Everyone looked at Xia Longyuan who was sitting cross-legged on the podium, and they were all speechless.
The man who was once so powerful that people thought he would never be defeated, the shadow that made people hate him so much but had to swallow their anger, was gone forever... His death was a little unreal, because before he destroyed the sword spirit, he didn't suffer many injuries.
Just the wound caused by Bo'e's curved knife, maybe the Yujing Sword has a lot of tricks inside, so it's not easy to cure? But he shouldn't die. When the "last breath" fades away, he will be an old man at most. At least he still has some secret cultivation and can live for a few more years.
But everyone present could understand Xia Longyuan's emotions at this moment.
After suppressing the world for decades, he is finally too old and frail to even defeat everyone present... And then he will spend the rest of his life under the protection of his son-in-law who has a wide network of friends and a lot of face
He was pointed at by thousands of people, lived in fear all day long, and sought shelter from others.
Not to mention that Xia Longyuan, who has been proud all his life, would never agree. Even if Li Shentong and Ying Wu Zhuque were asked to think about it, they would not be willing either.
Death is death. After struggling in the world for a lifetime, who wouldn’t be indifferent
It is better to live a life of great fanfare, complete your unfinished business, and leave an indelible mark on the world.
Even if Wang Daoning was killed and his entire clan was wiped out, as long as the Zhenhai Sword was still there, another family could be reborn in the future. Even without the Langya King, there would still be Langya Zhang. But when the four swords were destroyed, there would be no more.
Your organization wants to kill me, so I will destroy your roots. I will get rid of both evils, including myself. Isn't that great
I don’t know how to evaluate it. Everyone has complicated feelings.
No matter how much people hated him and cursed him to die, like Li Shentong Zhuque, they had to admit that this man still had a lot of charisma, and at least he was a real man.
For example, Zhao Changhe, although he had always opposed his approach, was a fellow villager and father-in-law in private. He thought highly of him, and had given him fruit to eat earlier, and did not interfere with his children's affairs. He was also generous to his opposition, "You can kill it yourself." For a "fellow villager" who he did not know, this was enough face.
So although it is normal for others to rebel, Zhao Changhe himself cannot do the thing of "killing himself". He also tried several times to get Chi Chi to reconcile with his father indirectly. This time, he was essentially on his side. No matter how many other overall factors he considered, friendship was also influencing him.
But Zhao Changhe had a premonition long ago that Old Xia only cared about gods and demons and ignored the world. If he was going to get into trouble, it would most likely be because of his own bad deeds, and there would be no need for gods and demons to intervene. He really didn't do things like that... He had tried to persuade him, more than once, and last time he even risked angering him and being killed, but he was stubborn and didn't listen. What could he do
Until now, I have mixed feelings.
Zhao Changhe looked up at Xia Chichi. Xia Chichi didn't say anything. He just looked at him quietly, his eyes seemingly unfocused.
There was a faint light in the sky, but the book of troubled times did not flicker.
Apart from the obscured areas, there are two reasons why the Book of Chaos did not flash. One is that he is not dead yet, and the second is that the Book of Chaos believes that the war is not over yet. It usually only makes a summary after the whole thing is over.
This place was opened up by Ying Wu with the power of space, and people can come and go without any obstruction. So what is the reason
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Daoning.
Wang Daoning took a half step back, planning to break out.
He is still the only Yujing here. If he is determined to leave, he still has a good chance of breaking through. Besides, Li Shentong and Ying Wu may not have a reason to besiege him. It was Li Gongsi who colluded with the Hu people, not him. Before this, he himself did not know about this. It should be said that he was also deceived. Without this mess, the dragon slaying this time would have been more successful. Why did others besiege him? Did they avenge Xia Longyuan? It is hard to say whether Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi will settle accounts with them.
It's not difficult as long as we break out from Zhao Changhe's family.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Li Shentong and Ying Wu both looked at him with some disdainful sarcasm in their eyes, and then they left. When they passed by Xia Chichi, they slightly bowed, the meaning of which was difficult to understand.
Xia Chichi returned the greeting, especially nodded to Li Shentong, but said nothing. In the past, not many people knew that Xia Chichi was Xia Longyuan's daughter. Some people speculated, but without any evidence, more people still believed that Zhao Changhe was the real owner... But the conversation between Xia Longyuan and Zhao Changhe just now was clear. Xia Chichi was the real owner, and Zhao Changhe was his recognized son-in-law.
The two Heavenly Rankings conveyed a silent implication, which was a bit like "Your father's death can be counted on our heads, and we will take over if you want revenge." But it would be strange to say it directly, because Xia Chichi himself wanted to avenge his mother, and Zhuque was one of his teammates this time, so what personal vendetta was there? So he bowed his hands in greeting to see Xia Chichi's attitude.
What Xia Chichi meant was that everyone had no personal grudges and should even be considered teammates.
Among them, Ying Wu is a wanderer, not involved in the struggle for hegemony, while Li Shentong is the leader of a faction. After Xia Longyuan's death, the world has been torn apart. Now, regardless of whether Xia Chichi takes over the position of Emperor Xia, the Four Elephants Sect is the master behind the Jianghuai Cao Gang, and will compete with Li Shentong in the future. So I made an extra gesture, meaning that if I become an enemy of you in the future, it has nothing to do with personal grudges.
Both of them understood, nodded slightly, and left.
Wang Daoning also paused, and was about to leave. In his opinion, since the two of them had left, the other family present had no right to stop him.
"Clang!" Bingpo was unsheathed, and the sword energy was as frosty as ice.
Xia Chichi held his sword horizontally at the entrance of the secret realm and said coldly, "The battle at sea was for different reasons, that's all. This time you teamed up with the Venerable to slay the dragon, but secretly killed our general first. You should give an explanation, right?"
Wang Daoning didn't take her obstruction too seriously, and casually pushed away Bingpo and said with a smile: "After all, the little girl still wants to find an excuse to pour out her feelings about her father's death, but it's a pity that you can't stop Wang."
But this time, he was shocked to find that the sword energy contained a strange water element power, which seemed to resonate with some breath in his body. He was a little stiff for a moment and could not get out for a while!
Surprisingly, the couple who were expected to attack again did not come this time. Instead, Suzaku's voice was heard: "Do you want to fight or should I?"
Xia Chichi retreated a few feet, biting his lower lip and hesitating for a while: "I can't win, I can just raid the enemy. Thank you for your help, Venerable."
Wang Daoning was stunned. What did these people mean
You guys are choosing someone to fight me one-on-one? You even want Xia Chichi to fight
He subconsciously looked at Zhao Changhe, who was hanging not far to Xia Chichi's side, as if ready to join the raid, but he also had no intention of besieging.
Zhuque said calmly, "We already know what's going on after the fight just now... Your control realm is just a facade, just like your sword spirits, using the energy of the sea clan to replenish their strength but without their own enlightenment. Your Wang family clearly intended to suppress the sea, but instead used the sea's energy to replenish their souls. Is this your way of controlling the realm? It's no different from Li Gongsi leading the Hu into the pass, which is ridiculous."
Wang Daoning said coldly: "What does Your Excellency mean?"
"Why do we need to surround you to kill you? I alone am enough!" Flames appeared in Suzaku's hands, illuminating the lower half of his face. There was still blood on the corners of his lips, making him look eerie and beautiful.
Wang Daoning wanted to leave but didn't this time. He sneered and said, "During the siege, Lord Suzaku meant that I was held back by this man and was injured, right?"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Suzaku: “?”
Wang Daoning's hands were filled with mist: "Then let me see what is so special about the three secret treasures of the Suzaku Venerable!"

PS: Sorry for being late again. I caught a cold again these past two days, with a stuffy nose and pharyngitis. It’s strange, I didn’t catch a cold in the past four years, but I caught a cold two or three times in the past one or two months…
Well, I still say that, I don’t update fast, so the development is not that fast either, so I still hope that everyone will not rush to make judgments. For example, someone scolded Ling Jian for not being worthy of Shanhe Yi before, but the situation was reversed, and in the end, they actually said that I changed the outline after being scolded... Ling Jian’s refusal to recognize the head of the family has been laid out for more than 70 chapters until now, and I went back a year ago to change the outline? Can you be reasonable? If I scolded someone wrongly, I scolded him wrongly, and I can’t remember whose ID it is, why do this...
