Chapter 14296 The Two Missing Women
Ji Mingkong's pale face quickly regained some color, like a withered flower blooming again.
Her faint breathing became steady and strong, as if she had been injected with new vitality.
A deep sense of surprise flashed in Ji Mingkong's eyes. She hadn't expected the quality and effects of this pill to far exceed her expectations.
She originally thought that in this cruel battlefield, it would be good enough to have an ordinary healing pill, but she never expected that Ling Xiao would be able to take out such a precious pill.
She looked up at Ling Xiao, her eyes filled with gratitude and confusion.
Ling Xiao remained calm, and as he watched Ji Mingkong's complexion gradually recover, he felt a sense of relief.
He was a top-notch pharmacist with extremely high expertise in refining elixirs.
This elixir was meticulously crafted over a long period of time, using countless precious medicinal herbs and painstaking effort, so its effects are naturally extraordinary.
He smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, just focus on recovering. I'm here, everything will be alright."
The voice was gentle yet firm, as if it could bring Ji Mingkong an endless sense of security.
At this moment, Qin Xianglan, Liu Heng, and several others hurried through the bustling crowd.
Their figures moved constantly through the crowd, each step carrying a sense of urgency and worry, as if there was something extremely important that needed to be addressed.
Soon, they walked quickly to Ling Xiao's side.
Qin Xianglan was the first to stop. Her figure was elegant, and her long sleeves swayed gently in the breeze, like a flower swaying in the wind.
However, at this moment, her originally calm face showed a barely perceptible tremor and anxiety, and her eyes were full of concern and urgency.
She bowed slightly to Ling Xiao, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Aren't Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu with you?"
She bowed slightly to Ling Xiao, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Where are the two of them?"
The worry in that voice was like a tidal wave, almost overflowing.
Behind her, Liu Heng and the others also looked solemn, their brows furrowed as if weighed down by a heavy stone.
Their gazes all fell on Ling Xiao, filled with anticipation and doubt, as if Ling Xiao were the key to unlocking the mystery in their hearts.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken due to the heavy atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.
After all, we were comrades-in-arms who had gone through thick and thin together, fighting side by side in countless battles and forging a deep bond.
Now that Ling Xiao has returned alone, while Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu are nowhere to be seen, they are naturally filled with confusion and worry.
They couldn't help but wonder if some accident had happened that had put Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu in danger.
At this moment, the warriors from the Overlord Empire and other allied forces gathered around also turned their gazes toward Ling Xiao.
In their eyes, besides the familiarity they had with Ling Xiao, there was now an added layer of heartfelt reverence.
This awe did not come from nowhere, but stemmed from the earth-shattering battle that had taken place not long ago.
During that great battle, they witnessed Ling Xiao's bravery and formidable strength.
Ling Xiao, like a dazzling shooting star, streaked across the dark night sky, single-handedly killing the young master of the Tianyuan Holy Hall.
That dazzling light once illuminated the entire world, causing the whole battlefield to tremble.
Its power is still deeply imprinted in everyone's soul, making them feel awe whenever they think of it.
Ling Xiao glanced around, his deep gaze seemingly containing an endless sea of stars, as if it could pierce through the void and see through everything in the world.
He closed his eyes slightly, and his divine sense, like an invisible tide, quietly swept across every inch of the starry sky within a radius of thousands of miles.
His divine sense was like a keen detector, not missing any tiny corner, carefully perceiving everything around him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch even a trace of that familiar yet chilly aura.
That aura was unique to Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu. He had sensed it countless times, but now it had vanished without a trace.
His brows furrowed slightly without his notice, like two small mountains pressing down on his face.
His voice was low and steady, as if he was trying to suppress his worry and anxiety: "They left before me, why haven't they come back yet?"
There was a hint of doubt and unease in his voice, as if a stone was hanging over his heart, making it impossible for him to let go.
Ji Mingkong's already tense expression suddenly changed, as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake, causing waves to surge.
Her fingertips unconsciously gripped her sleeve tightly, as if that sleeve was her only support at that moment.
Her knuckles were slightly white from the force she exerted, a whiteness that was somewhat eerie, as if telling of her extreme tension and worry.
"how come?"
She cried out, her voice even more urgent than before, the slight trembling no longer concealed, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind, revealing the great unease in her heart.
Her eyes were filled with fear and confusion as she scanned her surroundings, seemingly trying to find Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu in the endless void, or perhaps a clue that would keep them safe.
Ling Xiao gazed at the distant sky, his eyes deep and far-reaching, as if trying to pierce through layers of dazzling yet lifeless nebulae.
The nebula was like a giant curtain, obscuring his vision, but it couldn't hide the worry in his heart.
His profile, illuminated by the distant starlight, appeared sharply defined, resolute, and austere, as if carved with a knife.
The starlight shone on his face, adding to his air of mystery.
He remained silent for a moment, a silence like the calm before a storm, making the surrounding atmosphere even more oppressive.
His robes fluttered in the starlight, which seemed to come from nowhere, making a "whooshing" sound, as if he were conversing with the endless void.
An invisible yet incomparably sharp demonic intent flowed around him, like a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, ready to strike at any moment.
It emitted a barely audible hum, as if warning of impending danger.
"Something's wrong, I'll go check it out."
Ling Xiao finally broke the silence. His voice was deep and firm, like a resounding bell, echoing in everyone's hearts.
Before he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated for a moment.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, as if he were prepared to face any danger.
With a slight movement, it instantly transformed into a majestic black mist.
The black mist resembled a winding dragon, or a blade cleaving through chaos, carrying boundless majesty and power as it tore through the endless dark sky before them.
Its speed was so fast that its figure blurred in an instant, leaving only a faint afterimage, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, completely disappearing into the distant horizon.
