Chapter 57
Chapter 57 I always feel like something is not quite right between them.
No one outside knew that Ye Feng was the prince of the Taixuan Empire. Yet, Ling Xue’s gaze immediately locked onto Ye Feng.
It was a direct targeting—why?
A sense of unease arose in Ye Dingtian’s heart at this moment. Today, it seemed… Ye Feng wouldn’t escape either.
Swoosh…
At that moment, a few more massive flying beasts soared in from the distant sky.
All eyes turned toward them, noticing the densely packed soldiers on the backs of the beasts, forming a mighty army.
“Is that… the Qianling Ancient Clan? Have they come too?”
“Could they be planning to join forces with the Taixuan Empire?”
“It’s useless. Even if the Qianling Ancient Clan joins, theTaixuan Empire is still doomed to defeat!”
“Today marks the end of the Taixuan Empire. The Qianling Ancient Clan joining in will only send them to their deaths!”
“…”
Voices of curiosity echoed from the spectators at the city’s edge.
Back during the Cangyun Mountain incident, seven major forces opposed Ling Xue.
None of the others dared to support theTaixuan Empire.
On theTaixuan Empire’s side, Ye Dingtian and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.
Was the Qianling Ancient Clan here to aid them?
Though adding the Qianling Ancient Clan wouldn’t change the outcome, it would bring a sliver of hope!
Of course, Ye Dingtian and the others desperately desired any assistance they could get.
However, just as everyone thought this and believed the Qianling Ancient Clan would stand with theTaixuan Empire, the flying beasts stopped behind the army of the Demon Sect!
Then, Qian Chen and Qian Xue leaped forward to stand before Ling Xue.
“The Qianling Ancient Clan pledges to fight for the Demon Lord!”
Qian Chen bowed deeply.
This scene caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically!
Across from them, Ye Dingtian and the others felt their hearts sink.
The Qianling Ancient Clan wasn’t here to support theTaixuan Empire?
Instead, they were siding with Ling Xue.
TheTaixuan Empire was already no match for the Demon Sect.
Now, with the Qianling Ancient Clan joining the Demon Sect, the Empire had absolutely no chance!
After all, the Qianling Ancient Clan alone was nearly on par with the Taixuan Empire.
Back at Cangyun Mountain, the Qianling Ancient Clan had also taken action.
Was Ling Xue planning to spare them?
Why?
In the air, before Ling Xue, Qian Xue stepped forward.
With a thought, an ancient glass lamp emitting nine-colored radiance appeared in her hands.
She held the lamp with both hands and presented it to Ling Xue, saying, “This is the item you wanted, Demon Lord.”
Ling Xue’s gaze landed on the lamp in Qian Xue’s hands, and a slight smile played on his lips. He reached out and took the lamp from her.
With a thought, the lamp merged into his body, entering his Qi Sea.
Within his Qi Sea, the glass lamp and a black ancient tower resonated with each other. Now, Ling Xue had another powerful trump card.
In a critical moment, both of these items could prove invaluable.
After putting away the lamp, Ling Xue’s gaze turned to Qian Xue, lingering on her delicate, exquisite face.
He lifted his hand and gently tilted her snowy chin. “You made the right choice,” he said.
This scene, of course, was witnessed by Yun Luoxi on the city’s edge.
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
Who is that girl? What’s her relationship with Ling Xue?
Why are there always so many beauties around him?
In the air, Qian Xue’s bright eyes looked into Ling Xue’s as she said, “Demon Lord… I have a request.”
Hearing this, Qian Chen immediately shot her a warning glance.
Now’s not the time for that!
We should first stabilize our relationship with Ling Xue, and then discuss such matters later.
However, Ling Xue only smiled faintly. “I know,” he said.
As he spoke, his hand remained under Qian Xue’s chin, and his thumb gently traced over her soft, moist lips.
“In the future… I will help you find the person you wish to meet,” he said.
After all, he planned to venture into the other realms, and finding Qian Xue’s mother would only be a matter of convenience.
Hearing this, Qian Xue’s heart leaped with joy.
“Thank you, Demon Lord!” she said hurriedly.
Qian Chen was also delighted but slightly puzzled.
How did Ling Xue know everything?
Qian Xue hadn’t even mentioned what she wanted, yet he already agreed to help.
Does he have mind-reading abilities?
“This is what you deserve,” Ling Xue said, withdrawing his hand. “From now on, you will stay in the Demon Sect, by my side.”
Qian Xue, with her delicate beauty, was no less stunning than Xiao Xiangyu and the others.
It would be quite fitting for her to stay by his side, serving him alongside Xiao Xiao.
“Yes!”
Qian Xue nodded lightly. She was now entirely willing to remain by Ling Xue’s side, no matter what he asked her to do.
After all, he had promised to help her find her mother.
Anything Ling Xue said, he would undoubtedly fulfill.
Below, at the edge of the capital, Yun Luoxi continued watching Ling Xue, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, lost in thought.
Beside her, Liu Chengshuang, who had been observing Yun Luoxi’s subtle expressions, mused, What’s the relationship between Ling Xue and her?
Something feels off between the two of them!
After all, Yun Luoxi indeed had a celestial beauty and demeanor, and in terms of looks and temperament, she and Ling Xue made quite the pair…
In midair, Ling Xue exhaled slowly and then raised his hand.
Now that everyone was present, it was time… to strike!
He waved his hand lightly and gave a calm order: “Leave no one alive.”
Swoosh…
As soon as his words fell, the Demon Sect army surged forward.
“Prepare for battle!”
On the opposite side, Ye Dingtian roared and led the Imperial army to meet them head-on.
The Qianling Ancient Clan, led by Qian Chen, also joined the Demon Sect’s assault.
Meanwhile, Ling Xue’s gaze once again turned to Ye Feng.
Let his subordinates handle the fall of theTaixuan Empire.
Today, the first thing he intended to do… was kill the protagonist!
Sensing Ling Xue’s gaze on him for the second time, Ye Feng’s heart trembled.
Why does it feel like this Demon Lord has it out for me?
Swoosh!
In the next instant, a terrifying wave of sword energy erupted from Ling Xue,
and its target… was Ye Feng!
Ling Xue’s first strike was aimed to kill Ye Feng!
And now… no one could save him!
