There were a few white hairs mixed in with Mr. Pan's black hair, and his hard beard, which was not too long, spread out in all directions. Together with his eyes that were wide open, he looked like he was going to eat someone. But his mood now was no different from that. He stared at Xia Xiao, then looked at Di Muli and Hu Bugui who were blocking his way, and said angrily:

"I haven't seen you for a while, and you're already protecting someone from the evil ways?"

"Old senior, this boy is Xia Xiao, the son of prophecy mentioned by the ancestor of the Spiritual Contract, who came from afar. He fell into the devil's way this time because of the thief's seduction. Please give us some time so that we can pull him out of the abyss."

While Di Muli was talking, Hu Bugui secretly pursed his lips and did not spit out the blood in his mouth. Although Senior Pan was not young, his strength was indeed extraordinary. The sword almost pierced his defense, which showed his power. But what can be seen more is his murderous intention. He hated the people of the magic path, especially those in the academy.

This respected old man had a habit of nagging, and at this moment, his tone was very pressing, and in Ah Zhu's eyes, he kept on talking:

"So what if he is the son of prophecy? So what if he came from afar? He fulfilled the prophecy, but he is doing something wrong now, so he should be punished. Why, seeing how determined you are, you are reluctant to let me take action? Do you really want me to tear my face off and tell you the past things again?"

The strong men from the church also arrived. They never acted alone, so they were now in a team of three. They were all unfamiliar faces, but looking at this situation, they couldn't help but marvel at Xia Xiao.

This kid is a trouble maker. When they took Shu Shuang away, they knew that this guy was not easy to deal with and would definitely cause trouble. But they didn't expect that he had already entered the devil's way. At this time, the black air was overwhelming, and they didn't know whether they should take action.

In terms of relationship, Xia Xiao was a disciple of the Pope, so they should help him. Although Shu Shuang was dead, the relationship between master and disciple was deep. When Xia Xiao was in trouble, they helped him because he had a master, which was also a kind of confidence! But in front of the Qingtian Sect, the demons seemed particularly hateful, even more difficult than facing the people of Tanghua Temple. They, the old-timers who had been in the world for a long time, were not unaware of what happened back then.

"Well, I'll just go over the past for you!"

The performance of Dimuli and Hu Bugui really disappointed Old Man Pan. His nagging nature made him talk in detail, and he was about to point his finger at Dimuli and Hu Bugui and scold them. More importantly, the two of them could not refute it, because what Old Man Pan said was well-founded and not false at all.

"Back then, your academy's teacher Liu Mingxin was extremely competitive. He fell into the devil's way while on a mission outside and absorbed the life energy of thirty-eight great practitioners. His strength increased greatly and his mind became confused. My son was lucky enough to escape, but it was because of your academy's leniency that he was able to escape from the cage and slaughter my three sons! My Pan family has devoted all their lives to eliminating the devil's way, but my three sons all died in the wilderness. Does anyone remember their names?"

"You didn't have such power back then, but the vice president personally issued an order, saying that any academy disciple who entered the devil's way would be killed without mercy! But what happened later? Instructor Liu Qingluan and student Qing Ge entered the devil's way one after another. The latter was left alone and you dealt with it on your own, which was not bad. But the former broke into my Qingtian Sect because of some grudges, and went berserk and killed my father who was protecting the younger generation. Three generations of my family were killed by the academy. What excuse do you have to keep this child now?"

Old Man Pan's beard trembled repeatedly because of his rage, and his bull-eyed eyes made Di Muli and Hu Bugui lower their heads in shame. Although it was a long time ago, and Liu Mingxin and the others didn't even know each other, Liu Qingluan and Hu Bugui were in the same class, and Gong Qingge was the closest thing to them.

Since the founding of the academy, these three things have been a huge stain. Although they are related to individuals, if there is a problem with an individual in a whole, the whole cannot escape responsibility. Although the academy has tried its best to resist and educate the magic path, the incident with Xia Xiao still happened.

Hu Bugui wanted to explain himself, but Old Man Pan did not give him a chance and scolded him:

"No need to say more! Otherwise, the Qingtian Sect and the Academy will part ways today!"

"We are all righteous sects that are fighting against the forces of darkness. Please don't mention this matter too much. As for Xia Xiao, he is indeed a little special. We can't treat him as an ordinary student. I hope you will give us a chance, and we will definitely give you a suitable response."

"What if I don't let him go?"

Old Man Pan pointed his sword, making the atmosphere more solemn. If he wasn't strong enough, Di Muli and Hu Bugui would have escaped without hesitation, but he had sealed off the space here before appearing in this world, which was really difficult to deal with. But even if they were torn apart, they would have secured Xia Xiao today!

"Old senior, you should know that the academy cares more than just reputation. If we can't even protect our own disciples, how can we teach and educate people? How can we impart knowledge and answer questions? Wouldn't all the great principles we talk about become a joke again?"

"Humph! What an excuse! Is this your excuse for shielding the demons? Long ago, when Ningshen Academy was really accepting disciples, there was a clear rule that anyone who was possessed by the devil would be killed! Since then, it has been emphasized many times. Do you think your students are precious, and our younger generations are as lowly as grass and ants? Do you know how many people from the five major forces fall into the demon path every year? How many people commit suicide? Or ask the seniors to help? You always think you are special, but you don’t know that the world is the same. If all forces are like you, the demon path will sooner or later be controlled by the dark man!"

The old man is still the wisest, Di Muli was afraid that he would bring up the righteousness of the world and the responsibility of the academy. But the old man said all these words, which made him difficult to accept. After all, he represented the academy at this time, and if he said something wrong, it would cause more trouble.

Most people who have reached their level are taciturn, because they cannot speak carelessly and have responsibilities. But if a few words can scare the battle-hardened Di Muli and Hu Bugui, how can they take on the responsibility and hold up the beam?

Dimuli was about to speak, but was stopped by Hu Bugui. The middle-aged man in black robe from the Qingtian Sect had returned and he needed to be on guard. This mysterious Qingtian Sect was full of extremely crazy people. It was impossible for them to attack. He had to be on guard. Dimuli understood and heard Hu Bugui say in an old voice:

"Old senior, we know that the devil is abominable, but Xia Xiao's identity is not something you and I can simply sentence to death."

"I know he is a follower of the Pope, so I won't ask anything else. I'll just ask you how many people's life energy he has absorbed?"

"Senior, you can see it, so why ask?"

"I can see it, but he has absorbed the life energy of thousands of people! Do you know what this means? No matter how serious the injury is, he will recover, and his recovery speed in a short period of time is beyond ordinary people. If you don't kill him now, it will be very difficult to kill him in the future, because his mind will be confused and his strength will soar. Now he is not yet in that period of time, it is a good time to act!"

Old Man Pan was about to take action. Xia Xiao's current strength was only at the level of a fruit of the Venerable Realm, but in the future, he might be able to move all the way to the level of a branch of the Venerable Realm. Not to mention Xia Xiao, who had mastered the four complete elements, even ordinary practitioners could easily fight against higher-level enemies through the magic way's suppression of the spirit energy. By then, it would not be so easy to kill him!

Before he could strike the sword, the black dragon's giant claws grabbed him. Although the sword was sharp and cut through the old man's black scales, spilling blood all over the ground, Hu Bugui still said:

"Please give me a chance, senior!"

"I will kill this boy!"

Old Man Pan attacked very quickly, and Hu Bugui could hardly resist. Di Muli came! Although they had not used their true strength, they were fighting fiercely at this time. The three people from the first church wanted to join in, but they were at a level that was difficult for people like them to deal with, at least when Old Man Pan was full of murderous intent, it was difficult to intervene.

Suddenly, Azhu and Xiaoran, who were protecting Xia Xiao on both sides, looked up and saw the figures of Senior Dimuli and the old man everywhere in the world. Half of the world was filled with sharp sword energy, and the other half was filled with the breath of jade. They were fighting each other, but it was difficult to tell the winner for the time being. However, the middle-aged man in the black robe also had his eyes on Xia Xiao.

"Hu Bugui, you betrayed your own race, which means you are not a positive character. Now you are protecting the people of the Demonic Path. Do you want to never return from this path?"

"So much nonsense!"

Hu Bugui couldn't defeat Senior Pan, and he couldn't defeat this guy? Besides, he didn't want to hear any more ridiculous words about betraying his race. Time would tell whether he was right or not, and there was no need for an outsider to comment!

Hu Bugui transformed into a black dragon, roaring and beating the middle-aged man back, while tearing apart the space around him. He was still strong, but his claws broke in the process of tearing the space, and soon he was powerless and his movements became stiff. After all, he was old, defeated by time, and he died after moving twice. He felt a pain all over his body, no longer as brave as he was in the past, and it was even more difficult for him to fight as hard as he did when he was young.

With heavy breathing, Hu Bugui's old eyes were blurry. The middle-aged man in black robe walked along the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Xia Xiao. He stretched out his hand from his sleeve and let a stream of light enter Xia Xiao's body, which quickly restored his consciousness.

The woman in the darkness before made Xia Xiao completely awaken the magic path. The aura in his body was hard to conceal. It was like an awakened active volcano, making everyone notice his existence. It would take a long time for him to be silent again. But in the process of the volcano's continuous eruption, this stream of light quietly extinguished it, making him open his eyes and look at this disappointing moment.

This is a trap, carefully designed by the woman, and now with the cooperation of someone, it becomes extremely sophisticated, but this dramatic scene will be played out miserably with blood.

Under the claws of the middle-aged man, Xiao Ran raised her arms, forming bloody wings, but still protecting Xia Xiao. She felt the breath of death, but she had already prepared for it, even if she died, it would not be a pity.

Xiao Ran was tall, and even if he squatted slightly and lowered his center of gravity, he could still look down at Xia Xiao. He saw Xia Xiao looking at him, with tenderness in his eyes. She was going to do what Shu Shuang did before, without any regrets.

A green light flashed in his pupils, surprising Xia Xiao who had just woken up. He wanted to stop the tragedy and didn't want to see such a thing happen. But before he raised his hand, his dear companion had been pierced through the body.
