Chapter 14791 Jiang Tu
As for whether the Silent Court will spare no effort to target him specifically?
Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold, and a flash of killing intent emanated from him.
"Come on then. Perfect timing. I also want to see just how many hidden cards that mysterious Lord of the Silent Court has, and just how strong he really is. It'll also allow the God-Slaying Sword to gain a bit more divine soul power."
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved even faster, as if teleporting, disappearing into the seal of Broken Boundary Mountain.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Silent Court, the atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.
"Your Excellency, please let me leave."
The speaker was dressed in a black robe, with a tall and straight figure and a deep and unfathomable aura, like a lurking ferocious beast. He was none other than Jiang Tu, an elder of the Martial Court of the Silent Annihilation Court.
He was a powerful figure above the Returning to Truth Realm, but his exact level was unknown.
All that is known is that a hundred years ago, he single-handedly slaughtered a top force in the Chaotic Martial World. His methods were ruthless and bloodthirsty, earning him the nickname "Butcher." He was renowned throughout the Chaotic Martial World, striking fear into the hearts of all.
The Lord of the Silent Court sat on his high seat, toying with the teacup in his hand, his expression calm and revealing no emotion: "You want to lower your realm and suppress your cultivation to the lower realm, just to kill that brat Lingxiao?"
"Yes." Jiang Tu bowed, his voice low but carrying an undisguised killing intent.
"That brat is too arrogant. He killed sixteen elites of my Silent Extinction Court, hung their heads at the mountain gate, and openly challenged your authority, Court Master. If we don't tear him to pieces, how can my Silent Extinction Court maintain its reputation? How can we stand in the Chaotic Martial World in the future?"
"Face?" The Lord of the Silent Court suddenly chuckled, a hint of mockery in his voice. "You think I care about that?"
Jiang Tu was taken aback, looked up at the Lord of the Silent Court, his eyes full of doubt... In his view, the reputation of the Silent Court was more important than anything else.
The Lord of the Silent Court slowly stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the pitch-black night outside, his figure appearing exceptionally lonely and cold.
“That Ling Xiao was able to kill Jin Junsen and sixteen others with a single sword strike, break my Red Letter Holy Book, and subdue the evil holy artifact. This shows that he is indeed quite capable and is by no means an ordinary person.”
He paused, his tone becoming serious: "But that's not the point. The point is..."
He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Jiang Tu, a playful glint in his eyes: "The Moon Maiden once said something."
Jiang Tu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face showed shock: "Moon Maiden? You mean that legendary being?"
"It is indeed her." The Lord of the Silent Court nodded, his tone tinged with apprehension.
"She said she had the Netherworld under her protection. I thought she was just saying it casually at the time. After all, how could someone of that level care about a small Netherworld or a bunch of ant-like warriors?"
"But the more I thought about it, the more something seemed off."
He walked back to his seat, sat down again, and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.
“Moon Maiden never speaks without reason. Since she said this, she must have her reasons. Perhaps, Ling Xiao and Moon Maiden have a really close relationship. She might even be Ling Xiao’s wife.”
Jiang Tu remained silent for a moment, then bowed and asked, "Does the Court Master mean to leave that boy alone for the time being?"
"Move, of course we have to move."
The Lord of the Silent Court picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and spoke calmly yet with a hint of ruthlessness.
"But when you go down, do so mainly to test the waters; do not act rashly."
If the Moon Maiden really intervenes, you must withdraw immediately and not linger in the battle, lest you bring annihilation upon my Silent Court.
If she was just saying it casually and didn't really intend to protect that kid.
A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes as he said, word by word, "Then let's take care of that brat while we're at it, deflate his arrogance, and wash away the shame of my Silent Court."
Jiang Tu clasped his hands in a fist salute, his tone firm: "Your subordinate obeys!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, his black robes fluttering in the wind. His killing intent subsided, but he still exuded a chilling sense of oppression.
A moment later, at the seal of Broken Boundary Mountain, a figure in black robes emerged from the spatial vortex; it was none other than Jiang Tu, who had lowered his cultivation level.
He took a deep breath, feeling the power rapidly recovering within his body. A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.
“The Realm of Nirvana,” he murmured, his tone tinged with disdain, “a small world with murky spiritual energy and fragile space.”
He stretched his limbs, his bones cracking and popping, and a powerful aura slowly erupted from his body, causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly.
"Ling Xiao, is it? I'd like to see where you can hide and how many moves you can withstand from me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, his figure as fast as lightning, and was about to rush towards Lin Yuan City, determined to drag Ling Xiao out and tear him to pieces.
Just then...
At the distant horizon, a figure in white slowly emerged, like a celestial being descended from the heavens. A faint white light emanated from his body, seemingly weak, yet carrying an overwhelming pressure that caused the entire world to freeze.
Jiang Tu's pupils suddenly contracted, his steps abruptly halted, and the cruelty and disdain on his face were instantly replaced by extreme fear.
The figure was too far away, so far that only a blurry outline could be seen, and the features and the depth of the aura could not be discerned.
But with just that one glance, Jiang Tu felt his soul tremble wildly, his blood seemed to freeze instantly, and a deep-seated fear shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
It was a fear born of instinct, like an ant looking up at a dragon, like dust facing the sky—utterly irresistible and impossible to resist.
"What...what kind of aura is this?" His voice trembled, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he could barely stand. His body was slightly hunched, as if he were being crushed by an invisible pressure.
The white-clad figure seemed to glance in this direction, making no further moves or unleashing any violent power; it was merely a fleeting look.
But with just that one glance, Jiang Tu felt the world spinning around him, as if struck by lightning. His chest heaved violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the void in front of him red. The spiritual energy within his body instantly became chaotic, even showing signs of dissipation.
"Run...! Run now...!"
With only this one thought in his mind, he dared not harbor any murderous intent. He didn't even dare to look for Ling Xiao's shadow anymore, and turned around to rush madly toward the seal of Broken Boundary Mountain.
He just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, to escape the oppressive aura of that white-clad figure. He felt that if he stayed even a second longer, he would be annihilated.
Just then, a clear, cold voice, like spring water striking stone, gently rang in his ears. It was calm and composed, yet carried an irresistible authority that firmly immobilized him in place.
"Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave."
In that instant, Jiang Tu felt as if his heart had been gripped. Although the voice seemed to come from a distant world, it could turn him into a corpse in an instant.
The Moon Maiden was very angry at this moment.
Although she is temporarily unable to go to the Realm of Annihilation, or even the Realm of Chaos, she is held back by the people of the Holy Temple.
But even if she didn't go there, she could still kill all those scum from a great distance.
