Chapter 14315 I'm used to eliminating problems at their root

The title "A Thousand Men Can Destroy a Country" sounded incredibly impressive, and he was eager to know the exact strength of this team so that he could prepare a countermeasure.

The dark figure shook his head slightly, his voice low and tinged with helplessness: "The Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary is very tight-lipped about this. I have used all sorts of methods, but I still cannot find out any definite information about the strength of this 'Holy Sword Guard'."

"They seem to be shrouded in mystery, making them elusive."

Ling Xiao's gaze sharpened, and he asked again, "How far is it?"

He needs to know how long it will take for the enemy to arrive so he can make preparations in advance.

“Half a day’s journey,” the shadowy figure replied quickly.

Ling Xiao waved his hand without hesitation and said decisively, "Explore again."

"Make sure to gather as much useful intelligence as possible before they arrive."

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. In this upcoming great war, any piece of intelligence could be the key to victory or defeat.

The dark figure responded and instantly transformed into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing into the air as if it had never existed.

On the dragon's head, Ling Xiao slowly closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to calm his mind so that he could better think of a solution.

Ji Mingkong stood quietly by her side, her graceful figure like a flower blooming in the night sky.

Starlight shone on her delicate profile, outlining her perfect features and adding a touch of mysterious beauty.

She vigilantly surveyed her surroundings, ready to respond to any potential dangers.

After a long while, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

At this moment, he felt as if he were carrying an invisible mountain on his back, making it hard for him to breathe.

The burden is as heavy as a mountain!

Only now did he truly and deeply understand the immense responsibility he bore as the Overlord Emperor.

Behind them lay the life and death of billions of Tianxuan beings; their fates were in their own hands.

If defeated, the entire empire will be plunged into utter ruin, countless families will be torn apart, and countless lives will be lost.

War is always cruel and merciless, and the Tianyuan Temple, having mobilized its entire force, will show no mercy.

They are like a pack of hungry beasts, willing to stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and will mercilessly slaughter anyone who stands in their way.

Ling Xiao subconsciously stroked the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in his hand, feeling the slight coolness emanating from the blade.

The blade shimmered with black light, as if it contained endless mysterious power.

He stared at the sword and muttered to himself, "Cunning fellow, this battle may be our swan song."

"Don't you dare run away at the last minute, or I'll destroy you the next time we meet!"

The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword had been with him for many years, going through countless battles and becoming his most trusted partner. However, in the face of this life-or-death battle, he had no choice but to sound the alarm for the sword in advance.

The Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword seemed to understand Ling Xiao's words, and it began to vibrate and hum. As its eerie light flowed, it revealed a resolute sharpness, as if promising Ling Xiao that it would fight alongside him and face life and death together.

As if sensing Ling Xiao's urgency, the Azure Dragon let out a long roar and increased its speed once more, like a black lightning bolt, traversing countless star fields.

The surrounding stars flashed past like shooting stars, so fast it was dazzling.

Half a day later.

Ling Xiao and the others finally met Yuwen Qingtian and his group from the Tianyuan Holy Hall.

Yuwen Qingtian sat atop a colossal golden-winged roc. The roc was enormous, its wingspan obscuring the sky, and its golden feathers shone brilliantly in the sunlight, exuding an aura of majesty.

When the Golden-Winged Roc under Yuwen Qingtian saw the Azure Dragon, its eyes immediately flashed with ferocity, as if it wanted to devour the Azure Dragon alive.

It let out a sharp cry, its claws gleaming coldly, appearing exceptionally sharp in the sunlight.

The Azure Dragon let out an uneasy low growl, its scales bristling as if it sensed a tremendous threat.

After all, that thing wasn't a real Azure Dragon, but just an Azure Snake containing some dragon blood, and it came from the Demon Sea.

It would be difficult for it not to feel fear in the face of the real mythical beast, the Golden-Winged Roc.

Even so, it remained steadfastly by Ling Xiao's side, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Yuwen Qingtian sat upright on the Golden-Winged Roc, his posture as straight as a pine tree, exuding a chilling majesty.

His gaze was like lightning, so sharp it seemed to pierce through one's soul. He stared straight at Ling Xiao, his voice as cold as ice: "I've heard you have powerful backers. Why don't you ask them to show themselves?"

"Could it be that you're afraid and dare not let them come out to meet us?"

His tone was full of provocation and disdain, as if he was convinced that Ling Xiao would not dare to let his backer show his face.

Ling Xiao remained calm, shook his head slightly, and said slowly, "I don't know where they are now either."

"Their whereabouts are elusive, they are like dragons that appear and disappear without a trace, and I have no way to control their movements."

He sneered inwardly. These people really thought they could manipulate the power behind him at will. They were delusional.

Yuwen Qingtian pondered for a moment, a calculating glint flashing in his deep eyes. Then he turned to look behind him and said loudly, "Tianjizi, find out who's behind him. Whoever it is, find out for me."

"I want to see what kind of character dares to oppose my Tianyuan Holy Hall."

His voice echoed through the starry sky, carrying an undeniable authority.

An old man in black robes stepped forward in response. He was hunched over and his face was withered, as if a gust of wind could blow him over, but his eyes gleamed with an eerie light, as if they could see through all the secrets of the world.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a star chart, which emitted a mysterious light and was covered with complex runes and star patterns, as if it contained endless mysteries.

The old man looked at Ling Xiao and said in a hoarse voice, "Give me one of their tokens, or a portrait, and I will find it for you."

"As long as there is even the slightest clue, I can use this astrolabe to track them down."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He remained silent, his mind racing as he tried to think of a solution.

Looking for someone? Ling Xiao was secretly shocked, not expecting the other party to make this request.

This is undoubtedly an attempt to wipe out their entire power; their malicious intent is outrageous.

However, he remained outwardly calm and tried his best to keep himself composed.

Ling Xiao looked at Yuwen Qingtian, his gaze carrying a hint of question: "Why are you looking for them?"

He tried to extract more information from Yuwen Qingtian, and also wanted to see what the other party was planning.

Yuwen Qingtian smiled calmly, a smile that revealed a hint of cruelty and resolve: "We are used to eliminating problems at their root, do you understand?"

"Only by eliminating everyone connected to you can we rest easy."

"Otherwise, if someone were to avenge them in the future, wouldn't that lead to endless trouble?"
