Silver lights flashed everywhere. Without thinking, Xie Lian's first reaction was to block it with his hands. Ruo Xie was wrapped around his wrist, so he would automatically attack in critical situations. However, the silver butterflies did not attack him at all, but bypassed him and pounced on the two people behind him who were just wrestling.

Feng Xin and Mu Qing had suffered a lot from these undead butterflies before, and they knew how powerful they were. How could they be careless? Almost instantly, they raised their hands at the same time and shouted, "Shield up!"

Thousands of silver butterflies flew towards them, flapping their wings like the wind, but were blocked by an invisible wall in front of the two people. They hit them like a rainstorm, banging, emitting fierce white light, like sparks flying everywhere. It turned out that they had deployed two magic shields in front of them. But even if these undead butterflies were blocked by the magic shields, they were unstoppable and endless, like moths to a flame, so crazy that even with the magic shields, the two people were hit by this artillery-like rain of butterflies and had a tendency to retreat.

They were careless for a moment and were taken advantage of. If they didn't open the shield, the dead butterfly would get close to them. If they opened the shield, they couldn't get their hands to take out their weapons. Feng Xin and Mu Qing secretly complained and gritted their teeth to hold on. Feng Xin saw Xie Lian still standing in front with his head down, and immediately shouted, "Your Highness, be careful not to stand there, get behind the shield!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Lian turned around and found that he was unharmed. He frowned and asked, “Huh?”

The two of them took a closer look and almost vomited Ling Xiao's blood on the spot. Xie Lian was holding a dead butterfly in his palm, with a dazed expression on his face. When the turbulent butterfly wind blew just now, one of them flew particularly slowly and could not keep up with the group. It flapped its wings and floated in front of Xie Lian for a few times. Xie Lian saw that it seemed to be trying particularly hard, and he always felt that this little silver butterfly was about to stop flying, so he couldn't help but stretch out his palm and hold it loosely under it. The silver butterfly flapped happily in his palm and refused to move. Seeing this, Feng Xin's forehead veins bulged, and he said, "Don't touch that thing with your hands!!!"

At this moment, Xie Lian's wrist suddenly tightened. Someone grabbed him and pulled him hard. He was pulled into the darkness behind the gate.

However, even though he was in darkness, he did not feel the slightest bit of uneasiness or vigilance. The darkness seemed to be a layer of gentle armor, which not only did not bring danger, but also made him feel inexplicably at ease.

Although the person behind the darkness has not yet appeared, the silver butterfly has arrived. How could he not know who the person is? Mu Qing said in disbelief: "You are so bold that you dare to come to Xianjing to cause trouble. It's too arrogant!"

A voice laughed and said, "Same here, isn't it pretty arrogant of you to go to the Heavenly Court and come to my territory?"

Even though he had already guessed who was holding him captive, Xie Lian was still shocked when he heard this familiar voice coming from so close. He then immediately said, "Huacheng, the Emperor is in Xianjing, put him down!"

Hua Cheng sneered: "That depends on whether you have the ability."

As soon as the words fell, the door slammed shut!

Xie Lian felt Hua Cheng holding him tightly with one hand, leading him along the way. It was pitch black in all directions, and the sound of the silver chain on the black boots tinkled in his ears. The ground under his feet was uneven and bumpy. It was indeed not the bright and open streets of Xianjing, but a wilderness valley.

Hua Cheng must have used the technique of shrinking the earth to connect the gate of Xianle Palace to this valley. However, it is not so easy to connect one place in Xianjing to other places by shrinking the earth. At least, it is impossible for non-celestial priests to do it. I wonder how he did it? Just as Xie Lian was about to speak, a loud shout suddenly exploded in his ears: "Your Highness! Where are you?!"

The one who shouted angrily was Feng Xin. Although the voice was beside his ears, the person was not in front of him. He shouted in the spiritual communication array. Xie Lian's eardrums were slightly aching from his shouting. Many priests were also blown away and asked in fear, "What's wrong, General Nanyang! What happened?"

Mu Qing also entered the spiritual communication array and said, "Something happened! Where is Ling Wen? Quickly inform the Emperor that Xie Lian has escaped!"

He usually spoke softly and politely, but now he sounded a little angry. Lingwen said, "What? I'll go to the Fairy Palace to take a look!"

A priest said in surprise: "The Third... Prince escaped? Isn't he under house arrest in Xianle Palace?!"

Shi Qingxuan also entered the spiritual communication formation and said, "Just now I clearly saw a bunch of little martial gods from the middle heaven watching outside the Xianle Palace. They can only enter but not leave. How could they run away?"

Feng Xin said again: "He didn't run away, he was kidnapped! Your Highness, can you still hear us? Where are you now?!"

When they heard that he was kidnapped, everyone was even more shocked: "This is Xianjing, who is so arrogant!"

For a moment, everyone wanted to speak loudly, and everyone wanted an answer. The matter between Master Fangxin and Lang Qianqiu has not been settled yet. Jun Wu restrained Xie Lian's feet, but he is gone. Isn't this just creating more trouble and more gossip? No matter what, we must find him back first. So Lingwen went to check the situation and find out where Xie Lian is at the moment. Feng Xin and Mu Qing shouted loudly in the formation, looking for martial arts officers who could spare their hands to chase him. Shi Qingxuan dispersed several waves of merit again. People were upside down and talking in the spiritual formation. Xie Lian couldn't get in at all. He took a deep breath and was about to yell for everyone to calm down, but Huacheng suddenly turned around and extended two fingers. The cold knuckles gently rested on his temple. Huacheng smiled and said, "Haha, it's been a long time. How are you?"

With a light touch of his two fingers, he passed through Xie Lian and entered the spiritual communication array of the Upper Heaven. This calm sentence was not only heard by Xie Lian beside him, but also by all the priests who were busy in the spiritual communication array of the Upper Heaven. After hearing it, they instantly fell into a deathly silence.

“…” “…” “…”

There was a silent roar in everyone's heart.

No wonder he was so arrogant. I wondered who he was. Turns out it was this person!

Hua Cheng added: "I don't know if you guys miss me, but I don't miss you at all."

“…”

There are indeed many priests in the heaven who secretly miss him every day, but when they heard him say that he didn't miss them, they silently chanted "Heavenly Officials Bless You Without Taboos" and thank you. Thank you. Please don't miss us in the future. At this time, Hua Cheng said with a smile: "However, I have been very idle recently. If someone is also idle and wants to learn from me, it is very welcome."

“…”

In this situation, his words were very clear.

"If any of you are brave enough to catch up, I will challenge this person next time."

If you accept this challenge, you will definitely lose, and if you don't accept it, you will lose face. Isn't this a naked threat? ?

Just now, when they heard that Xie Lian had actually escaped or been kidnapped, the spiritual array was simply boiling with excitement. After all, it was a rare disturbance, and everyone was extremely concerned. Several martial gods had already responded and were ready to join the pursuit. However, after Hua Cheng finished speaking these three sentences, they all disappeared in an instant. If Jun Wu had issued an order to appoint someone to pursue head-on, there would be nothing we could do, and we would have to handle the matter impartially. However, the incident had just happened and it was a mess, so naturally no one wanted to take the blame. No one wanted to be remembered by Hua Cheng. So they all pretended that they were not there, while keeping their ears open and paying close attention to the development of the situation. At the same time, they were in a state of panic: this Blood Rain Scholar was too unscrupulous, and actually ran to the Heavenly Palace to kidnap people, and the one he kidnapped was the laughing stock of the Three Realms - was there a deep hatred or something else? ? ?

There was silence over there, with only Feng Xin's angry voice. Hua Cheng removed the two fingers after he finished speaking and said to Xie Lian, "Ignore them."

Xie Lian blurted out, “San Lang…”

Hua Cheng let go of his hand and said, "This place is not far from Xianjing, let's go."

His voice was low, and no emotion could be heard. He let go of Xie Lian's wrist very quickly, almost as if he had shaken it off. Xie Lian suddenly remembered the scene when he touched him and was shaken off when they first met, and he was stunned on the spot.

He wanted to ask Hua Cheng why he suddenly appeared. Although he didn't think about it in detail, he vaguely felt that maybe he came to save him, so when he heard San Lang's call just now, he was secretly happy. But when Hua Cheng let go of him, Xie Lian suddenly realized: Why did he feel that Hua Cheng came to save him? Not to mention whether Hua Cheng would pay such close attention to his movements, he had just burned down Ji Le Fang and escaped from the ghost market not long ago. Isn't it more likely that he came to ask him for punishment and accountability, and to collect debts and settle accounts?

It is true that the geomancer went undercover in the ghost world and was caught by Huacheng and interrogated, but it was the person who went undercover in someone else's place who was at fault. He sneaked into the ghost market, dug deep in the Ji Le Fang to look for people, and set a fire. Although most of Ji Le Fang was burned down because Shi Qingxuan brought the wind and added fuel to the fire, he was the one who started the first fire in the armory, otherwise others might not have thought of setting a fire, so he should bear the main responsibility anyway.

The two of them walked one after the other. The more Xie Lian thought about it, the more sorry he felt. The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He couldn’t help but say, “…Sanlang, I’m sorry.”

Hua Cheng suddenly paused and asked, "Why do you want to say sorry?"

Xie Lian also paused, and said, “I went to the ghost market to investigate the disappearance of the geomancer, and I didn’t tell you the truth before. You treated me so kindly, but I burned down your Paradise. I feel really bad about it.”

Hua Cheng didn’t say anything. Xie Lian also knew that his words “I’m so sorry” really didn’t carry much weight, and he felt even more ashamed. He coughed lightly and said, “But I think I’ll be demoted soon. After I’m demoted, I’ll definitely find a way to make amends. Let’s see how…”

Hua Cheng asked, "Why do you want to apologize to me?"

His tone was a little stiff, as if he couldn't bear to listen any longer. He turned around abruptly and said, "Have you forgotten that I injured your arm with my knife? I was the one who hurt you, not you who hurt me. Why are you apologizing to me?"

Xie Lian didn’t feel any pain in his right hand at all, and now he had almost completely forgotten that his hand had been injured. After a moment of hesitation, he finally remembered, “You mean your right hand? My right hand is fine, it will heal soon. And it was me who went up to meet the attack that caused this, so it’s not your fault, right?”

Hua Cheng stared at him, the light in his left eye unusually bright. And Xie Lian suddenly realized that he seemed to be trembling.

After a while, he discovered that it was not Hua Cheng who was shaking, but the scimitar Erming on Hua Cheng's waist that was shaking.

The silver scimitar hanging above the red robe was shaking. So was the eye outlined by the silver line. If it was on a child's face, then the child would definitely be crying loudly at this moment.
