As Qingxunzi waved his hand, Xia Xiao wanted to resist, but before he could say a word, he suddenly fell to one side, his eyes filled with anger gradually losing their luster. Xiaoran reached out and took him into his arms, and Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu stood up immediately, holding him in their arms amid the clanging of armor, and looked at Qingxunzi, waiting for his instructions.

The two famous generals of Daxia behaved extremely humbly in front of these big men at this time, but in terms of status and strength, they really should do so.

"Take him to rest. I will have someone send him some elixir later so he can absorb it and recover."

"Thank you, Your Holiness."

After receiving the Pope's gift, Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu suddenly bent their right knees to express their gratitude when they handed Xia Xiao back to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran squatted slightly, lowered her cheeks, and then followed Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu out of the hall.

Xia Xiao had been gone for several months, and the news he brought back was indeed valuable, but it was hard to know what was trustworthy and what was not. Therefore, someone on the scene raised doubts, although small and obscure, but it made Qing Xunzi determined:

"Don't leave yet. Let's take this opportunity to discuss how to deal with them."

"But Your Holiness, can we really believe everything Xia Xiao said?"

This is something that many people are worried about, and Wang Jinlong is not the only one who wants to say this. But he looked at Qing Xunzi and listened to him:

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

"Xia Xiao and I have personal grudges. Putting that aside, he is also a person who has been possessed by the devil. Maybe his heart is in the light, but since the devil has allowed him to come back, I'm afraid it's not as simple as asking him to pass on the message. Otherwise, for a strong man like that, it wouldn't be difficult to transmit the message over a thousand miles."

"Do you suspect Xia Xiao was sent by the Dark Demonic Sect?"

In front of a master, it is obviously not good to be suspicious of his disciples, but Wang Jinlong knew that Qingxunzi would not act rashly, so he was so bold. Sure enough, in front of the world, Qingxunzi did not show even a little anger because of Wang Jinlong's nod, but analyzed it from a more objective perspective.

"I understand what you mean. This worry is not without reason, but I know Xia Xiao and I know that every word he says is true. You can rest assured and don't have to be afraid of him. Although he has fallen into the devil's way, he is still my disciple and a student of the academy. Such a person will not pose a threat to the world, so instead of guarding against Xia Xiao, the messenger of light who brings the hope of the world into the dark adventure, we should think more about how to eliminate the darkness."

"Regarding Xia Xiao's matter, the Pope and I have to come out and make it clear. His possession of the devil was indeed beyond our expectations, but he was framed by the devil and did not fall into it voluntarily or willingly. Xia Xiao did not sit and wait for death, nor did he accept his fate. Instead, he threw himself into the darkness. Although it is not advisable and should not be imitated, his intentions were not wrong. I hope everyone will pay attention. He is still a member of my academy."

Perhaps everyone didn't expect that the taciturn vice president would be so direct in protecting Xia Xiao, so they were a little surprised. But the college has always been protecting Xia Xiao, and now that he has cleared his name, they should stand up. It is indeed shocking that someone can be valued by two major forces, but when Wang Jinlong heard this, he felt angry.

"I have something to say!"

Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing wanted to stop Wang Jinlong. He looked very old and seemed to be at the end of his life. If he spoke at this time, he would only bring trouble upon himself. The Pope and the Vice-President had both made their intentions clear. If he didn't know what was going on and didn't keep his mouth shut, he would be the only one who would suffer in the end. But Wang Jinlong didn't want to endure it any longer and asked loudly:

"So, you two have always known about what Xia Xiao did after he fell into the devil's way?"

"right."

Qing Xunzi looked at Wang Jinlong with a cold face. The latter's face turned red and he asked again:

"Then why didn't you stop him when he was hurting our Yun Kingdom? Do you know how many people in Yun Kingdom were killed or injured? And last time in Zhenxun, you kept saying you wanted to kill Xia Xiao, but was it just a show?"

Wang Jinlong is a real warrior who can even say such a word as show. Everyone was amazed, but also thought he was stupid. In peacetime, Qing Xunzi would not be angry about such words in order not to provoke a war, but now it is so special. As the head of the Great Wilderness, how can he tolerate such provocation?

"First, I let Xia Xiao travel through the wilderness because I trusted him, and he didn't let me down and didn't kill any innocent creatures. After he went to Yun Country, the fault was yours, so I naturally wouldn't stop him. Moreover, most of the casualties in your Yun Country were caused by the Black Huang, and Xia Xiao just lured it out. Let me ask you, if he wants to enter the darkness, what else can he do except lure it out? If it was as simple as diving into the sea, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"You're just putting on a show, even in Devil's Plains!"

"Zhenxun, I did sense your intentions that time, so I did that. But outside the Devil's Plain, I really can't catch that demon. You also heard before that Hei Huang killed Bai Dun. I am only slightly stronger than Bai Dun. Do you think I can catch him in their territory? If I am that powerful, how could the demon be hidden until now?"

Qing Xunzi sat there calmly. Although he seemed to be making a point, his aura was strong. What could a small country like Yun do to him? Many kings thought that Wang Jinlong was ignorant. The matter was in the past. Moreover, the war was tense and Xia Xiao had made great contributions. Insisting again and again would only make things worse. However, Wang Jinlong spoke without hesitation:

"Humph, you are the strongest person in the Great Wilderness! As long as you want, is there anyone you can't find?"

This irritable tone made Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing secretly afraid. They tried to pull Wang Jinlong and tried to close the talisman formation, but the latter's vitality pushed it open. At such a long distance, even if he was arrogant, what would it matter? If Qingxunzi got angry, they would be embarrassed. But he was careless. Although Qingxunzi's tone was a little cold, he was still far from angry.

"That's just a label you put on me. I never admitted it."

"But I want to ask for an explanation today. Last time you promised me that when I see Xia Xiao again, you will hand him over to me personally."

"Yes, but not now. Any cultivator now can help us fight against the darkness of the devil, and only he can communicate with the darkness of the devil. If he dies, are you willing to fall into the darkness of the devil and talk to Hei Huang who killed his brothers and sisters? I think you don't have the courage nor the strength to control the devil's energy."

"I am not as good as your apprentice, but in the end, you still broke your promise."

"Yes."

Qing Xunzi was never afraid to admit anything, and there would always be someone to speak up for him. Liao Sai, the head of the church, was about to speak, but Si Yi in the hall spoke first:

"Elder Yun, now is the time to discuss matters, and you know how important Xia Xiao is right now. How about you calm down for now and talk about Xia Xiao and Yun Kingdom later?"

"What's it to you?"

“Brother!”

Wang Yinlong shouted, but was pushed away by the vital energy and fell beside the palace.

The old Wang Jinlong stood in front of the talisman array, baring his teeth and glaring at others. He had been like a madman since Xia Xiao escaped from Yun Country. He should not show this side of himself in front of the world. Therefore, Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing attacked together, but their vitality was blocked by his hands. They stood in front of the talisman array with disheveled hair.

"Elder Yun, you have disturbed the order of the meeting. Please be quiet."

As Daxia's mortal enemy, Si Yi had spoken, so how could the Emperor of Nanshang say nothing? However, with this statement, the other four countries also expressed their views one after another, and the nine forces sat still, with only shouting in their ears.

"The people of the world are all deceiving our Yun Kingdom, and no one in the world will die a good death."

This was a bit exaggerated. Suddenly, a stream of energy appeared in the side hall, causing everyone to raise their arms to block in front of them. These energy emanated from Qingxunzi's body. Even if it was a clone, few people present could ignore it. Even Guan Zhongyi, who had the strength of the Tao, looked at him in shock. He had never known Qingxunzi's strength. He only heard from the senior sister that he was very strong. He didn't expect him to be this strong.

"cough--"

Wang Jinlong spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his thin white hair. When he was full of disbelief, the strong wind in the side hall had subsided, and everyone's flying robes fell. But his awe of Qing Xunzi increased to a higher level, and he immediately regarded him as a god.

As early as when the Cloud Country appeared in front of everyone, they knew the general location of the Cloud Country. It was a closed land between Daxia and the Southern Country, thousands of miles away from here. Now it is still in the cloud layer, but it was easily injured by Qingxunzi, which shows how strong it is. That level is difficult for people present to touch.

Moreover, Qingxunzi in the side hall at this time was just a clone, and his real body was even farther away from Yun Country. It was really terrifying that a clone could escape thousands of miles away and injure one person. So when he spoke again, no one dared to move, and even held their breath to listen.

"We can't waste any more time. It would be best if your country sends someone with a good temper."

Wang Jinlong was pushed aside by the vitality, subdued outside the Fuzhen camera, and then locked in a space cage with ripples. Wang Shixing looked at him with disappointment in his eyes, while Wang Yinlong appeared in front of everyone and said apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, please continue the meeting."

This kind of change is normal, Qing Xunzi's state is no different from before. The momentum of such a big shot is really different from that of ordinary people. He was not irritated or angry, but just said very calmly:

"Everyone, we don't have much time now, so I suggest that we first gather the practitioners who can participate in the war and reorganize the army so that they can be deployed everywhere at any time. As for Xia Xiao's previous proposal, I hope everyone will think about whether it is feasible. This matter is too big, and I hope everyone will do their best."

Qing Xunzi's proposal was temporarily an order, and all countries and forces knew what to do, but no one said a word about the battle plan.

"Although what Xia Xiao said before was a bit risky, I think it's feasible. With your vitality wrapping, he can definitely protect his life. Can't we let him try? We should be grateful to have such a brave man. And like he said, even if there is only a slight possibility, we have to try, otherwise more people will die."

"I can go back and let the water tank gather the aura of the current sea beasts. I can let him go with Xia Xiao and smell the scent of the current sea beasts. His hostility will probably dissipate."

"Why are you so persistent?"

Qing Xunzi seemed a little lost. The vice president didn't understand why this old man was so emotional. He had lived for more than 30,000 years. What else could he not see through? So he answered:

"Because of you, the error tolerance rate is very high. We have to try as long as there is a possibility. You also know that if the Emperor of the Beginning really launches a fatal attack on humans, we will not be able to cope with it. He alone can hold you and me back. The huge waves that are set off are difficult for Long Xiong to deal with. The scope is so wide that the entire Great Wilderness World and the land will be annihilated."

Sighing, Qingxunzi looked sad, looking out the palace gate, as if looking at the blue sky above. He hesitated, and quietly expressed his dilemma:

"In more than 30,000 years, I have only accepted two disciples, who are also my children. One of them died to help Xia Xiao walk the right path. I don't want him to make any more mistakes."
