Chapter 14841 Revenge on the Silent Court
"Who else?" Xiao Lianzhu looked down at the Silent Court below, her voice indifferent and devoid of emotion, yet carrying an air of domineering authority, as if she were questioning a group of ants.
No one answered.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to resist, and no one dared to utter a single extra sound. Everyone waited in fear for their fate.
Just then, a disheveled figure suddenly shot into the sky from the bottomless pit.
His blood and qi surged, his clothes were torn, he was covered in blood, his flesh was covered with dense cracks, and his aura was extremely weak, as if he would completely dissipate at any moment.
But he still stared intently at Xiao Lianzhu, his eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and overwhelming rage.
It was Zhang Xuanyi.
"Why?!" he roared hoarsely, his voice filled with endless resentment and anger.
"My Silent Extinction Court has no grudge against you, no past grievances, and no present enmity. Why do you treat me like this? Why do you destroy my Silent Extinction Court and slaughter my disciples?!"
"No grudge against me?" Xiao Lianzhu slowly interrupted his roar, a cold mockery flashing in her eyes, a faint smile curving her lips. "Then why did you issue a warrant for my arrest?"
Zhang Xuanyi froze, stunned for a moment, his anger instantly replaced by bewilderment.
"Wanted to arrest you?" he muttered to himself, his mind a jumble of thoughts. Then, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly flipped his hand over, taking out a yellowed portrait. His hands trembled as he unfolded it.
The painting depicts a woman with stunning beauty, a cool and aloof demeanor, and a hint of gentleness in her eyes. She is exactly the same as Xiao Lianzhu, who stands in mid-air before you, without the slightest difference!
"This...this is..." Zhang Xuanyi's hands trembled even more violently, his face instantly turned ashen white, devoid of any color, and a tidal wave of despair surged through his heart, instantly engulfing him.
What a blunder!
What a huge blunder!
The person he was after wasn't the mayor of this underworld town, but Ling Xiao's fiancée, a woman also named Xiao Lianzhu!
He never imagined that these two Xiao Lianzhus were actually the same person!
He actually provoked this terrifying existence that even the most powerful forces dared not provoke, all because of a name!
"I'm not after you!" he cried out urgently, his voice trembling with tears, filled with panic and pleading.
"The person I'm arresting is Ling Xiao's fiancée, and she's also named Xiao Lianzhu! It's really just a coincidence of names! Mayor, please spare my life, please let me go, please let the Silent Court go! This is truly a misunderstanding!"
Xiao Lianzhu looked down at his panicked, tear-streaked face, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
That smile was devoid of any warmth, chilling to the bone, as if one were watching a clown, full of mockery and disdain.
"Same name?" she repeated softly, her tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable killing intent.
Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand again.
Zhang Xuan's pupils constricted sharply, terrified out of his wits. He desperately circulated the last wisp of spiritual energy within his body, condensing it into a thick defensive barrier to protect his mangled body...
He knew he was no match for Xiao Lianzhu and could only muster his last bit of strength in the hope of blocking the attack.
But it's no use.
The terrifying power unleashed by Xiao Lianzhu's wave of her hand was like a devastating force, directly crushing all his defenses without any hindrance, instantly sweeping over his body and shattering his mangled flesh!
Only a faint remnant soul remained, floating in mid-air in terror, trembling, too weak to even escape.
"You...you."
Zhang Xuanyi's remnant soul was completely stunned, his eyes filled with despair and disbelief.
He finally realized that the gap between himself and the woman in front of him was greater than the gap between an ant and a dragon. He didn't even have the right to resist her; he was like dust, easily wiped out at any moment.
"Help! Help!" His remnant soul roared madly, his voice shrill and filled with pleading, "I beg Divine Envoy Lin Hao! I beg Divine Envoy Chen Sheng! I beg all divine envoys to come quickly to save me! Save the Silent Court!"
Just then...
A long, helpless sigh came from the void and slowly echoed above the Silent Court.
"Mayor, why go to such extremes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rift suddenly opened in the void, and a figure in a green robe slowly walked out of the rift. His steps were calm and his aura was as deep as the sea, as if the void beneath his feet was bowing down to him.
He was a middle-aged man with a thin face, handsome features, and dressed in a blue robe.
Holding an ancient longsword, surrounded by a faint sword aura, his aura was both calm and sharp. He was none other than Lin Hao, one of the eight divine envoys of the Silent Court and the strongest among them!
Xiao Lianzhu slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Lin Hao. Her dark eyes were completely calm, as if she had only seen an insignificant ant.
"Finally, someone decent has arrived?"
She spoke calmly, her tone devoid of emotion, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm... In her view, Zhang Xuanyi and Yingfeng were both far too vulnerable.
Lin Hao ignored her sarcasm, his gaze falling on Zhang Xuanyi's shattered soul. His brows furrowed slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, before he said to Zhang Xuanyi in a deep voice:
"Lord of the Court, please step back. I'll take care of things here."
Zhang Xuanyi's remnant soul felt as if it had been granted a pardon, and a glimmer of hope welled up in its heart. Without daring to delay for even a moment, it quickly transformed into a streak of light and retreated hastily.
Hiding behind a distant mountain peak, he watched the scene unfold before him, still shaken.
Xiao Lianzhu did not stop him, but simply looked at Lin Hao quietly. Her aura remained cold and dignified, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Are you here to die?" she asked calmly, her tone even, yet carrying a deadly sense of oppression.
Lin Hao's eyes narrowed, and his aura instantly became sharp. He raised his hand and gripped the long sword tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Before the sword was even drawn, a powerful sword aura shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds and colliding with Xiao Lianzhu's aura. Ripples spread through the air, producing a piercing buzzing sound.
“Mayor, the Court of Annihilation and your underworld town have no prior grudges and have always kept to themselves.”
Lin Hao said in a deep voice, his tone steady, with a hint of barely perceptible apprehension, "Today you came to our door without cause, killed my disciples of the Silent Extinction Court, and severely injured the Court Master. This is going too far."
"Without reason?"
Xiao Lianzhu suddenly smiled, a cold smile that carried a chilling edge.
"You, the Court of Annihilation, openly issued a warrant for my arrest, using my name to threaten someone you wanted to kill, and now you're telling me it's without cause?"
Lin Hao frowned even more deeply, a storm raging in his heart.
Of course he knew about the arrest warrant issued by the Court of Annihilation...
That was a warrant issued by Zhang Xuanyi specifically to target Ling Xiao, after he discovered that Ling Xiao had a fiancée named Xiao Lianzhu.
