After suffering from pain, Wang Yaping usually needs several hours, or even a whole night or day, to wake up. But today, she woke up in just a moment, which is rare. She couldn't move freely, but turned her head with difficulty, and made an obscure and unpleasant sound in her throat. I don't know what she was saying, but it sounded like a call.

The place where her eyes were looking was a few steps behind her. The snow there was smooth and there were no footprints, as if Xia Xiao had never stood there. Did he leave, or did he not come back? Wang Yaping didn't know, because she soon fell into a deep coma again. But the next time she woke up, she would know that Xia Xiao did leave, but he came back and left her a valuable gift. That gift could not be touched but was real, and it was called freedom.

When Jian Qiu met up with Wang Jinlong, he went to the snow mountain to search again, but found nothing. Only the disciples of the Earth King Hall were practicing in various places in the mountains, which almost caused a misunderstanding. They had different opinions. Jian Qiu felt that Xia Xiao was gone, he saw it with his own eyes, but Wang Jinlong vaguely felt that it was not the case, so he searched the surroundings.

Seeing the elder's haggard face full of wrinkles, how could he still look like a sage in the past? Jian Qiu sighed secretly, but even if Xia Xiao didn't leave, they couldn't find him.

Extremely thick snow covered a simple underground rattan house. Xia Xiao inside completely restrained his breath and looked at the snow scene outside through the special window above his head.

The window facing the sky was actually a hole, as wide as Xia Xiao's arm, which caused countless snowflakes to fall towards Xia Xiao's raised face. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but he didn't know where to go. It wasn't a good thing that Hei Huang and Que Dan couldn't get in touch. He vaguely felt that something had happened, but such an accident was obviously not conducive to his sneaking into the darkness.

The darkness is like the snow around him. It seems not much, but it is actually confusing. There is no telling how many people there are in the darkness, and the danger is hard to predict, just like the snow. It is unknown whether the covered area is dangerous. Xia Xiao is a cultivator who can walk on the snow without sinking, but it is difficult to maintain that ability in the dark.

Xia Xiao released his melancholy to the fullest because he was alone. He had never been like this before when he was with Wang Yaping, but now he could not suppress it. After all, there are not a few people like this. They seem to be fine, can mingle with the crowd, can chat with anyone, have strong communication skills, and are very interesting. But when the people around them disappear, the smile on his face will disappear, and he will fall into deep thought, as if falling into a different abyss.

Snowflakes froze on Xia Xiao's hair and eyebrows, and a few drops of crystal hung on his eyelashes, as cold as his face, like real ice, which could not be replaced by other words. Xia Xiao made himself as calm as the outside environment, which was something he could do without any effort. He always watched the snowflakes falling from the sky, watching them turn and admire their dancing posture, letting them fall into the center of his pupils and gradually turn into a drop of extremely cold water.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. As Xia Xiao kept thinking, he gradually forgot what had happened in the past few days, and he no longer thought about what would happen to Wang Yaping in the future. He was simply relieving himself and venting his anger, so that he would not think too much and just concentrate on doing what he had to do next. And if he wanted to do it well, he had to have a plan. Just thinking about it without clear steps would not lead to success.

The repeated simulations made Xia Xiao realize what he had to face. He had not yet reached the Heavenly Mountain, so he did not need to consider the brand. He did not need to think about who had rescued him from the Cloud Country. Besides Yu Shangyan, it was Hei Huang. No matter what their purpose was, what he should do now was to sneak into the darkness, find out about them, and then wipe them out.

Xia Xiao used the Cloud Country to disguise himself. Their pursuit would allow Xia Xiao to get closer to the darkness and blend in more easily. If Hei Huang was hard to find, then he would go to the Devil Plain in the north. He didn't believe that he couldn't find that guy. After clarifying these, Xia Xiao's expression was finally not as cold as Han Bing. His slightly moving face caused the thin ice on it to crack and fall with the accumulated snow.

The previously dim luster finally brightened up in Xia Xiao's no longer dull eyes. He saw a beam of light, with snowflakes, shining into the dark rattan house from outside.

In this light, Xia Xiao could appreciate the beauty and purity of the snow better than outside. There was not a single impurity in it. It fell slowly, and was full of beauty as it rolled.

But in this beauty that could not be disturbed, the breath of several people passed over the jungle where Xia Xiao was. Xia Xiao did not react immediately, but slowly closed the window. The entrance of the cave was blocked by the growing vines, causing both their breath and body to disappear on the surface of the wilderness, which made the people in the sky very distressed.

"Notify everyone to stay where they are and wait until the heavy snow stops before searching."

Jian Qiu received the order and understood what to do, but Wang Jinlong stood high in the air and was not ready to leave. Jian Qiu looked at him, a little confused, but he looked at the ground with great determination. Although he had no focus, he kept scanning and seemed to see his figure.

"He is within a ten-mile radius. Although he has concealed his aura and used the natural environment to hide himself, he still has the stench of the devil on him. I can't be mistaken."

Jian Qiu nodded slightly, and did not leave the Great Elder's Qi control surface. He still stood beside him, looking at the ground through the dense snow, waiting for Xia Xiao to show up. But he did not show up, like a rabbit hiding under the snow, knowing that there were cunning foxes and wolves outside, so he waited motionlessly for them to give up or find another place to ambush.

The heavy snow hindered his perception. Xia Xiao restrained his vitality and his perception range was extremely narrow, so he was not sure where Wang Jinlong was, but the fluctuation in the previous moment must be him. Only those who were looking for themselves would pass through this wilderness. He lay in the snow pile of Tengwu and fell asleep on it. In heavy snow, besides hot pot, the only thing suitable for sleeping is sleeping. He couldn't have a hot meal now, but he could still get a good night's sleep.

The fox and the wolf stared at the land intently, but the rabbit ignored them tacitly and slept a good sleep that he hadn't enjoyed for a long time. When he woke up, he felt a little cool, so he used a big fire to evaporate the snow in an instant, making the vine house extremely dry. He slept soundly, ignoring the shaking of the earth, and only thought about completing these things as soon as possible so that he could return to normal life. But after this, there are other things. In short, the climax of the story will not start easily, nor will it end easily.

It was still snowing heavily, and it was the New Year, so this was the right thing to do. However, when the western plateau of Daxia was completely covered with ice and snow and turned into a vast expanse of white, he, who had finished gathering his strength, should also take action. He had come to this day relying on his keen sense of smell and intuition, so he walked to the ground openly and stretched his body.

The blizzard has stopped, the sun is shining, and everything is bright because of the snow. Xia Xiao is in a very good mood. He looks at the frozen branches, and sees a few pine cones falling on the snow, which are picked up by squirrels and run back to their holes. After resting enough, it's time to start working. Xia Xiao spreads his wings and heads north.

At this time, Wang Jinlong and Jian Qiu had left, but suddenly stopped in the distance. The elder has been acting nervous recently. Was this old man with white beard and snowy hair upset because of Wang Yaping's matter, or did he really have a new discovery? Jian Qiu didn't have much hope. The elder had always been like this in the past few days, but he didn't get anything. It was hard to find someone in this weather, let alone that cunning and outrageous Xia Xiao.

In Jian Qiu's opinion, Xia Xiao had already escaped, but the Great Elder suddenly exclaimed that something was wrong. Jian Qiu was led by him and followed the Great Elder through space, quickly heading in the original direction. The sound of breaking wind beside his ears made his cheeks cold and slightly painful, and he asked:

"Discovered anything?"

"He was in the same area as before. What a Xia Xiao! I shook the earth but failed to scare him out. I thought it was his trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but the faint smell of evil aura was him. My intuition was right!"

Jian Qiu was silent, reviewing his own shortcomings, because he saw a hole in the ground, and inside was a rattan house. It had obviously been shaken, but when Wang Jinlong exerted his strength, Xia Xiao was sleeping inside. Xia Xiao left it and used it to slap them in the face, with a crisp and loud sound.

It seems that I can't use normal thinking when facing Xia Xiao.
