Crazy, really crazy.

Every time Wang Jinlong poured out his bitter words, Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing felt uneasy. If this continued, they would be finished. They just hoped that Lord Qingxunzi would not bear grudges and not vent his anger on the entire Yun Kingdom.

Seeing the pleading look in Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing's eyes, Qing Xunzi didn't care too much. Although in his eyes, Yunguo had brought it upon himself, but Xia Xiao was indeed wrong, so he just said angrily:

"Since you are pursuing me, I will not run away. After Xia Xiao became a demon, the Church of the First Martial Arts, the Ningshen Academy, the Qingtian Sect, the Adventurer's Guild, and even the Tanghua Temple all had things involving him, and they all tried to catch him. You should have seen Ah Zhu's ability, which can completely hide his aura. Coupled with the dark forces behind Xia Xiao, even if we try our best to find him, we can't catch him."

"Some people say that I and the academy are protecting Xia Xiao. I do have selfish motives and want to play the long game. But the Adventurer's Guild doesn't need to help Xia Xiao. Tanghua Temple is committed to exorcising demons, and Qingtian Sect hates Xia Xiao even more. If you think that it's my fault that I didn't keep Xia Xiao under control, we can hold a meeting. But as I said before, if you don't solve your own problems, how can others intervene?"

The last sentence was familiar to all three of them. Xia Xiao sometimes used the same tone, but Qing Xunzi was even colder than Xia Xiao, making them feel like they were locked in an ice cave.

"I know your Yun Nation was hurt, and you were willing to kill your disciples to seek peace, but you refused. When we met last time, I saw that your Yun Nation had lost practitioners, and I offered to help you, but you refused. Now that something has happened, you are shirking responsibility. Is this your Yun Nation's style of doing things? If I hadn't arrived in time and kept an eye on things here, the three of you would have died long ago."

With a cold snort, Qingxunzi flicked his sleeves, not intending to pursue the matter any further. Wang Yinlong immediately saluted and said:

"We were wrong. Please don't be angry, Your Holiness."

"I'm so sorry."

Wang Shixing apologized, and Wang Jinlong was bewildered. How could he not know that he was wrong? But how could he make up for this mistake? He couldn't face the people of Yun Country in such an embarrassed manner and say that Xia Xiao had not been killed, and they should all go back and rest. He really couldn't say this, and tears welled up in his old eyes. He looked at Qing Xunzi and asked:

"What about Xia Xiao?"

Wang Jinlong was so pitiful, but Qing Xunzi could not give an accurate answer, and only said:

"We will do our best to find it and return it to you."

"Who is that woman?"

"I don't know. She has appeared in our sight several times. Both the leader of the Qingtian Sect, Bai Dun, and the academy's Zuo Xiufang have fought with her, but they have not been able to pull her out of the darkness. The darkness of this world is far beyond our imagination. We don't know where she is hiding. We can only wait for her to show up on her own initiative."

Wang Jinlong's face was as cold as ice, while Qing Xunzi waved his hand and cleared a path that connected to the distant sky.

"Go back to your own country and stop sacrificing innocent people."

Wang Jinlong didn't want to leave. How should he tell the disciples of Yun Country about what happened? As he was struggling, he felt uncomfortable. A bloody smell rushed into his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood dyed his white hair and beard, and the ground under his feet red, but Qing Xunzi didn't stay for long. He just said calmly:

"Goodbye."

Qing Xunzi doesn't have much good feelings towards Yunguo, but he doesn't treat them differently, except for Wang Jinlong. He made the decision himself, so how can he blame others?

Knowing that Wang Yaping was still alive, Qingxunzi felt that Xia Xiao had done a good job in this matter, and he had also stuck to his original intention, otherwise not only would she die, but Wang Jinlong and the other two would also die. Xia Xiao maintained his nature in the dark, which was what Qingxunzi hoped and was indeed realized. Next, it depends on whether his dark trip goes smoothly.

Qing Xunzi no longer cared about the Yun people and disappeared on the spot. Wang Jinlong and the other two fell silent again. The Yun people kept coming forward, which made them feel ashamed. However, the captain of the Adventurer's Union took the opportunity to leave and met up with his team members to head south. They were extremely excited. They had fallen and had bruises before, but now they looked at each other with bright smiles and felt it was worth it. Ahead, a large sum of money was waving at them.

Sitting back in the church carriage, Qing Xunzi sighed slightly, prompting the steward to ask:

"Where did Xia Xiao go?"

"have no idea."

The steward paused while pouring the tea and looked at Qing Xunzi, as if he couldn't believe it. But he frowned and sat down, then said:

“I really don’t know.”

Qing Xunzi was originally worried about Xia Xiao's safety, so he changed his mind and didn't want him to be in the dark, so he started chasing him the moment he led Hei Huang out, hoping to catch him and achieve his goal. But he didn't expect that after he chased him to the Devil's Grassland, he saw a dark land.

That piece of heaven and earth was extremely strange. With his strength, he could neither illuminate nor see through it. He had no idea what was inside. What was even stranger was that Qing Xunzi had been to the northern part of the Devil's Grassland. There should have been an ocean there, a sea full of ice connected to the ice field not far away. When did that space appear?

After Qing Xunzi said this, he took a sip of tea. The manager lost his leisure time and boldly put forward his own ideas.

"Could it be a trick played by the dark forces?"

Qing Xunzi is recognized as the strongest in the Great Wilderness. There should be no trick that can deceive him, but the title of the strongest is only on the surface. For example, the sealed Emperor Junze and the King of Wild Beasts Quedan are stronger than him. And this is just the known range. The dark forces represented by Heihuang are still unknown, but there are definitely many powerful practitioners. Otherwise, how could the five major forces fail to find their traces in the many sweeps they have carried out in recent years?

"It's not a trick or an illusion, because I was pushed out of that space. Afterwards, I tried to rush in again, but I never succeeded. I only damaged it. Then it disappeared, leaving only a black mist that was difficult to disperse."

Touching his nose, Qing Xunzi showed an uncomfortable expression, and asked the steward what was wrong.

"The smell of the devil is strong. The stench in that space is so strong that it makes me sick. However, Xia Xiao is in there, but it is still a problem to find this ghostly space."

"The vitality mark left behind is useless?"

Qing Xunzi was cautious in his actions, so he would definitely leave an inconspicuous mark. He did leave one, but at this moment he nodded slightly and said with some regret:

"It was quickly devoured by the evil spirit. I was only able to track it to the ice field."

"Want to go there?"

Qingxunzi shook his head. It wouldn't stay there forever. What he cared about was not the ghost space at all. He was not interested in how many demons there were in it. Those guys would never be able to come to the fore and would never be able to overthrow the righteous path. They could only hide and wander in the darkness, struggling to survive. They couldn't find those people because they were trying their best to hide, not live. But what Qingxunzi was really worried about was Xia Xiao who entered it.

Xia Xiao was possessed by the devil and had initially mastered the devil's way. Now without Xuyun's relic, he could do the same as an ordinary person. But the task he shouldered was too heavy and too special. If he was really taken to another path, the consequences would be unimaginable. Qing Xunzi began to pray, but Xia Xiao did not feel better because what he saw in that space was very strange.
