Chapter 14959 We Will Not Abandon Our People
A cold smile curled at the corner of Xiang Ying's lips: "Whether you can protect it or not is not up to you. Yelü Jin, let me tell you, even if the entire Silent Court dies in battle, I will not hand over the Demon Lord's treasure to you."
"You want to steal Ling Xiao? Fine. You'll have to step over my dead body first."
She held a long spear, aimed it at Yelü Jin, and her attitude was very resolute.
Because she knew very well that once the Demon Lord's treasure was handed over to Yelü Jin, not only Ling Xiao would suffer, but the entire Silent Court would also be in trouble.
Yelü Jin's face darkened completely.
He hadn't expected Xiang Ying's attitude to be so resolute. He thought ten years of peace would be enough to sway her, but he underestimated Xiang Ying's backbone, and even more so, he underestimated Ling Xiao's place in Xiang Ying's heart.
Taking a deep breath, Yelü Jin's face was icy: "Xiang Ying, you're leading the Silent Court to its doom. Are you sure you want to sacrifice the entire Silent Court for the sake of Ling Xiao?"
Xiang Ying sneered: "You don't need to waste your time. Whether the Silent Court will be led to its doom is not up to you. All I know is that your Demon Soul Clan is not trustworthy. If I agree to your request today, the Silent Court will be destroyed by you tomorrow."
"Furthermore, stop bringing up Ling Xiao. Helping Ling Xiao was my own idea, and it has nothing to do with the Silent Extinction Court!"
"Alright. Since you're so principled, I won't hold back anymore."
Yelü Jin felt there was no point in continuing the discussion, since he couldn't persuade Xiang Ying anyway, so the only option was to fight.
"Come out."
Yelü Jin spoke calmly, and as his voice rang out, four figures slowly emerged from the void behind him.
Four men in black robes.
Their attire was completely different from the previous men in black; their black robes were embroidered with silver soul imprint patterns, giving them a powerful aura.
"Peak of the Void Annihilation Realm!"
Xiang Ying's pupils suddenly contracted.
She really hadn't expected that Yelü Jin would bring four peak Void Extinction Realm experts. It seemed that the Demon Soul Clan's foundation was truly terrifying.
Each of these four people was no weaker than Xiang Ying, so Xiang Ying was truly helpless at this moment.
She wouldn't care or be afraid to face Yelü Jin, but facing four such powerful figures at once would be troublesome.
With Yelü Jin by her side, she no longer had a sure chance of victory.
In addition, there were four black-robed figures at the peak of the Void Annihilation Realm...
How the hell am I supposed to fight her? She's not the Lord of the Chaotic Martial Realm.
Yelü Jin looked at the changes in Xiang Ying's expression and smiled slightly: "Xiang Ying, do you still think you can protect him now?"
Xiang Ying sneered, "Indeed, the reinforcements you brought surprised me. But who's afraid of who? At worst, I'll just die. I don't believe I can't take you guys with me before I die."
Yelü Jin's gaze passed over Xiang Ying and landed on Ling Xiao, who was still meditating cross-legged behind him. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Xiang Ying, I know what you're thinking," Yelü Jin said calmly. "You're thinking... if Jiang Yijian makes a move, there might still be a chance."
Xiang Ying's body stiffened slightly.
Jiang Yijian... the strongest in the Silent Court, and also one of the eight strongest in the Chaotic Martial World.
If he were here, let alone Yelü Jin and the four men in black robes, even if there were twice as many, Jiang Yijian could kill them with a single sword strike.
Yelü Jin's smile became playful.
"Xiang Ying, I have a question for you."
He paused, then his voice suddenly became low and sharp:
"Do you dare let Jiang Yijian take action?"
Xiang Ying fell silent.
Her silence was louder than any answer.
Yelü Jin's smile grew increasingly smug.
"Xiang Ying, you should know better than me that once Jiang Yijian makes a move, the Silent Court will be finished very soon. Jiang is your trump card, but he is seriously injured. Every time he makes a move, his injuries will worsen. If he can't deal with us, you know the consequences very well!"
Xiang Ying's expression was not good.
Because Yelü Jin's words were true, the reason why Jiang Yijian was not allowed to take action, and why she had been holding things up, was because Jiang Yijian could not act casually.
Moreover, Jiang Yijian has disappeared somewhere, so it's unlikely he'll intervene.
This matter can only be resolved by her. If Jiang Yijian really comes, it means that the Silent Court is in its most dangerous moment and may even be destroyed at any time.
"Stop your nonsense, just kill us. Do you really think the Silent Extinction Court has nothing to offer? Your Demon Soul Clan has its own secrets, but our Silent Extinction Court was sent by the Holy Temple to oversee the Silent Extinction Realm. Guess if we have any trump cards up our sleeves?"
No matter what he thought in his heart, Xiang Ying would never admit defeat, otherwise wouldn't he be fulfilling Yelü Jin's wishes?
Yelü Jin frowned. He'd already said all this, yet Xiang Ying remained so stubborn: "Xiang Ying, I'll give you one more chance. Abandon Lingxiao. Leave with your people. I guarantee that within ten years, the Demon Soul Clan will not harm a single blade of grass in the Silent Extinction Court. This is the best I can offer."
Xiang Ying remained silent, standing there quietly, seemingly pondering the question and considering how to choose.
But Yelü Jin didn't have that patience: "Don't try to stall for time. I'll only give you five minutes to consider. After five minutes, just do it. I'm too lazy to waste any more time with you. Don't think I'm afraid to make a move!"
The reason he didn't make a move was because he lacked confidence. After all, although Xiang Ying was not as good as them, he could still manage to drag them down with him if he wanted to.
But he couldn't give Xiang Ying too much time; if Ling Xiao finished his cultivation, it would be troublesome.
Over there, Ling Xiao was still meditating cross-legged, black light slowly flowing around him, and his aura was steadily rising at an incredible speed.
He was gradually refining the power he had absorbed, transforming it into his own strength.
He needs time.
But right now, I just don't have much time.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Xiang Ying sighed: "Yelü Jin, although your offer is very tempting, unfortunately, I have my own ideas, and Ling Xiao will never give up!"
"If you want to kill Ling Xiao, you'll have to step over my dead body first. This condition won't change no matter how many people you have."
Yelü Jin's smile froze.
He simply couldn't understand Xiang Ying's actions. Ling Xiao used to be Xiang Ying's enemy, but now Xiang Ying was willing to fight to the death for Ling Xiao.
He certainly couldn't understand, because he didn't understand Ling Xiao as well as Xiang Ying did. Xiang Ying knew very well how terrifying Ling Xiao would become when he grew up.
Xiang Ying also knew how much Ling Xiao would help her in the future.
"Xiang Ying..." Yelü Jin wanted to persuade him again, but Xiang Ying interrupted him directly.
"No need to say anything more. Fight if you want, kill if you want. I, Xiang Ying, have lived for so many years and I still haven't learned the meaning of 'abandoning one's own people'."
Xiang Ying pointed her spear at Yelü Jin with great righteousness. Although she had her own ulterior motives, at this moment, she was indeed going to help Ling Xiao, and that had not changed.
