Seeing that Long Yuxuan was surrounded by seven Violet Rank experts, and the one who dared to abduct her was actually just a Purple Rank without any trouble at all, Long Tao sneered coldly, and proudly said: "No reason, that's because Old Luo has always been my grandfather's most loyal subordinate. That year, your parents' whereabouts were left behind by Left Protector Zuo Xiao from the Seven Demonic Cult, I didn't think, haha."

Long Yuxuan was so angry that she spat out another mouthful of blood, "Why didn't you just kill me back then?"

Long Tao looked at Long Yuxuan with a face full of 'pity': "What do you think? If you had died back then, wouldn't your grandfather's faction have all escaped? This is called boiling frog in warm water. Haha, our Long family is business people. We naturally have to maximize the benefits, don't we?"

Long Yuxuan recalled that she had led this line of Long family's forces to painstakingly manage Xihe City all these years. She had never thought that she would end up marrying for someone else.

As she thought of this, Long Yuxuan's heart couldn't help but turn to ashes, and her heart filled with despair.

"Alright, since you understand, then go die in peace." A vicious look appeared on Long Tao's face. He was just about to order his subordinates to kill Long Yuxuan when he suddenly noticed something in the corner of his eyes. He immediately shouted, "Wait."

Ling Xiao was playing with two strange sheepskin scrolls in her hands. The mysterious sheepskin scroll was filled with an ancient aura. With one glance, one could tell that it was definitely extraordinary.

As a direct descendant of the Long family, how could Long Tao not recognize these two scrolls?

"Seal off the palace map of the Demon Soul Master." Long Tao was pleasantly surprised. As he looked at the two sheepskin scrolls in Ling Xiao's hands, his gaze became fervent.

Ling Xiao chuckled as she took out a fire piston and placed it on top of the two scrolls. She said in a nonchalant manner, "First Young Master Long, don't think of having your hands attack me directly. If I shake my hand, one or two parts of these two maps will be lit up …"

The six Violet Rank Spiritual Masters and Old Camel unleashed their Mental Energy attacks at the same time in an attempt to kill Ling Xiao in the shortest amount of time.

However, to their astonishment, they discovered that there was a black and a purple and a gold spiritual wisdom in Ling Xiao's mind. The moment their Mental Energy collided with the three of them, it immediately disappeared without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.

Mental attacks were actually ineffective against Ling Xiao.

The fastest mental attack was ineffective. If it were any other attack, Ling Xiao would definitely have the time to destroy the map in his hands. This was something that Long Tao was unwilling to see.

Ling Xiao felt that the seven of them had tried to attack her, so she could not help but say coldly, "Long Tao, are your subordinates so indifferent to your words?"

At this moment, Long Tao was also astonished. When he saw that Ling Xiao was about to light the two sheepskin scrolls, he immediately shouted, "Stop, whatever conditions you have in mind, just tell us."

Ling Xiao casually flipped through it as six other maps immediately appeared in her hands. It made Long Tao's eyes widen.

Eight pieces could be put together to form a complete sealed palace map. If he could obtain the treasures left behind by the Demon Soul Lord, then the position of the Long family's Patriarch would be nothing.

Seeing Long Tao's eyes on the sheepskin scroll in his hand, Ling Xiao knew that she had caught his interest. She chuckled and said, "Simple. You are a businessman. If you want to maximize the benefits, I will negotiate with you. Both of us must swear on the soul's name that we will make this deal."

Long Tao nodded his head firmly. As long as the conditions allow, he could swear an oath in the name of the soul.

"No problem, first tell me your conditions." As the eldest grandson of the Long family, he had seen countless treasures, but when he thought about the treasures on the eight maps, he still couldn't control his emotions.

Ling Xiao said in a very relaxed manner, "I can give you all eight maps in one go on the following conditions: First, you must permanently entrust West River City to Long Yuxuan. Your Long family must not intervene again and harm Long Yuxuan. Second, you must make everyone swear that you do not reveal that these eight maps came from me."

Hearing Ling Xiao's first two conditions, Long Tao frowned. The second condition would definitely not be a problem, but the first condition would be troublesome.

Grandpa has always been in charge of everything in the Long family. Coming to West River City to "take over" Long Yuxuan's business was also Grandpa's idea. To persuade Grandfather, it would be impossible without sufficient cost.

Of course, if he were to offer these eight maps directly, it would definitely not be a problem. However, the problem was that if he were to give these eight maps, other than receiving a few unimportant praises from his grandfather and some rewards that he had already disliked, he did not have any other benefits.

His grandfather only doted on his concubine's son. In the eyes of the leader of the Long family, a grandson like Long Tao was nothing but close subordinates.

Therefore, Long Tao definitely wouldn't hand over the map as a bargaining chip.

However, copying one or two of the eight diagrams and handing over the original one or two wasn't too much of a problem.

Thinking about that, Long Tao nodded, "Sure, I'll agree to the first two conditions."

Ling Xiao had never thought that Long Tao would reject her. She continued, "Thirdly, unless I play with your woman or want to kill you, your Long family absolutely cannot kill me."

Long Tao was furious. What kind of conditions did Ling Xiao have?

The ashen-faced Long Tao snorted, "No problem. If you still have any conditions, just say it quickly."

"One last condition..." Ling Xiao pointed at Camel and said coldly, "Forget about those six Violet Rank fellows. The people I hate the most in my life are the ones who betrayed me. If you kill him for me, these eight maps will all be yours."

What kind of person is Camel? People call him an old fox.

The moment he heard Ling Xiao's words, he knew that Long Tao would definitely trade his life for Ling Xiao's life. He turned around in a flustered manner and ran away, "Ling Xiao, Long Tao, just you wait. When I return to my old master's side and report this, I'll see if you can still act so arrogant."

Long Tao no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and said, "The four of you go kill that old dog and bring its corpse back to see me."

"Yes, Master." Four of the six Violet Rank Soul Masters flew out, chasing after Camel.

From Ling Xiao's point of view, Old Luo had torn open space to escape. However, for those guys at the same level as Old Luo, they were naturally able to grasp the direction he was heading towards.

Long Tao only sent four purple-level bodyguards to chase after Old Camel. On one hand, he felt that he could handle those four. On the other hand, Long Tao didn't think that Ling Xiao and Long Yuxuan in front of him posed any threat to him.

Although Ling Xiao was currently only Red Rank, after the two confrontations, Long Tao realized that the extent of this brat's terror was not due to the strength he displayed but due to his deep scheming.

Therefore, Long Tao had to leave two people to protect himself.

As for the two bald bodyguards, Long Tao completely ignored them. Those two guys were only Green Rank. They were only used to fool the second young master Hua, who only knew how to play with women.

Long Tao felt a little helpless. If it wasn't for the fact that his family was cursed, and their strongest cultivation level was only yellow level, he wouldn't have to worry about being threatened by others at all times.

Fortunately, their Long family was rich and powerful. Naturally, there would be many people working for them. This was their Long family's advantage.

She, who was already in dire straits, was just about to commit suicide when she never expected that Ling Xiao would be able to resolve her greatest crisis with just a few words. This caused Long Yuxuan to have no choice but to reacquaint herself with Ling Xiao.

Long ago, an old man surnamed Huo had told her a prophecy. Long Yuxuan gradually began to believe it.

This man might really be the man that had changed her life.

Ling Xiao looked like a ruffian, but in fact, there was nowhere that she did not reveal her astuteness and ruthlessness towards her enemies. Her concern for her. How many men like this could exist in this world?

Ling Xiao did not know that Long Yuxuan's thoughts had changed. Like Long Tao, her attention was focused on the four purple-rank soul masters that had just left.

Not long after, the four fellows appeared in front of Long Tao in a sorry state. They knelt down helplessly towards Long Tao and said, "The target has escaped. Master, please punish them."

Long Tao was flustered and exasperated as he shouted, "Trash!"

Ling Xiao chuckled, "First Young Master Long, how about this. You make a soul oath. If you can fulfill the other three conditions, I'll give you six maps. As for the remaining two, when you bring Old Camel's head to meet us, I'll hand them over to you."

Long Tao did not expect Ling Xiao to be so generous. Without a word, he raised three of his fingers and swore in the name of his soul, "I, Long Tao, swear in the name of my soul …"

After hearing such a long declaration, Ling Xiao tossed six maps to Long Tao. "I'm so straightforward. You should believe that I won't owe you the last two maps, right?"

"This..." Seeing that Ling Xiao was about to leave, Long Tao anxiously said, "It's best if you …"

Ling Xiao waved her hands impatiently. "Alright, alright. I really can't do anything to you merchants."

Ling Xiao raised her three fingers and made an oath that he had previously promised as well. It was nothing more than that after the other party had fulfilled these conditions, he would hand over the last two maps to her.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had also made a vow, Long Tao smiled in relief, "Sir, you can leave with elder sister."

"Elder sister." Just a moment ago, Long Tao was even risking his life with Ling Xiao and herself. There was something good about that. He was already a big sister and had forgotten that Ling Xiao had given him two slaps just now.

Heh heh, there really isn't a single good thing in the Long family.

"Let's go." Long Yuxuan could not be bothered with Long Tao anymore as she pulled Ling Xiao and quickly left.

When the two of them returned to the hall on the top floor of the West River Trading Company, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of hot blood.

In Long Yuxuan's subconscious, she had thought that Ling Xiao would comfort her a little. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao gave her a nonchalant look and said resentfully, "Didn't I tell you to bring everyone you can take with you? Do you take my words as wind passing by?"

Long Yuxuan could not help but become furious as she howled with a trembling voice, "Who cares."

Ling Xiao was immediately stunned. He did not continue to mock and ridicule Long Yuxuan because he saw the tears in her eyes.

She actually cried.

Yes, the strong woman, Long Yuxuan, cried. She cried very bitterly, despairingly.

The white veil naturally fell off, revealing a sad and beautiful face of a teary pear blossom, causing Ling Xiao's heart to ache.

Without saying anything else, Ling Xiao walked forward and gently embraced Long Yuxuan.

Long Yuxuan relaxed as she leaned on Ling Xiao's shoulder, crying even louder than before.

Long time suppressed had caused Long Yuxuan to erupt at this moment. After all, due to the betrayal of Old Camel, the only person that Long Yuxuan was closest to was Ling Xiao, a man that she had not seen many times before.

Ling Xiao gently caressed Long Yuxuan's silky, soft hair. She did not say a word and allowed Long Yuxuan to cry until her clothes were completely soaked. Only then did Long Yuxuan stop crying.

Suddenly, Long Yuxuan raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao resentfully. She asked in an unhurried manner, "Who is Yu'er?"
