At this moment, these ancient and powerful defense mechanisms seemed to be activated, emitting a faint fluorescence, isolating the terrifying aura, making it impossible to penetrate at all.
Therefore, although they in the secret vault could vaguely feel the suffocating pressure from the outside world, the uneasiness did not really come.
They know that this secret vault is not only the hiding place of family treasures, but also their most solid safe haven at the moment. That aura, no matter how powerful and crazy it is, will never be able to touch this protected pure land, let alone
Found them hiding here.
"Boss," Jin Yan's voice was low and urgent, with sparks of nervousness and worry flashing in his eyes, "It seems that the movement outside is most likely the reinforcements invited by the Jiang family to deal with us, and more likely
Those well-known masters of the Ji family. We are now in a dangerous situation, so we must carefully consider our next move."
His tone revealed a deep fear of the unknown, but more importantly, his dependence and trust on Ling Xiao.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then an indifferent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was both contempt for the challenge and concern for the safety of his companions.
"A strong person from the Ji family?" He whispered to himself, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "It doesn't matter, you guys stay put for the time being, preserving your strength is the most important thing. In this muddy water, I will first explore the depth. If it is
If I can deal with them, it's naturally the best; if I'm defeated, with my ability, it's not difficult to escape intact, so you don't need to worry too much."
When Jin Yan heard this, the stone in his heart seemed to have fallen halfway. He knew Ling Xiao's strength and wisdom, and he was full of confidence in Ling Xiao's escape skills that almost no one could match.
He nodded solemnly, his eyes full of determination and trust: "Boss, just go ahead with peace of mind! We are waiting for your good news here. Don't say that the Ji family only sent strong men from the Tongtian realm, even if they really
We have dispatched top experts from the Tianhe Realm, and with your ability, it will be easy to escape."
Speaking of this, Jin Yan couldn't help but feel a hint of pride and pride in his tone. He seemed to have seen Ling Xiao moving freely among the enemies and resolving the crisis with ease.
…
In the Jiang family hall, the atmosphere is dignified and solemn, and every wisp of air seems to carry the weight of family history. The sunlight shines mottled on the ground through the carved window lattice, but it cannot dispel the tension caused by the unknown visitor.
.
In this silence, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky, and a stream of light cut through the sky, carrying an unparalleled power, and finally landed steadily in the center of the hall.
He was a gray-haired old man. The traces of time had carved deep ravines on his face, but his eyes were as bright as cold stars, revealing the wisdom and depth that had gone through vicissitudes of life. He was dressed in plain clothes.
She is wearing a long-colored robe and fluttering skirts, as if she were an immortal walking from the clouds.
Behind the old man, following closely behind were two burly and imposing men in golden armor. Their steps were in unison, and their movements showed a high degree of tacit understanding and well-trained training.
The masks covered their faces, leaving only a pair of cold eyes. Through the narrow gap, they seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Needless to say, just from this aura, you can tell that these three people are all deeply cultivated.
A master of the Tongtian Realm whose strength should not be underestimated.
Jiang Lianheng stood aside and stared at Ji Hong, the elder of the Ji family, with complex eyes. He had mixed feelings in his heart, including awe of the strength of the Ji family, but also uneasiness and dissatisfaction with Ling Xiao going to the secret treasury alone.
.
After all, that secret library was the secret place that his father valued most during his lifetime. Even his biological son had never known its exact location, but now Ling Xiao had taken the lead. How could he not feel aggrieved and helpless?
"How are you, Elder Ji Hong?" Jiang Lianheng finally couldn't control his inner emotions and asked. Although his voice tried to remain calm, the slight tremor still revealed the turmoil in his heart.
He looked at Ji Hong eagerly, hoping to get some comfort or answers from the elder of the Ji family, which would at least give him a clearer understanding of the current situation.
When Ji Hong heard this, he glanced sideways slightly and glanced deeply at Jiang Lianheng, seeming to see through the struggle and doubts in his heart.
However, in the face of Jiang Lianheng's inquiry, Ji Hong did not give an immediate answer, but fell into deep thought. His brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were deep, as if he was carefully considering every word deep in his heart.
weight.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became more depressing, and even the air seemed to become heavier.
Finally, after some careful consideration, Ji Hong spoke slowly. His voice was low and magnetic. Every word seemed to have been carefully selected and struck directly into Jiang Lianheng's heart with unquestionable power.
Every word he spoke seemed to turn into an invisible heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Lianheng's heart again and again, making him feel shocked involuntarily.
"The exquisite design of your Jiang family's secret treasury is indeed beyond my expectation. Even with my cultivation, I cannot easily find its entrance." Ji Hong's words contained some admiration, but more importantly
Most of it is an affirmation of the defensive capabilities of the Jiang family's secret library.
He knows very well that such a secret vault cannot be built by ordinary people, and there must be someone with expert guidance behind it.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Hong changed the topic and revealed an unquestionable determination in his tone: "But you don't have to worry too much. Now the warriors of my Ji family have been closely cooperating with the warriors of your Jiang family.
Many ambushes were laid at key points."
"As long as that kid dares to show up in the Jiang family, no matter where he escapes, he will be caught in a dragnet that will make it impossible for him to fly and he will definitely die."
After hearing Ji Hong's words, although Jiang Lianheng still felt dissatisfied and unwilling, he did not dare to show it easily. He was well aware of the strength and means of the Ji family, and he was even more aware of his current situation.
Therefore, he could only suppress the emotions in his heart, forced out a smile, and expressed his gratitude to Ji Hong: "This arrangement is really troublesome for Elder Ji Hong. On behalf of the Jiang family, I would like to express my great help to you and the Ji family.
My sincerest gratitude.”
When Jiang Lianheng said these words, every movement and every expression of Jiang Lianheng looked so respectful, as if he was expressing the highest respect to a distinguished guest. However, behind this respect, there was
Hiding his complicated inner world and deep worries about the future.
Ji Hong's eyes slowly swept around, and every sight seemed to contain deep emotions and firm determination. A gentle yet powerful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly:
"My Ji family and Jiang family have been close friends who share weal and woe since ancient times. This friendship has spanned countless years of baptism and has become increasingly precious and profound."
