After confirming that Chi Xiao's vital signs were basically stable and that there was not much possibility of immediate sudden death, Xu Le had no intention of staying here any longer.
"Uncle Li, Lao Xia, I have to leave."
"Leave now? We don't know whether she is alive or dead yet. Are you going to take her away now?"
Compared to Xia Libo's surprised attitude, Li Wen on the side just frowned and didn't say much.
Although Xu Le comes and leaves as he says, which seems very irresponsible.
But for safety and functionality reasons.
Xu Le's stay here will not bring any additional benefits to Zion today. The Sky City project does belong to him, and the ancient gods' labor cooperation project was also proposed by him.
However, these plans have gradually entered the right track.
Xu Le does not need to be an executor to continue executing these projects.
His professional skills are too low and he is not as effective as professionals in these fields.
If he stays in Zion himself, he may be regarded as a high-end combat force in Zion.
But at the same time, it will also bring additional dangers to Zion.
And... besides Xu Le, the woman Xu Le brought back also had big problems.
Chixiao.
Li Wen has also read some information about Chi Xiao. Although he doesn't know much, he also knows that Chi Xiao is a member of the military force directly under the Red Moon Temple.
For such a person to suffer such severe and severe injuries, Li Wen felt that there was a high probability that it was related to the Red Moon Temple itself.
For Zion, one Xu Le is enough trouble to deal with.
If we add Chi Xiao, who is even more unable to handle, it will only make Zion fall into greater passivity.
Although only he and Xia Libo knew about this matter, there was no airtight wall.
The news of summoning medical personnel has been released before, and many people will speculate on the situation here.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Li Wen did not intend to keep Xu Le.
"Well, it's okay to go back. Staying here may cause extra trouble."
"Uncle Li still understands me." Xu Le smiled.
After making some simple eye contact with Li Wen, Xu Le covered Chi Xiao with a hospital gown and carried her on his back.
"Uncle Li, a new era is coming. The earth will be the first to bear the brunt. The sky is a safer place, not just Uncle Li, but everyone."
"How to say?"
"You should receive the specific news tomorrow, oh, it should be this morning. I hope you won't be too surprised by then."
"Okay." Seeing that Xu Le didn't say anything directly, Li Wen had no intention of continuing to ask.
"Be careful in the future, I hope I can see the new era you mentioned."
"Soon, Uncle Li, soon, a new era will come."
Taking Chi Xiao with him, Xu Le opened the door of darkness and disappeared.
Li Wen was still smiling, but Xia Libo's expression on the side was more complicated.
"He has become much stronger than before."
"I am very sure of that."
"Why is the minister so sure that he can rise? I remember that you were very optimistic about him very early on."
"Well...probably since he had the guts to try to make a fool of me even though he clearly had no ability."
"Forehead?"
"You don't even dare to do the same thing."
"Understood."
…
Xu Le took Chi Xiao back to the Soul-Eating Tree.
Chi Xiao's will to survive is very strong. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she can be reborn with her own fire of life.
There is no doubt about this.
After the operation, Xu Le no longer needed to intervene in Chi Xiao's recovery.
All he needs to do is protect Chi Xiao here and wait for her recovery.
"Hey, I wonder what will happen to the Red Moon Temple this time."
…
The next morning, except for the Red Moon Temple, the other three major city-states were alerted.
[On the night of the black tide, the Red Moon Temple suffered an unprecedented violent attack]
[The interior of the Red Moon Temple was breached, and a large number of buildings were damaged.]
[There were heavy casualties, with a total of 73 warlocks, 400 soldiers, and more than 1,000 civilians killed.]
Even if this figure is placed in the huge Red Moon Temple, it is still an extremely serious loss.
What is the concept of Red Moon Temple?
Not to mention anything else, in terms of warlock casualties alone, they have been able to achieve zero casualties for several years, even decades.
Some soldiers and civilians died, but that was also because they were not honest enough.
In terms of city-state defense, the Red Moon Temple is said to be the strongest in the world, and no one will refute it.
But in such a powerful place, there were so many casualties.
It made several other major city-states think about what exactly the Red Moon Temple had gone through to be attacked by such a black tide.
"Is there a possibility that the weird things from other major city-states have all gathered at the Red Moon Temple?"
"They have done all bad things, and it is normal for them to receive retribution."
Similar statements can't help but circulate.
But this is just unfounded speculation by the public. On the extraordinary side, there is another theory.
"According to the defensive strength of the Red Moon Temple, even if all the weirdos from the other three major city-states gathered there, it would be impossible to break through the Red Moon Temple.
There are only two possibilities for the Red Moon Temple to cause such huge casualties.
First, there was an internal problem, and the weirdness caused damage to the Red Moon Temple from the inside.
The second is the emergence of high-level weirdness, or other high-level creatures, such as the evil god last time. This time, there may be a higher-level weirdness than the evil god."
This set of statements has relatively high credibility in the circle of extraordinary people.
However, there are still some voices circulating, and the content is probably as follows:
"I heard that the projection of Gu Yinduo's son appeared in the Red Moon Temple, and was eventually defeated by the people of the Red Moon Temple."
"real or fake?"
"The news should be true. My friends from the Red Moon Temple have not denied it."
"My dear, are the people from the Red Moon Temple so strong? Can they even handle Gu Yinduo's son?"
"Don't brag, it's the projection of Gu Yin Duo's son, and there is a difference between it and Gu Yin Duo's son." The man looked proud, as if he had killed the puppet projection.
…
In fact, in reality, there are quite a few people who brag about what a friend of mine is like.
Some people just see it as a joke, but some people can find useful things from this information.
For example, Secretary Liu, such as Li Wen.
After Secretary Liu brought back the news, Li Wen touched the tea cup and thought about what happened last night.
According to the information brought back by Secretary Liu, it is basically certain.
The Red Moon Temple did suffer heavy damage last night.
It is very possible that it is true that Guyin Duo's son projected an attack.
In response to Xu Le's action of saving people last night, and the woman named Chi Xiao...
According to Xia Libo's description, such an attack is not something that a normal warlock can cause, but Chi Xiao's vitality is also even more abnormal.
Perhaps only such a legendary master battle can produce such a result.
"It would be very interesting if that girl killed the projection of Guyin Duo's son last night."
"Why does the minister think so?"
"If this matter was done by people from the Red Moon Temple, then the news coming today is not hearsay, but a good news.
The Red Moon Temple itself is an organization that is very good at publicity. If there is no publicity, it can only mean that there is something fishy about this matter."
Secretary Liu also nodded after hearing Li Wen's analysis.
"Is this Chi Xiao the legendary one-eyed owl? He is already so powerful at the age of more than 20 years old.
Even Xu Le is probably far inferior to her."
Hearing Secretary Liu say this, Li Wen's expression became a little strange.
Maybe...it's really not as good as her, right?
But who knows the relationship between them?
"This matter has nothing to do with us. What we have to do now is to develop today's Zion and today's Sky City.
Remember, a new era is coming, and that will be our era."
"yes."
Secretary Liu didn't know why Li Wen, who had always been very pragmatic, suddenly became angry.
Maybe he has some information channels that he doesn't know about.
Contacting the medical team last night...
Wait, medical team?
Secretary Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, but he immediately realized something. Look at your nose with your eyes, and your nose with your heart.
Don't even think about this kind of thing, thinking too much will only bring disaster to yourself.
…
A few days later, Chi Xiao was wrapped in thick bandages and was peeling fruits with a fruit knife.
She was leaning on a wooden bed, which looked quite rough. It was just a nest dug out of a big tree.
But it's quite comfortable to lean here. The flames above her head have a familiar aura to her.
She knew that this should be Xu Le's territory.
There is no problem in recuperating here.
"Are you back?" Chi Xiao said suddenly.
She felt someone's arrival and put the apple on the table.
In the next few seconds, the space rift fluctuated, and Xu Le, wearing a coat and hat, appeared not far from Chixiao.
"I brought you food." Xu Le smiled, feeling a little unserious.
"How do you know I'm awake?" Chi Xiao asked back.
"Of course, this is my territory, and I know everything here."
Xu Le made a gesture that said everything was under my control, but he soon felt the change in Chi Xiao's expression.
"Know everything? Everything?"
"Well, actually it's not the case. I still haven't seen some parts clearly."
Xu Le felt that it would be better not to say anything.
Fortunately, Chi Xiao just smiled and had no intention of pursuing this sex issue further.
"How long have I slept? How is the situation outside now?"
Xu Le knew that the only force that Chi Xiao could care about was the Red Moon Temple.
"Now that the Red Moon Temple has entered a state of alert, the single black tide has puzzled the four major city-states. However, this is only the first time, and it has not caused any sensational results.
If it’s the second time...it’s hard to say.”
"A separate Kuroshio?"
"Yes, that night, only the Red Moon Temple experienced the black tide."
Xu Le told Chi Xiao roughly what happened in the past few days.
Even the arrival of Gu Yin Duo's son was told to her. After all, Chi Xiao had already fought against the puppet.
However, Xu Le still concealed the matter about killing Hongyue.
This matter is of great importance, and telling Chi Xiao will only bring unwarranted danger to her.
And although the current Chi Xiao is very strong, it is only at the level of the projection of Gu Yin Duo's son, and is still far away from the real son of Gu Yin Duo.
It may be difficult to get involved in this matter.
Chi Xiao sat cross-legged, sorted out the whole thing, and then licked the scabs on his body.
The scabs had turned into brown, and an idea suddenly appeared in Chi Xiao's mind that had nothing to do with the current matter.
"It won't leave any scars..."
Then she looked at her body, and when she saw it, she was immediately discouraged.
"I'm obviously lame, with a broken arm and one eye. How could I have such a strange idea?"
Xu Le also sat down and chatted with Chi Xiao while eating the food in front of him.
"This battle is really amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to defeat a projection head-on."
If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely be humbled by such praise.
But it’s a pity that she is Chi Xiao:
"The son of Gu Yinduo is too powerful, but next time we meet, I won't win in such an awkward manner."
"Oh, it's good that you have confidence. Facing Gu Yinduo's son, I'm afraid that if you lose confidence, you will lose."
"Why?"
“What makes the Sons of Guyinduo so powerful is not only the rules, but also their control and drive of mental energy.
Every son of Guyinduo is a master of manipulating mental energy, don’t be concealed by their appearance, well..."
Seeing Xu Le hesitate to speak, Chi Xiao asked:
"Is there anything you can't say? If you think I'll be angry or can't accept it, then there's no need to say it."
Hearing what Chi Xiao said, Xu Le let go and added a sentence.
"Except for the Night Fury."
"Why should we except the Night Fury? Is she any different from the other sons of Gu Yin Duo?"
"The problem with Night Fury... is that she is too strong and uncontrollable. Under normal circumstances, no one can stop her, not even herself."
After hearing this, Chi Xiao finally understood why Xu Le said that.
"So...the Night Fury doesn't cover up because there is no need to cover up?"
"Yes, the strength has exceeded the normal limit, so she can come to the Red Moon Temple unscrupulously."
"None of the gods in the Red Moon Temple will take the initiative to provoke her. Even Red Moon itself has not appeared once."
After Chi Xiao learned more about Night Fury's strength, her expression became more silent.
Xu Le thought she was in a bad mood, but Chi Xiao soon changed her mind.
"That's good. It can give yourself a goal to pursue for a long time. In this way, you won't be confused for a long time in the future."
"Even if you know it...do you still have no intention of changing your goals? It's really you."
"Then what should we do now?"
Chixiao's heart knot had already opened up. While eating, he asked Xu Le.
Xu Le also took a few mouthfuls of noodles, drew a circle on the ground, pointed at the circle and said:
"Now the core of the matter has arrived at the Red Moon Temple, so... our next goal is to go to the Red Moon Temple."
Hearing that Xu Le was going to the Red Moon Temple, Chi Xiao frowned.
"Xu Le, it's not that I don't want to help you, Red Moon Temple and Tianrui Lifeng are different.
The barrier there is very special, even I can't cheat it."
