Chapter 14865 Yin Wujiu
Boom!
The golden array's protective barrier trembled violently, its surface covered with countless cracks, as if it were about to shatter at any moment. The array's oppressive power also weakened somewhat.
"One more strike!" Ling Xiao roared, his power erupting once more. He slashed out with his Bloodthirsty Blade again, and another crimson blade of light struck the crack in the light barrier!
Click...!
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the golden array light shield shattered completely, turning into countless golden light spots that dissipated into the air. The ancient annihilation array that had trapped everyone was completely broken!
"Retreat!" Ling Xiao shouted sharply, his tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the students of the Holy Rune Academy transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the outside of the Silent Court, not daring to linger for a moment...
They all knew that the Silent Court had a profound foundation, and if they stayed any longer, they would never be able to leave once Wu Guang activated other formations again.
Seeing this, Ling Bi swung the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword in her hand, and a sharp sword light forced Wu Guang back. With a flash, she also sped towards the sky, closely following the group from the Holy Rune Academy.
Lingxiao Palace was the last to break out of the Annihilation Ancient Formation's range, and it seemed that he was about to completely escape the battlefield and flee the control of the Annihilation Court...
Suddenly, from the depths of the Silent Court below, a mysterious and terrifying power suddenly emerged. That power was formless and intangible, yet it carried a powerful suction force.
In an instant, it condensed into a giant black hand, which stretched out and grabbed Ling Bi who was speeding away!
"Ling Bi!"
Ling Xiao's pupils shrank sharply, and he let out an urgent roar.
He turned around abruptly and saw Ling Bi being tightly gripped by that large black hand, her body being pulled and dragged deeper into the Silent Court, her face filled with pain and anxiety.
"Ling Xiao, don't worry about me...! Run! Don't get into danger because of me!"
Ling Bi's voice was choked with sobs, yet remained resolute. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the black hand's grasp.
But the power of that giant hand was too great; she couldn't budge it an inch. Before she could finish speaking, her figure was completely pulled into the depths of the Silent Court by the black hand and disappeared into the endless darkness.
Ling Xiao had already soared to the horizon, only a step away from escaping the battlefield, but he suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on the darkness below that had swallowed Ling Bi, his eyes growing colder and colder until they reached their extreme.
His aura became increasingly violent and eerie, and his killing intent, almost tangible, surged forth from his body, sweeping across the entire sky...
Ling Bi is someone he cares about. No one can hurt her, even if it means stepping into a den of dragons and tigers, he must save Ling Bi!
The next second, Ling Xiao did not hesitate at all. His figure flashed and, like an arrow released from a bow, he resolutely rushed back and sped towards the unknown darkness deep within the Silent Court!
"Ling Xiao...!" Jiang Chuan cried out in alarm upon seeing this, trying to rush forward to stop him, but it was too late.
Yao Tianji's expression changed drastically. He stared intently at the Silent Court below, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms. He gritted his teeth and said, "Little Grandmaster! Don't be impulsive! It's too dangerous in there. You can't go in!"
But Ling Xiao's figure had completely disappeared into the great formation of the Silent Court, vanished into that endless darkness, and could no longer be seen.
The students from the Holy Rune Academy all stopped in their tracks, exchanging bewildered glances, their faces filled with anxiety and confusion, unsure of what to do...
Ling Xiao is their backbone. Now that Ling Xiao has ventured alone into the depths of the Silent Court, his fate unknown, what should they do?
"What should we do? Dean Yao, what should we do now? Should we rush in and save Junior Master and Junior Sister Ling Bi?" someone asked anxiously, their voice full of worry.
Yao Tianji stared intently at the Silent Court below, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Wait."
"Wait?" Everyone was stunned, their faces full of confusion. "Dean Yao, what time is it? How can we wait? Our young master..."
"Ling Xiao is not a reckless person."
Yao Tianji interrupted everyone, his tone firm.
“Since he dares to go back alone, he must be confident and have a backup plan. We will wait here, guarding outside the Silent Court, preventing anyone from stopping him and preventing the people of the Silent Court from escaping.”
He paused, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and continued:
"If he doesn't come out in an hour, we'll storm in together, raze the Silent Court to the ground, and rescue our Junior Master and Junior Sister Lingbi no matter the cost!"
Everyone fell silent. They all knew that Yao Tianji was right; Ling Xiao was always meticulous and never did anything without being sure of success.
Rushing in now would not only fail to rescue Ling Xiao and Ling Bi, but might also result in unnecessary deaths. The wisest choice is to wait here.
The night wind carried a thick, pungent smell of blood, mixed with an eerie aura emanating from the depths of the Silent Court, sending chills down one's spine.
Inside the Silent Courtyard, the lights were bright, yet a murderous aura permeated every corner. Every inch of the land was stained with blood, and every corner concealed unknown dangers.
Ling Xiao had already stepped into that unknown darkness, the road ahead fraught with danger, his fate uncertain, yet his eyes remained resolute...
No matter how many dangers lie ahead, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he must find Ling Bi and bring her out safely, even if it means being shattered to pieces, he will never back down!
……
Just as Ling Xiao stepped back into the gate of the Silent Extinction Court, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly rang out from behind him, and a strong wind carrying a chilling killing intent went straight for his back!
Immediately afterwards, a slender figure staggered and flew backward, crashing heavily to his side. She barely managed to regain her balance, her breath coming in disarray and almost ceasing.
This person was none other than Ling Bi!
At this moment, Ling Bi's once white clothes were now soaked with glaring blood, and dark red bloodstains dripped down the hem of her clothes, spreading out like red plum blossoms on the ground.
Her face was as pale as paper, completely devoid of color, her lips were cracked, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her breath was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind; she had clearly suffered a severe injury.
Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he raised his gaze sharply towards the center of the square not far away...
There stood a middle-aged man dressed in black, his figure as upright as a pine tree, surrounded by an aura as heavy as a mountain. The fatal blow just now was clearly made by this man.
"It's him!"
Just then, Xia Ming's solemn voice suddenly rang out in Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness, carrying a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
Ling Xiao frowned deeply, his mind plunging into his sea of consciousness, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
Xia Ming's voice grew increasingly deep and serious as he slowly explained:
"Yin Wujiu! He was the chief steward of the Martial Hall of the Silent Extinction Court back then. He was in charge of the cultivation, instruction and assessment of all disciples of the Martial Hall. He had great power."
Although he wasn't among the eight great divine envoys, his cultivation was unfathomably profound, in no way inferior to any of them. Back in the Silent Court, his prestige even surpassed that of some of the divine envoys!
