Chapter 14479 Sword Demon Awakens
Lan Jingjing spun around, transforming into a streak of golden light that vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye. A silvery laugh lingered in the wind: "Finally, I can play freely..."
Before the laughter had even subsided, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the distance, instantly turning the entire sky into chaos, swallowing even the light.
The Demon Blade strolled to Ling Xiao's side, gazing at the chaotic sky and sighing softly, "I knew this girl would cause some trouble sooner or later."
trouble?
Ling Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, shaking his head with a wry smile. This girl was clearly not one to stay still; who knows what kind of chaos she'd cause once she went to the Realm of Annihilation.
His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the corner of his sleeve. The key question was, what was this girl's background?
When her gaze turned to Jin Yan, she saw him shaking his head repeatedly: "When she first met me, she said that my aptitude suited her and that I was from the Golden Crow lineage, so she took me as her junior brother without any explanation. I don't know anything about her background, I only know that she is extremely strong and her teaching methods are amazing, otherwise how could I have advanced to the Star River Realm so quickly?"
Ling Xiao was feeling helpless when suddenly his eyes lit up: "I need to find some materials and refine a few more batches of suitable pills..."
The people around him were stunned and couldn't say anything, just staring at him in a daze.
"Come on, Jin Yan!" Ling Xiao suddenly turned to his old friend, laughing and patting him on the shoulder. "Come back with me for a drink, let's drink until we're completely drunk!"
He knew in his heart that Jin Yan would probably leave with Lan Jingjing soon, and he didn't know when they would meet again. The fact that they could have a good get-together now was a rare blessing.
Once the group had gone far away, the Demon Heaven Sect, which had long since become ruins, finally returned to silence.
From the shadows, Yun Susha gazed in the direction where the group had disappeared, her fingertips fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. She parted her lips slightly and asked, "Sect Master, do you recognize that young girl from just now?"
Yun Mubai, standing beside him, slowly shook his head, his voice as deep as stone: "Never heard of such a thing."
Yun Susha unconsciously twisted her sleeves, muttering, "Just how many powerful figures are standing behind Ling Xiao?"
Yun Mubai didn't reply, but his eyes were filled with shock. Just now, that little girl with twin buns had annihilated Yun Potian, a peak Star River Realm cultivator, with a single punch. Yun Potian was a prodigy of his generation, a demonic cult giant who was ranked higher than him on the Star River Ranking back then. Now, Yun Potian had not only broken through to the peak realm, but his demonic cultivation had also reached its pinnacle, leaving Yun Mubai with no chance to fight back!
First there was the woman in the moon-colored dress, and now a mysterious little girl has appeared. Add to that the Black Emperor Sect's patriarch who helped earlier... There are at least three peerless experts standing behind Ling Xiao!
What's even more frightening is that no one can say for sure whether this is all the cards he has up his sleeve.
Yun Mubai remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "You should go and lay low for a while."
Yun Susha frowned and looked over, then heard him continue, "This boy is vindictive and will never let things go. If things really get out of hand, the entire Divine Light Clan might be implicated."
“His revenge may not necessarily be directed at us first.” Yun Susha’s eyes flashed. “He hates the person who orchestrated this behind the scenes even more than the Divine Light Clan.”
"Manipulating things in secret?" A murderous glint suddenly flashed in Yun Mubai's eyes. "Who exactly is setting this up? It's one thing to use us as pawns, but even the Demon Heaven Sect has become a discarded piece on the chessboard!"
“I’ve already asked the intelligence agency to investigate, and I expect to hear back soon.” Yun Susha’s face darkened. “I also want to know who is stirring up this mess.”
……
News of Ling Xiao's rampage at the Demon Heaven Sect spread like wildfire, quickly engulfing the entire Silent Realm within days.
Nowadays, almost everyone knows the name "Ling Xiao." What everyone talks about most is his seemingly endless stream of powerful backers. Major forces are all secretly speculating about the background of this young man and why he can always get those reclusive powerhouses to help him.
Not to mention outsiders, even those within Tianyuan themselves were completely baffled. Even Shangguan Yue and others familiar with Ling Xiao couldn't understand why the Black Emperor Sect's patriarch treated him differently. But none of that mattered now. The Divine Light Clan was severely weakened, the Demon Heaven Sect's patriarch had perished, and the Black Emperor Sect had a new master… The current situation was far beyond anyone's easy control.
In Lin Yuan City, inside Ling Xiao's magic needle space.
Ling Xiao, who had just finished drinking and catching up with Jin Yan, was quietly guarding the stone bed, watching the little fox's cheeks gradually turn rosy. Pure spiritual energy enveloped her like fine gauze, rising and falling gently with her breath.
About an hour later, the little fox's eyelashes trembled, and it slowly opened its eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the corners of her lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Ling Xiao laughed along, but as he laughed, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and warm liquid slid down his cheeks.
The little fox and Tongtong were both children he had picked up from the streets. They weren't related by blood, but they were closer than sisters. Tongtong had already left to help him; if something were to happen to the little fox, he would truly collapse, and even his Dao heart would crumble.
He couldn't be heartless, much less forget his feelings.
The Blade Demon and the Sword Spirit stood in the corner, barely daring to breathe. This was the first time they had ever seen Ling Xiao shed tears. The usually ruthless and decisive young man was now as vulnerable as a lost child.
"Big brother, don't cry..." The little fox's voice was still hoarse from just waking up, soft and gentle, "It's all because the little fox is useless, always dragging big brother down..."
Ling Xiao gently rubbed the top of her head, his voice so soft it could melt water: "Silly girl, it's my fault for not protecting you properly."
"If it weren't for me..."
“It’s the same without you.” Ling Xiao interrupted her, his eyes as bright as a rock. “Those bad people will still target others. Don’t blame yourself. There are some people in this world who are worse than animals.”
The little fox looked at his red eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently. Ling Xiao carefully wiped away her tears and said softly, "Don't worry, rest well. Your sister entrusted you to me back then, and I promised her I would protect you. I don't bully others, but if anyone dares to hurt you in the slightest, I will make them pay a hundredfold. Take good care of yourself, I have some things to take care of."
As he stood up, the tenderness in his eyes vanished instantly, and he reverted to being the ruthless and decisive Overlord Emperor.
Inside the magic needle space, the little fox watched his departing figure, her fingertips secretly clenching her sleeves.
The sword spirit walked over and said softly, "From now on, the enemies he will face will only become stronger."
"I know." The little fox looked up, its eyes filled with determination. "I can become even stronger, can't I?"
“Of course.” The sword spirit smiled. “You have obtained the entire inheritance of the Demon Soul King, and you will surely become one of the most powerful beings on the White Ze Continent. It’s just a pity that some things in the inheritance are too obscure; neither the Blade Demon nor I can understand them. If our master were still here…”
Before he could finish speaking, a woman's voice suddenly drifted from inside the Twin Fiends Sect, languid yet exuding a nonchalant elegance: "Let that little fox come here."
"Owner!"
The sword spirit suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise and joy, his voice trembling slightly.
It is her master, Jian Sha! One of the two sect leaders of the Shuang Sha Sect, the most outstanding sword cultivator in the past, has finally awakened!
