Chapter 14816 The Silent Court Deploys
Xia Ming's tone instantly turned indifferent, carrying a hint of warning, and his voice was solemn:
"I know you're very curious and want to explore everything, but I must solemnly warn you, don't even think about those three dangerous places, you absolutely must not set foot in them."
Even the eight supreme experts that the old man just mentioned, whose strength is unfathomable, dare not easily set foot among them, for fear of never returning.
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and the curiosity on his face instantly faded, replaced by a look of solemnity: "It's really that dangerous? Even the eight strongest experts have to be wary of it?"
Xia Ming replied calmly, "It's extremely dangerous, far beyond your imagination. Of course, it's not entirely hopeless. If you can persuade that Moon Maiden to accompany you, that would be fine. With her there, even in the three most dangerous places, she can ensure your safety."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly... It seems that Xia Ming has a very high opinion of Yue Nu. For Xia Ming, who is always arrogant, to recognize her so highly, it is enough to show how terrifying Yue Nu's strength is.
Xia Ming seemed to sense his thoughts and added:
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. In my opinion, as long as Yue Nu herself doesn't want to die, there's probably nothing in this world that can kill her. Her mystery and power far exceed our understanding."
Moon Maiden...
Upon hearing those two words, Ling Xiao's smile gradually faded, and a faint sense of longing suddenly welled up in his heart...
Ever since the Moon Maiden saved him last time, she has quietly left and never appeared again. Unconsciously, he has missed his wife more and more.
Ling Xiao quickly regained his composure, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, turned to look at Yao Tianji, and said solemnly:
"Dean Yao, the main reason I'm asking about these things today is to inquire about the Golden Dragon Emperor, and also, exactly where in the Chaotic Martial Realm is the Golden Dragon Gate?"
Yao Tianji frowned sharply, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes, his tone carrying a touch of disbelief: "Grandmaster, you're asking this because you want to go to the Golden Dragon Gate?"
Ling Xiao made no attempt to hide anything and nodded slightly...
There is an indescribable spiritual connection between him and the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword.
He could clearly sense that the sword was currently inside the Golden Dragon Gate, and in the direction of the Golden Dragon Gate, he also felt an extremely familiar aura—an aura belonging to his good brother, Long Chen.
Having not seen him for many years, he was filled with longing and wanted to know how Long Chen was doing, whether his strength had improved, why he appeared at the Golden Dragon Gate, and why he obtained the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword.
Yao Tianji's expression instantly became even more solemn, and he said firmly, "No, you can't go to the Golden Dragon Gate! You absolutely can't go!"
A hint of confusion flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Why? Although the Golden Dragon Gate is dangerous, with the Golden Dragon Emperor, as you mentioned, presiding over it, they shouldn't attack me easily, right?"
Yao Tianji said in a deep voice:
"That place is far more dangerous than you can imagine, and the Golden Dragon Emperor's temperament is even more unpredictable."
Moreover, the Silent Court is currently keeping a close eye on you, eager to eliminate you as soon as possible. If you rashly venture out and leave the protection of the Holy Rune Academy, it will be tantamount to walking into a trap. If you encounter an ambush by the Silent Court, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Ling Xiao fell silent. He had considered what Yao Tianji had said...
The Silent Court hates him to the bone and will surely lay an ambush outside the Holy Rune Academy, waiting for him to walk into their trap. However, his concern for Long Chen and his search for the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword make it difficult for him to suppress his thoughts.
Seeing his silence, Yao Tianji pressed on with another question, his tone tinged with urgency:
“Grandmaster, why do you insist on going to the Golden Dragon Gate? If you have any difficulties or anything you want to explore, please tell me and I will do my best to help you. You must not take the risk yourself.”
Ling Xiao raised his head, his gaze firm, yet he didn't want to explain further, simply saying:
"There's no particular reason. I just want to go and see what the Golden Dragon Gate looks like, and whether the Golden Dragon Emperor is really as terrifying as you say."
Yao Tianji gave him a deep look, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, but didn't press further. His tone, however, grew increasingly serious:
"No matter the reason, that place is off-limits."
The Golden Dragon Gate has always been strictly guarded and never welcomes outsiders, especially the Golden Dragon Emperor, who is decisive, ruthless, and eccentric.
Regardless of who you are or what your background is, in his eyes there is only the living and the dead. If you dare to step into the Golden Dragon Gate without authorization, he will definitely attack you, even if you are a direct disciple of the Grandmaster.
Seeing Yao Tianji's anxious and worried expression, Ling Xiao felt a slight pang in his heart, knowing that Yao Tianji genuinely cared about him, and quickly said:
"Dean Yao, rest assured, I will not go for the time being. I also know that with my current strength, going to the Golden Dragon Gate rashly would not only fail to achieve my goal, but could also bring disaster upon myself and even drag down the academy."
He knew in his heart that if he went there, he would only be a filler if he was not strong enough. Rather than taking risks rashly, he should focus on improving himself first. When he was strong enough, he could go to the Golden Dragon Gate to find Long Chen and explore the secrets of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword.
Upon hearing this, Yao Tianji finally breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
"That's good, that's good. Although your current strength far surpasses that of martial artists and Saint Rune Masters of the same realm, the Chaotic Martial World is too dangerous, and many places are still fraught with danger for you."
"The most urgent task right now is to focus on studying the Way of Sacred Runes and quickly improve your strength and mastery of Sacred Runes. It won't be too late to explore those secrets once you're strong enough."
Before Yao Tianji could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the Holy Rune Hall. His movements were hurried and his aura was somewhat disordered. It was Jiang Chuan, the guard commander of the academy.
Yao Tianji turned his head sharply, his expression instantly becoming serious. He asked in a deep voice, "Jiang Chuan, what's the matter? Is there some movement from the Silent Court?"
Jiang Chuan knelt on one knee, his expression extremely grave, and said urgently, "Dean, something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Yao Tianji frowned deeply, his tone becoming increasingly stern: "What's the panic! Speak slowly, what exactly happened?"
Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and quickly reported:
"Elder Zhang Maoran was ordered to pick up Ling Bi and others, friends of the Junior Master, but on his way back to the academy, he was surrounded by people from the Silent Extinction Court!"
This time, the Silent Court has dispatched a powerful contingent from the Divine Envoy Hall, led by none other than the Vice Hall Master, Ouyang Huan!
"what?!"
Ling Xiao abruptly stood up, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes, and his aura instantly turned icy cold...
