Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 15008 Gift

Upon hearing Jiang Yijian's words, Xiao Lianzhu stopped in her tracks, staring intently at the man in the purple robe, lost in thought.

It had been a long time since she had encountered such a master. She really wanted to go up and have a good fight with him. However, Jiang Yijian was right. She might be able to deal with one purple-robed man, but what if there were two, or even ten?

The Demon Soul Clan's resources are terrifying, and as the town's mayor, she is well aware of this.

"State your name, and we'll fight again next time!" Xiao Lianzhu put away the Black Moon and looked at the man calmly.

However, the man in purple robes did not speak, but turned and left, following the army of the Demon Soul Clan.

"What's with the arrogance? Next time we meet, I'll teach you a lesson!" Xiao Lianzhu pouted, looking annoyed. All you did was block one of her attacks, and you acted like you'd won.

"Alright, stop being angry. What's the point of getting angry with someone like that? You wanted to know his name, right? I can tell you!"

Jiang Yijian smiled and said.

"Do you know who he is?" Xiao Lianzhu suddenly became interested. She wanted to see what kind of arrogant guy he was, daring to be so cocky in front of her.

"That guy is called Yelü Di, Yelü Tian's younger brother. His strength is comparable to Yelü Tian's, which is quite formidable. Although he can't compare to you, he can still hold you off for an hour. Killing him won't be so easy."

Jiang Yijian explained, "There are quite a few Demon Soul Clan members like Yelü Di. It's even said that the Demon Soul Clan has some ancient trump cards that are comparable to the eight great experts. Those guys are the real troublemakers. The reason I told you not to pursue them was because I was worried that there might be such beings among them."

"I don't understand. Since they have such powerful experts, why don't they just send them out directly? Not to mention the hidden masters, even if there are several more like Yelü Di, we can't handle it." Xiao Lianzhu was somewhat puzzled.

“You don’t understand. They’re also afraid of offending that person,” Jiang Yijian said with a smile.

"You mean the Lord of the Chaotic Martial Realm?" Xiao Lianzhu asked.

"That's right, it's the Lord of Chaotic Martial Realm. Although he is one of the eight strongest in Chaotic Martial Realm, his strength is far above ours. He can be called the number one in Chaotic Martial Realm. If he makes a move, the Demon Soul Clan will be in trouble."

Xiao Lianzhu remained silent for a moment, the seriousness in her eyes gradually fading.

Instead, a sense of understanding emerged.

She finally understood Jiang Yijian's meaning... Today, they could force back the Demon Soul Clan, protect Xiang Ying, and preserve the Silent Court.

This is already the best possible outcome. Forcibly keeping Yelü Tian and the others is simply unrealistic and might even provoke retaliation from the Demon Soul Clan's other two trump cards, which would only result in more harm than good.

She stopped thinking about it, and the black moon in her palm slowly receded, transforming into a faint light that merged into her body.

He then turned and sped off toward the Court of Annihilation.

Jiang Yijian gently patted the white horse's neck, and the white horse rode on clouds.

He followed slowly behind her, his steps unhurried.

The two landed together on the high platform in front of the main hall. Yao Tianji was sitting on a stone bench to the side.

His injuries were treated by disciples of the Holy Rune Academy. The blood at the corner of his mouth had been wiped away, but his face was still pale and his breathing was somewhat weak...

He had just exhausted all his divine power by activating the Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array and various defensive treasures.

Seeing Xiao Lianzhu and Jiang Yijian approach, Yao Tianji quickly propped himself up.

He took the initiative to speak, saying, "Don't worry, I've already sent a message to Ling Xiao. He learned that the Demon Soul Clan had withdrawn their troops and has already led his men away. There shouldn't be any danger."

Xiao Lianzhu nodded slightly, her face expressionless.

She had originally planned to personally meet Ling Xiao, but given Ling Xiao's personality—he was always meticulous and possessed formidable combat strength—

He's never been one to need anyone's help, so there's no need to go through with it now that he's already left.

"Dean Yao." Jiang Yijian leaped down from his horse and bowed to Yao Tianji.

His tone carried a sincere gratitude, "I am very grateful to the Holy Rune Academy for their help today. If it weren't for you, the Silent Court would probably have already suffered a great calamity, and Xiang Ying would not have been able to break through smoothly."

Yao Tianji quickly returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Senior Jiang, you're too kind."

Ling Xiao is a member of our Holy Rune Academy and a junior I value highly. The Demon Soul Clan wants to deal with him and also wants to crush the Silent Court, making them enemies of our Holy Rune Academy.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend—I understand that principle. It would be our honor to be of help.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yijian's lips, a smile as gentle as the first melting of snow.

It instantly dispelled the aloofness surrounding him.

He took out a palm-sized black stone tablet from his bosom. The tablet was warm to the touch, and its surface faintly shimmered with spiritual light.

He handed it to Yao Tianji and said slowly:

"I obtained this from an ancient ruin when I was young. It is engraved with many sacred runes, which are said to be the inheritance of sacred runes from ancient times. They are extremely exquisite. I don't know much about sacred runes, so keeping them would be a waste. Dean Yao, you can take them. Perhaps they will be of some use to the disciples of the Sacred Rune Academy in their cultivation and improvement of their sacred rune skills."

"Thank you very much, Master Jiang!"

Yao Tianji cupped his hands in greeting, then took the stone tablet and examined it carefully.

This sight, however small, filled him with immense joy.

"This...this is all high-level holy runes! Each one is incredibly exquisite, containing boundless Daoist wisdom. It's amazing! Absolutely amazing! If we could learn all these holy runes and pass them on to the disciples of the Holy Rune Academy, our academy's level would be greatly improved!"

This is absolutely priceless.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Jiang Yijian again: "Hero Jiang, this thing is really too valuable. Are you sure you want to give it to the Holy Rune Academy?"

“Of course! Your Holy Rune Academy has done the Silent Court such a great favor today, saving all of us. It’s just a stone tablet, nothing of value. Letting it play its proper role is the best outcome! To you it is a priceless treasure, but to me it’s just a broken stone!”

Jiang Yijian waved his hand and smiled.

"In that case, I am unworthy of such an honor!"

Yao Tianji carefully put the stone tablet into his storage ring. With this and the Saint Rune Notes left by Ling Xiao, their Saint Rune Academy could definitely become stronger in just a few years.

After putting the items away, he cupped his hands in thanks again: "Thank you so much, Hero Jiang! The Holy Rune Academy will never forget this kindness. If the Silent Court ever needs anything in the future, the Holy Rune Academy will do its utmost and will never refuse!"

Jiang Yijian nodded: "From now on, we are a sect that shares weal and woe, and we will help each other!"

Yao Tianji nodded: "Alright, we'll head back now. The Holy Rune Academy doesn't know the situation yet, they're probably all worried."

"Farewell!"

"Goodbye!"

Yao Tianji led the people from the Holy Rune Academy and soared into the sky. (End of Chapter)
