Chapter 14458 Take the initiative to attack
Besides these magical treasures, the Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord's storage ring also contained numerous rare and precious medicinal materials and elixirs. Especially the elixirs, which made Ling Xiao's eyes light up!
Many of them are elixirs that stabilize one's realm and enhance one's cultivation!

The warriors of the Overlord Empire possess considerable talent, but they lack cultivation resources. With these elixirs, they will surely be able to cultivate even more Great Sun Realm warriors!
Even those at the Star River Realm might not be able to reach that level!

In addition, there were over a million spirit crystals in the storage ring. These were not ordinary spirit stones, but spirit crystals of a higher quality! The spiritual energy contained within them was more than ten times purer than that of ordinary spirit crystals!
nice one!
Ling Xiao quickly put away the spirit crystals. Just one crystal was enough to replenish his depleted spiritual power in an instant.

What a surprise!

Ling Xiao laughed heartily, he had truly reaped a great harvest this time!
Most importantly, he also recruited the most elite disciples of the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall!
After speaking with the two, Dao Mo and Ling Xiao, for a while, Ling Xiao left the Demon Needle Space. There were still many things to be done.

Inside the main hall, Shangguan Yue and Lü Ning were handling various matters. Ji Mingkong could now free up some time to cultivate properly, otherwise he would fall far behind Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was a carefree emperor, and the two of them basically managed the internal affairs of the Batian Empire.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao enter, the two women stopped what they were doing.

Ling Xiao walked to the table and asked with a smile, "How are the preparations going?"

Shangguan Yue replied, "The troops have been prepared and can depart for Tianyuan Temple tomorrow."

At this point, she hesitated slightly: "If we leave, what will happen to the people of the Overlord Empire?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's not that we're abandoning them. Once we've established ourselves in the Tianyuan Holy Hall, those who wish to migrate can go there at any time."

Shangguan Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine too."

She looked at Ling Xiao, her voice filled with worry, and asked, "The future of this journey to the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary is uncertain. Have you made adequate preparations?"

Ling Xiao smiled calmly: "What preparations are needed? We don't provoke trouble, but if anyone challenges us, we'll fight to the bitter end."

Shangguan Yue smiled gently, "Okay."

Lü Ning looked at Ling Xiao, "Will that Senior Moon Maiden show herself again?"

A woman in a moon-colored skirt!

Ling Xiao remained silent.

He didn't know where the woman in the moon-colored dress was at the moment, but judging from the current situation, she probably wouldn't show herself easily.
Unless the people from Tianyuan Temple cause her trouble again
He really hoped that the people from the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary would go looking for her again!

Just then, Shangguan Yue suddenly said, "Those sects and aristocratic families that left before have returned."

Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, then understood what Shangguan Yue meant.

It was precisely before the Tianyuan Holy Hall's army pressed in that those sects and families who chose to betray the Batian Empire!

Ling Xiao's lips curled slightly: "What are they coming back for?"

Shangguan Yue's expression was solemn: "They say this place is their home."

Ling Xiao chuckled, "Take me to meet them."

Shangguan Yue looked at Ling Xiao, and the smile on his face sent a chill down her spine.

Shangguan Yue led Ling Xiao to the main hall, where the leaders of various sects and heads of aristocratic families who had left earlier were gathered.

These people were all those who voluntarily betrayed the Overlord Empire.

Upon seeing Ling Xiao, everyone looked somewhat uneasy.

Ling Xiao glanced at everyone and asked with a smile, "Why have you all returned again?"

At this moment, an elderly man in a green robe stepped forward from the crowd; he was the one who had been the first to suggest leaving.

Ling Xiao had a deep impression of this person, simply because he was the first to betray the Ba Tian Empire.

The old man bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, after careful consideration, we have decided to return."

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "This place is, after all, our homeland."

Having said that, he looked at Ling Xiao, "Moreover, the Batian Empire is currently in dire straits. After much consideration, we know we shouldn't leave at this time. Therefore, we've decided to return and help the Batian Empire overcome this crisis!"

"Ha ha!"

Ling Xiao suddenly burst into loud laughter, turned to Shangguan Yue, and said, "Everyone says I, Ling Xiao, have thick skin, but after meeting you today, I realize what it means to be outmatched."

The old man hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we are truly sincere."

Ling Xiao raised his hand to interrupt: "Old man, where were you all when the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall's army pressed in?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed drastically.

Ling Xiao's gaze grew cold: "Old man, I have no grudge against any of you. Why are you treating me like a three-year-old child?"

His voice suddenly turned cold: "Or do you all think I'm so easily fooled?"

The old men and the others all paled, and the leading old man hurriedly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please understand! We had absolutely no such intention!"

He hesitated for a moment, then said with difficulty, "We...we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have left when the Overlord Empire was in danger. We beg the Realm Lord to give us a chance to repent."

Ling Xiao stared at the old man: "If you don't share hardship, why invite me to your time of wealth?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's face turned ashen.

Ling Xiao turned and walked towards the palace gate, but stopped abruptly at the entrance: "Shangguan Yue, tell them to leave the Batian Empire immediately. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a traitor."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Upon receiving the order, Shangguan Yue looked at the old man and the others: "See them out."

More than twenty martial artists appeared silently behind the old man and his companions.

Upon seeing this display of force, the old man and the others' expressions immediately turned extremely grim.
Shangguan Yue ignored everyone and turned to leave.

As Ling Xiao said, if you don't share hardships, why invite others when you're rich?

Ling Xiao returned to the main hall.

In a quiet room.

Inside sat Meng Haoqing, Momo, Weiwei, Zhang Ruochen, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Soul, Qin Xianglan, and Crown Prince Liu Heng, among others.

Everyone looked at Ling Xiao, who flicked his sleeve, revealing several treasures to them.

At the very least, it's a treasure of the Great Sun Realm level!
Liu Heng asked in surprise, "Brother Ling, what's this?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Everyone, please choose one."

Liu Heng shook his head: "We can't accept it."

Ling Xiao asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Liu Heng said solemnly, "We want to rely on our own strength."

Ling Xiao said gently, "I understand your intentions. But this is just a small token of my appreciation. You know my character; I have no intention of belittling you. I only hope that you can all reach new heights."

Liu Heng smiled and said, "I know what you mean, but..."

At this moment, Qin Xianglan, who was standing to the side, picked up a Nascent Soul stage magic weapon, examined it carefully, and exclaimed, "It's truly a fine item!"

The Heavenly Soul Saintess also took a treasure, a moon-white silk ribbon, shimmering with light, which turned out to be a defensive magical artifact.

Seeing that both of them had accepted the gifts, Liu Heng coughed lightly, "Since Brother Ling is so kind as to refuse, then I shall accept them without further ado."

After saying that, he quickly took a treasure as well.

As for Meng Haoqing and the others, who were more familiar with Ling Xiao, they were even less polite and immediately began to make their own selections, acting as if they were all family.

Ling Xiao nodded with a smile and took out several more jade bottles: "These are elixirs I obtained from the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall. They can improve aptitude and boost cultivation."

He looked at the crowd: "Also, prepare yourselves, we're coming with me to the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary."

Liu Heng paused, then asked, "To the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary?"

Ling Xiao nodded.

Liu Heng hesitated and said, "The three of us still have shallow cultivation levels."

Ling Xiao said, "The world over there is much more vast."

Liu Heng was silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "With everyone's hard work, I believe that one day we can fight side by side again!"

Liu Heng smiled wryly: "You're moving too fast."

When they first arrived at the Great Town Dynasty, their cultivation levels were similar to Ling Xiao's, but now Ling Xiao has left them far behind.
