Chapter 14508 Red Woman
The ink was still wet, and the scarlet characters gleamed eerily in the sunlight, exuding an air of domineering arrogance.

"This guy... he's so domineering!" A man in white robes gasped, his voice trembling.

"It's not just domineering, it's terrifying!" Another person stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, his face full of horror. "Although the Su clan is not a top-tier power, it still has a Golden Core Realm expert in charge. How could he have slaughtered the entire clan in such a short time, leaving not a single survivor!"

The woman in red's gaze fell on the blood-red words, her eyes growing even colder: "To allow someone like this to grow up is the true nightmare of my Holy Temple!" She turned to the three men in white robes, her tone resolute, "He will definitely return to Lin Yuan City. Set off immediately and intercept him on the way!"

"But Lady Red Maiden!" A man in white robes hurriedly looked up, his face full of anxiety. "The strength of the Moon Maiden behind him is unknown. The Holy Lord has long issued a strict order not to easily attack Ling Xiao! Killing this kid might not be difficult, but once we provoke that Moon Maiden, the entire Holy Hall will probably be implicated!"

Upon hearing this, the woman in red suddenly chuckled, a hint of arrogance flashing across her alluring face: "I'd like to see just what abilities that Moon Maiden possesses that could frighten you all to this extent."

Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a red rainbow, speeding towards Lin Yuan City, leaving only a clear, cold voice echoing in the wind: "You will arrive shortly."

At this time, Ling Xiao had already left the ancestral land of the Su family.

He frowned, feeling frustrated. After working hard for so long, he not only failed to get the black box he longed for, but also learned from the soul-searching memories of the Su clan that the treasure had been taken away by three white-robed men after he fled!

This is truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

With his current strength, let alone fighting the entire Holy Temple, even facing the core combat force of the Annihilation Holy Temple would be like throwing an egg against a rock. The Black Box is now in the hands of the Holy Temple, and retrieving it would be an impossible task.

Left with no other choice, Ling Xiao could only suppress his resentment and turn around to speed towards Lin Yuan City. His biggest concern after this direct confrontation with the Holy Temple was the safety of the city. While the Golden Flame was powerful, it might not be able to withstand the Holy Temple's top-tier combat strength.

Unbeknownst to him, a figure in red was following his scent, relentlessly closing in on Lin Yuan City.

The Red Maiden's purpose in this journey is to meet the Moon Maiden.

The only way to convince the Holy Lord of Annihilation to unleash his full power is to witness firsthand the true strength of that mysterious woman.

Only through direct confrontation can one truly gauge the depth of the Moon Maiden's abilities.

Ling Xiao isn't scary; what's scary is the Moon Maiden hiding behind him.

The reason why the Holy Temple had previously held back and even instigated forces such as the Demon Heaven Sect and the Divine Light Clan to besiege Ling Xiao was to force the Moon Maiden to show herself and test her trump cards.

Unfortunately, the Moon Maiden remained hidden behind the scenes, never revealing a trace of herself.

Instead, it allowed forces such as the Demon Heaven Sect and the Divine Light Clan to see the true nature of the Holy Hall, ultimately turning against them and becoming Ling Xiao's allies.

The situation is now quietly tilting.

"As long as we figure out the Moon Maiden's strength... this game can still be played." The Red Maiden walked through the air, her red robes leaving a long afterimage in the night sky, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Everyone is wary, so I will be the one to scout ahead!"

Inside the Realm Lord's Mansion, the Realm Lord of Silent Annihilation leaned back on a soft couch, her slender fingers picking up a dark purple grape, her fingertips tracing the white frost on the skin before slowly putting it into her mouth. An ancient book lay open before her, but her gaze wasn't on the pages; instead, it held a nonchalant smile.

Just then, a respectful voice from an old man in gray robes came from outside the hall: "My lord, Ling Xiao has gone to the Su clan, seemingly in search of some treasure."

"Oh? It worked?" The grape on the fingertip of the Lord of Annihilation paused slightly, his tone calm and indifferent. "Come in and talk."

The gray-robed elder bowed as he entered the main hall, presenting a jade slip with both hands: "Whether it will succeed or not is still unknown. All we know is that the Su clan has been slaughtered... It seems that we also encountered three powerful figures from the Holy Temple along the way."

"He's injured?" The Lord of the Silent Realm raised his eyes, a barely perceptible hint of inquiry flashing in them.

"Unharmed." The gray-robed elder bowed his head and said, "The annihilation of the entire Su clan was the work of Ling Xiao. His combat strength and ruthlessness are truly terrifying. However, after this incident, the Holy Hall will probably be even more eager to eliminate him. After all, an enemy who can escape unscathed from being surrounded by three Star River Realm experts and then turn around and slaughter an entire clan is a great threat."

The Lord of the Silent Realm chuckled softly, flicking grape seeds gently into the jade plate with a crisp sound: "Finally, it's time to show your fangs."

"My lord, the Holy Temple's foundation is unfathomable. Is it wise for us to bet on Lingxiao like this..." The gray-robed elder hesitated, a hint of worry on his face.

"Are you saying we made the wrong bet?" The Lord of the Silent Realm looked up at him, his smile turning cold. "Do you know why Ling Xiao has been able to turn the tide in desperate situations time and time again?"

The old man in the gray robe was stunned, then shook his head.

“Because the Holy Temple is always wary,” the Lord of the Silent Realm said slowly, tapping his fingertips on the low table beside the bed. “The larger the beast, the more afraid it is of stepping into an unknown trap. The Holy Temple is wary of the Moon Maiden, just as it is wary of a hunter in the dark. They don’t know when the other party will make a move or how strong they are, so they dare not go all out to kill Ling Xiao.”

She paused, a calculating smile playing on her lips: "Remember, when the wolves dare not easily tear into you, it only means they have smelled the scent of a true dragon. What we need to do is sit back and watch the tigers fight."

"Understood!" The gray-robed elder suddenly understood and bowed in response. "I will immediately continue to arrange manpower to keep a close eye on the movements of the Holy Temple and Lingxiao."

The Lord of the Silent Realm suddenly chuckled, his gaze fixed on the starry sky outside the hall, his eyes deep and profound: "The Holy Hall, the Sword Sect, Lingxiao... Heh, the fiercer they fight, the safer our Realm Lord's Mansion will be, and the easier it will be for me to realize my lifelong ideal!"

Before the gates of the Demon Heaven Sect, a sea of ​​clouds churned.

Weiwei, dressed in a green robe, and Momo, in a pink dress, led a group of powerful figures from the Overlord Empire as they arrived on clouds. Unexpectedly, there was no resistance at the mountain gate. The disciples guarding the mountain had complicated expressions and silently lined up on both sides, clearing the passage to the heart of the sect.

This ancient demonic sword sect, with its thousand-year history, is experiencing an unprecedented upheaval.

A few days ago, the sect's founder, who had been sealed for hundreds of years, suddenly broke free. The first thing he did was to depose the current sect leader and even kill him when he resisted.

This unexpected turn of events left the entire Demon Heaven Sect completely baffled, yet no one dared to utter a single complaint.

Because everyone knows that the root of all this lies with that young man named Ling Xiao.

The patriarch's seal was broken, the sect leader was beheaded, the sect changed hands... all the turning points were closely related to him.

Therefore, when Weiwei and Momo arrived with their people to take over the Demon Heaven Sect, everything went smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
