Nangong Wan spoke softly, but Ma Xiaotao did not move her feet.
"Saint?"
Nangong Wan frowned, observed Ma Xiaotao carefully, then followed her gaze towards the outside of the city, and his face suddenly turned cold.
He was timid, but he was never stupid. When he saw Ma Xiaotao looking a little strange, he figured out the whole story in an instant.
Ma Xiaotao had obviously seen someone who could affect her memory, and the man who had just stopped was not waiting for anyone.
"Hurry up, the attackers are coming again!"
The loud voice spread far away with the fluctuation of soul power. Several beams of light instantly shone towards Nangong Wan, and then quickly swept towards the outside of the city.
Not far away, Lin Xiao paused, then clenched his hands, and the light of the soul guide propulsion device lit up under his cloak. The two figures disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Nangong Wan was still hesitating whether to chase after him when a phoenix cry sounded beside him.
Ma Xiaotao flapped her wings and shot out at a speed that was even faster than Nangong Wan, the Titled Douluo.
Dark red flames continued to rise from Ma Xiaotao's side, leaving the surrounding buildings charred in an instant. Some houses were even ignited instantly. The fire spread rapidly with the night wind, but she didn't care, and only had eyes for the figure in front of her.
Nangong Wan hesitated after seeing this, but finally followed. The two men who had just chosen to leave were obviously not very strong, otherwise they would have taken action long ago.
Several streaks of light flew into the air, and the shrill alarm sounded again. In just a few days, this was the third time that the people in Mingdu had heard the alarm, as if it was foreshadowing that there would be no peace in the future.
Zhang Lexuan felt the scenery around her constantly receding, the wind whistling in her ears, and the receding air flow seemed to separate her and the people around her in a small world, making her almost forget everything else outside.
But she quickly came to her senses and looked back, seeing a ball of dark red flame chasing her rapidly.
"Xiao Tao..."
Zhang Lexuan spoke softly, and Lin Xiao also looked back when he heard it. In addition to Ma Xiaotao, he also saw the color rising in Mingdu that symbolized the alarm.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lin Xiao suddenly glanced at Zhang Lexuan, "Hold on to me."
Zhang Lexuan subconsciously grabbed Lin Xiao's arm, and then saw a gray mist rising from behind Lin Xiao, like a huge human figure, and the speed of the two increased again.
However, despite the support of the eighth-level soul guide propulsion device, the flying speed was still a little slower than that of the Titled Douluo. As time passed, Nangong Wan's figure was still far behind him.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiao would not be too afraid of Nangong Wan, but behind him, that was the power of the entire Mingdu.
He did not dare to stop and waved his right hand. The figure of Alex behind him seemed to be holding a long staff. Gray mist also condensed in Lin Xiao's hand. The light gray soul ring around him rhythmically and shiningly, and a pale green light rushed straight towards Nangong Wan.
Nangong Wan reacted quickly, his figure flashing left and right, but the light seemed to have eyes and still fell on him accurately.
The next moment, he felt his body become extremely heavy, and the soul power in his body seemed to be ignited and disappeared rapidly.
"Ho-ho-"
Nangong Wan's body suddenly stopped and fell to the ground. The pain in his body made him make uncontrollable unpleasant sounds, and the feeling of his soul power draining away made him feel fear unconsciously.
Sorry, it could have been earlier, but some changes were made, so it's a bit late.
Chapter 232 Treasure Land
One hit worked.
Although the undead magic taught by Alex also appears in this world in a similar way to the soul ring, it is not affected by soul power and depends more on Lin Xiao's mental power.
Lin Xiao knew Nangong Wan's character, so he raised his hand and used the Withering Technique and the Fear Technique at the same time. The feeling as if the soul power was ignited was amplified by the Fear Technique, and in just an instant, Nangong Wan was unable to continue chasing him.
In fact, after a while, Nangong Wan will naturally find that although his soul power has been consumed a lot, it is absolutely impossible to completely burn out the soul power of a Titled Douluo.
Unfortunately, by the time he recovered, Lin Xiao had long disappeared.
Turning his head to look at the fire in the distance, Lin Xiao pointed the long staff in his hand again, and a black shadow suddenly appeared. At first glance, it looked a bit like a beetle, but it was slightly different from ordinary beetles or ordinary soul beasts.
As the beetle appeared, a buzzing sound of its thin wings trembling sounded out of nowhere, and it seemed as if a ball of black mist burst out from its body, rising and covering Ma Xiaotao.
Lin Xiao then turned around, moved a little faster, and turned his body. The light of the soul guide propulsion device on his body went out instantly, and he plunged into the darkness and disappeared completely.
"You can't go any further east. The people in Mingdu will guess you're from Shrek Academy and will naturally look for you in the east. I'll take you west around Mingdu, and then north through the harbor, taking the waterway to enter the Heavenly Soul Empire."
Stepping on the ground again, Lin Xiao loosened his hands lightly, but his feet did not stop. He rushed a long distance with a light tap of his toes.
Traveling in the air is too conspicuous. After all, there are not so many lighting soul guides outside Mingdu. It is easier to hide on the ground.
"If word of what happened here gets out and they investigate too strictly, you can go along the coast all the way to the Far North and then enter the territory of the Sky Soul Empire. There are few people there, so not many people will be watching."
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Lexuan's response, he followed the shadow on the ground and headed northwest.
Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything, but just followed Lin Xiao closely, looking up from time to time.
Only then did she realize that it wasn't just about strength. Just by traveling like this, even she, as the eldest sister in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, could not keep up with Lin Xiao's speed.
Not only that, the martial spirit that Lin Xiao just released...
"Also..." Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhang Lexuan's thoughts.
"I won't tell anyone else."
Lin Xiao paused after hearing this, but still said thank you, "Thank you very much."
After that, there was another silence between the two.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Xiao's back, opened her mouth, but didn't say a word. She just lowered her head slightly and followed him.
When she went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, she might have had some thoughts of seeing Lin Xiao again, but when he really appeared in front of her, she didn't know what to say.
Lin Xiao was equally speechless. He knew many things, things that had happened, things that hadn't happened yet, things he had experienced, and things he hadn't witnessed firsthand...
But precisely because he knew too much, he didn't know what to say to this darling of Shrek Academy.
Perhaps that was why he saw the figure waiting alone when he returned to the academy, but he still didn't show up.
Although it was much slower than the speed of flying, both of them were at the eighth ring level after all. Soon, the surrounding scenery was no longer the same as before, but instead an endless range of mountains.
Halfway through the journey, there was no sign of other people around. Lin Xiao then slowly slowed down, looked around, and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Lexuan walked forward and stood side by side with Lin Xiao. She took a breath and saw Lin Xiao's expression before asking again.
"It's okay." Lin Xiao shook his head, stood up straight and looked at the scenery in front of him. "It's just that I didn't calculate the distance well. I didn't expect to come back here after going around in circles."
"If...you come to the Sun-Moon Empire again in the future, remember to stay away from here. It's very dangerous here."
"Danger?" Zhang Lexuan looked up and forward upon hearing this. She was surrounded by a continuous mountain range and a clear lake surrounded by a valley.
It was impossible to tell where the lake flowed or where its source came from. It seemed that rainwater had accumulated here and formed there.
There is no moonlight tonight, and the mirror-like lake surface reflects the stars in the night sky. The stars are dotted and very beautiful. However, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the danger that Lin Xiao mentioned.
Lin Xiao could probably guess what Zhang Lexuan was thinking. In fact, not only her, but even he himself would not have thought that this was the first of the three treasured places in Douluo Continent when he first came here.
When there were no rituals being held, the place was indeed peaceful and the scenery was beautiful, but no one could guarantee that something unexpected would not come and cause any changes.
"Something's wrong, get out of here!"
Just as Lin Xiao and Zhang Lexuan were looking at the lake in front of them in silence, Electrolux's voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of Lin Xiao's heart.
Lin Xiao's face suddenly changed. He had no doubt about what Alex said. He turned around and held Zhang Lexuan in his arms. He ignored everything else. His left leg flashed with light, and the soul guide propulsion device behind him lit up. He even used the power of space that he had not yet fully mastered.
Almost in the blink of an eye, his figure had left his original place and appeared on a farther hill.
But he was fast, and there was something faster than him.
Above the calm lake, the originally dotted light became brighter and brighter, and soon covered the entire lake surface. Silver light filled the lake, as if a bright moon was rising from the valley.
Lin Xiao's back suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light completely engulfed him. He felt his body lighten, and his consciousness also disappeared in the light.
At this moment, a question suddenly arose in his mind.
He came back here after many twists and turns. Was it just a coincidence that he miscalculated the distance, or was there something that led him here unknowingly?
But his doubts were destined to remain unanswered.
When Lin Xiao regained consciousness, there was nothing in front of him except a vast expanse of white. There was no sound and he could not feel the air.
He lowered his head slightly. He was still wearing the same clothes, but upon closer inspection, it didn't feel like his body. His entire body felt as if it were immersed in warm water, a feeling somewhat similar to when he first absorbed the Life Gold, but much gentler.
Doubts kept coming to my mind one after another.
There is no doubt that the power that could make Alex scream in surprise, without him putting up any resistance and not even noticing the light engulfing him, was definitely not ordinary.
Perhaps, he encountered the situation he least wanted to encounter.
Chapter 233 Reward
Qiankun asks Qinggu.
If one had to choose the place among the three treasured places of Douluo Continent that Lin Xiao least wanted to go to, it would definitely be Qiankunwenqing Valley.
Other places are at least treasure lands for soul masters, but soul masters who enter here will only become playthings of gods.
The gods speak the truth and can grant life or death with just one word. They sit and watch the soul masters fight for life and death, but they remain indifferent to sadness or joy as if they have no emotions at all.
The only place that could remind him of this kind of place was the underground arena opened by the Holy Spirit Church in Mingdu.
The high-handed spectators watched the soul masters on the stage fighting for their lives and had fun. When they were in high spirits, they could even spend gold soul coins to buy one or two opponents who were far weaker than themselves, and go on stage themselves to have a go.
only……
Lin Xiao carefully recalled his feelings along the way. He did not realize when he approached this place. It seemed that after he realized it, he could already see the lake in the valley.
Moreover, in his memory, this place is related to the god of love. To open the Qiankun Valley of Love, there must be betrayal between lovers.
But along the way, Lin Xiao did not feel any remaining souls around, and it did not seem like any sacrifice had been held.
Even if a couple accidentally enters, this should not happen without mutual betrayal.
What made him even more puzzled was that if something had intentionally led him here, what on earth did it see in him?
Time seemed to be constantly passing, yet it seemed to be completely still. In front of Lin Xiao's eyes, there was no other color except a pure white. The silence around him made him a little anxious.
The only good news might be that the feeling of being soaked in water made him feel very comfortable, his body became transparent, and even his strength seemed to have increased a lot.
"teacher……"
They called out softly, but there was no response as Alex and Lin Xiao had expected.
Closing his eyes and taking a long breath, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes again, his expression having calmed down.
Since coming to this world, he has learned many things from the Holy Spirit Church, one of which is that anxiety in one's heart is of no use at all.
He didn't know how much time had passed here, he only knew that the situation he encountered seemed different from the Qiankunwenqing Valley in his memory. There were no other sounds around to give him any strange tests, but only brought him to this space.
