Chapter 14900 Little Phoenix
Upon hearing the news, the leaders of various sects, the heads of major families, and the leaders of various forces, while shocked, almost simultaneously made the same decision: to immediately send people to the Holy Rune Academy to offer their congratulations.
They didn't come to offer their congratulations in good faith, nor did they value their relationship with the Holy Rune Academy. Rather, they were interested in Ling Xiao himself, the path that would allow him to become a high-level Seven-Star Holy Rune Master.
Who wouldn't want to get on the path of a Seven-Star Advanced Saint Rune Master?
Who wouldn't want the support of a high-level seven-star Saint Rune Master?
With Ling Xiao's support, it's like having a continuous supply of high-grade seven-star holy rune stones, which is like having an extra trump card to win in the chaos of the martial world.
From the morning of the second day, the gates of the Holy Rune Academy were never quiet again. People came in an endless stream to offer their congratulations, and the procession of people bringing gifts stretched for so long that it almost broke down the threshold of the Holy Rune Academy.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was the first to send a generous gift: a sword forged from millennia-old cold iron and various rare and precious materials.
The sword is three feet and seven inches long, with a cold and sharp light. The four powerful characters "Sword Heart Clear" are engraved on the sword. The sword energy is crisscrossing, making it a rare and superior spiritual weapon.
The Valley of Myriad Flowers followed closely behind, sending three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Each one was lustrous, rich in spiritual energy, and exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. They were all rare treasures capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones. Each one was priceless and beyond the reach of ordinary forces.
Not to be outdone, the Xuantian Sect sent over a fragment of an ancient cultivation technique. Although it was a fragment, the sword insights recorded on it were profound and insightful, with every word a gem. Even with Ling Xiao's current level of cultivation, he was slightly moved after reading it and benefited greatly.
Even the top families that have always been at odds with the Holy Rune Academy and have had little contact with it have all humbled themselves and sent important figures from their clans to come.
These people brought lavish gifts and showered the people with compliments, a stark contrast to their previous demeanor.
Previously, in order to curry favor with the Silent Court, they never dared to approach the Holy Rune Academy, and were even quite hostile towards it.
Now, everything has changed. They've lowered their stance and become much more respectful, each one shamelessly trying to curry favor with Ling Xiao.
After all, a high-level seven-star Saint Rune Master is too precious and too important.
Ling Xiao did not meet these people. He sat at the top of the Holy Rune Tower, holding a cup of hot tea, watching the crowd with interest, a faint smile on his lips.
this is the truth.
If you fail, you will likely be abandoned by your friends and family.
If you succeed, then you'll have a full house of distinguished guests.
Gifts are always better the more they are given, since these people are just trying to curry favor with him. Whether he helps them or not is another matter.
Jiang Chuan sat next to him, grinning from ear to ear. He was the vice dean of the Holy Rune Academy, and this was the first time he had ever seen the academy receive such acclaim since he joined the academy.
"Grandmaster, our Holy Rune Academy is truly benefiting from your great influence!"
Jiang Chuan's lips curled into a wide grin, unable to suppress his laughter.
"From today onwards, our Holy Rune Academy will become one of the top forces in this chaotic martial world, receiving immense favor and being sought after by countless people!"
Ling Xiao didn't reply, but simply raised his eyes slightly.
His gaze swept over the crowd below, looking towards the distant horizon. His eyes were deep and resolute, as if piercing through layers of clouds to see the underworld town, Ji Mingkong and his two companions, the Silent Court, and the Black Death King.
He knew better than anyone else why these people had come.
They didn't come to offer their congratulations in good faith, nor did they genuinely want to befriend the Holy Rune Academy. They were merely there to probe the situation, to win over this high-level seven-star Holy Rune Master, and to use his power to benefit their own forces.
The value of a Seven-Star Advanced Saint Rune Master goes far beyond a single Seven-Star Advanced Saint Rune Stone.
In this chaotic martial arts world where the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive, a person who can create a high-grade seven-star holy rune stone is equivalent to a strategic weapon, a force capable of influencing the course of events.
Whoever gains his support will have the upper hand in the chaotic world of martial arts, gaining an extra trump card to ensure victory.
Anyone who offends him is courting death and will surely suffer annihilation.
"Let them wait."
Ling Xiao slowly turned around, his tone calm and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, and strode down the tower.
"I have other things to do."
His figure was tall and resolute, and every step he took carried an air of complete composure. Refining a seven-star high-grade holy rune stone was just the beginning.
He has more important things to do and more powerful enemies to deal with. He will not stop, but will continue to grow stronger until he can protect everyone and end all dangers with his own hands.
Ling Xiao did not have to wait long. Among the many forces that flocked to offer their congratulations, the most prominent one finally arrived at the Holy Rune Academy on the third day.
Chishui City is one of the top forces in the chaotic martial arts world, with a profound foundation and formidable power. Its city lord, Chishui Phoenix, is renowned far and wide, and even the leaders of major sects have to show him respect.
It was a young girl who arrived.
She is the young master of Chishui City, Little Phoenix!
The little phoenix was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was dressed in a red cloak, which made her look very domineering. She didn't try to hide it at all, and it even seemed like she was deliberately trying to put some pressure on the Holy Rune Academy.
When others come, they fawn over her; but when she comes, it's as if she's giving orders.
The little phoenix is quite good-looking; her long red hair and slightly bronze skin give her a unique charm.
But the arrogant look on her face, as if she looked down on everyone, was a bit unbearable. The one who's powerful is Chishui Phoenix, not her little phoenix. I don't know what she's so proud of.
She acts like everyone owes her money, and she looks down on everyone.
The guards brought by Little Phoenix were also very strong, all of them likely possessing the cultivation level of the Returning to Truth Realm, with one of them even reaching the peak of the Returning to Truth Realm.
Whether they followed their master's temperament or not, these four guards were arrogant and looked down on everyone, clearly showing their habit of being proud.
The little phoenix landed in the Holy Rune Academy. While others walked in, she flew in directly, showing no respect for the academy. After all, everyone knows that flying in directly is no different from barging in, which is simply impolite.
"What about Ling Xiao?"
Little Phoenix glanced at the people around her, then spoke directly, "Have that Ling Xiao come see me, I need to talk to him!"
Listen to these words; they are not only devoid of any politeness, but are even an order. Anyone who didn't know better would think that this was Chishui City, not the Holy Rune Academy.
Although Jiang Chuan was displeased, he knew that Chishui City was not to be offended, so he flew down from the Sacred Rune Tower and said respectfully, "Greetings, Young City Lord. My junior grandmaster is currently on the Sacred Rune Tower. Let me take you there."
There was no other way; after all, the Phoenix of Chishui was one of the eight strongest figures in the Chaotic Martial World, and Chishui City was full of experts. Their Holy Rune Academy would definitely have to give her face.
The little phoenix sneered, "Such a big shot! He actually wants me to go through. Fine, this young master will give him face today. Lead the way!"
This guy, he's clearly here to ask for a favor, but he's even more arrogant than others.
