Although the Ling family still has a group of elders supporting it, Ling Zhen has no successor. The Demon-Suppressing Palace has no strong figure to support it. It is like a huge piece of fat meat, attracting the covetousness of countless people.
Up to now, the Demon-Suppressing King, who originally commanded the world's armies, has become a figurehead in power.
As for the external military forces, the military power has been controlled by General Chen Weishan!
The royal guards of the royal capital are controlled by the commander-in-chief Meng Ao!
Today, the Demon-Suppressing Palace still has some influence from the Demon-Suppressing King and receives a large amount of rewards from the royal family every year, but its influence is no longer as great as before.
Therefore, the eldest elder of the Ling family was eager to recommend someone from the Ling family to inherit the title of the Demon Suppressing King and revive the glory of the Demon Suppressing King's Mansion.
In addition to his selfish motives, wanting his grandson to inherit the title of Demon Suppressing King, he also wanted to revitalize the Ling family.
Ling Xiao's steps were steady and powerful. He crossed several streets and gradually became familiar with the surrounding scenes.
Ahead is the Demon-Suppressing King’s Palace!
Ling Xiao looked ahead at the imposing and majestic building, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes.
"I, Ling Xiao, am back from the Demon Suppression Palace!"
…
Just when Ling Xiao was heading to the Demon Suppression King's Palace, in the inn of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate.
The atmosphere was heavy, with a faint sense of solemnity.
Inside the house, Elder Heqing sat in the middle with a slightly frown on his face.
The many disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect below all had expressions of shock and anger in their eyes.
In the end, their eyes all fell on She Tianluo, with a hint of awe in their eyes.
"Tianluo, is the news accurate?" asked Elder Heqing.
"No mistake!"
At this moment, She Tianluo exuded a cold aura all over his body, with raging anger in his eyes. Wisps of cold murderous intent lingered in the void like blade beams.
"Now we can be sure that Wu Xin died at the hands of Ling Xiao! Two days ago, I sent Senior Brother Yu and Junior Brother Wang to Qinghua City to bring Wu Xin back, but they disappeared without a trace and there has been no news since then. I also suspect that they may have died at the hands of Ling Xiao!"
She Tianluo's voice was extremely cold, yet contained a hint of fierce murderous intent that made one tremble all over.
Two days ago, She Tianluo sent Yu Lang and Junior Brother Wang to Qinghua City to bring She Wuxin back, but he didn't expect that the two would never return.
She Tianluo was worried, so he sent two disciples from the Wanshou Sect. As a result, they found two people who had escaped the net from the Longhu Escort Agency in Qinghua City, and also learned about She Wuxin's death.
Upon hearing the news of his brother's death, She Tianluo was almost going crazy. After several inquiries, he finally found out that the person who killed his brother was Ling Xiao.
Considering the unexplained disappearance of Yu Lang and Junior Brother Wang, She Tianluo became even more suspicious.
And during the past few days since Ling Xiao returned to the royal capital, he has not been low-key. He has been very prominent in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and Taibai Restaurant. Therefore, the Wanshou Sect easily found out that the Ling Xiao who killed She Wuxin is most likely Ling Xiao, the son of the Demon Suppression King Ling Zhen!
"It's unbelievable! It is said that Ling Xiao was a useless person who couldn't practice three years ago. After the Demon King disappeared, he was exiled to a small sect. I didn't expect that three years later, he actually possessed a combat power comparable to that of a Grandmaster! This boy is really very scheming!"
Elder Heqing sighed.
He only thought that Ling Xiao had been hiding his abilities three years ago, and had been lying dormant in a small sect. In just three years, he had broken through from the Kaimai Realm to the Grandmaster Realm. This talent was simply too terrifying!
But if he only knew that it took Ling Xiao only about half a year to reach his current level, it would probably be even more unbelievable.
"But he is so bold to dare to kill the disciples of the Myriad Beast Sect!"
There was a hint of coldness in He Qing's eyes, and the aura of the Heavenly Man Realm was immediately retracted, emitting a vast power of heaven and earth.
“Elder, today is said to be the day of the year-end competition of the Demon Suppression Palace. I think Ling Xiao will definitely go. He has endured this much, probably just to make a splash in the year-end competition! But he dared to kill Wuxin. Today next year will be his death anniversary. I will make him fall from the clouds when he is at his peak, and let him die in torture!”
She Tianluo's eyes were cold and murderous intent was as real as substance. He suddenly clenched his hands, and a black divine light burst out, dark and evil.
"Okay, let's go to the Demon King's Palace today. I want to see if this kid who dares to kill Wuxin is really that brave!"
He Qing also sneered and made a decision.
Wanshoumen is a holy place of martial arts, superior to the four ancient countries and many small kingdoms. The disciples of Wanshoumen actually died outside. This is absolutely something they cannot tolerate. The blood debt must be repaid with blood!
If Ling Xiao kills She Wuxin, he must be prepared to pay the price with his life!
…
The royal capital, the imperial city.
A palace wrapped in exotic flowers looks magnificent and majestic, with three big characters "Suzaku Palace" written on it.
Zhuque Palace is the palace of the little princess Xia Hongxiu, which is more magnificent than the palaces of many princes.
Xia Hongxiu was wearing a set of red close-fitting soft armor, which perfectly highlighted her perfect figure.
She has a slender figure, round and strong thighs, a slender waist, and skin as white as jade. At this moment, her hair is tied up on top of her head, and she holds the long sword at her waist, looking heroic and heroic, with a unique beauty.
"Are you really going to cancel the engagement today? This would be too much of a blow to him. Wouldn't you consider a gentler approach?"
Next to Xia Hongxiu was a woman dressed in white, her entire body shrouded in the cold moonlight, and her face could not be seen clearly.
But her whole person exudes an ethereal and ethereal temperament, as if she is a goddess from the Moon Palace, banished to the mortal world, not affected by the worldly affairs.
"Senior Sister, today is the Ling Family's year-end competition. Ling Xiao has been in the Changsheng Sect for the past three years. I'm sure he will come back on such an important day. Only if Ling Xiao personally agrees to cancel the engagement, I won't have to marry him.
Given the relationship between my father and the Demon King, I know he would not be able to bring himself to talk about canceling the engagement. I will be sixteen in a few days, and this is my only chance! So even if it will hurt Ling Xiao a little, I can't care!
I don't want to marry someone I don't love!"
Xia Hongxiu spoke each word firmly.
"All right!"
The Moon Goddess sighed softly. She also knew that her junior sister was stubborn and would do what she decided to do, so she did not try to stop her.
Not long after, Xia Hongxiu and Yueshen got on the carriage together, and under the protection of the female warriors of the Suzaku Camp, they left the imperial city and headed towards the Demon-Suppressing Palace.
