Chapter 14849 The Return of the Silent Court's Powerful Member

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if a breath had been suddenly released.

Ling Xiao's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, panting heavily. His body was soaked in sweat, his wounds throbbed with pain, and his breathing was extremely erratic...

The battle just now had almost exhausted all his spiritual power and physical strength.

Just then, Xia Ming's voice suddenly rang in his mind, carrying a hint of solemnity and a hint of relief:

"You should be glad that it wasn't Xiang Ying, the leader of the Eight Great Divine Envoys, who came looking for you this time. Otherwise, even with the help of the demon spirit, even if you used all your trump cards, you probably still wouldn't be able to escape this calamity!"

Ling Xiao frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked softly, "Xiang Ying? Who is he? Is he stronger than Lin Hao?"

Xia Ming explained softly:

"He is the head of the eight divine envoys of the Silent Court, and his strength is unfathomable. He is second only to Jiang Yijian in the Silent Court."

You should know Jiang Yijian; he is one of the eight strongest figures in the Chaotic Martial World.

As for Xiang Ying, his strength ranks ninth. Although there's still a slight gap between him and Jiang Yijian, he's definitely a solid ninth place, far stronger than Lin Hao!

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Sister Xia Ming, don't scare me! Lin Hao is already this difficult to deal with, so wouldn't Xiang Ying be even more terrifying?"

Xia Ming gently shook his head, his tone serious:

“I’m not trying to scare you. Although I’m not particularly familiar with the Chaotic Martial Realm, I’ve done a lot of research these days and know more than you do! What I’m saying is all true.”

Ling Xiao sighed deeply, his gaze hardening, his tone heavy:

"It seems I must work harder and improve my cultivation as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I encounter an opponent of Xiang Ying's caliber again, I will really be waiting to die."

Xia Ming nodded, and reminded him in a serious tone:

"You really should try harder."

You should know that to unlock the Demon Lord's treasure, you must have the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword.

The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword has already recognized you as its master and become your weapon. Therefore, the Silent Court will definitely regard you as a major threat and will never let you go.

In the future, even more and stronger enemies will come looking for you. If you don't become stronger quickly, you'll eventually fall into their hands.

Ling Xiao frowned, his tone tinged with urgency and helplessness, and said in a deep voice:

"But the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword is no longer with me! Even if they believe the sword has recognized me as its master, I cannot summon it back. Surely they should believe that now?"

Xia Ming gently shook his head, his tone firm and unwavering:

They won't believe it!

They knew better than anyone the extraordinary power of the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword, and that once the sword recognized its master, it would be connected to the host's mind and spirit.

If you are willing, even if you are thousands of miles apart, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword will break through all obstacles and return to your side!

In their eyes, you're just deliberately hiding something; you simply don't want to hand over the sword.

Ling Xiao: ……

He was speechless for a moment, his heart filled with helplessness...

He was telling the truth, but no one believed him.

The people of the Silent Court were blinded by hatred, their eyes fixed only on the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, and they wouldn't listen to his explanations at all.

Xia Ming added, his tone becoming more serious, carrying a hint of warning:

"Don't underestimate the Silent Court."

Although they are now merely watchdogs placed by the Holy Temple in the Realm of Extinction, dependent on others for their lives.

But back then, they were the number one force in the entire chaotic martial arts world. Their heritage spanned hundreds of years, and their profound foundation far exceeded your imagination. They were by no means as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Therefore, your most urgent task right now is not to make excuses or run away, but to desperately become stronger...

"Study the swordsmanship tradition diligently under Senior Demon Spirit, hone your skills, and break through your cultivation realm as soon as possible. Only by becoming strong enough can you cope with the upcoming crisis."

Ling Xiao nodded emphatically, a resolute glint in his eyes, his tone resolute:

"I understand! I will no longer take chances. I will do my best to become stronger as soon as possible, and I will no longer put myself in a passive position or make the people around me worry!"

As he spoke, he turned around, looked respectfully at the demon spirit beside him, and bowed slightly: "From now on, I will trouble the demon spirit to teach me carefully!"

The demon spirit nodded slightly, her expression still indifferent, yet she couldn't hide a hint of approval for Ling Xiao. Her tone was calm but firm: "No need for formalities. Continue your cultivation and don't waste time."

In the days that followed, Ling Xiao completely calmed down and devoted himself entirely to cultivation...

Spar with demon spirits every day, listen to their guidance on the essence of swordsmanship, hone your skills with the Blood Sacrifice Sword and the Karma Sword, and comprehend the method of fusing nameless holy runes with the way of swordsmanship.

Occasionally, he would spar with Meng Haoqing, and the two would hone their skills and improve together. As a result, Meng Haoqing's strength also improved rapidly during this period.

His cultivation level has steadily improved, and he has shed his former recklessness and gained more composure.

Xia Ming stood quietly to the side, but a trace of worry remained between his brows, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

She discovered through secret observation that those powerful figures who had disappeared and gone into hiding from the Silent Court were reappearing one by one and returning to the Silent Court.

Their auras were sharp, and their eyes burned with vengeful fury. Clearly, they had learned of the suppression of the Silent Court by Xiao Lianzhu and had come to seek revenge and rebuild the Silent Court.

She knew in her heart that these people would never easily give up the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword...

After all, the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword is not only the key to unlocking the Demon Lord's treasure, containing endless opportunities and power, but also the nightmare of the Holy Temple.

The Holy Temple has always been wary of the power of the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword, and will never allow this sword to reappear in the world, nor will it allow anyone to control its power.

As for Ling Xiao, the one to whom the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword recognized him as its master, he naturally became a threat they had to eliminate.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming sighed softly, his gaze drifting to Ling Xiao, who was diligently cultivating not far away, his eyes filled with complex emotions...

Ling Xiao's talent is outstanding and his growth rate is astonishing, but the foundation of the Silent Court is too deep.

With more and more powerful figures returning, coupled with the covert pressure from the Holy Temple, Ling Xiao's future path will surely be fraught with thorns.

All she could do was silently protect him; as for the final outcome, it was all up to Ling Xiao's fate.

……

The Silent Courtyard.

After taking over the Silent Court, Lin Hao did not slack off at all. He immediately set about reorganizing the entire Silent Court, cleaning up its members, and restoring order.

Those powerful figures of the Silent Court who had previously hidden themselves away or left in despair learned of the Silent Court's humiliation at being suppressed by the mayor of the underworld town alone.

They also put aside their past grievances and estrangements, and returned to the Court of Annihilation one after another, vowing to restore the glory of the Court of Annihilation and wash away the humiliation of today.

anger!

Inside the main hall, the returning experts of the Silent Court were all filled with righteous indignation, their auras raging, and their eyes burning with the fury of revenge. (End of Chapter)
