Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

Ling Xiao carefully observed the surroundings. After confirming that there were no traces of people, he took a deep breath and quietly entered the grotto using the method taught to him by Mr. Jiu.

The cave was dark and silent, with only the faint sound of breathing echoing. Ling Xiao walked in the direction of the sound and finally saw Jiu Lao lying on the stone bed. At this time, Jiu Lao was seriously injured, his face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak.

Ling Xiao was very happy that Jiu Lao was not dead. To him, Jiu Lao was a friend and even a benefactor.

"Who?" When Jiu Lao heard the slight movement, his brows furrowed and a trace of alertness flashed in his eyes. He was originally immersed in the process of healing, trying to use his weak internal strength to repair the severely damaged meridians and internal organs. However, this sudden sound broke the tranquility he had managed to create.

He tried hard to support his tired body and see clearly this sudden uninvited guest. But the severity of the injury was far beyond his imagination. Every time he tried to exert force, severe pain would come in like a tide, dragging him back to the reality of being unable to lie down.

After several attempts, he had no choice but to give up. He could only lie on his back and stare closely at the approaching figure.

"It's me, Ling Xiao!" A familiar and firm voice sounded in his ears. Ling Xiao's figure gradually became clearer in the dim grotto. He walked quickly to Jiu Lao, squatted down, and looked at Jiu Lao's injuries with concern.

The moment Jiu Lao saw Ling Xiao, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but immediately after, there was more joy and relief. He never thought that when he was most helpless and in danger, Ling Xiao would come to him.

At this moment, he felt that his choice was not wrong, and Ling Xiao was indeed someone worthy of his trust and trust.

"Why are you here?" Although Jiu Lao's voice was weak, it was full of gratitude and relief. He knew that Ling Xiao's arrival not only brought him hope, but also gave him the motivation to live.

Ling Xiao did not answer, but silently began to treat Jiu Lao's wounds. He carefully cut open the torn clothes, revealing the hideous wounds. Then, he took out the elixir he carried with him and gave it to Jiu Lao.

Under Ling Xiao's careful care, Jiu Lao's injuries gradually stabilized, and the paleness on his face gradually faded away.

Looking at Ling Xiao's busy figure, Jiu Lao's heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. He knew that he had met a friend he could truly rely on. In this crisis-ridden world, this trust and friendship are more precious than anything else.

"Why are you helping me?" Under Ling Xiao's careful treatment, Jiu Lao's expression gradually changed from the original solemnity to a trace of gentleness.

He raised his head and stared at Ling Xiao deeply and intently through his turbid eyes, as if he wanted to see through the young man's true thoughts: "We have only met a few times, why are you so helpful?"

When Ling Xiao saw this, the corner of his mouth raised a cynical arc. He shrugged gently and replied in a relaxed tone deliberately: "If I told you that I was trying to save your legacy, would you believe it? After all, you After all, he is also a veteran of Tianxiahui. He must have accumulated a lot of treasures and wealth over the years. If I can get it, wouldn’t it mean that I would become rich overnight and reach the top of my life? "

After hearing this, Mr. Jiu's expression suddenly became serious. He was silent for a moment, as if weighing something.

Then, he slowly took off a simple storage ring from his waist. The ring shone faintly in the dim light, as if it contained endless secrets.

He handed the ring to Ling Xiao, his voice low and firm: "Here, here are all my savings. It contains one billion medium-grade spiritual stones, although this is not much for me, because I am big Part of the wealth is used to support my experiments and research.”

"But even so, these spirit stones are enough for you to use for a while. In addition, the ring also contains many human treasures and even an earth treasure. I believe you will use them."

Ling Xiao looked at the storage ring in front of him and was stunned for a moment. He originally just wanted to make a joke and liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect Jiu Lao to take his joke so seriously and actually spend all his savings.

He felt a little overwhelmed, but at the same time he was deeply moved by Jiu Lao's generosity and trust. He waved his hands hurriedly, trying to refuse: "You...you are serious...I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"

Jiu Lao shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a deep helplessness and emotion.

He said slowly: "This time I was able to struggle back from the edge of life and death. It is indeed a great luck. But people always have lucky and unlucky times. Next time, maybe I really won't be able to escape. Rather than let these precious things The resources and wealth fell into the hands of the greedy and shameless people in the Empress Palace. After all, you were the only one who was willing to help me when I was in the most difficult time."

Listening to Jiu Lao's words, Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart. He touched his nose, with a sly smile on his face: "Hey, Mr. Jiu, what you said is right. I'm not a saint. I'm helping you, of course, because of your wealth. But having said that, you Don’t worry, I won’t waste these things.”

Jiu Lao smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Ling Xiao: "No matter what your original intention is, just accept these things. In addition to the resources and money you need, this storage ring also contains There are notes and insights from my lifelong research on sacred patterns.”

"These are my years of hard work. I hope you can get inspiration from them and carry forward the way of the holy pattern. In addition, there is a treasure inherited from my Shangguan family in the East China Sea. It was passed down to me by my ancestor and is of great significance. You don't have to care about the opinions of the Shangguan family, but you must keep it carefully and don't expose it easily, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and pursuit."

The old man's expression at this moment was extremely solemn, as if he was entrusting his last wish. He sighed deeply, and his old eyes revealed a kind of powerlessness and determination.

He seemed to have understood that he was in an inescapable disaster. The empress was determined and she had never failed to kill anyone she wanted to kill.

"Shangguan Yu made a mistake this time, but we have all seen the means of the empress's palace. Next time, the person she sent may be more terrifying than Shangguan Yu." Jiu Lao's voice was low and heavy, and every word seemed to be engraved in the air, making it impossible to ignore.

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment. He felt the heaviness and helplessness in Jiu Lao's words. There was also a hint of determination.
