Qing Xunzi's old eyes widened. When Xia Xiao looked at him, his first reaction was to think of the story of Nezha making trouble in the sea. That ignorant little guy who always liked to get into trouble pulled out the dragon tendons of the Dragon King's son, and the Dragon King was so angry that he wanted to flood Chentang Pass. Li Jing killed Nezha with a sword for the sake of the people and justice.
Afterwards, Nezha did not die, but retained his soul. He used lotus roots as his limbs and body, and lotus and tumbleweed as his head. He was resurrected and had many magical powers. Could it be that the master also wanted to use a similar method to help him get rid of his sins and be reborn? It was possible, and he believed in the master. But how could he get close to Heihuang? How could he sneak into the underworld?
Xia Xiao essentially refused to do this, but his master insisted on doing so, so he could only nod his head in agreement. Seeing his actions, Ah Zhu was no longer calm, and her eyes were full of confusion. She had said that he was fine before, but why did he want to die now? She would not agree. With her fists clenched in anger, Ah Zhu walked towards him. No matter what Xia Xiao wanted to do, she would accompany him.
“They are all crazy.”
The deputy dean sighed secretly and used his mind to freeze Ah Zhu in place. But the tears in her eyes kept piling up, and finally blocked her vision, so that she could not see anything clearly.
"Okay! Since Xia Xiao also agrees, then I will make the decision for your Yun Kingdom."
Qing Xunzi looked at Wang Shixing and silently raised a finger, as if when he waved it down, Xia Xiao would lose his life and his head and body would be separated. Xiao Rong struggled on the ground, trying her best to escape from Xia Jinghong's arms and crawled towards Xia Xiao. Si Yi and the ministers in the palace all shot their eyes in this direction. Would it really end like this? They all didn't want that to happen, but Wang Shixing was the only one who really spoke out to stop it, and he was the only one who was qualified.
"Please show some mercy, Your Holiness. Our Yun Nation has already decided on measures to punish Xia Xiao, rather than letting him die. That would be too easy for him!"
Wang Shixing's forehead was sweating, thinking that it was a close call. However, Qing Xunzi's actions were really unexpected. He thought that this old man would protect Xia Xiao and say that he would keep a close watch on Xia Xiao and ask for forgiveness. He didn't expect that he would have the intention to kill. Is this the Pope of the Zou Shou Church? He is really different from ordinary people.
Wang Shixing's timely words made Qingxunzi's fingers stop in the air, neither drawing nor putting them away, as if he didn't want to give up. The sharp knife in the hall that could cut everything was still standing upright, and had not been put back into the sheath.
"Are you sure you don't want me to do it? Xia Xiao has many tricks, I'm afraid you can't deal with him. And once we leave this palace, Xia Xiao has nothing to do with me. I have no talent, but I can't teach a magician. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qing Xunzi's serious face was very different from his usual image, but the vice president quickly understood what he meant and at the same time developed respect for him. Being able to see through the opponent's intentions and grasp their thoughts is indeed the work of a strong person, amazing.
Wang Shixing frowned and thought that Qingxunzi probably thought that he couldn't keep Xia Xiao under control and was afraid that he would escape, so he confirmed the situation again and again. But he had the support of the elders of the Yun Kingdom and many preparations. How could he let Xia Xiao escape again? The improved god-making plan was much better than the previous one. As long as Xia Xiao was a man, he would not refuse. Therefore, he affirmed:
"Don't worry, Pope. I will take Xia Xiao away today, and Yun Country will definitely not mention this matter again. You are highly respected and you seek peace. I can see that!"
"Since Yunguo has already taken measures and you have insisted, I will not force you or influence your decision. But I will not be involved in his affairs in the future. I want to make it clear now, so that if Xia Xiao does something in the future, you will come to me to blame! If you keep nagging me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Qing Xunzi was as cold as ice inside and out, which made people afraid. Wang Shixing immediately indicated that he understood, then bowed and said goodbye, taking Xia Xiao away. He looked at the hall, which was far away in an instant. Some smart counselors looked at each other, half-understanding but pretending to understand the Pope's intentions. Xiao Rong was still crying, and I don't know if she really felt that her Xiaoer was going to die, or if she knew the Pope's good intentions.
Xia Xiao smiled. His parents' performances were very good, but the best actor tonight was still his master. His speech and performance were very good, and even penetrated into every look, which frightened him. For a few moments, Xia Xiao even felt the breath of death, but when he thought calmly, how could his master kill him?
This must be the difference between the vice president and the master. The former speaks directly and concisely, not wanting to waste any words. The latter is wiser and can express himself in different ways. While achieving his own goals, he also demonstrates the justice of the Zou Shou Church, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing Xia Xiao being taken away by four people, Hu Bugui turned around to look at Xia Jinghong and the others with a strange smile on his face. Before he could speak, the vice president said:
"Goodbye."
"You little brat, don't you know how to praise me? The one I'm protecting is my own disciple, who is also your student."
The vice president looked at him with a bit of blame. Such realistic acting is not a good thing sometimes. Fortunately, he was patient. If he really got impulsive, things would be troublesome.
Without words, without breeze, and without the light dust on the ground, the vice president and Ah Zhu disappeared on the spot. The latter held the knife and had no time to say goodbye to Xia Jinghong and the others. This time, it was an extremely long wait, and also a choice and a gamble.
In such a sad atmosphere, one less person or one more person would not attract the attention of others, except for the vice president and the pope. The former left first, followed by the latter. They left quietly, but it was when they left that Si Yi hurriedly stood up, and the ministers all stepped forward, as if to show their concern.
Without outsiders, this place truly belongs to Daxia. Si Yi helped Xia Jinghong up, and also went to help Xiao Rong, but what surprised him was that the latter, who had been crying and wailing before, now smiled at him, and the tears in the corners of her eyes did not affect her innate elegance at all, without the pettiness of an ordinary woman.
"Could it be that the Pope is doing this for Xia Xiao?"
Si Yi suddenly realized it, and when Xia Jinghong nodded slightly, he became more convinced of this idea. Xiao Rong looked in the direction where Xia Xiao left and muttered to herself.
"Xiao'er, it's up to you from now on."
Si Yi glanced at Xiao Rong, put his hand on Xia Jinghong's shoulder, and praised:
"I hope I will be as lucky as you and have a good wife."
Xia Jinghong bowed and did not refuse the emperor's praise, and replied:
"I am not as blessed as Your Majesty, but it is precisely because I have a humble inner peace that I can fight outside with confidence."
"So when are you going to Dragon Tiger Fortress?"
"We'll leave at noon."
By this calculation, it was less than two hours before Xia Jinghong set off, earlier than the time Si Yi was looking forward to the most. He did not hesitate to praise her, saying:
"I am lucky to have your Xia family!"
What Si Yi said was not an exaggeration. There were treacherous and cunning people in the court, as well as many loyal ministers, but there were not many who were as dedicated as the Xia family to the Great Xia.
After receiving the order, Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong retreated and returned to Xia Mansion to prepare to go to Longhu Fortress to defend against the enemy. During this process, they looked up at the sky from time to time, wondering where Xia Xiao was.
In the distant sky, Xia Xiao was in a cage. He didn't care where he was because someone was pulling him. But when he looked at the vast land of thin clouds, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
Both his master and his parents played this scene very well and placed great expectations on him, but whether he could complete it depended on how the people of Yun Country treated him. He planned to stay in Yun Country for a while and escape when they relaxed their vigilance, but things gradually took a track he did not expect.
Before Xia Xiao asked about the Yun people's handling method, Wang Shixing said:
"Are you glad you escaped?"
Xia Xiao looked indifferent and did not reply. This was all expected. What was there to be happy about?
"But don't worry, you will still die after being abandoned by the surface. It's just that your death will be tragic, not as simple as having your head chopped off. Of course, it won't be pleasant either, because your blood will be sucked out completely, and you will become a useless person without your talent, and die quickly in old age. The god you give birth to will leave the Great Wilderness, go to the next level, and head towards the God Realm."
"Haven't you given up on your plan to create a god?"
"Of course not, but this time, we changed a carrier. Ah Zhu is good, but creating a god still requires a stronger male bloodline. Even if the Human Emperor did not become a god, you have blood comparable to hers in your body, so you can master the five elements. As long as the power of your bloodline is absorbed, all your abilities and talents will be perfectly inherited. And the woman who carries the pure bloodline of our Yun Kingdom will become the best carrier of the new god."
"You're really crazy. So, do you have a way to absorb the power of blood?"
Xia Xiao had never been involved in that kind of method, but he had heard of it several times. At this time, Wang Shixing turned his old face and showed a sinister smile, as if he had already won.
"My Yun Nation has been sealed off for ten thousand years. First, to ensure the purity of the bloodline. Our clan is superior to you, unlike the common people. Second, to improve the way to control the bloodline and gather the power of the bloodline. You should be thankful to die under the pomegranate skirt of a beautiful woman. She is the one with the purest bloodline in our country. She was born by the strongest person in the history. She is the best in Yun Nation in terms of both appearance and strength."
"So Wang Qishen's so-called divine envoy is just a figurehead? I thought he was very powerful."
"The God's messenger is in the light, while she is in the dark. She is the hard work of the powerful men of all generations. She has accumulated the blood power of the strongest men of the Yun Nation for more than 30,000 years. She is a trump card that we have no choice but to use."
Xia Xiao frowned, feeling a bad premonition. Seeing his expression, Wang Shixing said proudly:
"You guessed it right. Since the first generation of the strongest combined, they would die every time they gave birth to a human. The male would be sucked dry by the female during the combination, and the female would gradually dry up during the pregnancy. This cycle has continued for generations, and now there is a nearly perfect woman, but she is still a mortal body, a little short of maturity. It's just right for you to make up for it."
Xia Xiao snorted and said disdainfully:
"It's not enough that you've set your sights on Ah Zhu, you now want me to have a baby for you, are you sick? I originally thought you didn't have women, but now I find out you don't have that thing. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so anxious to save Ah Zhu, and let Wang Qishen know what inferiority complex is."
"Whatever you say, I just informed you and let you know the situation. I didn't ask for your opinion."
Wang Shixing's smile was a bit strange, giving Xia Xiao a feeling that he couldn't escape. But they had seen Hei Huang, so they should know that there was someone behind him, so why did they dare to bring him back to Yun Country? Aren't they afraid that he would escape? Or are they sure they can control him? If the space is blocked, Hei Huang might have a hard time finding him, but the demonic energy should be easy to identify.
Xia Xiao, who has been inseparable from the devil all his life, always has the stench of devilish energy on his body. The strong can smell it, and his kind can even identify this special smell from a long distance.
Xia Xiao's panic grew stronger unconsciously. He stared at the clouds in the sky for a long time. Because it was winter, the clouds seemed thin, but they were still thick and gloomy. A few wisps of clouds formed a picture that made Xia Xiao look desolate, as if he and Ah Zhu would be separated in the sky and could not be together.
Arriving at Wang's house, the city had been restored to its original state in nearly three months. He was taken to the inner part. Of course, those golden buildings and palaces were not for him to live in, but a small palace in a secluded place looked good. He had lived in a mass grave and underground. Any room could be used as a shelter, but there was no one there. It looked a bit desolate no matter how he looked at it.
"Go in and wait for the favor of my Goddess of the Cloud Country."
Wang Shixing smiled evilly, as if waiting for a good show, but it was also a bargain for Xia Xiao. He didn't know how many Yun Kingdom envoys went crazy for him, but Xia Xiao took advantage of him. But Xia Xiao didn't appreciate it. He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others and think that he would die under the pomegranate skirt and be a romantic ghost.
"Pamper your mother."
Xia Xiao said this in front of Wang Shixing, and he wanted to spit on him, leaving his face blue and purple.
Stepping into the side hall with layers of barriers, Xia Xiao felt annoyed and frowned at the light so bright that he couldn't even detect Wang Shixing, who was visible to the naked eye.
As he walked along, he gradually felt something was wrong, so he called out to Hei Huang, but the silent method in his mind didn't seem to work. At this time, he released the magic energy, but it still had no effect.
Wang Shixing behind him didn't say anything. He had nothing to say to the vulgar Xia Xiao. He just had to suck it dry as planned, without leaving a drop.
After he left, Xia Xiao looked back and saw no one, so he just walked aimlessly in the hall. He tried to stay calm as much as possible, thinking about how to escape and bite the Yun Kingdom. But if he didn't get in touch with Hei Huang, it would be wishful thinking.
When in Yinxun, Xia Xiao didn't dare to look for Hei Huang, because she might be discovered as soon as she showed up. It would be bad if the five major forces were attracted in advance, but now they couldn't be contacted. Xia Xiao felt that he was too clever, but he sat on the table in the middle of the hall with a calm expression.
Coming to Yun Country was a crucial step. If he wanted to continue walking, he had to see the road clearly. Xia Xiao was extremely quiet. Now was his time to enjoy peace and quiet. He finally got to enjoy such a time as he wished.
In winter, Yunguo was cold and desolate. There were no tables or chairs around, not even a cup. But Xia Xiao liked it this way, and even felt a little happy. Although Xia Xiao didn't want to leave Azhu, he hadn't been alone for a long time. When he was alone, he would become a beast that didn't care about anything.
Xia Xiao habitually glanced at the side hall, seeking answers while calming his mind, but soon found something that was placed in an obvious position but he had not seen it before. He stood up, turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be lost in thought, admiring its beauty.
