Sea."

She stared at Ling Xiao, trying to catch a hint of information from his expression.
