Chapter 14802 Get out!
"You wretched creature! You're asking for death!"
The Lord of the Silent Court roared, refusing to waste any more words. With a flash, he lunged fiercely at Ling Xiao, gathering immense dark power in his right palm. The palm wind howled, carrying a world-destroying force, heading straight for Ling Xiao's face...
He wanted to tear Ling Xiao to pieces with one blow to vent his hatred!
However, the next moment, a shrill scream rang out, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes as the figure of the Lord of the Silent Court fell like a kite with a broken string.
He was blasted away by an invisible force, crashing heavily into a distant stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking utterly disheveled.
All eyes turned to the hall, where a seemingly inconspicuous low-grade holy rune stone floated quietly in mid-air, emitting a faint white light. It appeared ordinary, yet it exuded an inviolable majesty.
The Lord of the Silent Court struggled to his feet and stood outside the hall, his face ashen and his aura disordered.
He looked down at his right arm and saw that it was covered in blood, his sleeve was shattered, his arm was covered in cracks, and even the bone was cracked in several places. He was in excruciating pain and couldn't exert any strength at all.
His palm strike just now was enough to shatter mountains and sever rivers, crushing all experts below the Returning to Truth Realm. Yet, it was only slightly shaken by that inconspicuous low-grade holy rune stone in the offering hall that sent him flying and seriously injured!
"This is."
The Lord of the Silent Court stared intently at the low-grade holy rune stone, his eyes filled with disbelief, his voice trembling, "How could a low-grade holy rune stone have such power? This is impossible!"
Unless, of course, this sacred rune stone has been infused with terrifying power by a top expert, or has been covered with a heaven-defying sacred rune array!
Just as he was filled with doubt and burning with anger, an old and majestic voice came from the depths of the Hall of Worship. It was calm as water, but it exploded in the ears of the Lord of the Silent Court like thunder, with an irresistible pressure: "Get out."
This single word, seemingly gentle, contained immense power, instantly sweeping across the entire back mountain.
The Lord of the Silent Court trembled as if struck by lightning. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to his knees. A fear that originated from the depths of his soul surged up in his heart... The owner of this voice was terrifyingly powerful, far beyond his imagination!
He dared not linger for a moment, nor harbor any resentment. Without a word, he turned and left, staggering, but using all his strength, he vanished into the night sky in the blink of an eye, not daring to leave behind even a harsh word...
He knew that if he lingered any longer, he would surely die.
Ling Xiao stood at the entrance of the Hall of Offerings, his gaze fixed on the low-grade holy rune stone inside. He seemed lost in thought, his brows furrowing slightly... The power he had just witnessed was far too terrifying; it was definitely not something an ordinary low-grade holy rune stone could possess.
"That stone," Ling Xiao said slowly, his tone tinged with doubt, as if he wanted to ask about the reason behind it.
"This was a backup plan I kept." The aged voice rang out again, with a hint of a smile.
“That bastard is too arrogant. He thinks that the Holy Rune Academy is easy to bully and that I have really passed away. Today, let him learn a lesson and let him know that the Holy Rune Academy is not a place where he can run wild.”
Ling Xiao turned around and looked into the depths of the offering hall. In the flickering candlelight, an old figure slowly emerged from the darkness and walked towards him step by step.
He was a thin, elderly man with white hair and beard, a gaunt face marked by the passage of time, yet he was still vigorous.
His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if they could see through everything in the world. He was surrounded by a faint holy rune power. His temperament was elegant and dignified, and he had the demeanor of a grandmaster. He was none other than Shi Wensheng, the founder of the Holy Rune Academy!
"Disciple Yao Tianji pays respects to the Ancestral Master!"
Upon seeing the old man's face clearly, Yao Tianji was visibly shaken. The doubt and anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by boundless respect and awe.
He strode forward, knelt down with a thud, and bowed deeply, not even having the courage to raise his head.
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, understanding the situation, and followed suit with a fist and palm salute, saying respectfully, "Disciple Ling Xiao greets Master."
Shi Wensheng waved his hand gently and said in a mild tone, "Get up."
Yao Tianji quickly stood up, head bowed, not daring to make the slightest move. He looked at Ling Xiao, then at Shi Wensheng, his doubts deepening. Finally, he couldn't help but ask:
"Master, you just mentioned Lingxiao, is he a disciple you recently accepted?"
Shi Wensheng glanced at him, his tone tinged with displeasure: "What, is that not allowed? Do I have to report to you when I take on a disciple?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Yao Tianji quickly waved his hand and explained in an urgent tone.
"However, Ancestor, you have been in meditation for hundreds of years. The entire Holy Rune Academy thought you had already passed away. This is too sudden, and this disciple finds it hard to accept for a moment."
"Passed away peacefully?" Shi Wensheng laughed, his tone tinged with disdain. "I was just too lazy to deal with the academy's trivial matters and the disputes in the outside world, so I hid in this hall to cultivate in peace. It's not like I passed away peacefully."
He paused, his gaze returning to Ling Xiao, a deep admiration flashing in his eyes:
"As for taking on disciples... This kid caused such a commotion within the Holy Rune Academy, sometimes hiding his whereabouts and sometimes attracting the attention of the Lord of the Silent Court. It's hard not to pay attention to him."
That old bastard from the Silent Court personally took action, determined to succeed, yet he repeatedly escaped death through his own methods. How many of the younger generation in the entire Chaotic Martial World could match such courage and strength?
Yao Tianji fell silent... He had to admit that Shi Wensheng was right.
Ling Xiao was just a young man from the Realm of Annihilation, yet he was able to survive under the rule of the Lord of the Annihilation Court and even hide himself away with ease. This ability was indeed far beyond that of ordinary young people, and even the genius disciples of the Holy Rune Academy could hardly match it.
"Moreover," Shi Wensheng suddenly paused, his gaze becoming meaningful as he stared intently at Ling Xiao, his tone heavy, "he carries the legacy of that person."
Yao Tianji's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart churning with shock. His voice trembled slightly as he urgently asked, "That one? Ancestor, who is the one you're talking about?"
Shi Wensheng took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words in a low and reverent voice, enough to shake the entire Holy Rune Academy: "Demon Lord."
"Demon Lord."
These two words struck Yao Tianji like a thunderclap. He jolted, gasped sharply, his pupils contracted, and his gaze snapped towards Ling Xiao as if struck by lightning. His eyes were filled with disbelief, shock, and a barely perceptible hint of fear...
The Demon Lord's Legacy!
That was the hottest potato in the entire Chaotic Martial Realm and the Realm of Annihilation. Countless people flocked to it, but many died and perished because of it.
Faced with Yao Tianji's utterly shocked gaze, Ling Xiao remained calm and composed, his lips showing no ripples, neither admitting nor denying.
