Although the old man's words were brief, they were like spring breeze and rain, nourishing the middle-aged man's heart.
He understood that although he failed, this failure was not meaningless. It allowed him to see the unfathomability of Ling Xiao, and also made the elders of the Imperial Palace begin to re-examine this mysterious strong man.
The old man didn't seem very disappointed, but was vaguely surprised. He was surprised that Ling Xiao could be so strong even if his realm dropped significantly. This was really unexpected.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice:
"Although his realm has plummeted, he is extremely calm and can even be said to be strong. He definitely has something to rely on. Moreover, the two little girls beside him are definitely not simple. Although these two little girls look harmless,
Once you take action, it will be extremely terrifying. Anyway, one of them cannot be defeated with the ability of his subordinates."
The middle-aged man's tone was full of awe and emotion. His words not only described Ling Xiao's calmness and strength, but also specifically mentioned the two little girls who seemed ordinary but had amazing strength.
There was a trace of imperceptible fear in his eyes. Obviously, those two little girls left a very deep impression on him. He knew that being able to follow a person like Ling Xiao, these two little girls
The strength must not be underestimated.
The voice in the jade sign was silent for a long time, as if the old man was also savoring the middle-aged man's words and thinking about the deep meaning.
After a while, the voice sounded again, with a bit of determination and depth: "We at Huangquan Bulao Mountain will not get involved in this matter for the time being. If I am not mistaken, Ling Xiao's arrival in Zhenmofu City should be
Word spread quickly, and at that time, many people were looking for trouble for him. When the time comes, we will know what trump card he has!"
The old man's decision seemed both prudent and wise. He knew that in this turbulent world, acting rashly would only cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he chose to wait and see the changes and wait for the time to mature before making any plans.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Elder, there is no movement from other forces at this time?"
The middle-aged man's voice was low and solemn, revealing his deep concern about the current situation. His brows were furrowed and his gaze penetrated the void, as if he was trying to spy on the movements of forces hidden in the dark.
His words not only contained doubts about the current situation, but also alertness to unknown threats.
The voice in the jade sign said: "Because of this, this is the most terrifying thing. They are either afraid of each other, or they dare not move. No matter what, just watch and watch! If you are not careful, it may be a disaster. We will definitely
Don’t be careless!”
The voice coming from the jade tablet was like a scheming elder whispering in his ear, and every word struck the heartstrings of the middle-aged man.
The voice contained profound wisdom and insight into world affairs, which made the middle-aged man stand in awe. He knew that the elder's words were by no means alarmist, but an accurate judgment of the current complex situation.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded firmly, his eyes flashing with determination and obedience. He understood that at this time, any rash action could push the sect into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Therefore, he must remain calm, obey the elders' instructions, and wait and see what happens.
He put away the jade tablet, his movements were neat and decisive, as if he was showing his determination to himself and everyone.
Then, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down the turmoil in his heart. The humiliation and unwillingness to be snatched away by Ling Xiao weighed on his heart like a boulder, but he knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions.
He must endure the humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of the future of the sect.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, his voice carrying undoubted majesty. He turned to look at the warriors behind him, their eyes were also full of complex emotions.
…
Under the vast starry sky, it is deep and vast, with countless stars like fine diamonds inlaid on black satin, shining with distant and mysterious light.
In this boundless picture of the universe, a floating ship shuttles leisurely, its body is light, like a meteor piercing the night sky, its tail drags a faint light, leaving a gorgeous trajectory, in the silent sea of stars
appears particularly eye-catching.
Ling Xiao sat quietly on the board of the floating ship, with his legs crossed and his hands gently folded on his knees. He closed his eyes and concentrated, immersed in the depth of cultivation.
His breathing was long and steady, and every breath seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. There was a faint spiritual light flowing around his body, which was a sign that the power in his body was slowly growing.
Although the road ahead is unknown, full of challenges and variables, his eyes reveal determination and unyieldingness, because he knows that only by constantly becoming stronger can he protect everything he values in this world where the strong are respected.
Ah Li and Tong Tong, these two lively and cute little guys, are tired of playing at this moment. They are curled up next to Ling Xiao, with smiles of satisfaction and peace on their faces. Their breathing is even and subtle, as if they are not even dreaming.
It's sweet.
For them, being able to cling closely to Ling Xiao and feel his warm and powerful breath is the greatest happiness and peace in the world.
Ling Xiao glanced at them tenderly, and a warm current surged in his heart. He never forced them to practice, because at this age, enjoying the joy and innocence of childhood is far more important than shouldering heavy responsibilities prematurely.
One morning a few days later, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the floating ship, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes that seemed to be able to see everything in the world. His gaze penetrated the heavy clouds and mist, and fell down.
On the distant horizon.
There, a majestic city wall suddenly appeared. It stretched across the sky, like a masterpiece of nature and human wisdom. It was so wide that it was daunting and the edge could not be seen at all.
The height of the city wall is even more astonishing, at least hundreds of miles, reaching straight into the sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
And in the center of the city wall, a wide and flat stone avenue is clearly visible. It is like a silver ribbon, running from east to west and leading to the end of the city.
On both sides of the avenue, you can vaguely see the outlines of carved and painted buildings. Although they are not up close, their simplicity and solemnity already make people feel awe.
Occasionally pedestrians or horse-drawn carriages pass by in a hurry on the stone avenue, leaving behind a series of crisp sounds of horse hooves and laughter, adding a bit of vitality to this ancient and mysterious city.
And above the center of the city wall, three powerful, golden characters "Suppressing Demon Mansion" stand out. They seem to be marks carved by ancient times, revealing an inviolable majesty and solemnity.
Each stroke of these three words contains majestic power and profound history, which makes people involuntarily awe. ()
