Chapter 14482 The Death of Yun Susha
Just as the old man in white slowly turned around, his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the void, suddenly looked at the water mirror. The mirror surface trembled violently for a moment, then shattered into countless starlight points and dissipated into the air.
The hall fell into a deathly silence; even breathing could be heard clearly.
"Who are they?" Ling Xiao finally sheathed his sword, but the killing intent around him was even stronger than before, and even the candlelight in the hall trembled, almost going out.
The Lord of the Silent Realm toyed with the fragments of the jade ruyi in his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the cracks: "Do you truly understand this Silent Realm?"
Seeing Ling Xiao remain silent, she continued, "The vastness of this realm far exceeds your imagination. Even at its peak, the Realm Lord's Mansion was unable to truly rule the entire region. The forces currently on the surface are merely the tip of the iceberg; those lurking in the shadows are something even I must be wary of."
Ling Xiao turned to leave, but the Lord of the Silent Realm suddenly spoke up: "You already have the answer in your heart, why ask again?"
These words made Ling Xiao pause slightly, but he didn't stop. He transformed into a wisp of black mist and swept out, disappearing instantly outside the hall.
Looking in the direction where the black mist disappeared, the gray-robed elder's face was extremely ugly: "My lord, this kid is progressing too fast! Before long, I'm afraid there will be very few people in the entire Silent Realm who can suppress him."
“So many reclusive bigwigs are helping him, he must be extraordinary. What’s more…” The Lord of the Silent Realm condensed a stream of light at his fingertips, and a jade ruyi was formed again, “He is also the new generation successor personally recognized by the Demon Sect Master.”
She paused, her tone becoming more serious: "Notify the Divine Light Clan that an ominous star is approaching, and tell them to be careful."
……
Above the Divine Light Clan, a ten-thousand-foot-long sword aura suddenly tore through the sky, even causing ripples to appear in the clan's protective formation.
Yun Mubai arrived through the air, his face so solemn it could drip water: "Ling Xiao, do you really want things to escalate to the point of mutual destruction?"
"Let Yun Susha come out." Ling Xiao was surrounded by 360 blood-red sword intents, each carrying an aura of world destruction, even dyeing the clouds below red.
Just as Yun Mubai was about to form a hand seal to activate the formation, a female voice suddenly came from the sea of clouds: "I am here."
Yun Susha's figure slowly emerged, her clothes fluttering gently in the wind.
"Nonsense!" Yun Mubai turned to look at her, his tone full of helplessness. He hadn't set up a defense yet, and it was too dangerous for him to come out now.
"It's alright, with the Pavilion Master here, he can't hurt me." Yun Susha gently shook her head, turned her gaze to Ling Xiao, and was about to say something when she saw the young man in front of her suddenly disappear.
The next moment, Ling Xiao appeared behind her, the scabbard of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword gently pressed against her back, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power: "The person I want to kill, no one can stop me, even if their cultivation is higher than mine."
Yun Mubai's cultivation was indeed several levels higher than his, but just now, under the cover of the blood-red sword intent, Ling Xiao used the concealment technique in the Saint Rune Array to avoid even his aura lock and circled behind Yun Susha in the blink of an eye.
"This sword should have taken your life." Ling Xiao's sword tip turned lightly, knocking off the pearl hairpin from her temple. The pearl fell into the sea of clouds, instantly pulverized by the sword's intent. "Speak, who exactly kidnapped the little fox?"
Yun Susha gave a sorrowful smile, her fingertips clenching the hem of her sleeve so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh: "That day, it was indeed me who led the men to kidnap the little fox, but I..."
The sword rang out again! Ling Xiao abruptly withdrew his sword and retreated, while simultaneously grabbing Yun Susha's wrist. He had just realized that Yun Susha harbored a strange curse within her body. If she uttered just one more word, the curse would erupt, and not only would she die, but he himself would also be affected.
"It seems you've been tricked too." Ling Xiao flicked his finger, sending out three golden holy runes that landed on Yun Susha's brow, temporarily suppressing the curse. "Tell me who's behind this, and I'll break the curse for you."
Upon seeing this, Yun Mubai hurriedly stepped forward, his voice filled with urgency: "Yun Susha, who exactly cast the curse?"
"Yes..." Yun Susha was about to utter the name when black blood suddenly gushed from her seven orifices, her face instantly turning deathly pale. A chilling laugh, filled with piercing malice, echoed from the distant clouds:
"Ling Xiao, you're quite good at investigating, but unfortunately, you'll forever be trapped in this unknown fear!"
A wave of sound, carrying terrifying demonic energy, swept in, causing the clouds to churn and the vegetation below to wither instantly, even turning the rocks black. Ling Xiao swung his sword to shatter the demonic barrier, but when he turned around, he found that Yun Susha's soul was rapidly dissipating, even the holy runes he had set up could not stop it.
"Preserve her soul!" Ling Xiao pushed Yun Susha to Yun Mubai, then transformed into a shooting star and chased after the direction from which the laughter came.
The vast sea of clouds was cleaved in two by his sword rainbow, and three blurry figures could be vaguely seen entering the void rift, trying to escape.
"Since you're here, stay!"
With a low shout, Ling Xiao activated the Seven Deadly Killing Formation. Seven ancient divine weapons emerged from the void, guarding the eight directions respectively, locking the entire airspace into a huge cage that even light could not penetrate.
……
At the top of the sea of clouds, Yun Susha leaned against Yun Mubai's chest, her pupils gradually dilating.
She had never imagined her life would end this way. The Soul-Burning Curse within her not only destroyed her physical body but also burned her soul like a wildfire, every inch of her soul power dissipating in excruciating pain. Feeling her life force slowly draining away, a desolate smile appeared on her lips. So this was what it felt like to have one's soul scattered.
The past years flowed by in a flash: chasing butterflies in the courtyard of the Divine Light Clan as a child, taking charge of clan affairs for the first time as an adult, and this time... trying to kidnap a little fox for the benefit of the clan, only to become someone else's pawn.
The last spark in her eyes went out, and her body slumped softly into Yun Mubai's arms, completely lifeless.
"Ling Xiao, you killed her!"
Yun Mubai's roar shattered the clouds that stretched for miles, and the pressure of his peak Star River Realm power transformed into a tangible golden wave, carrying rubble and soaring into the sky. The instant he leaped up, the entire sky seemed to be grasped in his palm, twisted into a folded brocade.
The moment the sword energy cleaved through the golden waves, a blinding white light exploded, accompanied by a shockwave! Ling Xiao was sent flying a hundred feet backward, his back shattering half a cloud pillar before he regained his footing; Yun Mubai, however, only took three steps back, his feet leaving three cracks in the void. Yet, the Martial Pavilion Master of the Divine Light Clan showed no joy on his face, his eyes fixed on Ling Xiao, his voice filled with disbelief: "You've actually broken through again!"
In just a month, this kid had already managed to withstand his full-force attack. Yun Mubai felt a chill run down his spine, but his killing intent burned even more fiercely. The Divine Light Clan and Ling Xiao were already locked in a life-or-death struggle. Unless Ling Xiao knelt down and confessed his sins to the entire clan, there would be no room for reconciliation.
But how can the dignity of a family with a history of ten thousand years be trampled on like this?
"Today I will show you the true power of the Divine Light Clan!" Yun Mubai clasped his hands together, and nine illusory golden dragons suddenly appeared around him. The dragon roars shook the space, causing it to crumble inch by inch; the distant mountains, before they could even utter a sound, were reduced to dust. (End of Chapter)
