The Grand Master paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "It is indeed a wise choice to let him leave temporarily to avoid the limelight. If he stays, with his fiery temper, once he conflicts with those enemies
, I’m afraid it will cause an uncontrollable situation.”
"But you must understand that his safety is of the utmost importance. Until we find out the true identity of the spiritual cultivator and find out the details of the other party, Ling Xiao must not make any mistakes."
The Fourth Zhangyuan looked serious, and he knew that the Great Zhangyuan's worries were not groundless. He nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, Great Zhangyuan. I will personally escort Ling Xiao to Luan City, and I will be careful along the way to ensure that he
safety.”
"In addition, I will also send people to secretly observe the movements outside the Tianxia Association. If there is any abnormality, I will report it to you immediately."
"As you command!"
Si Zhangyuan nodded, then turned and left.
…
Ling Xiao stood outside the gate of the Tianxiahui headquarters, with a penetrating gaze, as if he could penetrate the thick stone door and peer into the world behind it.
His figure stretched very long in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking lonely and determined. This time, he chose to go alone, without bringing Autumn Sunflowers with him, and without letting Meng Haoqing, Weiwei and Lingbi follow.
They are currently staying in the Tianxia Huitian Spirit Hall, focusing on practicing and improving their strength.
Ling Xiao knew in his heart that this mission was his own, and he needed to face unknown challenges alone.
However, he is not alone, because he has two reliable partners, Tongtong and Ahli. Tongtong's lively and cute appearance can always bring him laughter, while Ahri's wit and sharpness can make him laugh.
Help when you are in trouble.
He took a deep breath of air and felt the freshness and tranquility brought by the breeze. However, a trace of uneasiness quietly grew in his heart. He had not seen Jin Yan since he came to Tianxiahui.
Jin Yan was his former comrade-in-arms and a very important brother in his heart. He had heard that Jin Yan had joined the Tianxiahui before, but he could not find any trace of Jin Yan in either the Lower House or the Upper House.
This made Ling Xiao feel a little confused and worried.
It stands to reason that his reputation in Tianxiahui is quite high now, and he also caused quite a stir before.
If Jin Yan is really in the Tianxiahui, then he should have heard the news about Ling Xiao and should come to him. However, until now, Ling Xiao has not received any news about Jin Yan.
He frowned slightly and couldn't help but guess. Maybe Jin Yan was practicing in seclusion? After all, in the world of martial arts, practicing in seclusion is an important way to improve his strength. Jin Yan may also choose to pursue a higher realm.
In seclusion alone.
Ling Xiao sighed softly. Although he was worried, there was nothing he could do about it. He knew that everyone had their own way to go and everyone had their own choices. He could only hope that everything would go well for Jin Yan, and that one day
to be able to fight alongside him again.
He turned and left the gate of Tianxiahui headquarters and embarked on a new journey.
A few days later, Ling Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped. He stood in a vast wilderness, surrounded by only endless green grass and a few sparse trees in the distance.
This place is hundreds of miles away from Tianxia City where he is. If he wants to return, it will not only be a long journey, but also a waste of time and energy.
However, it was in such a peaceful place that he encountered an unexpected trouble. He clearly felt that there was a pair of eyes always watching him secretly, like an invisible sword hanging above his head.
This feeling made Ling Xiao feel alert, and a chill gathered between his brows unconsciously.
"Come out!" Ling Xiao finally couldn't help it. He looked in a certain direction, his voice full of cold determination. He was full of doubts in his heart, why would someone be following him behind him all the way from the bustling world?
Follow this.
Moreover, he could feel that the man's body exuded a strong murderous intention. The further away from the world, the stronger the murderous intention became, as if it was going to devour him.
A moment later, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, rustling the surrounding vegetation. Then, a figure slowly walked out of the dense forest.
It was an old man in a red robe, and his hair was also fiery red, like a burning flame. His face was vicissitudes of life and majesty, and there was an extremely powerful aura all over his body, like a towering mountain, which no one could ignore.
"I didn't expect that you could actually find me!" The old man in red robe looked at Ling Xiao, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
His voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the ancient abyss. His words were full of admiration for Ling Xiao, but more of them were expectations and desires for the next battle.
Ling Xiao stared closely at the old man in red robe in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
"Ling Xiao, do you really think you can get away with it like this?" Ling Xiao was interrupted by a sudden voice. He turned around and saw an old man in red robe staring at him coldly.
There was a deep chill in his eyes, as if it was about to swallow him whole.
Ling Xiao frowned. He felt the strong murderous aura emanating from the old man, and he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
He asked in a deep voice: "Can you tell me why you are staring at me so closely? And your aura is so terrifying, as if you are afraid that I will not know that you have murderous intentions."
The red-robed old man sneered, with endless anger and resentment in his voice: "Since you asked, I will let you know clearly. The Zhang Luan you killed was my only grandson!"
"Oh, I see!"
When the other party said this, Ling Xiao immediately understood.
This is to avenge Zhang Luan. Zhang Luan wanted to kill him before, but he killed him instead. He really deserved it.
Although the world will not pursue this matter, Zhang Luan's family will definitely not let it go.
"Aren't you going to explain it?" The old man in red robe had a serious look in his eyes, and his tone was full of questioning.
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, but he had already made up his mind. He knew that the explanation at this moment was in vain. Since the other party had already identified himself as the murderer, any explanation would be pale and feeble.
What's more, he never thought about explaining anything, because he believed that everything he did was out of justice and self-preservation.
"Explanation..." Ling Xiao softly spat out these two words, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly moved.
His figure flashed, and the bloodthirsty knife in his hand cut through the void like lightning. The huge bloody knife light condensed instantly, as gorgeous and terrifying as the sunset on the horizon.
The bloody sword light shrouded the head of the red-robed old man, as if it was going to swallow him whole. At this moment, there was no hesitation or pity in Ling Xiao's eyes, only firm killing intent and determination.
