Chapter 13925 We Believe in You

There was a hint of ridicule in Ling Xiao's voice, but his eyes revealed his gratitude for the two's trust.

Crown Prince Liu Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head, a trace of helplessness and worry on his face.

"They will surely be in great danger if they go there. The depth of the Demon Sea is far beyond imagination. I have seen records in ancient books that there is a terrifying ancient demon beast sleeping there. The demon beast is huge, like a moving mountain. Once it comes out, the sky and the earth will change color. Its power is enough to destroy everything. Wherever it goes, all living things will be destroyed and no grass will grow. This time, we will undoubtedly go deep into the tiger's den. If we are not careful, we may be wiped out."

His voice was filled with concern for everyone, and also revealed his awe of the powerful strength of the Demon Sea.

His brows were furrowed, as if he had already seen the terrible scene and his heart was full of worry.

“Why didn’t those two stop us?” The golden light around Ling Xiao became more and more dazzling, like a scorching sun. Wherever the light reached, ripples appeared in the void.

His sword-like brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with confusion and questioning. That light seemed to be the outward manifestation of the doubts in his heart, carrying a majesty that could not be ignored.

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his clothes fluttered in the breeze of light, as if he was declaring his position to this chaotic world of cultivation.

Liu Heng looked at the void outside the hall that was about to break. In the void, space cracks were spreading like a black python, and violent space turbulence was whistling through it, as if foreshadowing a storm was coming.

A strange light flashed in the crack from time to time, as if it was hiding countless unknown dangers.

He sighed, his voice full of vicissitudes and helplessness: "Human hearts are hard to predict, and greed is hard to appease. Hundreds of thousands of monks have long been blinded by the temptation of treasures and are willing to die. In their eyes, there are only the illusory treasures, but they don't know how many conspiracies and traps are hidden behind them. The Sword King and his men just want to use others to test the truth of the Demon Sea. They think that using these monks driven by greed as pioneers can not only reduce their own losses, but also find out the details of the Demon Sea. Moreover, there may be even greater conflicts of interest behind them. The forces of all parties are intertwined, checking and using each other, and the water in it is unfathomable. Perhaps, in this dispute, everyone is just a pawn, manipulated at will by those forces hidden in the dark."

Suddenly, Liu Heng's expression became serious, and energy surged throughout his body, as if an invisible force was surging in his body.

His hair fluttered in the wind, his clothes rustled, and his whole body exuded an aura of determination.

He looked at Ling Xiao firmly, clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "Brother Ling, I have a favor to ask of you. Although I have the ambition to revive the Dazhen Dynasty and want the dynasty to regain its former glory, this is easier said than done. Inside the dynasty, various forces are fighting openly and secretly, fighting for a little benefit; outside, there are many powerful enemies surrounding and eyeing covetously. I only hope that if there is a conflict between the Dazhen Dynasty and Brother Ling in the future, Brother Ling can let my father go. My father worked hard for the dynasty all his life. Although he sometimes made wrong decisions, it was also for the continuation of the dynasty. He is also helpless in this complicated situation. I hope Brother Ling can understand."

After saying that, he shook his wrist slightly, and a storage ring engraved with ancient runes flew towards Ling Xiao.

A strange light flowed on the surface of the ring, as if it contained infinite mysteries. Those ancient runes flickered, as if telling unknown history.

Wherever the ring passed, the air seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, rippling through layers of tiny waves, as if making way for the mysterious ring.

Ling Xiao snapped his fingers, and a fierce force hit the storage ring. The storage ring flew back and stopped steadily in front of Liu Heng.

The golden light around him surged, like a majestic god, and his voice was loud and firm: "You're welcome. I will remember what you did to help me. Even if I become your enemy in the future, I will let you and your father go. There's no need to swear, I will never regret what I said. I, Ling Xiao, always keep my promises. Although there are many helpless things in this world, the morality in my heart has never wavered. I am willing to prove my promise with my actions."

Crown Prince Liu Heng smiled with relief, and in that smile there was a hint of relief and gratitude.

The green light around him gradually dissipated, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

He knew very well that in this complicated situation, getting a promise like Ling Xiao's was undoubtedly a huge guarantee.

At this time, Ling Xiao already understood in his heart that in this world of cultivation full of greed and conspiracy, interests are intertwined and people's hearts are complicated. Only by sticking to one's original heart can one find a glimmer of hope in this chaos.

He looked at the huge army outside the hall that was about to set out on an expedition. The army was surging like a black tide, with flags waving and shouts of killing seemed to be heard faintly.

He secretly clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and a sense of determination rose in his heart.

The world has now fallen into chaos. Various forces are using all means to pursue their own interests, and countless lives are suffering in this conflict.

Perhaps, he should do something about this chaotic situation. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he will never back down.

Ling Xiao sat quietly on the chair made of thousand-year-old black iron, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the chair.

This chair has gone through the vicissitudes of time, and the ancient patterns on it are like winding ancient runes, slightly protruding in his palm, with a rough yet real touch.

Every line seems to be telling the glory and vicissitudes of the past, making people immersed in the reverie of history.

Even at this moment, deep in his heart, he was filled with a burning desire for the legendary treasure of heaven and earth.

This treasure from heaven and earth exuded a mysterious and alluring light, as if it possessed the power to change the world, enough to drive any cultivator crazy.

However, even though this temptation came at him like a surging tide, his inner bottom line was like a towering mountain and never wavered in the slightest.

The faces of those who had extended a helping hand to him in his most difficult moments appeared in his mind one by one. He always remembered their kindness, like a mark engraved deep in his soul, which he would never forget.

Liu Heng stood quietly by the side, his eyes always on Ling Xiao.

Looking at the young man in front of him, a barely perceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.

That appreciation included praise for Ling Xiao's loyalty and righteousness, as well as admiration for his adherence to the bottom line.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice low and steady: "Brother Ling is so righteous."

These four simple words contain his sincere respect for Ling Xiao.

Qin Xianglan stood quietly by the side with a graceful figure.

Her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, looked around, and there was a little more admiration in her gaze towards Ling Xiao. (End of this chapter)
