The Fourth Master smiled slightly and waved his hand: "His identity is actually not special, but he has been accepted as a close disciple by a highly respected senior of our Tianxiahui."
"If there is anything wrong with him today, I can't explain it to that senior. Furthermore, he is only seventeen years old, and the youngest among you is more than twenty years older than him. You are all in the world.
Senior, don’t you think it’s inappropriate to besiege a junior like this?”
As the Fourth Master's words fell, the surrounding atmosphere became a little subtle. Everyone understood that the Fourth Master's words not only revealed Ling Xiao's identity, but also hinted that their behavior in besieging Ling Xiao was indeed inappropriate.
.
"It's not impossible not to kill him, but there is one condition." The old crow suddenly changed his tone, with a greedy light in his eyes, and he said slowly: "As long as he hands over the storage ring on his body, I will leave here immediately.
, I will no longer pursue today’s matter.”
There was an unquestionable determination in his voice, as if he could give up as long as Ling Xiao handed over the storage ring.
However, his true intention is not that simple. Although the old crow talks about revenge, in his heart he is actually coveting the treasure on Ling Xiao.
In his opinion, for a warrior who is only at the third level of the Endless Realm to be able to defeat a strong man at the fourth level of the Hunyuan Realm, there must be some unknown secret, perhaps some powerful treasure.
"The treasure you carry must be something extraordinary." The old crow secretly guessed in his heart, his eyes shining with desire.
The fourth commander frowned slightly when he heard this. He looked at the other four people and asked, "What do you think?"
The young man in blue robe and another strong man looked at each other, with indifference and determination in their eyes. The two of them obviously had different ideas from the old crow. For them, Ling Xiao's life and death was far more important than a storage ring.
Much more.
"The two of us are not interested in the treasures he carries." The young man in blue robe said coldly, his voice full of disdain and contempt.
"We just want him to die! Si Zhang Yuan, if you are wise, you'd better not get involved in this matter. Otherwise, if this person causes the Holy Church to target the Tianxiahui, you should be able to imagine the consequences."
There was a threatening tone in his words, as if he was warning the Fourth Master that if he intervened in this matter without the sense of humor, the World Association would face a huge crisis.
When the Fourth Master heard this, his expression changed slightly. He knew very well the strength and methods of the Holy Church. If Ling Xiao really attracted the attention of the Holy Church, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Tianxiahui.
However, he also knew the importance of Ling Xiao to the Tianxiahui. Not only was he a disciple of the Upper House, but he was also accepted as a closed disciple by a senior. If he died here, the Tianxiahui would also face huge losses.
The Fourth Master fell into deep thought, and he needed to make a difficult choice between the two.
He stood there with a complex look on his face.
He secretly complained in his heart, if he had known that today's situation would happen, he might not have shown up so easily. If he had not shown up, if something unexpected happened to Ling Xiao, he would at least have some reasons to shirk responsibility.
But now, he is already standing here. If he does nothing and allows Ling Xiao to be besieged, the consequences will be disastrous.
He knew that the powerful being in the cemetery paid special attention to Ling Xiao. Once Ling Xiao died, that powerful person would definitely pursue the matter to the end. And as an important person present, if he failed to stop this
I'm afraid it's hard to escape the blame for this tragedy.
However, the strong men of the Holy Church in front of him made him feel extremely troublesome. The power of the Holy Church in the Southern Territory was huge. Although their Tianxiahui was the second in the Southern Territory, the gap between them and the Holy Church was huge.
He knew very well that if he really became an enemy of the Holy Church, the whole world would face disaster.
He recalled the contrast in strength between Tianxiahui and the Holy Church, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Although their Tianxiahui has a certain status in the Southern Territory, compared with the Holy Church, they are like a worm trying to shake a tree, not knowing what they can do. The strength gap represented by that number is really terrifying.
The number one in the temple is ten thousand times more powerful than their number two.
He knew in his heart that it would be easy for the Holy Church to destroy the Tianxiahui. If there was no fundamental conflict of interest between the two, how could the Tianxiahui exist safely in the Southern Territory.
But now, he is caught in the middle, in a dilemma.
"Four Palms Courtyard, don't be fooled by this kid's sweet words." The old man from the Zhang family suddenly increased his tone and frowned, as if he was full of doubts about Ling Xiao's words.
"In this world, some people always like to play bluffing tricks and deliberately exaggerate to scare those who are stronger than them. My Zhang family has been in the Southern Territory for hundreds of years, and I have seen such tricks many times. What you said
There is a powerful person protecting you in the cemetery, but it’s just the one time you’ve seen it with your own eyes, right?”
The Fourth Master was slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Indeed, I have only seen him once."
Seeing this, the old man of the Zhang family raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and continued: "That's right. This kid may have some unknown treasure hidden in him, and he can create a powerful illusion with the help of the evil spirit in the cemetery.
, to confuse us. Do you think the strength he shows in front of you is all he has? No, that is just his cover-up."
His words were full of contempt and disdain for Ling Xiao, as if he already regarded Ling Xiao as a cunning junior who was good at deceit.
He continued: "I advise you not to interfere in today's matter. Although you are the fourth leader of the Tianxiahui, you should also be aware of the gap between the Tianxiahui, our Zhang family, and the Holy Church.
If you insist on protecting this kid, I'm afraid you will get burned."
He paused and then added: "Besides, you can't control it. Even if the old crow doesn't take action, it will be easy for the four of us to join forces to kill this kid. If you are sensible, just step aside and let us
Let’s deal with this.”
The Zhang family elder's words were full of threats and provocations, as if he had already taken Ling Xiao's life and death into his own hands.
The Fourth Master was lost in thought. He understood what the old man of the Zhang family meant, but he also knew what he would lose if he gave up Ling Xiao like this. He was hesitant in his heart, not knowing what to do.
"Four Palms Courtyard, please come back." Ling Xiao suddenly spoke under the gaze of everyone. Although his voice was calm, there was a hint of determination.
He raised his head, looked directly at the fourth commander, and continued: "Today's disaster is my personal fate, Ling Xiao, and has nothing to do with Tianxiahui. You have tried your best, and I can't thank you enough. You don't have to do it for me.
This newcomer, who had just joined the Tianxiahui, became enemies with everyone." ()
