Karl didn't quite believe this at first, but he was really worried about Xitong's safety.

So he came.

He sensed that terrifying power and aura, but this power, so imminent with death and destruction, was something even a Martial Saint wouldn't dare challenge. In that instant, he made up his mind to trap him according to Yan Qing's plan and escape with Jia Xitong.

Karl manipulated the magical beast to take her to the place Yan Qing had arranged for refuge, and casually asked, "Who is that demonic cultivator?"

"I don't know. He's a very powerful and monstrous demonic cultivator. He's in cahoots with Dovian in the northern part of the demonic cultivator territory, and he's now taken control of Dovian."

Jia Xitong told Carl the clues she knew, "He is also very good at disguise. He disguised himself as my host's mother and tricked me away. He probably wanted to take me hostage. Fortunately, I escaped."

Well, how should I put it?

The information is somewhat useful, but it doesn't seem very accurate.

That demonic cultivator was extremely powerful; there was no need for him to kidnap Xi Tong as a hostage, much less to disguise himself. If he did do so, he must have had other motives.

Jia Xitong was unaware of his thoughts and became excited as she saw the martial arts training grounds drawing ever closer. "Shall we go back to Dingtian Academy?"

"no."

Carl flew with her toward a very lively little country. "This is the place Yan Qing arranged for you. Stay here and wait for him."

"oh oh."

Jia Xitong nodded.

It's normal that they can't return to Dingtian Academy, after all, they are fugitives now.

But Shang Yanting...

Why did he contact you instead of me directly?

"How did you manage to contact us? With those communication talismans? None of mine work anymore."

Shang Yanting hadn't contacted her for a long time, and she no longer had a way to contact him directly.

"no."

Karl looked at her and explained, "Yan Qing contacted me using a puppet. I don't know where he is now. He just told you to wait a little longer, and he'll come to pick you up soon."

"It's okay, I can wait a little longer and let him develop properly."

"development?"

Uncle Karl couldn't understand those two words.

"You have to train hard so that you can beat up that bad guy and the Temple of Martial Gods."

Speaking of this, she frowned slightly, "Uncle Karl, I have a strange feeling that the Temple of Martial Gods and that demonic cultivator are involved. Could it be that they are crying wolf, and the people of the Temple of Martial Gods have actually betrayed us?"

"The Temple of the God of War has always only focused on the God of War and served the God of War, and has never cared about things outside the temple."

Karl said upon hearing this.

In fact, they had been complaining about this for a long time.

A group of unrealistic believers did nothing when the demonic cultivator appeared, but instead fabricated accusations to persecute a young man who had done nothing.

They're becoming increasingly outrageous.

They had arrived at their destination. Karl gathered his thoughts and led her toward their lodgings.

This is a house.

There were no rare or exotic animals, no magical artifacts or treasures inside, but the decor was exquisite and the environment beautiful. As soon as Karl landed, servants rushed up to him, calling him "Master," which made Karl feel rather uncomfortable. He looked at Jia Xitong, who was also surrounded by people, and said, "Take a good rest first. Don't worry, I'll be with you for the next few days."

On the other side

In the ocean

The magical artifact that had once rendered the dragon slayer helpless did not trap Shang Yanting in the original story for long. The artifact began to expand in circles until it could no longer hold on and exploded on its own.

As Shang Yanting watched them leave, his anger turned to coldness in his eyes, followed by a faint chuckle.

"Good, very good."
