Seeing Xiao Qingliu in the distance, Yang Xiao felt excited.
However, he knew that now was not the time to meet. He had more important things to accomplish.
Wearing a cloak and only a pair of eyes exposed, Xiao Qingliu could not see Yang Xiao's face.
Yang Xiao didn't stop and walked quickly past Xiao Qingliu.
"Sister Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Bai saw Xiao Qingliu stop and look at the back of a cloaked figure in a daze.
Xiao Qingliu came back to her senses and said calmly:
"No, it's nothing."
Then continue walking forward.
This person's back really gave her a familiar feeling.
"Hey, Brother Yang has been to the Ancient Continent for a long time, why haven't he come back? This guy must have been having fun in the Ancient Continent."
Xiaobai suddenly complained that she also felt unfair for Xiao Qingliu.
Xiaobai himself missed Yang Xiao very much.
"ah?"
Hearing Xiaobai suddenly mention Yang Xiao, Xiao Qingliu was suddenly startled, turned around and ran back to chase the figure of the cloaked man.
"Hey, Sister Xiao, where are you going?"
"I have something to do, you can go back by yourself."
Xiao Qingliu left a word and without looking back, turned into an afterimage and chased after him.
"Hey, where is the person?"
Xiao Qingliu stood at a crossroads, with students from the college constantly coming and going.
She didn't see the back of the cloaked man just now, and she didn't know which way to pursue it.
She wondered if she was thinking too much or was her eyesight?
Although the man's back looked very similar to Yang Xiao's, Yang Xiao would not fail to say hello when he saw her, so she still had confidence in this.
"Did I really see it wrong?"
"Hmph, you stinky guy, you haven't come back to see me for so long, don't let me catch you, or I'll make you look good."
Xiao Qingliu turned around and walked back helplessly with three parts sadness and seven parts longing.
...
Shendu Academy plays a pivotal role in the entire dwarf star.
The fate of the dwarf star lies in Shendu, and the lifeblood of Shendu lies in Shendu Academy.
When Yang Xiao came to Shendu College for the first time, he once heard Ying Tianmo say that among the many students practicing in Shendu College, there were hundreds of extraordinary experts at the imperial level.
Yang Xiao witnessed this with his own eyes when he was training in Shendu Academy.
There are four major energy evolution lakes one thousand meters underground in Shendu Mountain: Thunder Lake, Ice Lake, Lava Lake, and Tiangang Wind. There are a large number of extraordinary and powerful people who practice all year round.
Many people enter Shendu Academy to practice for decades and never go out.
Shendu College is a special existence in the entire dwarf star. The entire Shendu College is separated from the outside world by a defensive light curtain.
This light barrier requires a Saint-level Supreme person to cross. People below the Saint-level Supreme level can only walk through a special passage gate alone, and must undergo strict interrogation. In and out, they need a special jade token from Shendu Academy.
Yang Xiao is now wearing the three-piece God-Slaying Suit, and his genetic evolution has reached the holy level. However, he does not know whether it will cause an alarm if he forcibly passes through the defensive light curtain of Shendu Academy.
He didn't want to alarm Thanos.
Yang Xiao came to the exit of the college, took out the jade plaque of Shendu College, and swiped it on the light curtain door.
The light curtain door opened and he walked out directly.
The two guards guarding the door glanced at Yang Xiao without asking anything.
There are many people coming in and out every day, and as long as you have a jade badge from Shendu Academy, you can come and go freely.
Yang Xiao speculated that the Thanos Mad Saint did not issue a wanted order to Shendu College, so Shendu College's light curtain system did not blacklist Yang Xiao.
After leaving Shendu Academy, Yang Xiao flew to a teleportation array on the outskirts of Shendu, and chose Zhongzhou Wentian City in the light curtain of the teleportation array.
"Hey, what's going on? Wentian City's teleportation array is closed?"
In the past, the Zhongzhou Continent was divided and fought, and no teleportation arrays were established between cities, let alone with Shendu.
After Yang Xiao later unified the Zhongzhou Continent and established the Zhongzhou Empire, he established teleportation arrays between major cities.
The teleportation array is a costly piece of infrastructure.
After Yang Xiao became the elder of the temple, he deliberately established a teleportation array between Wentian City, the capital of the Zhongzhou Empire, and the Divine Capital to facilitate communication between the two places.
There is only one teleportation array in Wentian City from Shendu to the Zhongzhou Empire. After Brother Longjin made a big fuss in Wentian City, Qi Lao had people close the teleportation array channel to Shendu.
Yang Xiao had a vague worry in his heart.
If something hadn't happened, it would have been impossible to close the transmission channel.
The location of the Divine Capital is the Divine Continent, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Zhongzhou Continent.
"It seems that I can only fly by myself. Fortunately, I am now a Saint-level Supreme, so I don't need much time."
Yang Xiao jumped up and turned into a stream of light.
In less than an hour, Yang Xiao arrived at the Zhongzhou Empire.
He did not go directly to Wentian City, but first went to the City of Hope. This was the first city stronghold established by Yang Xiao after coming to Dwarf Star. The current city owner is Chen Peng.
Yang Xiao wanted to be sure of one thing, and that was whether the Mad Saint Thanos had already taken action against the Zhongzhou Empire. After all, if he wanted to deal with him, he would definitely not let Yang Xiao's Zhongzhou Empire go.
Yang Xiao did not go directly to Chen Peng, but walked around the city and found that everything was as usual, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the streets were crowded, and the vendors were doing business.
After leaving the City of Hope, Yang Xiao flew directly to Wentian City, the capital of the Zhongzhou Empire.
As soon as he reached the edge of Wentian City, Yang Xiao felt a powerful murderous aura coming from Wentian City.
what's the situation?
Yang Xiao turned into a stream of light and came directly to the palace compound.
"who?"
"There's an assassin!"
As soon as Yang Xiao landed, dozens of guards gathered around him, and their sword energy surged.
At this moment, Yang Xiao was still wearing a cloak, and his appearance was very strange.
"Tell you Mr. Qi to come out and see me."
Yang Xiao said in a deep voice.
He still didn't plan to show his face for fear of leaking the news that he had returned to the Zhongzhou Empire.
The guards were stunned for a moment, and one of the captains asked warily:
"Who is your Excellency? Why do you want to see our Mr. Qi?"
"I am Qi Lao's friend and I won't hurt you. Or you can ask Heimu, Feihu, or Olitai and others to come over and see me."
Yang Xiao said the names of the four generals of the Zhongzhou Empire in one breath.
The guards surrounding Yang Xiao were stunned. Why is this man so familiar with the generals of the Zhongzhou Empire? It sounded like he was familiar with them.
"Your Excellency, you must inform us of a name, right? Otherwise, how can we reply?"
"No, you just need to tell Qi Lao, 'I'm back'."
After hearing this, the captain of the guard did not dare to neglect. He winked at the guards around him and said:
"You guys watch here, I'll go and report it."
After saying that, the guard turned around and ran into the palace.
Yang Xiao stood in the palace courtyard and saw that several pavilions had been destroyed. Everywhere was full of energy fluctuations and murderous intent. He knew that something unusual must have happened here.
After a while, Qi Lao and Olitai hurriedly walked over and saw a man in a cloak standing in the palace courtyard.
Qi Lao was stunned, took two steps closer, cupped his hands and said:
"I heard that Your Excellency is looking for me?"
"Mr. Qi, it's me."
After hearing Yang Xiao's voice, Qi Lao felt excited and said:
"Yang,"
"Ahem, Mr. Qi, it's me."
Yang Xiao coughed violently, interrupting Qi Lao's words.
"Okay, come in quickly!"
Qi Lao made a gesture, and the surrounding guards immediately made way for a passage.
Qi Lao grabbed Yang Xiao's hand, which was shaking a little, and they walked side by side into a house inside the palace.
