Chapter 396 Kill them all

"Brother Emperor!"

In the delegation's rest area, after Wang Xiao closed the door, Xia Qingling nervously but excitedly threw herself into Xia Daoling's arms.

Looking at the girl in front of him whose appearance had changed, he knew without confirmation that she was his sister, and next to her stood a graceful woman.

"Sorry for making you worry."

Xia Daoling rubbed Xia Qingling's little head, then apologized to Bai Zhu, Ji De and others around him. When his gaze shifted to Siqin, he didn't say anything extra, everything was implied.

"Although we are here, we can't help much. Wang Xiao has been running around these days. If you want to thank someone, thank him."

"No, no!" Xia Qingling quickly interrupted, "Brother Emperor, to save me, Brother Xiao killed that nasty Pan Chengfeng, but the rest of my brothers and sisters also risked their lives to fall into his trap to rescue me!"

"Of course, the Daoling Spirit will remember your kindness in my heart, and will never forget it, whether you live or die!"

"Well, thank you for nothing. Let's discuss the follow-up matters first." Wang Xiao said seriously, "First, what exactly happened when Emperor Xia passed away? You can't tell us because we're under surveillance in the Heavenly Prison. Can you tell us the truth now?"

"Yes, my Royal Brother, what did Father say to you that day?"

Not only her and Wang Xiao, but everyone else also wanted to hear him say it in person.

"Actually, what I told you in the Heavenly Prison is the truth." Xia Daoling smiled bitterly, "My father showed me the imperial edict that day, designating Xia Yuling as the heir. He gave me two choices: one was that I could concentrate on assisting him, and the other was that I modify the content and take his place."

After hearing the truth, everyone fell silent. After a long moment, Wang Xiao took the initiative to break the silence, saying, "The matter is already settled. It's useless for us to stay any longer. Let's all leave for now."

"It will be difficult to come back once you go out," Ji De reminded.

Xia Daoling finally stated, "Wang Xiao is right. I have no power and influence now, and I'm also guilty of deceiving the emperor. Even if I try to stay, it's not legitimate and I can't do anything. It's better to go out and explore the world and improve my cultivation. The mountains are still here. If the Great Xia falls one day, no matter what, I will come back."

"If that day really comes, don't forget to call me. After all, I have lived in Daxia for nearly twenty years." Bai Zhu stretched out his right hand.

"Count me in!"

"And I!"

……

Seeing everyone's unanimous support, Xia Daoling felt warm in his heart, and he also stretched out his right hand to place it on the back of their hands.

"It would be strange to say thank you again. If I ever reach the top of a mountain, I'm sure you'll be able to see the scenery there."

"Then let's get ready for it, haha! Okay, without further ado, let's get going as soon as possible."

Just as Wang Xiao finished speaking, Murong Bawang raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute! I received news not long ago that the ancestors have arrived. They..."

"Don't worry about them. Since they finally got out, let him experience more life with his two brothers."

"It's a pity that the lifespan of today's cultivators is generally much shorter. But I heard that your ancestor has lived to this day. I wanted to shamelessly find him to discuss the way of life, but it seems I will miss the opportunity!" Ji De said regretfully.

"Brother Ji, why don't you come with me to the Murong family as a guest? I'll introduce you to the old man when he comes back. Otherwise, he will probably go into seclusion again, and it will be unknown when he will wake up next time."

"But the location of your tribe has been a secret since ancient times. Is that really okay?" Jide rubbed his hands excitedly.

"That's fine. Our clan has had plans to emerge long ago, and now is the time." Murong Bawang said, "If you are interested, you can consider our clan as a stop on your plan."

"It's a good choice, both secretive and safe." Wang Xiao gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"Brother Murong, I appreciate your kindness, but I already have a destination."

Xia Daoling's words were beyond everyone's expectations, especially Wang Xiao. He hadn't even determined the best location, but the other party made a choice in a short time.

"Brother, where are you going? Qingling will go with you!"

"Okay!"

Xia Daoling agreed verbally, but his hand quietly reached for the back of her neck and knocked her unconscious.

"What are you..."

"The place I'm going is too dangerous. Qingling needs you to take care of her for me. Please!"

Xia Daoling then came to Siqin's side. He looked at her red eyes and sighed slowly, saying, "I'm sorry. I hope you can understand me."

Siqin controlled her emotions very well. She just nodded slightly in response to his request, and kept everything else deep in her heart.

"Everyone, see you later!"

After Xia Daoling and Siqin looked at each other for a few seconds, they suddenly turned around, clasped their fists towards everyone, and then disappeared from the spot in an instant.

He wanted to attract the fire alone!

Wang Xiao guessed what he was thinking, but unfortunately he had already made plans and did not give Wang Xiao the chance to stop him this time.

"When Mr. Xia arrives, you guys go ahead with him. I'll follow the remaining scent."

"Don't chase me! Don't." Siqin tried to stop him, saying, "Dao Ling is buying time for us. Let's go!"

"it is good."

Wang Xiao uttered a word heavily, then led the team out of the rest area. On the way, he concentrated his senses and followed the faint remaining breath to know the direction of Xia Daoling's departure - after leaving the imperial city, he headed north.

More crucially, someone was secretly monitoring them. After confirming Xia Daoling's absence, the hidden forces gradually withdrew. A few dozen miles from the imperial city, Wang Xiao confirmed that no one was following them and that everything was safe. He then handed Feng Tingyun over to Bai Zhu.

"You can go back to Overlord's clan or the Western Region Buddhist Temple first. I'll go and confirm Dao Ling's safety. After I finish my work for them, I'll join you."

After Wang Xiao finished his instructions, he stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the north.

……

A plain once lush with grass and water is now completely unrecognizable. A man is walking away, covering his bleeding shoulder, adding insult to injury to his already wounded body.

Two figures appeared quietly not far away.

"He actually escaped alone. At first I thought he was a body double, trying to divert attention. His courage is commendable, but it's a shame he didn't know the time."

"You want to let him go, let him find Xia Qingling, and then snatch the core of the formation from them."

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from the Blood Pavilion Master!" In response to Xue Rong's statement, Pan Donglin said frankly, "Someone, after sitting on the throne, feels that he has grown powerful. If it weren't for his fear of the Emperor Sword and the need for legitimacy, I would have destroyed him on the spot."

"Haha, you're the one who can't suppress your inner desire and is burning with anxiety. But I agree with you. Power is always more secure when it's in the hands of your own people. I think the plan we arranged can be put into action ahead of time."

"Isn't it too early?" Pan Donglin asked with a little excitement.

"Calculating the time, it should be about time. I will report back to my superiors, you just have to wait."

They stopped talking and their figures disappeared along with their voices.
