433 Cutting the Weeds (2/2)

The letter described recent events that happened in Chang'an.

Xia Hou was aware of the two conversations between Xu Shi and Ning Que and he was told about the deaths of Huang Xing and Yu Shuizhu, so he kept quite a long silence after finishing reading the letter.

Since he made a deal with the Academy in Tuyang City last year, he was not willing to pay attention to the stuff about entering the human realm, or he was not as upset as Xu Shi was.

However, the deaths of Huang Xing and Yu Shuizhu alerted him.

They both worked for the Prince and him.

What was more, they were both involved in the event in that year.

Xia Hou did not know why Ning Que aimed at him.

He had killed Lin Ling in the Wilderness and then murdered Gu Xi in Tuyang City. Now, he killed Huang Xing and Yu Shuizhu. Everyone close to him was eliminated by this man's blade.

Although the imperial court and the Academy agreed on his retirement, someone had a second opinion.

”Did anyone manage to escape?”

Xia Hou frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head. He was sure that Lin Guangyuan's son was killed because the little boy was examined by himself.

Then he remembered a rumor in Chang'an.

Ning Que had a good relationship with the princess, Li Yu.

Did he do this for the dragon throne?

Xia Hou looked grim when he thought that someone would hurt his sister and his nephew after his retirement. He would try his best to kill anyone who wanted the throne.

The execution continued.

The heads of the soldiers were chopped and the sad crying sounded without a break.

In the bloody smell, Xia Hou felt a killing intent.

A man showed up in the blue sky above the grassland.

He jumped from the air and rushed toward Xia Hou with a strong intent.

Xia Hou raised his head.

Besides the figure of the man, there was glaring sunshine.

Then he had to blink his eyes.

He was familiar with this.

He had seen this in the Hulan Sea.

Then he had already seen this for several times these days.

He did not panic, and stayed calm and cool.

An aggressive force gushed out of his body.

His leather boots sank into the mud.

Then, the soft mud turned solid in the next moment.

Centering on the boots, the grassland became a wide cobweb.

Xia Hou was standing in the center of it.

Supported by the force of his feet, he flew toward the sky.

His armor was blown in the air and he moved as fast as a bird, like a God in Heaven.

...

...

Tang, the World Wayfarer of the Devil's Doctrine jumped from the sky.

The former powerhouse of the Devil's Doctrine, Xia Hou flew toward the sky.

They encountered in the air above the grassland.

Then it was a bolt from the blue.

The loudest roar yet rang out in the blue sky.

A strong shock wave spread from the air to all directions.

The sheep eating grass miles away were shocked and feigned death on the ground.

The girl who was shepherding fell down off the horse.

The Tang soldiers who were carrying out their orders held their hands to their ears and knelt on the grass with pale faces.

The fierce wind blew the grass down and up, making the broken grass fly all over the meadow.
