Chapter 253 You still want to save Titan and Niu Tian? Are you stupid?
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Within the shattered spatial tunnel, the strange force of order gradually dissipated.
Bai Xuanzi hovered in the void, surrounded by complete silence.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his senses extending towards the distant edge of the golden divine realm, as if awaiting some kind of response.
However, there was no movement there.
Only the turbulent currents in the void whispered; Tang San did not make another move, nor did he send a second deity.
Bai Xuanzi withdrew his gaze and sneered. His eyes were full of disdain. "Is that all the courage you have? Nothing special."
He turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er behind him.
Both of them were extremely weak from the shockwaves of forcibly passing through the black hole.
Wang Dong'er's face was pale, and Huo Yuhao's battle armor was also severely damaged.
Bai Xuanzi raised his right hand, making no extra movements, and simply waved it lightly at the two of them.
A gentle warmth instantly enveloped their entire bodies.
That was pure life energy, unlike soul power; it acted directly on damaged meridians and the body.
"Alright." Bai Xuanzi stopped.
Huo Yuhao felt the tearing pain vanish in an instant.
He stretched his arms; although his battle armor hadn't been repaired, the fatigue in his body had vanished.
Wang Dong'er also opened her eyes, her gaze regaining its clarity.
"Let's go." Bai Xuanzi didn't linger at this dangerous spatial node.
He casually tore open a spatial portal, leading the two away from the edge of the collapsing black hole.
In the city squares of the underworld, discussions erupted like boiling water.
"It really ran out... and it's still lively and energetic."
A Soul Master looked at the sky, his tone filled with complex emotions.
He pointed at Huo Yuhao, who had been healed by Bai Xuanzi in the picture, and then looked at his companion who was missing an arm, his expression filled with indescribable bitterness.
"If only Huo Yuhao from our underworld could receive such treatment."
A heavy sigh erupted from the crowd.
"Yes. Do you remember? In the future vision of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Wang Dong'er from the underworld even sacrificed her life to save Huo Yuhao, dying such a tragic death. But here? Bai Yuhao didn't even have a chance to be seriously injured. Is this luck? Is this the difference?"
This contrast was like thorns, piercing the hearts of every soul master in the dark world.
Looking at Bai Huoyuhao, who not only remained safe and sound under Bai Xuanzi's protection but also greatly increased his strength, their disdain for the Shrek Academy and Xuanzi in the underworld reached an even higher level.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable; comparing goods will only make you want to throw them away.
In the same incident at Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Hei Xuanzi was completely useless. But Bai Xuanzi directly resolved the danger.
Meanwhile, in the shadows of Shrek Academy, Hei Xuanzi stared intently at the scene.
Watching Bai Xuanzi casually heal the two of them, he felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside him.
"Why?" He gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into his palms. "We're both Xuanzi, both guardians of Shrek Academy, so why can that old man wield such power over there, while I can't even protect a decent disciple here?"
He was unwilling to accept it.
He looked at the sky, at Bai Xuanzi's tall figure, and even felt an urge to rush into the sky, pull him down, and mock him mercilessly.
But this impulse ultimately turned into a darker curse: "Go back to Shrek Academy. Let's see if you can still laugh when Tang San really makes his move!"
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, who was in the underworld, was mingling in the crowd.
He listened to the discussion around him, his face turning very pale.
He understood that despair better than anyone else, because he had actually seen those scenes.
Wang Dong'er, who died in the Valley of Love and Destiny, and her cold corpse, were a nightmare that haunted him for the rest of his life.
He lowered his head, gripping the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, trying hard not to tremble.
He was afraid, afraid to see these images, and even more afraid that if he were really in that position, he would have already become God's plaything, just as the people around him said.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Bai Xuanzi, leading the two, had already left that chaotic forbidden zone. They had returned to the border of the continent, and the feeling of solid ground beneath their feet made Wang Dong'er take a deep breath.
Huo Yuhao had fully recovered, but instead of immediately thanking his master as usual, he frowned, seemingly hesitating about something.
He strode to Bai Xuanzi's side, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Master," Huo Yuhao said urgently, "Although we're out, there's one thing I absolutely must ask of you."
Bai Xuanzi turned to the side and looked at his disciple.
"Speak," Bai Xuanzi said calmly.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and recounted in detail the news that had just arrived at the border of the Sun Moon Empire, as well as the kidnapping of Niu Tian and Titan. He didn't hide anything, describing every detail clearly.
In his logic, since his master could even slay Cupid, rescuing Niu Tian and Titan would be a piece of cake. As long as his master was willing to go, no one, no matter who they were, could harm Titan and Niu Tian.
He looked into Bai Xuanzi's eyes, his gaze filled with expectation: "Master, I know this is dangerous, but Uncle Niu Tian and Uncle Titan... they are so important to me. If I don't go to save them, I'm afraid those people will..."
He didn't continue speaking, but just looked at Bai Xuanzi with expectant eyes.
However, to Huo Yuhao's surprise...
After listening to his account, Bai Xuanzi showed no anger, nor did he immediately agree to rescue the person.
At this moment, an extremely strange expression appeared on his usually cold and emotionless face.
It was a mixture of mockery, wariness, and... a strange look as if one were regarding a fool.
He gazed at Huo Yuhao, his eyes gradually shifting from calm to profound.
It's like watching prey that has just jumped into a trap, thinking it has the whole situation under control.
Bai Xuanzi remained silent for a long time; the air between them seemed to freeze for a moment.
He didn't speak, but just stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his gaze filled with a chilling suspicion that made Huo Yuhao feel uneasy.
