#13655 - The Secret in the Painting

Precisely for this reason, staying within this Star Plucking Tower City is actually safer. As the saying goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place," he reckoned that the Demon Tower and the others wouldn't expect him to remain in the city.

After a careful search, Ling Xiao finally found a suitable place in the city. It was relatively close to the Righteous Qi Hall. Although the Righteous Qi Hall had a bad reputation as lackeys of the Holy Hall, this was precisely why he chose this location.

Firstly, its proximity to the Righteous Qi Hall might create the illusion that he wouldn't dare approach; secondly, he was still concerned about Ling Bi, Xiao Lianzhu, and the others. The people of the Righteous Qi Hall were known to be ruthless and unscrupulous, and no one could guarantee they wouldn't harm Ling Bi and the others.

Therefore, staying here allowed him to hide while keeping a close watch on the safety of Ling Bi and the others.

Having chosen a location, Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless. He took out some precious materials and began setting up a concealment array. His hands flew, like dancing butterflies, as profound hand seals emerged from his fingertips, merging into the surrounding environment.

Each movement, each rune, contained his profound skill and exquisite technique.

Before long, a complex and hidden concealment array was completed. Under the array's shroud, his previously concealed aura became even harder to detect. Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction before confidently revealing himself.

Next, he began to sort through the treasures he had risked his life to obtain. When he laid out those treasures and unique skills before him, his eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Those glittering treasures emitted strange lights, each one priceless and containing immense energy. The unique skill manuals were the culmination of the wisdom and effort of predecessors, and learning them would undoubtedly elevate his strength to a higher level.

But what pleased him most was a secondary avatar of the Demon Spirit King. Although it was only a secondary avatar, it possessed powerful strength and a mysterious aura. As long as he collected enough secondary avatars, he could perfectly summon the Demon Spirit Sect.

Once successful, he could obtain the Demon Spirit King's true teachings, which would be a crucial step in advancing his strength.

Thinking of this, a blazing fighting spirit ignited in Ling Xiao's heart. He secretly vowed to find the last secondary avatar as soon as possible and begin his own path to power.

"Huh? There seems to be something else in this painting." Ling Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of doubt and exploration, his face full of surprise, muttering to himself unconsciously.

His gaze was fixed on the ancient painting before him, as if endless mysteries and secrets were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary scroll.

Ling Xiao was stunned. The moment he focused on seizing that secondary avatar, an indescribable strange feeling surged into his heart. His keen perception clearly sensed that there were actually two auras hidden in this painting, both powerful and full of spiritual energy.

That aura was like an ancient sleeping beast, just awakening from a long dormancy. Although it did not show any substantial threat, it inspired awe.

It was like a sword energy and a saber energy! These two auras were like a sharp sword and a sharp saber, faintly emitting a cold light in the darkness.

The sword energy was fierce, revealing an indomitable and unstoppable momentum, as if it could cut through all obstacles in the world. The saber energy was majestic, carrying a vast and heavy, indestructible power, as if it could split mountains and land in half.

"This was actually left behind by the Black Wind Double Fiends." In the Demon Needle Space, the Demon Spirit King's deep and slightly沧桑 voice suddenly came, like it originated from the depths of distant time and space, carrying a mysterious and unpredictable meaning.

"Oh? The former great power of the Demon Sect, known as the Black Wind Double Fiends, also known as the Saber-Sword Double Fiends?" A flash of surprise appeared in Ling Xiao's eyes, and his voice unconsciously carried a hint of disbelief.

He knew little about these two powerhouses, having only seen their lifelike statues. The statues were magnificent, and every line seemed to contain the momentum of the two powerhouses dominating the world, making him yearn for them.

However, so much time had passed, yet he had never had the honor of seeing the real persons of these two powerhouses, or even their avatars.

According to the Demon Spirit King, after the Demon Spirit Sect, the Double Fiends Sect might appear in the Demon Needle Space.

This made the Black Wind Double Fiends' reputation even more mysterious and lofty in Ling Xiao's heart. At this moment, learning that the painting actually contained the sword energy and saber energy they left behind, his heart could not help but set off a storm.

"However, what's the use of just a sword energy and a saber energy?" Ling Xiao frowned, his eyes full of doubt, subconsciously scratching his head, his tone with a bit of incomprehension. In his opinion, how much power can only two unsubstantial auras exert?

"Fool, ah, fool, usually see you quite shrewd, how come you are stupid at the critical moment." The Demon Spirit King sighed helplessly, his voice full of disappointment.

Then, he patiently explained: "That's the sword energy and saber energy left by the Black Wind Double Fiends' true bodies, do you know what that means? You only need to calm down and use your heart to feel this sword energy and saber energy, then you can draw from them their lifelong essence of sword and saber arts, thus benefiting greatly.

Maybe, you can also comprehend their unique and terrifying stunts from this, and greatly improve your sword intent and saber intent. At that time, your strength will inevitably have a qualitative leap."

Unquestionably, without a single error, first, one, hair, one, inside, one, capacity, one, in, one, to, look!

"Not only that, at a critical moment, releasing any one of these sword energy and saber energy can be invincible. The small Star Plucking Tower, even the Great Town Dynasty, is invincible. In front of these two, those so-called masters and powerhouses are nothing more than vulnerable ants."

The Demon Spirit King's words were full of confidence and certainty.

In the dim and quiet cave, the lingering mist was erratic like ghosts, and the flickering dim light was like the gaze from another world, staring at Ling Xiao.

At this time, Ling Xiao trembled slightly, his face full of horror, he truly realized the horror of those two things from the depths of his soul.

The malice and murderous aura emitted by those two things, like ferocious beasts that choose people to devour, constantly impacted his psychological defenses, making his mind full of their terrifying and distorted appearance, as if they would completely devour him in the next second.

However, even though his heart was full of panic and unease, Ling Xiao still endured the fear in his heart, frowned slightly, and his bright eyes showed a bit of perseverance and doubt. He looked at the Demon Spirit King, who was tall and exuded a terrifying aura like a monster from the abyss. (End of this chapter)
