“Get out of the way!”
Outside the palace gate, the people gathered in a group, and were so overwhelmed by the noise that they forgot the rules. Su Zhongmou roared behind them, but it was useless. He could only signal the practitioners behind him to rush out a wave of vital energy, which frightened everyone to make way, and then he rode away.
Today is not a national celebration, and even the crisis of Nanshang has not been resolved, but such a big commotion has caused a lot of trouble. I don’t know whether it is good or bad. However, the crisis of the people who came from afar has made them very concerned. They have been staring at the door, waiting for someone to come out and announce the news. Daxia finally produced a talent, and no one wants it to be destroyed, but when he fell into the devil’s way, he was actually destroyed.
"Look up at the sky!"
Someone shouted, and the chaotic crowd stopped talking and looked up at the sky. Today was a clear day with few and thin clouds, but it was still broken by the streams of light from the south and the north, and its traces could be found. The streams of light came in the blink of an eye, breaking through the space, from the sky above the crowd to the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
There were already quite a few people in the hall, with civil officials and military generals each in their positions. When they stared at the four people from Yun State, their eyes were terrifying, as if they wanted to eat them. Seeing the old man with white hair and a youthful face coming, Wang Shixing stood up to greet them. At the same time, he glanced at the ministers in the hall and Si Yi on the throne, and sneered:
"If you two hadn't come, the people of Daxia would have thought we were wrong."
Xia Xiao stood in the center of the hall, with his parents and Azhu behind him. When he first met Wang Shixing, the latter was still a man of few words, but now he is a man of many words and is not well-liked. However, the master and the vice-president did not answer him. It was the people of Yun who were wrong. Azhu was the main god's consciousness, but they were so disrespectful and wanted to use him to create a god. It was really shameful.
Stepping forward, Qingxunzi and the vice president first saluted the emperor, then followed the procedure and acted out the play. Wang Shixing clenched his fists and listened to Qingxunzi's question:
"When was Xia Xiao captured?"
"He suddenly returned home last night and was detained by me in my mansion."
Xia Jinghong's face was stern and livid, and he looked like he was disappointed with his teacher, but also had a sense of righteousness. Xia Xiao was fine when he saw his master, but he felt a little awkward when he looked at the vice-president. It would be great if the senior sister came. He and the vice-president had only met a few times, so he didn't know how to start acting against each other.
"Before I am taken away by the Yun Kingdom, I have something to say and something to ask. Do you have any objections?"
Although the vice-president is small in stature, he is well-known. As the only person in the Great Wilderness who has truly seen a god, his cultivation and swordsmanship are like a myth, and no one dares to disobey him.
After scanning the people in the hall and seeing that no one objected, the vice president turned his attention to Wang Shixing. The latter looked into his eyes for the first time, and those eyes that were always peaceful and never rippled made his heart tremble, as if his ambitions were seen through and all his pride was shattered.
In the eyes of the vice-president, Yun Kingdom is nothing. Once the mysterious veil is removed, it is just an ordinary small country with very few practitioners.
"Vice President, please speak."
Wang Shixing stuttered under his aura, causing many people to sneer. The arrogant people of Yun should be hit, and those faces were infuriating.
Turning around, the Vice President looked at Xia Xiao and said:
"Although Qingxunzi is your master and I am your vice-president, no one can protect you today. You must return to Yun Country with the elders of Yun Country. From now on, the crime you committed has nothing to do with Daxia, Ningshen Academy, or Zoushou Church."
"yes."
"Answer me, where did you go after Yunguo?"
Xia Xiao didn't dare to glance at his master, fearing that he would be seen through. He didn't know whether his master had greeted the vice-president, so he said casually:
"I did not leave Yun Country. Instead, I used the five elements to build an underground house and stayed in it with Ah Zhu. We relied on her ability to avoid the search of the Yun people. We stayed there for more than two months, and have been staying there since we rescued Ah Zhu. Although the Yun people are thick-skinned, they lack strength."
"presumptuous!"
Xia Xiao and Wang Shixing looked at each other, like a sharp confrontation, more like ruthless natural enemies who only knew how to kill. Even if the Yun people had not caused any physical harm to Ah Zhu, Xia Xiao would not let them go.
"That's all I want to ask. The academy has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and all the students we teach are capable of standing on their own feet. Xia Xiao did something wrong, so he will be punished, and he will bear the consequences himself. I want to take Ah Zhu away. But people from the Yun country, I advise you to keep a low profile and don't put your hands on anyone from my academy. If there's a next time, my academy will show no mercy."
Ah Zhu held the knife and walked behind the vice president, finding his real backer. Behind this seemingly childlike big man was a mountain, extremely heavy and as high as the sky. His gaze slammed hard on Wang Shixing, making him unable to breathe. Although few people had seen the vice president, he was very famous, and a glance from him made Wang Shixing's body sink and his expression panic.
There were many people present, and the more people there were, the more he wanted to save face. Wang Shixing was now representing not just himself, but the Yun Nation. Therefore, with the help of the two people beside him, he gradually stood firm, looking at the handsome boy with some fear. Wang Shixing didn't know how he had practiced to reach this height, but he still asked tremblingly:
"Does your Excellency also think that my Yun Kingdom is wrong?"
He himself did not notice the trembling of his voice, but the more he argued, the more shameless they seemed to be to those who knew what had happened. This word was the best way to describe them, they had no sense of self-shame and no sense of propriety, they had simply reached another level of being human, shameless and yet they were still crying out for injustice.
Although the vice president spoke little and his face was calm and composed, without showing much inner emotion, he was merciless and said ruthlessly:
"Could it be that you did the right thing? Xia Xiao and Azhu had just arrived in Yun Country, not only did they not hurt any innocent people, they also saved the people of your village, but what about you? You injured Xia Xiao so that he could be thrown out of Yun Country, and you kidnapped Azhu for your own selfish interests and wanted to make her pregnant. Is this the way you treat guests in Yun Country, the style of a great country? If Xia Xiao hadn't risked his life to save Azhu, he would have been injured by you long ago!"
"Xia Xiao has fallen into the devil's way, it is good enough to spare his life..."
"What about Ah Zhu? Has this girl ever threatened you? Has she ever been possessed by a demon? After Xia Xiao was possessed by a demon, our academy protected her because we know that falling into the path of demons does not mean that one will become a murderer, nor does it mean that one's entire heart is blinded by darkness. Look at your greedy and hateful faces, which are more annoying than the path of demons."
"No matter what you say, Xia Xiao has killed someone, and we want an explanation!"
"I'll go with you!"
Xia Xiao gestured to his parents, nodded slightly to his master, the vice president, and Ah Zhu, and then walked towards Wang Shixing very easily. He narrowed his eyes, frowned, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, which was extremely terrifying. This trip to Yun Country, perhaps everyone thought he had a narrow escape from death, but for Xia Xiao, it was just another commotion.
The closer he got to Wang Shixing, the more fierce the light in Xia Xiao's eyes became. The iron chains and steel hooks on his body gradually broke and scattered all over the ground. Wang Shixing, who was much stronger than Xia Xiao, subconsciously wanted to retreat, but his legs and feet were fixed in place. Seeing the place where Xia Xiao was pierced by the steel hooks healed quickly, Wang Shixing frowned and asked:
"what you up to?"
Xia Xiao shrugged his shoulders, his face full of disdain and arrogance, as if to say that no one could restrain him except his parents. If Wang Shixing had not seen Xia Xiao making a scene at Wang's house, he would have thought that he was pretending to be strong, but he really had the ability, and the woman behind him was terrifying.
Having suffered enough today, Wang Shixing did not want to argue anymore. He just wanted to bring Xia Xiao back. Although Ah Zhu could not be obtained, it would be fine as long as Xia Xiao was obtained. They could always control this sinful guy. As long as Xia Xiao was in Yun Country, their plan to create a god could continue.
To make a successful adventure, you need sufficient confidence and theoretical support, as well as rigorous means to avoid unnecessary complications.
Seeing Wang Shixing bound the space, making Xia Xiao feel like she was in a cage, Xiao Rong cried out in sorrow, "Xiao'er", but was hugged by Xia Jinghong when she stepped forward. This weak woman lost all her intelligence when she saw her child was being taken away. But how could Xia Jinghong not feel distressed? But as Xia Xiao said, running away all the time is not a solution, you must face it and then solve it.
What makes a man a man? And what does it mean to grow? The answer is that a man is someone who can stand tall and be able to respond to situations as they arise. Growth means being able to think independently, consider the pros and cons, and make choices.
"Since Xia Xiao has been captured, we will take our leave."
Wang Shixing was about to leave, but found that he could not move. The strong force suppressed the world, and the air around them suddenly solidified.
When many people were surprised and didn't know why they stopped, Wang Shixing turned his head despite the suffocation from all directions and looked at the aloof old man with a white beard. The amiable look on his face made him look more talkative than the vice president, but his actions at this time seemed not so friendly. He spoke very leisurely, attracting everyone's attention again.
"As a junior, you didn't even bow before leaving, nor did you ask me if I had anything to say. Fortunately, you are from Yun Country. If you were in the surface of the Great Wilderness, you would probably be taught a lesson wherever you go. Compared to those two brats Wang Jinlong and Wang Yinlong, you are still far behind. At least they behave politely and are more gentle bastards."
The surrounding space returned to normal. Wang Shixing fell from high school, but he managed to keep his balance and did not fall to the ground like the other three. Xia Xiao stayed in his cage and watched Wang Shixing bow respectfully. He couldn't help but smile, wondering what the master was going to do next. But compared to the vice-president, the master was obviously more interesting, so he also looked over and listened to what he said:
"I don't have much to say, but I have to express my feelings, so as not to be accused of not caring about my disciple. Xia Xiao came from afar. He is the son of prophecy mentioned by the ancestor of the spiritual contract, and he will definitely do great things. But prophecy and reality are different. Now Xia Xiao has been possessed by the devil. I have prayed for him, hoping that he will return from the devil's way, but I didn't expect that he has been possessed by the devil for nearly half a year. Although he has not killed innocent people indiscriminately, he has also caused a lot of trouble. The solutions to some things are not good. This time, he accidentally killed tens of thousands of Yun people. Although there are reasons and evidence, the sin is hard to pay."
Xia Xiao swallowed his saliva, always having a bad feeling. Xia Jinghong and his wife and Azhu also looked at the Pope eagerly, their faces gradually becoming complicated. Even if they couldn't save him, they shouldn't push him into the fire!
"As the Pope, I have always promoted the doctrine of peace. I know that human life is at stake, and I have seen countless similar things. Such things have always created hatred that is difficult to resolve for generations. If that happens, it will not be good for Yunguo and Daxia. What's more, my departure from the First Church and Ningshen Academy is also related to this matter, which affects their reputation. We will not shirk our responsibilities. If a son does not teach well, it is the fault of the father. As a master, I am also a father for life. He is the vice president of the academy. Xia Xiao has spent the most time in the academy, so I also have a great responsibility."
The vice president was always cold and arrogant, but at this moment he couldn't help but look at Qing Xunzi. What was this old man trying to do? Wasn't it asking for trouble to say such things in front of the two countries?
"what you up to?"
The vice president asked directly, wanting an explanation in the silent world and stagnant time. But Qing Xunzi ignored him and did not answer. He just stepped out of the strange space and said:
"I have a suggestion to completely end this hatred. If there is an opportunity in the future, the two countries can have normal exchanges, and my church and college will also accept members and students normally. Do you want to listen to it?"
With Qing Xunzi's strength, Wang Shixing dared not disobey and could only nod. He laughed a few times, looked at Xia Xiao, and shocked everyone with his words.
"As a grown man, you must not let your country fall into danger. If you are taken away this time, I don't know how much trouble you will cause. Today, your master is here to personally cut off your head and let this little ghost take it back to the country to comfort the dead and injured in Yun Country, so as to pray for peace in Yun Country and Daxia. What do you think?"
Xia Xiao was shocked when he heard this. He thought, Master, you are joking. If the Yun people really want to do this, he won't even have a chance to escape. If he escapes, Master will have to chase him. Why? Not to mention him, even the deputy dean couldn't see through Qing Xunzi's thoughts and frowned immediately.
Xia Jinghong and his wife knelt down one after another, tears in their eyes.
"Your Holiness, you can't do that!"
"It's hard to let go of hatred if I die. I'd rather let Xiao'er work like a slave to repay Yunguo. I just hope you can save my life."
"Please show mercy, senior."
Ah Zhu didn't understand what this meant, but he knelt firmly. Xia Xiao must not die, and he must live no matter what. But the Yun people hadn't said how to deal with him yet, so why did the old senior suddenly have such a cruel heart? When everyone was confused and the Yun people were also shocked, Qing Xunzi straightened his beard and said in a righteous voice:
"General Xia, you sent Xia Xiao here, which was a righteous act. I admire your mind and vision, but why are you so conflicted now? You know what he did. He really disobeyed his father's orders and ignored his teacher's kindness. How can we save the lives of tens of thousands of people? Once this happens, all our good reputations will be destroyed. If we don't kill him, how can we appease the undead souls of tens of thousands of people in Yun Country?"
"Your Holiness, this..."
Xia Jinghong didn't know how to answer for a moment, but this was different from Xia Xiao's plan. But when Xiao Rong knelt forward and tried to continue begging, he pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth.
Xiao Rong was extremely desperate, looking at Xia Xiao in the invisible cage. She originally thought that he could come back, but she didn't expect that he would be sentenced to death. She hoped that Xia Xiao could survive. No matter what, as long as he survived, it would be fine. It didn't matter if she couldn't see him. As long as he was alive, she had no other extravagant requests...
Tears streamed down her cheeks, Xiao Rong's vision was blurry, her throat was hoarse, but she didn't make a sound. She only heard the Pope speak and asked Xia Xiao:
"Do you think the Master's decision is feasible?"
