Only when something big happens will the academy gather all the students and corresponding teachers like this. The last time at this time, Wang Haoran established an anti-academy alliance. That time, all the disciples set out to fight at the Wild Beast Tail. What is this time? Many people don't know yet, but they know something is wrong when they see Dimu Li's serious expression.

Many students had just returned from outside, and the tasks they were performing were forcibly interrupted. But after looking for a long time, Xia Xiao and Azhu were not in the team. They were indeed privileged people, and it was infuriating to think about it. The first person to notice their absence was Tianming, followed by Wang Ling.

Seeing that everyone was present, Dimuli said something that shocked everyone.

"Xia Xiao fell into the devil's way and escaped into the mortal world. The returning vice-president has issued an order to kill him. From now on, each student will be in charge of a different area and must find him!"

The students had many doubts, and Tianming, who was full of surprise, asked:

"Why did you become possessed? When did you become possessed?"

It was normal that Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu were hard to see on weekdays. They were the only ones who came to find me. It was difficult for me to find them. After all, setting foot on that mountain road was like being invisible, and Ah Zhu's ability to conceal his breath made it impossible to find them. However, Tianming never expected that after completing his mission and bringing back many fruits from the Wild Beast Forest, they would not be able to enjoy them.

Many people, like Tianming, were eager to know the answer, and their anxiety was evident on their faces. But Dimuli took a step back and made a "please" gesture, while the man in a long robe, who was as gentle as the spring breeze, stepped forward.

"Because of my dereliction of duty, I will temporarily take over the position of the Lord of the Mountainside. Sun Zhonglei will take over. He will explain the whole incident to you."

Sun Zhonglei was highly respected by everyone in the academy, but his expression was extremely serious at this time. When talking about Xia Xiao, he tried to be objective, but always leaned towards him. So what he roughly said was that the dark side of the devil used Shangshan to make him possessed by the devil, and angered him, causing him to embark on the road of escape.

This is a tragic story, and everyone sighed at Xia Xiao's unfortunate fate. But there were also a few people, such as Xie Yi, who asked at this time:

"If you see it, would you really kill it?"

The students were also very concerned about this question and they all looked at Sun Zhonglei, but his answer was very firm.

"This is the vice president's decision, we just have to execute it."

"But the Qingtian Sect also bears a great responsibility for this matter. If it weren't for them, Xia Xiao would definitely cooperate and come back!"

"Their presence seems to only mess up the situation."

Su Huan and Si Qingling sang the same tune, speaking up for Xia Xiao. Xie Yi then said:

"No matter how many faults the Demonic Path has, they have the right to live before Xia Xiao harms any living being. This should also demonstrate the correctness of the academy."

"Yes! Is it true that if I am framed, I will definitely die?"

…

The students were discussing and all of them were in favor of Xia Xiao. Wang Ling didn't understand why he rarely interacted with others but could get so much support. But he also wanted to say a few words. Even if he hated Xia Xiao, he had saved his life. But before Wang Ling could speak, Sun Zhonglei whispered:

"Hu Bugui passed away..."

The mournful voice was not loud, but it made the square in front of the Little White Building extremely quiet. They were all sent to the mountainside by Hu Bugui. They always remembered the smile and teachings of the kind old man, but wasn't he asleep? How could he leave in such a hurry? He didn't even have the chance to see him or say goodbye.

Tianming was in a heavy mood and frowned as he asked:

"Is it related to Xia Xiao?"

"Brother fought for Xia Xiao with the elders of the Qingtian Sect for a long time and did not lose, but he was defeated by time."

Sun Zhonglei had just explained the whole thing in a few words, making it hard for everyone to imagine the scene at that time. But with so many strong men, it must have been a world-shaking battle. But even so, Xia Xiao finally escaped. He went against the expectations of the seniors, but there was something unspeakable that the seniors didn't tell him, or did he really become a demon?

"The Vice Dean and I are here to seek justice. The Qingtian Sect must be punished. As for you, you should immediately guard your own area with the teachers around you. Each area is very large, and there will be some evil forces causing trouble. Remember your mission and do not neglect your duties."

Although they were very reluctant, they still responded with "yes". Everyone knew what they should do, whether it was the teachers or the students, but they all knew what they should do, but they didn't say it clearly. They were still waiting, waiting for the moment they left the academy, so that they could ask their teachers something. When things became clear, everything would be clear.

"Leave in a quarter of an hour!"

As people walked past Sun Zhonglei, he lowered his head slightly and looked at a blade of grass growing among the stone bricks on the ground.

The gap between the two bricks is very small, but it still exists. Should we say that the grass has strong vitality, or that the bricks gave it a chance? If the bricks don't give it a chance and completely seal it, no matter how strong the vitality is, it can't penetrate. But if the grass doesn't grow and stays in the dark, it won't grow at all.

From this perspective, there are elements involved, just like the academy and Xia Xiao at this moment.

Even if the academy only left a small gap, Xia Xiao would squeeze up desperately, determined to get out of the darkness and dampness and go to the warmth and light. This is an extremely difficult process. The power of the grass is extremely small in front of the hard stone bricks, but it can rely on its perseverance and tenacity, which cannot be completely denied.

The students and teachers sent by the academy set out in unison and scattered all over the world. Some of them went to the snowy mountains, some to the wilderness, and some to the seaside. Because they didn't know Xia Xiao's exact whereabouts, they were scattered all over the place. But soon they could sense a clue, that is, none of the top masters of the academy had a similar mission, but were committed to arguing with the Qingtian Sect.

Is the academy giving Xia Xiao a chance? It's hard for them to guess, but as the teachers around them said, the academy has its own opinions and plans, and all they have to do is to execute them, and not think they are smart and ruin the overall situation.

Apart from Xia Xiao and Azhu, there were also some students who died in the mission. There were a total of 105 students on the mountainside, dividing the Great Wilderness, and each person's area was hundreds of miles. This area was too vast, and Xia Xiao would definitely be able to escape easily with Azhu.

These colleges naturally took this into consideration, so there were some plans that students and teachers were not aware of. When these plans were clearly turned into a piece of paper and appeared in the major forces, the people of the Walking Head Church could not help but admire them.

"The academy has indeed gathered the best talents in the Great Wilderness, and this matter was indeed handled properly."

"Yes, Xia Xiao is accused of running away. If the academy doesn't take it seriously, we have to take action. This is also a responsibility. But they divided the Great Wasteland into teachers and students, and sent out thirty powerful men and three Wendao powerful men to patrol everywhere. It's really strict. In this way, we can justifiably not interfere. Otherwise, it will disrupt their plan, and the Qingtian Sect will surely not dare to cause trouble again."

"The main thing is that they wrote on the paper: The killing order has been issued. If anyone obstructs, they will be killed together!"

"They are all a bunch of ruthless characters. They are willing to make such a big scene just to protect Xia Xiao."

"Is it really to protect Xia Xiao?"

"I heard that Di Muli watched Xia Xiao go. Although the devil was at work afterwards, the situation was not like that at all."

"Why do you do that?"

"Perhaps it's because Xia Xiao has a new idea, but he has already fallen into the devil's way. Instead of waiting to die, he might as well take a risk and explore in the darkness. But I can't imagine the hardship of such an action!"

"Xia Xiao is really bold, but the academy trusts us enough, so why didn't they tell us anything?"

"Xia Xiao is the disciple of our Lord Pope, what is there to explain? Are you afraid that we will leak the news? And even if what we say is heard by outsiders, so what? It is difficult to tell whether the words of small characters like us are true or false. As for the stewards, what they say will never be heard by outsiders."

“That makes sense.”

In the carriage behind the two of them, Shangshan's frowning brows did not relax for a long time. Before she recovered her strength, she would stay in the Zou Shou Church, which was a good place to avoid the wind and waves. But her character was too arrogant, so if Xia Xiao did not invite her to go into the darkness together, she really did not follow.

Shangshan couldn't follow others so happily. She either walked side by side or in front of him. But now that she thought about it, she still had a little regret. She should have called Xia Xiao to remind him. It was unrealistic to find him now. Who knew where he was? Once the aura disappeared, it would disappear from the world. At that time, the talisman array was quickly crushed, and it was impossible to find the direction where the vitality went.

Shangshan was a little irritated, but at the moment, there was only one handprint that made countless vitality flow into her body to repair the wounds left by the darkness. She believed that she could find Xia Xiao. She and Xia Xiao had a little subtle connection before, just like two people who had passed by each other long ago, but still had a little breath of each other around them.

In fact, Shangshan didn't know why she went to find him, but there was always an impulse in her heart that made her want to repay him. Xia Xiao risked so much to save her, and she must help him when Xia Xiao was in the most difficult time. But what to do and how to help, Shangshan didn't know yet, but she decided to go to Xia Xiao first.

Compared to Shu Shuang who is meticulous in her work, Shang Shan is a bit more reckless, but she is the kind of person who is thick-skinned but very fragile inside.

Because of the steward's brief absence, the Zou Shou Church camped for three more days at the original location. They built a temporary stove with stone bricks and took them away when they left, leaving only a broken brick.

Under the broken bricks were some flattened grasses, which had not broken through the bricks or grown outside them, but had stopped growing in the shade, coexisting with woodlice and poison. If you remove the bricks, you will find centipedes underneath, but even though the grasses were flattened, they also grew into centipede-like shapes, which was strange but not much different.

When the sun shines again, they will grow upwards again. But the premise for returning to the light and growing again is that someone has to move the brick away! Otherwise, the grass will rot, be eaten and disappear, and no longer exist in the world.
