Chapter 409 Xia Yuling's Decision

Xia Lao and Xia Yingling came to the study, and Xia Yuling was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, concentrating. As soon as Xia Lao walked in, he was the first to speak.

"There's no need to dissuade me. I've made up my mind and will immediately send troops to reinforce the King of Rebellion. You may withdraw for now. By the way, please invite Wang Xiao in."

Old Xia was speechless, and what frightened him even more was that Wang Xiao entered the palace secretly, so how did Xia Yuling know about it?

"Why did you come out so soon?" Xia Yingling was confused. Even if Xia Yuling was determined, he wouldn't stop her from saying a word of dissuasion.

"Your Majesty wants to send troops and also wants to see Wang Xiao. Let's go back first."

"it is good."

And so, the two of them immediately returned.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Wang Xiao asked the same question. He hadn't even finished his glass of water.

"His Majesty asked you to see him. He is in the study, where you have been." Old Xia replied.

"I?"

Wang Xiao tilted his head, various thoughts quickly passed through his mind, and then he stood up and walked towards the study.

"Just let me go meet him again."

Wang Xiao disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Xia Yuling.

"What does your majesty want me to do?"

"After all, this place belongs to the Xia family. You've infiltrated so many times, don't you intend to meet me, the master?" Xia Yuling smiled lightly, stood up and walked to his side: "The war has begun, and Pan Donglin's spies have been withdrawn. This time we can have a real talk."

Having said this, Wang Xiao smiled knowingly.

"It seems the late emperor was right about me. But to cut to the chase, just tell me your plan and what I need to do."

"So, Father has always believed in me?" Xia Yuling felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

Wang Xiao was a little confused. Judging from his expression, could it be that neither he nor his son had ever revealed anything to each other?

"I understand your doubts. I'll discuss the details later. What we need to do now is to eliminate the forces headed by Pan Donglin."

"Eliminate Pan Donglin? The demon tribe is lurking in the north, and you've sent Prince Ning'an and others as reinforcements. How can you possibly have the strength to deal with him?"

"Don't worry, everything is within my plan. Everything is ready, except for the token in your hand." Xia Yuling said calmly, as if he had everything planned out.

Wang Xiao didn't hide anything and frankly took out the token that Xia Qingling had given him, which could control the formation. He rubbed it for a few seconds and then handed it directly to Xia Yuling.

"Thank you. And I need you to do something for me."

"what's up?"

"Run north."

"What?"

Wang Xiao was once again bewildered by Xia Yuling's inexplicable words. Before he could ask again, three auras rapidly approached their location. One was familiar to Wang Xiao; it belonged to Elder Xia. The other two were extremely concealed and extremely fast.

Wang Xiao only glanced at Xia Yuling, then immediately broke through the door and fled. A few breaths later, Xia Lao, Pan Donglin, and Xue Rong appeared in front of Xia Yuling at the same time.

"Where are the people?" Xue Rong asked first.

"Ran."

"Why didn't you stop him?"

"National Master, Pavilion Master, you all know my level of cultivation. I'm really powerless. I knew you were coming but I couldn't react in time. He somehow sensed your movements and ran away immediately." Xia Yuling put away the token early, looking frustrated.

"Okay, send someone to chase after him quickly, maybe we can catch up." Pan Donglin said as he started sending signals to dispatch people, then walked out without looking back, completely ignoring the presence of the Emperor of Daxia beside him.

Xia Yuling suddenly called out to them: "Is there any news about Qingling?"

"Is she the one you care about?"

"I……"

Xia Yuling hesitated as if he was panicked. Pan Donglin stopped and turned his head, with a sneer of disdain on his lips.

Old Xia sighed silently, full of disappointment.

……

"Xiangbei, do you want me to go to the battlefield?"

While Wang Xiao was pondering, two auras approached from behind. Their speed far surpassed even Pan Donglin and Xue Rong. He sensed something was wrong and immediately used the Thunder Stepping Technique to increase his speed to the limit.

Meanwhile, the pursuers behind them were strolling leisurely, seemingly at ease. They were the two who had fought against Daoist Master Qin, Daoist Master Pei, and Patriarch Murong a few days ago.

"Does it require both of us to take action against a young man from another world? This is an exaggeration." The old man in an old robe expressed his dissatisfaction.

"It's a pleasure to cover the sky with one hand and kill a genius." The middle-aged man, who was also wearing an old robe, seemed very interested.

"Genius, coming out of the mouths of those losers, is nothing but an exaggeration, an excuse for their own incompetence..." The old man was suddenly speechless, and his eyelids twitched, because the speed of the target they were chasing suddenly increased, and it was suspected that he had discovered them.

"Interesting, but it's a cat and mouse game. How can the mouse escape?"

The man's feet flashed, and his speed increased to a new level. Seeing this, the old man followed him.

“It’s really tricky!”

Wang Xiao, who was galloping at full speed, felt that the distance between him and the pursuers behind him was decreasing instead of increasing, and began to think of a countermeasure.

"This way."

"Who are you?" Wang Xiao was shocked. Someone was whispering in his heart, but he didn't notice any trace of the other person.

"Yang Yuan Immortal Peach."

"Yang Yuan Xian Tao... Are you a senior member of the royal family?!"

Wang Xiao was excited and flew straight to the direction the messenger had mentioned. Because the Yang Yuan Immortal Peach came from the Chaotic Sky Realm, he had picked it with his wooden sword and gave it to Xia Qingling and the others.

The man in the dark remained silent, perhaps fearing that his aura would be revealed. He didn't move until Wang Xiao followed the direction he pointed and the two pursuers came into his sight.

The old man and the middle-aged man had sharp perceptions and stopped immediately after noticing something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late. The clear sky and earth in their eyes were suddenly replaced by endless darkness.

It was the people in the dark who launched the formation that had been set up long ago, waiting for them to fall into the trap.

In an instant, the universe turned upside down, the sun and moon vanished. In the darkness, their five senses were completely lost, their limbs bound, and they could only allow the sword light to slice through their bodies.

The two of them were no longer as calm as before, and were surrounded by the fear of death.

Dealing with a human boy should be easy and effortless, but now he is in a hurry and can't even roll or crawl.

Soon, the world returned to peace, and nothing was left, as if nothing had happened.

"Disappeared."

Wang Xiao paused briefly to look back, confirming that the two auras chasing him had completely dissipated. The man in the dark still hadn't revealed himself. He understood that this was one of the royal family's trump cards, and perhaps Pan Donglin wasn't even aware of this person's existence.

"Is this your vision?"

Wang Xiao admired the late emperor's words even more and looked forward to everything that would happen next.
