Chapter 14470 What a terrifying knife!

The primal power transferred from the large black dog was reshaping his meridians like a gentle spring rain, rejuvenating every inch of his flesh and blood. The black demonic mist swirling around him gradually solidified into a tangible substance, endlessly regenerating.

When he opened his eyes again, the majestic outline of the Divine Light Mountains was reflected deep in his pupils. It was the symbol of the Divine Light Clan and also his destination.

……

Inside the main hall of the Divine Light Clan, the atmosphere was as heavy as iron.

Yun Susha lightly stroked the teacup with her fingertips. Suddenly, the teacup shattered, and the scalding tea condensed into eerie patterns on the Xuanbing Jade Table, as if foreshadowing misfortune. The gray-robed elder beside her raised his hand and gently waved it. The spiritual lines on his palm flickered, and the twenty-three soul lamps went out simultaneously, like stars falling from the night sky.

"Twenty-three Great Sun Realm cultivators..." A metallic taste rose in Yun Susha's throat as she gritted her teeth, "That black dog dared to..."

Her meticulously planned killing scheme spiraled out of control. The Black Emperor Sect's patriarch, who was supposed to restrain the woman in the moon dress, unexpectedly became Ling Xiao's protector; the bloody battle between the sects, which should have resulted in mutual destruction, instead caused the Divine Light Clan to lose nearly 30% of its elite forces, suffering heavy losses.

"The Black Emperor Ancestor knows that kid." The compass in the gray-robed old man's sleeve spun wildly, its pointer trembling erratically. "Or rather, he knows the person behind him."

"After three months of investigation, we still can't figure out the background of that woman in the moon dress?" Yun Susha's nails dug deeply into her palms, the pain making her even more awake.

"This woman is too mysterious. Her fate seems to be blocked by something, making it difficult to fathom." The old man shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, the sound of a bell came from outside the hall. The Great Evolution Bell, which had been hanging for thousands of years, rang out on its own.

Yun Susha abruptly crushed the communication jade talisman, and the light screen displayed the scene of Ling Xiao taking charge of the Black Emperor Sect. She was filled with shock and anger: "He actually dared to accept the Black Emperor Sect's allegiance?"

"That's not all." The old man pointed to the violently trembling protective array, his voice trembling slightly, "That kid has already arrived."

At the edge of the sky, crimson blade light swept across the clouds like a tide, causing space to collapse wherever it passed, tearing a rift across the heavens that stretched for thousands of miles, like a crack in the sky itself.

……

As the roar of the blade echoed throughout the Divine Light Clan, the twelve mountain peaks simultaneously lit up with protective light shields, like twelve lighthouses illuminating the darkness. Ling Xiao shattered the last spatial barrier, his Bloodthirsty Blade emitting a dark light that devoured all light, as if it could devour all light itself.

"Those who trespass on the Divine Light Clan..." Before the golden-armored general could finish speaking, a red plum blossom bloomed on his throat, and blood gushed out like a spring. Before anyone could even see the blade, they only saw his armor shatter inch by inch, and his soul was completely devoured by the baleful aura before it dissipated, leaving not even a trace.

A terrifying killing intent has reappeared!
Several elders at the Great Sun Realm were locked onto by the sword intent as soon as they appeared. The Bloodthirsty Blade spewed out killing intent, shredding their bodies and turning them into dust.

The gray-robed elder teleported in front of Ling Xiao, and a nine-tiered exquisite pagoda flew out from his sleeve, its body radiating brilliant light: "Sect Master Black Emperor, have you come here to cause trouble?"

"Where is the little fox?" The drop of blood from Lingxiao's blade pierced through the void, his voice as cold as frost.

"Indeed, you are a guest of my Divine Light Clan." The old man chuckled, and the tower burst forth with a dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. "But do you really think you can crush this ancient clan with its thousand-year heritage?"

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations emanating from the Bloodthirsty Blade. When he opened his eyes again, a terrifying killing intent surged forth, as if a god or demon had descended: "Not long ago, were you also so certain that you could seize my treasure?"

The old man suddenly retreated, and the space where he had stood was cut into pieces by the Bloodthirsty Blade. The twelve mountain peaks trembled in unison, and the protective array groaned under the impact of the blade's light, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"A thousand-year-old legacy?" Ling Xiao shattered the ninth layer of restrictions, his bloodthirsty blade pointing directly at the core temple, his voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth, "Today, let's see whether your foundation is deeper or my blade is sharper!"

Emboldened!

The gray-robed elder's confidence stemmed from the profound heritage of the Nangong family accumulated over a thousand years. From ancient times to the present, the Divine Light Clan has survived three great calamities, and its family genealogy records seven terrifyingly powerful figures. In particular, the first patriarch's reputation was renowned far and wide.

The accumulated wisdom and strength over these long years is something even the current patriarch has not fully grasped. But everyone knows that in this Realm of Annihilation, even if the Divine Light Clan is not the sole ruler, no one dares to provoke them.

Even the Temple of Annihilation dared not easily provoke the Divine Light Clan, and they have always lived in peace.

Therefore, while they harbored some apprehension towards the Moon Maiden, they were far from being terrified. Otherwise, they wouldn't have viewed Ling Xiao as prey and attempted to seize his treasure. Moreover, they were not the only ones coveting the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword.
Ling Xiao stood silently in the void, the Bloodthirsty Blade resting on his shoulder, like a war god. Just as the gray-robed elder was about to speak, a breathtakingly beautiful cloud of blood suddenly bloomed before his eyes.

laugh!
The blade's edge had already pierced through the Dao Platform between his brows. The old man's wide pupils reflected the dissipating afterimage of Ling Xiao, his soul rapidly crumbling: "What a terrifying blade! What a terrifying person..."

It was a one-second kill!

When the experts of the Divine Light Clan arrived, they only saw the old man turn into dust and dissipate, leaving not a trace. Yun Changkong shattered space and arrived, the Reincarnation Pearl in his palm bursting with a dark light. His divine sense covered 30,000 miles like a net, and he could even clearly discern the flow of the earth's spiritual energy, but he could not find the slightest trace of Ling Xiao.

"What a strange fellow!" Yun Changkong suddenly looked towards the altar, his figure transforming into a streak of light and shooting away, his heart filled with unease.

……

Ling Xiao may not be as powerful as the Divine Light Clan, but he is proficient in Sacred Rune Arrays. If he wants to hide, no one can find him.

If he is willing to fight head-on, that is a blessing for the enemy.

If he intends to assassinate or launch a sneak attack, then whoever it is, can only pray for good fortune.

The Divine Light Clan refuses to hand over the person and even puts on airs for him, so he can only let them know what the consequences of playing tricks on him are.

……

The Divine Light Clan has declared a state of emergency. All twelve mountain peaks have activated their protective arrays, and the Sky-Patrolling Mirror continuously scans every corner, searching for Ling Xiao's whereabouts. Ling Xiao's previous display of ruthless methods has made this ancient clan feel a long-lost sense of crisis, as if a mountain is pressing down on their hearts.

Inside the ancestral hall, Yun Susha knelt before the statue of the first patriarch, her expression respectful and devout. The statue, holding a long sword, had piercing eyes, and the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and plants engraved on the sword were imbued with Daoist energy, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

This is a treasure bestowed upon the Divine Light Clan by their former benefactors. It is called the Divine Light Immortal-Stabilizing Sword and is the Divine Light Clan's greatest reliance and pride.

"The fault is not solely yours." The aged voice echoed in the hall, carrying endless vicissitudes and wisdom. "Who would have thought that the Black Emperor Ancestor would intervene in this matter, disrupting all our plans?"

Yun Susha dug her fingertips into her palms until blood soaked through her skirt; the pain only made her more lucid and resolute. As the Celestial Mirror swept across the palace for the seventh time, she suddenly looked up, her gaze piercing: "Since you're here, why not show yourself? Hiding and lurking—is that the behavior of a true man?" (End of Chapter)
