Chapter 14325 A brief reunion
Ling Xiao had so much to say to Yue Nu: his longing for her these past few days, his confusion about cultivation, and his hopes for the future.
He reached out, wanting to touch the flowing hem of the Moon Maiden's skirt, as if that would shorten the distance between them.
However, his fingertips only brushed past a gradually dissipating stream of light, and the Moon Maiden's figure gradually vanished before his eyes like a dream bubble.
Ling Xiao stood there blankly, staring in the direction where the Moon Maiden had disappeared, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
She gently shook her head, her movements as light as a feather falling. Her exquisite figure became even more ethereal, like wisps of smoke or a hazy mist, as if she were about to merge into the vast stars and become an insignificant yet eternal part of the universe.
"I also have much to say... but time has run out."
This is not my true form, but merely a projection... We will meet again soon.
Her voice was ethereal and otherworldly, as if it came from the distant horizon, carrying an indescribable sense of melancholy and longing.
Each word fell like a pearl into Lingxiao's heart lake, creating ripples.
As she finished speaking, her figure became increasingly transparent, as if she were being gradually drawn away by an invisible force.
The once clear outline gradually became blurred, like a thin mist blown away by the wind, slowly dissipating into the void.
Her clothes no longer fluttered, her hair no longer swayed; everything seemed to freeze at this moment, waiting only for its final dissipation.
Ling Xiao watched this scene unfold, his heart filled with anxiety, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Where are you going?"
His voice trembled slightly, filled with anxiety and reluctance.
He so wished that the Moon Maiden could stop her fading steps, even if only for a little longer, so that he could look at her one more time and say one more word to her.
The Moon Maiden said calmly:
"There's a bit of a problem to deal with..."
Her tone was calm and indifferent, as if the so-called trouble was nothing more than a trivial matter.
However, Ling Xiao knew that any trouble that Yue Nu had to handle personally was certainly no ordinary matter.
But before he could ask anything more, she vanished completely, leaving only an empty void, as if she had never existed.
Ling Xiao stood frozen in place, completely motionless as if under a spell.
He felt empty inside, as if his soul had been suddenly ripped out, leaving only an empty shell.
He stared in the direction she had disappeared, his eyes filled with confusion and disappointment, remaining silent for a long time.
That void seemed like a bottomless abyss, swallowing all his thoughts and emotions.
There was a deathly silence all around, so quiet that not even a whisper of wind could be heard.
The nebula seemed to have frozen, no longer flowing or twinkling, like a huge black ribbon enveloping the entire world.
Time seemed to stand still, as if this moment had become eternal, and everything was frozen in this endless silence.
In the distance, the shattered remains of mountains floated silently, varying in size and shape, some resembling sharp sword blades, others like twisted behemoths.
The wreckage shimmered with a faint light, as if silently recounting the earth-shattering battle that had just taken place.
What a brutal and shocking battle it was! Stars shattered, mountains collapsed, and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down.
"Moon Maiden!"
Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, his voice echoing in the silent void for a long time.
His shouts were filled with longing and concern for the Moon Maiden, as if he wanted to convey his heartfelt words to that unknown distance.
All the powerful figures present were shaken to their core, and their faces showed undisguised horror.
They both looked at each other with disbelief, as if they had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.
They never imagined that this Moon Maiden was so powerful—with a single sword strike, she annihilated Yuwen Qingtian across the endless void!
Who was Yuwen Qingtian? He was incredibly powerful and renowned, virtually invincible in the world.
However, before the Moon Maiden's sword, he was as vulnerable as an ant.
What kind of supernatural power is that?
How powerful?
Everyone had their own guesses, but they couldn't find a suitable answer.
If she were to appear in person, what kind of power would she possess?
The crowd could hardly believe it; they felt a chill rise from their spines and rush to their heads.
The chill, like an icy tide, completely engulfed their bodies and souls.
Yet, strangely, this chill transformed into a glimmer of hope.
They secretly thought to themselves, if the Moon Maiden could stand on their side, then what difficulties in this world could not be overcome?
What enemy is there that cannot be defeated?
This glimmer of hope, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, illuminated their path forward, giving them a sense of anticipation and longing amidst their fear and awe.
Everyone present turned their gazes toward Ling Xiao, their eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, including shock, awe, fear, and sudden realization.
Previously, Ling Xiao's various behaviors were like a mystery shrouded in mist, leaving them completely baffled.
At this moment, they finally realized as if waking from a dream why this seemingly young boy could be so extraordinary, as if he possessed luck and strength beyond ordinary people, making great strides on the path of cultivation, attracting the attention of countless older generation experts.
And why is it that he possesses the Demonic Sect's most precious treasure, a treasure capable of stirring up bloodshed throughout the martial world, yet he has managed to live to this day unscathed, without being jointly killed by various forces?
It turns out that behind him stood such an unfathomable and powerful being—the Moon Maiden!
That was a terrifying figure who could annihilate Yuwen Qingtian with a single sword strike across endless void!
With such an unparalleled expert as his backer, Ling Xiao's various heaven-defying actions seem to have a reasonable explanation.
Joy, like wild grass growing rampant in spring, spread rapidly through the hearts of everyone in the Overlord Empire.
They were all somewhat apprehensive and uneasy about this potential conflict with the Temple of Annihilation.
After all, the Temple of Annihilation is renowned, powerful, and has a profound foundation, making it a force to be reckoned with.
However, the fact that Ling Xiao's backer is so powerful means that the Overlord Empire truly has the confidence to fight against the Temple of Annihilation!
This confidence, like a blazing fire, instantly boosted their previously somewhat low morale. Excitement and anticipation shone in everyone's eyes, as if they could already see the glorious future of defeating the Temple of Annihilation and dominating the region.
Ling Xiao suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharp as a sword as he looked at the thousand-strong battle group from the Temple of Annihilation in the distance.
The thousand-strong battle group was neatly lined up, exuding a fierce aura. They had come with the belief that they would win, but at this moment, the leader's face was ashen, as gloomy and terrifying as the sky before a storm.
