After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 333 Blood Center Epilogue

Inside the Yunyang Academy, the old man stepped out of the pavilion and watched the black light in the sky gradually disappear. A look of relief appeared on his face. He could feel that the spiritual blood flowing in his body had disappeared.

"Now is the time when Yunyang Kingdom needs you the most, so what use is it for you to come here?" the old man asked the black-robed man beside him with a smile.

“I have handed over all matters to the Crown Prince. I have held on long enough, and it is time for me to step down.”

I also feel sorry for him. Without those Nourishing Essence Pills, he might have become an outstanding ancient cultivation practitioner.

"At least the outcome is good. After the True Blood Palace disappears, the Blood Central Realm will return to the Yuan Central Realm. We will also be able to reconnect with the Upper Realm. The children of the Blood Central Realm will have a brighter future, and we will no longer have to suffer from the threat of demonic beasts."

"It seems the Blood Restriction has truly disappeared. In the past, your words would definitely have been sensed by the Ancestor, but now the Ancestor can't do anything to you."

To be honest, none of the successive Kings of Yunyang truly understood what their ancestor was trying to do.

"To be honest, our lineage has listened to the ramblings of the Realm Spirits for thousands of years, and we still don't understand what exactly happened between the Realm Spirits and the True Blood Palace," the old man replied with a smile.

"Haha..." King Yunyang burst into laughter.

“I’m able to relax, but you’ll be busy later on,” the Prince of Yunyang teased.

"I've had enough free time."

"If only He Yu could come back too. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a single day since he was born." King Yunyang sighed deeply.

"According to the prophecy of our ancestors, he may have returned to the Upper Realm with Shen Xu," the old man said quietly.

……

Outside Shuanghe Village, the people of the Four Directions Sword Alliance had been waiting nearby for nearly half a year. Everyone present was increasingly anxious, and a heavy atmosphere permeated every corner of the camp.

You must know that the Sword Saint's future disciple is inside. The Bright Moon Sword Venerable has come three times in half a year, and the inter-domain teleportation array has been checked again and again, but he still hasn't found any problems. However, there is no sign of the person inside coming out.

At this moment, the person under the most pressure among these people is none other than Wang Rong. She is in charge of the entire plan. If Li Xiaoyi is really trapped in it, then even if she dies, she will not be able to escape the blame. But her only choice now is to continue waiting.

"Bai Lu, I already told you I'd let you know if there was any news. Can't you just stay in the sect and wait for the news?" Wang Rong looked at Bai Lu, who was staring at her with hatred, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"So that means there's still no news?" Guan Bi's tone was immediately tinged with disappointment.

"Pressing me won't help. Do you think I don't want them to come back safely? I've made all the necessary preparations!" Wang Rong said angrily.

"Where is Shen Xu?" Bai Lu asked coldly.

“He is a special case. I didn’t know that the interdimensional array pattern could not be imprinted on his body.”

"Then why don't you cancel this mission?"

"Bai Lu, is this how you talk to your elders? At that time, the secret realm and Shuanghe Village were not far apart, how could I throw away such a great opportunity for an insignificant person!"

"Do you still think Shen Xu is unimportant?"

Hearing this question, Wang Rong was speechless. She hadn't expected Shen Xu to be so important to Bai Lu and Ye Zhi. Even the newly elected councilor Qing Yun was very concerned about Shen Xu. It was the first time she had ever met a man who was so popular with the opposite sex.

"Elder! The array patterns in Shuanghe Village have changed!" someone suddenly burst into the tent and shouted.

"What! I'll go right away." Wang Rong suddenly stood up and immediately walked out of the tent, arriving at the array pattern of Shuanghe Village in a few moments.

Bai Lu and Guan Bi, who were inside the tent, felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts, and then hurriedly walked out of the tent.

All they could see was the silver array pattern beneath Shuanghe Village flashing with dazzling light, as if someone was about to appear within it at any moment. Seeing this, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

As the silver light grew stronger, it completely obscured everyone's vision, making it impossible to see what was happening.

After a while, the silver light gradually dimmed, and a human figure appeared in the middle of the array patterns.

Upon seeing that slender figure, Bai Lu and Guan Bi's hearts sank completely. Since only Li Xiaoyi had returned, it meant that Shen Xu was trapped inside.

With Li Xiaoyi back, the Four Directions Sword Alliance would no longer be able to expend a great deal of effort to open a passage to the secret realm behind Shuanghe Village in order to rescue Shen Xu.

But the two women soon noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be another figure under Li Xiaoyi's feet, and the Qiling White Crane was standing on his body.

"Shen Xu!" The two women were immediately overjoyed.

But Shen Xu's condition was clearly abnormal; could it be...?

The two immediately tensed up again and hurriedly stepped forward, but someone was faster than them.

"Xiao Yi, you worried Aunt Wang to death! Are you alright?" Wang Rong asked with great concern as she approached Li Xiao Yi.

Li Xiaoyi looked at Wang Rong with a cold gaze. She only realized that Shen Xu did not have a teleportation array on him when the black-robed figure was about to teleport them back.

Looking at Li Xiaoyi's eyes, Wang Rong couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She knew that Li Xiaoyi also had some feelings for Shen Xu, but she could also feel Shen Xu's steady breathing, so it shouldn't be anything serious.

"This guy is incredibly lucky!" Wang Rong couldn't help but exclaim to herself.

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with Shen Xu?" Bai Lu asked anxiously.

"He's fine, he just needs some rest," Li Xiaoyi replied calmly.

Hearing Li Xiaoyi's words, Bai Lu and Guan Bi immediately felt relieved. "It's good that you're alright!"

"Xiao Yi, what exactly did you encounter in the secret realm that caused such a long delay?" Wang Rong asked.

"The matter in the secret realm is of great importance. I need to report to the Four Directions Council separately after returning to the sect. Elder Wang, you stay here and guard the entrance to the secret realm. Bai Lu and the others will go back together."

Wang Rong's face stiffened, but she also understood that something that Li Xiaoyi took so seriously must be extraordinary, so she solemnly replied, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Bai Lu, my Sky Shuttle is broken inside. I'll have to use your shuttle when I go back this time."

Upon hearing Li Xiaoyi's words, the expressions of the group changed. They all knew the power and defensive capabilities of Li Xiaoyi's Sky Shuttle. What kind of powerful opponent had Li Xiaoyi encountered in the secret realm that could break the Sky Shuttle?

"Okay!" Bai Lu agreed, then took out the flying shuttle and placed it on the open ground in front of her.

“Miss Xiao Yi, let me carry Shen Xu!” Guan Bi suddenly said.

"No need." Li Xiaoyi squatted down, picked up Shen Xu, and walked straight into the shuttle that Bai Lu had just put down.

Seeing this scene, Bai Lu and Guan Bi's expressions were somewhat uncertain. They didn't know what Li Xiaoyi and Shen Xu had experienced in the secret realm, but this time they were probably going to lose completely.

Thinking of the scene in Shuanghe Village where Li Xiaoyi pushed her away, Guan Bi's gaze immediately darkened.
