In the sky above the Holy Zhi Palace, several saints were engaged in battle. The Black Wind Condor rushed towards the battlefield where Douzhan was. Although he had not become a saint, he was only a step away from becoming one. He was still able to help.
Saint Xihua saw that his attacks were not successful, and when he saw Xia Qingyuan appear, he realized something.
He was afraid that Xia Qingyuan would not give him a chance at all.
There was resentment in his heart. Xia Qingyuan was the daughter of Emperor Xia, and even she had made her position clear. How could he deal with Ye Futian?
The Sacred War was already unfair. Since they were defeated and fled, they were destined to be defeated.
He had planned to hide and cultivate quietly, but someone was forcing him out, and he had no choice.
"The princess is here, so Yaya and the Glass Saint will probably be here soon," Saint Xihua thought to himself, and then said, "Retreat."
As he said this, he retreated, and the others also left the battlefield, pulling away in an instant. Saint Jiang and the others had no intention of chasing. At present, their lineup was not stronger than the other side.
"Let's go." Saint Xihua and the others left.
The Black Wind Condor's eyes were cold as he stared at the leaving figures with a strange look.
They left just like that?
Was it because of Xia Qingyuan?
It seemed that Saint Xihua's desire for revenge was not strong, and he was afraid of the slightest thing.
Saint Xihua had never thought about revenge, but someone had forced him to act. While he did not know what the other party wanted, he had promised to do what he promised. Now that Xia Qingyuan was there in person, he would have fulfilled his promise even if he were to retreat.
The Black Wind Condor's cold eyes swept over the battlefield. Several people were injured, but for Saints, as long as the injuries were not too serious, they would be fine.
With a flap of his wings, the Black Wind Condor came to Xia Qingyuan and said, "Princess, can you do me a favor?"
"Do you want to know where Saint Xihua and the others are going?" Xia Qingyuan replied, knowing what Ye Futian was thinking.
The Black Wind Condor nodded.
"Father should have sent someone to do it. If you do this, I will be violating the rules of the Sacred War." Xia Qingyuan said, "Moreover, Saint Xihua and the others are also father's men."
Ye Futian naturally did not believe Xia Qingyuan's nonsense.
Saint Xihua probably only had resentment for Emperor Xia now. If he had a choice, he would certainly walk out of Emperor Xia's Realm.
As for Xia Qingyuan, this woman wanted to talk about rules with him?
"I only want information. His Majesty and the Princess will not do anything. This is not going against His Majesty's will," the Black Wind Condor said telepathically.
"We'll talk about it when you get back." Xia Qingyuan glanced at the Black Wind Condor indifferently.
The Black Wind Condor stared at Xia Qingyuan, feeling an urge to attack.
"Boss, don't." The Black Wind Condor sensed Ye Futian's thoughts and was immediately afraid. The Blue Phoenix Sacred Beast was right next to Xia Qingyuan.
If he really did something, wouldn't I be the one in trouble?
As for riding the Blue Luan, that was a matter for the future.
"Princess, please send someone to inform the Moon Saint and ask him to be more vigilant. I'll leave the matters here to you, Princess." The Black Wind Condor said. He was far away in the Dali Dynasty, so he naturally had to rely on Xia Qingyuan here. Saint Xihua had actually made a move, so it was better to be on guard in the future.
As for him, he naturally couldn't just return like that.
In that case, everything he had done before would have been in vain.
"Alright." Xia Qingyuan nodded. This guy knows how to be polite?
Ye Futian, who was training in the Dali Imperial City, opened his eyes and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect Saint Xihua to jump out after so long. It was a good thing that the Holy Zhi Palace was now very powerful and not so easily shaken. Even though Saint Xihua had invited a Saint of True Self from the Upper Worlds, it still didn't work. But in the future, he still had to be on guard. He was going to invite the saints of the Yue clan to train in the Holy Zhi Palace.
That way, they would be able to look out for each other before Saint Xihua was killed.
Yaya and the Glass Saint came to the Lower Worlds soon after and stationed themselves in the Holy Zhi Palace. Saint Xihua and the others fled again.
That storm seemed to be just a small interlude, and it didn't hurt the Holy Zhi Palace at all.
After that, the Moon Saint really did come to the Holy Zhi Palace to train, and Yaya and the Glass Saint returned to the Upper Worlds.
Everything seemed to have ended there. It was just an attempt by Saint Xihua for revenge, and no one would have imagined the story behind it.
After all, there was great enmity between Saint Xihua and the Holy Zhi Palace.
Soon, the storm was forgotten, and it didn't even cause much of a stir in the Upper Worlds.
In the Xiao clan's residence, Xiao Sheng trained as usual and rarely left the residence. Of course, in reality, the Xiao clan didn't pay much attention to him anymore.
Ever since that incident, he had long understood his fate. It seemed that he had become a dispensable existence. Even Divine Cloud Valley had deliberately come to the Xiao clan to cancel the engagement. To him, this was simply a disgrace.
On this day, Xiao Sheng ordered people to go to Divine Cloud Valley and invited Gongsun Ni to a restaurant.
At that moment, in a private room in the restaurant, Gongsun Ni came to keep the appointment. After all, they almost got together back then, and Xiao Sheng's invitation was something she was willing to do.
"I heard that you've been training in isolation to break into the Divine Path. How is your training?" Gongsun Ni asked. Beside her, her sister Gongsun Xuan was also there, and there was a saint standing not far behind.
"It's alright. My state of mind isn't smooth, so it's naturally hard for me to break through." Xiao Sheng said, "Where's Miss Gongsun? It's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Nothing different from before," Gongsun Ni said softly. "Young Master Xiao's talents are extraordinary, and I believe that you'll be able to break through the shackles soon and break into the Saint Plane."
"I hope so," Xiao Sheng smiled and said, looking very relaxed.
Not far from the private room, there was someone sitting alone, drinking wine. He was a table away from Xiao Sheng and the others.
"Xiao Sheng." When he lowered his head, a voice was heard in Xiao Sheng's ears.
Xiao Sheng's expression was calm when he heard the voice, and he continued chatting with Gongsun Ni.
"Your guess was right. He didn't show up. If he was training in the palace, he would have definitely gone to the Lower Worlds with Xia Qingyuan that day. However, only Xia Qingyuan went. After that, when the people of the Nine States went, he was not there," the person continued.
"Is there any useful information? Where did he go?" Xiao Sheng replied telepathically. That day was the day they agreed to meet. Every time they met, they would set a time and place for the next meeting.
Of course, Xiao Sheng would come every time, but the person who came would probably never be the same.
"Since he left directly from the Imperial Palace, he must have left through a Spatial Teleportation Formation. You should know a little about the places that the Spatial Teleportation Formation in the Imperial Palace leads to. There are only a few of them," the man continued. "Xiao Sheng, where do you think he will go?"
"Did anyone from the Nine States die this time?" Xiao Sheng asked.
"No," the person replied.
"Are all the saints of the Barren State there?" Xiao Sheng asked again.
"They are all there," the person continued.
"Let's test it out again." Xiao Sheng said, "At least let the people of the Nine States pay some price. If he still doesn't show up, then we can be sure that he is no longer in Emperor Xia's Realm. I think he most likely went to Emperor Li's Realm."
"Why do you say that?" the person replied.
"He left alone, and the princess did not go with him. He did not go to the powerful secret zones of Emperor Xia's Realm, and the saints did not go with him because they were worried that they would attract too much attention and expose their identities. Then, the possibility of him going to Emperor Li's Realm is very high. Otherwise, why did he not bring the saints of the Nine States?"
"To go to Emperor Li's Realm to cultivate, is that so reckless?" There was a hint of a smile in the person's voice.
"If you know him a little, you should know that he might be even more daring. Moreover, the princess left his mount in the Princess Residence so that she would know where he is at all times. You can think about the implications of this." Xiao Sheng said, "At least, I have not thought about what he plans to do if he goes to Emperor Li's Realm that would make the princess worry and need to know where he is at all times."
The person was silent for a while and replied after a while, "I will remember what you said."
Then, he put down the cup in his hand and left the restaurant.
Xiao Sheng was still chatting with Gongsun Ni, looking gentle and refined. There was not even a hint of loneliness or anger on him, which surprised Gongsun Ni and made her feel a little guilty.
Xiao Sheng left the restaurant after a while and parted ways with Gongsun Ni, going back to their own homes.
…
A month after Saint Xihua's attack on the Holy Zhi Palace, Long Ling 'er and Phoenix were poisoned in a restaurant in the Upper Worlds of Emperor Xia's Realm. The poison was extremely overbearing, invading one's internal organs and destroying one's life force.
It was worth noting that Phoenix was an expert in healing, but she was poisoned. One could only imagine how powerful the poison was. It was a saint-level poison.
However, because of what happened to Saint Xihua, the people of the Holy Zhi Palace were vigilant. When Long Ling 'er and Phoenix went out, the Village Chief followed them to protect them. After the two were poisoned, the Village Chief did not return to the Cottage but sent them to Emperor Xia's Palace as quickly as possible.
The news was not big for Emperor Xia's Realm, but it was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue for Ye Futian.
What was going on recently?
Could it be Saint Xihua again?
However, according to Xia Qingyuan, Saint Xihua was not there at all.
When he was attacked by Saint Xihua last time, Ye Futian thought it was just revenge, but Ling 'er and Phoenix being poisoned made him feel that someone was targeting them, wanting to kill the people of the Nine States.
Even in Dali Dynasty, Ye Futian still felt cold all over, as if a conspiracy was shrouding him.
In Emperor Xia's Palace, the most important thing was to save the lives of Phoenix and Ling 'er. Xia Qingyuan even took the two to Emperor Xia's bedchambers to beg him to do something.
When the Village Chief sent the two, they were almost dead, especially Long Ling 'er, who was on her last breath. One could even say that she was half-dead, as the poison had already consumed her entire body.
She also felt that someone was targeting the people of the Nine States!
