Chapter C189
"Haha!" Presumably, this is the famous Ling Xiao! I've always heard of Young Master Ling Xiao's mighty name, and now that I've met you, it's exactly as the rumors say! I am Sun Xia, and this is Qian Bao, Lu Yu and a few others, Tie Jin, Fang Zheng, Gao Fei! The person who spoke just so happened to be Sun Xia!
"Oh? These must be the young elites of the Eastwood City's three great families! It's really my pleasure to meet you! " Ling Xiao said passionately.
"Please forgive me for visiting you late at night, Sir Ling Xiao!" Sun Xia said very politely.
"To be honest, I really don't know much about it! Brother Sun, you might as well tell us! " Ling Xiao's interest was piqued.
After seeing Ling Xiao being so interested, Sun Xia paused for a moment, then said to Ling Xiao: "The Zhao Family has already been the number one family in the Donglin County for many years, even without the Supreme Secret Realm experts above, they are still much stronger than us, which is why in these past few years, our three great families have no choice but to join forces, in order to barely be able to resist the Zhao Family!" Speaking to this point, Sun Xia also felt a little helpless.
"Oh? Is the Zhao Family's background so deep? " Ling Xiao asked suspiciously.
"I'm afraid they are not aware of this, but the Zhao Family is extremely ambitious. After stabilizing the number one family in Donglin County, the Zhao Family has been in constant contact with the Regional Academy. They have been wanting to stay in the Capital and become like a few giants in the Capital!" Qian Bao continued.
"In that case, the Zhao Family definitely has someone to rely on. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to survive in this state!" Ling Xiao said.
"That's right!" A few years ago, we found out that the Zhao Family secretly received a respected elder from the Shadow Devil Palace, and it was precisely after that that the Zhao Family left in one go, surpassing us, the other three great families, and became the number one family in the Donglin County. " Sun Xia continued.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he could faintly understand that the reason the Zhao Family could become the number one family was probably because of the Shadow Devil Palace.
"So you're saying, the Zhao Family only rose in power after the Shadow Devil Palace intervened?" Ling Xiao asked.
"That's right, before, the Shadow Devil Palace actually went to look for our family, but how could we cooperate with the Shadow Devil Palace? Furthermore, at that time, the Shadow Devil Palace had just fought a battle with the Dongxuan Sect, and at that time, who would dare to risk offending the Dongxuan Sect and cooperate with the Shadow Devil Palace? This was undoubtedly like playing with fire and burning their own flames. Sun Xia still knew a lot.
"I think I understand. The reason you guys came here tonight was to cooperate with me, right?" Ling Xiao had already guessed it the moment they had arrived.
Sun Xia and the rest all revealed apologetic smiles, but did not deny it.
"That's right, we came here to see if there is any possibility of cooperating with Sir Ling Xiao!" Lu Yu stared fixedly at Ling Xiao.
"Hehe!" Actually, what I want to tell you is, even if I don't work with you guys, I still have a way. At the very least, I still have the ability to protect myself. Ling Xiao asked.
"Ahem!" Maybe Sir Ling Xiao has his own trump card, but I believe that with the help of the three great families, it will be even easier for you to deal with the Zhao Family, don't you think so? " Sun Xia was also a meticulous person.
"That being said, it is not that I must borrow your strength. Besides, I may not truly trust you!" Ling Xiao's eyes were very clear.
"Then would you consider looking for a partner?" Sun Xia continued to ask.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, but Ling Xiao did not say anything, while Li Jingyun and the rest started to look at the people in front of them warily.
"Do you want to fight me here?" Ling Xiao said while beaming.
"Hehe!" He didn't dare to do that, and there was no need. Forget it, you win. Actually, it can be said that we have a request for you! We are also helpless! " Sun Xia finally let go of his words.
Sun Xia was not sure what Ling Xiao actually wanted to do, and since it was the first night that the Foundation Establishment stage and the rest were here, he did not say anything more. He then bid farewell to Ling Xiao and prepared to bring the few of them back.
Ling Xiao did not have any expression as he watched the few of them leave.
After they left, Li Jingyun and the others did not understand why Ling Xiao did not agree.
"Ling Xiao, what they said is not wrong. With their help, we can indeed reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble!" As Ling Xiao's big brother, Li Jingyun opened his mouth.
"Big brother, you guys might not know, although I know why they are here, but I still need to investigate this matter. I admit that with their help, we can reduce our pressure and losses, but when they were lecturing about the Zhao Family, they weren't very detailed! "What if that's what they're trying to get at?" Ling Xiao said in a serious tone.
"So that's how it is. It seems that we've thought of many things too simply!" Li Jingyun and the rest all nodded their heads.
"That's nothing. If they really came with sincerity, then I don't mind agreeing to them. The key is, if they want to use us to fight, what would they do?" Therefore, we cannot agree to this matter so casually. " Ling Xiao explained to everyone.
After leaving Ling Xiao's residence, Sun Xia and the rest gathered together.
"Brother Sun, after the conversation just now, what do you think of Ling Xiao?" Qian Bao and the others asked.
"It's hard to say right now, but what is certain is that the other party is a person who is hiding his strength, and the other party did not hastily agree. It can be seen that Ling Xiao is a person who is courageous and scheming, not only is he monstrous in talent, his intelligence is peerless, and it is unwise for him to be such an enemy. Furthermore, the other party has hinted that we are not sincere, so if we want to truly cooperate with Ling Xiao, we still need to show sufficient sincerity!" Sun Xia sighed.
"Why do you say that, is this Ling Xiao really that powerful?" Lu Yu asked.
"I think so. When I said that the other party was related to the Shadow Devil Palace, I carefully observed Ling Xiao, and realized that there was not a trace of surprise in his eyes, as if he had already known it for a long time. It can be seen that the other party is not afraid of the Zhao Family. Sun Xia explained to everyone.
"Then what should we do next?" Someone like Ling Xiao would either become a true friend or be killed in one blow! However, it is clear that we do not have that kind of strength and influence right now, so we are still not able to stand against Ling Xiao! This is more beneficial for everyone. " Sun Xia continued to speak.
Just then, a Sun family member came to Sun Xia's residence and reported to him, "Reporting to Young Master, we've gathered some information regarding Ling Xiao."
"Read it!" Sun Xia said indifferently.
"Yes!" Ling Xiao was a member of the Cang Yun County of Heavenly Sun City, and his father was Ling Zhentian. Ling Xiao had just become famous during the Ling Family Martial Meet. After that, he led the Ling Family and roamed the Void Spirit Wonderland, obtaining enough benefits for the two great families, to cause a phenomenon in the sky and earth in the Void Spirit Wonderland, and to step onto the stars to ascend to the top. Then came the great battle of ten thousand years ago, when the Blood Demon was severely injured, and finally, after the Void Spirit Wonderland. When the Shadow Devil Palace attacked, Ling Zhentian and the others released their might, Ling Zhentian cut off the arm of a big boss from the Shadow Devil Palace, and the other cultivator who was at the peak of the Shadow Devil Palace's Supreme Secret Realm was killed by Li Yunlong on the spot! " At this moment, even the servants were trembling in fear as they recited the words.
"Anything else?" Sun Xia endured the shock in his heart.
"Also, Ling Xiao's Dantian was destroyed by a Shadow Devil Palace after the Ling Family Martial Meet, and the next time he will be bringing the two great families to the Void Spirit Wonderland!" The servant was shocked speechless.
"Hiss!" What? This Ling Xiao is actually so amazing? Was he even human? Even if his dantian was destroyed, he could still continue to cultivate, and step into the Metamorphosis Secret Realm at the age of twelve! What a monstrous existence this was! It seemed like this time, the Zhao Clan was finished. They had actually offended such a person with limitless potential. From today onwards, no one is allowed to offend anyone who is related to Ling Xiao! " Sun Xia said.
"Brother Sun, if Ling Xiao is really like that, then what we did before was really a joke. No wonder Ling Xiao was so confident back then, he basically didn't need our help!" Qian Bao began to talk.
"NO!" Ling Xiao is still in his sensitive period, so I do not know how the Zhao Family will treat Ling Xiao, but providing timely help is better than adding flowers to the blossoms, so matters of the Alliance are bound to happen! " Sun Xia sighed and said.
"Hehe!" Brother Sun is the best! " A few people chimed in.
"Then let's decide it that way! Tomorrow, after getting all the gifts and sincerity, we will go and find Ling Xiao again. This time, we must definitely win over such a person with limitless potential! " Sun Xia instructed the few of them.
