Chapter 13306 A difficult decision

Ling Xiao's words revealed a calm attitude, as if everything was under control.

"No, I still can't abandon you. If I abandon you, my son will have to sever the father-son relationship with me."

Long Yingtian shook his head, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his tone. His eyes revealed his deep concern for Ling Xiao, as if at this moment, all reason and considerations have been overwhelmed by this deep friendship.

Ling Xiao saw this, and a warm current surged in his heart, but at the same time he also knew that the situation at the moment did not allow for any hesitation.

"My good Fu Zun, why don't you understand? If you don't go back, Chaos Demon City will definitely be in chaos.

There are not only powerful enemies around, eyeing them, but also internally unstable, and various forces are ready to move. Aren't you afraid that someone will take the opportunity to rebel and turn the entire Chaos Demon City upside down?"

Ling Xiao's words were filled with a bit of urgency and worry. He knew the importance of Long Yingtian to Chaos Demon City and how critical the situation was at the moment.

Hearing this, Long Yingtian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately thought of the top masters led by Empress Gong Qianfeng.

Those people might be able to restrain themselves when he was around, and maintain a certain respect and loyalty to him, but once he was gone, without this deterrence, they really couldn't suppress their inner ambitions and desires, and took the opportunity to launch a rebellion, dragging the entire Chaos Demon City into endless war and chaos.

Thinking of this, Long Yingtian frowned, and a trace of determination and firmness flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that as the Lord of Chaos Demon City, he shouldered the responsibility of protecting this land and people, and he could not ignore the overall situation because of personal feelings.

However, abandoning Ling Xiao made him feel heartbroken and difficult to choose. This contradiction and struggle filled his heart with pain and helplessness.

"But you..." Long Yingtian's voice was filled with deep worry, and his eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao, as if he wanted to deeply imprint the other's figure in his heart.

He knew very well that if he chose to leave at this moment, Ling Xiao would probably die here.

This worry not only stems from his deep friendship with Ling Xiao, but also because he knows that if Ling Xiao has any accident, he will fall into deep self-blame and will not be able to give a reasonable explanation to his son.

This contradiction and struggle made his heart feel as painful as being torn apart.

Just when Long Yingtian was in a dilemma, the token on his waist suddenly made a crisp sound, interrupting his thoughts.

He frowned, reached out to take out the token from his waist, and put it to his ear. In an instant, Cheng Shifei's slightly anxious voice came clearly into his ears.

"Fu Zun, this is a conspiracy. The Soul Clan has already attacked. The stronghold can't hold on and has retreated to Chaos Demon City. Wang Zhenshou and Zhao Heng are back, but..."

Cheng Shifei's voice seemed a little hesitant at this moment, and the hesitation revealed a deep worry about the news that was about to be said.

Long Yingtian's face suddenly became solemn, and he asked coldly: "But what? Cheng Shifei, tell me quickly, and don't hide anything."

There was unquestionable majesty in his voice. Obviously, he had prepared for the worst for what Cheng Shifei was going to say next.

"Because there were spies mixed in the base, when the Soul Clan launched the attack, the base was caught off guard and many people were killed and injured...

Fortunately, the young master appeared in time. He used his own strength to cooperate with Wang Zhenshou and Zhao Heng who had just returned to ensure that most people retreated safely to Chaos Demon City..."

Cheng Shifei's voice was filled with sadness and heaviness that was difficult to conceal. Every word seemed to carry a heavy weight, making it difficult for people to calm down after listening.

He paused slightly, and his tone was filled with worry: "This time the enemy's offensive is very fierce, and the Soul Clan's strongmen are almost out in full force. Their goal is obviously not just the stronghold, but the entire Chaos Demon City. The situation is critical and can no longer be delayed."

Long Yingtian's face became extremely solemn at this moment, and his eyes flashed with determination and firmness. He knew that as the Lord of Chaos Demon City, he must take on this responsibility and protect the city from falling into the hands of the enemy.

"Hold on, I'll be back soon!" Long Yingtian's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty and power, as if at this moment, he had thrown all personal emotions and safety behind him, leaving only endless loyalty and protection for Chaos Demon City.

Immediately, he stopped talking to Cheng Shifei, turned his eyes to Ling Xiao, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, as if he was making some difficult decision. "Boy, I'm sorry. Between you and the countless warriors in Chaos Demon City, I chose them. If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame Long Chen."

Long Yingtian's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and guilt, but more of his determination and persistence towards Chaos Demon City.

He knew that this decision might make Ling Xiao dissatisfied or even resentful, but he knew even more that as the Lord of the Mansion, he had to make the decision that was most beneficial to Chaos Demon City, even if this decision would put a heavy psychological burden on him.

"Lord of the Mansion, I'm not such an unreasonable person." Ling Xiao's voice was filled with a hint of determination and understanding, his eyes were clear, without the slightest resentment.

"I'm grateful that you can come and save me. At this critical moment, save most people first, this is a more important choice."

His tone was full of understanding and respect for Long Yingtian, without any moral kidnapping, just purely expressing his position and attitude.

In Ling Xiao's heart, he had no complaints about Long Yingtian's choice.

He knew that at such a critical moment, as the Lord of Chaos Demon City, Long Yingtian needed to take on greater responsibilities and make wiser choices.

Even if Ling Xiao died here today, he would not have any resentment towards Long Yingtian, because this was his own choice and he was willing to bear the consequences.

Hearing this, Long Yingtian felt a warm current in his heart, and his eyes were full of gratitude and admiration when he looked at Ling Xiao.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision, and then slowly said: "Sorry! I can't let you stay here alone. But I also have to protect Chaos Demon City, so..."

There was a hint of helplessness and determination in his words, and then he looked up at Lu Pao and continued: "Let me go out, I don't care about his affairs."

Hearing this, Lu Pao showed a look of relief on his face. He knew Long Yingtian's strength very well. If Long Yingtian was here, even if he had the Five Ghosts Bloodthirsty Formation, he would not be sure to win.

After all, as the lord of Luanmo City, Long Yingtian's strength is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
