Callion stood in the middle of the platform, crossing his arms with a confident smile, while Elder Qiu said to him " Now that you have received your prize, kid, the Emperor will have to end the ceremony with one final speech "
Callion grins and says " Yeah, whatever, just don't make it long, I have something else to do "
Elder Qiu shook his head slightly, but he still smiled at Callion's demeanor. The old man had grown used to him
Below the platform, Teacher Shen, Lang Lin, Yuan Ning, and Wuhan look in the direction where Dakon has disappeared " Teacher Shen, please let's follow him, something isn't good, I can feel it " Lang Lin said with a face full of worry
" Sister Lin, you don't have to worry, I think he just needs some time for himself. Besides, you still have time to grow stronger and make him change his mind " Wuhan said with a confident smile
Lang Lin shook her head and said with a serious expression " It's not that, I saw some people of the Lan Clan follow him after he disappeared, I don't think he will survive if he fought those two old men who chased him, they could be as strong as Teacher Shen "
Wuhan and Yuan Ning looked at Lang Lin with surprised expressions. Then, Teacher Shen said with a serious expression " I saw them too, yet you three wouldn't come with me, those old men wouldn't be easy to handle. The only thing I can do for him is give him some time to escape "
Yuan Ning and Wuhan nodded with serious expressions, but Lang Lin said " Teacher Shen, please let me go with you, I need to see him at least "
Teacher Shen shook his head as he said with a serious expression " No, you can't come with me this time, you could put your life in danger if those old men come for you, besides helping him will attract the animosity of the Lan Clan to our sect, so I will need to hide my identity and leave as fast as I could, you and the others need to go back to the sect "
Lang Lin bowed her head with frustration as she bit her lower lip slightly. Then Teacher Shen said " But hey, I will make him come to see you at the sect, so don't be so sad " Then Teacher Shen left by jumping a great distance into the air
Lang Lin puts a hand on her chest while she whispers " Thank you, Teacher Shen " Then she turns around to see Wuhan and Yuan Ning and says " Let's leave." Wuhan and Yuan Ning smiled and nodded, then the three of them left the place as fast as they could.
At the other side, He An was as worried as Lang Lin " Grandmaster, I need to leave. I have to... "
He An couldn't finish her sentence when Feng Gengxin said " I know little girl, but it won't be necessary, those two old men won't be trouble for him "
He An the other members of the Luhe Palace looked at her with surprise but then Zi Ya said with enthusiasm " It should be obvious big sister, he had grown stronger with each fight, and now he should be even stronger than before, those old men wouldn't be able to do anything to him, besides he can transform into that huge guy like before"
Lei Zhenya hugs Zi Ya from behind and says with a happy voice " This little girl is right, you don't have to worry about him sister An "
He An bows her head and says with a shy voice " I know, but still "
The rest of the members of the Luhe Palace begin to tease He An to the point where she turned red from the embarrassment, seeing this Feng Gengxin couldn't help but smile slightly, and she wondered that maybe if her sect had been like this in the past she and the other members who had die would be one of the strongest sects with the help of the Golden Tyrant and Zhi Ruo as his wife but the mistakes they made can't be changed, but it can be redeemed so she said to He An " I will take you to see him but later something it's about to happen "
The group turned to see her with a look of doubt. That's when the Emperor approached the Edge of the balcony, and the crowd began to applaud as the Emperor raised his hand. The crowd calmed down, and the Emperor started to speak " And with the prize delivered, we officially ended the annual sects' tournament. Thank you all for coming, and thank you to all who participated! "
The crowd cheered one more time. Suddenly, the Emperor's face turned cold, and many people noticed it. Then he says as he looks at Callion on the platform " And now, as a request to everyone here, kill Dakon and Callion! "
The surrounding crowd was shocked beyond disbelief, and nobody did anything until the Emperor said one more time " Elder Qiu, kill that brat! "
Callion stood there in surprise, then Elder Qiu turned around to see him as a faint white aura appeared around him, and then he whispered " Run, kid "
Callion grits his teeth as he notices that many sect members from around the platform jump to climb the platform until he is surrounded. Callion could beat the youngest ones, but right now, even with his Kaio-ken multiplied by 20, he couldn't beat most of the ones surrounding him, and that includes Elder Qiu, so he says " F*ck! " Then *BOOM* a red aura appears around his body, and he shoots toward the sky with amazing speed as the Emperor yells " Don't let them escape! "
The cultivators who were able to fly chased after Callion, matching his speed, while others flew even faster than him. The others that stayed looked around for Dakon, and when they didn't find him, an Elder yelled " Find him! Quick! " The group scattered around the empire, one flying above, looking for Dakon
" Grandmaster! " He An said with worry. Feng Gengxin looks at He An with a serious expression, then she noticed that the matriarch of the Lan Clan shot out from the balcony, so she finally said " Let's go, little girl, the rest of you go back to Xinwei City "
" Yes, Grandmaster " The girls said in unison, and He An and Feng Gengxin left the place
---------------------------------------------------------
A couple of minutes early, Dakon was outside the Empire. He was looking at the electric-style scars on both of his arms. He noticed that the wounds on his left arm were worse than the ones on his right arm, and they were longer. When the wounds on his right arm ended on his elbow, the ones on his left arm reached his shoulder. He couldn't see the end of them, but he was sure that they reached his neck.
" What is happening? " Dakon said as he opened and closed his left fist. Every time he closes his fist, his fingers tremble, and he can't even close his fist properly
" Why didn't the Bean work? " Dakon frowns with a serious expression " This shouldn't be happening, hmm? "
Then Dakon began to run again, taking some distance from the Empire, and at his right, he noticed a trail of red light coming out from the Empire in a very amazing speed. The light was Callion flying away from the Empire at incredible speed, but he noticed that he was being chased by a large group of cultivators. Some flew equally or even faster than him.
Dakon frowns with anger and says " I knew it, that bastard was plotting something " Then he noticed that someone was approaching him at a fast speed, and he knew who it was
" That stupid woman, she still wants to annoy me " Dakon gritted his teeth in anger, and a green aura began to appear around his body. The aura was thin and very calm. His right eye turned yellow, but the other one kept its usual color ' I have had enough of her, but I need to take some distance before facing her, and her group of guards ' Dakon runs towards a dense part of the bamboo forest, and a couple of minutes later, Lan Xue and a couple of old men pass running there.
' Coward, this is your last day alive pig ' Lan Xue smiled cruelly as she was being carried by one of the old men, then they disappeared together in the forest
And after a few minutes, another young woman appeared, Ying Jie, who seemed to be trying her best to catch the group. Her frowning expression didn't show her tiredness, but the amount of energy she had used to keep up was draining her, yet she thought ' I need to see this '
