Chapter 14773 Taking Action
Jiang Yuhua's smile faded, her expression turning serious as she said:
"Your plans are indeed ingenious and have all worked, successfully stirring up the situation outside the borders."
However, you should know that the truly top experts outside the realm are far superior to those from Mount Shengku. They must have already seen through your plan!
Moreover, they…including the higher-ups of the Silent Court, must have already guessed that you are the mastermind behind all of this!
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's lips suddenly curled into a faint, cold smile, his tone disdainful: "So what?"
Just as Jiang Yuhua was about to speak, she suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Ling Xiao again, a knowing glint in her eyes. She smiled and said:
"I understand! This isn't a conspiracy at all, it's an open strategy!"
Whether or not those people see through your plan, as long as they harbor greed and desire the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword and the Demon Lord's inheritance, they will inevitably fall into your trap and will have no way to escape!
Ling Xiao glanced at Jiang Yuhua without saying a word, but a fleeting look of approval crossed his eyes... This woman has some insight; she can see through his schemes and is no ordinary person.
Jiang Yuhua looked at Ling Xiao, her tone becoming serious again: "Young Master Ling, you are dancing on the edge of a knife! Once those top experts join forces against you, even if you are powerful and have the blessing of the Holy Rune, it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed!"
Ling Xiao spoke softly, his tone calm yet with a hint of certainty: "Miss Jiang, if I'm not mistaken, our meeting today is not by chance. You came here specifically to see me, right?"
He couldn't believe that someone of unknown origin who knew him so well would follow him all this way for no reason.
Jiang Yuhua smiled frankly, did not deny it, and nodded: "That's right! I did come here specifically to see you."
Ling Xiao said, "If Miss Jiang has something to say, please speak frankly! As you know, I am currently very busy and do not have time to deal with you."
Jiang Yuhua smiled slightly, looked directly at Ling Xiao, and got straight to the point: "Young Master Ling, I want to make a deal with you!"
Ling Xiao nodded slowly, his tone indifferent: "Tell me about it!"
Jiang Yuhua took a deep breath and said seriously, "We want to borrow the supreme demonic power from your Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword!"
The power of the ultimate demon!
A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes...
The power of the ultimate demon is the core power of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, containing endless killing intent and demonic energy. Ordinary martial artists simply cannot control it. The fact that the forces behind this woman actually want to use this power means that their purpose is definitely not simple.
Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to borrow the power of the Supreme Demon?"
Jiang Yuhua nodded, her tone certain: "Exactly! We are only borrowing it for a period of time. After we are done using it, we will return it intact without damaging the sword in the slightest."
Ling Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile, and he asked directly, "What can I get in return?"
He never does a losing business; he would never agree to such a request without sufficient benefit.
Jiang Yuhua smiled and said, "You've gained a powerful ally! The forces behind us are strong enough to rival the Silent Court. With us as your ally, you'll avoid many detours and have more protection when you act outside the realm in the future."
Ling Xiao shook his head without hesitation, his tone tinged with disdain: "Let's get practical!"
Allies? They're nothing but illusions.
He didn't believe Jiang Yuhua at all; some people can only share happiness, but not hardship.
Moreover, he firmly believed that the woman before him, and the forces behind her, would never offend a top-tier power like the Silent Court for his sake.
Moreover, unreliable allies are not only useless, but will also bring endless trouble.
It's safer to have tangible benefits than an elusive ally.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Jiang Yuhua's eyes, then she smiled and said:
"How about this? We'll give you two mid-grade holy rune stones. Young Master Ling is probably aware of the value of mid-grade holy rune stones; they're enough for you to cultivate for a long time and can also be used to inscribe many powerful holy runes."
Intermediate Holy Rune Stone!
Ling Xiao frowned slightly...
Although intermediate-grade holy rune stones are precious, they are no longer of much use to him now. What he needs more right now are high-grade holy rune stones to improve his holy rune skills and inscribe more powerful holy rune arrays.
He immediately spoke, his tone firm: "Intermediate level won't do, I need at least one high-level holy rune stone!"
Jiang Yuhua's expression changed slightly, then she shook her head, her tone tinged with difficulty:
“Young Master Ling, your price is far too high! We only need to borrow the power of the supreme demon, not take it away. A high-grade holy rune stone is simply too expensive, and I cannot make the decision.”
Ling Xiao said no more, turned and left...
He never liked haggling; if the other party wasn't willing to agree, he would simply give up, seeing no need to waste time. As for Jiang Yuhua, if she dared to pester him again, he wouldn't hesitate to take direct action and eliminate any future trouble.
Just then, Jiang Yuhua suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of threat: "Young Master Ling, wait a moment! I think the people of the Silent Extinction Court must be very eager to know your whereabouts, right?"
The moment the words fell, Ling Xiao's figure vanished as if he had never existed. His aura, spiritual energy fluctuations, and even soul fluctuations were completely concealed, as if he had merged with the world without leaving a trace...
He instantly unleashed the full power of the hidden holy runes.
Jiang Yuhua frowned suddenly, her heart filled with shock. She quickly activated her divine sense and swept it around, covering the entire heart of the deep mountain and carefully examining every corner. But no matter how she searched, she could not find any trace of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao has disappeared?
Jiang Yuhua was increasingly surprised. She once again activated all her divine sense and searched the surroundings again and again, not even missing the crevices of rocks or the inside of ancient trees, but still found nothing. It was as if Ling Xiao had really disappeared into thin air.
Just as she was about to withdraw her consciousness, an extremely sharp sword light suddenly burst forth from the void behind her.
The sword light was dazzling, carrying immense holy rune power and killing intent. Its speed was astonishing, and it instantly pierced her back, leaving her with no way to avoid it!
Jiang Yuhua's eyes narrowed suddenly, alarm bells rang in her mind, and without thinking, she forcibly shifted her body to the side, using her extreme speed to instantly leap more than ten feet away, barely avoiding this fatal blow.
However, even with her extremely quick reaction, the residual force of the sword light still struck her left arm.
puff...
With a soft sound, Jiang Yuhua's left arm was severed by the sword light, and blood gushed out, staining her black outfit red.
Where she had been standing, the void shattered instantly, and jagged spatial rifts spread outwards. A powerful shockwave rippled outwards, causing Ling Xiao, who was hidden in the void, to stagger back several steps, a faint trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
