Chapter 13137 Don't mess with him for now
Although the old man's words were brief, they were like spring breeze and rain, nourishing the heart of the middle-aged man.
He understood that although he failed, this failure was not meaningless. It made him see Ling Xiao's unfathomable depth, and also made the elders of the imperial palace begin to re-examine this mysterious strong man.
The old man did not seem to be very disappointed, but was vaguely surprised. He was surprised that even if his realm dropped sharply, Ling Xiao could still be so strong. This was really unexpected.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice:
"Although his realm plummeted, he was extremely calm, and even strong. He definitely had something to rely on. Moreover, the two little girls beside him were definitely not simple. Although these two little girls looked harmless, once they started fighting, they were extremely terrifying. Anyway, one of them could not be defeated by the subordinates' abilities."
The middle-aged man's tone was full of awe and emotion. His words not only portrayed Ling Xiao's calmness and strength, but also specifically mentioned the two seemingly ordinary but amazingly powerful little girls.
A trace of imperceptible fear flashed in his eyes. Obviously, the two little girls left a very deep impression on him. He knew that the strength of these two little girls must not be underestimated to be able to follow a figure like Ling Xiao.
The voice in the jade card was silent for a long time, as if the old man was also savoring the words of the middle-aged man and thinking about the deep meaning.
After a long while, the voice sounded again, with a bit of determination and depth: "We in Huangquan Bulao Mountain should not get involved in this matter for the time being. If I am not wrong, the news that Ling Xiao came to Zhenmofu City should spread quickly. At that time, there will be many people looking for trouble with him. Then, we will know what cards he has!"
The old man's decision seemed cautious and full of wisdom. He knew that in this turbulent world, acting rashly would only bring unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he chose to wait and see, and wait for the right time to make plans.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Elder, other forces are not moving at this time?"
The middle-aged man's voice was low and solemn, revealing his deep concern about the current situation. He frowned, his eyes penetrated the void, as if trying to spy on the movements of those forces hidden in the dark.
His words not only expressed doubts about the current situation, but also alertness to unknown threats.
The voice in the jade card said: "Because of this, this is the most terrifying. They are either afraid of each other or dare not move. No matter what, just watch and watch! If you are not careful, it may be a catastrophe. We must not be careless!"
The voice from the jade card was like a shrewd elder whispering in his ear, and every word struck the middle-aged man's heartstrings.
The voice contained profound wisdom and insight into the world, which made the middle-aged man respectful. He knew that the elder's words were not alarmist, but an accurate judgment of the current complex situation.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded firmly, his eyes flashing with determination and obedience. He understood that at this time, any rash action might push the sect into an abyss of no return.
Therefore, he must remain calm, obey the elder's instructions, and wait and see.
He put away the jade token, his movements were neat and decisive, as if he was showing his determination to himself and everyone else.
Then, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. The humiliation and unwillingness of being robbed by Ling Xiao weighed on his heart like a boulder, but he knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions.
He had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden for the future of the sect.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, his voice full of unquestionable majesty. He turned and looked at the warriors behind him, their eyes were also full of complex emotions.
...
Under the vast starry sky, deep and vast, countless stars were like tiny diamonds inlaid on black satin, flashing a distant and mysterious light.
In this boundless cosmic picture, a floating ship shuttled leisurely, its body light, like a meteor that cut through the night sky, its tail dragged a faint glow, leaving a series of gorgeous tracks, which was particularly eye-catching in the silent sea of stars.
Ling Xiao sat quietly on the deck of the airship, with his legs crossed, his hands gently folded on his knees, his eyes closed, and he was immersed in the depths of cultivation.
His breathing was long and steady, and every breath seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. There was a faint spiritual light flowing around his body, which was a sign that the power in his body was slowly growing.
Although the road ahead was unknown, full of challenges and variables, his eyes revealed determination and indomitable spirit, because he knew that only by constantly getting stronger could he protect everything he cherished in this world where the strong are respected.
Ah Li and Tong Tong, these two lively and cute little guys, were tired of playing at this moment, curled up beside Ling Xiao, with a satisfied and peaceful smile on their faces. Their breathing was even and subtle, as if even their dreams were sweet.
For them, being able to snuggle up to Ling Xiao and feel his warm and powerful breath was the greatest happiness and peace in the world.
Ling Xiao looked at them tenderly, and a warm current surged in his heart. He never forced them to practice, because at this age, enjoying the happiness and innocence of childhood is far more important than carrying heavy responsibilities too early.
One morning a few days later, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the airship, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. His eyes penetrated the heavy clouds and fell on the distant horizon.
There, a magnificent city wall suddenly appeared, spanning the sky, as if it was a masterpiece of nature and human wisdom, so wide that it was daunting and the edge could not be seen at all.
The height of the city wall was even more amazing, at least hundreds of miles long, piercing the sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
And in the center of the city wall, a wide and flat stone road was clearly visible, like a silver ribbon, running east-west and leading to the end of the city.
On both sides of the road, the outlines of the buildings with carved beams and painted buildings were vaguely visible. Although not close, the simplicity and solemnity made people feel awe.
Occasionally, pedestrians or carriages hurried past on the stone road, leaving behind a series of crisp horse hoof sounds and laughter, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this ancient and mysterious city.
Above the center of the city wall, three powerful and golden characters "Zhen Mo Fu" stand out. They seem to be marks carved by ancient times, revealing an inviolable majesty and solemnity.
These three characters, every stroke contains great power and profound history, which makes people feel awe.
