Chapter 14304 A Deal from the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary
How strong are they?
Ling Xiao pressed on impatiently, his face showing curiosity, his eyes sparkling with a desire to explore the unknown power.
He knew that in this dog-eat-dog world, strength was the foundation for survival. If he could understand the strength of the behemoth army, he might be able to find a way to deal with the current crisis.
Lu Ning lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyes, as if concealing her inner hesitation and uncertainty.
"Very strong, but I really don't know exactly how strong."
According to ancient records from the Demon Sea, the Giant Beast Army once turned the tide of a great battle, defeating a powerful enemy with overwhelming force. However, those records are too vague to allow me to make an accurate assessment of their strength.
All that is known is that once they set out, they are like gods descending to earth, invincible wherever they go.
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to press for more information, he suddenly seemed to realize something and abruptly looked up at the starry sky.
At this moment, the night sky had already been covered by countless stars, like jewels embedded in the black sky.
However, a Ziwei star was flickering strangely, its light seemingly conveying some mysterious signal.
Just then, where the Purple Star twinkled, an old man in silver robes quietly appeared, his figure appearing and disappearing in the starry sky like a ghost.
The defensive array outside Batian City rippled, like the ripples created when a stone is thrown into a calm lake, and quickly spread outwards.
The disciples patrolling the city wall became alert. Their faces were solemn as they quickly drew their swords, the blades gleaming coldly as if declaring their resolve to the enemy.
Countless beams of energy shot into the night sky, their light like dazzling meteors piercing the darkness, attempting to stop the mysterious old man from getting closer.
However, the old man seemed oblivious. His robes gleamed coldly in the light of the spiritual fire, a light as chilling as frost on a cold night.
His gaze pierced through layers of defense, landing on Ling Xiao like a sharp sword, as if trying to see right through him.
He stepped out of the star trail, his movement light and elegant, yet seemingly containing boundless power.
In an instant, he appeared on the Flying Rainbow Bridge, his silver robes motionless in the mountain wind, as if he had become one with the world.
The way he looked at Ling Xiao was like examining an object; his gaze was filled with indifference and disdain, as if Ling Xiao was nothing more than an insignificant being in his eyes.
"I come from the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, and I've come to discuss a deal with you!"
His voice was deep and hoarse, echoing in the night sky, as if carrying an undeniable authority.
"trade?"
Upon hearing this word, a sharp, cold glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, like an icy blade in winter, piercing straight towards the old man opposite him.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a mocking smile on his face, and said in an icy voice, "You have quite the nerve. As a member of the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall, you actually dare to come to my Overlord City alone and even want to make a deal with me."
Heh, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?
My Overlord City isn't a place where just anyone can come and go as they please. Since you've come, you'd better be prepared not to leave.
The old man, however, remained calm and composed. He slowly raised his hand and gently stroked his long, white beard, which swayed slightly in the night breeze, as if symbolizing his composure.
His smile appeared particularly eerie under the starlight, like a ghost hidden in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.
"I'm afraid... but when two countries are at war, it is customary not to kill envoys; this has been the rule since ancient times."
I believe Your Majesty the Overlord has the magnanimity to break these rules easily.
I have come here with the intention of discussing a deal with you in good faith, and I hope Your Majesty will grant me a chance to speak.
"Enough with the nonsense, what kind of deal do you want?"
Ling Xiao said coldly and impatiently, his eyes revealing disgust and disdain, as if he was not interested in the old man's so-called deal at all, but also wanted to see what tricks he could play.
"It's very simple. Your Majesty killed our Holy Lord's son, so we'll give the Holy Lord another son, even if they're not related by blood, it doesn't matter."
The old man still wore a smile, but that smile revealed an unfathomable sinister intent.
Ling Xiao: "."
He was so stunned by the old man's absurd suggestion that he was speechless for a moment. His expression was quite interesting, showing anger, surprise, and a hint of disbelief.
"You fucking want me to be that old bastard's son?"
Why don't you do it?
Ling Xiao finally couldn't help but swear. He rolled his eyes, his gaze full of disdain.
What kind of deal is this? This is blatant humiliation!
He, the mighty Emperor, who commands respect across the land, would never suffer such humiliation.
However, this Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord seems to care nothing about his son, as if his death is nothing to him.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but wonder what the situation was like inside the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall, that even the Holy Lord's son could be so easily abandoned.
Ji Mingkong stood to the side with a strange expression. Her eyes revealed anger and vigilance, and her hand was already on her sword, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
transaction?
In her view, this was clearly another way of saying "persuade to surrender"!
The old man was openly challenging the dignity of Batian City, and she was ready to draw her sword at any moment and fight him.
The old man seemed oblivious to Ji Mingkong's hostility. He took two steps forward, his steps steady and slow.
The sacred patterns embroidered on his silver robe were faintly visible in the night, as if radiating a mysterious power.
"Don't think this is disrespect; the Holy Lord values you highly."
You may not know how glorious the future will be once you become the son of the Holy Lord!
In the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, you will possess endless power and resources, enjoy the admiration of the world, and become a figure second only to the emperor.
This is not an opportunity that just anyone can get; Your Majesty, you should think it over carefully.
The old man tried to lure Ling Xiao with this so-called "glorious future," but little did he know how ridiculous his words sounded to Ling Xiao.
He slowly walked forward, his steps steady yet carrying an inexplicable sense of oppression, until he stopped three steps away from Lingxiao.
He tilted his head slightly, staring straight at Ling Xiao, his voice carrying an irresistible allure, like a demon whispering in his ear: "In the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, you will have an incomparably noble status, a status that surpasses everyone else."
With real power in hand, no matter what order is given, a group of people will rush to carry it out.
He was truly second only to the emperor, enjoying endless respect and awe.
Wealth will flow into your life like a river, and you can squander mountains of gold and silver.
And there are countless beauties, of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique charm, all readily available. With just a gentle beckoning, they will fall into your arms.
