Chapter 14794 Nobody's a Fool
Jiang Chuan looked at Li Hanwen and added, "This is currently the most appropriate and safest option, and the only option that can save the Holy Rune Academy."
Li Hanwen turned to look at Yao Tianji, a questioning look in his eyes.
Yao Tianji nodded slightly, his tone certain: "As Jiang Chuan said, this is the most appropriate choice at present. In addition, everyone should not forget that young man surnamed Ling."
"A young man surnamed Ling?" Li Hanwen frowned slightly, his tone tinged with doubt. "What's wrong with him? He's just a young man from the Realm of Nirvana with a low cultivation level. Even if he has some schemes, he can't cause any real trouble, can he?"
Yao Tianji shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with apprehension:
"This boy is definitely not simple. He was able to remain unharmed under the heavy siege of the Silent Court, and even made the incomparably powerful Silent Court helpless. This is something that no ordinary boy could do."
However, we often overlook him, thinking that his realm is low and he comes from a small world like the Realm of Nirvana, so he is not worth fearing.
He paused, then continued:
"The more this is the case, the more likely we are to suffer losses."
This time, the fact that he could so easily pass the hot potato of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword to us and scheme to drag us into his trap is enough to show that this young man's cunning and vision far exceed our imagination.
Li Hanwen's face darkened, and his tone was filled with anger: "This time, this kid even schemed against our Holy Rune Academy. We can't let him off so easily!"
Yao Tianji shook his head again, his tone calm and rational: "Don't get entangled with him. The motto of our Holy Rune Academy is to remain aloof from worldly affairs, not to be enemies with any force, and not to make enemies with such scheming individuals."
"Once this item is auctioned off, let the Silent Court, those top powers, and this young man surnamed Ling fight over it among themselves. We can simply sit back and watch."
Jiang Chuan nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing: "The dean is absolutely right. We don't need to make enemies of anyone. There's no need to push the entire academy into a dangerous situation for a young man surnamed Ling or a hot potato."
However, it's a bit of a pity that we still have to give up this opportunity to access the Demon Lord's treasure.
Yao Tianji smiled faintly, his tone magnanimous: "I have no choice but to give up. As the dean of the Holy Rune Academy, I cannot push the entire academy and all its disciples into an abyss of no return for a sliver of a vague and uncertain opportunity."
Compared to the Demon Lord's treasure, the safety of the academy is the most important thing.
Having said that, he slowly stood up, looked at Jiang Chenguang standing not far away, and gave an order that left no room for argument:
"Pass down the order that in three days, our Holy Rune Academy will hold a public auction of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in the main hall of Holy Rune Peak. People from all over the world, regardless of their status or power, are welcome to participate in the bidding."
Oh, and send an invitation to the Silent Court as well, make sure they know about it.
Jiang Chenguang bowed slightly and nodded respectfully, replying, "Your subordinate obeys." After saying that, he turned and quickly left to convey Yao Tianji's orders.
The news spread like wildfire, and within a single day, the news that the Holy Rune Academy was going to publicly auction the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword had spread to every corner of the Chaotic Martial Realm and even the Silent Realm.
In an instant, the world was shaken. Countless martial artists and major forces packed their bags and rushed towards the Holy Rune Academy... Everyone wanted to seize the key to unlock the Demon Lord's treasure, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a share of the spoils.
Ling Xiao, of course, also learned of this news, and he had already quietly arrived near the Holy Rune Academy...
Auctioning the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword!
When the news reached Ling Xiao's ears, he was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle...
Hasn't he himself used this tactic of throwing hot potatoes out to others and letting them fight amongst themselves countless times? I never expected that the people from the Holy Rune Academy would also use this trick.
However, the smile only lasted for a moment before fading away, and Ling Xiao's expression became serious.
His original plan was crystal clear:
By using the Holy Rune Academy to restrain the Silent Extinction Court, he could force the two to clash head-on, exhausting each other's strength, while he could reap the benefits, take the opportunity to find Xiao Lianzhu's whereabouts, and consolidate his power in the Silent Extinction Realm.
To everyone's surprise, the Silent Court remained calm and refused to fall for the trap; while the Holy Rune Academy was even more decisive, putting this hot potato on the table and putting it up for sale.
This move can be described as killing two birds with one stone...
They not only completely distanced themselves from the troubles brought by the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, but also took the opportunity to auction off a large number of rare materials and make a fortune. It has to be said that the people of the Holy Rune Academy are indeed shrewd.
Ling Xiao gently shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
You may be shrewd in your calculations, but others aren't fools either!
How could a great sect that has been passed down for thousands of years and has stood firm in the chaotic martial arts world be a group of fools who only know how to cultivate? Their minds are more meticulous than I imagined.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the people of the Holy Rune Academy were really so easy to manipulate, they wouldn't have been able to stand safely for so many years amidst the various powers and become a gathering place for Holy Rune Masters from all over the world.
So here's the question... should he take back the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword, or let it be taken away by someone else?
Ling Xiao stood in the shadows, his brow furrowed, deep in thought for a moment. Soon, he made his decision… he wouldn't take it back.
If I were to rashly try to seize the sword at this moment, I would inevitably expose my identity.
At that time, not only will the people of the Silent Court hunt him down, but the various forces and top experts who come to bid will also turn their attention to him. The entire Chaotic Martial World will relentlessly pursue him.
If he is forced to go into hiding, those people will not be able to find him and will inevitably take their anger out on the Realm of Annihilation and on the people he cares about. At that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Besides, there's no need to take it back.
Isn't the Holy Emblem Academy going to auction it off?
Since they want to stay out of it, why don't we play along and observe how this auction will turn out?
Let's see if the Silent Court will make a move, and let's see if those top forces that are secretly coveting the treasure will show up.
Perhaps, we can find clues about Xiao Lianzhu here, and even use this auction to eliminate more scum who covet the Silent Realm.
With this thought in mind, Ling Xiao decided to turn around and leave, to find a secluded place and wait for the auction to begin.
But just as he was about to move, his brows furrowed suddenly, and alarm bells rang in his mind... A powerful figure was approaching!
The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, he activated his mind, and the hidden holy runes within his body surged forth, enveloping his entire being. His aura, figure, and soul fluctuations were all concealed, as if he had never appeared in this world.
Just as his figure completely disappeared, a figure appeared as if by teleportation in the spot where he had just stood.
