Chapter 14689 Mother Queen
Qi Tian hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of confidence:
"Currently, there are approximately 120 people who have clearly stated their willingness to fight to the death with the Sword Star Holy Temple. The lowest level among them is at least the first level of the Realm Lord realm, making them capable of fighting; among them, there are over 30 who have reached the middle level of the Realm Lord realm; and there are a total of 12 top-tier experts at the high level of the Realm Lord realm..."
These words caused a huge uproar in Ling Xiao's heart.
Over 120 Realm Lord-level powerhouses! Such a foundation truly befits a top-tier force on par with the Sword Star Holy Hall! However, he remained outwardly calm and continued to press, "What about the Sword Star Holy Hall's top combat strength?"
Qi Tian's expression instantly turned serious, and his tone became solemn:
"The most troublesome one is naturally Sect Master Gu Cangming. His cultivation is unfathomable. On the surface, he is at the peak of the lower-level Lord, but in reality, he has already touched the threshold of the 'middle-level Lord' and is only one step away from reaching a higher realm."
"In addition, he possesses the Heavenly Gang Sword Body and has cultivated the Returning Void Sword Intent, making him virtually invincible among his peers in terms of combat strength."
He paused, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes:
"Besides him, there is the old man who just tracked you down... Mu Yin. This person is of very high seniority and is Gu Cangming's mentor. He has been living in seclusion in the forbidden area of the Sword Star Holy Hall for many years and does not concern himself with worldly affairs."
"In terms of strength, he is probably even stronger than Gu Cangming. He is the true pillar of the Sword Star Holy Hall! In a one-on-one fight, no one in Breaking Boundaries Mountain can reliably defeat him."
Ling Xiao frowned and said in a deep voice, "In such a vast Broken Boundary Mountain, is there really no senior who can restrain Mu Yin?"
Qi Tian shook his head and sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"Mount Broken Realm is different from the Sword Star Holy Hall, which is centralized. Most of the strong people under its command are proud and aloof, living a carefree life. Some are in seclusion cultivating to break through to a higher realm, while others are traveling around seeking opportunities. Each of them has their own concerns."
"Those who are willing to stand up and fight against the powerful enemy are already rare and precious. There are still a few reclusive masters with extraordinary strength, either hiding deep in secret realms or traveling in outer space. Their attitudes are unclear and they are simply difficult to persuade."
"If no one can restrain Mu Yin," Qi Tian's voice grew heavier, "once the war begins, Mu Yin alone can sweep away most of our army's strongmen, and we will be in a very passive position with little chance of victory!"
As he finished speaking, he looked at Ling Xiao, his gaze carrying a hint of barely perceptible probing: "I wonder if the senior behind you who was able to kill Yun Yin... could step in and restrain either Mu Yin or Gu Cangming?"
The person behind me?
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly to himself. The green-robed man, the Faceless Dharma Image King, was merely a fleeting image and had already departed; the Sword Fiend's clone possessed less than 30% of its energy remaining, and would completely dissipate once it made a move. This trump card must not be used unless it was a matter of life and death.
But he couldn't say a word about it.
He looked thoughtful, then slowly spoke, his tone carrying just the right amount of solemnity: "To be honest, the senior behind me has already had a brief encounter with Mu Yin."
"Oh?" Qi Tian's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What was the result?"
Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "Senior Mu Yin... did not dare to accept the challenge and chose to retreat."
Qi Tian felt a sudden chill and gasped!
To make Mu Yin retreat without a fight! How terrifying must such strength be? He hurriedly asked, "Where is that senior now? Can we ask her to come and help? If she is willing to take action, we will surely win this battle!"
Ling Xiao shook his head with a wry smile, his tone full of regret: "What appeared earlier was just a projection of the power she left behind with the help of the secret treasure. After the battle with Mu Yin, the energy was exhausted and it completely dissipated."
"Her true form is located extremely far from this world, separated by billions of star rivers. I have tried to contact her using secret methods, but it is difficult to predict when I will be able to reach her."
"Just a projection..." Qi Tian's eyes flashed, and he was already mostly convinced. If a mere projection could frighten Mu Yin, then this senior's true strength must have already reached an unbelievable level!
He couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of regret: "So, in terms of high-end combat power, we are still at an absolute disadvantage."
Ling Xiao asked unwillingly, "Is there really no way to ask other reclusive seniors of Broken Boundary Mountain for help?"
Qi Tian glanced at him, his tone helpless: "I've tried contacting several people in the name of the sect, but there's been no response. Perhaps..."
Ling Xiao immediately took over the conversation, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Perhaps, this junior should give it a try? My status is special, so perhaps I can use a different approach to persuade you to come out of seclusion."
Qi Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded, as if he had made up his mind:
"Very well, we're already at a dead end, so we can only try our luck at 'Listening to the Waves Cliff'!"
“There lives a reclusive old friend with an extremely eccentric personality, known as the ‘Mother Queen.’ Her strength is unfathomable; if she were to take action, she would be equivalent to an elite army and might be able to restrain Mu Yin.”
He emphasized this point, his tone extremely solemn:
"However, remember this: never mention the words 'offspring,' 'descendants,' or 'inheritance' when you talk to this person! Remember this! Otherwise, let alone getting her to help you, it's uncertain whether you can even leave Listening Waves Cliff alive!"
Ling Xiao was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"
Qi Tian shook his head, a hint of apprehension on his face: "I don't know the specific reasons either. But these are lessons learned by countless predecessors who paid with their blood and lives. Just do as they say, and don't be curious!"
Ling Xiao nodded solemnly: "This junior has remembered!"
The two were about to set off for Listening to the Waves Cliff.
Just then, a deep and resonant sword cry suddenly echoed through the sky!
The sword's cry was accompanied by a familiar, heart-pounding Daoist aura, which, like an overwhelming tide, instantly enveloped the entire airspace of Broken Boundary Mountain!
Qi Tian's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up at the sky, a flash of shock and anger in his eyes: "It's Mu Yin! That old bastard really did catch up!"
He made a decisive move and said sternly to Ling Xiao, "I'll go and find a way to lure him away! Young friend, hurry to Listening Waves Cliff! Whether you can persuade the Empress Mother is a matter of life and death for Breaking Boundaries Mountain, and it all depends on you!"
Before he finished speaking, a vast and boundless aura erupted from his body, transforming him into a streak of light and hurtling towards the direction from which the sword's cry came!
Ling Xiao dared not delay for even a moment. He discerned the direction indicated by Qi Tian, pushed his movement technique to its limit, and transformed into a blur as he raced towards the far north of Broken Boundary Mountain.
Listening to the Waves Cliff is located in the far north of the Broken Boundary Mountain, deep within a treacherous mountain range shrouded in cold mist year-round.
Ling Xiao fought his way through thorns and brambles, passing through layers of mist and natural formations, and finally saw an extremely simple hut on a solitary cliff facing an endless sea of clouds.
The cottage is built on a foundation of millennia-old ice and decorated with ancient vines, exuding a chilling aura.
In front of the house, on a smooth, mirror-like surface of cold jade, a woman leaned against the wall.
Her hair was as white as frost, but her complexion was rosy like a young girl's. She looked to be only in her early thirties. Her figure was enchanting and graceful, with exquisite curves, exuding an indescribable charm.
