Chapter 14408 You Go and Manage the Demon Sea

Ling Xiao knew that a great crisis was about to befall him, and as the guardian of this land, he had to be fully prepared.

Just as he was deep in thought, constantly considering countermeasures, a series of light footsteps approached from afar.

The footsteps were light yet powerful, as if each step resonated with Ling Xiao's heartstrings.

The newcomer was dressed in a simple white outfit, the white fabric shimmering softly in the moonlight, as if it were a sacred aura emanating from her.

The sword at her waist swayed gently with her steps, and the decorations on the scabbard gleamed coldly in the moonlight, revealing a chilling murderous aura.

The moonlight shone on her heroic eyebrows and eyes, outlining her resolute and courageous profile. She was none other than Lü Ning, who once ruled a region.

"I heard you recently achieved another breakthrough?"

Lu Ning stood tall and straight, like an ancient pine tree, before him.

Her gaze was so sharp it seemed to penetrate everything, quickly sweeping over the subtle aura flowing around Ling Xiao.

The energy flowed like a gentle stream, seemingly calm, yet concealing a surging power, as if it would erupt into a raging torrent at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile that carried a hint of confidence and composure: "It's acceptable."

These two words, though simple, seemed to contain boundless confidence, as if this breakthrough was nothing more than a natural outcome for him.

Lü Ning shook her head slightly, a hint of self-mockery in her eyes. She sighed softly and said, "It seems I'll never be able to keep up with you."

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness. After all, Ling Xiao's talent and strength were obvious to all. Over the years, he had been like a dazzling star, always ahead of everyone else.

"They were all forced into it."

Ling Xiao's smiling face suddenly turned serious, and his voice became low, as if it came from a distant place, or as if it came from the most secret corner of his heart.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he were recalling something from the distant past.

Those past events may have been filled with hardships and tribulations, and there may have been countless brushes with death.

From the Demon Sea to the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, he has experienced far too much along the way.

In the sea of ​​demons, ferocious monsters surged in like a tide, each exuding a chilling aura. Their attacks were sharp and ruthless, and a moment's carelessness could lead to instant death.

The Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary is filled with experts, each possessing extraordinary abilities. Their methods are unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

The enemies are getting stronger and stronger, and the crises keep coming one after another, seemingly without end.

Currently, there are still hostile forces stirring up trouble within the country, and the Tianyuan Temple has undergone further changes, making the situation increasingly complex.

Not to mention the ancient forces lurking in the shadows, like venomous snakes hiding in the dark, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.

There will never be a peaceful day again.

Ling Xiao sighed inwardly, shook his head with a wry smile, and tried to suppress his chaotic thoughts.

He knew he couldn't let these worries bother him; he had to stay clear-headed to face the challenges ahead.

"I've summoned you today because I have an important matter to entrust to you."

Ling Xiao's expression turned serious, his gaze becoming firm and sincere as he looked directly into Lü Ning's eyes.

"Now that I am in charge of the Demon Sea, I lack truly trustworthy people from the Demon Sea by my side."

"In this complex situation, having no reliable people around is like walking in the dark without a lighthouse to guide you."

After much thought, I've decided that you're the most suitable person for me.

His voice was full of trust, as if Lü Ning was the only hope he could grasp in the darkness.

Lu Ning raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She asked, "Don't you already have Shangguan Yue by your side?"

Shangguan Yue is also an outstanding person who has helped Ling Xiao a lot. Lü Ning doesn't understand why Ling Xiao still wants to find her.

"She is quite capable, but ultimately she is not a native sea creature or demon."

Ling Xiao's gaze was deep, as if he could see through everything.

"The people of the Demon Sea harbor resentment towards her for siding with me."

"In this land, people value lineage and loyalty more."

"There are some things that she simply can't handle."

"Only you, as a native demon seaman with extraordinary abilities and wisdom, can help me solve these problems."

"Understood."

Lü Ning nodded slightly, her eyes hardening as if she were ready to face the challenge.

"What do you want me to do?"

She knew that since Ling Xiao had found her, he must have something important for her to do, and she was willing to do everything in her power for the peace of the Demon Sea and for Ling Xiao's trust.

Ling Xiao looked solemn and slowly took out a black iron token from his sleeve.

The token was jet black, and under the moonlight, it faintly gleamed with a cold luster.

The token is engraved with intricate cloud patterns, the lines of which are smooth yet exude an ancient and mysterious feel, as if they were mysterious runes passed down from ancient times.

The character "令" in the center is written with strong and powerful strokes, gleaming with a faint, cold light under the moonlight, as if it contains endless majesty and power.

"From this day forward, you are authorized to act on my behalf."

"Seeing this decree is like seeing me in person. I fully support Empress Mingkong!"

Ling Xiao's voice was deep and firm, each word carrying immense weight, echoing throughout the hall.

Lu Ning remained calm and accepted the token without changing his expression.

Her fingertips gently traced the cool patterns on the token, the delicate yet icy touch spreading throughout her body.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and asked, "What if anyone objects?"

In this complex situation, it would be difficult to gain the obedience of the masses with just a token.

"come out."

Ling Xiao remained calm and called out softly.

As he finished speaking, a dark figure appeared silently behind Lü Ning, as if it were a ghost suddenly emerging from the darkness.

It was a woman completely shrouded in black, with a slender and agile figure.

She was completely covered in black, with only her eyes, which gleamed with a cold light, visible. They were like the brightest stars in the night sky, yet they exuded a chilling aura.

Only the sword at his waist gleamed with a cold, menacing light. The decoration on the scabbard was simple yet sharp, as if it were ready to be drawn at any moment to slay the enemy.

"She will be at your command from now on."

Ling Xiao pointed at the woman in black and said calmly.

"The Demon Mark Guard will also be under your command. After all, they were originally formed from the personal guards of the Demon King and the Monster King. You are of the same race, which will make you easier to control!"

The Demon Mark Guard is an extremely elite force in the Demon Sea. Each of them is highly skilled in martial arts and is extremely loyal to the Demon King and the Monster King. The fact that it has been handed over to Lü Ning to lead shows how much Ling Xiao trusts her.

Lu Ning gave Ling Xiao a deep look, her eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of gratitude and a hint of teasing: "Aren't you afraid I'll lead them in a rebellion?"
