A Demon’s Path

Seeing that Long Yuxuan was surrounded by seven purple ranks, and the guy who dared to hold her hostage was only a purple rank, and there was no danger at all, Long Tao sneered coldly, and said triumphantly: "No reason, it's because of old Luo Zhizhi. In the end, they are my grandfather's most loyal subordinates. The whereabouts of your parents was exactly what Lao Luo told Zuo Xiao, the guardian of the Seven Devils, back then, wouldn't you expect it? Haha!"

Long Yuxuan was so angry that she spurted another mouthful of blood: "Why didn't you just kill me back then?"

Long Tao looked at Long Yuxuan with "pity" on his face: "What do you think? If you died back then, wouldn't your grandfather's lineage of the Long family run away completely? This is called boiling frogs in warm water, haha! We The Long family are businessmen, so naturally they want to maximize their profits, don't they?"

Long Yuxuan remembered that she had led the Long family forces to manage Xihe City painstakingly all these years, but unexpectedly, she ended up making wedding clothes for others.

Thinking of this, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but feel ashamed, and a heart of despair welled up spontaneously.

"Okay, now that you understand everything, you can die with peace of mind!" Long Tao's face showed a fierce look, and he was about to order his subordinates to kill Long Yuxuan, when suddenly he caught something out of the corner of his eye and immediately yelled :"etc!"

In Ling Xiao's hands, he was playing with two strange parchments. The mysterious parchment scroll is very full of the atmosphere of the ancient times, and you can tell it is extraordinary at a glance.

As a direct disciple of the Long family, how could Long Tao not recognize what these two sheepskin scrolls were?

"The palace map of the Lord of the Sealed Demon Soul?" Long Tao was surprised and delighted, looking at the two sheepskin scrolls in Ling Xiao's hands, his eyes became fanatical.

Ling Xiao took out a fire folder, put it on top of the two sheepskin scrolls, and said indifferently: "Master Long, don't even think about letting your men come down and attack me directly, or I will kill you with my hand." Shake, if there are one or two incomplete places on these two maps due to fire..."

The six purple-level soul masters and Lao Luo simultaneously displayed a mental shock, trying to blast Ling Xiao to death in the shortest possible time.

But they were shocked to find that there was black, purple, and gold three-color spiritual power in Ling Xiao's mind. As soon as their spiritual power rushed to this three-color spiritual power, they immediately disappeared like mud cows into the sea. no trace.

The mental attack was ineffective against Ling Xiao!

The fastest mental attack is ineffective, if he uses other attacks instead, Ling Xiao will definitely have time to destroy the map in his hand, this is something Long Tao is unwilling to see anyway, so the seven purple-level soul masters are very excited at the same time. Consciously stopped the attack.

Ling Xiao felt that these seven people tried to attack him, so he couldn't help but said coldly: "Long Tao, is that why your subordinates don't take your words seriously?"

This weird kid couldn't even be killed by the spiritual shock of a purple-ranked chain soul master, Long Tao was also terrified at the moment. When he saw that Ling Xiao was about to light the two parchment scrolls with a fire, he quickly shouted: "Stop it, just say what you want!"

Ling Xiao flipped through it casually, and immediately there were six more maps in his hand, which made Long Tao's eyes straighten.

Eight pieces can be assembled into a complete map of the sealed palace! If you allow yourself to obtain the treasure left by the Lord of the Demon Soul, what is the position of the Patriarch of the Long Family?

Seeing that Long Tao's eyes were all on the parchment in his hand, Ling Xiao knew that he had whetted the other's appetite, so he laughed and said, "Simple, you are a businessman and want to maximize your profits, then I will work with you." Talk about a deal. This deal, both of us must swear in the name of the soul."

Long Tao nodded firmly. As long as conditions permit, what if he swears in the name of the soul?

"No problem, let me talk about your conditions first." Long Tao couldn't hold back his excitement, his voice trembling slightly. Although, as the eldest grandson of the Long family, he had seen countless treasures, Long Tao still couldn't control his emotions when he thought of the treasures recorded on the eight maps.

Ling Xiao stated his conditions very calmly: "I can give you all eight maps in one go, with the following conditions: First, Xihe City will be permanently owned by Long Yuxuan, and your Long family will not Interfering is not good for Long Yuxuan; second, you must make everyone present swear not to reveal that these eight maps came from me."

Hearing Ling Xiao's first two conditions, Long Tao frowned. The second condition is absolutely fine, the trouble is the first condition.

In the Long family, the grandfather has always had the final say, and it was also the grandfather's idea to come to Xihe City to "take over" Long Yuxuan's property this time. Convincing grandpa is impossible without enough cost.

Of course, if he donated these eight maps directly, it would be absolutely fine. But the problem is that if he donates these eight maps, apart from a few innocuous words of appreciation from his grandfather and some rewards that he has long despised, he will have no other benefits at all.

Grandpa only loves his concubine's son, grandsons like Long Tao, in the eyes of the helm of the Long family, are just close subordinates.

Therefore, Long Tao would never hand over these eight maps as negotiating capital.

However, it is not a big problem to make a copy of the eight pictures and then hand over one or two originals.

Thinking of this, Long Tao nodded: "Yes, I agree to the first two conditions."

Ling Xiao never thought that Long Tao would refuse, and continued: "Third, unless I play with your women, or want to kill you, otherwise, your Long family must not kill me!"

Long Tao is so angry, what is Ling Xiao's condition?

The ashen-faced Long Tao snorted, "No problem. If there are any other conditions, let's talk about it quickly."

"The last condition..." Ling Xiao pointed to Lao Luo, and said coldly: "The six purple-level guys are fine, I hate this kind of betrayal person the most in my life, you killed him for me, this All eight maps are yours."

Who is Lao Luo? Known as the old fox!

As soon as he heard Ling Xiao's words, he immediately knew that Long Tao would definitely risk his life to exchange with Ling Xiao, so he turned around and fled angrily: "Ling Xiao, Long Tao, wait until I get back Let the old master file a complaint, let me see if you can still be arrogant!"

Long Tao didn't hesitate anymore, he gritted his teeth and said, "The four of you go and kill that old dog, and bring that old dog's body back to me!"

"Yes, master!" Four of the six purple-ranked spirit masters flew out, chasing after Lao Luo in the direction where he was fleeing.

From Ling Xiao's point of view, Lao Luo is tearing apart the space and leaving, but for those guys of the same level as Lao Luo, they can naturally grasp the direction of his escape.

Long Tao only sent four purple-level bodyguards to chase and kill Lao Luo. On the one hand, he felt that those four could handle it. On the other hand, Long Tao didn't think that Ling Xiao and Long Yuxuan in front of him would pose no threat to him. .

Although Ling Xiao is only at the red level now, after these two confrontations, Long Tao discovered that the frightening degree of this kid does not lie in his current strength, but in his deep scheming.

Therefore, Long Tao had to keep two people to protect himself.

As for the two bald bodyguards, Long Tao completely ignored them. Those two guys are only green-level cultivation bases, and they are just used to fool that flamboyant second young master who only knows how to play with women.

Long Tao was a little helpless, if it wasn't for his lineage being cursed, their strongest cultivation could only reach the yellow level, so why should he always worry about being threatened by others?

Fortunately, their Long family is rich and powerful, so naturally many people will work for them. This is the advantage of their Long family.

After Long Yuxuan took a healing medicine, her pale complexion slightly improved. She was already in a desperate situation and was about to commit suicide, but she didn't expect Ling Xiao to resolve her biggest crisis with just a few words, which forced Long Yuxuan to get to know Ling Xiao again.

Long Yuxuan gradually began to believe in a prophecy that an old man surnamed Huo had predicted for her a long time ago.

This man may really be the man who changed her life.

Ling Xiao looks like a ruffian, but in fact, he reveals his shrewdness and ruthlessness towards the enemy, and his concern for her everywhere. How many such men are there in this world?

Ling Xiao doesn't know that Long Yuxuan's mind has changed now, but just like Long Tao, his attention is all on the four purple-level soul masters who just left.

After a while, those four guys appeared in front of Long Tao in embarrassment, and knelt down helplessly towards Long Tao: "The target escaped, please punish the master."

Long Tao roared angrily, "Trash!"

Ling Xiao laughed and said: "Master Long, how about this, if you make a soul oath, and if the other three conditions can be fulfilled, I will give you six maps. The remaining two are waiting for you to carry Lao Luo's map." I'll hand them over to you when the heads come to see us."

Long Tao didn't expect Ling Xiao to be so generous at this time, without further ado, he raised three fingers and made a solemn oath in the name of his soul: "I, Long Tao, swear in the name of my soul..."

After hearing such a long vow, Ling Xiao casually threw six maps to Long Tao: "I'm so straightforward, you should believe that I won't rely on your last two maps, right?"

"This..." Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to leave, Long Tao looked anxious: "Your Excellency, it's better..."

Ling Xiao waved her hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything with you businessmen."

Ling Xiao raised three fingers, and made an oath that he promised earlier, nothing more than saying that if the other party fulfilled these conditions, he would hand over the last two maps to the other party.

Seeing that Ling Xiao also made a heavy oath, Long Tao smiled reassuringly: "Your Excellency, you can leave with your sister."

"Sister?" Long Yuxuan smiled coldly, just now Long Tao was working hard with Ling Xiao and herself, it was good, she was her sister, and she forgot that Ling Xiao slapped him twice just now.

Hmph, there really isn't a single good thing in the Long family.

"Let's go." Long Yuxuan didn't bother to pay attention to Long Tao, and pulled Ling Xiao away quickly.

When the two returned to the hall on the top floor of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

In Long Yuxuan's subconscious mind, she originally thought that Ling Xiao would comfort her, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao just glanced at her indifferently, and hummed with deep resentment: "Didn't I tell you to take the ones you can take with you?" Do everyone take it? Do you think my words are deaf ears?"

Long Yuxuan couldn't help being furious, and shouted tremblingly: "I want you to take care of it!"

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't continue to sneer at Long Yuxuan, because he saw the tears in Long Yuxuan's eyes.

She actually cried? !

Yes, the strong woman Long Yuxuan cried, crying very sadly and desperately.

The white veil fell off naturally, revealing the desolate face of tearful pear blossoms, which made Ling Xiao feel distressed for a while.

Without saying anything else, Ling Xiao stepped forward and gently hugged Long Yuxuan.

Long Yuxuan leaned on Ling Xiao's shoulder very relaxedly, crying louder than before.

The long-term depression caused Long Yuxuan to burst out at this moment. After all, due to Lao Luo's betrayal, the only person Long Yuxuan is closest to now is Ling Xiao, a man she has never met several times.

Ling Xiao gently stroked Long Yuxuan's silky long hair, without saying a word, letting Long Yuxuan weep her clothes until it was soaked, Long Yuxuan stopped crying.

Suddenly, Long Yuxuan raised her head, looked at Ling Xiao with resentment, and asked leisurely, "Who is Yu'er?"
