Walking into the city, although the number of enemies killed by Xia Xiao has not yet been determined, the people of Daxia have already started cheering and seem extremely excited. Even if the number of enemies killed is not the shocking 200,000, Xia Xiao's calmness and composure when he returned are enough to make them proud. It is a blessing for Daxia to have such a talent. Southern Merchants are destined not to destroy Daxia!

The people of Nanguo and Shelie asked around, wanting to know how many people Xia Xiao had killed. The other side of the plain was too far away, so it was difficult for them to know the enemy's casualties. Even practitioners could not see that far away, and when they used their vital energy to explore, they could feel some mysterious force blocking them, as if covering them with a veil, making it impossible to see through.

When they heard about the astronomical number of 200,000 from other people, both the soldiers and the generals of the two countries were extremely surprised. Could this be done by one person? They could not imagine how one person could surround and kill 200,000 people. The previous battle that was like a catastrophe was indeed wonderful, but how could such vitality destroy 200,000 people?

What is the concept of 200,000 people? A punch from one person can break a mountain. A sip of water from one person can stop a river from flowing. But such an army of thousands of practitioners was destroyed by Xia Xiao alone. This kind of horror is hard to describe, but he really did it.

Under the gazes of everyone, Xia Xiao did not admit nor deny it. When he looked at Si Yi, he just showed an expression that he wanted to take a rest.

He was very tired, very exhausted, his body was empty, and the only thing that supported him was his spirit that would not fall at any moment. Now, let alone Xia Xiao wanting to rest, even if he wanted a few cities, Si Yi had no reason to refuse. Therefore, Xia Xiao and Azhu just walked towards the courtyard indifferently when everyone was extremely excited, leaving behind two extremely lonely figures, but their cheers still lingered in their ears for a long time.

Ah Zhu was curious. Shouldn't she be happy at this time? She secretly glanced at Xia Xiao and felt that he didn't seem to be pretending to be serious. She didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked:

"What's wrong with you? You seem unhappy."

"We're almost back to the academy."

"Don't you have enough time? You can go back in a week. It's still a while before half a year. And you've killed so many enemies. You should feel relieved when you go back. Otherwise, do you want to kill the entire Southern Merchant Army?"

"I'll be back after I'm in good shape in the next few days. I can't stay outside for too long."

Ah Zhu said "oh" twice, and felt that Xia Xiao was a little unhappy, so he was very careful when he looked at him, for fear of offending him. But the latter took the initiative to express his concerns, which surprised Ah Zhu.

"When I was killing the enemy before, I almost fell into the devil's way."

Ah Zhu accompanied Xia Xiao to the Goulong Bang clan and met a monk master who specialized in exorcising demons. The demons they exorcised were beasts that had fallen into the path of evil. As for people who had fallen into the path of evil, they rarely appeared because they knew they would be exorcised. If they appeared, they would be exorcised into ashes in the first place, and it would be difficult for them to escape from the righteous people of the Great Wilderness.

The fat monk had warned Xia Xiao before that he must be careful with his steps. The devil's way was born from killing. If Xia Xiao really fell into it, he would be eliminated by the academy immediately. At that time, Xia Xiao and Azhu didn't take it seriously. They didn't think they would really worry about it now. The devil's way represents greed, and desire can absorb everything. That kind of practice is never acceptable.

Ah Zhu was extremely worried and asked cautiously:

"What should we do?"

"Don't worry, I'll adjust it, it's not that serious."

Ah Zhu was a little bit unconvinced, and almost fell in half of his body. Xia Xiao should have crawled out of that black hole, but it was difficult to eradicate the things brought out of that black hole and forget that feeling. What Ah Zhu felt was naturally not that simple.

Xia Xiao soaked in a large wooden barrel and began to make seals. Ah Zhu waited outside and was reluctant to leave so that she could be there when Xia Xiao needed her.

There was nothing unusual whether absorbing vital energy or entering the five elements space. When seeing the four spirit beasts, Xia Xiao asked:

"Was there something strange during the previous battle?"

"We have to be careful."

Xia Xiao nodded at Ju Mang's words. He knew that everyone, like him, had also felt the slight fluctuations of the magic path. It had waved to him, so it would not be difficult to see it again, but Xia Xiao had to stay away from it. Regardless of Xia Xiao's current strength or status, he did not need it. Even if he had it, it would only do him harm and no good.

This is a road of no return. It was a blessing that Xia Xiao did not step into it, but now he had to seal it off and not leave himself any chance of entering. If he took one step forward, he would die. Xia Xiao knew the power of the academy better than anyone else. Whether it was the small town on the mountainside or the top of the mountain he had never been to, any one person was not a level he could resist.

Xia Xiao killed 200,000 people because he possessed the complete four elements of wood, fire, water, and gold, but in the academy, if any of the twelve people closest to the top of the mountain attacked, he would be pinned down by the mountain of vitality and unable to move. Just thinking of the power of the academy and its means of capturing stars, he was afraid. He could not contradict it, let alone go against it. This was the iron rule of the extremely tolerant academy!

Xia Xiao hoped to find the clues he wanted from the four spirit beasts. The road of the devil did appear before his eyes, but he didn't know how it appeared and how it disappeared. But after working for a long time, he still didn't find any clues. The devil came without any signs, and was driven away by his own sobriety. But the only thing that was certain was that he had to be careful when killing enemies in the future, and he couldn't see that road again, let alone think about it.

"Go back and stabilize your own holy altars. People of the righteous and bright path must not be tainted by the evil ways!"

The Golden Spirit Beast takes this matter the most. His responsibility is to cut off all the darkness in the wilderness and not to enter the darkness. After he left, Xiaoyu also jumped into the sea quickly. She was a little afraid of herself on the battlefield. The bloody smell on her body could not be washed off no matter how hard she tried. It was like some sticky substance stuck on it, but she was very persistent and had to wash it off, even if it shook the entire sea.

The pure water from the deep sea kept rolling over Xiaoyu's smooth skin, allowing her to wash away the stains on her body over and over again while consolidating the altar. The same was true for the three small fish, but they were not the main cause of the magic, and the number of people they killed was not much.

"This time we went too far."

As Ju Mang said this, he and Xia Xiao watched Huodou slowly walk towards the volcano. The latter could sense his low mood. He was the most belligerent and was undoubtedly the key to this thrilling incident. However, how could he be blamed for all the evil deeds?

"I'll go and comfort you later, but is it really okay to reinforce the altar?"

"The demonic invasion was not successful. As long as the Holy Altar and the Four Element Space resist together, nothing will happen. But we can't stay on the battlefield any longer. When do you decide to go back?"

Xia Xiao had not thought about this question yet, so he expressed his concerns in front of Ju Mang.

"To be honest, I would like to stay for another week. My strength has just recovered today, so I still need to do something."

"You will be driven to death by yourself sooner or later."

Although Ju Mang said it in a joking tone, he was very serious. It's already like this, but he still wants to do something. If Xia Xiao hadn't done anything recently, Ju Mang wouldn't have said anything, but in the Five Elements Space, he had been watching Xia Xiao's every move. He went to the battlefield every day, and was injured every time. If it weren't for Xia Xiao's recovery today, his injuries would not have healed. But even with such a non-stop battle, he was still not satisfied, which made Ju Mang a little confused, so he asked:

"What else do you want to do?"

"Expand the advantage a little more."

Xia Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly. He now seemed like a person who would never be self-satisfied. He wished to kill all the Nan Shang people, but he also expressed his concerns.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I won't be able to get out again this time."

"You always take on all the responsibilities. Isn't that tiring? Isn't it better to just do what you are supposed to do?"

“There is too much that should be done, but too little that is actually done.”

Xia Xiao sighed and walked towards the volcano. In fact, he was afraid that he had done too little and that his family would be hurt, so he wanted to kill more enemies while he was still on the battlefield, which would also reduce the burden on his family. There was nothing wrong with this idea, but the mistake was that he was Xia Xiao.

Compared to Ju Mang, Huo Dou was more difficult to get along with. But Xia Xiao sat on the edge of the altar, put his feet into the boiling molten lava like soaking his feet, and talked with Huo Dou for a long time. The latter felt a little guilty, but was unwilling to express his apology. It was Xia Xiao who asked him to kill the enemy, and he was unwilling to take the blame now.

Huodou has always been like this, Xia Xiao was not surprised, let alone blame him. The main responsibility for this matter is still himself, Xia Xiao will be careful, as long as he controls himself, Ju Mang Huodou and the others will be fine. Because of the subject relationship, it is difficult for them to influence him in turn.

After learning about Xia Xiao's purpose, Huo Dou felt better. This dog finally didn't waste his energy on the battlefield. But after Xia Xiao left, Huo Dou was sleeping on the altar as usual, while mobilizing everything around him to stabilize the fire space and not give the magic energy any chance to take advantage of the opportunity. But a wisp of black air suddenly floated in front of him, which made Huo Dou, who happened to have his eyes open, alert immediately.

"What the hell? Get out here!"

The scoundrel was naturally hot-tempered. At this moment, it put its four claws on the ground, grasped the altar, and mobilized the surrounding molten lava, trying to churn and annihilate this place, but nothing appeared. This was his fire element space. Logically, the scoundrel should be able to sense everything in it, but after scanning it, it found nothing. However, the black air was between his eyebrows, so he naturally could not see it.

A wisp of black gas had not changed anything, but it had been inside the body of the evil spirit before, and now it was forced out because of the constant urging of the fire element space, but it took root in his brow like biting the flesh of the evil spirit, unwilling to melt with the high temperature. But in the end, under the high temperature of the distorted space, this wisp of black gas still turned into nothingness.

For some reason, Huotou felt much better. Lying on the altar, he felt less restless.
