Chapter 1921: Departure
Evil Eyes is still alive!
This was no doubt a piece of good news!
Without hesitating, Xiao Zheng quickly placed both hands on Evil Eyes’ chest, then activated his X-ray vision, located the injured area, and started healing him. In just a few seconds, Evil Eyes regained his breathing.
Another three minutes or so passed, and Evil Eyes opened his eyes in a daze.
Seeing him wake up, Xiao Zheng finally let out a breath of relief.
Only then did he realize that his abilities seemed to have strengthened again. In the past, whenever he healed others, he’d feel weak for a long time. But now he was still full of energy, not feeling any weakness at all.
"W-where am I?"
Evil Eyes said faintly.
His consciousness was obviously still a bit muddled; he hadn’t figured out what was going on.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth and said, "You’re at the Demon God Sect’s main altar. By the way, weren’t you being a bit too reckless? Before we set out I already told you to wait for follow-up and not to act on your own."
"Good thing I got here in time, otherwise your little life would really be gone."
After saying that, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
Hearing this familiar voice, Evil Eyes finally came completely back to his senses. Then, as if he’d been frightened, he did a sudden kip-up off the ground: "Mr. Xiao? Y-you, why are you here?"
Great!
So everything he’d just said was for nothing!
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes, suddenly not in the mood to bother with him.
After Evil Eyes scratched his head awkwardly, his gaze swept around. The devastation left behind by the battle made him suddenly realize something: "Mr. Xiao, don’t tell me... all this was done by you?"
He pointed at the ruins, asking in disbelief.
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng immediately snapped, "Not me, you did it."
"I did it? That’s not very likely, is it?" Evil Eyes said with a strange look on his face.
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng felt both amused and annoyed: "Of course it’s not likely. Are you still not fully awake? Why do I feel like you’re still all groggy?"
At that, Evil Eyes actually nodded seriously and said, "I really do feel weird right now, like I already died once. It’s like I had a really long dream, like I slept for a whole century."
Xiao Zheng finally sighed helplessly, then told him everything that had happened after he was captured.
After finding out he’d really almost died, even someone as bold as Evil Eyes couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat!
But once he calmed down, he still couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Xiao, so from what you’re saying, hasn’t the Demon God Sect basically been wiped off the face of the earth? Our mission this time... succeeded?"
"Of course it succeeded. The Demon God Sect will no longer exist from now on." Xiao Zheng nodded. "All the experts the Demon God Sect left at the main altar have been killed by me, and the nine Demon God Statues have all been destroyed as well."
"As for the outer forces, Long Qie has already taken people to wipe them out."
"At most in another two days, the Demon God Sect will completely disappear from this world."
After hearing this, Evil Eyes finally let out a breath of relief.
To be honest, he’d been really worried that his screw-up would cause the whole plan to fail.
Xiao Zheng glanced at him, then asked, "By the way, how did the Demon God Sect people discover your cover? With your skills, there’s no reason they should’ve found you."
Hearing this, a bitter smile quickly appeared on Evil Eyes’ face. "It’s all because I was too careless. Actually, on the first day I arrived in the Cloud Border, I’d already roughly figured out the location of the Demon God Sect’s main altar. But I didn’t expect someone to rat me out, which made the Demon God Sect’s top fighters lock onto me."
"The first time, they sent two experts to capture me, but I managed to kill them instead. After I got injured, I planned to temporarily get away and hide somewhere to heal. I didn’t expect that before I could get very far, another group of experts sent by the Demon God Sect found me."
"By then I no longer had the strength to fight. As soon as I ran into them, I got knocked out. When I woke up again, I saw you. As for what happened in between, I don’t remember a thing."
Even though it was over, Xiao Zheng still felt a chill in his heart after hearing the story.
Luckily, the Demon God Sect people recognized Evil Eyes’ identity at the time and wanted to capture him alive to use against Xiao Zheng. If they’d killed him on the spot, by the time Xiao Zheng arrived in the Southern Border, Evil Eyes’ corpse would’ve already gone cold.
"When you’d pinned down the exact location of the Demon God Sect’s main altar, if you’d returned to the branch in time, you wouldn’t have run into all that danger afterward."
"Anyway, take this as a lesson learned."
"From now on, no matter what mission you’re carrying out, you are not allowed to act on your own."
Xiao Zheng sighed as he spoke.
Evil Eyes nodded with a smile and didn’t say anything more.
Seeing that dawn was about to break, Xiao Zheng said, "Since everything here is wrapped up, let’s head back. As for this altar and palace, let them keep this mountain forest company."
"Let’s go, I know the way," Evil Eyes said.
With that, he picked a direction and was about to leave.
But just then, Xiao Zheng suddenly called him back: "Forget it, walking is way too slow. Let me give you a lift."
Give me a lift?
How?
Evil Eyes froze for a second. Before he could react, Xiao Zheng grabbed him by the collar and took him straight into the air, tearing into the void!
Watching the altar and palace rapidly disappear from his field of vision, Evil Eyes couldn’t help blurting out a curse: "Holy shit! Mr. Xiao! Y-you finally broke through to the Supreme Realm?"
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng grinned. "Well? Feels pretty good to fly, doesn’t it?"
As he said this, there was a faintly smug look on his face.
After all, it had always been Hades taking him flying before. Now it was finally his turn to take someone else flying, and he couldn’t help feeling quite pleased with himself.
Evil Eyes’ eyes were full of deep envy as he said, "Flying really does feel great. I wonder if in this lifetime I’ll ever get the chance to break through to the Supreme Realm."
"That day will come. Trust me," Xiao Zheng said. "I’ll definitely take you all to charge at even higher realms!"
Hearing this, Evil Eyes felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
Ten minutes later, borrowing the cover of the last trace of night, the two of them returned to the Sky Net Huacheng branch.
After resting at the branch for half a day.
That afternoon, Xiao Zheng and Evil Eyes boarded a plane and left the Southern Border.
