Chapter 14723 The Silent Court is About to Make a Big Move
Wang Xuanying was speechless... He had never thought of this aspect.

His only thought was how to leave, how to escape this cage; he never considered how to survive after leaving.

Ling Xiao's tone was indifferent, yet every word was like a hammer blow:

"Going to Tianmen now would be tantamount to suicide."

Wang Xuanying was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Then...we won't go?"

Ling Xiao's gaze was sharp as a sword as he stared directly at Wang Xuanying, his tone unwavering:
"Go. But not by taking shortcuts, but by relying on your own strength to get through!"

We'll get through it based on our own strength!

Wang Xuanying stared at Ling Xiao in astonishment and asked in a trembling voice:
"Young friend, are you going to force your way through the Heavenly Gate?"

Ling Xiao nodded:

"Wang Xuanying, please pass on this message: When I, Lingxiao, am about to head to Tianmen, I will use this item to open a passage for you all to travel together. But not now... My strength is still too weak, and I don't want to go and die prematurely."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanying's voice trembled with excitement:

"Is this...truly true?"

Ling Xiao nodded:

"It's true. However, I will need your help during this time. It won't be long, at most a year."

Wang Xuanying took a deep breath, bowed solemnly to Ling Xiao, and was extremely respectful:

"Within a year, young friend, if you have any orders, just say the word! Everyone on Broken Boundary Mountain will obey!"

Ling Xiao nodded:

"Alright. Now, I need spirit crystals, the higher the grade the better, and the more the better."

Wang Xuanying said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, young friend, I'll get on it right away! I'll use all the resources of Breaking Boundaries Mountain to gather the necessary materials for you!"

Ling Xiao slightly raised his eyes and looked at the Heavenly Gate Barrier that had suppressed countless ages and stretched across the sky.

This time, he will rely on his own strength to enter the Heavenly Gate, without taking any shortcuts!

If the Holy Temple of Annihilation dares to block his way, he will kill all those who stand in his way.

A moment later, black mist surged around Ling Xiao, and he transformed into a streak of black light, disappearing into the horizon in an instant, never to be seen again.

Wang Xuanying remained standing, gazing upwards, his eyes fixed on the Heavenly Gate Barrier that had suppressed countless ages.

One year!
He knew better than anyone that with his current meager cultivation, even if he were to reach the Heavenly Gate, in that supreme realm, he would likely be nothing more than an insignificant ant, his life and death entirely out of his own hands. Yet, even so, he still wanted to go and see, wanted to take a gamble!
Moreover, stepping through the Heavenly Gate might truly offer a glimmer of hope and a genuine rebirth.

In any case, he was merely clinging to life in this desolate realm, his days numbered and his future uncertain; he simply didn't have much time to squander.

One year!
For him, whose lifespan was nearing its end, it was nothing more than a fleeting moment, passing in the blink of an eye.

……

Ling Xiao sped along, finally landing atop a solitary, precipitous mountain. He stood with his hands behind his back on the edge of the cliff, the wind whipping his robes in the wind. He slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his body.

He has a deep-seated and indelible obsession with leaving the Realm of Nirvana.

Because the woman he cherishes and loves is waiting for him outside the Realm of Annihilation. If he cannot even break through this supreme gate, then there is no way he can leave the Realm of Annihilation and reunite with her.

He absolutely cannot let the Moon Maiden remain alone, fighting her battles alone!

He knew better than anyone that the Moon Maiden had already offended countless top forces and supreme beings in order to shield him from the overwhelming karma and resolve endless killing intent. Her current situation must be fraught with difficulties and extremely challenging.

Just as his thoughts were churning and his emotions were in turmoil, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky!

The entire sky suddenly tore apart, and a purple lightning bolt carrying endless destructive power crashed down, heading straight for Ling Xiao's head with the force to annihilate everything!
Ling Xiao suddenly looked up...

Amidst the raging rain and lightning, an old man in black robes stood proudly, his aura vast and unfathomable, as if the entire world was under his control.

The old man in black robes looked down at Ling Xiao with icy, knife-like eyes. His voice was cold and domineering, each word like a thunderclap:
"Ling Xiao, your destruction of the Sword Star Holy Hall has thoroughly enraged my Silent Extinction Court! You, and those behind you, no matter how many there are, will all die!"

They must all die!

As the four words fell, the world seemed to fall silent.

Ling Xiao remained indifferent and silent.

He already knew in his heart that the person before him was a powerful figure from the third level of the Realm of Annihilation. That was the final stretch of road leading to the outer realm, the supreme world beyond the Heavenly Gate, and the true ruler under the command of the Court of Annihilation… the Divine Envoy of Annihilation!
The other party was clearly enraged and not only wanted to kill him here, but also to exterminate everyone involved with him.

Ling Xiao raised his eyes, his gaze calmly meeting the black-robed elder's, and spoke softly:
“I’m standing right here. If you want to kill me, go ahead.”

After saying that, he didn't look at her again and turned to leave calmly.

The old man in black robes stared intently at Ling Xiao's back, his gaze sinister, his tone filled with undisguised contempt: "Ant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure gradually blurred in the void, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.

That gaze, that posture, was an absolute contempt from a supreme being, like a god from the heavens looking down at insignificant insects and ants in the dust.

Is it arrogance?

It's not arrogance.

To the lofty and powerful Silent Extinction Court, Lingxiao was indeed weak and insignificant. In the eyes of the true top-tier powerhouses, the entire Silent Extinction Realm was nothing more than a group of uncivilized barbarians.

However, they also had to admit that truly terrifying powerhouses had once been born in this desolate realm!
For example, the once invincible leader of the Demon Sect!

For example, the mysterious and unpredictable figure behind Ling Xiao!
Those people had caused their sanctuary immense suffering and made them pay a heavy price.

Why would someone suffer a loss?
It was all because we underestimated our opponent, because we didn't understand them!

Now, they believe they have figured out the strength of the person behind Ling Xiao, and this time, they are absolutely confident that they can completely eliminate all hidden dangers.

The old man in black robes glanced indifferently to the right, which was where Broken Boundary Mountain was located.

Unfortunately, the Sword Star Sanctuary, this carefully placed pawn, has been completely rendered useless. Without the Sword Star Sanctuary as their eyes and ears planted in the Realm of Annihilation, their plans have ultimately been significantly impacted.

The old man in black robes glanced coldly in the direction Ling Xiao had left, then his aura vanished completely into the void without a trace.

……

In the distance, Ling Xiao walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Beside her, Ling Bi followed closely, her small face showing a hint of worry, and she spoke softly:
"Brother, the Silent Court is probably about to make a big move. They're not only targeting you, but also your Moon Maiden sister! Will she... will she be in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm and confident smile:

"You should ask if they are in danger. Even those so-called strong people at the Holy Temple headquarters probably can't hurt her in the slightest."
