Chapter 14875 Get Out of My Territory
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Xiao nodded slowly, his gaze once again fixed on the dark door in the distance, his voice soft yet firm: "I want to see her, to see Xiao Lianzhu."
As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the door that exuded a cold aura, his eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty...
Is Xiao Lianzhu still the same little girl who used to follow behind him, calling him "Brother Ling" in a soft, sweet voice, and whom he protected?
He had no confidence whatsoever!
Because he and Xiao Lianzhu hadn't seen each other for far too long, so long that he could hardly remember what the last time she smiled at him looked like.
He didn't know if, after so much time, Xiao Lianzhu was still the same innocent and kind-hearted Xiao Lianzhu who had his eyes only for her!
Time flies, years change, and after so long apart, Xiao Lianzhu might really have changed, become indifferent, become a stranger, and no longer be the person he remembers.
If... if she really has changed, no longer recognizes him, no longer remembers their past, then what is the point of everything he has done?
He had never dared to think deeply about this question before, afraid that the answer would not be what he wanted, afraid of shattering the last remaining expectation in his heart.
But now, standing before the gates of this underworld town, he has no choice but to think about it and face the answer that could break his heart.
If not, then all his persistence and all his efforts in disrupting the martial arts world would truly be meaningless.
No one knew that his biggest purpose in coming to the Chaotic Martial World was never to compete for the treasure or to improve his strength, but to find Xiao Lianzhu, the girl he had protected since childhood and who was engraved in his heart.
Just as Ling Xiao was lost in thought, filled with melancholy, Xiang Ying suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with curiosity and a hint of mockery:
“You’re not stupid, kid. You’ve come here at such great risk. It’s not just to see her. There must be a reason!”
I'm quite curious, curious about what makes you think the mayor of this underworld town would help you, would turn against me for your sake?
Ling Xiao didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the dark door in the distance. His aura became increasingly low, and his silence concealed endless anticipation and trepidation.
Xiang Ying didn't press the matter further. He looked up at the dark doorway, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes...
The inside was pitch black and completely silent, without the slightest movement, as if no one had ever lived there.
A moment later, Xiang Ying withdrew his gaze, looked at Ling Xiao, and a playful smile appeared on his lips:
"I'll give you fifteen minutes! If she doesn't come out after fifteen minutes, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll have to take your life as we made a bet!"
Ling Xiao remained silent, his gaze never leaving the doorway, silently praying that Xiao Lianzhu would appear, even if it was just to see him once.
A quarter of an hour is neither long nor short; it passes in the blink of an eye, as if it were just a blink of an eye.
When the time was up, Xiang Ying chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery and certainty:
"It seems our mayor of this underworld town isn't coming out. Either she's not here, or she simply doesn't want to see you, much less offend me for your sake!"
As she spoke, she slowly turned her head to look at Ling Xiao, the playfulness in her eyes fading, replaced by a cold killing intent.
Ling Xiao met her gaze and spoke softly, his tone calm and even, as if he had already accepted this outcome: "Make your move!"
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and deep in his eyes was endless loss and melancholy.
He knew that Xiao Lianzhu must know he was here...
This was her territory; no movement could escape her notice. The fact that she hadn't shown herself, hadn't come out to see him, said it all!
She has changed. She is no longer the Xiao Lianzhu she once was. She no longer remembers him, nor does she care about him anymore.
Since that's the case, he no longer insists on anything. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. Today, he will die here and put an end to all his obsessions.
Xiang Ying glanced at the still unmoved door in the distance, shook her head slightly, and a regretful smile appeared on her face. Then, her gaze fell on Ling Xiao, who was standing close by, and her tone was icy:
"It seems you've lost this bet! Go in peace, I'll give you a quick death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her right hand, and her boundless spiritual power erupted instantly.
A terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped Ling Xiao, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him, causing the air around him to freeze and making it difficult to even breathe.
However, just as this fatal blow was about to land, a clear and majestic voice suddenly came from the void beside them.
The voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in their ears like thunder, causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly: "Try touching him!"
Xiang Ying's expression changed drastically. The killing intent in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of solemnity and astonishment. She abruptly looked up, her gaze fixed on the direction from which the sound came...
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the void, and a figure in white slowly walked out of it.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her skin was as white as snow, her face was exquisitely beautiful and flawless, and her eyes were as cold as stars, yet they held endless depth.
She was surrounded by a faint, chilling aura, with a cool and aloof demeanor and an air of domineering authority... Who else could it be but Xiao Lianzhu?
Xiao Lianzhu walked lightly to Ling Xiao's side, slightly turning her body to completely shield Ling Xiao between herself and Xiang Ying.
His aura instantly turned icy cold, and his oppressive aura was several times stronger than Xiang Ying's, heading straight for Xiang Ying.
"Mayor." Xiang Ying's eyes instantly turned extremely serious. His grip on the Heaven-Shaking Spear tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His tone carried a hint of apprehension. "Why are you here?"
I said, get out.
Xiao Lianzhu didn't look at her; her gaze remained fixed on Ling Xiao behind her. Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority as she repeated each word clearly.
"Get out of my territory. If you dare to lay a finger on him again, you're dead."
Xiang Ying remained silent for a moment, the apprehension on his face gradually fading, replaced by a strange smile.
There was no fear in that smile, only an intense, unyielding fighting spirit, like a dormant volcano about to erupt.
"Mayor, I know you are very strong. I was no match for you back then, and you are still stronger than me now."
She slowly tightened her grip on the Heaven-Shaking Spear in her hand. The spear's body shone with spiritual light, and her aura surged accordingly.
"But... I want to try! I want to see just how big the gap is between you and me after all these years!"
