"Han Xiao, I heard they say that you are fine." Just as Han Xiao was about to continue talking about the alliance, the main door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and an excited Xiao Moke ran in.
Seeing Xiao Mo Ke's excited look, Han Xiao rubbed his nose and said, "Mm, I'm fine now, Xiao Mo Ke, what are you doing?"
"Han Xiao, Principal Leng has woken up." Xiao Moke said excitedly.
"What?" Hearing Xiao Moke's words, Han Xiao's face was filled with joy. He didn't bother to talk with Han Xiangtian and the others as he hastily followed Xiao Moke back to the cultivation room.
Han Xiao, who was pushing open the door to the cultivation room, saw Xiao Ke Er looking around at Leng Qing He, constantly muttering to herself. On the other hand, Leng Qing He revealed a rare helpless expression as she said something to Xiao Ke Er.
"Master, you're okay." Han Xiao saw that Leng Qing He's body was no longer covered in blood, but was filled with excitement and excitement.
"With a grade nine saint pill like the Yang Ming Pill, it would be hard for me to have anything to do. Han Xiao, I see that your Qi has become much stronger than before. It seems that you have improved again." Leng Qinghe said.
"My aura is stronger than a few days ago?" Han Xiao said in surprise, he himself had not noticed it at all.
Seeing Han Xiao's surprised expression, Leng Qinghe knew that Han Xiao himself had not noticed, "Come back and feel it yourself." After saying that, Leng Qinghe's expression turned serious as he thought about Wen Zhenghua, "That's right, Han Xiao, what actions has the Devil Shadow Sect taken?"
"The day Wen Zhenghua died, the Devil Shadow Sect sent out a message saying that Wen Zhenghua had betrayed the Devil Shadow Sect and was currently being hunted down by a bounty. The Devil Shadow Sect's people who were planted in the Cloud Ming Dynasty were either dead or missing." Han Xiao said with a serious face.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, how could Leng Qinghe not have thought of the crux of the matter? His expression immediately turned cold, and he turned around to leave the bed.
"Teacher Leng, are you going to the Devil Shadow Sect?" Seeing Leng Qing He's actions, Xiao Ke Er was the first to run over to her and extend her hand out to block Leng Qing He's path.
"Yes, Wen Zhenghua is dead. That corpse that accompanied him also self-destructed. If you want any leads, you have to go to the Devil Shadow Sect." Leng Qinghe said coldly, and when he said the word "living corpse," his body emitted a strong killing intent that caused Xiao Ke Er to unconsciously take two steps back.
Master, I think that going to the Devil Shadow Sect is not the right decision. Firstly, all the people who know about the internal affairs of the sect have either died or disappeared, and secondly, the Devil Shadow Sect has no proof to testify against the Devil Shadow Sect. Secondly, the fact that the Devil Shadow Sect dared to announce their civil and political mutiny at this time must have been a good plan. Han Xiao glanced at Xiao Ke Er as he took a step forward and said.
Hearing Han Xiao's words, Leng Qinghe calmed down. What Han Xiao said was right, now was not the best time to go to the Demon Shadow Sect, and he himself would be fine.
As he thought of this, Leng Qinghe's killing intent gradually weakened, and Han Xiao and the other two let out a breath, afraid that Leng Qinghe would ignore the Devil Shadow Sect. Han Xiao, who was also one of them, also had a trace of doubt in his heart, from that day to today, Leng Qinghe's performance was incongruous with his usual calmness, could it be that he had some past conflicts with the people of the Devil Realm, or perhaps he had some past conflicts with the Corpse Demons? Han Xiao silently thought in his heart.
"Han Xiao, that Han Zhao?" Leng Qinghe asked.
"Han Zhao's corpse was found by Prince Yun's men a kilometer away from the royal father's palace. His skull was completely shattered, and all the bones in his body were broken." Han Xiao said.
'I had the feeling that someone was watching me from behind the scenes the other day, but it seems like I wasn't mistaken. Hearing Lu Chen's words, Leng Qinghe said softly.
Hearing Leng Qinghe's words, Han Xiao confirmed in his heart that there was someone else present that day, but there was no way to determine who that person was.
After calming his heart, Leng Qinghe faintly looked at Han Xiao and the other two and said, "Han Xiao, the matter with you should have been resolved by now. You three should also prepare to return to the academy, especially Xiao Mo Ke, even if you and Han Zhao are not the same, Southern Night Shadow Academy, even if I have a good relationship with your Principal, I can't protect you this time. Furthermore, not only did you guys not return to attend class, but you guys have to run away for the first time since the inception of the Abyss Academy."
"Teacher Leng, we are also worried about Han Xiao, since you are our Principal, please spare us this time." Xiao Ke Er held onto Leng Qinghe's sleeve as she spoke.
She indifferently reached out her hand to pull out her sleeve from Xiao Ke Er's grasp and said, "No, it's precisely because I'm your Dean that I can't spare you. Han Xiao, I'll allow you to delay for three more days. Three days later, the three of you will follow me to the Western Gorge to bring Xi Yun and Zhao Xiang back to the academy." After she finished speaking, Leng Qinghe saw that Xiao Ke Er still wanted to say directly, "This is my last warning to all of you. If you dare to speak any more, then come back with me right now." With that, Leng Qinghe turned around and left the cultivation room, leaving Han Xiao and the rest with depressed expressions on their faces.
"Ah, Teacher Leng is known for her cold face. This time, she will definitely punish us severely." Xiao Ke Er said in distress after seeing Leng Qinghe leave.
"There are four of you, so I'm alone. When the time comes, who knows how that old devil will torture me." Shomoku said with a glum look on his face.
Seeing the two people like this, Han Xiao said, "If worst comes to worst, when we get back to the academy, I will take all of your punishments. Right now, I have a headache on how to deal with things in the imperial court, and how to talk about alliances with Xi Yun."
On the other hand, Han Xiao directly went to Han Xiangtian to tell Han Xiangtian about his plans to return to the Abyss Academy. Although Han Xiangtian didn't want Han Xiao to leave at this time, seeing Leng Qinghe's resolute attitude, he could only let the four of them adjust, and then explain some things to Han Xiao before letting Han Xiao leave.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Although they were worried about the punishment they would receive when they returned, Han Xiao and the other two obediently followed Leng Qinghe as they left the Imperial City and flew towards the western gorge.
Along the way, Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Mo Ke both intentionally tried to curry favor with Leng Qing He. The former hoped that Leng Qing He could reduce the punishment; the former hoped that Leng Qing He could help him speak up for him, but Leng Qing He was known for being cold faced. Even after many times of being spoiled by Xiao Ke'er, Leng Qing He wasn't able to speak up to her.
In order to speed up, Lu Chen directly brought out the Cloud Boat he bought from the auction house. Along the way, a few people rode on small boats at a comfortable pace, and their speed was also two times faster than Xiao Ke'er and Xiao Moke. Originally, it took them a month and a half to travel on the Cloud Boat, but it took them 25 days to reach there, so the Western Gorge was now very different from three months ago.
"It seems like Xiao Wei has put in a lot of effort in the past few months." Han Xiao looked at the soldiers training below and said with satisfaction.
"Eh, isn't that Xi Yun and his Cloud Army over there? Are they over there, watching the show?" Xiao Mo Ke looked at Xi Yun and Yun Jun who were standing on the other side.
"Let's take a look over there." After Han Xiao finished speaking, he controlled the Cloud Boat to slowly descend in front of Xi Yun and Yun Jun.
At first, he thought that someone was attacking, but when he raised his head, he saw that it was Han Xiao and the rest who had jumped down from a wooden boat.
"Han Xiao, but, Dean Leng, why are you also here?" After seeing Leng Qing He, Xi Yun could not help but be stunned on the spot. He had not expected Leng Qing He to appear together with Han Xiao and the rest.
"After Master received your sound transmission, he rushed to the Cloud Ming Dynasty to help us get rid of Wen Zhenghua and his corpse companion. He came this time to let you and Zhao Xiang follow him back to the academy." Han Xiao took a step forward and said.
Hearing Han Xiao's words, Xi Yun immediately understood the purpose of Leng Qing He's visit. Thinking about the fact that he had been here for quite some time, he turned his head and said to Xuanyuan Yi, "Since it's like this, Xuanyuan Yi, you should gather your men and prepare to return to the imperial palace."
"Wait a minute, Xi Yun, this is an alliance signed by my father. Let Xuanyuan Songcheng take it back with them, the alliance says that if the Yunming Dynasty cannot become a superior dynasty in ten years, then they will voluntarily belong to the Ao Sky Emperor Empire and become a subsidiary dynasty of the Ao Sky Emperor. This can also be considered as an explanation for bringing the Yun Army over." Han Xiao said as he took out a jade cylinder.
He solemnly took the jade tube that Han Xiao passed to him and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything and hugged Han Xiao tightly.
"Xi Yun, I know you haven't seen me for the past few months, but you don't need to hold me here." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Han Xiao." Hearing Han Xiao's words, Xi Yun released Han Xiao and turned around, handing the jade cylinder to Xuanyuan Yi. He said, "Xuanyuan, this is the attitude of the Yunming Empire. You must keep it safe."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xuan Yuan said respectfully.
After he finished explaining, Han Xiao turned around and glanced at the group of Xuan Sheng, who was running over to him. Before he could even open his mouth, he heard Leng Qinghe say, "I'll give you two hours to settle this. As for Xi Yun, go and call Zhao Xiang over, we'll return to the academy in two hours."
"Yes." With that, Han Xiao turned around and ran towards Xuan Sheng's direction.
