Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14011 Annihilating the Holy Lord of Tianyuan
"Once this counterattack begins, it will inevitably be a bloodbath, and all forces will be drawn into it. Your relationship with the young demon king will likely become the target of everyone's criticism."

Qin Xianglan's voice carried a heavy tone, as if she had already foreseen the cruelty of the future.

Ling Xiao stared in shock, his eyes widening instantly, like two obsidian gems about to pop out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief.

"Counterattack?"

"Counterattack whom?"

"Given the current strength of all parties, who would dare to rashly launch a war?"

"In the current situation, with various forces checking and balancing each other, a slight misstep could trigger a full-scale war. Who has the courage and confidence to provoke a war?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, each word filled with shock and bewilderment at the sudden news.

Qin Xianglan shook her head helplessly, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze, her face filled with worry and resignation.
"I don't know what they're relying on, but since they dare to act, they must be very confident."

"These major powers have always acted cautiously, so their boldness this time must mean they have some hidden trump card."

“Ling Xiao, the situation is far more complex and dangerous than you and I can imagine. It would be best if you distanced yourself from the Demon King to avoid getting involved in unnecessary conflicts.”

"Once this war starts, it won't be something you can easily control."

After saying that, she turned to leave, her steps hurried, as if staying even a second longer would plunge her into deeper danger.

Ling Xiao hurriedly called out, "Miss Qin!"

The voice was urgent yet tinged with reluctance, as if afraid that once Qin Xianglan left, they would never see each other again.

Qin Xianglan stopped and slowly turned to look at Ling Xiao.

Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: worry, reluctance, and a hint of unspoken anticipation.

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, his eyes becoming incredibly sincere. He clasped his hands together and said earnestly:

"Miss Su, if you ever need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to assist you!"

"Although my abilities are limited, I will never refuse to do anything that is within my power!"

His voice was firm and sincere, as if he were making an extremely important promise.

Qin Xianglan gave Ling Xiao a deep look, her gaze seeming to etch his image into her heart.

She said softly, "Be careful."

"In this chaotic world, danger lurks everywhere. You must protect yourself."

After saying that, she left without looking back, her steps firm and resolute, leaving Ling Xiao standing there, watching her departing figure, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He didn't know what the future held, nor whether he would ever see Qin Xianglan again. He only felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making him feel extremely heavy.

Ling Xiao shook his head, trying to bring himself back to his senses from the chaos of his thoughts. He stopped thinking about it and returned to Batian City.

However, the moment he stepped into Batian City, he saw the young demon king standing there waiting.

The young demon king stood tall and straight, exuding a powerful aura, like an unshakeable mountain.

Beside this young demon king stood a dozen or so people, dressed in different clothes, but all with sharp eyes and extraordinary auras, all of them masters.

Ling Xiao's gaze swept over these people one by one, and his heart tightened involuntarily.

Ling Xiao had basically seen them on the last battlefield, and he knew their strength all too well; each of them was a powerful warrior capable of taking on a hundred opponents.

Ling Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. His intuition told him that these people were no ordinary individuals, and their strength was probably unfathomable.

He instinctively clenched his fists, looking at the crowd warily, like a cheetah about to face danger.

The young demon king scanned the crowd with a cold and sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through their very souls.

He asked, "Is everything ready?"

The voice was deep and authoritative, as if it carried an unquestionable power.

An elderly man, hunched over but vigorous in spirit, quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly, clasped his hands in a respectful salute, and spoke in a steady and resonant voice:
"Reporting to the Demon King, it can be delivered immediately."

"The necessary items have already been prepared and will be presented quickly upon your command."

Their expressions revealed their utter awe and reverence for the young demon king.

The Demon King's expression was cold and his gaze sharp. After scanning the room, he asked, "Have all the other matters been arranged?"

The voice was deep and powerful, carrying an invisible pressure that made everyone present shudder.

The other person, dressed in a close-fitting outfit and with a lithe figure, nodded quickly, his eyes full of certainty.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for everyone to gather together at the end."

"Personnel allocation, route planning, material reserves and other matters have all been arranged, and we are just waiting for the right time to take full action."

As soon as the words were spoken, a woman in white walked slowly over with graceful steps.

With her graceful figure, stunning beauty, and ethereal气质, she was like a white lotus blooming in the mortal world—it was Lü Ning.

Lu Ning first glanced at Ling Xiao, her eyes filled with a complex emotion, a mixture of worry and expectation.

Then, she walked to the Demon King's side, gracefully bowed, and said:
"My Lord Demon King, all preparations are complete."

"From intelligence gathering to tactical deployment, every step has been carefully considered and confirmed to ensure the success of this operation."

The young demon king nodded slightly, his rugged face expressionless. He turned his gaze to the crowd, his voice clear and firm:
"Ling Xiao will also participate in this operation."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Ling Xiao, their gazes like sharp arrows, filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Some people frowned slightly, seemingly considering the pros and cons of Ling Xiao joining the operation; others had calm eyes, simply observing Ling Xiao's reaction; but no one said much, and the scene was silent, with only the sound of a gentle breeze.

Ling Xiao felt increasingly uneasy, and that unease surged into his heart like waves.

He took another step forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked:

"Brother Demon King, could you tell me what kind of operation this is?"

"I can't just get involved without really knowing what's going on."

"Although I have agreed to join forces with you, I also hope to know the specific details of the operation so that I can make preparations."

His eyes were full of doubt and worry, after all, this operation seemed to be of great importance, and the slightest carelessness could lead to utter ruin.

The young demon king's eyes were resolute as he stared directly at Ling Xiao, speaking each word clearly and deliberately:
"Annihilate the Holy Lord of Tianyuan!"

The voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying a chilling killing intent that made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

"To kill...to annihilate the Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord?"

Ling Xiao's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief, and his voice trembled involuntarily.
