The Brother Xiao that Zhou Tianhao mentioned was undoubtedly one of the seven prodigies, Xiao Wuque from the Evergreen Sect.
Moments ago, Xiao Wuque, Zhou Tianhao, Zhang Linger, and the other prodigies were fighting against the Painting Demon in the world inside the scroll painting.
The Giant Wood Technique that they used was terrifying and unique.
Like the other prodigies, they were at ease while fighting against the demon. Even when the crack in space appeared, they were still safe and sound. Even the Martial True Yuan in their bodies was not expended.
Who would have thought that Zhou Tianhao, Zhang Linger, and the other prodigies had already escaped from the world inside the scroll painting? Even the weaker disciples had successfully escaped.
Only Xiao Wuque was missing, his whereabouts unknown.
It was obvious that Brother Xiao was extremely powerful and his defensive techniques were shocking. There was no way that he could not pass through the crack in space and die in the world inside the scroll painting.
There was only one explanation now.
Xiao Wuque had been captured by the Kunlun Demon King like Bu Yuanba.
As for whether the Kunlun Demon King had acted personally or if there were other arrangements in the world inside the scroll painting, no one knew.
"Damn it, when did it happen …"
Zhou Tianhao, Li Yunxiao, and the other prodigies floated in the air, their expressions uncertain.
There was no longer the arrogance of a prodigy from the Supreme Sect in their eyes. Instead, they were filled with fear and uneasiness.
Xiao Wuque's strength was similar to that of the other prodigies.
Since the Kunlun Demon King could capture Xiao Wuque without anyone knowing, it naturally meant that the former also had the strength to capture them.
It was just that Xiao Wuque's luck was bad and he became the unlucky one among the six.
"Xiao Wuque … he really was captured by the Kunlun Demon King!"
"This is too much of a coincidence!"
Hearing this, Lin Buzheng's mouth opened wide in disbelief.
Not long ago, when Lin Buzheng returned to the main sect, he saw that Xiao Wuque had been harassing Lin Xinyue. He cursed in his heart and wished that Xiao Wuque would be captured by the Kunlun Demon King.
Lin Buzheng's wish had come true. Xiao Wuque had really been captured by the Kunlun Demon King. This made Lin Buzheng have a new understanding of his own jinx.
Zhou Tianhao, Xiao Wuque, Li Yunxiao, and the rest of the Heaven's Favorites led the elite disciples of the Evergreen County's four great clans here. They wanted to kill the Kunlun Demon Lord and save Bu Yuanba at the same time.
Not only did they fail to save Bu Yuanba, but they also lost another prodigy. At this moment, one could imagine how angry Zhou Tianhao, Xiao Wuque, and the other prodigies were.
"Before the crack in space appeared, I heard Xiao Wuque mention that the eye of the world inside the painting is most likely the Spiritual Wood of Heaven and Earth. It is very beneficial to the Evergreen Sect's cultivation technique.
"Maybe Xiao Wuque didn't escape from the world inside the painting because he wanted the Spiritual Wood of Heaven and Earth. He wasn't captured by the Kunlun Demon King."
In the next moment, Zhang Linger, one of the seven prodigies, thought of something and spoke.
"Xiao Wuque has a branch of the Evergreen Holy Tree on him. Although it doesn't have much offensive power, it has an incomparably shocking defense. It's enough for him to endure for a period of time in the air and obtain the tree."
"Hmph, he really wants the Spiritual Wood of Heaven and Earth more than his life."
Li Yunxiao humphed coldly and added in a tone full of disdain.
The power of space in space could form a spatial storm that could destroy everything. Even a Sage herb would be destroyed if it entered the storm.
However, the space after the world inside the painting was destroyed was not real space, but a small space in the Martial World. The power of the Sage herb was enough to protect Li Yunxiao for a while, allowing him to return to the real world safely after obtaining the Spiritual Wood of Heaven and Earth.
"Not good!"
"We've fallen for the Kunlun Demon King's trap!"
"Return to County Evergreen at once!"
At this moment, Zhou Tianhao suddenly thought of something and let out a roar. Without saying a word, he turned into a ray of light and flew toward the direction of the Evergreen County.
"I see!"
"The Kunlun Demon King's scheme is terrifying!"
Lin Buzheng, Lin Xinyue, and the other cultivators were originally thinking about the whereabouts of the missing Xiao Wuque.
Now that they heard Zhou Tianhao's exclamation, they thought for a while and immediately reacted. They did not have time to rest and rushed back to County Evergreen.
Right now, the Kunlun Demon King had just recovered from his serious injuries and did not have the strength to fight the Sky-prides head-on. Therefore, his focus was obviously not on Mount Emerald.
The Kunlun Demon King's move was obviously a trap to trap the six Sky-prides in the painting for a while, while his real body went to Evergreen County to take revenge on the cultivators who had participated in the ambush of the Camellia Banquet not long ago.
Not long ago, the cultivators who had participated in the ambush of the Kunlun Demon King were not only Zhou Tianhao, Li Yunxiao, and the other Sky-prides, but also the disciples of the Sect who had followed the Sky-prides, as well as the experts from the Wang family, the Lin family, the Honglei Dojo, and many other forces.
Right now, in order to kill the Kunlun Demon King as soon as possible, the few Sky-prides had gone into battle with light equipment. They had only brought a small portion of their people, and a large portion of their people had been left in County Evergreen.
If the Kunlun Demon King had sworn to kill all the cultivators who had ambushed him at the Camellia Banquet, then the major families in County Evergreen would have been bathed in blood.
Even the entire County Evergreen might have been massacred by the Kunlun Demon King!
"Faster!"
"Faster!"
At this moment, the cultivators at the scene were rushing back desperately. They wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly back to County Evergreen immediately.
"Is there a need to be so desperate?"
Lin Buzheng muttered. He came from Yongning City and was not a native of County Evergreen. In addition, after entering the main family, he had been cultivating outside the family, so he did not have a deep relationship with the main family.
However, the situation of the Lin family disciples at the scene was completely different from that of Lin Buzheng.
Most of them were disciples of the main family of the Lin family, especially Lin Xinyue. She was the daughter of the main family's head, Lin Yuntian. Her relationship with the main family was naturally far beyond that of Lin Buzheng.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
At this moment, more than a hundred cultivators on Mount Emerald followed the flight path of Li Yunxiao, Zhou Tianhao, and the other Sky-prides. They rushed with all their might and in a short while, they finally arrived at County Evergreen.
"It's still alright."
Lin Buzheng looked at the city on the horizon.
At the entrance of the city, people came and went. A river meandered towards the horizon, and small boats floated back and forth on the river.
The scenery of County Evergreen did not look any different from before.
Clearly, the Kunlun Demon King was not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. He did not vent his anger at being ambushed and his Demonic Servants and Demonic Generals on the innocent cultivators of County Evergreen.
"Is this … a fire?"
"Why are there four billowing pillars of smoke in the sky above the main city?"
