Chapter 14772 Jiang Yuhua
Within three days, news of Holy Bitter Mountain's embezzlement of the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword and his betrayal of the Silent Extinction Court will surely spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
At that time, both the pursuers from the Silent Court and various forces coveting the treasure and the Demon Lord's inheritance will flock out to frantically search for the traces of Mount Sacred Bitterness.
As long as someone causes trouble for Mount Sacred Bitterness, his plan to stir up the situation outside the boundary and weaken all forces will be half successful.
As for the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in Saint Bitter Mountain's hands, he wasn't worried at all... This sword had already recognized him as its master, and no matter who it fell into, it wouldn't cause any trouble and would eventually return to his hands.
After leaving the small town on the outskirts of Lin Yuan City, Ling Xiao followed the winding mountain road into the deep mountains. The mountain road was rugged, with ancient trees reaching the sky. The spiritual energy was rich, but it also concealed hidden dangers.
Behind him, the woman dressed as a man, Jiang Yuhua, continued to follow closely, without any attempt to conceal herself, openly and honestly following him, as if to declare her presence.
This blatant following gradually heightened Ling Xiao's vigilance. He didn't immediately attack, but continued onward until he reached a remote, secluded mountain area…
Here, ancient trees provide shade, strange rocks abound, and all is quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the wind. The terrain is rugged, making it a suitable place for action.
Ling Xiao slowly stopped, his aura subtly sharpening. Jiang Yuhua behind him also stopped, walking briskly forward with a half-smile playing on her lips. Her voice was clear and tinged with a hint of teasing:
"This place is picturesque, tranquil, and secluded; it's a perfect burial spot!"
Ling Xiao slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yuhua. His eyes were calm yet held a hint of scrutiny as he spoke indifferently, "And you are, young lady?"
Jiang Yuhua raised her hand and gently pulled off the hair tie, letting her long, black hair cascade down her shoulders like a waterfall. Instantly, she shed the masculine air of her manhood, gaining a touch of feminine charm, yet the sharpness in her eyes remained undeniable. She smiled and said:
"My name is Jiang Yuhua!"
Ling Xiao didn't reply, his tone remaining indifferent as he repeated his previous question: "Why have you been following me all this way, young lady?"
Jiang Yuhua looked Ling Xiao up and down, her eyes filled with a mixture of inquiry and admiration, and asked with a smile, "May I ask how you are addressed, young master?"
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, but did not answer her question. Instead, he asked again in a deep voice, "Why have you been following me all this way, young lady?" His tone was already showing some impatience.
Jiang Yuhua chuckled softly, walked slowly to a spot not far in front of Ling Xiao, stared intently into his eyes, and said firmly, word by word, "You are Ling Xiao!"
Ling Xiao's brows furrowed suddenly, a storm raging within him...
He was wearing a mask, disguised as the Blade Maniac, and deliberately concealed his aura. Ordinary martial artists would never be able to recognize his true identity. Just who is this woman in front of him?
He was able to see right through his disguise!
Before he could think further, Ling Xiao's right hand subtly clenched, and beneath his palm, a sharp sword light quietly surged, its killing intent spreading silently...
Anyone who knows his true identity and whose origins are unknown could become a threat to him; he never leaves any future troubles behind.
Jiang Yuhua seemed to sense the killing intent emanating from him, but her expression remained unchanged, a smile still playing on her lips, and she said in a relaxed tone, "Young Master Ling, are you trying to kill me to silence me?"
Ling Xiao remained silent, his killing intent growing stronger. He neither denied nor admitted anything... Silence was the best answer.
In his view, further words were pointless; if the other party was truly an enemy, taking action was the best option.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuhua showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she smiled slightly, softened her tone, and said earnestly:
"Young Master Ling, there's no need to be so nervous. Since I dared to follow you alone all this way, you might as well think carefully: do you think I'm afraid of you taking action?"
Of course, let me make this clear first: I have no connection with the Silent Court, I am not your enemy, and I harbor no ill will toward you.”
Ling Xiao's killing intent subsided slightly, but he remained vigilant and asked in a low voice, "How did you recognize me, young lady?"
This was the question he most wanted to know at that moment... His disguise was flawless; unless the other party had special methods, it would be impossible for them to see through it.
Jiang Yuhua smiled and said:
"I also know a little about the Holy Bitter Mountain of the Silent Court. Among the elders of the Silent Court, he can be considered an outstanding figure with considerable strength."
However, in my opinion, he doesn't have the ability to easily obtain such a heaven-defying treasure as the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword!
And yet he obtained it so easily, without the slightest difficulty, that leaves only one possibility… it was all deliberately arranged by Young Master Ling; you deliberately gave him the sword!”
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained calm: "What makes you so sure?"
A hint of approval flashed in Jiang Yuhua's eyes as she slowly said:
"Because I have investigated your background! Young Master Ling, you have overcome many obstacles to get to where you are today and have created such a great reputation. How could you be an ordinary person?"
Moreover, as far as I know, Young Master Ling's true combat strength far surpasses that of people like those from Holy Bitter Mountain and Dragon Three Rings.
More importantly, Young Master Ling is by no means a coward who fears death. If he didn't have a plan, he would never have easily handed over such a treasure as the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword.
Therefore, your voluntary surrender of the treasure is clearly an attempt to divert the attention of various forces, protecting both yourself and the beings of the Nirvana Realm, preventing them from being drawn into the catastrophe of the struggle for the supreme treasure.
Ling Xiao remained silent, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yuhua, his vigilance growing even stronger... This woman knew so much about his background; she had clearly come prepared, and there must be a powerful force supporting her.
Jiang Yuhua continued, "Now, you have used this sword to make the Silent Court run around in circles, causing the Holy Bitter Mountain to defect, making the Silent Court lose face, and stirring up the situation outside the realm. I must say, Young Hero Ling, you really have good skills!"
If I'm not mistaken, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword has already recognized you as its master, hasn't it?
Because without its active cooperation, you could never have used it to set up such a meticulous plan, let alone silently control everything in the hands of Mount Sinai.
Ling Xiao remained silent, but the sword light beneath his palm grew increasingly intense, and his aura became sharp once more…
Jiang Yuhua knows too much. Even if she says she has no ill intentions, she is still a huge hidden danger.
He was never a soft-hearted person; if he encountered someone who deserved to be killed, he would never hesitate for a moment!
Jiang Yuhua seemed to see through his thoughts, but remained calm and said with a smile, "Young Master Ling, don't rush to make a move. I have a reminder and a suggestion. Would you like to hear them?"
Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered a single word: "Speak!"
He wanted to hear what else this woman had to say.
