In order to avoid Wang Jinlong's attention, Xia Xiao subconsciously moved his body to block him, but he knew that the effect was not great. However, when he looked nervously, Wang Jinlong was still in black and white, as if he was frozen in time. Seeing that he did not react, Xia Xiao waited for a second, which was an extremely long second, but he did not hesitate any longer, just flipped him over and escaped from his palm.
Being pressed to the ground did not feel good. There was a bloody palm print on Xia Xiao's chest, and his chest even sank a little. Xia Xiao did not have time to check how many bones he had broken, nor did he immediately jump into the calm black circle. He just ran behind Wang Yinlong with a strong desire for revenge, picked up Wang Yaping, and jumped down with him.
The fragments of armor were scattered everywhere, and the last few large pieces were piled up next to the dark circle. It was like a monster's mouth, just a little smaller, but the moment Xia Xiao and Wang Yaping entered, it suddenly closed and disappeared into the Cloud Kingdom, as if it had never appeared.
The mysterious power withdrew silently, and the world, which was illuminated by the vitality as if it were daytime, returned to normal. But he was happy in his heart, thinking that although 99 was worse than 100 points, it was better than 98 points, and better than the previous 60 or 70 points. As a page in the history books, as the real ruler of Yun Country, Wang Jinlong must record his achievements in detail for future generations to read and admire. But his subordinate Xia Xiao disappeared.
The three of them were suddenly stunned, and the flames of anxiety in their hearts went from almost calm to burning all over their bodies. Wang Jinlong looked around, and his vitality was instantly expanded, but there was no trace of breath.
"Where's Xia Xiao?"
He roared, asking himself and the two people beside him, but they just shook their heads, their faces full of astonishment. This was the real slip from his hands. Wang Jinlong thought that Xia Xiao's ability had been exhausted, but he didn't expect that it was because of his own shallowness.
In endless regret, Wang Jinlong followed the armor fragments and found that Wang Yaping was missing and could not track her breath. According to the current situation, she must have been taken away by Xia Xiao, but where did she go?
Wang Yinlong was the first to discover that Wang Yaping had disappeared, but he didn't dare to say anything. When Wang Jinlong found out, he was really furious. The silent girl had never had a strong sense of presence. But because of her own specialness, she always attracted people's attention. But where is she now?
"What's going on?"
Wang Jinlong lost control of his emotions. He roared and questioned the people around him, and stomped his foot on the ground, causing the entire Wang family to tremble. Everyone could hear his roar.
It was understandable that Xia Xiao was taken away, after all, that woman was threatening them all the time. Even if they had to cancel the plan, they could still do so, but they had to see Wang Yaping. She was the root of the Yun Kingdom and was someone they could not give up no matter what. But her whereabouts were unknown.
"What are you standing there for? Blockade Yun Country from all directions and call an emergency national meeting!"
Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing left immediately, looking solemn. Yunguo's face had never been slapped by a person before. But if Xia Xiao could do it, he would have to become an enemy of a country, but Xia Xiao didn't care!
Wang Jinlong stood there alone, searching for the vitality or demonic energy left by Xia Xiao, hoping to find some clues. He did find something, but it was difficult to determine Xia Xiao's current location through them. In the process, he quickly recalled the scene when Xia Xiao persuaded Wang Yaping. Did that guy want to sow discord and take her away from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Wang Jinlong frowned, looking exaggerated. It was the first time that he felt that a young man under 20 years old was so terrifying. How deep and dark must his heart be? As for what his purpose would be? Wang Jinlong thought for a long time and couldn't think of it. Wang Yaping should be of no use to Xia Xiao, but he thought too much about Xia Xiao in this matter. Everything the latter did at this time was just for revenge, without much thought.
Even though he killed someone, Xia Xiao still felt that Yun Kingdom was wrong, so this trip was just for revenge.
"Great Elder, we can start the meeting now."
After thinking for a long time, Wang Jinlong's mind was already in a mess. But in the meeting, he clearly pointed out that he should first look for it in Yunguo. Xia Xiao was so cunning and could do anything. He might be hiding there, because the Yunguo barrier was not damaged. Now that he didn't have Ah Zhu by his side, he couldn't completely hide his aura, so he could find it quickly. Then he looked at the faces of the gods and elders of the families in the talisman array with murderous intent, and said in a cold tone:
"Our Yun Country has always been sealed off, but they broke the peace. Now, our roots have been abducted. If there is any mistake, how can we flourish and bear fruit? The Yun Country's ten thousand-year cause cannot be destroyed in Xia Xiao's hands. So far, our Yun Country and Xia Xiao have forged a blood feud. This time, all the cultivators above the third level in the country will enter the surface of the Great Wilderness to search for his whereabouts. If he is found, no matter what obstacles are there, kill him first and report later!"
Wang Jinlong gritted his teeth, but still couldn't release all his anger. He cut off his hair to show his determination, shocking everyone.
"If I don't kill Xia Xiao, I, Wang Jinlong, will not be a human being!"
Wang Shixing stood behind Wang Jinlong, frowning as he recalled the Pope's actions. Was he overthinking, or was the so-called Pope helping Xia Xiao from the beginning? When he told Wang Jinlong his thoughts, the latter was silent for a long time. Who would dare to be sure about such a thing? But if there were really so many people behind Xia Xiao, he would not be able to deal with them even if he found them. This was the situation he least wanted to see, but as he analyzed it, he gradually confirmed that his thoughts were correct.
"It shouldn't be possible. After Xia Xiao was brought back, we informed other families of the new god-making plan. How did he know that we didn't dare to kill Xia Xiao? Moreover, the Zou Shou Church has a long history, and Qing Xunzi has also executed members for not protecting him. Also, when Xia Xiao left, I vaguely felt the devil's aura. Qing Xunzi was not possessed by the devil, and it was that woman who did it."
After hearing this, although it was just speculation, Wang Shixing felt much more at ease and devoted himself to finding Xia Xiao. Just as Wang Jinlong said, Xia Xiao must die!
The Yun Kingdom was making a big noise this time. In their history, only the ascension had caused such a big noise. Ascension was to get away from the world, but now they were no different from the mortal world. When the practitioners and the people began to carefully look for Xia Xiao's whereabouts, who would have thought that he was holding Wang Yaping's wrist tightly and falling into the darkness, as if into a bottomless cliff.
Xia Xiao was sure that the previous voice came from Yu Shangyan. Didn’t she say that she had no strength left? How could she still save him from danger?
Xia Xiao was indeed grateful for her saving his life, but he couldn't help but doubt. He heard what Hei Huang and Que Dan said to him at that time, and it was repeated again. He gradually determined that Yu Shangyan protected him because of the mark on his body, and she would indeed absorb his power, but he didn't know when in the future. But as his strength grew, that day was gradually approaching.
This was the first time Xia Xiao had such a strong sense of crisis. Compared with Yu Shangyan, the three great masters of Yun Country were nothing? Although there was a gap between him and the three great masters, the gap could be made up. Unlike him and Yu Shangyan, he couldn't even see through them, let alone get close. In front of absolute power, the challenge seemed childish and funny.
Xia Xiao waited to stop falling, but then he remembered something. Why didn't the brand on his back react? Every time Yu Shangyan appeared, or there was a strong power fluctuation, it would light up, making Xia Xiao slightly drunk. But now he didn't feel anything at all. Was it because he was falling and his perception was blurred, or was it because this was not Yu Shangyan's power at all, but someone was impersonating him?
Yu Shangyan had also been possessed by a demon, so Xia Xiao did not think that the darkness and demonic energy around him must be caused by Hei Huang. But during the long period of thinking and struggling, Xia Xiao began to have a headache and tinnitus. He gave up thinking, as if he was falling from a height of thousands of miles. The wind around him kept whistling, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he couldn't catch his breath.
After all this torture, Xia Xiao, who was already injured, fell into a coma. He was so drowsy that it seemed like he was in a very light sleep. When he woke up, he carefully turned over and sat up, and began to look around.
There were small woods and streams, and the grass was green. Although there was frost, the wind was only slightly cool, not very cold. The sun had not risen completely in the morning, and only its head was visible. However, the height and the surrounding scenery made Xia Xiao sure that he was in the South. In fact, it didn't matter where he was, as long as it wasn't the Cloud Country.
Looking around, Xia Xiao curled his lips and said with a smile:
"It's really strange. You love Yun Country so much, why don't you go back by yourself?"
Wang Yaping had just woken up, and turned her head to look at Xia Xiao. There was no ripple on her frozen face, as if to say, "I don't love anything." There was still some numbness in her eyes, and she didn't say anything or leave.
Xia Xiao was not curious and prepared to go his own way. He brought Wang Yaping with him just to mess up Yun Country and piss off those old men. Now that he had escaped, he no longer had the idea of using his magic to devour the energy of living beings. Although he had entered the path of the devil and was still a devil, he could not kill innocent people and absorb the energy of people's lives. This was his family's advice, and he always remembered it.
Seeing Xia Xiao leaving, Wang Yaping said the first words she said to Xia Xiao.
"Where are you going?"
In fact, she didn't want to say it, but she didn't know where this was. Instead of asking someone else, she might as well ask Xia Xiao directly. Although she wanted to kill Xia Xiao, and Xia Xiao also wanted to kill her, her tone was very calm, as if nothing had happened.
"None of your business."
Xia Xiao didn't have much energy left in his body, and it was completely drained, but he still wanted to leave Wang Yaping first. He didn't like this dumb guy.
"Since you brought me out of Yun Country, you have to take me somewhere."
Wang Yaping followed behind Xia Xiao, and it seemed that she would always follow him. She had the strength to do so. Xia Xiao did not stop. He did not like people who did not have his own persistence and opinions. If he had not been in Yun Country to escape, he would definitely not have wasted time talking to Wang Yaping. Now that he had left, he changed his appearance with her and became a mute.
When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, Xia Xiao wanted to stop and rest, but he saw Wang Yaping following him, so he kept walking. She didn't say anything, as if she was forcing Xia Xiao, but Xia Xiao ignored her. She was not Ah Zhu, so he would not indulge her. If she wanted to follow him, she could follow him. He didn't care anyway.
In this way, Xia Xiao walked for a day, and she followed him for a day, without giving up. It was just a distance of ten steps, and no matter how fast or slow Xia Xiao walked, she was in control. Finally, when the sun was about to set, Wang Yaping lowered her head and said faintly:
“I want to see snow-capped mountains.”
Xia Xiao frowned, finally stopped and looked back at her.
