Chapter 84: Planning to Return to the Jia Ma Empire
Since they had already familiarized themselves with the path once, it didn't take Xiao Ming as long as before to get out this time, and in less than ten minutes, the three of them were outside the cave.
Standing not far from the entrance of the cave, Xiao Ming turned around and while looking at the passageway said to Xue Tian standing beside him.
"Xue Tian, since you will be following me in the future, there is no need to maintain this dwelling, so let's destroy it to avoid any accidents with the Core Quenching Body Milk we have left behind, it would be a pity if the stalactites that can only form in ten thousand years are destroyed."
"Mm." At these words, Xue Tian nodded and, without the slightest hesitation, walked straight to the side of the cave entrance and waved his arm.
Rumble!
An enormous force was transmitted from Xue Tian's sturdy arm to the mountain wall, which collapsed and sank under the heavy blow.
After a few more swings of his arm, Xue Tian returned behind Xiao Ming, and now the cave entrance was completely covered by the collapsed rocks.
Seeing this, a pair of flaming red wings over a meter long appeared behind Xiao Ming's back, and his body floated in the air.
"Xue Tian, you've managed to transform into human form, so you should be able to create your wings with Dou Qi, right?"
Seeing Xue Tian nodding his head, Xiao Ming told them that it was time to leave.
He then turned into a shadow of light and flew off into the distance.
Zi Yan and Xue Tian, who remained in the same place, also sprouted a pair of wings on their respective backs and soared into the sky, chasing after Xiao Ming.
...
A few minutes later, Xiao Ming and the others arrived at the place where the Inner Academy was located.
"Who is coming? Please stop."
Just as Xiao Ming was about to approach the Inner Academy's barrier, a powerful shout came from the barrier.
Hearing the questioning voice, Xiao Ming was not surprised and steadied himself in midair as he said loudly, "Elder Su, it's me, Xiao Ming."
Zi Yan and Xue Tian also stopped beside him.
"So it's Xiao Ming and Zi Yan." The old man heard the words, opened the barrier, and revealed his face.
Looking at his appearance, it was none other than Elder Su, one of the two elders Xiao Ming had met when he entered the Inner Academy.
In fact, with Xiao Ming and Zi Yan's status and means, they would not have stopped at the entrance of the Inner Academy, because the barrier had a special identification method.
Elder Su appeared only because of Xue Tian, an unknown powerhouse.
Xiao Ming had been an elder for over a year and was already very familiar with Elder Su and the other elders, so Elder Su directly asked, "Xiao Ming, who is the one next to you?"
"This is the magical beast Snow Sky Demon Ape, who has now successfully transformed and is preparing to return to the Jia Ma Empire with me to meet the human world." Xiao Ming introduced with a smile.
After replying to Xiao Ming that there was no problem, he turned his curious gaze towards Xue Tian.
"Cousin, who is this?"
"His name is Xue Tian, he is a powerhouse in the Dou King realm and will be returning to the Jia Ma Empire with us this time."
Returning to the Jia Ma Empire was something Xiao Ming had planned a long time ago, now that he was at the Jia Nan Academy, his cultivation speed was no longer as fast as before, plus the Dou King breaking through to Dou Emperor was another big obstacle, so he planned to use the Nether Poison Flame as well as the Green Lotus Core Flame to breakthrough.
In addition, he also wanted to go to the Nalan family to exchange the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva for his master, Elder Huo.
It would help him reach the sixth-tier alchemist.
Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, had originally heard about Xiao Ming's departure when he was talking to Elder Su, and now that she heard him and Xiao Shan talk about his departure again, she couldn't help but say.
"Xiao Ming, I also want to go with you!"
Zi Yan had long wanted to find a reason to leave the Inner Academy and go out adventuring, but First Elder Su Qian had refused to let her leave.
Now that Xiao Ming was leaving was a good opportunity and she should take advantage of it, besides, after Xiao Ming left, there would be no one to refine pills for her to eat. This could not be tolerated, she did not want to continue eating those nasty herbs.
As for Zi Yan's request, Xiao Ming already expected it and simply nodded and agreed.
"Yes, but when you go out, you have to listen to me and not run around, or I will definitely send you back."
Xiao Ming knows Zi Yan very well, she was a character who could not sit still, moreover, her own strength was quite good and she was not afraid of anything, she often ran around, so he had to put conditions on her, otherwise she might cause a lot of trouble.
"Understood, then I'll go talk to First Elder right now!"
Seeing that Xiao Ming agreed to take her back, Zi Yan's face showed a delighted look as she rushed out in an instant.
"Senior Zi Yan is still so energetic!"
Looking at the place where Zi Yan had disappeared, Xiao Shan said with a sigh.
During these few years, he naturally met Zi Yan.
When he first met Zi Yan, he thought that Zi Yan was the granddaughter of one of the elders, and when Xiao Ming told him that Zi Yan was even stronger than him and that he should be careful not to make her angry, he was still a bit incredulous, thinking that Xiao Ming was joking.
Who is Xiao Ming? He was the first genius of Jia Nan Academy, how could this girl be stronger than him?
Who would believe it? Well, he didn't.
It wasn't until he saw Zi Yan slap a powerful peak Dou Spirit who was in the Strong Ranking and leave him severely injured.
Only then did Xiao Shan realize that what Xiao Ming had said was true, that he was not joking, and that this girl's strength was truly terrifying.
Ever since he had seen how fierce Zi Yan was, Xiao Shan had always been respectful to Zi Yan and did not dare to have too much contact, for fear of getting hit and being bedridden for a few days...
