"I see. It seems that the grudges between the Emperor's Palace and the Empress's Palace are indeed worthy of a warrior like me to participate." Ling Xiao's lips curled up with an indifferent smile, and his eyes flashed with a bit of cunning and determination.

He nodded lightly and accepted the invitation. This decision was not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration.

He thought to himself that since the other party did not take action immediately, he was obviously prepared and had a plan against him.

And he is currently in a critical period of practicing the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Kung Fu, which requires a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as assistance. As an ancient and mysterious force, the Imperial Palace must contain many treasures. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him.

A huge temptation.

More importantly, Ling Xiao knew that although he was strong, facing these two strong men from the imperial palace, he had little chance of winning in a head-on fight. He was not a reckless person, he knew how to judge the situation, and chose to join at this moment.

The imperial palace is not only a kind of protection for oneself, but also an investment in the future.

"I'm sure." Ling Xiao's voice was firm and clear, and every word revealed unquestionable determination. There was no hesitation or flinching in his eyes, only the desire for unknown challenges and the persistence for victory.

However, the man's reaction was beyond Ling Xiao's expectation. He was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Ling Xiao to agree so easily.

In his imagination, Ling Xiao should be a cunning, unpredictable character who would put forward various conditions or engage in bargaining. But the Ling Xiao in front of him seemed to have seen through their true thoughts, and acted in a kind of way.

I accepted the invitation with an almost free and easy attitude.

"Is this kid really just compromising because he is afraid of our strength?" The man muttered to himself, with a flash of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

He was well aware of the rumors about Ling Xiao and knew that this young man was not just a creature of the pond. He was full of tricks and tricks, which had caused many masters to stumble. Now that he agreed so easily, it was hard for him to believe that it was just out of simplicity.

of fear.

"No! There must be a deep meaning behind this." The man was secretly alert, and he began to re-examine Ling Xiao. He realized that perhaps this young man had a more far-reaching plan and layout, and joining the Imperial Palace was just part of his plan.

It's just a move.

He was secretly vigilant in his heart, just like the undercurrent surging under the sea on the eve of a storm, and he was on high alert for every slight move of Ling Xiao. Behind this kid's smile, it seemed that there was a bottomless swamp hidden, which made him unable to

There is no doubt whether this is a sincere yearning or another carefully laid trap.

At that moment, anger and doubt intertwined into a complex web, almost tearing apart his rational defense line. His hands clenched fists unconsciously, and his fingertips turned slightly white from exertion, and he was almost about to burst out of suppression.

A long-standing impulse was to kill the seemingly harmless but unpredictable young man in front of him on the spot, lest he become a hidden danger to the imperial palace in the future.

But reason finally defeated impulse. He knew very well that he was on a mission to find out the truth. The destruction of the Ji family and the mysterious death of the head of the Huang family were all mysteries that weighed on his mind like boulders, making it impossible for him to act rashly.

The appearance of Ling Xiao may be the key to unraveling these mysteries. He must keep calm, bring this seemingly simple young man back to the imperial palace, and slowly interrogate him to uncover the secret behind him.

So, he took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and asked the question that troubled him in as calm a tone as possible, trying to find a clue from Ling Xiao's answer.

Ling Xiao's answer seemed relaxed and casual, as if he was completely unaware of the tension and hostility in the air. His smile was still bright, as if the warm sunshine in spring could melt all frost.

"What? I admire the Imperial Palace. Can't I join the Imperial Palace if I want to?" In this sentence, there is not only a sincere yearning for the Imperial Palace, but also a bit of teasing and provocation, making it difficult to grasp its true intention.

The woman on the side saw this and spoke coldly. Her voice was as biting as ice, but it also carried unquestionable majesty.

"Of course you can," she said, "but you have to remember that the Imperial Palace is not a place you can play around with. If you have other bad intentions, you are seeking your own death." After saying that, she waved her hand gently.

His figure instantly soared into the sky, like a phoenix spreading its wings, showing astonishing cultivation and momentum.

The man followed closely behind. His eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish. There was both trust and admiration for the woman and deep doubts about Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao followed them slowly, with that meaningful smile always on his face, as if he had everything under control. Although his steps were slow, he was extremely determined, as if he had already embarked on the path he had chosen.

, no matter whether the front is full of thorns or mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will move forward indomitably.

"Do you think his words are true or false? Is his cultivation in the realm of divine power genuine, or is he deliberately hiding his deeper strength in an attempt to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger in front of us?"

The man asked the woman next to him in a low voice through a voice transmission method, his tone revealing a bit of caution and doubt. His eyes glanced at Ling Xiao who was walking leisurely in the distance from time to time, secretly thinking about various things in his heart.

possibility.

Hearing the words, the woman's mouth raised a slight smile, and she also responded with a voice transmission: "In terms of cultivation, I can see that his breath is calm, and his spiritual power fluctuates naturally, and it doesn't seem like he is cheating. But as you said, he does give people a difficult feeling.

It feels elusive, as if there is some unknown secret hidden there. If senior brother is really interested, you might as well test it yourself and see what that kid is capable of?"

Her voice was soft and magnetic, but with a hint of subtle cunning, as if she was full of anticipation for the good show that was about to be staged.

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Testing? Let's forget it. Since this kid dares to come alone, he must have someone to rely on. If we really kill him by mistake, wouldn't the clues about the treasure be cut off? What's more, there are many agencies in the imperial palace.

, there are so many masters, even if he really has the ability to reach heaven and earth, once he steps into the sect, he will never be able to escape easily. How can the Imperial Palace be compared to the Ji family?"

Speaking of this, the man's tone was full of confidence and pride in the strength of the Imperial Palace. He knew very well that the Imperial Palace, as the overlord of one party, not only possessed countless natural resources and treasures, but also gathered many top powerhouses. Anyone who dared to challenge its majesty

will face unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, he decided to stay put for the time being and bring Ling Xiao back to the sect first, and then slowly reveal the secret behind him.
