After confirming that Chi Xiao's vital signs were basically stable and there was not much possibility of him dying suddenly, Xu Le had no plans to stay here any longer.
"Uncle Li, Lao Xia, I'm leaving."
"Leaving now? We don't even know if she's dead or alive, and you're going to take her away right now?"
Compared to Xia Libo's surprised attitude, Li Wen on the side just frowned and didn't say much.
Although Xu Le's behavior of coming and going as he pleases seems to be very irresponsible.
But for safety reasons, there are also functional considerations.
Xu Le's staying here will not bring any additional benefits to Zion today. The Sky City project does belong to him, and the ancient god labor cooperation project was also proposed by him.
However, these plans have gradually been put on track.
Xu Le does not need to act as an executor to continue to implement these projects.
His professional skills are too low and he is not as effective as professionals in these fields.
If he stays in Zion, he may be regarded as a high-end combat force of Zion.
But at the same time, it will also bring additional dangers to Zion.
And... besides Xu Le, the woman Xu Le brought back also had big problems.
Chi Xiao.
Li Wen had also read some information about Chi Xiao. Although he didn't know much, he knew that Chi Xiao was a member of the Red Moon Temple's direct armed forces.
For a person like this to suffer such severe and serious injuries, Li Wen felt that there was a high probability that it was related to the Red Moon Temple itself.
For Zion, Xu Le alone is troublesome enough and difficult to deal with.
If an even more difficult to deal with Chi Xiao is added, it will only put Zion in a more passive position.
Although only he and Xia Libo knew about this matter, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
The news of summoning medical personnel has been released, and many people will speculate about the situation here.
So for safety reasons, Li Wen did not plan to keep Xu Le.
"Well, it's better to go back. Staying here might cause extra trouble."
"Uncle Li still understands me." Xu Le smiled.
After a brief eye contact with Li Wen, Xu Le covered Chi Xiao with a hospital gown and carried her on his back.
"Uncle Li, a new era is coming, and the first to be affected is the earth. The sky is actually a safer place, not just for Uncle Li, but for everyone."
"What do you mean?"
"You should receive the specific news tomorrow. Oh, it should be this morning. I hope you won't be too surprised then."
"Okay." Li Wen saw that Xu Le didn't say it directly and had no intention of continuing to ask.
"Be careful in the future. I hope I can see the new era you are talking about."
"Soon, Uncle Li, soon, a new era will arrive."
Taking Chi Xiao with him, Xu Le opened the Dark Gate and disappeared on the spot.
Li Wen was still smiling, but Xia Libo's expression was more complicated.
"He's become much stronger than before."
"That's for sure."
"Why are you so sure that he will rise? I remember you were optimistic about him a long time ago."
"Well... probably since he dared to make promises to me even though he clearly had no ability."
"Forehead?"
"You wouldn't dare to do the same thing."
"Understood."
…
Xu Le took Chi Xiao back to the Soul-Devouring Tree.
Chi Xiao's will to survive is very strong. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she can be reborn with her own fire of life.
There is no doubt about this.
After the operation, Xu Le no longer needed to interfere with Chi Xiao's revival.
All he needed to do was to protect Chi Xiao here and wait for her revival.
"Hey, I wonder what will happen to the Red Moon Temple this time."
…
The next morning, except for the Red Moon Temple, the other three city-states were warned.
On the night of the Black Tide, the Red Moon Temple suffered an unprecedented fierce attack.
The interior of the Red Moon Temple was breached and a large number of buildings were damaged.
The casualties were heavy, with a total of 73 warlocks, 400 soldiers, and more than 1,000 civilians killed.
Even for the huge Red Moon Temple, this number is considered a very serious loss.
What is the concept of the Red Moon Temple
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of warlock casualties, they have been able to achieve zero casualties for several years or even decades.
Some soldiers and civilians died because they were not honest enough.
In terms of city-state defense, the Red Moon Temple is said to be the strongest in the world, and no one would refute it.
But in such a powerful place, there were so many casualties.
This made the other major city-states wonder what on earth the Red Moon Temple had gone through to suffer such a black tide attack.
"Is it possible that all the monsters from other major city-states have gathered at the Red Moon Temple?"
"They have done so many bad things, so it is normal for them to suffer retribution."
Similar statements can't help but circulate.
But this is just groundless speculation by the public. There is another set of explanations on the part of the extraordinary people.
“According to the defensive power of the Red Moon Temple, even if all the monsters from the other three city-states gathered there, they would not be able to break through the Red Moon Temple.
There are only two possibilities for the Red Moon Temple to cause such huge casualties.
First, there was an internal problem, and the monster caused damage to the Red Moon Temple from within.
The second is the appearance of advanced monsters, or other advanced creatures, such as the evil god last time. This time, there may be a monster that is more advanced than the evil god. "
This set of statements is relatively credible in the circle of extraordinary people.
However, some voices have been circulated, and the general content is as follows:
"I heard that the projection of the Son of Gu Yinduo appeared in the Red Moon Temple, and was eventually defeated by the people of the Red Moon Temple."
“Is this true or false?”
"The news should be true. My friend from the Red Moon Temple has not denied it."
"My goodness, are the people of the Red Moon Temple so strong? They can even control the Son of Gu Yinduo?"
"Don't brag, it's a projection of the son of Gu Yinduo, there is still a difference between him and the son of Gu Yinduo." The man looked very proud, as if he had killed the puppet projection.
…
In fact, in real life, there are quite a few people who brag about their friend.
Some people just see it as a joke, but some people can find something useful from this information.
For example, Secretary Liu, for example, Li Wen.
After Secretary Liu brought back the news, Li Wen touched the teacup while thinking about what happened last night.
According to the information brought back by Secretary Liu, it can be basically confirmed.
The Red Moon Temple did suffer heavy damage last night.
The attack by the projection of the son of Gu Yinduo was very likely true.
Then, considering Xu Le's act of saving people last night, and the woman named Chi Xiao...
According to Xia Libo's description, such an attack could not be caused by a normal sorcerer, but Chi Xiao's vitality was even more abnormal.
Perhaps only a battle between such legendary masters could produce such a result.
"If the projection of the Son of Gu Yinduo last night was killed by that girl, this would be very interesting."
"Why does the Minister think so?"
"If this was done by the people from the Red Moon Temple, then the news we received today would not just be hearsay, but good news.
The Red Moon Temple itself is an organization that is very good at publicity. If there is no publicity, it can only mean that there is something fishy about this matter."
After hearing Li Wen's analysis, Secretary Liu also nodded.
"Is this Chi Xiao the legendary one-eyed owl? He is only in his 20s, but he is already so powerful.
Even Xu Le is probably far inferior to her."
Hearing what Secretary Liu said, Li Wen's expression became a little strange.
Maybe... I am indeed not as good as her
But who knows the relationship between them
"This matter has nothing to do with us. What we need to do now is to develop Zion, the city in the sky.
Remember, a new era is coming, and it will be our era."
"yes."
Secretary Liu didn't know why Li Wen, who had always been very pragmatic, would suddenly make such a promise.
Maybe he has some information channels that I don't know about.
Contact the medical team last night...
Wait, the medical team
Secretary Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, but he immediately realized something: the eyes follow the nose, and the nose follows the heart.
Don't even think about this kind of thing. Thinking too much will only bring trouble to yourself.
…
A few days later, Chi Xiao was wrapped in thick bandages and was peeling fruit with a fruit knife.
She was leaning on a wooden bed. The bed looked quite rough, just a nest carved out of a big tree.
But it was quite comfortable to lean here, the flames above her head had a familiar scent.
She knew that this should be Xu Le's territory.
There is no problem recuperating here.
"Are you back?" Chi Xiao suddenly said.
She sensed someone's presence and placed the apple on the table.
A few seconds later, the space crack fluctuated, and Xu Le, wearing a coat and a hat, appeared not far from Chi Xiao.
"I brought you some food." Xu Le smiled, but it seemed a little unserious.
"How do you know I'm awake?" Chi Xiao asked back.
"Of course, this is my territory, I know everything here."
Xu Le made a gesture as if everything was under control, but he soon felt the change in Chi Xiao's expression.
"Learn everything? Everything?"
"Uh, not really. I still can't see some parts clearly."
Xu Le felt that it would be better not to say anything.
Fortunately, Chi Xiao just smiled and didn't pursue the matter any further.
"How long have I slept? What's the situation outside now?"
Xu Le knew that the only force that Chi Xiao cared about was the Red Moon Temple.
"The Red Moon Temple has now entered a state of alert. The Black Tide alone has caused confusion among the four major city-states, but this is only the first time, and it has not caused any sensational consequences.
If it’s the second time… then it’s hard to say.”
"A separate Kuroshio?"
"Yes, that night, only the Red Moon Temple experienced the black tide."
Xu Le told Chi Xiao roughly what had happened in the past few days.
He even told her about the arrival of Gu Yinduo's son, after all, Chi Xiao had already fought with the puppet.
However, Xu Le still concealed the fact of killing Hong Yue.
This matter is of great importance, and telling Chi Xiao will only bring her unnecessary danger.
Moreover, although Chi Xiao is very powerful now, he is only at the level of the projection of the Son of Gu Yinduo, and is still far from the real Son of Gu Yinduo.
It may be difficult to participate in this matter.
Chi Xiao sat cross-legged, sorted out the beginning and end of things, and then picked off the scabs on his body.
The scab had turned brown, and a thought that had nothing to do with the current situation suddenly appeared in Chi Xiao's mind.
"It won't leave any scars..."
Then she looked at her body, and when she saw it, she immediately deflated.
"I am a cripple, with a broken arm and one eye. How could I have such a strange idea?"
Xu Le also sat down and chatted with Chi Xiao while eating the food in front of him.
"This battle was really amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to defeat a projection head-on."
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be humble when being praised like this.
But unfortunately, she is Chi Xiao:
"The ability of the son of Gu Yinduo is too strong, but next time we meet, I won't win so miserably."
"Oh, it's good that you have confidence. Facing the son of Gu Yinduo, I'm afraid that if you lose confidence, you will definitely lose."
"Why?"
“The strength of the Sons of Ancient Yinduo lies not only in the rules, but also in their control and manipulation of mental energy.
Every son of Gu Yinduo is a master of manipulating mental energy. Don't be deceived by their appearance. Hmm..."
Seeing Xu Le hesitated to speak, Chi Xiao asked:
"Is there anything you can't say? If you think I'll be angry or can't accept it, then there's no need to say it."
Hearing Chi Xiao say this, Xu Le relaxed and added another sentence.
"Except for the Night Fury."
"Why did you have to eliminate Night Fury? Is she any different from the other Children of Guindo?"
"The problem with the Night Fury... is that she is too strong. She is uncontrollably strong. Under normal circumstances, no one can stop her, not even herself."
After hearing this, Chi Xiao finally understood why Xu Le said that.
"So... Night Fury doesn't hide himself because there's no need to?"
"Yes, the intensity has exceeded the normal limit, so she can come to the Red Moon Temple unscrupulously."
"None of the gods of the Red Moon Temple would take the initiative to provoke her. Even the Red Moon itself has never appeared once."
After Chi Xiao got to know Ye Sha's strength better, her expression became even more silent.
Xu Le thought she was in a bad mood, but Chi Xiao soon changed her mind.
"That's good. It gives me a long-term goal to pursue. This way, I won't be confused for a long time in the future."
"Even if you knew... you didn't plan to change your target? It's you after all."
"So what should we do now?"
Chi Xiao's heart knot had already been untied, and he asked Xu Le while eating.
Xu Le also took a few sips of noodles, drew a circle on the ground, pointed at the circle and said:
"Now the core of the matter has come to the Red Moon Temple, so... our next goal is to go to the Red Moon Temple."
Hearing that Xu Le was going to the Red Moon Temple, Chi Xiao frowned.
“Xu Le, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, the Red Moon Temple and Tianrui Lifeng are different.
The barrier there is very special, even I can't fool it."
"It doesn't matter. I have my own way."
