"Monk, you've come just in time. Tell these nerds in the academy whether there is still a way back for Xia Xiao."

With his hands behind his back, Mr. Pan obviously had no intention of taking action again. After all, Xuyun was also a person who had fallen into the devil's way. He should know that the most difficult road in the world is not the steep and dangerous mountain road, but the devil's way. He was an exception among the fallen, and did not continue to sink, but kept his Buddha heart.

After all, there are only a few such people, and Xia Xiao's current state gives people a sense of hopelessness, making it difficult for people to trust him. However, when Hu Bugui and Di Muli pulled Xia Xiao back and bound him with Yuze sword energy, Xuyun shook his head and sighed:

"Xia Xiao is indeed a genius in cultivation, but I reminded him a few years ago that he must be careful when walking near the abyss and not to get lost in it. But in his current state, his hope of getting closer to the right path... is very slim."

Xuyun and Xia Xiao had been together for a while, and he was very optimistic about the latter. But he never expected that the monstrous demonic energy he felt was him! So, even though he didn't want to say such a judgment, he still came to a conclusion.

The unexpectedness caused shock, but Xuyun quickly accepted this reality and seemed to think it was normal. For those who walk in the brightest place, a little darkness can drag them into the abyss. In fact, Xia Xiao was not as fragile as Xuyun thought, but who could have guessed what he had experienced?

In the jade-colored cage, Xia Xiao opened his mouth and bared his teeth and roared like a wild beast. He had not yet fully demonstrated his power, had not yet killed the target and absorbed the extremely large group of life energy. But the sharp sword energy around him hindered his body, troubled his mind, and made him roar again and again.

He was instinctively venting his anger, releasing his anger like a wild animal. Wild animals don't hide their thoughts, but in the eyes of Xuyun and everyone else, his various behaviors were all reasons for his death. Xia Xiao had become the eye of the storm, and the strong wind was instinctive, without any reason or cause.

Ah Zhu was afraid that Xia Xiao would scream. She felt that every time Xia Xiao did this, he would be one step further away from her. But she could not stop Xia Xiao. Under Hu Bugui's watch, Di Muli sealed the space so that the sound could not be heard. But Xia Xiao still looked like a caged demon, not a human being!

The few minutes of silence became particularly long, and Old Man Pan still spoke, without any mercy or humility. He disregarded his face and the slightest hope. He raised his voice, making the whole world know his voice, which seemed like a kind of authority and also expressed his firm mind and desire to exorcise the devil.

"The monk has spoken, so it's time for you to hand over Xia Xiao's life, right?"

"Xuyun, what is the glimmer of hope you are talking about?"

Hu Bugui and Xuyun became friends due to a misunderstanding, and although they were not close friends, they were old acquaintances. The situation was special now, and Xia Xiao was in an even more awkward situation. Hu Bugui hoped to save Xia Xiao with a few words from Xuyun, but he could hardly put his bloated arms together in front of his fat chest, and in the end he could only make a Buddhist salute with one hand, looking extremely pitiful.

"I have been in the devil's way for decades. My life is about to end and I will be destroyed by my own explosion. In the past few years, the devil's energy has not yet entered my heart, but now my Buddha's heart is no longer able to resist the devil's power. I estimate that when the snow falls on the grassland this year, I will die with a loud bang."

Xuyun did not mention Xia Xiao, and seemed to be talking about himself, but in fact, he was talking about Xia Xiao. Once the evil spirit is formed and begins to invade the body, and the evil nature overcomes the rationality, the person is basically useless. Xuyun has never been like that, but he ended up like this, not to mention that Xia Xiao no longer has any human characteristics at this time, and there is only killing and madness in his eyes.

As for that glimmer of hope, it is just an unknown miracle that cannot be found.

"Is that really all?"

Hu Bugui was unwilling to give up. He should have used his last life to teach his disciple, rather than watching him fall into the devil's way and never recover. But Xuyun nodded, like a heavy hammer comparable to the sky hitting his heart, making him hunched over and unable to stand, and pain came from all parts of his body.

"Old fellow!"

Dimuli supported him, but Hu Bugui, whose legs were too weak, finally knelt on the ground. He was born in the wilderness and returned to the wilderness. Although the venue was different, he ended his life in this way.

The old face was facing the earth, and the cloudy eyes were so cloudy that it was hard to distinguish the pupil from the lens. But he did not close his eyes. He had spent his whole life exploring new paths and falling into deep contemplation. And now, even after leaving this world, he still lowered his head with concern, as if thinking.

Hu Bugui looked at the earth. There was a jade-colored light on the soil. In the light was Xia Xiao, and Xia Xiao touched his disciple's heart. Everything was like a chain, connecting everything tightly, and even if he disappeared, the chain would not break. There was a light on his skinny chest, floating in front of Ah Zhu, like a gift to her.

At Hu Bugui's level, his death would cause the earth to shake. His last breath would become the support for future generations to break through the shackles, and the remaining vitality in his body would remain forever. But at this time, he was like an ordinary old man, but he had lost his breath and the flexible fluctuations of his vitality. The wind and clouds that buried him came and went violently without stopping for a moment. The trembling of the ground also rose and subsided in an instant. Because he left everything he had after his death to Ah Zhu, all in that halo.

Ah Zhu's eyes were full of tears today. She was just worried about Xia Xiao, and now she was crying for Hu Bugui. She was crying because she couldn't let go, because she didn't repay the favor, and because she felt helpless and regretful for not being able to do anything. When people need strength again, they often realize their own lack of strength.

"this……"

Old Man Pan, who was about to speak, saw Hu Bugui holding his chest and unable to stand steadily, and thought that he was just old and had died. The moment of the funeral was enough for them to pay attention to, but the square-faced man was the most shocked. How could he die? How could the old guy in the academy die so easily? Although Hu Bugui's breath had always been unstable, who would have thought that he really passed away?

Dimuli waved his hand and took the body into another space. Then, he raised his head and looked at Old Man Pan and the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man, who was having troubles in his heart, was a little flustered when Xuyun bowed with difficulty, and said:

"I didn't kill anyone!"

"Hu Bugui has fought for the academy thousands of times in his life. He burned too much life when he was young, which led to this result. But today, our academy has lost a life. Can you please give our academy some face and let us deal with Xia Xiao?"

"How to deal with it?"

At this point, Old Man Pan still had to give the academy face, and he could take a step back, but he needed an accurate answer. Otherwise, what if the academy turned against him after today? Or continue to protect Xia Xiao, which was not what the deputy leader of the Qingtian Sect wanted. But Old Man Pan didn't care about those. He had another purpose today. He was staring at Di Muli at this time, but his mind was always on Xia Xiao.

"If Xia Xiao really has no hope of being saved, I will personally dispose of him in the mountains."

Di Muli's words were extremely cruel, and Ah Zhu's eyes were full of despair. What happened today? She was a little overwhelmed. Shangshan was rescued, but Xia Xiao was possessed by a demon, Sister Xiaoran was missing, and the master... passed away.

Everything was extremely chaotic. Ah Zhu didn't know what to do. The seniors in front of her were talking about this and that. She almost forgot what the previous sentence was and who said it. Then they suddenly said something that made her angry, but now was not the time to be petty. Moreover, the halo in front of her and the reality of her master's death made Ah Zhu feel like she was in a dream.

Ah Zhu's imagination was like a dreamy and thin cicada wing. She hoped that everything was just a long nightmare. She was still immersed in the warm peach forest that day. How nice it would be if she could suddenly open her eyes and find that she was still in the academy, and Xia Xiao beside her would come to comfort her because of her frightened look. Ah Zhu wanted to do that very much, but the words of Senior Pan appeared in her ears very realistically.

"Since you say so, I'll give up, but I hope the academy won't let us down."

"In any case, we must give an explanation to the people of the world."

Old Man Pan and the middle-aged man beside him sang the same tune, which made Dimuli a little angry. At this point, are you still so aggressive? If the Yuze Sword in his hand was not only used to kill demons, he would also want to make these troublemakers bleed. If it weren't for them, Xia Xiao would have been brought back long ago and started further research and treatment. How could he be so miserable now!

Perhaps because of Hu Bugui's departure and the dissatisfaction in his heart, when Old Man Pan and the middle-aged man were about to leave, he said coldly:

"You have been pursuing Xia Xiao's problem. Have you forgotten that there is a great demon in the Silent World? Is this how the Qingtian Sect handles things? What is the difference between such a person and a demon?"

Dimuli didn't care whether the Qingtian Sect was afraid of others associating him with the Demonic Path, nor was he afraid of the fierce look of Old Man Pan at this time, and he even took the initiative to meet him. If this old senior Pan continued to talk nonsense, he would really take action. The teachers of the academy always had their own tempers, and Dimuli was no exception!

The lord of the foothills has fallen, so he does not need to be the lord of the mountainside. However, he cannot swallow this humiliation, so he has to say everything he wants to say!

"What do you mean?"

The war seemed to be imminent. Dimuli was a little too radical and said sarcastically:

"You keep saying that you are the ones who exorcise demons, but have you ever taken care of the demons in the Silent World? All along, only people from my academy have been dealing with her. You only care about Xia Xiao because he has offended you? In my impression, Xia Xiao has never had any contact with the Qingtian Sect, so what drives you? Are you accused by the demons, or do you have a long-standing opinion about my academy and the Zoushou Church?"

"What a counter-attack! But with your status, isn't it a bit dereliction of duty to say these unfounded and unsubstantiated words in front of the younger generation?"

Old man Pan was getting serious, but Dimuli took a step forward and suppressed him instantly with his aura.
