Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14366 Rules
The water monster continued its report: "He used multiple spatial nodes to jump, like a cunning fox traversing a complex maze, and in the end... we lost him."

“We have done our best to pursue them, but we still failed to complete the mission. We deserve to die.”

"Should we send more people to expand the search area?"

"As long as the Overlord Emperor gives the order, we will risk our lives to capture that Minghuo Zhenren and bring him to justice."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes like a sharp blade, the light seemingly able to pierce through the void before him, carrying a fierce killing intent.

But soon, like a calm lake, he returned to his usual tranquility, and his eyes became deep and steady again.

After a moment's thought, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, as if he had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He shook his head and commanded in a steady, powerful voice:
"There's no need to waste manpower."

"Since Master Minghuo was able to escape using his strange escape techniques, blindly sending more people to search for him now would be futile and might even alert him."

"Send an order to Xuantian Temple, instructing them to utilize all their intelligence networks to closely monitor the various entrances to the Silent Realm and the surrounding area of ​​the Demon Heaven Sect."

"Xuantian Temple has rich experience and strong capabilities in intelligence gathering. They are like eyes hidden in the darkness, able to perceive every subtle change."

"We must ascertain the exact whereabouts and movements of Master Minghuo, and report back immediately upon receiving any information!"

"This matter cannot be allowed to fail."

"Yes!"

Shui Gui responded respectfully, his voice deep and firm, as if promising Ling Xiao his determination to die.

His figure flickered, like a ghost, and vanished into the shadows in an instant, leaving only a faint trace of his presence as proof that he had been there.

Ling Xiao's gaze once again turned to the depths of the void, towards the direction of the Realm of Annihilation, as if it concealed countless secrets and unknown dangers.

His gaze became distant and profound, as if he had transcended the boundaries of time and space to see that mysterious and dangerous land.

He whispered to himself:
"The Realm of Annihilation... Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary... Demon Heaven Sect..."

So far, what he has come into contact with is probably only the tip of the iceberg of this vast world.

In this vast and boundless world, there are countless forces and countless powerful individuals. He is like a star that has just begun to emerge, appearing so insignificant in this vast starry sky.

His current enemy is only the Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord's faction.

But he had a strong premonition that one day he would face the raging storm of the entire Nirvana Realm.

That will be an unprecedented challenge, a battle for survival.

However, these were not what he was worried about.

He possesses unwavering faith and fearless courage, and he is well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

He is now more worried about Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu.

The whereabouts and safety of these two people who had a deep friendship with him are now unknown.

So many days have passed, and there is still no news of Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu. He is really anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, restless and uneasy.

Every time he thought about the dangers they might face, his heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

On the contrary, he had no fear of the Realm of Annihilation.

Over the years, he has witnessed countless dangers and even desperate situations.

In those countless life-or-death trials, he survived with his wisdom and courage.

The current situation is nothing; it's just another small bump in his road of life.

He believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to overcome the current difficulties, find Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu, and also carve out his own place in this vast world.

At this moment, Lin Ying'er had led the Xi Hua Sect members to complete their preparations.

The disciples of Xihua Sect were all in high spirits, dressed in neat sect attire, holding either longswords or staffs, their faces showing excitement and anticipation.

They lined up in a neat row and, led by Lin Ying'er, walked with firm steps to Ling Xiao.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao quickly suppressed his thoughts about future challenges and Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu, and focused his attention on the matter at hand.

He looked at Ji Mingkong, his gaze filled with trust and authority, and solemnly instructed:

"Mingkong, once we return to the Batian Empire, I'll leave the arrangements for the Xihua Sect members to you."

"The Xi Hua Sect has come from afar to help us, which is a great kindness to our Ba Tian Empire."

"The cultivation methods they practice are special and different from those of ordinary cultivators. They may have unique needs in terms of cultivation resources and environment."

"You must make proper arrangements and pass on my orders: within Batian City, no one is allowed to disturb or provoke the disciples of Xihua Sect without cause."

"Those who disobey orders will be severely punished!"

"No matter who it is, if they dare to break this rule, I will not let them off easily."

Ji Mingkong nodded solemnly, her fair face filled with seriousness and determination, her eyes revealing the importance she placed on the mission:
"Understood, I will personally oversee the matter and will never allow Miss Lin and the others to suffer any injustice."

"I will select the most suitable place to live based on the needs of the Xi Hua Sect members, and arrange their daily cultivation and living needs so that they can feel the warmth of home in Ba Tian City."

After saying that, she took light yet steady steps, leading Lin Ying'er and her sect disciples, and headed back towards the Batian Empire.

As Lin Ying'er walked, she turned back to cast a grateful glance at Ling Xiao, while the disciples of Xi Hua Sect also clasped their hands in a salute to Ling Xiao to express their gratitude.

After the two women left, Ling Xiao looked at Ni Shuanghan, who remained silent and stood with her sword in her arms.

Ni Shuanghan stood tall and straight, like a proud pine tree. The long sword in her arms emitted a cool light, as if it were integrated with her aloof temperament.

Ling Xiao tried asking:
“Fairy Ni, a quiet courtyard has been prepared for you in Batian City.”

"The environment there is elegant and far from the hustle and bustle, making it very suitable for cultivation."

"What do you think?"

Ling Xiao's voice was gentle and sincere, carrying respect for Ni Shuanghan.

Ni Shuanghan raised her clear, cold eyes, which were like stars in a cold night, exuding a hint of chill.

She glanced at Ling Xiao indifferently, without answering his question, as if that single glance contained all her attitude.

With a mere turn of his body, he transformed into a nimble bird, becoming a sharp sword light, and flew directly towards Batian City.

Her silhouette remained aloof and ethereal, a picture of breathtaking beauty bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao could only shake his head and smile helplessly. He was already used to Ni Shuanghan's personality.

Ni Shuanghan has always been independent and doesn't like to interact with others much, but her superb swordsmanship and unique temperament have earned her great respect from Ling Xiao.
