Chapter 14908 Don't Have Any Crooked Thoughts
“We can’t do a deal, but we can try another way.” Xiang Ying walked back to the stone table, sat down again, picked up a wine glass, and gently toyed with it between his fingertips, his tone confident.
"Six months from now, I can help the town mayor once, but I will not risk my life. I will only lend a helping hand and will not gamble away the entire fortune of the Silent Court for this matter, nor will I put myself in danger."
Ling Xiao turned around, looking directly into her eyes without flinching, and spoke directly.
What are the conditions?
“Three-layered domain stone.” Xiang Ying put down his wine glass, slowly extended three fingers, his tone crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"I know that with your skills as a high-level seven-star holy rune master, you can make a holy rune stone that can temporarily open three layers of domains."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned slightly.
The three-layer domain stone is a type of high-grade seven-star sacred rune stone. Although it is not as good as the heart-protecting sacred rune stone he previously refined for the Crimson Phoenix, it is still extremely difficult to refine and requires a great deal of effort and rare materials.
Most importantly, he didn't have the complete method for refining this sacred rune stone at all.
"I need the method to refine it." Ling Xiao did not hide anything and spoke the truth frankly and directly.
Xiang Ying seemed to have anticipated his request, showing no surprise whatsoever. He immediately took out a thin ancient book from his robes and casually tossed it toward Ling Xiao with swift and decisive movements.
Ling Xiao caught it steadily, then looked down and glanced at the book. The book contained the complete refining method for the three-layered domain stone, from the rune patterns and structural layout to the proportions and harmonization of the seven elements. It was complete, detailed, and without any omissions.
"This is for you," Xiang Ying said calmly, leaning back in his stone chair.
"Once you have successfully refined it, personally deliver the Sacred Rune Stone to the Silent Court."
"When the six-month period is up, I will personally travel to the underworld town to fulfill my promise."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Senior's choice is absolutely wise. That's settled then, I'll head back now!"
He stood up again, put away the ancient book he had taken from Xiang Ying, and then transformed into a cloud of black mist, disappearing into the sky.
Watching Ling Xiao leave, Xiang Ying did not see him off. She was still somewhat hesitant. Had she fallen into the trap of this kid by agreeing to Ling Xiao's request?
But Xiang Ying is always a woman of her word. If she agrees now and then goes back on her word, that's not like her.
"Forget it, there's no need to wallow in self-pity. Since what's done is done, let's just trust that kid. Maybe he'll really give me a big surprise!"
She smiled and stopped dwelling on the matter.
Just then, someone rushed over in a panic.
The visitor was Wu Guang, one of the divine messengers of the Silent Court.
Wu Guang was someone who witnessed Ling Xiao annihilate the Silent Court, and even caused the former court master to leave the Silent Court.
He had absolutely no goodwill towards Ling Xiao, and he simply couldn't accept that Xiang Ying was going to cooperate with Ling Xiao.
"Envoy Xiang Ying!" Wu Guangfeng rushed over and shouted, "You actually want to cooperate with Ling Xiao? Don't you care about the warriors of the Silent Court who were killed by Ling Xiao? He's here, shouldn't you take this opportunity to capture him and avenge them?"
"Stop making a fuss!" Xiang Ying suddenly looked at Wu Guang. "Do I need you to teach me what to do? If you're so capable, go and get Lingxiao yourself. Don't make a scene here!"
"But...but he has the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword on him! That's the key to unlocking the Demon Lord's treasure!" Although Wu Guang was afraid of Xiang Ying, he couldn't help but speak his mind. "If we take the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, we can unlock the Demon Lord's treasure on our own. At that time, our Silent Extinction Court will still be the most powerful force in the Chaotic Martial Realm."
"Really? I think he'll become the target of everyone's criticism!"
Xiang Ying sighed helplessly. She stood up and was actually a head taller than Wu Guang. She looked down at Wu Guang with such imposing manner that Wu Guang was quite frightened.
"Wu Guang, are you a pig-headed idiot?"
Wu Guang's face instantly turned bright red, then turned pale and then red again.
He held a prestigious position in the Silent Court and had countless disciples under his command. When had he ever been so publicly humiliated and treated with such ruthlessness?
But when faced with Xiang Ying, he didn't even have the courage to raise his head and refute her. His whole body was stiff, and he dared not make the slightest move.
"I'm asking you." Xiang Ying's voice turned completely cold, each word like a knife.
"What happens after we take down Ling Xiao?"
The treasure is opened, demonic energy soars to the sky, and spiritual energy leaks out. Shi Wenlong, Chishui Phoenix, the Lord of Chaotic Martial Realm, and the other seven powerful figures gather at the Silent Extinction Court. Can you stop them?
"Do you have the ability to stop this pack of wolves?"
Wu Guang opened his mouth, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word, and the color drained from his face instantly.
"You think those seven people are all vegetarians?"
"Are they all easy to mess with?" Xiang Ying's voice grew colder and colder, and the oppressive aura emanating from him intensified.
"Shi Wenlong is ruthless, Chishui Phoenix is incredibly powerful, the town mayor is biased and protective, and the Lord of Chaotic Martial Realm is ambitious..."
Which one is the easiest to deal with?
Which one is easy to deal with?
"If the Silent Court dares to monopolize the treasure, it will be courting death and digging its own grave!"
Wu Guang's face turned from red to white, then from white to green. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"And another thing." Xiang Ying's gaze was like a sharp blade, fixed on Wu Guang, each word piercing his heart.
"The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword has long recognized Ling Xiao as its master, and they are connected by blood and soul."
If Ling Xiao is killed, the Black Sky Sword will immediately backfire and go berserk.
Do you think the town mayor would sit idly by and watch Ling Xiao die?
Do you think the Golden Dragon Emperor would just stand by and watch the Black Sky Sword change hands without intervening?
Wu Guang's body trembled slightly, his legs went weak, and his lips quivered as he tried to explain, but he couldn't utter a single word. All the resentment and anger in his heart were suppressed by fear.
Xiang Ying took a deep breath, his chill subsided slightly, and his tone softened a little, but the warning in his voice became even stronger and left no room for argument.
"Wu Guang, you must remember this well: the Silent Court is no longer the Silent Court that swept across all directions and was invincible under heaven."
We are facing difficulties every step of the way, and cannot afford to be reckless.
I don't need to teach you this principle a second time.
She slowly turned around, her back to Wu Guang, her posture upright, her voice deep and authoritative, exuding an unyielding strength.
"From now on, no one will dare to cause trouble for Ling Xiao or have any ulterior motives towards him."
She paused, then suddenly turned her head, her cold gaze sweeping over Wu Guang with a fierce look in her eyes.
"You're the first one I'll kill."
Wu Guang was struck dumb, frozen in place, his body ice-cold, he even forgot to breathe, his mind went blank, filled only with fear.
"Get out." Xiang Ying said calmly, his tone even, yet carrying an unyielding command.
