Chapter 14741 The Court Master, Provoked
Because the true form of the Lord of the Silent Court still needs to be stationed in the Silent Court to guard against sneak attacks from other forces, and is even more afraid that if he personally descends, he will be killed on the spot by the Moon Maiden!
The Moon Maiden gazed at the gradually blurring clone, then suddenly spoke. Her voice was clear and gentle, yet carried an unwavering resolve; each word resounded through the void:
“Originally, the life and death of the Silent Realm had nothing to do with me. But since my man has chosen to protect this place, then…”
Having said that, she slowly walked to the avatar of the Lord of the Silent Court, raised her eyes to look directly at him, her gaze devoid of any emotion, yet carrying an overwhelming confidence:
"From this day forward, I will protect this world. Go back and tell your people in the Holy Temple: come at me. If anyone can withstand even one of my attacks, I will admit defeat."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Moon Maiden's figure swayed slightly and instantly disappeared into the Sumeru Array Diagram. The Sumeru Array Diagram under her control also vanished as if it had never existed.
In the arena, only the avatar of the Lord of the Silent Court remained, hovering silently in the void. His figure grew fainter and fainter, his aura weaker and weaker, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
He knew that they had all completely underestimated the Moon Maiden's strength.
So the question is, just how powerful is she?
Even the ancient treasure Sumeru Array Diagram borrowed from the main hall of the Holy Temple could not do anything to her;
Even the world-destroying black sphere and blood soul sphere that he painstakingly crafted either submitted or were crushed.
He didn't even dare to descend in his true form, and could only send an avatar to test her... Just how terrifyingly strong was this woman?
There is no answer.
A moment later, the avatar of the Lord of the Silent Court completely dissipated into the void, leaving only a faint trace of his presence as proof that he had been there.
In the endless void, the Moon Maiden stood quietly above the sea of clouds, holding the ancient and weathered Sumeru Array Diagram in her hands. Her gaze softened, and she said softly:
"Find Ling Xiao, follow him, protect him, and in the future I will grant you a great destiny to help you break through the shackles of the supreme treasure and evolve a true world."
The Sumeru Array Diagram trembled slightly, and the runes around it shimmered with a soft light, as if responding to the Moon Maiden's command.
Immediately afterwards, it transformed into a jet-black streak of light, piercing through the air and hurtling towards the direction of the Realm of Annihilation, disappearing into the horizon.
The Moon Maiden gazed at the direction where the Sumeru Array had disappeared, standing silently for a long time. A gentle breeze stirred her blue robes, her hair fluttered lightly, and the oppressive aura around her gradually subsided, leaving only a faint trace of loneliness.
Then, she slowly turned around, her figure gradually fading into the distance under the starlight, eventually disappearing into the endless void, leaving only a pure and lonely silhouette.
……
Beyond the realm, in a celestial mountain shrouded in mist and imbued with profound cultural heritage, in an ancient and tranquil room, an old man dressed in a black robe with a full head of white hair slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes, deep as an abyss, exuded a coldness and majesty that had endured countless ages. He was the true form of the Lord of the Silent Court!
The old man slowly rose, walked to the window, raised his eyes to look at the distant horizon, his gaze piercing through layers of void, as if he could see everything in the Realm of Annihilation.
A moment later, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips, his voice low and sinister:
"Do you think you can scare me like this? Back then, even the Holy Temple Supreme didn't dare to call himself invincible. What gives you the right to spout such arrogant words when you're just a junior from a lower plane?"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of ruthlessness and resentment flashing within them, and his aura instantly became violent:
"Since you want to fight, then I'll fight you properly! Issue the order to mobilize all the forces of the Silent Extinction Court, regardless of the cost, to track down Ling Xiao's whereabouts with all our might!"
"As long as we capture Ling Xiao, we can hold that woman's weakness in our hands. Then, let's see how arrogant she can be!"
……
In the Realm of Silent Extinction, the turmoil at Broken Boundary Mountain gradually subsided.
After returning from Broken Boundary Mountain, Ling Xiao did not linger at all and went straight to Lin Yuan City, the current capital of the Overlord Empire.
At this moment, Lin Yuan City is already the core of the Silent Realm, gathering powerful figures from all sides, and serving as the first line of defense against threats from outside the realm.
Inside the city's council hall, the lights were on, and the leaders and top experts of various forces had already gathered there. Their expressions varied, but all of them conveyed a sense of solemnity.
All eyes turned to Ling Xiao in the center of the hall.
Ling Xiao slowly glanced around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. His voice was steady and powerful, clearly resonating throughout the entire hall:
"I'm sure you've all heard about the Broken Boundary Mountain. That's right, the barrier outside the boundary has completely disappeared. From now on, people from the Silent Extinction Realm can go outside the boundary, and people from outside the boundary can easily come here."
As soon as the words were spoken, strange looks flashed in the eyes of everyone in the hall—excitement, longing, worry, and fear.
Out of bounds!
It was a completely new world, a world full of unknowns and opportunities. Not only did the warriors of Broken Boundary Mountain yearn for it, but the powerful figures of the Overlord Empire also longed for it.
That was their only hope of breaking through their own limits and pursuing a higher peak in martial arts.
Ling Xiao took in everyone's expressions, his tone slightly more forceful, carrying a hint of warning:
"I advise you all not to entertain this idea for now. Those people outside the realm are not only incredibly powerful, but they also have no goodwill towards us people of the Silent Realm. In fact, you could say they don't welcome our existence at all."
The hall fell silent instantly, and the excitement and longing on everyone's faces were gradually replaced by solemnity and worry.
They all knew that Ling Xiao never exaggerated, so if he said that, the situation outside the realm must be even more dangerous than they imagined.
Ling Xiao continued, his tone serious: "Those from beyond the boundary have ill intentions. Their arrival this time is not merely for exploration, but with a clear purpose, one could even say, they have come with the intention of destruction."
At this moment, a powerful figure clad in armor, exuding a formidable aura, suddenly stood up and spoke, his voice tinged with urgency:
"Emperor Batian, those black mists that previously shrouded the Realm of Annihilation, which harmed countless lives, were they the work of people from outside the realm?"
Ling Xiao nodded slowly, his tone heavy: "That's right, those black mists are poisonous mists laid down by the people of the Silent Annihilation Court from beyond the boundary. Their purpose is to weaken the strength of the Silent Annihilation Realm and prepare for the subsequent invasion."
The armored warrior's face darkened, a flash of anger crossing his eyes: "Do they want to destroy our Silent Realm and exterminate us all?"
Ling Xiao said softly, "They did have this plan before. However, it was stopped by me and a few friends."
The armored warrior gave Ling Xiao a deep look, his eyes filled with admiration: "Your Majesty's strength is truly unfathomable. If it weren't for Your Majesty, my Silent Realm would probably have been devastated long ago."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, their gazes falling once more on Ling Xiao, their expressions of awe growing even stronger.
