Although the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword has not been among the four greatest treasures of the Demon Sect, its power is enough to drive any warrior crazy. What's more, now this sword has fallen into the hands of a young man who is only in the Flying Heaven Realm.
In the hands of young warriors, this undoubtedly gives everyone a huge temptation and hope.
Although Feitian Realm is considered a strong person in the martial arts world, it is still insignificant compared to those strong men in Tianhe Realm and even higher realms.
However, it is this "insignificance" that inspires the greed and ambition of countless people. They believe that as long as they can capture the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, they will be able to soar into the sky and become the pinnacle of the martial arts world.
Therefore, despite the dangers ahead, they are still unwilling to give up this golden opportunity easily.
Of course, since Ling Xiao's deeds in Huangquan Bulao Mountain spread like wildfire, some of the forces that originally coveted the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword have quietly chosen to withdraw.
These forces are either afraid of the powerful power that may be hidden behind Ling Xiao, or they are well aware of the principle that "everyone is not guilty, but the one who carries the treasure is guilty". Some people also have a deep understanding that no matter how precious the treasure is, if they cannot protect it with their lives, they will eventually lose their lives.
Just an empty dream.
In a corner of Zhenmo Fucheng, the atmosphere in Fu Zun's Mansion seemed particularly calm. Long Yingtian, the Fu Zun, suffered from the pain of losing his wife and his only son, Long Chen, was traveling around all year round, which made his life a little more lonely.
Therefore, the study became a haven for his soul. Whenever he had free time, he would immerse himself in the sea of books, not only to relieve loneliness, but also to seek breakthroughs in cultivation in this vast knowledge. This was his
A shortcut to spiritual practice that I accidentally discovered while reading ancient books countless times.
In the study room, the light is soft, and the books on the bookshelf are scattered in an orderly manner, each carrying different knowledge and wisdom. In front of Long Yingtian's desk, there is a simple bronze mirror. Although this mirror is inconspicuous, it contains
Extraordinary abilities.
Not only can it reflect every corner of the Fuzun Mansion, but it can also provide a panoramic view of the entire Zhenmo Mansion City through some mysterious means.
The images in the mirror flow like a miniature city model, with people coming and going, traffic flowing, and everything under control. This is the unique privilege of Fu Zun, and it is also a manifestation of his silent but powerful control over the city.
Long Yingtian caressed the mirror, his eyes showed both indifference towards power and deep concern for his son Long Chen.
He knows very well that in this martial arts world where the strong are respected, every step must be taken carefully, especially for young talents like Ling Xiao and Long Chen, whose rise is often accompanied by secret contests between countless forces.
He hopes that Long Chen can return safely, and he also hopes that he can find his own path and achieve a career in this turbulent martial arts world.
At this time, a tall man in black armor quietly walked into the study, his steps steady, exuding a majesty that should not be underestimated. His armor glowed with a cold luster under the sunlight, and every step he took
It seemed to have stepped on Long Yingtian's heartstrings.
Long Yingtian raised his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, and he said one word calmly: "Speak!" Although his voice was soft, it carried unquestionable authority.
The black-armored man saluted respectfully, and then said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the Lord, after many investigations by us, we have determined that there are three forces secretly following Master Ling Xiao. One is the notorious Black Clothes Sect, and the other is the Xihuang Sect.
The Duanmu family is the most famous family in the region. Both of them are not good people, and their intentions are unpredictable."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, adding a bit of solemnity to his tone.
"As for the remaining three, they are even more mysterious. They seem to be born from nothingness, with no trace to be found, and no obvious signs to identify. The subordinates have tried their best and used all the abilities in the mansion.
The resources and means used, but still cannot get a full picture of it.”
Long Yingtian's brows furrowed slightly, and an imperceptible worry flashed through his deep eyes.
"Mysterious forces..." he repeated in a low voice, with a hint of imperceptible solemnity in his voice. He knew very well that in this martial arts world where the strong were respected and the forces were complex, unknown enemies were often the most terrifying.
"Have you ever tried to contact Zhu Xiaoqi?" Long Yingtian pondered for a moment and asked. Zhu Xiaoqi, as the most famous secret agent in Fu Zun Mansion, has an intelligence network all over the Baize Continent, knowing almost everything and everything.
Don't know.
The man in black armor shook his head, his tone full of helplessness: "My subordinates have ordered people to summon Zhu Xiaoqi urgently, but unfortunately, even he failed to find out the slightest clue about this mysterious force. According to Xiaoqi,
, these forces act in extremely secretive ways, with superb techniques, and seem to deliberately avoid all possible tracking and detection."
Silence suddenly fell into the study room, leaving only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window and the hustle and bustle of the market in the distance, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle of the outside world. Long Yingtian closed his eyes and pondered, secretly calculating countermeasures in his heart. He knew that facing him,
Against such a powerful unknown force, every step must be taken with caution.
Zhu Xiaoqi! This name is like thunder in the Fu Zun Mansion. He is one of Long Yingtian’s most trusted arms, not only because of his extraordinary cultivation in the heavenly realm, but also because of his almost unpredictable detection ability.
.
In the martial arts world, Zhu Xiaoqi's name is enough to scare countless forces. However, this time when facing that mysterious force, even he failed and failed to find out the opponent's identity. This is undoubtedly a problem for Long Ying.
A shadow was cast in Tian's heart.
In the study, the atmosphere was particularly heavy due to the sudden news.
The man in black armor continued: "It's really strange. They don't seem to be in a hurry to take action. They are just lurking quietly in the dark, like poisonous snakes lurking in the grass, waiting for the best opportunity." There was something in his tone.
Perplexity and vigilance.
When Long Yingtian heard the words, he moved slightly, stood up slowly, and looked through the window lattice of the study room to the distant end of the sky. In his eyes, there was both worry about the unknown challenge and deep love for his son Long Chen.
concern.
"They are waiting for the moment when Chen'er and Ling Xiao separate." Long Yingtian sighed softly, his voice full of helplessness and worry.
"Ling Xiao's trip is full of dangers. Although Luanmo City is far away, the real test may have just begun. I hope Chen'er can stay vigilant and be safe. This child is too persistent. Once he determines something, it will be nine
Even a cow can't pull it back."
At the other end of Baize Continent, Luanmo City, a place far to the west of Zhenmo Mansion, was not only a destination for Ling Xiao, but also a synonym for unknown and danger.
He only knew that according to the clues in his hand, he needed to go all the way west and cross the vast Western Wasteland before he could reach the legendary city.
