Chapter 14974 You're really good at fooling people.
"A mistake?" Long Muyu was stunned, her face turning slightly red.
This sacred rune array is indeed copied. There is a secret realm in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, and there is a sacred rune array at the entrance of that secret realm, which needs to be deciphered in order to enter.
This sacred rune array was copied from there.
She even had someone from the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, who was skilled in sacred runes, copy it, but they still made a mistake, which was quite embarrassing.
“Hmm, I guess this sacred rune array is used to prevent intrusion. Unfortunately, there are thousands of ways to draw the stroke you copied incorrectly. It will take me time to restore it. It would be better to take me directly to the main body of the sacred rune array.”
Ling Xiao nodded.
Long Muyu pondered for a long time before finally saying, "There's not much time left. Let's eat something first, and then I'll take you to see that thing!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a defensive holy rune array of a secret realm. Are you sure you can let me go? Aren't you afraid I have ulterior motives?" Ling Xiao laughed.
"Don't worry! Although you have many flaws, there's one thing I really admire about you: you're loyal, principled, and won't betray your allies in a critical moment, even if that ally once tried to kill you!"
"Back then, Xiang Ying almost killed you. If it weren't for the mayor of the underworld town saving you, you would have really died. But since you formed an alliance, you were actually willing to risk your life to save Xiang Ying, even facing so many experts from the Demon Soul Clan. I admire you very much."
"The reason I let you go in the first place was because I saw this rare quality in you: a person who would fight to the death for a former enemy would never stab an ally in the back. Cooperating with you may not always be the right thing to do, but at least I don't have to worry about the Tianlong Kingdom being betrayed by you!"
Long Muyu's words revealed the key to her true willingness to cooperate with Ling Xiao.
It wasn't that I was fooled, but rather that I felt Ling Xiao was a trustworthy person.
Ling Xiao sighed, "I don't know if I value relationships, but I'm the kind of person who's extremely protective of my own, and I probably won't change that in this lifetime. I always repay even the smallest kindness from others with boundless gratitude."
“I know that’s why I’m cooperating with you and letting you know the secrets of my Heavenly Dragon Kingdom’s secret realm. I wouldn’t dare to do this with anyone else.”
Hearing this, Ling Xiao felt relieved. Although he had not yet met the King of Tianlong Kingdom, he would do his best to facilitate the cooperation since Long Muyu had agreed.
Even if Tianlong Kingdom doesn't cooperate, becoming friends with a prodigy like Long Muyu would still be a considerable gain, making the trip worthwhile.
"Don't be too happy yet. Even if my father agrees to the alliance, given his personality, he is unlikely to send strong people to assist you, much less fight to the death with the Demon Soul Clan. At most, he will remain neutral and stop helping the Demon Soul Clan. After all, he would not risk the fate of the entire Heavenly Dragon Kingdom for you!"
Long Muyu reminded him.
"I know and I understand, but what about you? If I were really in danger, would you help me?"
Ling Xiao asked with amusement.
He thought Long Muyu would refuse outright, but to his surprise, after careful consideration, Long Muyu said, "If it were me, I would help you. It's not easy to make friends, and I firmly believe that with you in the future, Tianlong Kingdom will be better off."
"Thanks! I'm honored to be your friend."
Ling Xiao said solemnly.
"Alright, you don't need to sit so formally. In short, Tianlong Kingdom won't openly help you in the future, but it might help you secretly."
Long Muyu laughed.
"Understood. In fact, the best-case scenario is that the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom doesn't help the Demon Soul Clan."
He didn't have high expectations for this trip, and it's already a stroke of luck that he achieved this goal.
"Alright, I'll have someone prepare some food. After we eat, we'll go check out the secret realm. I guarantee you'll like it!"
Long Muyu got up and told the palace maids to prepare the meal.
"That's a secret realm of your Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, is it alright for me to go?"
"If there's a problem, I say you can go in, and you can go in. Besides, if you don't help us break that sacred rune array, no one can get in. I'm not afraid of anyone having any complaints."
Long Muyu was very confident.
"That's good. Could you tell me about the general situation of this secret realm?"
"Of course, that's possible. Our Tianlong Kingdom has discovered this secret realm for hundreds of years. Over the years, we have tried to enter it many times, but we have not succeeded. Perhaps it's because the level of the Saint Rune Masters this year is not high enough. In fact, we even invited Dean Yao Tianji of the Saint Rune Academy, but it was no use."
"Yao Tianji said that unless one possesses the skills of a seven-star advanced Saint Rune Master, it is impossible to break this Saint Rune Array."
"I see. So if I break the formation and go inside, how should I distribute what I get?" Ling Xiao needed to figure this out.
Some things need to be made clear beforehand, otherwise there will definitely be trouble later.
"It's simple, the items you get are a matter of chance, whoever gets them keeps them."
Long Muyu was very generous.
"You'll regret this, I usually have a lot of good luck," Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"My luck isn't bad either, so don't worry. What I say goes, and even my father can't change it!"
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that. I've seen that sacred rune array. Although it's complex, I should be able to crack it without much trouble."
Ling Xiao was quite confident, after all, his level of Saint Runes was definitely among the top in the Chaotic Martial World.
Long Muyu got up to say goodbye, saying that she was going to prepare the teleportation array because the secret realm was not far from here, and flying would take too much time. If she used the teleportation array, she could arrive instantly.
Ling Xiao was then arranged to have a meal and wait.
"Hehe, your persuasive skills have really improved! Even someone as smart as Long Muyu was completely fooled by you. Impressive!"
With no one around, Xia Ming emerged from the magic needle space, eating his food while laughing.
"Sister Xia Ming, you're slandering me. How did I lie to you? Didn't you hear Long Muyu say that she agreed to cooperate with me because I'm a loyal and righteous person? Even good food can't shut you up."
Ling Xiao was speechless.
"Tch, I almost believed you. If I hadn't been following you the whole time, I wouldn't have been fooled by you. You have such a silver tongue, you can make the living sound like the dead, and the dead sound like the living."
Xia Ming said dismissively.
"Then tell me, is it true that the Demon Lord's Treasure contains treasures? Is it true that it can drastically increase a martial artist's strength? Is it true that the Demon Soul Clan is eyeing the Demon Lord's Treasure? Is it true that they are desperately trying to kill me to seize the key? In what way have I lied?"
Ling Xiao was still unconvinced.
"Come on, you deliberately spoke ambiguously and vaguely, mixing in some lies to make it difficult for people to discern, so that Long Muyu would think you knew what was inside the Demon Lord's treasure, and that you could open it and take the treasure at any time. Otherwise, do you think she would cooperate with you just because you are loyal and righteous?" (End of Chapter)
