Chapter 12913 Deep love between mother and son
In Ling Xiao's heart, the anger he felt towards his mother's imprisonment was like a flame in the fog, hot but unclear.

But at this moment, when he stepped over the heavy iron door, his eyes penetrated the dim cell and touched his mother's face, which looked particularly haggard due to years and suffering, the anger seemed to be ignited instantly, turning into a raging torrent, wrapped in an almost crazy murderous intent, surging in his chest.

The mother's hair was disheveled, and her eyes were flashing with indomitable spirit and helplessness. Her once gentle hands were now bound by cold chains, which looked particularly glaring, making Ling Xiao's heart ache.

He approached slowly, and every step seemed to step on his heart, painful but firm. In those deep eyes, besides anger, there was also a bit of determination and tragedy.

He gazed deeply at his mother, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart forever. His eyes showed not only endless love for his mother, but also fearlessness and determination for the upcoming battle.

"Mother, do you see? I am no longer the child who needs your protection. I feel your pain, and I will fight to take back your freedom. Please believe me, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how much it costs, I will let you regain your freedom and stay away from this dark cage."

However, Jiang Xiruo shook her head gently, revealing a deep sense of helplessness and kindness. Her smile was mixed with a hint of bitterness, as if she was telling Ling Xiao that the dangers of this world were far beyond his imagination.

"Silly child, I know what you mean, but the power of the Jiang family is like an invisible net that covers this land, omnipresent and pervasive. Their methods are cruel and cunning, how can you fight against them alone? I just hope you can be safe, stay away from this place of trouble, and live your own wonderful life."

As she spoke, Jiang Xiruo's eyes became slightly red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall, because she knew that tears would only make her son more determined in his irrational determination.

"Remember, my greatest wish in this life is for you to be happy and healthy. If you sacrifice yourself to save me, even if I leave, I will only feel endless regret and self-blame. So, listen to me, leave quickly, leave far away, and don't come back."

These words, every word of which revealed the greatness and sacrifice of maternal love, made Ling Xiao's heart even heavier. But he also understood that his mother was protecting him in her own way and did not want him to be involved in this endless dispute.

However, Ling Xiao's eyes were shining with a more determined light. He knew that once you set foot on some roads, you can't turn back; once you take on some responsibilities, you need to go all out. He secretly vowed that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, he would fight for his mother and himself.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly with this long breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the depression and anger around him into his body, and then slowly exhale it to calm the waves in his heart. His eyes became unusually firm at this moment, as if he was making a silent oath.

Then, his voice was trembling slightly, but it conveyed his concern and anxiety more clearly: "Mother, these days, they have not only imprisoned you here, and tortured you physically and mentally, but also kidnapped my friend Ali. Ali is a little fox from the fox tribe. We have a deep friendship. Have you... seen any trace of her here?"

Jiang Xiruo heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, with surprise and worry intertwined. She savored Ling Xiao's words carefully, and quickly replayed every fragment of the long years of imprisonment in her mind, but in the end she found nothing.

She shook her head gently, with a hint of apology and helplessness in her voice: "The Fox Clan, Ahri... I have never heard of this name, let alone seen her. But even though I am in prison, I have heard about the Jiang family's style of doing things."

"They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. I'm afraid your friend Ah Li has really fallen into their hands. Ling Xiao, you have to understand that the Jiang family is cunning. They may use your friends as bargaining chips to contain you. You must be careful and don't act rashly."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the rage in his heart burned like a raging fire blown up by a strong wind, almost devouring all his rationality. But he knew very well that anger at this moment would be of no use, and only calmness and wisdom could help him rescue his mother and find Ahri.

He looked at his mother deeply, his eyes showing both determination and tenderness: "Mom, don't worry, I, Ling Xiao, will never let anyone hurt you and Ali. I will use my own way to make those who hurt us pay the price they deserve. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will move forward until I bring you and Ali home safely."

These words are not only Ling Xiao's promise to his mother, but also his spur to himself. He knows that the road ahead will be full of thorns, but he is no longer afraid, because the love and faith in his heart are enough to support him through all the storms.

"Since Ahri's whereabouts point to the Jiang family, then no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I must rescue you first, mother. Then, we will go to the Jiang family together, mother and son, and seek justice from them."

Ling Xiao's voice was deep and firm, and every word seemed to burst out from the bottom of his heart, full of unquestionable power. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were like torches, as if he had already seen the inevitable battle in the future.

"You are always so stubborn, kid." Jiang Xiruo shook her head gently, her eyes full of mixed emotions. She stretched out her chained hands, wanting to touch Ling Xiao's face, but gave up because of the distance.

She continued, "This chain is extraordinary. It is made of rare black iron mixed with secret silver. It is extremely hard and cannot be damaged by ordinary weapons. What's more terrifying is that it is engraved with interlocking mechanisms carefully arranged by the Saint Pattern Master. Each pattern contains a powerful sealing force, which not only restrains my body, but also suppresses my cultivation to a certain extent. Such a restriction is difficult to break easily even for people with high cultivation."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiruo couldn't help but have a hint of bitterness in her tone.

"Mother knows your intentions, but you have to consider your own safety. Although mother suffers here, she is relatively safe. If you fall into danger in order to save me, or even fall into the hands of the Jiang family, then all the suffering mother has endured will become meaningless."

Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was choked with sobs, which showed her deep love and worry for her son.
