"Do you intend to sit here and wait to die?" Yun Yun looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, not expecting this man to remain so calm even now.
"Do you know that after tomorrow's judgment, you might become the mastermind behind the demonic possession incident? At that time, you won't just be fighting against one person, but against the entire world! Even if you've hidden your strength, so what if you're an Immortal Emperor?"
"The whole world is our enemy? You overestimate the Flowing Cloud Immortal Dynasty." Fang Xiu's tone remained calm, as if nothing in the world could move him anymore.
Yun Yun was somewhat angry, not only because Fang Xiu's words showed contempt for the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, but also because she felt that Fang Xiu was extremely arrogant. Even though things had come to this point, he still had such an attitude.
"Zhou Qingfeng, I don't know what your plans are, but an individual can never stand against the Immortal Dynasty. I'll ask you one last time, are you going to run away or not?"
Fang Xiu shook his head slightly: "You're too simple-minded. Do you think you can escape? The palace is heavily guarded. You were clearly confined, so why were you able to get out so easily?"
"That's because I have trusted confidants in the palace."
"Really? Can your trusted confidant help you leave under the watchful eye of a demigod?"
Faced with Fang Xiu's calm gaze, Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't stupid, but the sudden change had hit her hard, and she hadn't reacted for a moment. Now, after Fang Xiu's reminder, she immediately realized something was wrong.
"It seems you've figured it out. Your father deliberately let you out so that you would notify me and let me escape. Originally, there would still be a trial tomorrow to determine the guilt, but now that you've escaped, the process of determining guilt can be skipped."
Yun Yun's face grew paler and paler, and she could no longer support herself, so she plopped down in a chair.
Fang Xiu glanced at her calmly, showing no pity whatsoever, and then turned and went back to his room to cultivate.
Just as he was cultivating, he suddenly sensed a strange movement coming from the Nightmare Power.
He opened his eyes and sensed carefully, only to discover that Yang Ming and the others were contacting him using the Nightmare Mark.
He used his consciousness to connect with the power of nightmares, and the connection between the two was immediately established. Soon, he heard the voices of Yang Ming and others.
"It's connected! It's connected!"
"What do you mean it's connected? Do you think this is a phone call?"
"Hey, shut up, let me talk to Brother Xiu." Xiao Chuxia shouted to stop everyone, then switched to a gentle and coquettish voice, sweetly saying, "Brother Xiu, I miss you so much."
"Shut up," Fang Xiu replied calmly.
Xiao Chuxia's excited voice came from the other end: "It's definitely Brother Xiu! This time it's for real!"
Immediately afterwards, her small mouth began to speak her heart in rapid succession, like a barrage of bullets.
"Brother Hugh, do you know what? We've arrived in Kyushu too. Where are you now? We're coming to find you."
"Yunzhou".
“Yunzhou? Brother Xiu said he’s in Yunzhou.”
"How could you be in Yunzhou? Yunzhou is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Shenzhou! Yang Ming! It must be you! You still say you weren't thinking about smoking back then?"
"Ahhh... Don't hit me! I'm innocent! I'm not a GPS navigator, how could I be so accurate?"
"You're talking nonsense! You're not even accurate? You found a pipe on your very first day in China, but now Brother Hugh is in Yunzhou. Watch out!"
"Hey, stop arguing. We finally managed to get through to Brother Xiu. If we talk to him for a while, the call fee... no, I mean, if the reinforcement formation can't hold up, it'll be too late."
Then, the voice changed to Xiao Chuxia's, still in a high-pitched tone: "Brother Xiu, how have you been all these years? You must have had a hard time all by yourself."
"Shut up, you love-struck fool!"
"Let me explain."
The voice changed to Yang Ming's.
"Brother Xiu, where are you in Yunzhou? We're coming to find you."
"No need," Fang Xiu refused. "You should stay in Shenzhou. Shenzhou is the center of the Nine Provinces. I will go there sooner or later."
"But...but recently, rumors about you have spread throughout China. They all say you are a true god, and many people with ulterior motives are even targeting you. We are worried..."
"Don't worry, because I have already seen the future."
After many years, everyone finally heard those familiar words again, those incredibly reassuring words, as if there was nothing in the world that could not be accomplished and no one that could not be defeated.
"Okay, Brother Hugh, we'll be waiting for you in China."
"Hmm." Fang Xiu nodded, then asked, "How did you manage to contact me?"
Yang Ming's triumphant laughter came from the other end: "Hahaha... That's all thanks to me. We didn't just waste those two years in Shenzhou. A few days ago, I met an old man with a white beard who grabbed my hand and insisted that I was some kind of once-in-a-millennium super genius. He cried and begged to take me as his apprentice. I felt sorry for the old man, so I agreed."
Who would have thought that the old man was not only a demigod, but also the sect leader of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, one of the Nine Sects of the Divine Continent. So, I used the resources of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and some kind of Xuanling... I forgot what it was, anyway, it was a very long-named array, and contacted you through the Nightmare Mark.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu was not surprised at all; it was just a routine operation of destiny.
"Well, you can cultivate in Shenzhou. I will come to find you in the future."
"Okay, Brother Hugh, we definitely will..."
Yang Ming's voice trailed off before he could finish speaking.
In the Divine Continent, within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, in a cave dwelling shrouded in immortal energy, Yang Ming and the others stood there in frustration.
"Ugh, what kind of broken formation is this? It's so unreliable. Even international roaming shouldn't disconnect in just one minute."
"It's all your fault, Yang Ming! I barely even exchanged two words with Brother Xiu!" Xiao Chuxia pouted her red lips in dissatisfaction.
After a while of commotion, Yang Ming suddenly said seriously, "You all heard what Brother Xiu said. He told us to cultivate well in Shenzhou. Our current strength is still too weak. Although we were able to stand on our own in the real world, I only realized after coming to Shenzhou that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. The seventh-level experts who did not exist in the real world are not considered top experts here."
Hugh has only been here for a few years, yet he has already earned the title of a true god and even managed to escape the pursuit of demigods. I estimate that Hugh is at least at the peak of the seventh rank now, and two more years have passed since then. He might even be a demigod by now.
If we don't get stronger, we'll never keep up with Hugh, never be able to help him, and will only be able to hide behind him and watch him fight alone.
Yang Ming's words silenced the laughter of the crowd, and a thoughtful look crossed each of their faces. They realized that they really should work hard to improve their strength.
At this moment, Fang Moli was the first to speak: "I plan to leave the Xuantian Dao Sect."
Yang Ming was slightly startled: "Where are you going?"
