Chapter 14857 That Kid Went to the Court of Annihilation
Lin Hao frowned, somewhat hesitant. He was still worried about Ling Xiao's ambush, but seeing the retreating enemy below, he knew he couldn't delay any longer. He could only say in a deep voice:
"Brother Gu, do you really not know how powerful Ling Xiao is? If he suddenly makes a move, we will all be doomed!"
The ancient insect, however, had lost its patience. A ferocious look appeared on its face, and it roared sharply:
"I don't care about Lingxiao or anything like that! All I know is that my people are dying and being crushed to death by the Holy Rune Stones!"
"Lin Hao, are you deliberately stalling for time, trying to wipe out all my men so you can reap the benefits and monopolize the treasures of the Holy Rune Academy?"
Just as Lin Hao was about to explain, the ancient insect suddenly erupted in a raging fury, roaring at him, "I'm asking you one last time, are you going to make a move or not!"
Lin Hao glanced at Gu Chong and saw that his expression was ferocious, on the verge of exploding. He knew that if he delayed any longer, the two would become enemies, and then the Holy Rune Academy would only reap the benefits.
He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Make your move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared in the void behind Lin Hao, and several figures slowly emerged—
Those were several elderly men with gray hair, each surrounded by a powerful and terrifying aura, which was even stronger than Yao Tianji's!
After these people appeared, they did not hesitate at all and rushed straight towards the battlefield below.
Although there were only four of them, these four old men were extremely powerful. With a flash, they broke through the overwhelming holy rune power.
In addition, the ancient insects' super insect slaves, who were still powerful despite being unable to get rid of Ling Bi, joined forces with the two sides and launched a fierce counterattack, instantly reversing the situation!
Lin Hao, however, grew increasingly vigilant. He subconsciously restrained his sword aura, and his sharp eyes scanned the entire scene, not missing a single unusual movement...
He dared not underestimate Ling Xiao in the slightest, much less repeat the same mistake.
After all, the Silent Court had previously underestimated Ling Xiao, and underestimated his concealment skills and assassination abilities, which led to the loss of several powerful figures, the humiliation, and the heavy price paid!
Moreover, he knew better than anyone that Ling Xiao's greatest skill was stealthy assassination.
This person is always patient and reserved. Once he draws his sword, it is a thunderous strike, each move deadly, never giving his opponent any chance to breathe!
However, no matter how vigilant Lin Hao was or how hard he searched, Ling Xiao remained as if he had vanished into thin air, never showing himself even once, leaving behind only the endless fighting and the increasingly tense battle.
On the battlefield below, Yao Tianji and the others continued to frantically activate the Sacred Rune Stones. One after another, dazzling Sacred Rune Stones shot into the sky as if they were free, unleashing earth-shattering power...
These sacred rune stones seemed inexhaustible, continuously being drawn from the Sacred Rune Academy's treasury and poured upon the powerful members of the Zerg and the Silent Court.
With Yao Tianji and others spending recklessly and without regard for cost, the insectoid warriors brought by the ancient insect had already suffered heavy casualties, and the already precarious battle situation had once again fallen into a complete disadvantage.
The Zerg disciples were forced into retreat, their cries of agony and agony filling the air, and the stench of blood intensified.
Looking at the routed insectoid disciples below, Gu Chong trembled with rage, his face turning ashen.
He abruptly turned to look at Lin Hao in the air, about to speak angrily and urge him to send out the true powerhouses of the Silent Court to provide support as soon as possible.
Just then, the space in front of Lin Hao suddenly trembled violently, and tiny spatial cracks spread rapidly. A familiar aura belonging to Ling Xiao came from the direction of the Silent Court!
The next moment, Lin Hao's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He roared in a hoarse voice:
"Oh no! He's not here! He went to the Silent Court! His target isn't the Holy Rune Academy at all, it's the Demon Lord's treasure! Retreat immediately, everyone back to the Silent Court! We can't let him succeed!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Hao no longer cared about the battle below. His figure flashed, transforming into a sharp sword light, and he instantly disappeared into the horizon, speeding towards the direction of the Silent Court. His speed was so fast that he didn't even leave a trace.
Below, Ling Bi gripped her longsword tightly, her gaze sharp as she looked towards the direction of the Silent Court, her body surrounded by sword energy. She asked urgently:
"Senior Jiang Chuan, Lin Hao and the others have retreated. Should we give chase? My brother must be in danger in the Silent Court!"
"Chase!" Jiang Chuan's expression was solemn, his tone firm, without the slightest hesitation.
"But remember, do not linger in battle. Lingxiao is now deep in the Silent Court alone and will definitely need our support."
I have already sent a message back to the Holy Rune Academy. Dean Yao and the others have mobilized their entire force, bringing all their strongest warriors, and are rushing to the Silent Court to join us!
"Go!" Ling Bi shouted, her figure transforming into a streak of light as she rushed towards the direction of the Silent Court.
Yao Tianji, Jiang Chuan, and the other disciples of the Holy Rune Academy also transformed into streaks of light.
Following closely behind the powerful figures of the Silent Court, they sped off towards the Silent Court, leaving only afterimages and whistling winds in the air.
The Silent Court, deep within the underground secret passage.
Ling Xiao's figure moved swiftly through the dark and deep secret passage like a ghost, his body surrounded by faint concealment runes.
Combined with the teleportation runes in his hand, he perfectly avoided the layers upon layers of restrictions and traps in the secret passage...
Those restrictions that could easily kill a high-level master martial artist were rendered useless in the face of his concealment technique.
"This secret passage leads directly to the core area of the Silent Court. It is said that the Demon Lord's treasure is hidden in a secret chamber in the core area, which is the most important place guarded by the Silent Court."
Xia Ming's voice rang in Ling Xiao's mind, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.
"However, you must be careful. The Silent Court has been operating for so many years, it must have a backup plan in the core area, and there may even be top experts stationed there. You must not be careless."
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, without the slightest slackening. His eyes became even more vigilant, and he continued to advance deeper into the secret passage without slowing down.
His aura was completely concealed, making him appear like an ordinary martial artist, and he would not attract the attention of others in the slightest.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on an ancient painting on the wall of the secret passage…
This painting is embedded in the stone wall. It depicts a woman holding a sword, dressed in white, with an exquisite face, a tall and straight posture, and sharp eyes, and is very lifelike.
It's as if he'll step out of the painting at any moment, wielding a long sword, and slash at the intruder.
Ling Xiao stared intently at the painting, his gaze grave, every muscle in his body tensing instinctively, ready for battle at any moment…
He could sense that the painting contained a strange energy, making it far more than just an ordinary painting.
