Then the problem was…
Entering the ruins right under Bei Huai’s nose, would only lead to a dead end after you came out, right?
“This path is impa.s.sable!”
“Turn it around, brain!”
“You’re the one who killed Feng Kong and Shao Yi!”
Xu Xiaoshou’s true body’s will was about to split apart.
The pressure exerted by Bei Huai was much greater than that of w.a.n.gze Holy Emperor. Most of it came from the Ten High n.o.bles.
To be one of the Ten High n.o.bles, he was definitely not someone who was incompetent!
For Bei Huai to become a Holy Emperor at such a young age… Xu Xiaoshou didn’t even dare to make this speculation: was he stronger than Bazhun’an?
“You’re still deep in thought?”
Not far away, a faint voice interrupted Xu Xiaoshou’s thoughts.
The Holy Emperor Qilin was still very apologetic.
The Berserk Giant who was filled with Jin Ren’s will still cried bitterly.
Xu Xiaoshou finally realized that he should actually take a look at Bei Huai.
Hence, he followed the voice through his Perception and saw the man who walked over from the shattered world.
He was tall and looked very young, around 25 or 26 years old. However, when he looked closely, he couldn’t see his face.
He was dressed in white and was barefooted. There was a faint sadness hidden between his hazy brows. When one looked carefully, it seemed to be an illusion.
Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t tell anything!
The only thing he could be sure of was that this was not Bei Huai’s true body. At most, it was a thought incarnation of his Holy Emperor intent.
“So much so that…”
Xu Xiaoshou felt bitter.
What Bei Huai said was even more terrifying.
“I can see that you are able to maintain your calm under my power.”
“Dao Qiongcang said that you have a very special clone, perhaps more than one… Is it because of that?”
Bei Huai did not get too close.
He stopped at a very high position and looked down at the Qilin and the Berserk Giant who hugged each other and cried.
Intangible raindrops fell onto the shattered world, as if even the Great Path of Heaven and Earth began to cry.
“None of that is important.”
“I didn’t come for you.” Bei Huai shook his head and said softly.
Xu Xiaoshou, who remained hidden in the Ran Ming ruins, felt that he had been saved from a dire situation.
Not for me?
In other words, there was still hope?
Dao Qiongcang… That’s right, Elder Dao the Flamboyant was only a demi-saint, how could he prompt a Holy Emperor?
Bei Huai must have his own motives for his actions!
“What was it?”
Xu Xiaoshou almost changed his will and let the Berserk Giant ask this question, but he resisted the urge and continued to cry meaninglessly.
Bei Huai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the world became even more sorrowful. He muttered to himself.
“I lost a very important test subject.”
“Because of this, I even wish I could kill my way to the Wu Rao Emperor Realm. However, this is not right because there are still ways to remedy this.”
Xu Xiaoshou’s heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Bei Huai continued.
“I once thought of using the power of a Holy Emperor to crush the Xu Yue Grey Palace and bring over the replacement I wanted.”
“This won’t do either!”
“First, a cornered beast will fight back. I don’t want too many chaotic battles.”
“Secondly, if the Holy Emperor makes a move in the five regions, all lives will be plunged into misery. I can’t bear to see that.”
“Thirdly, the other four families will definitely not sit by and watch me dominate. If we annex them, they will definitely hinder me in every way.”
Xu Xiaoshou was even more confused.
He did not understand what Bei Huai was talking about.
Could it be that after he became the descendant of the Holy Emperor, he had become too lonely and had learned to talk to himself and spout nonsense like him?
Bei Huai paused for a moment, then laughed.
“Dao Qiongcang’s path is quite good. It’s very roundabout and tactful. I’ve decided to learn from him and ask him for help.”
“I’ll start to wait.”
“I inquired about its whereabouts and heard that it left home and went on a long journey. I didn’t make a move.”
“In exchange, it accompanied someone else. Its whereabouts has been exposed, so I didn’t make a move.”
“It appeared in the White Cave, in the Eighth Palace, in Dongtianw.a.n.g City, in the Yunlun Mountain Range, in Abyss Island… I didn’t make any moves. I endured it for a long time.”
Xu Xiaoshou’s scalp went numb.
He felt that this ‘it’ referred to him?
After all, those were the places he had been to along the way!
Bei Huai looked at the Berserk Giant who was still crying on the Qilin’s body and slowly said.
“Because Dao Qiongcang told me…”
“He said that there’s no need to be anxious. When the time is up, it will walk right into the trap.”
He paused.
Bei Huai turned around slowly and extended his hand.
There seemed to be a smile on his blurry face.
Through his Perception, Xu Xiaoshou saw an additional image on Bei Huai’s hand.
In the blurry background, where only the shadow of the Stairway to Heaven could be seen, Dao Qiongcang smiled at a man in white and said.
“It’s time.”
Without a doubt, the white-robed man was the barefooted Bei Huai.
Without a doubt, the ‘time’ that Dao Qiongcang mentioned was ‘now’!
Bei Huai waved his sleeve and the image in front of him disappeared. He praised sincerely.
“Dao Qiongcang is indeed powerful.”
