Batian Martial Soul

Ling Xiao noticed that, unlike other cities he had visited, the Demon Suppression City was completely free to enter and exit. This discovery made him feel surprised and delighted. He thought to himself, perhaps this is what makes the Demon Suppression City different from others.

They disdain to increase their wealth by collecting such meager income as city entry fees, because they themselves possess unimaginably huge resources and sources of income.

This kind of confidence and strength is the fundamental reason why the Demon-Suppressing Mansion can stand firm and dominate the world.

The three of them walked side by side on the spacious avenue of the Demon-Suppressing City. The stone slabs under their feet had been worn smooth by time and had a faint luster. Every step they took brought out a bit of excitement and excitement of exploring the unknown.

Especially Ali and Tongtong, the two little guys had eyes flashing with novelty and amazement, as if the whole world was opening up to them at this moment.

Their little faces flushed with excitement, with uncontrollable smiles on their lips. From time to time, they pointed at the scenery on both sides of the street, talked in low voices, and shared their joy with each other.

On both sides of the avenue, houses are scattered in an orderly manner, including quaint and elegant wooden pavilions as well as magnificent stone palaces. They are either towering into the clouds or low and close to the people, together forming a picture of this prosperous city.

Every building seems to be telling its own story, where the vicissitudes of history and modern prosperity are interwoven into a silent poem.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Pedestrians of all kinds are walking around, some are dressed in gorgeous clothes, their manners revealing the elegance of aristocrats; others are dressed in simple civilian clothes, their faces are filled with satisfaction and expectations for life.

They were either hurrying on their way or strolling leisurely, occasionally stopping to chat with people they were traveling with. Their smiles and words were full of warmth and harmony.

Ahri held Ling Xiao's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Sister is right, this Demon-Suppressing City is so lively! Look at those pedestrians, their clothes and faces are different, obviously from different races and places.

Behind these people, there must be various forces, including powerful sects, mysterious families, and those solitary and unpredictable independent cultivators. Such a scene is truly breathtaking!"

"Yeah." Ling Xiao responded softly, his eyes gently falling on the two little girls, Ali and Tongtong. Looking at their innocent smiles, his tense nerves couldn't help but relax.

During this period of time, he felt like he was walking on the edge of a knife. The continuous challenges from powerful enemies made him exhausted physically and mentally, and the pressure was as heavy as a mountain. But at this moment, this rare relaxation and tranquility was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making him feel the long-lost comfort.

However, this sense of relief did not last long, as a subtle feeling crept into his heart - he realized that he seemed to be being followed.

Although Ling Xiao did not deliberately hide his whereabouts and was expected to be recognized, the sudden surveillance at such a moment when he should have been relaxing still made him feel a little unhappy.

A sneer appeared on his lips and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he did not react immediately. He just buried his displeasure deep in his heart and continued to move forward.

His steps were steady and calm, as if he was not affected by anything, and he walked straight towards the most famous trading company in Zhenmofu City - "Sitong Trading Company".

This business occupies a pivotal position in the Demon-Suppressing City. It is not only famous for its huge scale and wide range of goods, but also attracts countless people because of the intelligence services it provides.

As the name suggests, Sitong Trading Company has an extensive intelligence network that covers almost the entire Demon-Suppressing Prefecture and even a wider area. Whether it is business secrets, sect dynamics, or personal whereabouts, as long as the corresponding price is paid, almost all the answers can be found here.

Moreover, the identity of the mysterious controller behind Sitong Trading Company is shrouded in layers of fog and remains an unsolved mystery to this day.

Countless people discussed it privately and made various speculations, but none of them could get solid evidence. This sense of mystery not only did not make the Sitong Commercial Bank lose its luster, but instead added a bit of legendary color to it, attracting more people's attention and curiosity.

However, these complicated speculations have nothing to do with Ling Xiao's current mood.

In his mind, there are only two things that matter most:
First, they need to use the platform of Sitong Commercial Bank to convert some of the items in their hands into much-needed resources;
The second is that he is eager to find out about Yue Nu and Xiao Lianzhu's current situation.

Yue Nu, the woman who left a deep impression on him, her safety always concerns Ling Xiao; and Xiao Lianzhu, although she chose to join the equally mysterious Huangquan Bulao Mountain, Ling Xiao still cannot completely let go of his worries and concerns about her.

Ling Xiao had mixed feelings towards Huangquan Bulao Mountain. He knew very well that although this sect did not have a place in the ranking of the sects in the Demon Suppression Mansion, the strength and influence behind it could not be underestimated.

The disciples of Huangquan Bulao Mountain often act in a low-key and secretive manner, but every move they make is enough to shock the entire cultivation world. It is this mystery and power that makes Huangquan Bulao Mountain a place that many people both revere and yearn for.

After staying in the Demon-Suppressing Mansion for such a long time, Ling Xiao gradually felt a strong urge in his heart. He wanted to see Xiao Lianzhu with his own eyes, even if it was just a glance from a distance to confirm whether she was okay.

This worry and longing was like a trickle of water. Although it was not noticeable, it was eroding his heart all the time.

As for the Moon Girl, she is not only the most core goal in Ling Xiao's reincarnation, but also the embodiment of the undying obsession deep in his heart.

The figure of the Moon Girl was like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding him through the thick fog and overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles.

He firmly believed that no matter where Yue Nu was, he would find her, even if he had to visit every corner of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, or even cross to the depths of the Soul-Suppressing Mansion, or even turn the entire Dazhen Dynasty and the Bai Ze Continent upside down, he would never give up.

This determination is as firm as a rock and cannot be shaken.

"I just don't believe I can't find it." Ling Xiao swore secretly in his heart, with an unyielding light in his eyes. This belief is not only a deep affection for Yue Nu, but also an absolute confidence in his own will and ability.

Just as he entered the door of Sitong Commercial Bank with this belief, an old man suddenly appeared in front of him, bowed and saluted, with a tone of respect and expectation: "Young Master Ling, our shopkeeper has heard of your great name for a long time, and wanted to meet you. I wonder if you are willing to come with me?"

The old man had white hair and beard, and a kind face, but his deep eyes revealed an extraordinary aura. (End of this chapter)
