Zhang Lingyu stared at the closed door, then turned to Ling Bi and asked softly, "Does he really have a plan?"
Ling Bi shook her head, her voice as soft as a wisp of smoke: "I don't know. But my brother, once he decides to do something, either doesn't do it at all, or... he drags the entire Broken Realm Mountain into hell."
……
The room was completely silent.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, his palm open, where the jet-black ring lay quietly.
He stared at the ring for a very long time, so long that even the sky outside the window gradually darkened.
Finally, he took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.
hum!
The immense power of the Great Sun God, like a rushing river, continuously flowed into the ring.
Click.
A crisp, light sound rang out clearly in the quiet room.
The restriction on the ring was lifted immediately.
With a thought, Ling Xiao saw the item in the ring appear in his palm.
There were no divine weapons or mountains of rare and precious materials, only a yellowed letter and a piece of... palm-sized black bone.
The handwriting on the letter was strong and vigorous, clearly the master's handwriting.
"You brat, if you can see this letter, it means you have grown to the point where you can control this thing. I obtained this bone in an ancient ruin. According to ancient records, this thing is closely related to that Demon Lord."
"I have studied it for decades, but I still can't figure out its secrets. I only know that it can give you a chance to survive in a life-or-death situation. The method of use is very simple."
"Drip your heart's blood onto it, then crush it. Remember, this can only be used once; never use it unless absolutely necessary. Be careful, be very careful!"
Ling Xiao picked up the black bone.
It feels icy cold to the touch, as if you are holding a piece of ancient ice. The surface of the bone is covered with fine cracks, and there is a faint black light flowing through it.
The moment he grasped the bone, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword at his waist suddenly began to vibrate violently. The blade trembled wildly in its scabbard, emitting a rapid sword cry, as if it were responding to the bone in some way, or as if it were... in fear!
“Demon Lord…” Ling Xiao murmured softly, stroking his cold bones, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
He carefully tucked the bone close to his body, then slowly closed his eyes.
boom!
The Devouring Heaven Demon Art suddenly activated, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him frantically converged towards him.
This time, he didn't deliberately absorb energy, but instead sorted out all his experiences over the past few days.
The life-or-death struggle with the Holy Temple experts, the instantaneous duel with the Black Crystal Demon Rock Owl, the overwhelming pressure brought by Luo Changfeng... scenes flashed rapidly through his mind.
His cultivation level was steadily improving at an astonishing rate.
Peak of the third level of the Great Sun Realm...
The fourth level of the Great Sun Realm!
Finally, at the moment of his breakthrough in cultivation, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth without warning.
He looked down at his palms, which were covered with fine blood lines. During his forced breakthrough, a third of his meridians had cracked under the force of the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword.
"I was too hasty..." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a wry smile, but there was no regret in his eyes.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of the third day, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Ling Xiao slowly got up and pushed open the door.
Today is the day of the auction.
The auction hall of the True Word Pavilion was already bustling with activity, packed with people. Powerful figures from various forces of Broken Boundary Mountain had gathered here, each with an expression of greed, wariness, or excitement on their face.
Zhang Lingyu, dressed in a simple white dress, stood in the center of the auction stage. Seeing Ling Xiao approach, she nodded slightly, then smiled at the crowd, her voice clear and melodious:
"Gentlemen, you have come from afar to gather at the True Word Pavilion. This auction is hosted by our True Word Pavilion. If there are any oversights, we hope you will forgive us."
As she spoke, she stepped aside to make way for Ling Xiao, her gaze falling on him, and announced loudly, "Next, please welcome the Overlord Emperor, Ling Xiao!"
Ling Xiao walked slowly onto the auction stage, his expression calm.
He raised his hand and waved it, and the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword appeared in his palm. The pitch-black blade gleamed with a cold luster under the sunlight.
He glanced around briefly, and all the chatter that followed his gaze fell silent.
"Gentlemen, I won't bother with empty pleasantries and formalities."
Ling Xiao's voice, amplified by spiritual energy, resonated clearly throughout the entire auction house.
"This sword is called the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword. It was entrusted to me by the Black Soul King to be auctioned here. Keeping this item with me would ultimately be a crime against my possession. Today, I place it here. The Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword is for the destined one. I have no intention of bidding."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword landed lightly on the jade throne in the center of the auction stage.
The moment his fingertips touched the sword, a barely perceptible smile flickered across Ling Xiao's lips.
hum!
The ancient sword glowed slightly, as if sensing something, and emitted a deep sword cry.
Ling Xiao gently stroked the sword, then looked around again, his gaze calm and unwavering: "Whoever wishes to take it, please do so."
After saying this, he turned and left, walking calmly and without any hesitation.
In a short while, his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Seeing Ling Xiao's decisive and efficient departure, Zhang Lingyu, standing in the center of the auction stage, was stunned.
So...they're not filming anymore?
In the shadows, the hidden auras all paused, and the same thought arose in everyone's mind: What exactly is Ling Xiao's intention in doing this?
The auction hall was deathly silent.
Zhang Lingyu stared at the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword lying quietly on the jade throne, her mind in turmoil.
A moment later, she bit her lip and quietly stepped down from the auction stage.
She dared not touch the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword.
Zhang Lingyu did not make a move, and the others in the auction room looked at each other, none daring to take a step forward.
Nobody's stupid.
This Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword is like a hot potato; whoever reaches for it first will become the target of everyone's attacks and be watched by countless eyes!
One hour, two hours passed...
On the auction stage, the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword still lay there quietly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the True Word Pavilion.
Ling Xiao was sitting at the stone table, leisurely brewing tea, a faint smile on his face.
He did not leave Pojie Mountain.
This place has long been secretly sealed off by various forces, and no one can enter or leave.
And he had no intention of leaving at all.
Ling Xiao found a secluded courtyard in the chaotic settlement of Pojie Mountain.
It was a dilapidated old house, with dark green vines climbing all over the broken walls and the stone tables and benches in the courtyard covered with moss, exuding a sense of desolation and isolation from the world.
Ling Bi followed behind him, remaining silent the whole way, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, as if she had a lot on her mind.
