"Where is he?"
A sense of pride rose in her heart, and Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes.
"He's in the mountain stream to the north," Hu Xiao replied.
"Lead the way!"
Hu Xiao's cheeks twitched. "He's too powerful. I'm afraid that we might be in danger if we head there!"
"With me around, no one will be able to touch a single hair on you," Zhao Ya said with a cold glint in her eyes.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Hu Xiao led the way forward with an excited look on his face.
Not too long later, they arrived at the location where they had found the Condensed Earth Essence.
All that was left on the spot were the injured God Kings. Upon seeing Hu Xiao's return, their eyes widened in fear.
"Where did the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies go?" Zhao Ya asked calmly.
"He left with Conferred God King Ao. We don't know anything about it …"
The crowd replied.
It was not that they were trying to hide the truth, but they had not heard the conversation between Zhang Xuan and Ao Feng, so they had no idea where they had gone.
Not expecting that they would have already left, Hu Xiao panicked. Just as he was about to continue asking the others where they had gone, the young lady beside him suddenly noticed something, and her body began to tremble. "It hasn't been too long, so they shouldn't have gone too far …"
"Do you know the name of the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies?"
The young lady asked.
"I don't know either … I think his surname is Zhang, and some people call him Zhang Shi," one of the God Kings replied.
The two of them were Conferred God Kings, so no one dared to offend them.
"Zhang …" Coming to a realization, Zhao Ya heaved a sigh of relief. Calming her agitated heart, she turned to Hu Xiao and said, "Tell me how the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies snatched your Condensed Earth Essence."
"Ah …" Not expecting Zhang Xuan to ask about the details of the matter instead of avenging him, he felt a little awkward.
He had taken advantage of Zhang Xuan's perilous state to snatch the Condensed Earth Essence, only to be robbed instead.
"Tell me what happened earlier …" Seeing that Hu Xiao was unwilling to speak, Zhao Ya pointed to the God King who had spoken earlier.
"Yes!" The God King dared not refute Zhang Xuan's words, so he quickly recounted everything that had happened earlier.
"Is he speaking the truth?" Zhao Ya turned to Hu Xiao and asked impassively.
"This … is the truth! There are no rules in the Flooding Sea, and it's a place where the strong prey on the weak. I'm only working for the God Monarch … "Hu Xiao hurriedly explained, but before he could finish his words, his vision suddenly darkened. Following which, he saw a palm descending upon his face.
Bang!
His body landed heavily on the ground, and he felt dizzy.
"God Monarch Zhao Ya, what do you mean by this? Let's talk things out …"
Hu Xiao was about to lose his mind.
Was he sick? Beating someone up before he could finish his sentence?
No matter what, we're on the same side. Even if you're trying to steal something, you can't hit me, right?
Bang! Bang!
Paying no heed to Hu Xiao's nonsense, Zhao Ya launched palm after palm strike at him. Hu Xiao tried to retaliate, but he was unable to do so. In the blink of an eye, he was already severely injured, and blood spurted from his mouth.
As he vomited blood, tears streamed down his cheeks …
Didn't you say that as long as you're here, no one can harm a single hair on my body?
In the end, it was not someone else who wanted to hurt me, but you who wanted to kill me …
The God Monarchs below glanced at one another in bewilderment.
They thought that they would be plundered once more after Hu Xiao found a backer, but in the end, it turned out that his backer was the one who beat him up instead?
Furthermore, it was so decisive and vicious, showing no signs of mercy at all …
What in the world happened?
Who am I? Where am I? What's my name …
Everyone was completely at a loss as to what to do.
"I'm weaker than you, so I have no qualms about killing me. However, the God Monarch has instructed you to take care of me. Why are you doing this? Even if you want to kill me, you should at least give me a reason!"
Hu Xiao's entire body was swollen, and he felt as if he was about to be pummeled to death.
How aggrieved!
I didn't ask you to come here to exact vengeance on me for fun …
"Reason? Actually, I should have thought of it long ago … "Zhao Ya stopped what she was doing, and a fiery passion surfaced in her eyes." That Conferred God King of the Nine Skies … is my teacher! "
Other than her teacher, who else could have caused such a huge ruckus?
She had thought that she would be able to cultivate faster than her teacher in the Spacetime Mirror, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like she had underestimated her teacher.
He was still as monstrous as ever!
In just a short month, he had become a Conferred God King of the Nine Skies …
Unbelievable!
"Your teacher?" Hu Xiao spurted another mouthful of blood. "Conferred God King Zhao Ya, are you saying that he once gave you pointers?"
"That's right! The reason why I was able to improve so quickly is due to the foundation that my teacher laid for me. Without my teacher, I wouldn't be who I am today … "
Zhao Ya looked at Hu Xiao and said, "Oh, and you wouldn't be like Zheng Yang, Lu Chong, Wang Ying, Wei Ruyan, Zhang Jiuxiao, Kong Shiyao, Liu Yang, Yuan Tao, Dan Xiaotian, and Bai Ruanqing …"
"They are Conferred God Kings whom God Monarch Zhuoyang, Demon Monarch Qiankun, and the others have paid a heavy price to groom … How could they be related to the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies?" Hu Xiao was dumbfounded.
It was already inconceivable that you were his student, so how could you be related to him?
"We are all his students," Zhao Ya said.
"He is the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies, and his eleven students are all top-notch Conferred God Kings of the Firmament …" Hu Xiao cried.
At this moment, he finally understood why he had been pummeled so viciously by the other party.
It was fortunate that he had told Zhao Ya about it in advance. If Zheng Yang and the other Conferred God Kings were to learn of it, they would have killed him on the spot.
What the heck was this?
Initially, when everyone said that Hu Xiao could become the next Heaven Subjugation Monarch, he had thought nothing of it. After all, the Nine God Monarchs would not allow him to live.
At the very least, Zhao Ya and the others would have to fight him.
But from the looks of it now, not only was Hu Xiao able to live a good life, he was even living a comfortable life.
He was the strongest beneath the God Monarchs, and he had eleven powerful students under his command. It seemed like he would be able to claim the entire Flooding Sea for himself.
"You should have heard what I said earlier. That Conferred God King of the Nine Skies is my teacher. Can you tell me where they went?"
Ignoring Hu Xiao's expression, Zhao Ya turned to the crowd.
"They …" One of the Conferred God Kings hesitated for a moment before pointing in a certain direction. "They went in that direction!"
"Thank you!"
Without another word, Zhao Ya grabbed Hu Xiao's tail, which had already been beaten into a tiger shape, and strode forward.
She was going to meet her teacher soon …
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became.
Hanging upside down in the air, Hu Xiao finally understood what was going on. The reason why the other party had beaten him up was to ask about his teacher's whereabouts. If they were to meet their teacher, he would probably be beaten up as well.
If only I had known that this would happen, I would have obediently gone to look for other treasures. Yet, not only did I fail to exact my vengeance, I was even pummeled repeatedly …
God Monarch Zhang Xuan had instructed Conferred God King Zhao Ya to take care of him. Back then, he had been very happy about it.
But now, he suddenly felt that he did not want her to take care of him anymore … Could he go back on his words?
