Since Xia Donghou had agreed, there was nothing to worry about.
After leaving Xia Donghou's cultivation place, Qin Xiao went straight back to his cultivation place. The most important thing now was to return to Free City first.
It wouldn't be too late to come back to cultivation after everything was settled.
Cultivation wasn't about wasting time. More importantly, it was about having great comprehension.
Walking in the world was also a form of cultivation.
Cultivation was the cultivation of the heart. The heart was the most important. With the heart of cultivation, one could cultivate wherever they went. This wouldn't affect anything.
However, there were many cultivation resources in the Sacred Institute that could be used. Qin Xiao was also very eager to start cultivating. However, he couldn't be at ease if he kept worrying about things.
Rather than that, it was better to settle these things first.
Therefore, Qin Xiao didn't hesitate. He only brought Ah Dong Saint with him. He found the teacher in charge of entering and leaving the Sacred Institute. After asking for leave, he left the Sacred Institute.
If the students of the Sacred Institute wanted to leave, they needed the teacher's approval. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave the Sacred Institute.
The Sacred Institute could be seen as an independent world. There were many powerful formations, restrictions, and secret techniques that surrounded and protected the entire Sacred Institute. It wasn't something that could be left just because one wanted to.
With Ah Dong Saint, an Ancient Saint, by his side, the journey was very fast.
In less than ten years, Qin Xiao arrived in the sky above Free City.
This time, he hadn't left for long. It had only been a few hundred thousand years. Free City hadn't changed much.
However, Qin Xiao found that there were many people gathered outside the gates of Free City. The defensive formation of Free City was also in an active state to prevent people from flying into Free City.
Outside Free City, there were all kinds of people.
There were so many people that they numbered in the millions.
Among these people, there was no lack of fourth-step Heavenly Venerables. There were also many third-step Heavenly Venerables.
Seeing so many cultivators gathered outside Free City, the city was in a state of high alert. The city gates were closed and the defensive formation was activated. This made Qin Xiao frown slightly. He thought, "Could it be that someone dares to have designs on Free City?
Could it be that the news here was so outdated?
Even if the news of him taking first place on the Saint Ranking didn't spread, was it possible that the news of him becoming a student of the Academy of Saint hadn't spread?
Was there anyone who dared to have designs on Freedom City?
No matter what, Qin Xiao was still the City Lord of Freedom City. If they dared to touch Freedom City, wouldn't that mean that they didn't put him, Qin Xiao, in their eyes?
However, Qin Xiao observed for a while and found that this was not the case.
The people outside Free Cities were more scattered. They were not a single entity, but countless individuals who had gathered together.
Moreover, they were camping on the spot and didn't seem to want to attack Freedom City. Therefore, these people shouldn't want to harm Freedom City.
If these people really wanted to attack Free City, then Free City would be in danger.
After all, Qin Xiao saw more than a dozen fourth-step Celestial Venerables and thousands of third-step Celestial Venerables. This was a force that could not be underestimated.
After watching for a while, Qin Xiao couldn't help but shake his head. From the looks of it, it wouldn't be easy for him to enter Free City.
Qin Xiao could only contact the Elf Patriarch and ask him to open the city gate to pick him up.
In Free City, in the Elf Race's Conference Hall.
At this time, several Patriarchs were discussing in the Conference Hall.
Everyone was frowning. Obviously, they were worried about those people outside the city.
"Elf Leader, you have to come up with an idea. Ever since the City Lord became a student of the Academy of Saint, his name has spread throughout the Nine States of Huaxia. "
"Our Free City has also benefited from his divine light and become famous. At least within the Hu Region, our Free City is considered famous."
"But people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. It's good that Freedom City is famous. Every day, many people come to join our Free City."
"At first, we didn't have the awareness to guard against them, but we have already taken in hundreds of thousands of people. These people are now staying in Free City and refusing to leave. They have brought a bad atmosphere to our Free City. It has somewhat affected the light of freedom of our Free City."
"Look at the situation now. More than a million people have gathered outside Free City, and this number is still increasing. What should we do?"
"That's right, Elf Leader. Now that the City Lord is not here, everything is up to you. If this continues, our Free City will really become a small sealed city. We won't even dare to open the city gate. "
"Moreover, if this continues, it's possible that those people will directly attack our Free City. If the situation develops to that point, it will be dangerous. "
"Yes, if this continues, it's very likely that it will develop to this point. Therefore, we must come up with a good countermeasure as soon as possible. "
The Elf City Lord frowned deeply and shook his head with a wry smile. "Everyone has put their heads together and discussed, but they haven't come up with any good ideas. What ideas can I come up with?"
"Sigh, if only the City Lord was here. His family will have a way to solve this."
"That's right. If the City Lord was here, then we wouldn't have to worry so much."
"What's the use of saying this? The City Lord is now in the Academy of Saint. We can't contact him. Even if we can contact him, there's no need for the City Lord to worry about such a small matter. "
"Then what should we do now?"
Whoa!
At this moment, the Elf Patriarch suddenly stood up. His solemn face suddenly bloomed like a flower, revealing a deep smile.
"Haha, the City Lord is back." The Elf Patriarch laughed happily.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!
Hearing the Elf Patriarch's words, everyone stood up together.
Everyone was overjoyed, as if they had caught a life-saving straw.
The City Lord was back. That meant that the problem that gave them a headache could be solved.
"Let's go, let's hurry out of the city to welcome the City Lord." The Elf Patriarch immediately waved his hand.
Outside the gates of Liberty City, over a million people had gathered. Some of them were in groups of three to five, some were sitting alone, and some were discussing something intensely.
Everyone looked in the direction of the city gate from time to time, as if hoping that the city gate would suddenly open.
Rumble!!!
The city gate suddenly opened.
Hearing the sound of the city gate opening, the people outside the city gate immediately rushed over.
"Haha, the city gate is open. We can enter the Free City."
"After waiting for so long, the city gate finally opened. It seems that they're ready to let us in. This is something we've been waiting for for a long time."
"Damn it, they're finally willing to open the city gate. If they didn't open it, I would have smashed the gate."
"Haha, Empyrean Annihilation Flame and the others are still discussing whether they should directly break through the city gate and enter the Free City. The Free City has always been known for its freedom. We came here because of its reputation. Why can't we enter the city? "
"That's right. If they don't let us in, then the people in the city can forget about coming out. If it doesn't work, then we'll just fight our way into the city. "
"Isn't it inappropriate to fight our way in? After all … Qin Xiao is the City Lord of the Free City. If he gets angry, then … "
"Tch, what's there to be afraid of? We're not going to kill or burn, and we're not going to occupy the Free City. We just want to enter the Free City. What can Qin Xiao do to us? Besides, he's in the Sacred Institute right now. How would he know what's going on here? Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to rush over so easily. "
As soon as the city gate opened, those people swarmed in, wanting to rush into the Free City.
The Elf Patriarch had long expected such a situation. As soon as he came out, he shouted sternly, "All of you, quiet down. Don't come over here for now. Step back!"
His aura fluctuated, and the people near him were forced to retreat.
At the same time, the other patriarchs also stood in formation, guarding the city gate and not allowing anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to rush into the city.
Some people still wanted to squeeze in, but at this time, the Elf Patriarch looked up into the sky and said loudly, "Welcome back, City Lord!"
The other patriarchs behind him also greeted him respectfully in unison.
Their loud voices immediately silenced the surroundings. Everyone quieted down and looked around. Lord Qin Xiao had returned?
Where was he?
"Over there!"
"Look, it's really Lord Qin Xiao!"
Sure enough, two figures flew over and quickly landed in front of the Elf Patriarch.
As the Ah Dong Saint had concealed his aura, outsiders only saw him as a fourth-step Heavenly Venerable. They didn't know that he was an Ancient Saint.
Bringing an Ancient Saint with him would be rather inconvenient, wouldn't it?
"City Lord, you're finally back." The Elf Patriarch stepped forward and grabbed Qin Xiao's hands excitedly.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Haha, I put down many things and hurried back to the Free City. I missed all of you."
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, the Elf Patriarch and the others all had tears in their eyes. They were so moved that they could be remembered by the City Lord.
"Lord Qin Xiao, it's good that you're back. You have to judge for us."
"That's right. Lord Qin Xiao, you have to make a decision for us. Judge for us. These people are too abominable."
"That's right. The Elf Patriarch and the others have blocked so many of us outside the Free City for hundreds of thousands of years. The city gates are closed, and the great array is activated. They don't allow us to enter the Free City. What's the meaning of this?"
"That's right. We came here because of your reputation. We traveled a long distance and spent a lot of effort to come to the Free City. We came here because of Lord Qin Xiao's reputation. We wanted to join the Free City, but you don't want to see us. What's the meaning of this? "
"I've long heard that the Free City is an open city. How is this a Free City? It's simply a closed city. "
"Lord Qin Xiao, since you're back, give us an explanation and uphold justice for us."
"That's right. You have to give us an explanation. More than a million of us have been waiting here, but you don't let us enter the city. What's the meaning of this? "
…
The clamor was very loud, and it stirred up everyone's emotions. At this time, it was as if they were going to denounce Qin Xiao.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly. The momentum was not small.
Qin Xiao didn't like the tone of many people.
"What's going on here?" Qin Xiao looked at the Elf Patriarch and asked.
He had just arrived, so he didn't know much about the specific situation.
The Elf Patriarch smiled bitterly and helplessly said, "City Lord, this is a long story. I have to start from when you successfully passed the selection of the Sacred Academy and became a student of the Sacred Academy."
"It's like this …"
The Elf Patriarch explained the situation here to Qin Xiao in detail. He talked about the situation from the beginning to the matter that gave everyone a headache.
