Ling Xiao slowly stretched out his hand and held the storage ring handed over by Jiu Lao tightly in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Jiu Lao firmly: "I will keep this thing for you until the matter is over.
, I will return it to you intact. Shangguan Yu is just a clown. Since he dares to provoke you, I will completely eliminate him for you."
Jiu Lao looked at Ling Xiao's eyes full of confidence and determination and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He shook his head and said: "Do you know what I dislike most about you? It's your stinky attitude. Young people, it's a good thing to have confidence, but you can't be arrogant. Things like luck can really help you sometimes.
Once or twice, but I can't always look after you. You should still be more low-key and practical, so that you can go further."
"It seems that you are not particularly satisfied with me, senior?" Ling Xiao teased with a cynical smile, but his eyes revealed firm confidence.
The old man nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He spoke slowly: "In my opinion, you may not be the most perfect person to inherit my legacy, but you are the most suitable, even the only one. Over the years, I have seen countless young talents, but
You are the only one who can really take my heart to heart."
"You have tenacity and perseverance that others don't have. This is the key to inheriting the path I pursue. However, you must also understand that no one is perfect and everyone has their shortcomings. Although I can give you some
Suggestions, but you still need to explore for yourself how to take the future."
The wine elder let out a long sigh, as if he was lamenting the vicissitudes of time and the twists and turns of life. He took a deep look at Ling Xiao, as if he wanted to place all his expectations on this young junior.
Ling Xiao stood up, straightened his clothes, and showed a relaxed smile on his face: "Senior, please stop talking. I have a few minor troubles that I need to deal with."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiu was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly changed: "Wait a minute! Ling Xiao, do you know that the person coming is Shangguan Yu! She is back! If you go out now, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap? Her strength
Far above you, you are no match for her!"
Ling Xiao raised his brows, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Shangguanyu? Humph, she's just a clown. If she dares to come, I will have my own way to deal with it. Senior, please rest assured, I will go and meet her right away."
"Why are you so stubborn, Ling Xiao!" Jiu Lao's voice was full of anxiety and helplessness, "You don't understand her strength at all. If you go out like this, you will undoubtedly die in vain!" He widened his eyes and tried to
Stop Ling Xiao with words.
Ling Xiao just smiled slightly, with a calm and unhurried confidence in his eyes: "Senior, there is a first time for everything. How can I know that I am not her opponent without actually fighting against her? If the battle only depends on the realm.
If so, then I’m afraid there won’t be any suspense in this world.”
There was an unyielding tenacity in his words that was impossible to ignore.
"You..." Mr. Jiu was choked by Ling Xiao's words and couldn't speak. He struggled to get up, "No, this is my matter. I should solve it myself. I can't let you take risks."
However, Ling Xiao just glanced at him indifferently, and his tone was full of unquestionable firmness: "Senior, in your current state, you may not even be able to protect yourself. If you go out, not only will you not be able to help, but you will become a
My burden."
When Jiu Lao heard this, his face froze. He knew that his current physical condition was indeed not good, but the worry about Ling Xiao in his heart made him unable to rest assured. However, Ling Xiao's next words made him unable to refute: "Senior
, you can have a good rest here. I will be careful, trust me."
After saying that, Ling Xiao disappeared in a flash. The escape technique he performed was so fast that even Jiu Lao widened his eyes and marveled. At this moment, Jiu Lao suddenly realized
I realized that I might have really underestimated this young Ling Xiao.
He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable expectation in his heart, hoping that Ling Xiao could return safely, and even more hope that he could show his true strength in this battle.
Ling Xiao's figure was like a ghost, suddenly appearing from nothingness, standing firmly on the ruins. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning the group of people in front of him.
This group of people is headed by a woman with a cool temperament, who is the leader in the Empress' Palace - Shangguan Yu. And behind her, six strong men stand neatly, each of them has a powerful aura.
And profound, both of them are at the peak of the Hunyuan Realm, and the pressure they exude is heart-stopping.
Shangguan Yu's eyes stayed on Ling Xiao for a moment, and then he showed a hint of surprise: "It's you? I really didn't expect that you dared to show up here. I thought you were afraid and were hiding in the Tianxiahui.
I don't dare to come out and face the pursuit of my Empress Palace." Her tone was full of contempt and disdain, and she obviously didn't take Ling Xiao seriously.
However, Ling Xiao just smiled slightly. He put his hands behind his back and stood on a huge rock in the ruins. He let the wind blow his clothes and made a huffing sound. His figure was upright, as if he was an unshakable tower.
The mountain peaks give people a feeling of indestructibility.
"Why don't you dare?" Ling Xiao's voice was calm and firm. He raised his head and looked directly into Shangguan Yu's eyes, "Am I still afraid of a dog from the Empress Palace?" His tone was full of disdain and provocation,
It was as if Shangguan Yu and the strong men behind her were not taken seriously at all.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yu's face suddenly darkened. As a leader in the Empress Palace, when had she ever been humiliated like this? The strong men behind her also had angry expressions on their faces, and they were all gearing up, as if they were ready to take action at any time.
"Haha, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." Shangguan Yu sneered, her eyes swept over Ling Xiao, as if she wanted to see through him, "Do you really think you can deal with so many of us with your own strength?
" Her tone was full of sarcasm and contempt, and she obviously thought that Ling Xiao was seeking his own death.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, his eyes shining with confidence, and he responded calmly: "Is it possible that I am actually much better at fighting than you think, but you have never really seen it?"
When Shangguan Yu heard this, the corner of her mouth curled up with a hint of ridicule, and she laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, do you think you can make us, battle-hardened warriors, fearful with just a few empty words? Don't talk about me like this.
Even if you are at the martial spirit realm, even if you are the six peak Hunyuan realm experts behind me, how can you deal with them one by one?"
Her laughter echoed across the ruins, full of disdain and contempt for Ling Xiao.
