Having made his decision, Lin Xiao and the Abomination Douluo no longer lingered. On the way, while flying, Lin Xiao glanced at the Abomination Douluo's wound, wanting to see exactly what kind of attack it was that could leave even someone with the Abomination Martial Soul unable to recover for so long.
However, when the Abomination Douluo raised his hand, aside from the fresh blood overflowing from the wound, Lin Xiao also saw a silver-white mark, like the clear radiance of moonlight spilling down, remaining there and continuously destroying the Abomination Douluo's body.
Lin Xiao's movement suddenly paused.
"What's wrong? Is it very troublesome?"
The Abomination Douluo lowered his head to look at Lin Xiao.
"No." Lin Xiao shook his head. "I just feel that this kind of attack is very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."
"It should be someone you've met before."
"Perhaps." Lin Xiao let out a soft sigh.
It wasn't just that he had seen it before; he had seen it more than once.
And the person who left this attack soon appeared before Lin Xiao and the Abomination Douluo.
"Old Eight, run quickly! She's not easy to deal with. Right now, I can only hold you back. I'll stay here to block her for you. Hurry and run toward the Extreme North!"
Seeing the figure that appeared in the wind and snow in the distance, the Abomination Douluo's expression changed drastically.
Although she had not yet come close, the moment she attacked earlier, she had left such a heavy wound on him; how could he possibly forget that figure so easily?
Lin Xiao naturally also saw that figure, even before the Abomination Douluo did. However, he did not stop his steps and continued walking forward.
The cold wind howled in his ears. As the distance grew shorter, that figure became clearer and clearer until their eyes met, and both of them stopped walking at the same time without prior agreement.
Although it had been a very long time since they last met, upon meeting again, it felt as if it were only yesterday.
Opposite Lin Xiao, Zhang Lexuan glanced at the Abomination Douluo beside him. Without needing to say anything, she already understood Lin Xiao's intention. With a gentle lift of her hand, the mark on the Abomination Douluo's body quietly disappeared.
"Long time no see."
"Yes, long time no see."
The Abomination Douluo beside them looked at Zhang Lexuan in front of him, then turned his head to look at Lin Xiao. For a moment, he even forgot about his own wound. A surprised voice escaped from his mouth.
"Old Eight, she's also one of our Holy Spirit Cult people?"
As soon as the Abomination Douluo finished speaking, both Lin Xiao and Zhang Lexuan turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
Even Lin Xiao, who had some understanding of the Abomination Douluo, could not guess for a moment what kind of thought process could lead him to such a conclusion.
Looking at Zhang Lexuan again, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. The expression that had been aloof and cold before was no longer there. It was as if a pebble had been dropped onto the surface of a lake, shattering the calm moonlit reflection and causing the otherworldly immortal fairy on the moon to fall into the mortal world.
She could no longer care about anything else and threw herself toward Lin Xiao.
"I always thought you were already dead."
Warm softness entered his arms. Lin Xiao's figure froze in place, and his heart seemed to tremble slightly.
From "dying" in the military camp, to escaping and heading to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters to search for Electrolux's divine sense fragment, then rushing all the way to the Extreme North.
To Lin Xiao himself, it seemed like nothing more than a simple means of escape.
But in the eyes of others, in the battle at Heaven Dou City, the Sun Moon Empire took the opportunity to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult. Both the Cult Master and Vice Cult Master died, and even the former Dark Sacred Dragon Long Xiaoyao perished together with Mu En.
As an elder who followed the army, Lin Xiao had no reason to have survived.
Especially in the eyes of Zhang Lexuan, who had always been paying attention to news about him, he had long since died together with those evil soul masters in the army.
Lin Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say "sorry," but then felt as though this wasn't the first time he had said such words to Zhang Lexuan.
The Abomination Douluo watched the two people in front of him, his mind completely blank. It took him great effort to finally react and realize that the relationship between these two was not ordinary.
But just as he reacted and looked again, the two figures had already vanished from sight, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
"Your cultivation has improved again." On the other side, before Lin Xiao could speak, Zhang Lexuan's soft voice came from within his embrace.
"You sensed it?"
Zhang Lexuan nodded, then loosened her arms, though she did not lift her head. "I sensed the spatial fluctuations."
"Back then, how did you survive?"
"The situation back then was a bit special." Lin Xiao did not hide anything. Walking side by side with Zhang Lexuan across the snowfield, his voice carried out and then vanished into the cold wind.
"And you? Why did you come here?"
"To search for traces of Ye Xishui."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped walking and looked at Zhang Lexuan, frowning slightly. "Ye Xishui is a Limit Douluo. How could Shrek Academy let you come?"
"It was my own decision to come." Zhang Lexuan also stopped, letting out a soft sigh. "Right now, Shrek Academy no longer has enough manpower."
Seeing the confusion on Lin Xiao's face, she turned and slowly walked forward again.
"More than two months ago, after the battle at Heaven Dou City, Xuan Lao led people to sneak into the military camp to search for Little Tao's whereabouts, but on the way back with her, they were ambushed."
"Song Lao was seriously injured, and Xuan Lao's foundation was also damaged. He's still recovering even now. Dean Yan has secluded himself because of what happened before. Currently, Shrek Academy is being held together only by the three deans and me. Yet at this very moment..."
Zhang Lexuan did not continue, but Lin Xiao already knew what she meant.
At this very moment, rumors about Shrek Academy were spreading everywhere, and voices of doubt had also appeared among the three great empires.
If at this time Shrek Academy could still stand up as it had four thousand years ago, perhaps the questioning voices would be much smaller. But the top experts of Shrek Academy were either dead or injured, and they could no longer send out more people.
Before this, Lin Xiao had not known many details about Shrek Academy's situation. Now he suddenly understood why mere rumors could have such a huge impact on Shrek Academy.
It was not only the Sun Moon Empire's guidance; someone was deliberately making those rumors seem more real.
Although Xu Tianran still held some fantasies about Shrek Academy and had not dealt with them the way he dealt with the Holy Spirit Cult, their situation was not much better.
"Ye Xishui is already dead." Lin Xiao took a step forward and walked together with Zhang Lexuan.
"You killed her?"
"No." Lin Xiao shook his head. "I don't really want to comment on the feelings between the three of them from a hundred years ago, but Ye Xishui died precisely because of that tragedy from a hundred years ago."
"Feelings..." Mentioning this matter, Zhang Lexuan seemed to finally understand what Mu En had meant when he spoke to her long ago.
For a time, the two were silent, walking aimlessly across the snowfield like this.
Or perhaps, as long as they were by each other's side, where they went didn't actually matter.
It was only after a long while that Zhang Lexuan slightly turned her head to look at Lin Xiao. "What are your plans from now on?"
