Chapter 14795 Business
Ling Xiao recognized the newcomer's face... Jiang Muguang, a member of Jiang Chenguang's clan, and also a top expert in the Jiang family, with formidable strength and a ruthless personality.
Was he here looking for himself?
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them beneath his mask, as he gripped the Bloodthirsty Blade tightly in secret… He had no grudges against the Jiang family, so why would Jiang Muguang come looking for him? And judging from the other party's aura, he was up to no good.
Jiang Muguang's sharp gaze swept over his surroundings, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He murmured, "Where did they go? I clearly sensed a strange presence, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye?"
After saying that, he blurred into a blur and quickly searched the surroundings, releasing his aura as he carefully examined every corner.
Ling Xiao remained hidden in place, motionless, not daring to even breathe... Jiang Muguang was quite strong, and if he were discovered, it would inevitably lead to a fierce battle. In that case, his identity would be exposed, which would be a great loss.
Sure enough, a moment later, Jiang Muguang reappeared in the same spot, looking around with even greater confusion in his eyes, but still couldn't find any trace of Ling Xiao.
He pondered for a moment, but ultimately failed to find any clues. He snorted coldly, and with a flash, he disappeared completely from the area.
Only after Jiang Muguang's aura completely dissipated did Ling Xiao slowly release the concealment runes, revealing himself and falling into deep thought.
Why exactly did Jiang Muguang come looking for me?
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he clearly came with ill intentions and seemed to have some purpose aimed at me. When did I offend the Jiang family?
Upon careful reflection, he realized that apart from Jiang Chenguang helping him transfer the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, he had no other interactions with the Jiang family, let alone any grudges or grievances.
I thought about it for a long time, but I still had no clue.
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, deciding not to think about it anymore... He would deal with whatever came his way, no matter why Jiang Muguang came looking for him, as long as he dared to provoke him, he would be ready to fight.
With this in mind, Ling Xiao didn't linger any longer and turned to rush towards the Holy Rune Academy...
He wanted to sneak into the Holy Rune Academy to personally witness the auction, see who would ultimately win the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword, and see what the Silent Court would do.
The Holy Rune Academy has been bustling with activity and noise these past few days.
Martial artists and representatives from various regions of the Chaotic Martial Realm and the Silent Annihilation Realm flocked to the Holy Rune Academy, all for the sake of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword.
However, the Holy Rune Academy was also extremely well-guarded. Holy Rune traps were set up everywhere inside and outside the academy, and countless top Holy Rune Masters and powerful individuals patrolled the area.
Every visitor is strictly checked to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble or secretly steal the sword.
With the help of the concealed holy runes, Ling Xiao carefully avoided the patrolling experts and holy rune traps, and found an opening to quietly sneak into the Holy Rune Academy.
It must be said that the Holy Rune Academy is indeed magnificent and profound.
The academy's mountain gate alone occupies the entire continuous mountain range. The gate is covered with densely packed holy runes, exuding a powerful holy rune force, majestic and imposing.
After stepping through the mountain gate, the view suddenly opened up...
Ahead of the mountains lies a boundless plain, covered with exotic flowers and rare herbs. The spiritual energy there is so dense it's almost condensed into droplets. Countless Saint Rune Masters are meditating cross-legged on the plain, their bodies surrounded by a faint halo of Saint Runes.
At the edge of the plain, a massive mountain rises abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds with its majestic and awe-inspiring presence.
That giant peak resembles a naturally formed sacred rune, with clear and lifelike lines, as if it were born from heaven and earth... This is the core area of the Sacred Rune Academy, Sacred Rune Peak!
Legend has it that this peak was formed by nature without any trace of human intervention.
The founder of the Holy Rune Academy, while traveling the world, accidentally discovered this mountain. He was immediately drawn to its spiritual energy and terrain, so he established the Holy Rune Academy here, which has been passed down for over a thousand years.
On the summit of Sacred Pattern Peak, numerous palaces and pavilions stand, exuding a magnificent aura.
There are thirty-six main halls alone, each one with carved beams and painted rafters, covered with precious sacred runes, and exuding a rich sacred rune power.
There are 108 side halls, scattered in a well-organized manner on the mountain peak. Their scale is no less than that of a bustling city.
In front of the main hall of Saint Rune Peak, crowds surged and the noise was deafening.
Ordinary martial artists and representatives of minor forces were stopped outside the hall by the disciples of the Holy Rune Academy and could only watch from a distance.
The leaders of prominent forces and top experts were respectfully invited into the hall by the people of the Holy Rune Academy to await the start of the auction.
Ling Xiao mingled among the crowd outside the hall, keeping his head down and concealing his presence, never revealing himself in the slightest.
He knew that this kind of place was a melting pot of all sorts of people and a gathering place for powerful individuals. Once his identity was exposed, he would inevitably be besieged by countless people. Even with the blessing of the holy runes, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
Just then, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly solidified, and a vast and mighty pressure, carrying the power to suppress all things, swept in from the direction of the Holy Rune Academy's mountain gate... The people of the Silent Annihilation Court had arrived.
The person who arrived was none other than the ruler of the Silent Court, the Lord of the Silent Court.
He was dressed in a long black robe with dragon patterns, his posture was as upright as a pine tree, and a faint black mist surrounded him.
His steps were steady, each step seeming to tread on the hearts of everyone present. The invisible pressure silenced the surrounding martial artists, who instinctively bowed and retreated.
He walked to the main hall of Saint Rune Peak, his narrow eyes sweeping lightly over the surroundings. His gaze was like a deep pool, seemingly calm, but actually concealing a sharp edge.
He knew perfectly well that Ling Xiao, who had repeatedly ruined his plans and caused the Silent Court to suffer heavy losses, must be hiding somewhere in the Holy Rune Academy, spying from the shadows.
Even with his terrifying half-step True Realm cultivation, when he used all his divine soul power to investigate, he still couldn't detect the slightest trace of the other party's aura, as if that person had never existed.
This concealment technique... is it really that terrifying?
A hint of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Silent Court. He thought to himself: He had already sent people to thoroughly investigate the origin of this concealment technique. Only by finding its root can he come up with a way to counter it.
Otherwise, with his strange concealment technique, that kid could appear and disappear unpredictably, remaining invincible forever, and would sooner or later become a major threat to the Silent Court.
Just then, Yao Tianji, the dean of the Holy Rune Academy, quickly came out to greet him. He had a gentle smile on his face, cupped his hands, and spoke respectfully but not humbly: "Lord of the Silent Court, your presence is an honor. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner!"
The Lord of the Silent Court slowly withdrew his gaze, a faint smile appearing on his face. His tone was calm yet carried an air of authority: "Dean Yao, how have you been?"
Yao Tianji laughed and gestured for him to enter: "Lord of the Silent Court, you must be tired from your journey. Please come inside and let's discuss this in detail."
