When Emperor Huangzhu heard this, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but more of it was fear of the powerful force that might exist behind Ling Xiao.
She sneered, with a hint of chill in her voice: "You think I am a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive? If you don't have someone to rely on, how dare you be so arrogant and domineering in the imperial palace? Who is the person behind you?
who?"
When Ling Xiao heard this, his smile became even wider. He shook his head slightly, with a cunning light in his eyes: "Master Palace Master, your imagination is too rich. I, Ling Xiao, always act based on my heart.
I have never been attached to anyone. As for the so-called 'people behind' you mentioned, they are just some misunderstandings and exaggerated rumors about me from the outside world."
"Really, stop guessing. My good sister, there is really nothing behind me. The guidance of experts and the protection of strong people are all just rumors from outside. Just listen to it."
There was a bit of cunning hidden in Ling Xiao's smile, and he deliberately kept his tone casual, as if he was really just telling an innocuous joke.
"As for the 'Demon Soul King' I just mentioned casually, hey, that was purely improvised by me to tease you. Look, I'm standing here properly, not even a shadow. If you
If you don’t believe it, then come and hit me! Try to see if there is anyone to protect me?”
As he spoke, he deliberately took a step forward, as if he was inviting Di Huang Zhu to a battle without any suspense. However, it was this seemingly careless provocation that made Di Huang Zhu feel uncomfortable in his heart.
His fears grew like weeds.
She stared at Ling Xiao closely, with a complicated light shining in her beautiful eyes. There was both fear of the unknown and deep doubts about the power that might be hidden behind Ling Xiao.
Emperor Huangzhu knew that once she took action, she might touch the edge of an unpredictable danger. She could feel that the terrifying aura permeating the air, although it seemed to come from Ling Xiao, was actually more like someone
A more ancient and powerful force is peeping in the dark.
She couldn't help but guess that if this was really Ling Xiao's trump card, then the "Demon Soul King" behind him might really exist and be powerful enough to make the entire imperial palace tremble.
Therefore, although she was filled with rage and wanted to cut Ling Xiao into pieces immediately, her reason told her that forbearance at this moment was the wisest choice.
Of course, if Emperor Huangzhu is really desperate and decides to take action, then the legendary existence of the Demon Soul King hiding in the dark will intervene with undoubted power and reverse the situation instantly.
This is not only a protection for Ling Xiao, but also an invisible warning to Dihuang Zhu, reminding her not to touch certain taboo bottom lines easily.
Ling Xiao secretly smiled in his heart, but maintained a calm look on his face. He knew that using this mysterious and terrifying aura as a deterrent had already made Emperor Huangzhu fearful, which had achieved the desired effect.
Looking at Di Huangzhu's eyes flashing with uncertainty, he knew that she had begun to guess his trump card.
"Perhaps behind you is not the legendary Demon Soul King. That feared taboo existence has long since sunk into the abyss of history with the passage of time, leaving no trace to be found." Di Huangzhu's voice carried a hint of emotion.
A bit uncertain, but more of a test and guess.
"However, I firmly believe that there must be an expert behind you to help... Let me think about it carefully. Although the power of the Empress Palace is powerful, it does not match your style of behavior. The Holy Church also has enmity with you, and it is impossible to help you. So.
...could it be that...the power behind you is actually the legendary Fu Zunfu?!"
Her words exploded in the air like thunder. Emperor Huangzhu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, as if he had discovered some shocking secret. Her body trembled slightly, obviously she was extremely shocked by this speculation.
Fu Zun Mansion, this name exists like a god in the Demon Suppressing Mansion. It is not only a symbol of power, but also synonymous with mystery. In the entire Demon Suppressing Mansion, only Fu Zun Mansion can compete with the Holy Church. Its power and mystery are
Let everyone be in awe.
When Ling Xiao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he murmured in his heart: "This girl's brain is really stupid, she can actually guess the mansion." On the surface, he remained calm, and just smiled lightly,
It seems like everything is under control.
Speaking of which, Ling Xiao seems to have a solid backer in the deep and complex power network of Fu Zun Mansion, and that is his brother Long Chen who is sympathetic to him.
Long Chen, this name is like thunder in the Fu Zun Mansion. He is not only a symbol of strength, but also the embodiment of wisdom and courage.
According to legend, he can easily crush masters like Ji Haisheng with his own strength. His power is so powerful that even when facing a strong man like Emperor Huangzhu, the master of the Imperial Palace, he only needs a light palm to defeat him.
It can decide his life or death.
Faced with Dihuangzhu's doubts and speculations, Ling Xiao waved his hand gently, with a calm but graceful smile on his face, as if to comfort an overly nervous child:
"Master of Emperor Huangzhu Palace, you are really worrying too much. I, Ling Xiao, am just a lowly person. How can I have any prominent backers?
Not to mention the lofty Fuzun Mansion. I know very little about it. It can even be said that before I met you, I had never even heard of the name Fuzun Mansion. How could I have anything to do with it? Please don’t
I was misled by the rumors outside."
However, Ling Xiao's sincere explanation sounded more like a cover-up to Di Huangzhu.
She stared closely at Ling Xiao's eyes, trying to catch a trace of panic or uneasiness, but unfortunately, all she saw was calmness and confidence. This only made Dihuang Zhu even more convinced that there must be a Fu Zunfu behind Ling Xiao.
Such a behemoth serves as support.
"You lied!" Di Huangzhu's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness, and a clear logical chain had been formed in her mind:
The destruction of the Ji family, the tragic death of the head of the Huang family, and the disappearance of Huang Xiangu, all these seemingly unrelated events actually point to a common mastermind behind the scenes - Fu Zunfu. And Ling Xiao, it is this mastermind who reaches out to the town.
One of the "hands" of the Demon Mansion.
Thinking of this, Dihuangzhu couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She realized that she might be in a huge conspiracy, and the mastermind of this conspiracy was the mysterious and powerful Fu Zunfu.
.
She couldn't help but sigh: "The methods of this government are really ruthless and decisive. In order to cover up the truth, they would not hesitate to kill people and silence them. Such behavior is really chilling and terrifying!"
"Look at you, I have repeatedly reiterated that I have nothing to do with Fu Zunfu, but you are still stubborn and refuse to believe it..." Ling Xiao sighed softly and shook his head, with an expression that was both helpless and a bit self-deprecating.
