Batian Martial Soul

"It's done."

A confident smile played on Ling Xiao's lips. The demonic intent had completely merged with the sword, not only allowing him to control the demonic sword at will, but also increasing his overall combat power by fifty percent!

This is the real demon sword!
At this moment, Ling Xiao stood quietly in place, his aura completely returning to its original simplicity, all his former sharpness completely concealed, as if he were just an ordinary martial artist.

But this is by no means a step backward; rather, it is to concentrate all the sharpness in the demonic heart and hide it in the sword, so that once it is unleashed, it will be earth-shattering!

"Your Majesty, you have emerged from seclusion?"

A calm female voice came from outside the quiet room.

Ling Xiao pushed open the door and came out, only to see that Ji Mingkong and Shangguan Yue had been waiting for a long time... The former was dressed in an imperial robe and looked solemn; the latter was dressed in a green robe, holding a folding fan, and her eyes also showed some worry.

"What is it?" Ling Xiao's tone was calm, yet it carried an inherent authority.

Ji Mingkong stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Mu Qianxue did not leave the Batian Empire, but instead infiltrated the Batian Academy."

Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted!
The Batian Academy is the very foundation of the Batian Empire! Founded during the Tianlong Continent era, it has continued to this day, and the martial artists it has trained are found in every corner of the empire. It is the key to the empire's ability to establish itself on the Bai Ze Continent.

It was no accident that Mu Qianxue sneaked into this place.

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "I'll go take a look."

"Better safe than sorry," Ji Mingkong cautioned. "She hasn't made any unusual moves within the academy, but instead remains there as a 'guest tutor,' which suggests she may have ulterior motives."

Ling Xiao nodded, and his figure suddenly transformed into a cloud of black mist, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

……

Batian Academy has no fixed campus. Whenever it travels to a continent, it sets up a temporary base in a place rich in spiritual energy. Its current base is located in the Yunxia Mountains in the eastern part of the Batian Empire. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with spiritual energy as misty as the clouds, and the scenery is beautiful.

But at this moment, a number of hidden auras have quietly gathered on the outskirts of this beautiful mountain range.

Lingxiao stood atop the clouds, his divine sense spreading out like a net, instantly covering an area of ​​a hundred miles.

Seventeen concealed auras, belonging to different forces, were all secretly spying on the movements of Batian Academy... Clearly, these people were all after him, or after Mu Qianxue.

Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Do they really think his Overlord Empire is a place where anyone can run wild?
The next moment, he let out a low shout, and his divine sense suddenly condensed, transforming into seventeen jet-black divine sense arrows that silently pierced through the void and rushed straight to those seventeen hidden places!

puff!puff!puff!
Without a sound, the lurking observers didn't even have time to scream before their souls were completely annihilated by the divine arrows, their bodies collapsing to the ground silently.

This divine sense strike instantly shocked all the forces lurking deeper within.

"Such ruthless killing intent! No wonder he is the Overlord Emperor Ling Xiao!"

A deep voice came from the depths of the clouds, carrying a hint of apprehension and dissatisfaction. An old man in a purple robe slowly stepped out, his aura as vast and unfathomable as an abyss. He was actually a Breakthrough Realm expert, and the fluctuations of spiritual power around him were enough to crush ordinary Emperor Realm experts.

Ling Xiao glanced at him, his tone as cold as a knife: "Get out of the territory of the Overlord Empire within three breaths. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

"Arrogant!" The purple-robed elder laughed angrily. "I have roamed the Silent Realm for hundreds of years and have seen at least eighty or a hundred geniuses, but I have never seen such an ignorant junior as you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao's figure had already disappeared.

It wasn't teleportation, but rather a speed so fast that it broke through spatial limitations, leaving not even a trace behind!

"cut!"

The cold, clear voice echoed through the void, as if time had been paused at that moment.

The purple-robed elder's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his soul screamed in alarm, but his body was rooted to the spot, unable to move even a finger.

He could only watch helplessly as a dark, long sword pierced his brow as if it were a leisurely stroll, without the slightest resistance.

The sword strikes, and the man dies.

A powerful cultivator at the Breakthrough Realm will perish upon death.

Ling Xiao sheathed his sword and stood there, his expression indifferent.

With his current strength at the "My Demon Realm" level, coupled with his extreme speed, dealing with a martial artist who has just entered the Breaking Realm and has not yet fully mastered the laws is an overwhelming victory... His extremely fast surprise attack is enough to render any defense useless.

This is the power of my Demon Realm!
He surveyed the surrounding void, his voice booming like a great bell, carrying for miles: "Who else wants to try?"

The void was deathly silent; even the wind seemed to have frozen.

A moment later, the hidden presences receded like a tide, and they ran away faster than anyone else... Ling Xiao's decisive killing shattered their wishful thinking.

Only after all the prying eyes had left did Ling Xiao turn around, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the Batian Academy deep within the Yunxia Mountains.

……

Inside Batian Academy, the atmosphere was already electric.

Today, Ling Xiao is not only the emperor of the Batian Empire, but also the undisputed number one among the younger generation in the Silent Realm. His legendary story of rising from humble beginnings and confronting the Holy Temple has long been widely circulated among the academy's disciples, making him an idol admired by countless people.

"Big brother!"

A clear shout rang out, and the little fox, dressed in a pink academy disciple's robe, rushed out of the main hall. The moment she saw Ling Xiao, her bright eyes shone like stars.

She wanted to throw herself into Ling Xiao's arms, but when she saw the disciples gathering around, she stopped in her tracks. Instead, she quickly ran to Ling Xiao's side, grabbed his arm tightly, and blushed.

"Big brother, what brings you here?" The little fox looked up, its eyes full of joy.

Ling Xiao reached out and gently ruffled her soft hair, his voice gentle: "I came to see you. Are you settling in well here?"

"I'm really used to it!" The little fox nodded vigorously, recounting the story as if it were a treasure trove. "Now the academy has over three thousand disciples! Everyone is very friendly, and there are many powerful instructors teaching us cultivation... Oh, Sister Mu!"

She suddenly turned her head and looked towards the main hall.

Mu Qianxue, dressed in a white dress, walked out slowly, her skirt swaying gently, exuding a gentle and graceful temperament, completely different from her previous sharp demeanor.

She first smiled gently at the little fox, then turned her gaze to Ling Xiao, her tone carrying a hint of meaning: "Congratulations, Young Hero Ling, your martial arts have improved another level."

Ling Xiao remained calm and spoke in a distant tone: "Miss Mu has gone to great lengths to pay attention."

Their eyes met, seemingly calm, but in reality, they had already secretly begun to communicate telepathically.

Mu Qianxue's voice carried a hint of mockery, directly piercing Ling Xiao's weak spot: "I heard that Young Hero Ling cares most about this little fox. Tell me, if I were to do something to her here, would you be able to save her in time?"

"You can try," Ling Xiao interrupted her directly, his voice filled with a chilling and murderous intent that almost materialized. "The consequences are something you can't afford."

"Oh?" Mu Qianxue raised an eyebrow. "It seems Young Master Ling is quite certain that I won't harm her?"
