Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14298 Nothing can be done
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's voice turned frantic, yet still retained a sliver of reason. He couldn't allow himself to completely succumb to madness, or he wouldn't be able to do anything: "Quick!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, echoing in everyone's ears and giving them a jolt.

"Yes!"

An elderly man in black robes approached him without hesitation. He knew Ling Xiao's feelings at this moment and understood the seriousness of the matter.

He immediately bowed and accepted the order, his posture like a tall pine tree, full of determination and resolve.

With a flicker, he transformed into a ghostly figure, disappearing into the horizon at top speed to deliver the message to Batian City.

The speed was so fast that it was like a lightning bolt streaking across the night sky, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

In the arena, the remaining members of the Overlord Empire looked at each other, their eyes filled with great worry and confusion.

Anxiety was written on everyone's face, as if a storm was about to break.

They all understood what Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu meant to Ling Xiao; they were not only his family, but also the most important people in his life.

If anything happens to either of them, Ling Xiao will definitely go crazy, and I don't know what kind of insane things he might do.

A mad tyrant is definitely not as good as a rational tyrant.

The crazed Ling Xiao might disregard everything to find Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu, even at the cost of opposing the entire universe.

In that case, the Overlord Empire would be plunged into an unprecedented crisis, countless people would die as a result, and countless families would be torn apart.

Thinking of this, everyone was filled with fear and worry. They didn't know how to face the impending storm and could only silently pray that Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu would be safe and sound.

Ling Xiao stood quietly before this shattered void, a landscape scarred and filled with the aura of death. His figure was upright, yet he exuded an indescribable weariness and anxiety.

He slowly closed his eyes, and beneath those tightly closed eyes was a surging tide of worry and anxiety.

At this moment, he tried to call out silently in his heart, and the voice seemed to transcend the barriers of time and space, carrying the deepest longing in his heart: "Senior Lei Ling, can you hear my voice? Can you sense what is happening here now?"

His voice was soft yet full of expectation, as if simply calling out like that would bring the long-awaited answer.

A moment later, Lei Ling's somewhat helpless voice echoed in his mind: "No, I can't sense it either... This void has been disturbed by an extremely powerful force, and all traces have been completely erased."

A moment later, Lei Ling's voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, echoed in his mind: "Unless my master, Dao Sha, personally intervenes, he possesses power surpassing this world and might be able to discern the truth. Unfortunately, you haven't yet gained his approval, and he won't easily use his supernatural abilities for you..."

Lei Ling sighed, the sigh seemingly carrying endless regret, echoing in her silent heart.

He knew that Ling Xiao was very anxious. From Ling Xiao's slightly trembling body and clenched fists, he could feel the deep-seated worry in Ling Xiao's heart.

But he was helpless. Although he had certain abilities, he seemed so small and powerless in the face of this terrifyingly powerful force.

Dao Sha is currently unwilling to help Ling Xiao at all, so this is something Ling Xiao has to solve himself; no one else can do anything about it.

Ling Xiao's brows furrowed even more, like two insurmountable mountains pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

He looked once more at the shattered void that was still slowly collapsing and exuding an aura of destruction; the scene of collapse was just like his shattered heart at that moment.

A rare, profound sense of bewilderment and confusion flashed in his eyes, like that of a traveler lost in the darkness, unable to find any direction.

With Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu's unfathomable strength and endless tricks, there are very few people in this Tianyuan who can threaten them or even drive them to the brink of despair!
What exactly happened to them?
Have they encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, or have they fallen into some kind of meticulously designed trap?

Ling Xiao's mind was filled with questions, but he couldn't find an answer.

Just then, a dazzling light pierced the sky, and an old man dressed in a white robe with star and moon patterns hurried over.

The white robe shimmered with mysterious star patterns, as if it contained the secrets of the universe.

His long, silvery-white beard was slightly disheveled from the rapid flight, fluttering wildly in the wind, yet it did not diminish his majesty and solemnity in the slightest.

He was riding a compass-shaped magical artifact, which emitted a faint light, as if guiding the way in the darkness.

This person was none other than Xuan Tianzi, who was in charge of Xuan Tian Temple. After receiving the order, he did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to this place as quickly as possible.

Ling Xiao immediately stepped forward, his steps hurried and flustered, as if each step carried his inner anxiety.

His voice sounded somewhat hurried because of his urgency: "How is it?"
Can any clues be deduced from this?

His eyes were fixed on Xuan Tianzi, as if trying to find the long-awaited answer on his face.

Xuan Tianzi steadied himself, a look of shame on his face, a shame that hung over his face like a dark cloud.

He slowly shook his head, the movement heavy and helpless, his tone extremely somber: "The trajectory of Heaven's Dao has been completely obscured by an extremely powerful and strange force. This force is beyond our imagination. It is like an invisible net, tightly enveloping all clues about Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu."

All the secrets surrounding them are shrouded in mystery; we... cannot deduce even the slightest thing about them.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if carrying endless weariness and helplessness.

"Unable to deduce?"

What does this mean?

Ling Xiao's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief and urgency. His voice suddenly rose, as if to tear apart the oppressive air.

His fingernails were almost digging into his palms, but the sharp pain was nothing compared to the torment he was going through. Every bit of pain felt like an outward expression of his inner anxiety.

Xuan Tianzi sighed deeply, his sigh echoing in the silent air like the heavy tolling of a bell, carrying endless helplessness and worry.

He said, word by word, "According to the ancient records and the joint analysis of the elders in the temple, there are only three possibilities: First, Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu have instantly left this world. Their speed is beyond our imagination and may even be beyond our ability to sense."

In this vast universe, once you are beyond the reach of perception, it is like a kite with a broken string, and you will naturally be unable to deduce their whereabouts.

Secondly, there are powerful beings whose cultivation far surpasses ours, who have forcibly disrupted and concealed all the heavenly secrets and destinies related to them with supreme divine powers. If that's the case, I'm afraid the two of them will be in danger..."
