Seeing that Long Yuxuan was surrounded by seven purple-level people, and the guy who dared to hold her hostage turned out to be just a purple-level person and not a threat at all, Long Tao smiled coldly and said proudly: "No reason, that's because Old Luo Zhizhizhi They have always been my grandfather's most loyal subordinates. The whereabouts of your parents back then were exactly what Lao Luo told Zuo Xiao, the protector of the Seven Demons Sect. I can't believe that, haha."
Long Yuxuan was so angry that he spurted out another mouthful of blood: "Why didn't you just kill me back then?"
Long Tao looked at Long Yuxuan with "pity" on his face: "What do you think, if you died back then, wouldn't all the power of the Long family of your grandfather's lineage be gone? This is called boiling frogs in warm water, haha, we The Long family is a businessman, so they naturally want to maximize their profits, right?"
Long Yuxuan thought of how she had led this lineage of Long family forces to run Xihe City over the years. Unexpectedly, in the end, she ended up making wedding clothes for others.
When she thought of this, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but feel despair, and despair arose spontaneously.
"Okay, now that you understand everything, just go and die with peace of mind." A fierce look appeared on Long Tao's face, and he was about to order his men to kill Long Yuxuan when suddenly he caught something with his peripheral vision and immediately shouted :"etc."
In Ling Xiao's hands, he was playing with two strange parchment rolls. The mysterious parchment rolls were full of the atmosphere of the ancient times, and one could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary.
As a direct disciple of the Long family, how could Long Tao not recognize what these two parchments were.
"The map of the palace of the Lord who sealed the demon soul." Long Tao was shocked and delighted. Looking at the two parchments in Ling Xiao's hands, his eyes became fanatical.
Ling Xiao took out a fire fold, placed it on top of the two parchment scrolls, and said nonchalantly: "Master Long, you must not think of letting your men come down to attack me directly, otherwise my hand will Shit, if these two maps were ignited by fire, there would be one or two incomplete places..."
The six purple-level soul masters and Lao Luo used spiritual shock at the same time, hoping to kill Ling Xiao in the shortest possible time.
But they were shocked to find that there was a spiritual power of black, purple and gold in Ling Xiao's mind. As soon as their mental power rushed to these three colors of spiritual power, they suddenly disappeared like mud cows into the sea. No trace.
Mental attacks were actually ineffective against Ling Xiao.
The fastest spiritual attack is ineffective. If he uses other attacks, Ling Xiao will definitely have time to destroy the map in his hand. This is something Long Tao does not want to see anyway, so the seven purple-level soul masters are very angry at the same time. Consciously stopped the attack.
Ling Xiao felt that these seven people had tried to attack him, so he couldn't help but said coldly: "Long Tao, are your men just not taking your words seriously?"
This weird kid couldn't even be killed by the mental impact of a purple-level chain soul master. Long Tao was also horrified at this moment. When he saw Ling Xiao preparing to light the two parchments with fire, he quickly shouted: " Stop, whatever conditions you want, just ask."
Ling Xiao flipped through it casually, and immediately there were six more maps in his hand, which made Long Tao's eyes widen.
Eight of them can be put together to form a complete map of the sealed palace. If you get the treasure left by the Lord of Demonic Souls, then what does the position of the head of the Long family mean?
Seeing that Long Tao's eyes were on the parchment scroll in his hand, Ling Xiao knew that he had whetted his appetite, so he chuckled and said: "Simple, you are a businessman and want to maximize your profits, then I will work with you When negotiating a deal, both of us must swear an oath in the name of our souls for this deal."
Long Tao nodded firmly. As long as the conditions allowed, it didn't matter what he swore in the name of his soul.
"No problem, let's talk about your conditions first." Long Tao couldn't hold back his excitement, and his voice trembled slightly. Although as the eldest grandson of the Long family, he had seen countless treasures, but when he thought of the eight maps recorded on Treasure, Long Tao still couldn't control his mood.
Ling Xiao calmly stated his conditions: "I can give you all eight maps in one breath, with the following conditions: First, Xihe City will be permanently owned by Long Yuxuan, and your Long family will not be allowed to do it again. Intervening will be detrimental to Long Yuxuan; secondly, you must make everyone present swear not to reveal that these eight maps were made by me."
After hearing Ling Xiao's first two conditions, Long Tao frowned. The second condition was absolutely fine, but the troublesome one was the first one.
In the Long family, Grandpa has always had the final say. It was Grandpa's idea to come to Xihe City to "take over" Long Yuxuan's industry this time. It was impossible to convince Grandpa without sufficient costs.
Of course, if he directly donated these eight maps, there would be absolutely no problem. But the problem is that if he donated these eight maps, in addition to a few insignificant words of praise from his grandfather and some rewards that he had already despised. , he has no other benefits at all.
Grandpa only loved the son of his concubine. In the eyes of the head of the Long family, grandsons like Long Tao were just relatively close subordinates.
Therefore, Long Tao would never hand over these eight maps as negotiation capital.
However, it is not a big problem to make a copy of the eight pictures and then hand over one or two of the originals.
When he thought of this, Long Tao nodded: "Yes, I agree to the first two conditions."
Ling Xiao never thought that Long Tao would refuse, and continued: "Third, unless I play with your women or want to kill you, otherwise, your Long family will never kill me."
Long Tao was so angry, what was Ling Xiao's condition?
Long Tao, with a livid face, hummed: "No problem, if there are any other conditions, please tell me quickly."
"The last condition..." Ling Xiao pointed at Lao Luo and said coldly: "Forget about those six purple-level guys. I hate this kind of betrayal the most in my life. Kill him for me. This All eight maps are yours."
Who is Lao Luo? He is called Old Fox.
As soon as he heard Ling Xiao's words, he immediately knew that Long Tao would definitely trade his life with Ling Xiao. He turned around and ran away angrily: "Ling Xiao, Long Tao, wait until I get back. Let the old master file a complaint and let me see if you can still be arrogant."
Long Tao no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "You four go kill that old dog and come back to me with the old dog's body."
"Yes, Master." Four of the six purple-level soul masters flew out and chased in the direction where Lao Luo escaped.
In Ling Xiao's opinion, Lao Luo tore through space and fled, but for those guys at the same level as Lao Luo, they could naturally grasp the direction of his escape.
Long Tao only sent four purple-level bodyguards to hunt down Lao Luo. On the one hand, he thought those four people could handle it. On the other hand, Long Tao did not think that Ling Xiao and Long Yuxuan in front of him were no threat to him. .
Although Ling Xiao is only at the red level now, after these two confrontations, Long Tao discovered that the scariness of this kid lies not in his current strength, but in his deep scheming.
Therefore, Long Tao must leave two people behind to protect himself.
As for the two bald bodyguards, Long Tao completely ignored them. Those two guys were just green-level practitioners, and they were just used to fool the second young master who only knew how to play with women.
Long Tao was a little helpless. If his lineage hadn't been cursed, their strongest cultivation level could only reach the yellow level, so why should he always worry about being threatened by others.
Fortunately, the Long family is rich and powerful, so naturally many people work for them. This is the advantage of the Long family.
After Long Yuxuan took a healing medicine, her pale face improved slightly. She was already in a desperate situation and was about to commit suicide. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao resolved her biggest crisis with just a few words. This made Long Yuxuan Xuan had to get to know Ling Xiao again.
Long Yuxuan gradually began to believe in a prophecy that an old man named Huo had divined for her a long time ago.
This man might really be the man who changed her life.
Ling Xiao looks like a ruffian, but in fact, he reveals his shrewdness and ruthlessness towards his enemies and his concern for her. How many men like this can be in this world.
Ling Xiao didn't know that Long Yuxuan's thoughts had changed now. He was just like Long Tao, focusing on the four purple-level soul masters who had just left.
After a while, the four guys appeared in front of Long Tao in embarrassment. They knelt down helplessly towards Long Tao: "The target escaped, please punish me."
Long Tao yelled angrily: "Trash."
Ling Xiao chuckled and said: "Master Long, let's do this. If you make a soul oath and meet the other three conditions, I will give you six maps, and the remaining two will be waiting for you to take Old Luo's When the heads come to see us, I will give them to you again."
Long Tao didn't expect Ling Xiao to be so generous at this time. Without saying a word, he raised three fingers and swore a heavy oath in the name of his soul: "I, Long Tao, swear in the name of my soul..."
After listening to such a long oath, Ling Xiao casually threw the six maps to Long Tao: "I am so refreshing, you should believe that I will not rely on you for the last two maps."
"This..." Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to leave, Long Tao looked anxious: "Your Excellency, it's best..."
Ling Xiao waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you businessmen."
Ling Xiao raised three fingers and made an oath that he had promised before. If the other party met these conditions, he would hand over the last two maps to the other party.
Seeing that Ling Xiao also made a strong oath, Long Tao smiled reassuringly: "Your Excellency, you can leave with your sister."
"Sister." Long Yuxuan smiled coldly. Just now, Long Tao was fighting to the death with Ling Xiao and herself. Now that she is her sister, she also forgot that Ling Xiao slapped him twice.
Humph, there really isn't anyone good in this Long family.
"Let's go." Long Yuxuan didn't bother to pay attention to Long Tao, picked up Ling Xiao and left quickly.
When the two returned to the hall on the top floor of Xihe Chamber of Commerce, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but vomited out another mouthful of hot blood.
In Long Yuxuan's subconscious mind, she thought Ling Xiao would comfort her, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao just looked at her indifferently, and groaned with deep resentment: "I didn't tell you to take whatever you can bring with you." Are you bringing everyone with you? You think my words are falling on deaf ears."
Long Yuxuan couldn't help but became furious and shouted in a trembling voice: "I want you to take care of it."
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment. He did not continue to ridicule Long Yuxuan because he saw the tears in Long Yuxuan's eyes.
She actually cried.
Yes, the strong woman Long Yuxuan cried, she cried very sadly and desperately.
The white veil fell off naturally, revealing the sad and beautiful face full of tears and pear blossoms, which made Ling Xiao feel heartbroken.
Without saying anything else, Ling Xiao stepped forward and gently hugged Long Yuxuan.
Long Yuxuan leaned on Ling Xiao's shoulder very relaxedly and cried a little louder than before.
The long-term suppression made Long Yuxuan burst out at this moment. After all, due to Lao Luo's betrayal, the only person Long Yuxuan is closest to now is Ling Xiao, a man she has only met a few times.
Ling Xiao gently stroked Long Yuxuan's silky long hair without saying a word, letting Long Yuxuan cry until her clothes were soaked through, and Long Yuxuan stopped crying.
Suddenly, Long Yuxuan raised her head, looked at Ling Xiao with a look of resentment, and asked leisurely: "Who is Yu'er?"
