#13633 - Fire Demon

Bai Yan said in a deep voice: "On the surface, they appear dignified and promote justice, but behind the scenes, they engage in despicable and shameless activities.

Recently, they have shown unprecedented enthusiasm towards Ling Bi, Xiao Lian Zhu, and Meng Haoqing, generously bestowing upon them a large amount of cultivation resources. Undoubtedly, there is a hidden and unspeakable conspiracy behind this."

Ling Xiao clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. His heart was filled with anger and unwillingness. "I understand!"

He said in a low voice, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness. However, reality is always cruel. With his current strength, trying to confront the Righteous Qi Hall head-on would undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a stone, only to humiliate himself.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao was not fighting alone. He was somewhat relieved that the Golden Money Gang had dispatched high-level Core Formation Realm experts to secretly protect Ling Bi and the others.

Each of these experts is exceptionally powerful, enough to step forward at crucial moments and protect them from harm. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's anxiety eased a little, but he knew that this was only temporary peace, and the real battle would come sooner or later.

"Strength! In the end, my strength is still not enough!" Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, his voice revealing both unyieldingness and helplessness.

Although he had already stood out among his peers and become a top existence, and even surpassed some of the older generation of experts in some respects, he knew that this world was far more complex and cruel than he imagined.

Those old monsters all possess unfathomable strength and strange methods, and are by no means easy to deal with. What made him even more fearful was that there were also some heaven-defying geniuses whose talent and strength even surpassed those old monsters, making them true threats.

A firm light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this world where the strong are respected, he could only continuously improve his strength to be invincible. He secretly vowed that no matter how difficult the road ahead, he would move forward courageously until he stood at the peak of this world.

"I'm leaving!" Ling Xiao looked at Bai Yan, his voice carrying a hint of determination and gratitude. He knew that it was not easy to get information from Bai Yan this time. Although the two had been opponents, at this moment, Ling Xiao felt a hint of respect for Bai Yan.

Hearing this, Bai Yan's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said: "No need to thank me, I just hope you don't treat me as an enemy again." His voice carried some sincerity and relief, as if he had let go of past grievances.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly and said, "It depends on your future performance." His voice was calm, but it contained an unspeakable majesty and power.

Immediately, he looked around and said loudly: "My grievances with the Righteous Qi Hall end here! I hope you don't create unnecessary complications, otherwise, once the grievances arise again, there will be no possibility of resolving them!" His voice echoed in the empty world, as if it were a vow, and as if it were a warning.

The crowd fell into deep silence, and the atmosphere was suffocating. Their eyes showed both shock and helplessness.

No one refuted Ling Xiao's strength, because Ling Xiao's strength was indeed too amazing, so powerful that it was somewhat beyond common sense, as if he were a war god descended from another world. Among them, no one could match him.

After leaving the Righteous Qi Hall, Ling Xiao did not stay any longer and went straight back to the Demon Tower, to the quiet bamboo forest. Every inch of land and every bamboo leaf here seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of time and the mystery of the Demon Tower.

Since he moved into this bamboo forest, Chong Tian returned to his residence. This place was originally the residence of Chong Tian's master. Chong Tian stayed here more to look after the house and guard this pure land of the soul for his master.

However, as soon as Ling Xiao stepped into the bamboo forest, a strange chill quietly struck. Then, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of him.

This man was tall, with a cold face covered with strange tattoos. Those patterns seemed to be alive, wriggling on his face, giving people a terrifying feeling like a demon. The man's eyes were like cold stars in the abyss, flashing with a palpitating light, staring at Ling Xiao.

The man slowly looked Ling Xiao up and down, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, his voice as cold as ice: "You are Ling Xiao, who has just entered my Demon Tower and caused a stir?" His tone was full of doubt and challenge, as if he wanted to see through everything about Ling Xiao and then trample it under his feet.

Ling Xiao nodded lightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and then he asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" His voice was calm and steady, revealing an unyielding temperament.

Hearing this, the man's mouth curled into an arrogant smile, his voice carrying a hint of pride: "I am the Fire Demon, one of the thirteen demons of the Demon Tower, specializing in the way of fire, using fire as martial arts, burning everything!"

Fire Demon! This name was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Ling Xiao's mind. He was slightly stunned, then quickly came back to his senses, a look of respect appeared on his face: "I have long admired your name! It is my honor to see your true face today."

The Fire Demon nodded with satisfaction, a playful light flashing in his eyes, seemingly quite satisfied with Ling Xiao's reaction. He asked with great interest: "I heard that you showed great power in the Righteous Qi Hall and killed two people? Is this true?"

Ling Xiao was about to explain, but the Fire Demon suddenly interrupted him: "No need to say more, well done! Those hypocrites in the Righteous Qi Hall are all hypocritical, but in fact, they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes, they all deserve to die! You are acting on behalf of heaven, and my Fire Demon naturally supports you!"

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, all in one look!

Ling Xiao touched his nose, the corner of his mouth curled into a wry smile. It is said that demon cultivators are domineering and casual, and act in an unconventional manner. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved. The Fire Demon's words, although vulgar, revealed a kind of straightforwardness and sincerity, which made Ling Xiao feel a little fond of him.

The Fire Demon changed the subject and said again: "Ling Xiao, are you interested in exploring a secret realm with me? It is said that there are countless treasures and opportunities hidden there, which are of great benefit to improving strength."

"What secret realm?" Hearing this, a trace of doubt and curiosity flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He knew that secret realms often hid countless adventures and dangers. For warriors, it was both a challenge and an opportunity. If he could take this opportunity to improve his strength, he would naturally not miss it.

The Fire Demon's eyes flashed with an alluring light, and he continued:

"Demon Sea, that is really a magical place, for demon cultivators and demon cultivators, it is simply a paradise. There, not only can you easily obtain a large number of beast cores, these beast cores contain powerful energy, which has an inestimable effect on improving cultivation.

Moreover, occasionally you can be lucky enough to discover the secret treasures left by ancient warriors. These secret treasures often contain lost martial arts or powerful magic weapons. Once obtained, it is enough to make one's strength advance by leaps and bounds."
