But it was true, why should Ah Zhu accompany her to suffer? She could go back to the academy peacefully, lie in her bed and feel lucky that she escaped and saved her life. After waking up, she could take Doudou to have lunch, and the cafeteria lady would definitely give her a chicken drumstick or a few pieces of meat, making it a delicious meal.

Xia Xiao tried to persuade himself, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He couldn't leave Ah Zhu now, but it was the affection that made him very reluctant to leave.

Finally, Azhu did not disappoint him, because her slightly hurried figure only went to Shangshan to pick up the black, worn-out backpack, and then returned the same way.

Ah Zhu kept approaching, her short hair kept flying, and her bright eyes illuminated this dark world. Before she reached Xia Xiao, she stretched out her uninjured little hand to him. There was dirt and blood on it, which made it look a little dirty, but it did not despise Xia Xiao, nor did it think of abandoning him, but wanted to hold Xia Xiao's hand without fear.

Ah Zhu is still young now, Di Muli knows that girls of this age believe in love and the future the most, so she is so determined. But he was wrong, he could see through people's hearts, but he couldn't see through Ah Zhu. She didn't think so much, she just knew that Xia Xiao needed her now, so she followed his pace and couldn't let him face the magic alone. He was too pitiful like that.

The simplest thoughts are often difficult to understand, but Ah Zhu was extremely firm. He stood beside Xia Xiao, breathing slightly, and said:

"Let's go!"

With the relics of Senior Xuyun, Dimuli in Xia Xiao's eyes is no longer a living being. But Azhu's arrival still makes Xia Xiao's eyes more excited and full of happiness. Azhu may be the comfort given by God to Xia Xiao, helping him get out of trouble in times of crisis and find an extremely rare companion in the abyss.

"Senior, goodbye."

Xia Xiao had made up his mind, and holding hands with Ah Zhu, he bowed deeply to express his apology. The trouble he had caused this time was much bigger than before, and it was difficult to make up for it, but now it was time to go.

The two of them are an extremely strange combination. Xia Xiao is shrewd enough, but Azhu is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. Xia Xiao is desolate when he turns around, but Azhu is like a lamp that never goes out, still using his insignificant light and heat to warm Xia Xiao beside him.

They were facing the endless grassland in the south, their backs seemed to plunge into the vast ocean, struggling in the light and trying to pull themselves out of the darkness, which made Dimuli feel a little distressed. It was too cruel to let two children who were less than 40 years old in total face all that, so he watched for a long time and finally asked.

"Xia Xiao, are you sure?"

Xia Xiao turned around and nodded firmly. He didn't know what he would face. He might be controlled by that woman, or he might be hunted by the academy. The blocking of Tanghua Temple and Qingtian Sect was also inevitable. But since he had chosen this step, it would be the difficult survival he was most familiar with.

Perhaps it was because Longgang left too deep a memory in Xia Xiao's heart that he always felt that he was suited to that kind of hard life, but he didn't know if Ah Zhu could stick with him to the end. The current situation was very bad. Xia Xiao's body was heavy, and his spirit was like a spider's thread, which would break if disturbed, but he still asked:

"Why did you follow me? I'm so charming?"

Xia Xiao asked and answered his own questions, but Ah Zhu was not in the mood to joke and punched him on the arm. Although the punch was not very strong, it still made Xia Xiao close his eyes suddenly and his body shook.

"It's already this time, are you still joking?"

"I'm just worried that you won't have enough to eat in the future."

"Just don't eat me. I won't die from starvation."

"What if I can't help it?"

"Then I'll knock your teeth out!"

Xia Xiao wanted to laugh, but he had no strength to do so. He could not feel his own face at all. He and Ah Zhu walked for a long time without saying a word. At this speed, even if they walked until dark, Di Muli could catch up in a second. But they seemed to be waiting for something, and Di Muli vaguely felt the same way.

The grassland was vast and boundless. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu had left enough footprints. As if they felt the time was right, a talisman array finally appeared in front of them. Xia Xiao had been waiting for a long time, and the last 100 meters was not far, so he continued to walk towards it. This time, his steps were still as shaky as before, but even though Xia Xiao was weak, he still asked very seriously:

"Why on earth did you follow me?"

"I want to be with you."

Ah Zhu supported Xia Xiao's heavy body, muttering that he looked like a dead pig, but he still took the last step with him. After this step, they were defectors, and from then on they had no other identity, just a demon.

The teachers and students of the academy, the wandering masters of Tanghua Temple, the demon hunting mercenaries of the Adventurer's Guild, the disciples of the Qingtian Sect, the believers of the Zoushou Church, the disciples of the old five major forces, and the alliance formed by the righteous people of the world...

Di Muli silently thought about the opponents Xia Xiao and Azhu might face, and couldn't help but worry. Although the word "escape" has only a few strokes, it can cause accountability from all sides, and the nature of the matter has changed. If Xia Xiao was taken back by the academy and was still under the protection of a certain force, it would still be fine. But now, he has really become the target of public criticism!

What was even more worrying was that Xia Xiao's identity was too dazzling, and the sense of danger he brought to everyone was much higher than that of an ordinary magician. The greater the panic, the greater the pressure from public opinion on the five major forces, especially the academy, and Xia Xiao would be even less safe.

"Good luck to you."

There was an extremely huge pit behind him and the plain under his feet was full of scars. Such a scene made Dimuli frown slightly, but while he was thinking, a woman appeared beside him.

"The woman just pulled out a talisman array..."

The eldest sister had just gotten rid of the entanglement of darkness, and following Dimuli's gaze, she saw that the talisman array was crushed into pieces in the black air. The two back figures left by the talisman array made her a little surprised, but when she looked at Dimuli, his expression and silence explained everything.

"Even if it's unintentional, you're at risk of being fired."

"I was careless and let the demons take advantage of me, which is why they escaped. I will wait for your punishment, but before that, I will deal with this woman first."

The eldest sister acquiesced and entered the silent world. But what she had to face now was no longer the woman from before, but a dark demon that shook the world with thunder and lightning, with the ground as its feet and as high as the sky.

Below, Sun Zhonglei's vitality was consumed very quickly, but countless runes were still floating in his sleeves. Old Man Pan and the middle-aged man on the side showed their magical powers, but they were all so small that they were not worth mentioning.

After a brief confrontation, the dark demon took the lead in attacking, which surprised everyone. However, what was strange was not her counterattack, but the strength of her moves!

Holding the iron sword high, Old Man Pan cut through the chaotic darkness, but the power within it caused his body to shoot backwards for 50,000 miles without stopping.

"Good fellow."

The old man was shocked, but the fear on his face and in his eyes only lasted for a moment. The deepest part of him that was hard to detect was the surprise. That was the recognition of this power. It was worthy of the power of that adult. With just a little effort, he was able to hold back Zuo Xiufang and others. But even so, he still had his own ideas. He felt that instead of relying on him, it was better to rely on himself!

"I have sent the message, the master will be here soon!"

As soon as the middle-aged man was beaten back, he roared loudly, as if he wanted to win by temperament. But the eldest sister replied unhappily:

"Use all the energy you used to find fault, otherwise she will have already run away by the time your clan leader arrives."

Three forgotten members of the Church of the Assassins broke into the Silent World, but the evil creatures howling in the universe made it difficult for them to take action.

Suddenly, the spring breeze blows, and everything blooms. The eldest sister brings a visual feast, but also a cruel blow. Dimuli follows closely behind, and is not satisfied with fighting until the sky is dark. He needs to decide his life or death to barely meet his heart's content. The eldest sister will never feel at ease unless she kills him completely.

There were sword qi and peach blossoms in the sky, and thunder and lightning roared in the sky. When it descended, a talisman array was opened, and the whistling sound reached a very far distance, causing great chaos in the Goulongbang grassland where there were not many strong people.

Countless strong men who could sense the silent world raised their heads and looked towards the north, feeling ominous as they watched. But they did not dare to approach, and could only walk to the periphery, fearing that they would be implicated.

The real world is also unable to escape the danger. A cold wind blowing from the north plunges spring into winter again. Even the brightest sun has lost its warmth and brightness. There is only coldness and darkness, as gray as an abandoned world.

In the cool breeze, Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu went far away from the world. They had a new goal, which they were carrying out at the moment. They had to migrate a long distance. The journey was long, but they would definitely reach their destination. When they set sail and went farther and farther from the north, the battle here was not over yet.

It was still the same silent world, and the same few people, but it was like being trapped in an eternal time prison, constantly attacked and replayed. There were no reinforcements outside, and the demons and monsters inside could not be defeated, but they were completely unaware that an instant seemed to pass by like eternity, and the long time seemed to be compressed and passed in an instant.

In the end, this extremely long battle exhausted everyone's energy, and the demon that was as tall as the sky also lost all its strength, but the woman among them still did the same as when she came. She broke the space constraints cast by the eldest sister, then drilled into it and disappeared on the spot, very smoothly and freely.

Only the eldest sister could barely remember how long the battle had lasted, but it was all meaningless. What was the point of talking about that now? No matter how long the battle lasted, they could not claim credit, because they had not managed to keep him.

"I'll go after her!"

The leader of the Qingtian Sect had just arrived and was in hot pursuit. He turned into a stream of light in the silent world and disappeared from their sight. This world was full of holes. There was no magnificence to speak of, only misery and chaos. And the huge stone Buddha still looked down at everything here calmly, as if he was guarding this forbidden area forever, not allowing anyone to break in and stray into the devil's way.

"It took so long for the Sect Master to come?"

"Maybe it was an illusion, but the battle lasted for a few moments."

Old Man Pan was always nagging, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with it when he talked to himself, as if he was just acting, or doing it on purpose. But his topic soon turned to a long time ago, and he looked around and asked in surprise:

"Where's Xia Xiao?"

This question made the middle-aged man, Sun Zhonglei and the three powerful men of the Zoushou Church curious. Where is Xia Xiao? Why did he disappear?

"When I wasn't paying attention, he was taken away by the magic array."

Sun Zhonglei frowned, as if he knew the truth of the matter, and put his hands behind his back without saying a word. The only one who kept talking was old man Pan.

This kind of people usually don't live long, but he is very powerful. He kept muttering at this moment, but he was actually very happy in his heart. Xia Xiao was also a weirdo. He was not angry enough even though he was like that. Instead, killing his spirit beast aroused his desire to fight. But it was better this way, as he could completely cut off his relationship with him.

Old Man Pan wanted to take the initiative again, so he asked:

"Is this a dereliction of duty on the part of the Lord of the Mountainside?"

Dimuli did not dodge and answered directly:

"yes."

"How should the academy deal with Xia Xiao? He is a defector now, right? A defector who has fallen into the evil path!"

"I can't make the decision."

Everything that Old Man Pan did was within his expectations. Dimuli turned his proud face away and looked at the eldest sister with great respect. The latter's voice was not heavy, but it carried a commanding tone.

"The vice-president has found the girl transformed by the Great Wilderness' consciousness and will be back soon. The affairs of the academy will be handled by him personally."

"Even if the vice president comes, this matter should be decided immediately, not for others, but for the reputation of the college itself..."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but you are not qualified to teach the vice-president of our academy. Besides, I will discuss what you did today with the master of the sect later to see if it is your fault or the problem of the entire Qingtian Sect."

"Zuo Xiufang, before the matter is concluded, you should pay attention to your tone. You are still young, don't ruin your future because of a few words."

"This is the temper of people in my college. Goodbye!"

The eldest sister glared at old man Pan. She could see clearly in the silent world that this guy was clearly here to cause trouble. But her leaving figure did not make the old man feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he secretly looked forward to it. The academy would always announce the decision, and that decision would soon be announced to the world.

At that time, Xia Xiao's danger would just begin, and their plan could be implemented. Strictly speaking, it was that woman's plan. Old Man Pan had his own plan, which he never told others in detail, but kept in his heart. But when it was exposed to the world, it was the moment that shocked everyone.

The people from the First Church also left quickly. They did not show much hostility towards Old Man Pan, but they were not friendly either, just respectful. They brought Shangshan with them, but the latter always kept a distance from them, as if unwilling to approach, so the three people who had a good impression of him could only communicate with each other, and could not attract him to integrate.

"Do you feel that Senior Pan is strange?"

"A little bit, but whatever he does, he has good reasons for it."

"What I'm concerned about is what Zuo Xiufang said. Is the Pope coming back?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't received any news. But it's almost time. Maybe he's on his way back, or maybe he's going to meet Ci Xia Xiao."

"Once his aura is hidden, can the Pope find him?"

“Remember, never doubt the Pope. There are things he doesn’t do in order to conform to nature, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do them.”

Qingxunzi is a walking faith, a living god, and the steward is his most loyal believer. He guessed correctly that the only one who knew Xia Xiao's whereabouts was Qingxunzi, but he had not seen Xia Xiao yet. Now was not the right time, and Xia Xiao had to stay alone for a while. During this time, all parties would take action.
