Yao Tianji nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and said solemnly, "What Elder Zhang said is absolutely right, and his consideration is thorough. You will be fully responsible for this matter, and you must implement it as soon as possible without any delay."
Zhang Maoran solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Please rest assured, Dean, I will certainly not fail in my mission!"
Yao Tianji then turned his gaze to the other side, where an elderly man in a black brocade robe with a calm face solemnly said, "Vice Dean Li Hanwen, you are in charge of leading people to support the Silent Realm."
Li Hanwen was taken aback, a look of confusion on his face. He subconsciously asked, "The Realm of Annihilation? Dean, we are currently in a critical period of preparation for war. Why would we need to divide our forces to support the Realm of Annihilation?"
“Ling Xiao comes from the Realm of Nirvana, where there are people he cares about and people he is attached to.”
Yao Tianji spoke slowly, his tone calm but with a hint of consideration.
"If the Silent Extinction Court cannot find Ling Xiao at the Holy Rune Academy, in a fit of rage, it is highly likely that it will take action against the Silent Extinction Realm and use people that Ling Xiao cares about to blackmail him."
"Take a batch of high-grade holy rune stones, and select a group of top experts to go to the Silent Realm to guard it for Ling Xiao and protect those he cares about."
He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his tone growing increasingly firm:
"By the way, let's issue a warning to all forces in the Silent Realm... From this day forward, the Silent Realm is under the protection of my Holy Rune Academy! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on the Silent Realm is an enemy of my Holy Rune Academy and an enemy of Lingxiao!"
A knowing glint flashed in Li Hanwen's eyes, then he solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute, his tone firm: "Disciple understands. Please rest assured, Dean, I will definitely guard the Silent Realm well and will never let down the Dean and Junior Grandmaster's expectations!"
Just as everyone was going about their tasks and preparing to disperse, a calm and steady voice suddenly came from the side hall, breaking the order of the main hall.
"Gentlemen."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ling Xiao slowly walking out of the side hall. He was tall and straight, with a calm expression and a faint aura of holy runes surrounding him.
Although he did not deliberately release any pressure, he naturally exuded an aura of composure. His gaze slowly swept over each of the senior executives present, and his tone was calm and sincere.
“I, Ling Xiao, have indeed been plagued by troubles. Since arriving at the Holy Rune Academy, I have brought many problems to the academy. Now, because of me, the academy has been plunged into a crisis of war with the Silent Court.”
Ling Xiao spoke slowly, his tone calm, without offering any explanation.
"If you all feel that protecting me would bring utter destruction to the Holy Rune Academy and that it is not worth it, I can leave the Holy Rune Academy immediately and will never be a burden to the academy or to any of you."
“What are you saying, Junior Grandmaster?” Zhang Maoran was the first to speak, his tone urgent and solemn.
“Now that you have entered the Holy Rune Academy and become a disciple of the founder, you are one of us, our junior master. How can we send our own people out to their deaths and let them face the Silent Court alone?”
Rest assured, since we've decided to protect you, we will never go back on our word!
“That’s right!” Li Hanwen nodded quickly, his tone firm.
"Protecting our ancestral legacy and the young master is our duty, it's only right and proper. The young master need not feel guilty at all, just stay in the academy with peace of mind, we'll take care of everything outside!"
“But…” Ling Xiao wanted to say something more, but Yao Tianji raised his hand to interrupt him.
“There are no ‘buts’,” Yao Tianji said firmly, his eyes filled with concern.
"Grandmaster, you should stay in the academy and focus on studying the Way of Sacred Runes. Improve your strength as soon as possible and refine high-level Sacred Rune Stones. This is the greatest help you can give us."
"We will send people to guard the Realm of Annihilation, and we will never allow anyone you care about to be harmed. As for the Court of Annihilation..."
He gave a cold laugh, a resolute and confident glint in his eyes:
"Let them come. Our Holy Rune Academy has stood for tens of thousands of years, weathering countless storms. What kind of powerful enemy haven't we seen? Are we afraid of a mere Silent Annihilation Court?"
Today, they dare to declare war, and we dare to accept it! We will make them know that the dignity of the Holy Rune Academy is inviolable!
Ling Xiao remained silent for a moment, then slowly swept his gaze over everyone present.
Looking at the determination and sincerity in their eyes, and at their resolve to fight against a powerful enemy for the sake of the Holy Rune Academy and for themselves, a warmth I had never felt before welled up in my heart, and a relieved smile slowly appeared on my lips.
"it is good."
He nodded emphatically, his tone firm, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"In that case, I will stay. I entrust the affairs of the Silent Court to you all."
As for the path of Sacred Runes, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to improving my strength as quickly as possible, and to refining high-grade Sacred Rune Stones as soon as possible, so as not to let down the Ancestor's entrustment, nor to betray the trust and efforts of everyone!
Yao Tianji nodded in satisfaction, a relieved smile on his face: "Then it's settled. Everyone, perform your duties and implement the preparations for war as soon as possible. Do not slack off!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their tone firm. Then they turned around and quickly left, each going about their duties. The entire Holy Rune Academy instantly entered a tense state of preparation.
Ling Xiao stood alone in the empty Holy Rune Hall, watching the departing figures of the crowd. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes... warmth, gratitude, and a barely perceptible touch of emotion.
From childhood to adulthood, he had seen too many sects and too much wickedness in people's hearts. When faced with powerful enemies or crises, most sects would fall apart, with everyone shirking responsibility and even sacrificing others to protect themselves.
He had never seen a sect like the Holy Rune Academy before, one that, despite knowing the strength of its opponent and the potential for annihilation in war, remained united and unhesitatingly chose to protect its own people.
"Is this what a sect is like?" he murmured to himself, his tone filled with a mix of emotion and longing... The feeling of being protected, having companions, and fighting side by side was something he had never experienced before.
"What, are you moved?" Xia Ming's voice suddenly rang in Ling Xiao's mind, with a hint of teasing but no malice.
Ling Xiao did not answer, but lowered his eyes slightly to hide the emotions in them... He was indeed moved, deeply touched by the sincerity and determination of the people from the Holy Rune Academy.
"Alright, stop being so dramatic." Xia Ming's voice rang out again, his tone becoming more serious.
"Since they are so sincere to you and so desperate to protect you, you should focus on studying the Way of Sacred Runes, improve your strength as soon as possible, and refine a high-grade seven-star Sacred Rune Stone."
"When you one day are able to protect the Holy Rune Academy and those who have truly cared for you with your own strength, that will be the best way to repay them and to repay the kindness of our founder."
Ling Xiao nodded slowly, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said solemnly, "I know."
He said no more, turned around, and walked towards the training room deep inside the Holy Rune Hall... It was the quietest place in the Holy Rune Academy, where the power of the Holy Runes was most concentrated, making it suitable for focused cultivation and studying the way of the Holy Runes.
