Chapter 14151 Disdain
Ling Xiao, shameless and ignoring the indifferent attitude of the man in the green robe, lifted his foot to chase after him, muttering, "Senior, why don't I go in and take a look? Maybe I can be of some help."
"You, wait here."
The illusory figure in the green robe didn't even turn his head. His indifferent tone was like a cold wind, instantly extinguishing the small flame that had just ignited in Ling Xiao's heart.
Ling Xiao paused, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.
He could only watch helplessly as his sister was gently lifted by the azure energy halo, like a light feather, and slowly drifted with the illusory figure of the man in the azure robe towards a relatively well-preserved ancient stone hall deep within the ruins.
The stone hall stood out starkly amidst the ruins, like a pearl hidden in a corner forgotten by time.
The stone hall doors opened silently, emitting a slight creak, as if telling an ancient story.
Then, the door slowly closed in front of him, like an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside and completely cutting off the little fox's view of him.
Ling Xiao stood outside the palace, his heart pounding like a cat on a hot tin roof, anxiously pacing back and forth.
He could only pace anxiously outside the hall, each step filled with worry and anticipation.
The footsteps were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes heavy on the ground as if to vent all the anxiety in his heart; and sometimes light as if afraid to disturb everything that was happening inside the hall.
He was like a father waiting for news from the delivery room, pacing anxiously outside the door. Sometimes he would cross his arms and furrow his brow; other times he would crane his neck, trying to see through the heavy stone door to see what was happening inside, while constantly muttering, "Ah Li, you must be safe and sound."
Inside the palace, the scene was completely different from the dilapidated ruins outside.
The dome was so high and wide that it seemed to contain the entire universe, and it was engraved with mysterious star and sword diagrams.
The stars shimmered with a mysterious light, and the sword diagram had smooth and sharp lines, as if it contained endless secrets of the sword. Just by gazing at it for a moment, one felt as if they would be swallowed up by that powerful sword intent.
The ground was as smooth as a mirror, like a giant crystal, reflecting the starlight flowing above.
The starlight, like a flowing galaxy, shimmered and danced on the ground, a truly magnificent sight.
The little fox sat cross-legged on an ancient prayer mat in the center of the main hall.
The futon exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, which seemed to have a calming and soothing effect.
The little fox stood tall and straight, its eyes focused and determined. Although it might have felt a little nervous, it was more excited about the unknown opportunities.
Above her head was not an ordinary white light, but a phantom of a sea beast, shrunk countless times yet condensed to the extreme!
The phantom of the sea beast emitted a ghostly blue light, like the deep ocean, mysterious and powerful.
Its shape is very similar to a dragon from the deep sea. Its body is winding and twisting, its scales shimmer with a metallic luster, and its whiskers are fluttering, as if it is sensing the energy fluctuations around it.
The dragon's claws were as sharp as swords, seemingly capable of tearing apart any obstacle.
The illusory image of the man in the green robe stood inside the palace gate, not completely dissipating.
His figure was as ethereal as smoke, yet he possessed an undeniable air of authority.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the heavy stone door, as if he could "see" Ling Xiao outside, scratching his head and looking extremely anxious.
"Where did you find such a well-behaved little fox?"
The voice of the illusory man in the green robe rang directly in Ling Xiao's ears. The voice carried a hint of inquiry, as if he wanted to dig out all the secrets of the little fox from Ling Xiao's mouth.
The sound seemed to come from the distant horizon, yet it entered Ling Xiao's ears clearly, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Upon hearing the slightly questioning words of the illusory man in the green robe, Ling Xiao reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger.
He quickly pursed his lips at the tightly closed stone door, his face full of dissatisfaction, and retorted loudly, "What do you mean by 'turned over'? Old man, your words are too awful!"
"I was entrusted by her family to bring her out into the world with full sincerity and a sense of responsibility!"
"He did his best for her the whole way, practically treating her like a precious treasure. How come he's become a 'cripple' in your eyes?"
The illusory figure of the man in the green robe remained silent for a moment, his ethereal form, like a wisp of smoke, seemingly lost in thought.
A moment later, his voice rang in Ling Xiao's ears again, like a whisper from another world: "You are not of this world."
"Where are you from?"
Although the voice was calm, it carried an undeniable authority that made Ling Xiao's heart tighten.
Ling Xiao was slightly startled and muttered to himself: This senior is indeed unfathomable; he can even see through this.
He dared not conceal anything and hurriedly replied respectfully, "This junior comes from the Demon Sea, which is... well, a rather remote little place."
"Although it's not a big place, it has unique scenery and stories, but compared to this bustling world, it seems rather insignificant."
"The Sea of Demons?"
The illusory figure of the man in the green robe seemed to be searching for information about this place in the long river of memory. His voice carried a hint of doubt, "The outer spatial barrier of this world has long been shattered by the minions of the 'Hall of Annihilation'. That spatial barrier was like a fragile defense line, wantonly destroyed by those vicious guys."
“Furthermore, spatial turbulence raged, like ferocious beasts that devoured everything in their path.”
“Ordinary martial artists could never cross this point. You little guy are quite something.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao gave a bitter smile, a smile that carried a hint of helplessness and relief.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "It was by chance that I was able to arrive here with the help of a... well, a mysterious senior."
"That senior was incredibly powerful. With just a wave of his hand, he opened up a safe passage for me, allowing me to escape the terrifying spatial turbulence and the pursuit of the 'Sanctuary of Annihilation's' minions."
"However, I promised that senior that I could not reveal too much information about him."
He thought to himself, "I mustn't reveal Lei Ling's matter, lest it cause her any trouble."
The illusory figure of the man in the green robe seemed to want to ask more questions. His illusory figure moved slightly, as if an invisible pressure was coming towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao felt the pressure and his heart tightened. He quickly added, "Senior, rest assured. My brother and I have come here only to seek opportunities and have no other intentions."
"We are like two devout believers who have come to this sacred place, only to seek the power that can make us stronger, and we will not do anything to damage your sect's relics!"
"We will definitely respect everything here, explore carefully, and not damage anything."
The illusory figure in the green robe remained silent for a moment, then the emotionless voice rang out again: "That would be for the best."
