On the plains, a red steed galloped as if it was flying. In this flat environment, the galloping of a fierce horse was undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery.
Finally, the horse slowed down. The rider on the horse gently comforted the red silk horse that seemed to have not yet fully enjoyed itself.
The riders on the horse were naturally He Yiming and Yuan Lixun.
After killing the group of Kai Rong Kingdom's elite soldiers disguised as bandits, He Yiming no longer paid any attention to Xu Su and the others and left without consulting them.
As for Yuan Lixun and 108, they naturally followed closely behind.
They no longer had any interest in moving forward, so they followed the original path back. Finally, at this moment, they saw the small caravan from Heng Shan in the distance.
Although this convoy only had 20 plus people, the strength of their strength was far from what Xu Su's 200 plus people could compare to. If the Kai Rong Kingdom's cavalry that raided the camp wanted to rob this caravan, then they would encounter an unexpected surprise.
He Yiming did not directly ride his horse to meet up with the people from Heng Shan. Instead, he stopped halfway and looked into the distance, seemingly deep in thought.
Yuan Lixun asked softly, "Yiming, are you worried about them?"
He Yiming smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile as he said, "I'm not worried about them, but about everyone in Tian Luo."
Yuan Lixun's beautiful eyes widened slightly. She opened her mouth, but her heart was filled with suspicion.
In her memory, He Yiming had never been a patriot who worried about the country first. To him, the reason why he became the Xiantian Master of Tian Luo was actually to ensure the smooth development of He Jia Village, and it was also for the sake of Shui Xuan Jin, who was his friend despite the difference in age.
Deep in his bones, he never had the thought of protecting the entire Tian Luo Kingdom.
After a moment, Yuan Lixun asked softly, "Yiming, are you planning to officially become the Master Protector of Tian Luo?"
Although her question was abrupt and strange, He Yiming clearly understood what she meant.
He Yiming looked at her and said sincerely, "Lixun, you once told me that the greater a person's power, the more responsibility he should bear. As for me, I seem to have found the responsibility that I should bear. "
Yuan Lixun nodded seriously. As long as it was something He Yiming sincerely decided, she would not oppose it. Even if this matter seemed to be somewhat inconceivable.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She turned around and said, "Mr. 108."
A black figure suddenly appeared in the distance. 108 had already rushed to their side. His voice was as calm as ever. "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Bai, your responsibility is to ensure Yiming's safety. Why didn't you help Yiming when he attacked?"
108 looked at her indifferently and said, "As your bodyguard, I will only take the initiative to help when you are in danger. Those people … "An almost undetectable smile appeared on his face that was as calm as an ancient well." Can they threaten Mr. He? "
Yuan Lixun was speechless. Actually, how could she not understand this logic in her heart? However, understanding was one thing, and completely calming down was another.
Especially as a woman, after seeing the bloody scene, it would be lying to herself if she said that she didn't feel any resentment in her heart. Perhaps, in her heart, there was this kind of vague feeling. If 108 had taken action at that time, He Yiming wouldn't have used such a cruel method to kill the leader of the cavalry.
When she thought of that person's ending, even Yuan Lixun, who had already advanced to the Xiantian realm, felt a chill run down her spine.
At that moment, she even felt that He Yiming was a stranger to her. However, now that she was with He Yiming, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
He Yiming glanced at 108 and said, "Lixun, 108 didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to blame him."
Yuan Lixun softly responded.
108 suddenly said, "Mr. He, according to my observations and calculations, the pressure on your body is too great, which is why you did such a bloody thing today. If you can accept my suggestion, I hope you can cast everything aside and calm down for a period of time. This will greatly benefit your body and your path of evolution. "
He Yiming's expression changed slightly. He said sternly, "How do you know that I'm under a lot of pressure?"
108's voice was extremely calm, as if he was saying something natural. "In my database, I've collected a lot of human behavior and deeds. According to the summary, those who are under too much pressure and can't be relieved in time will erupt at a certain stage. At that time, they will no longer be themselves … … And you, are undoubtedly one of them. "
Yuan Lixun's eyes lit up slightly. She stretched out her jade hand and gently grasped He Yiming's hand. Inexplicably, she had already believed everything that 108 had said.
He Yiming's expression was unsettled. He immediately thought of the bloody scene where he killed the leader of the knights.
No one noticed that when his gaze fell on the ground of flesh and blood, in the depths of his heart, there was actually a feeling of nausea.
Only, the cultivation of a powerhouse in One-Line-Sky concealed all of this very well. It seemed that apart from the unfathomable 108, there was no second person who discovered it.
The reason why 108 was able to discover it was not because he saw any clues, but because he deduced it through a method that he did not understand.
In fact, even He Yiming himself did not understand why his blood suddenly boiled when he heard that person say that he was going to be dismembered by five horses, and when he saw the aura of Xu Su and the others who were unafraid of death.
In his heart, there seemed to be a kind of tangled emotion hidden, and that punch released all of these negative emotions. He clearly remembered that when he punched out, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
At this time, after 108's explanation, He Yiming admitted it from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps, he was under too much pressure. He forced a smile and said, "108, do you want me to go into seclusion and meditate?"
"Meditating is just a way to relieve pressure. If you want to get rid of the pressure, then you have to solve the root of it."
He Yiming's eyes lit up and asked, "How do you want to solve it?"
"In your heart, there must be a secret that no one knows. If you can say it, then the pressure on you should not be feared."
He Yiming's heart thumped. Although there was no change in his expression, Yuan Lixun, who was holding He Yiming's big hand, could feel an extremely small change from the contact between their hands.
His grip seemed to have tightened a little.
In He Yiming's heart, there was indeed a big secret, and that was the fortuitous encounter at the bottom of the lake.
If it was not for that inconceivable encounter, He Yiming would most likely still be a young man who was bitterly cultivating to break through to the fifth layer of internal energy. It was impossible for him to become the powerhouse of One-Line-Sky, who could shake the entire Tian Luo Kingdom with a stomp of his feet.
This secret had always been buried in the deepest part of his heart. From the day of the encounter until now, it had been a few years.
His parents, elders, siblings, and even Yuan Lixun knew nothing about it.
Suddenly, 108's words flashed in his heart. Those who were under too much pressure and could not be relieved in time, would explode at a certain stage. At that time, he would no longer be himself …
His heart trembled slightly. Perhaps 108 was right. Was the person who had acted so crazily in front of the cavalry really him?
Suddenly, He Yiming felt his ears itch.
He turned around in surprise and saw that Yuan Lixun had turned her body sideways, blocking 108's line of sight. Her cherry lips opened. Although she did not make any sound, the shape of her mouth was very clear.
She was actually saying silently, "Don't tell him about the white stone."
He Yiming immediately understood. He was secretly ashamed. It turned out that Yuan Lixun thought that he was hiding the huge energy stone in his heart.
He smiled bitterly and nodded slightly to show that he understood.
At that moment, the disciples of Mount Heng in the distance had already discovered his tracks. The carriages obviously sped up. Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi even left the carriage and rushed over as fast as they could.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the place.
Their gazes first landed on 108. A look of 'as expected' flashed across their eyes.
When they discovered that 108 was missing, they guessed that he must have left with He Yiming and Lu Zhengyi. Now that they had met, it was confirmed.
However, the more it was so, the more frightened they were. How in the world was 108 able to evade their eyes and ears, and sneak out secretly?
"Elder He, you don't seem to be in good spirits." Yu Jinglei was old and shrewd. He looked at He Yiming's face and couldn't help but ask.
He Yiming did not hide anything. He told the story of his encounter with Xu Su and the others. He even told the story of how he blurted out that he was going to wash the Master Hall with blood without holding anything back.
When Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi heard He Yiming say such bold words, they could not help but be stunned.
The Master Hall of Kairong Country had a total of ten Innate Stage experts. Moreover, the most powerful one was Zhan Tianfeng, who had advanced to One-Line Heaven for 60 years.
Not to mention He Yiming alone, even if the entire Mount Heng branch gathered their strength, they might not be able to achieve such a feat.
Yu Jinglei hesitated for a moment and glanced at the expressionless 108.
He suddenly said, "Elder He's words may be inappropriate, but I reckon that if that old man Zhan Tianfeng hears it, he will probably do as you wish and withdraw all the people from Kairong Country."
Although Yu Jinglei did not know the result of three days later, he trusted his judgment based on his intuition.
"I hope so." He Yiming said in a deep voice, and then his gaze shifted in the same direction. If there was no 108 by his side, he would not have made such a boast even if he was beaten to death.
Although there were ten Innate Stage experts in Kairong Country, as long as 108 took action, it might be difficult to wipe them all out, but it did not seem difficult to kill one or two of them.
Of course, if it was not the last resort, He Yiming would not choose to do this.
After all, Kairong Country was one of the three strongest countries in the northwest. It naturally had its reasons for being able to stand for hundreds of thousands of years without falling.

After He Yiming and the others returned to the convoy, they traveled slowly all the way and finally arrived at the capital of Tian Luo Kingdom.
Their destination was to return to Taicang County before the New Year, but He Yiming also wanted to see his old friend.
However, before they reached the capital of Tian Luo Kingdom, they saw a black mass of people ten miles away.
Among these people, there were the army of Tian Luo Kingdom, ordinary people in the city, and even the nobles and famous people in the capital.
The Hengshan disciple at the front immediately became nervous. Although these people fought alone, he did not take them seriously at all. But at this moment, with so many people, even if everyone spat at them, it would be enough to drown them.
He Yiming's ears were trembling slightly from afar. His expression changed slightly at first, then immediately relaxed.
The moment this small convoy of Hengshan disciples appeared in the distance, the crowd was already in an uproar.
However, under the protection of Tian Luo Kingdom's soldiers, no one dared to rush forward, but everyone's eyes were filled with eagerness.
The Hengshan disciple at the front was Lu Zhengyi's eldest direct disciple, Lin Feiran. He was also one of the experts at the peak of Level Ten Inner Force in Ling Yu Peak. Seeing that the situation was not right, he turned around and went to Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi's carriage. He respectfully said, "Grand Elder, Master, something is wrong."
Lu Zhengyi slowly said, "What's the matter?"
"In front of us, there are thousands of people from Tian Luo Kingdom blocking the road. They …" Lin Feiran hesitated for a moment, then his heart suddenly moved. He said, "They seem to be welcoming some victorious general."
Yu Jinglei's cheerful laughter came from the carriage. "It's okay, let's go. They are here to welcome Elder He."
Lin Feiran opened his mouth in shock. He Yiming was not qualified to talk to He Yiming, so naturally, he did not know what happened to him.
Their speed was not very fast. When they arrived at the capital, it was already a few days later. At this time, the news that Kai Rong Kingdom sent people to summon the soldiers hidden in Tai Ah County had already spread throughout the entire Tian Luo Kingdom.
In the past, everyone in Tian Luo Kingdom, especially those who held power, knew who was behind Tai Ah County. It was just that everyone who knew about it chose to turn a blind eye.
However, this did not mean that they did not have any grudges in their hearts. Now that they heard He Yiming's bold words, in addition to Kai Rong Kingdom's active cooperation, everyone was naturally excited.
Under the full operation of Tian Luo Kingdom's national machinery, He Yiming's whereabouts were naturally in their hands.
After knowing the specific time He Yiming was about to arrive, the upper echelons of Tian Luo Kingdom came out in full force.
Everyone knew that in the future, Tian Luo Kingdom would prosper under the protection of this person. In order to obtain the greatest benefits in the process, they were willing to befriend He Yiming at all costs.
As for the commoners, through different channels, they knew that He Yiming was about to enter the capital.
They did not have any thoughts of fawning over him. They only wanted to see this legendary figure with their own eyes.
Lin Feiran respectfully bowed and retreated. He gave a look to his fellow disciples. Everyone was still riding their horses, moving forward at a moderate speed.
When the carriage entered a huge hill ten miles outside of the city.
Two hale and hearty old men, surrounded by a large group of people, walked over.
When he came to the front of the carriage, someone shouted, "Tian Luo King Yu Ruipei, Country Protector Shui Xuan Jin, welcome Master He Yiming back to the capital."
The thousands of people suddenly quieted down. Then, a sound like a landslide and a tsunami burst out. This was the sound of thousands of people shouting with all their might. It was the feeling of releasing the depression that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years.
Lin Feiran's hand trembled slightly. Although he was an expert at the peak of Level Ten Internal Strength, he never thought that when thousands of people's voices gathered together, it would create such a huge sound wave. It was enough to make such an expert tremble in fear.
On the first carriage, the curtain was lifted and He Yiming slowly walked out.
The earth-shattering cheers seemed to have no effect on him at all. His body was as straight as a javelin. Under the gazes of countless pairs of eyes, his bearing was as steady as a mountain. It was as if there was nothing in this world that could shake him.
Yu Ruipei was surprised and happy. It was the fortune of the Tian Luo Kingdom to have such a person. However, was such a person really someone their Yu Clan could control?
He had a faint feeling that in the future, within the Tian Luo Kingdom, this person's words would be more powerful than the royal family's.
Shui Xuan Jin came to He Yiming's side. The old man and the young man looked at each other and smiled. Then, Shui Xuan Jin bowed deeply to him.
He Yiming was shocked. He quickly moved aside and said, "Brother Shui, what are you doing?"
Shui Xuan Jin's expression was solemn as he said, "Brother He, Little Brother He, you have done something that I have always wanted to do but never dared to do. Thank you."
He Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shui, have you forgotten that I am also the Master Protector of the Tian Luo Kingdom?"
Shui Xuan Jin laughed loudly and said, "That's right, Little Brother He, Little Brother He, is also the Master Protector of the Tian Luo Kingdom." He said emotionally, "With this kingdom in your hands, I can rest assured."
He Yiming smiled but did not say anything. However, in his heart, there was a faint ominous premonition.
Although Shui Xuan Jin's face was still flushed red, and it seemed that the vitality in his body had increased a lot because of this happy event. However, looking at the old man, He Yiming's heart inexplicably had a trace of indescribable sadness …
