#13636 - Want to hand me over?

Ling Xiao's heart felt like two little men were fiercely fighting. On one side was endless worry and reluctance for his friends and family, and on the other was the cruel reality.

In the end, he nodded slowly, knowing that this might be the most likely scenario at the moment. His disappearance, or death, would be most beneficial to the Righteous Path Hall. They wouldn't do anything foolish to harm his loved ones at this time.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao immediately made up his mind. He knew that the Demon Sea was a place full of danger and opportunity. Although there was no protection there, its very chaos could become his temporary haven.

In his heart, he silently planned that once he arrived at the Demon Sea, he would first find a hidden place to conceal his aura to avoid being easily discovered.

He also had to be careful of the various dangerous creatures there and find some reliable sources of information to keep abreast of the Righteous Path Hall's movements. He couldn't let his guard down, and he had to use the chaos of the Demon Sea to protect himself and wait for the right opportunity.

At this moment, Chong Tian hurried over. His face was full of anger and helplessness, as if he was under great pressure and pain.

He came to Ling Xiao, glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Let's go. When our master comes back, you won't have to be afraid anymore.

Master has always been fair and will definitely protect you. But not now. Our Sect Leader is now determined to attack you. I just received news that the Sect Leader has arranged a lot of people nearby who may attack you at any time."

Chong Tian's words were like the last straw, completely strengthening Ling Xiao's determination to leave. He took a deep look at Chong Ruo and Chong Tian, his eyes flashing with gratitude and reluctance.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, the action free and easy, as if he had only done a trivial thing. In his heart, there was nothing worth staying here anymore. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and continue his journey.

He raised his hand casually, and in an instant, the luggage scattered on the ground seemed to be pulled by an invisible, magical force, slowly floating up, and then neatly and orderly flew towards the storage ring on his finger, and soon all of them were put into it.

After doing all this, Ling Xiao swayed and was about to leave the bamboo forest.

At this time, Ling Xiao was still planning his next itinerary. He knew that his journey in this world was full of unknowns and dangers, but he was not afraid, but full of expectations.

He felt that only by constantly moving forward could he continue to become stronger and explore more unknown secrets.

However, at this critical moment, a sudden, overwhelming terrifying aura surged. This aura spread rapidly like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire bamboo forest in an atmosphere of monstrous demonic intent.

The aura was so powerful that it was suffocating, as if even the air had solidified. The surrounding bamboos also seemed to feel this terrifying power. The bamboo leaves, which were originally swaying gently in the breeze, were now as if they had been fixed and stopped moving.

The small animals in the bamboo forest were even more frightened and trembling, and they all found places to hide.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the bamboo forest. It was an old man with white hair and beard, like the first snow in winter, pure and white.

But in stark contrast to this, his face was unusually young, his skin was firm and smooth, and his eyes were deep and distant, giving people an extremely discordant but mysterious feeling.

The appearance of this old man made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn, as if a heavy stone was pressing on everyone's heart.

This person is the current Master of the Demon Tower - Chong Xuan.

The Demon Tower is a formidable presence in this mysterious region. Chong Xuan holds the supreme position in the Demon Tower, wielding absolute power and governing all its affairs.

He is not only incredibly strong but also possesses a meticulous mind, with every decision impacting the Demon Tower's prosperity and reputation.

Chong Tian, his junior brother, has a more straightforward and fiery personality, placing great importance on the Demon Tower's honor. While he holds a high position in the Demon Tower, he often defers to his senior brother Chong Xuan's decisions.

These two brothers each play a vital role in the Demon Tower's development.

Chong Xuan glanced at Ling Xiao indifferently, his eyes filled with scrutiny and majesty. In his eyes, Ling Xiao was like an unknown number full of variables, and he needed to judge Ling Xiao's value and intention through his own observation.

"You may not be able to leave for the time being." His voice was low and powerful, as if every word contained an irresistible force, and the sound echoed in the silent bamboo forest, adding a bit more pressure.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao's mouth curled into a playful smile. His heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. He knew that he was in a tricky situation, but he didn't want the other party to see his nervousness.

He quickly thought about the meaning behind Chong Xuan's words in his heart, and at the same time, he was weighing his response.

"Are you going to hand me over?" he asked softly, his tone revealing a hint of curiosity and provocation. He tried to test Chong Xuan's thoughts in this way, and at the same time, he wanted to not be at a disadvantage in momentum.

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one capacity, one in one look!

Chong Xuan was about to speak, but Chong Tian on the side suddenly couldn't hold back. Chong Tian had always regarded the dignity of the Demon Tower as his life, and he couldn't bear to see the Demon Tower bow its head to anyone.

He widened his eyes, his tone with a bit of dissatisfaction and indignation: "When has my Demon Tower ever bowed its head to anyone? You don't look like a Demon cultivator at all!"

His words were full of dissatisfaction and doubt about his senior brother Chong Xuan's decision. He believed that Demon cultivators should move forward bravely without fear of any threat, instead of seemingly engaging in some kind of transaction with Ling Xiao like now.

Chong Xuan glanced at Chong Tian lightly, a trace of imperceptible helplessness flashed in his eyes. He understood his junior brother's thoughts, but as the Master of the Demon Tower, he needed to consider more factors.

"Junior brother, what those people seek is nothing more than the Black Heaven Sword of the Demon Lord." Mentioning the Black Heaven Sword of the Demon Lord, Chong Xuan's eyes became a little complicated. The Black Heaven Sword of the Demon Lord was a legendary artifact with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Its history can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, the Demon Lord held this sword and set off a bloody storm on this continent, and almost no one could敌敌.

The sword's blade is as black as ink, and the sword is engraved with mysterious runes. Whenever it is wielded, the runes will flash with a cold light, as if it is a call from hell.

Its power is not only reflected in its powerful attack power, but also can release a special magic power that affects the enemy's mind and makes the enemy fall into fear and chaos.

Because of this, this sword has become a treasure that many strong people dream of, and all forces want to take it as their own.
