As he walked towards the forest, a warrior in black and purple armor appeared beside Xia Xiao. He held an extremely sharp sword in his hand, and had a strong killing intention. But Xia Xiao did not turn his head or stop, but just said:
"I'll catch up with you later."
Xia Xiao would definitely go to every space. This war had a great impact on them, especially the Golden Spirit Beast. Since the moment the latter chose to stay in his body, they were closely connected and could feel each other's emotions. But the Golden Spirit Beast's tone was very cold, and even a little regretful.
"I wanted to kill you and eliminate all the darkness in the world, but you said it would be more efficient to cooperate. I admit that your cultivation speed is not slow and your talent is extremely high. But you fell into the devil's way. Do you know what this means?"
Xia Xiao stopped in front of the forest, his face slightly cold, and said in a deep voice:
"Others can misunderstand me and blame me, but you can't! You understand the situation at that time."
"I would rather die than cause trouble for the righteous cause!"
"Only by living can you find the answer!"
"What answer? Do you really believe what that woman said?"
“I don’t believe it, but the Great Emperor Qishi has no demonic aura, so he won’t lie.”
"The ancestor of the Spiritual Contract has become a god, otherwise how could he have such strong power?"
"We have to explore those things together. It's too early to draw conclusions now!"
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he stepped into the forest without giving the golden beast a chance to speak. The latter was filled with anger and retreated back to his own world, with his future and ambitions in his eyes extremely confused.
This road is too difficult to walk, so difficult that the Golden Spirit Beast can't think of any way. Xia Xiao is still using his cleverness, but how can he find his way in the darkness? He will only be manipulated by others. Even if countless enemies stand in front of him now, his strength cannot be seen. Moreover, the interception of the academy will be more difficult to break through than Xia Xiao thought. He will be unable to move forward. He will be nailed to the ground after taking a few steps on this road, and then he will be set up with the cross he has seen and burned with fire to eliminate the evil power.
The golden spirit beast sighed for a long time, and sat in the metal palace for a long time. Xia Xiao walked in the forest path, and felt relaxed and happy because of the changes, but soon became heavy. There were flowers in the forest before, but they were few. But now there are more vines in the forest, and the white flowers on them are surrounded by Xia Xiao with fragrance.
He had seen this kind of green vine and white flower from Xiao Ran, but could she enter the wood element space? It shouldn't work, Xia Xiao had already tried it. After Shu Shuang left, Xiao Ran was alone. She was good friends with Ju Mang, so Xia Xiao wanted to sign a spiritual contract with her, but because it was theoretically impractical, he was forced to refuse by the senior, and Xia Xiao was not allowed to try secretly.
Xia Xiao had always been very obedient, and the senior's theory was well-organized and convinced him. But now it seems that there are always some behaviors beyond the theory. Because Xia Xiao had sensed Xiao Ran's breath, the tall and slender back slowly appeared in his field of vision.
Ju Mang's death was very special to Xia Xiao. He also remembered the Qingtian Sect. For a person who holds grudges, revenge is a must. Xia Xiao doesn't care how many people died. He didn't do anything! But he killed Ju Mang, so he had to pay the price!
The road was long because of the memorial service. Xia Xiao lowered his head and walked around a few branches. When he reached the altar, the woman on it cast a look at him. Her eyes were full of tenderness, like a lake exposed to the sun, the water was a little warm, the wind was gentle, and it made people feel extremely beautiful. She made this space have some fragrance, like her boudoir, extremely beautiful.
Xia Xiao couldn't bear to break the beauty and silence of the painting, so he looked at her without saying anything, and stood beside her, looking at the fist-sized green ball of light floating in the center of the altar. There were many complex patterns in it, with extraordinary fluctuations, as if it was nurturing a special life.
"Is this the seed left by Ju Mang?"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. Xia Xiao was not surprised. He just looked at the small ball and did not have a strong sense of it. As if knowing his concerns, Xiao Ran said softly:
"He temporarily gave the Wood Element Space to me before he left. During this time, I can help you."
Xiao Ran raised her left hand, and although it was low, it reached in front of Xia Xiao. There was a ring on her slender finger, which was extremely simple, but the small flower carved on it was the same as her headdress.
"He gave it to me?"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, with a happy smile on her face. When Ju Mang was about to die, he hurriedly put this ring on her. Presumably, this is also a key to open the Wood Element Space. Xia Xiao roughly guessed why she could enter.
Xiaoyu didn't have complete water control, so she couldn't mobilize all the power of the space, so she could only hold three fish. But Ju Mang had complete wood control, so it was difficult for him to let Xiao Ran enter this space. But now that he has become a seed, he should be able to let Xiao Ran in and call on the power in it by using some special methods.
Rather than leaving Xiaoran in the academy, it would be better to stay here, at least that's what she thought.
"It probably took him a long time."
Xia Xiao assisted Ju Mang. Xiao Ran knew his intention and smiled slightly, which was a beautiful thing in the world. Xia Xiao looked at her smile and the corners of his mouth also rose slightly.
"When he is truly resurrected, you will be worried sick."
"Why?"
"When he was little, he was very naughty and couldn't keep quiet."
Xia Xiao thought of what Ju Mang looked like when he was a child and described the little fat boy to Xiao Ran, making her burst out laughing.
Xiao Ran thought she would have regrets in her life, but Ju Mang didn't leave completely. That day, she returned with the wood carving and walked aimlessly in the forest. But when she reached the altar, the wood carving broke into countless pieces, scattered throughout the forest, making her feel very familiar with this space. Now, she will wait for Ju Mang to be reborn here, no matter how long it takes.
After chatting with Xia Xiao for a long time, Xiao Ran's already calm heart became as beautiful as the beautiful scenery in this space again. She watched Xia Xiao go away, stood quietly in front of the seed and looked at it, and occasionally went to the forest for a short walk, looking for the footprints left by Ju Mang.
Just like Xia Xiao said, Ju Mang was really naughty when he was young. He used the trunk of a tree as a ruler to record his height. Unexpectedly, he grew up and the tree grew up too. When the tree grew faster than him, he would use his little claws to scratch a lot of marks on it. Seeing this, Xiao Ran could imagine Ju Mang's funny movements at that time. That round body must be very funny.
When Ju Mang is truly resurrected, Xiao Ran will accompany him day by day as he grows up, tell him stories, coax him to sleep, and prepare delicious food for him. She should no longer be like Xia Xiao said, with eyes full of happiness when he ate oranges for the first time, as if abusing him.
Before Ju Mang regained his memory, it would have been a very interesting scene. After he regained his memory, it was even more interesting, because Xiao Ran participated in all his childhood embarrassments. The imagined scene made Xiao Ran squint her eyes, put her hands behind her back, kick her feet and walk in the woods, her mood was as bright as the sunshine.
Compared to her mood, Xiaoyu was in a much worse state. She had always been a little scared, and timidly sank into the deep sea, with three big fish always accompanying her, but she still chose to sleep and escape from reality. It was not until Xia Xiao arrived that she eagerly expressed her concerns.
“Are we going to be okay?”
Xiaoyu rarely spoke and was always timid, but Xia Xiao floated in front of her and answered softly:
"Yes."
Xia Xiao was very determined. He would definitely walk out of the darkness, but it would take time and the trust of his companions. There was a deep sea in his eyes, and Xiaoyu swam in it. When she looked at him, the shyness and timidity in her vertical pupils were slowly overcome, and some confidence emerged.
"Where are we going now?"
"South China Sea."
"Then what?"
"It's still uncertain at the moment. We may return to Devil's Plains or go somewhere else, but don't worry, the South China Sea is just the starting point. We won't stay there forever."
Xiaoyu believed Xia Xiao, and when she nodded heavily, the latter reached out his hand to comfort her. Xiaoyu was as tall as the stone statue guards in front of the Sea God Temple. Xia Xiao was just a seaweed in front of him, but he would always be the little fish in her eyes.
Xia Xiao spent the longest time with Xiao Yu, and mostly talked to Huo Dou about fighting. Now that Ju Mang was gone, Xiao Ran could mobilize the power of the Wood Element Space, but she could only bring balance to Xia Xiao from the inside. If she fought in the outside world, although her strength was not weak, it would be difficult to recover, after all, the Wood Element Space she could control was not her companion. The burden of the battle fell on Huo Dou's shoulders, but he was full of fighting spirit, and he showed confidence because of Xia Xiao's appreciation.
As for the Golden Spirit Beast, Xia Xiao didn't talk much with him, their fates had long been linked together. Now even if Xia Xiao died, the Golden Spirit Beast would not survive, so even if he didn't think highly of him, Xia Xiao had to go down this path!
When Xia Xiao returned to the small lawn, he felt like he had returned to a long time ago. He no longer had the power of a backer, nor did he have a dazzling identity, and he couldn't even go to find his relatives. What he had to face was the unknown and the danger, as well as his former companions!
Losing reputation, dignity and a good life is not a pleasant feeling, but Xia Xiao has not lost everything, because he still has Huo Dou and the others in his body, and Azhu is by his side!
The road must be difficult to walk, but it had to be walked. Xia Xiao thought about the next plan in a comfortable environment. But he soon opened his eyes and looked at Ah Zhu not far away. He didn't know how much time had passed, but she was in a black metal-like halo, and he didn't know what she was looking at.
When she woke up, tears welled up in her eyes and there was a menacing dragon pattern on her arm.
The dragon pattern was lifelike, extending from the shoulder to the forearm. The flash of light tore Ah Zhu's sleeves apart, allowing Xia Xiao to see the skin that looked like frost and snow, as well as the strong metallic black patterns. The extremely contrasting colors were a entrenched black dragon, and it was also Hu Bugui!
When a strong man of the Dao-Wen level dies, the heaven and earth will be buried, and everything left behind will be very valuable, which can be called the whale fall in the cultivation world. But now Hu Bugui has left everything to Ah Zhu, because this girl is his only disciple!
