Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14316 Heavenly Abyss, Earthly Sea, Cloud Whale, Starry Sky
Yuwen Qingtian's eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he already regarded the person behind Ling Xiao as his own.

Ling Xiao immediately understood, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

Not only did they want to kill him, but they also wanted to eliminate everyone connected to him; this was simply outrageous.

But he quickly suppressed his anger.

Are his backers so easy to kill?

Ling Xiao almost burst out laughing.

Undeniably, Yuwen Qingtian is indeed powerful, and is one of the top experts in the Tianyuan Holy Hall. However, those behind him are all former big shots of the Demonic Sect!
Those big shots were all powerful figures who commanded respect in their respective regions; any one of them could easily crush Yuwen Qingtian.

If these people knew that Yuwen Qingtian dared to plot against them, they would probably tear him to pieces without hesitation.

Just then, Yuwen Qingtian asked again, "What, you don't dare let them show themselves?"

Could it be that they don't even exist, and you just made them up to scare people?

His tone was full of sarcasm, trying to provoke Ling Xiao and make him reveal a weakness.

Ling Xiao secretly pondered that since the other party was being so aggressive, he might as well give them a "surprise".

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand, revealing a painting scroll.

The scroll emitted a soft light and slowly unfurled. The woman in the painting wore a moon-colored long dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, as if carrying an ethereal aura.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, spotless, like a celestial maiden descended to earth, inspiring awe in all who beheld her.

Ling Xiao said coldly, "This is one of the people I asked you to find. Do you dare to touch her?"

He wanted to see how Yuwen Qingtian would react after seeing the painting.

Ling Xiao remained calm, his gaze fixed on Yuwen Qingtian. His tone was a mix of provocation and nonchalance as he loudly declared, "Go ahead and search!"

I'd like to see if you can find it.

He was actually hoping to try his luck.

The Moon Maiden's whereabouts are always elusive, and I have searched everywhere for a long time but have been unable to find any trace of her.

Now that the people from Tianyuan Temple have offered to help find the person and even displayed that seemingly mysterious star chart, we might as well give them the Moon Maiden's scroll.

Perhaps while you are searching desperately for her, the other party has a way to find the Moon Maiden smoothly.

To be honest, deep down he really hoped that the people of Tianyuan Temple could find the Moon Maiden for him.

Since parting with Yue Nu, time has quietly passed, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. His longing for Yue Nu has been surging like a tide, growing ever stronger.

At this moment, he was filled with anticipation to see the Moon Maiden again through this opportunity.

Yuwen Qingtian turned his head slightly and looked at Tianjizi beside him.

Tianjizi understood, and slowly extended his wrinkled hands, carefully placing the scroll on the star chart that emitted a mysterious light.

The runes on the star chart flickered erratically, as if sensing the aura within the painting.

"It will take some time." Tianjizi's hoarse voice slowly sounded, his eyes fixed on the star chart, as if he were observing something.

Yuwen Qingtian frowned slightly and asked, "How long?"

He didn't want to waste too much time here; there were many important things waiting for him to deal with.

"It depends on the distance; it can take a moment for someone nearby, or several hours for someone far away," Tianjizi replied calmly, his eyes revealing a certainty, as if he had complete confidence in the star chart's ability to locate people.

Yuwen Qingtian nodded slightly and said, "Then we'll wait."

After saying that, he turned to Ling Xiao, looked him up and down for a moment, his eyes filled with scrutiny and regret, and slowly said, "To become a disciple of the Saint is an opportunity that so many people in the Tianyuan Holy Hall dream of!"

Countless people would kill for this opportunity, yet you so easily refused; you'll surely regret it later.

In his view, Ling Xiao's refusal of such an opportunity was utterly foolish.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said, "I don't have the habit of casually recognizing fathers."

Besides, I don't need a father!

In his heart, the so-called saintly adoption of a son was nothing but an empty title, and he would never recognize an unrelated person as his father for such an empty title.

Yuwen Qingtian chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain in his voice, and said, "Do you know what kind of fortune you've missed?"

Becoming a disciple of the saint will grant you endless resources and power, and your future achievements will be limitless.

He tried to persuade Ling Xiao to realize what a rare opportunity he was rejecting.

Ling Xiao's mind raced; he didn't want to be led by the nose by Yuwen Qingtian forever.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked, "You come from the Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall. In the Realm of Silent Annihilation, are there any forces comparable to yours?"

He had always been curious about the power distribution in the Silent Realm, and now was the perfect opportunity to ask Yuwen Qingtian about it.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuwen Qingtian's eyes; he hadn't expected Ling Xiao to suddenly ask such a question.

But he quickly regained his composure, a confident smile playing on his lips, and said, “That’s right, the Realm of Annihilation has five halls: Heavenly Abyss, Earth Sea, Cloud Whale, Starry Sky, and the most terrifying Annihilation Holy Hall. Each hall has a Holy Lord.”

These five sanctuaries each occupy a significant territory within the Realm of Annihilation, wielding immense power. They both compete and cooperate with each other, collectively maintaining order within the Realm of Annihilation.

He gave Ling Xiao a detailed account of the power structure of the Silent Realm, as if demonstrating his knowledge and status.

Yuwen Qingtian scrutinized Ling Xiao with great interest. Under the reflection of the vast starlight, his golden eyes shimmered with an unfathomable light, as if they held countless unknown secrets and schemes.

He slightly raised his chin, his voice deep and magnetic, like muffled thunder from the abyss, carrying a condescending and scrutinizing tone, as he slowly asked, "What, do you look down on our Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary?"

Do you perhaps find our Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary unworthy of your attention?

His words carried a hint of provocation and displeasure, as if he wanted to see every single reaction from Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao smiled nonchalantly, a smile that revealed a hint of unruliness and composure.

His starry eyes gleamed as he slowly swept across the enemy ranks, taking in the ferocious faces of each of the Holy Temple experts.

Those powerful figures either had fleshy faces and fierce eyes, or had gloomy expressions and a chilling killing intent, like a pack of hungry beasts ready to pounce and tear Ling Xiao to pieces at any moment.

Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly as he said in a relaxed tone, "I'm just a little curious, why are only people from your Tianyuan Holy Hall here?"

Are the other sanctuaries not interested in the ancient artifacts or the Overlord Empire?

This ancient artifact is incredibly powerful, and the Overlord Empire is rich in resources. Logically, it should be highly sought after by all factions.

His voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

However, his fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the sword, his knuckles turning white from the force, revealing that his inner state was not as calm as it appeared.
