Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 12734 Spend money to save your life
Ling Xiao knew very well that anyone who dared to kill him for the sake of one million mid-grade spirit stones must not be very strong.

Moreover, this is the territory of Tianxiahui, and it is difficult for outsiders to infiltrate. This means that those who want to harm him are most likely disciples within Tianxiahui.

Ling Xiao had a thought about Zhang Luan. She might also be interested in the bounty. After all, Zhang Luan had a grudge against him, and her family had a close relationship with Zhang Luan. They had the motive and the ability to attack Ling Xiao.

However, what really made Ling Xiao frown was that he didn't know who the person behind the bounty was. Logically speaking, after he came to the Southern Region, he didn't offend many forces. Only the Southern Region Holy Hall could be considered his enemy.

But as the overlord of one side, the Southern Domain Holy Hall should not issue a bounty for a mere one million mid-grade spirit stones, right?

Ling Xiao couldn't help but wonder what the truth behind this was. He decided to find out who was behind the bounty as soon as possible to avoid being secretly plotted against.

"Be careful, I have to go back to deal with Wang Heng's affairs." Wang Xuan took a deep breath and said helplessly. She knew that Ling Xiao's current situation was not optimistic, but she also had her own affairs to deal with and could not always be with him.

When Ling Xiao heard Wang Xuan's words, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Why are you helping me?" There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he wanted to get a clear answer from Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan looked at Ling Xiao, a smile appeared on his lips, and he replied: "I want to take advantage of you. Because I think you will be very great in the future. Your potential and ability are not comparable to ordinary people. By helping you, I am also leaving a way out for myself in the future."

Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He nodded and said to Wang Xuan, "Don't worry, it's mine and yours."

At this time, another group of figures slowly appeared in front of the mausoleum. Ling Xiao's eyes swept over the group of people, a total of fourteen people, who were none other than the thirteen demon generals under his command and the newly joined demon general number zero, Meng Haoqing.

"Did everyone get in successfully?" Ling Xiao asked, his voice echoing in front of the empty mausoleum.

Ling Bi stepped forward and nodded slightly in response: "Well, Weiwei, Meng Haoqing and I have already joined the upper house, and the rest of us will continue to practice in the lower house."

Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one, as if to confirm their status. Then, he said in a deep voice: "The lower house, led by Huanbi, you all need to practice hard and improve your strength. You don't need to worry about my affairs for the time being, you just need to concentrate on your practice."

When Huanbi heard Ling Xiao's instructions, she immediately stood up and responded, "Yes! We will concentrate on practicing, you can rest assured." After that, she turned and looked at the others, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Ling Xiao nodded again, then turned his gaze to Huanbi and specifically reminded her: "Huanbi, keep an eye on Wang Xuan. If she gets into any trouble or danger, help her. She is my friend, and I don't want anything to happen to her here."

Upon hearing this, Huanbi immediately responded, "Yes! I will pay attention, please rest assured, Master Lingxiao."

After explaining everything, Ling Xiao waved his hand, signaling that they could leave. Huanbi and the others bowed and said goodbye to Ling Xiao, then turned and left, their figures gradually disappearing on the road in front of the mausoleum.

In front of the mausoleum, only Ling Xiao, Ling Bi, Wei Wei and Meng Haoqing were left. Ling Xiao's eyes swept over the three of them and he had already made a decision in his mind.

"Ling Bi, Wei Wei, Meng Haoqing, you three don't have to stay in the magic needle space anymore. Come with me into the upper courtyard to practice."

Ling Xiao spoke slowly, his tone firm, "As a major force, the Tianxia Association must have many precious cultivation resources. Now that we are here, we must make full use of everything here, take as much as we can, and constantly improve our strength."

Ling Xiao knows that one person's power is limited, he needs helpers and like-minded partners to fight side by side. Ling Bi, Wei Wei and Meng Haoqing are all trustworthy partners.

Not only are they strong, they also have firm beliefs and courage, and can face future challenges with him.

"No problem!" The three of them answered in unison, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that following Ling Xiao meant embarking on a cultivation path full of challenges and opportunities. But they were not afraid, but full of expectations and confidence.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes revealing satisfaction. He believed that as long as the four of them worked together, they would be able to carve out a place for themselves in the Tianxia Association.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao took Ling Bi, Wei Wei and Meng Haoqing into the mausoleum and began to concentrate on practicing. He knew that the road of practice was long and arduous, and he needed to constantly accumulate and improve his strength.

Therefore, he planned to use the resources and time in the mausoleum to practice with all his strength in the hope of breaking through his limits in the near future.

At the same time, Ling Xiao did not forget to ask Bai Lian and Wang Heng for medium-grade spirit stones.

He gave them a day to think about it, and made it clear that if they did not hand over the middle-grade spirit stone before dawn tomorrow, they would face the threat of death. Although he knew that the two would not hand over the spirit stone readily, Ling Xiao did not care, because he was ready to publicly execute the two.

The next day, just after daybreak, Wang Heng came to the door with an unhappy look on his face and brought one million medium-grade spirit stones.

He felt very aggrieved and felt that he was forced by his family to give Ling Xiao the Spirit Stone, which was simply shameful. In his opinion, even if he did not give Ling Xiao the Spirit Stone, Ling Xiao would never dare to kill him. After all, he was the deacon of the upper house and a member of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the Tianxia Association.

When he threw the storage ring to Ling Xiao, his eyes were filled with resentment and anger. He felt that he had been betrayed by his family and was forced to bow to a person he looked down upon. But he had no choice. His family ordered him to give the spirit stone to Ling Xiao, and he dared not disobey.

He is not afraid of Ling Xiao, but he is afraid of the punishment from his family.

"I didn't intend to give it to you," Wang Heng said coldly, "but my family listened to someone's slander and insisted that I give it to you. It's really embarrassing."

“You’ll soon realize you’re doing the right thing.”

Ling Xiao glanced at Wang Heng indifferently, then left the mausoleum and went to the upper courtyard to find Bai Lian.

Wang Heng also followed.

At this time, in a tavern in the upper courtyard, the atmosphere was a little tense. A dozen people were sitting around the table, one of whom was Bai Lian. She looked pale and a little nervous, holding a storage bag tightly in her hand, which contained the medium-grade spirit stones that had been prepared long ago.

Obviously, she wanted to use the spirit stone to save her life.
