Ling Xiao's arrival in the Sacred Dynasty's Restoration Conference added to the joyous atmosphere.
Ever since he became the president of the Restoration Conference, Wu Xiang, who did not dare to drink easily, made an exception and had a few drinks with Ling Xiao.
Of course, drinking was not the only thing during the banquet.
Ling Xiao and the Restoration Conference planned to work together, and this time, they were discussing the details of the collaboration.
The Restoration Conference would act secretly and sneak into Demonic City to prepare for the uprising.
Ling Xiao would lead the army to attack from the outside.
With a pincer attack, it was definitely possible to destroy Demonic City.
As for the specific details, both sides were very cautious and discussed for a full two hours before deciding.
After the discussion ended, Ling Xiao reluctantly left Langton City.
Although he really wanted to stay with Wu Xiang and the others for a while longer, there was an important matter at hand. He could not afford to waste time here.
After leaving Langton City, Ling Xiao originally planned to go directly to Demonic City to continue his investigation.
He wanted to be prepared to flatten Demonic City.
However, on the way, he suddenly remembered that he still had something important to tell Wu Xiang, which was about the current emperor of the True Demonic Empire, Jiao Batian.
Jiao Batian was a very important chess piece. If he told Wu Xiang, it would be easier for Wu Xiang and the others to act.
After all, he was the emperor of the True Demonic Empire.
However, when he returned to Langton City, he realized that something was not right.
He definitely did not leave for more than 15 minutes, but the current Langton City felt completely different from before.
Although there were many Seafolk soldiers patrolling the streets of Langton City before, they were all normal patrols.
However, this time, the entire Langton City seemed to be under martial law. Even the people doing business on the streets were nowhere to be seen.
The entire city was shrouded in dark clouds.
It was the calm before the storm.
Ling Xiao did not enter the city through the normal way because he realized that it was unrealistic.
Outside the city gates, on top of the city towers, there were a large number of soldiers guarding. It was as if they were facing a great enemy.
'What happened?'
Ling Xiao was a little worried.
He suspected that what had happened last night had been exposed, and the Sacred Dynasty was now being targeted.
If that was the case, then the Sacred Dynasty's situation would be extremely dangerous.
Ling Xiao used Shadow Step to easily avoid the patrolling guards and headed for the Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company.
Several people were lying on the ground in front of the Xiang Long Trading Company. Although they were not dead, they were all tied up and looked very angry.
The Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company's signboard had long since been smashed into pieces. It lay weakly on the ground, already broken into pieces.
Ling Xiao's frown deepened.
His worries had become reality. It seemed that something had really happened to the Xiang Long Trading Company.
Although he did not know what was going on, he would not allow Wu Xiang to be in danger no matter what.
Although they were not related by blood, they were closer than brothers. He would never allow anything to happen to him.
"Ling Xiao, there's an ambush in the courtyard, but you can handle it with your strength. Do you want me to help?"
In the sky, the Moon Maiden asked with concern.
"Sister Moon Maiden, find my Senior Brother Wu Xiang first. If he's fine, don't interfere."
Ling Xiao said.
"Okay!"
The Moon Maiden agreed and flew to the backyard of the Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company.
With her around, Wu Xiang and the others would not be in danger.
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then kicked open the tightly shut door.
Just as the door opened, several arrows pierced through the air and flew toward him.
They tore through the air and shot fiercely toward Ling Xiao.
In the face of the sudden attack, Ling Xiao's expression was cold and indifferent, as if he did not see it at all.
A layer of reddish-gold light appeared on his body.
He still lifted his foot and walked forward.
When the arrow was more than a meter away from him, it was as if it had encountered the sun and instantly turned into ashes, not leaving a single drop of metal behind.
At the same time that the arrow turned into ashes, Ling Xiao's figure had already closed in on the person who shot the arrow.
There were four archers, and each of them shot two arrows in unison.
Their cultivation base was around the Celestial Realm, around the Heaven and Earth Realm. Each of them was wearing the standard leather armor of Langton City's soldiers.
"Die!"
A cold voice came out of Ling Xiao's mouth. When he approached the archer, four rays of light shot out from the Taiji Eye and pierced the four archers' throats.
"Master Ling Xiao!"
Behind the counter, a person covered in blood struggled to climb out and shouted at Ling Xiao.
His voice was hoarse and low.
It was obvious that it was caused by his serious injuries.
Even so, he had an ecstatic expression on his face. When he saw Ling Xiao, it was as if he saw his savior.
"You're the shopkeeper from before."
Although Ling Xiao had only been to the Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company once, his memory was very good. He remembered very clearly that this person was one of the shopkeepers of the Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company.
Although the two of them had never spoken a word, Ling Xiao still remembered him well.
"Pfft —!"
The shopkeeper spat out a mouthful of blood and looked very weak.
Ling Xiao hurriedly took out a Rejuvenation Pill and stuffed it into his mouth. He asked, "What happened? I've only been gone for 15 minutes. How did this happen? "
"Don't ask anymore, Master Ling Xiao. Hurry to the backyard. The City Lord of Langton City suddenly went berserk. I don't know what happened, but he sent people to besiege the Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company. President Wu Xiang was harmed and poisoned. I'm afraid he can't use his full strength. The situation is critical."
People who did such secret things were most afraid of betrayal by their partners.
However, betrayal was very common in this industry.
Wu Xiang was either inexperienced or too trusting of others. That was why he was plotted against and tricked.
However, no matter what the reason was, Ling Xiao would never allow anything to happen to Wu Xiang.
Fortunately, the Moon Lady had gone over. Wu Xiang would definitely not die. This made him feel better.
"Don't worry. Senior Brother Wu Xiang is not that easy to deal with."
Ling Xiao channeled his energy to treat the shopkeeper's injuries.
This was because he found that this person's injuries were very serious. Just the Rejuvenation Pill alone would not be able to save him. He had to channel his energy to treat his injuries. Otherwise, he would really die.
Since Wu Xiang and the others were not in danger, it was fine to stay and help this person.
"Who is the traitor?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Gao Yangjun!"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "This Gao Yangjun was originally a genius martial artist that the president thought highly of. He was not even 30 years old, but his cultivation had reached the half-step Grotto-Heaven Realm. But I didn't expect this guy to betray us. Damn it."
"I'll remember this name. He must die!"
Ling Xiao hated traitors.
Even more than he hated his enemies.
"Is there anything else you know? Tell me everything."
Ling Xiao asked.
"Also, Master Ling Xiao, be careful. This time, there is a Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist who brought people to attack our Auspicious Prosperity Trading Company. He is the East County Marquis of the Divine Phoenix Empire. This guy is very powerful. If the president was not poisoned, he would definitely be able to kill him.
But that might not be the case now. "
The shopkeeper replied.
