Chapter 14801 Little Grandmaster
That was the obsession that the Holy Rune Academy had held for many years, an achievement that no one in the academy could reach since the founding master.
Seeing that he had relented, the Lord of the Silent Court smiled even more and said in a relaxed tone, "It's very simple. I only need to borrow one of your sect's treasures for a short time, and I will return it to you when I'm done."
Yao Tianji stared intently at him, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, his tone tinged with uncertainty: "What you want to borrow, is a high-grade six-star tracking holy rune stone?"
The Lord of the Silent Court smiled and nodded, making no attempt to conceal his intentions: "It is this very thing. There is nothing else in the world that can break Lingxiao's strange concealment technique."
Yao Tianji fell silent again, his brows furrowing even more deeply…
The Advanced Six-Star Tracking Sacred Rune Stone is a treasure personally crafted by the founder, Shi Wensheng. There is only one of its kind in the entire Sacred Rune Academy, making it one of the academy's most prized possessions.
This sacred rune stone possesses heaven-defying power... It can track everything in the world, no matter how well the other party hides, no matter where they hide, it can lock onto them and leave them nowhere to hide.
Ling Xiao's concealment techniques are unparalleled; even the Lord of the Silent Court is helpless against him and cannot detect his presence. The only way to find Ling Xiao is indeed to rely on this high-grade six-star tracking rune stone.
Seeing his hesitation, the Lord of the Silent Court waved the ancient book in his hand and said with a smile, "Dean Yao, as long as you are willing to lend it to me, this ancient book will be handed over immediately and belong to the Holy Rune Academy."
Yao Tianji remained silent, his inner struggle growing increasingly intense...
The advanced six-star tracking holy rune stone is a relic of the founder, extremely precious, and should not be lent out easily; however, the allure of the ancient holy book is hard to resist, as it is the key to the rise of the Holy Rune Academy.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Silent Court added fuel to the fire, his tone somewhat seductive, and smiled meaningfully:
"Dean Yao, as far as I know, your academy's path of sacred runes has stagnated for many years. No one has produced a sacred rune master who can draw high-level seven-star sacred rune stones, and no one can even replicate high-level six-star sacred rune stones."
This ancient book in my hand is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. It will not only elevate your personal mastery of Sacred Runes, but also provide the entire Sacred Rune Academy with the hope of breaking through its bottlenecks and regaining its former glory.
What are you still hesitating for?
Yao Tianji closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. In the end, the scales in his heart tipped towards the ancient book of the Holy Temple... For the future of the Holy Rune Academy, this high-level six-star tracking Holy Rune Stone could only be borrowed.
He slowly opened his eyes and solemnly uttered a single word: "Okay."
The smile on the face of the Lord of the Silent Court instantly deepened. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Dean Yao. Afterwards, I will certainly not treat the Holy Rune Academy unfairly."
Yao Tianji said no more, his expression serious. He slowly opened his palm, and a six-colored light slowly emerged. A palm-sized, crystal-clear holy rune stone slowly floated in his palm... It was the high-grade six-star tracking holy rune stone.
Six-colored light flowed endlessly on the stone, yet the light was restrained and unassuming, but it exuded a powerful and strange force. Just by getting close, one could feel the powerful tracking force contained within it.
The moment the sacred rune stone appeared, even the usually composed and calm Lord of the Silent Court became solemn, his gaze fixed on the sacred rune stone, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes...
The high-grade six-star sacred rune stone was personally crafted by Shi Wensheng and can be considered a treasure in the sacred rune world. Even he dared not underestimate it.
Yao Tianji closed his eyes and concentrated, chanting incantations. The obscure and difficult-to-understand spells rang out, and the space around him began to ripple like water. Streams of faint holy rune power slowly flowed into the high-grade six-star tracking holy rune stone.
A moment later, the six-colored light on the Sacred Rune Stone suddenly surged, and a thin ray of light shot out from the stone, extending towards the depths of the Sacred Rune Academy.
Yao Tianji frowned slightly and uttered three words in a solemn tone: "Hall of Offerings".
Before he finished speaking, his figure blurred, turning into a blur and disappearing from the spot in an instant, heading towards the direction of the Hall of Worship.
The Lord of the Silent Court followed closely behind, a hint of urgency and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes... Ling Xiao, this time, let's see where you can hide!
In the blink of an eye, Yao Tianji, the Lord of the Silent Court, and their respective entourages appeared together in front of the Hall of Worship on the back mountain of the Holy Rune Academy.
Yao Tianji stared intently at the ancient and solemn worship hall, his expression filled with doubt... Why would Ling Xiao be hiding here?
This is a sacred place where the academy worships its ancestral master; ordinary people would never dare to trespass here.
Without further thought, he lifted his foot to step forward and enter the offering hall.
Just as his foot was about to touch the threshold of the offering hall, an invisible barrier appeared out of thin air, like transparent glass, blocking him out. A gentle yet powerful force came, causing him to stagger back two steps.
Yao Tianji froze, his face filled with bewilderment... What happened?
When did the Hall of Offerings erect such a powerful barrier? As the Dean of the Holy Rune Academy, he was completely unaware of it!
The Lord of the Silent Court raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and a vast and boundless dark power swept out like a tsunami, crashing fiercely towards the Hall of Offerings…
He refused to believe that this invisible barrier could withstand his full-force attack.
However, the dark power that was powerful enough to shatter mountains and sever rivers, crushing everything, vanished silently into the air before it even touched the doors of the temple, as if it had never existed, without even causing a ripple.
The Lord of the Silent Court narrowed his eyes, a hint of solemnity and disbelief flashing within them... The power of this barrier was truly terrifying? It could even easily neutralize his full-force attack?
He turned to look at Yao Tianji, only to see that Yao Tianji also looked bewildered, clearly unaware of the origin of the barrier or who had set it up.
Just then, the ancient door of the offering hall, which had been closed for hundreds of years, slowly opened, and a soft halo of light spilled out from inside the hall, dispelling the surrounding cold atmosphere.
A tall and upright figure slowly walked out from the door, his steps steady and his expression calm. It was Ling Xiao, whom everyone had been searching for.
Ling Xiao stepped out of the palace gate, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd before him, finally settling on Yao Tianji. A half-smile curved his lips, he slightly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, yet also a touch of certainty:
"Dean Yao, according to seniority, you should call me... Junior Grandmaster, right?"
These words exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap. Everyone was completely stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at Ling Xiao... Junior Master?
Ling Xiao actually dared to let Yao Tianji, the dean of the Holy Rune Academy, call him Junior Grandmaster? This is simply outrageous!
Yao Tianji's face darkened, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. He was about to reprimand Yao Tianji when the Lord of the Silent Court, standing to the side, was already burning with rage...
The Ling Xiao he had been searching for was so arrogant. Not only did he not hide, but he also dared to provoke him in public and even presumptuously called himself the junior grandmaster of the Holy Rune Academy!
