Chapter 14507 The Murderer, the Overlord Emperor

The white-robed man in the center slowly raised his withered fingers, the fingertips gleaming with a faint golden light. His tone was calm yet carried an irresistible pressure: "Please make your move."

The moment the two words were uttered, the invisible pressure that solidified in the air caused the entire thunder barrier to tremble violently, and even the scalding magma in the lava river paused for a moment.

Ling Xiao nodded, and the stone slab beneath his feet suddenly cracked with a "crack." He shot out like an arrow, the Bloodthirsty Blade drawing its sheath with a resounding thud, its blade blazing with golden flames. A stunning blade light, piercing the long night, suddenly slashed out.
"Bloodthirsty Slash!"

Faced with such a formidable foe, he unleashed his ultimate technique! Wherever the blade flashed, space twisted into a vortex, and the sharp whistling sound of the air being torn apart was extremely piercing.

For the first time, the white-robed man showed a solemn expression. He moved his palms rapidly in front of his chest, and a dazzling white light suddenly took shape. Thirty-six layers of light wheels appeared behind him, layer upon layer, blocking his way!

Boom!

The moment the golden flame blade collided with the light wheel, a terrifying shockwave shook the entire hall, causing the golden dragon carvings on the dragon pillars to crumble. Taking advantage of the impact, Ling Xiao was sent flying backward, his figure transforming into a black shadow in mid-air before instantly merging into the void.

When the white-robed man shattered the remaining sword energy and looked up, the arena was already empty!
"He vanished?" The white-robed man closed his eyes and concentrated, his divine sense spreading out like a tide, covering a hundred miles of mountains and rivers. But Ling Xiao seemed to have evaporated into thin air, leaving not even a trace of his presence.

He opened his palm, and two deep, bone-revealing bloodstains were dripping with golden blood. These were wounds inflicted by Lingxiao's sword intent, and even with his cultivation level, they would be difficult to heal instantly.

"What a domineering sword intent." The white-robed man stared at the empty hall, his eyes filled with horror. "If it were to improve by another three points, even we might not be able to withstand it."

The other two men in white robes exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.

This Lingxiao must not be allowed to live! We must eliminate this threat completely!
The three searched the Su clan's territory for three days and three nights, turning over every corner, but they still couldn't find any trace of Ling Xiao. In the end, they had no choice but to leave unwillingly.

After seeing off the people from the Holy Temple, Su Zang's face was so gloomy it could drip water. This time, he had helped the Holy Temple set up a trap, but not only had he not gained any benefit, he had also lost the most talented junior of his clan. He couldn't have been more frustrated.

"Clan leader, we should probably take cover for now!" An elder beside him said, his face filled with panic and his voice trembling. "That Ling Xiao is vengeful and his infamy has spread throughout the Star Sea. He might come back for revenge!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Su Zang glanced at him disdainfully, his tone extremely arrogant. "Let's not even talk about whether he dares to come back. Even if he has the guts, with my strength, do you think I can't kill a mere brat? Although I am not as good as the Holy Envoy of the Holy Temple, dealing with him is a piece of cake!"

"Really?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind. Before Su Zang could react, his throat was pierced by a bloodthirsty blade that appeared out of nowhere!

The blade was scorching hot, instantly burning his meridians. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Ling Xiao, who was slowly emerging from the void. Black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"Before I die, I'll tell you something." Ling Xiao leaned close to his ear, his voice as cold as a poisoned icicle, "The destruction of your Su clan was entirely due to your greed. Today, I will kill you all as a warning to others!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted his wrist sharply, and the Bloodthirsty Blade burst forth with dazzling golden flames. Su Zang couldn't even let out a scream; his body and soul were completely shredded and turned into ashes.

Perhaps he didn't truly feel regret until he died.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Ling Xiao sheathed his sword, turned around, and vanished from the spot in an instant. In the next three breaths, screams rose and fell inside and outside the blood spring, and golden flames flashed like lightning, leaving corpses piled up beneath the seventy-two dragon-coiled pillars.

The stone steps in front of the hall were submerged in blood, forming a dark red river that flowed along the passage to the cave entrance. This was the consequence of daring to frame Ling Xiao!

……

Meanwhile, on a solitary peak millions of miles away from the ancestral home of the Su family, three people in white robes stood side by side.

“The Holy Lord has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to approach Lin Yuan City without authorization.” One of them frowned, his tone hesitant. “If we disobey, I’m afraid something bad will happen.”

"So that kid just got away like that?" The other man's face was grim, the wound on his palm still throbbing. "This kid has immense potential. If we don't eliminate him today, he'll become a major threat in the future!"

"You can run away from the monk but not the temple." The white-robed leader gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment. "There are powerful people protecting Lin Yuan City. That mysterious old man is most likely from the Sword Sect. And that mysterious Moon Maiden, both of them are not easy to deal with. We have to be careful."

"Very well, let's go back and report then." The third man in white robes sighed heavily, his tone full of resentment and apprehension. "That woman is not someone the three of us can handle."

They went to great lengths to subdue the Su clan and set up a trap to capture Ling Xiao, but in the end, not only did they lose the treasure, but their target also vanished into thin air.

That kid is as cunning as an eel!

Even though they were seething with hatred, the three of them dared not set foot in Lin Yuan City. There was a powerful force there that they could not afford to offend, and the Holy Lord's strict orders were like thorns in their backs.

Three beams of white light shot into the sky and instantly disappeared into the sea of clouds atop the mountain.

However, on their escape route, a figure in red suddenly appeared like a blazing fire. The woman was about twenty years old, her skirt fluttering, surrounded by a faint red glow. Her beauty was breathtakingly alluring, yet the terrifying pressure emanating from her made the three thousand-year-old elders freeze in fear, their souls trembling!

"Greetings, Lady Red Lady!"

The three of them bowed and kowtowed almost reflexively, their foreheads touching the ground, not daring to even breathe.

The woman in red lightly raised her jade-like hand, her tone languid yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Where are you all headed?"

The three men in white robes dared not conceal anything and quickly recounted the whole story of how the Su family had set up the scheme, how Ling Xiao had escaped, and how the black box had disappeared.

Upon hearing this, the woman in red curled her red lips into a mocking smile, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "What a bunch of idiots!" A wisp of red light condensed at her fingertips, pointing towards the direction of the Su clan's ancestral land. "That brat has probably already returned to the Su clan by now. Are you still heading back? Immediately turn back with me!"

The four of them transformed into four streaks of light and shot towards the ancestral land of the Su family once again.

But when they arrived at their destination, the sight before them made the three men in white robes shrink in shock. The once heavily guarded ancestral home of the Su family had now become a living hell!
Bloodstains stained the broken walls and ruins, corpses piled high like mountains, and the air was thick with the stench of blood; even the wind carried a chilling cold. On the Su family's heavy white jade plaque, weighing ten thousand pounds, seven large, vivid characters were written in blood:
"The killer is the Overlord Emperor Ling Xiao!"
