Besides Long Aotian, another mysterious figure also escaped Shrek Academy.
A black figure flashed across the horizon and landed straight into a forest without making a sound.
Huo Yuhao carefully placed Vina against a large tree, then stood up and looked behind him.
Not far away, several black figures leaped and ran through the forest, heading towards the direction where Huo Yuhao and the other person were.
With a few swishing sounds, several dark figures surrounded Huo Yuhao.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire forest became extremely tense.
Huo Yuhao tapped his finger on his longsword, and the remaining flames on the blade were shaken off like liquid onto the ground.
The black longsword immediately turned into liquid and merged into his body.
At that very moment, the several dark figures surrounding him immediately bowed and knelt on one knee, respectfully saying in unison, "Lord Shadow."
Huo Yuhao hummed in agreement and turned to look at Vina behind him.
Just now, on Sea God Island, when Zhang Lexuan unleashed her skill, Vina was stunned by that aura.
Even the aura of its Body Martial Soul was directly locked onto by Zhang Lexuan.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't appeared in time to block the fatal blow for her, Vina probably wouldn't be here today.
"Next, you will secretly escort her back to the Heavenly Soul Empire. It's time."
After speaking, Huo Yuhao glanced at the unconscious Vina again, thinking to himself, "I hope she won't disappoint me..."
The instant Huo Yuhao disappeared, these members also vanished without a trace.
At the same time, Vina slowly opened her eyes, as if she saw that the dark figure in front of her was Huo Yuhao.
She closed her eyes again and again in a daze, and finally woke up.
"Here it is?..."
Vina finally regained consciousness. The soreness in her body made her unable to get up, and she could only look around.
Apart from the quiet trees, there were only low shrubs.
"I wasn't at Shrek... how did I end up here?"
Vina kept recalling the memories in her mind, but in the end, all she could think of was the Full Moon that blotted out the sky, and then she lost consciousness.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she rested for a while and, after confirming that there was no danger, sat down to meditate and recover.
"Call!"
A short while later, Vina exhaled a breath of white, turbid air, and with a gurgling sound, she finally recovered from her weakened state.
Although she didn't know who had brought her here, the image of Huo Yuhao involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Vina shook her head, suppressing this unrealistic idea.
Even though Huo Yuhao's ability to Ice Seal a hundred-meter-wide lake surface was something she had never seen before, it was clearly impossible for him to rescue her in a battle of that magnitude.
unless...
Vina suddenly realized it must be that strange man from the Shadow Garden.
Only a mysterious and powerful individual could possibly accomplish this.
Having confirmed these things, Vina then began to consider her own situation.
She had some insights during her meditation.
I was simply misled by Long Aotian's words.
Surprisingly, instead of thinking of returning to the Heavenly Soul Empire first, they went to Sea God Island.
"I wonder how Father is?" Vina looked around, searching for reliable landmarks to confirm her direction. "I need to return home as soon as possible. Shrek will definitely connect this matter with the Heavenly Soul Empire. I must go back and get to the bottom of this."
"Only in this way can I return to Shrek and those happy days again."
After fully understanding what she needed to do, Vina knew that things wouldn't be easy to resolve.
The Body Sect was the instigator of this matter and also the biggest obstacle.
Therefore, she planned to return to her country quietly, and then make further plans after meeting her father, the emperor.
Before leaving, Vina bowed respectfully towards the distant forest and said, "Thank you, senior. I have no way to repay Vina, Vina I will always remember your guidance."
After saying this, Vina bowed forward before walking away.
At this moment, she could not afford to delay in the slightest. She feared that if Long Aotian returned to the Heavenly Soul Empire before her, it would be questionable whether she could even infiltrate the palace.
The sun shone down, its rays falling on the girl's shoulders, which seemed especially heavy at that moment.
The shadows were stretched long, carrying an indescribable loneliness and desolation, as if suggesting that at this moment, behind her, there was nothing but darkness and emptiness.
At the Shrek Academy, the traces of the recent battle are being cleaned up.
Xiao Xiao and the others frantically searched for Huo Yuhao and Vina.
They were gathered in a safe zone by their teacher during the attack by the Body Sect, and are only now emerging from there.
" Shrek is getting more and more chaotic. These people simply don't respect the mainland academies at all," Wang Dong'er said through gritted teeth.
They were clearly furious about the attack on Shrek.
Xiao Xiao wasn't in the mood to discuss these things. Instead, she said anxiously, "Let's not talk about this. Yuhao always disappears whenever there's danger. I wonder if he and Vina are alright."
"Come quick, Yuhao's over here."
Wu Feng and Ning Tian waved to the two of them from a distance, and Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er immediately went to find them.
Soon, they saw Huo Yuhao standing by the lake.
Xiao Xiao immediately rushed over, and after confirming that he was alright, she asked, " Yuhao, where's Vina?"
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look into the distance and slowly said, "At this time, Vina is probably already... on her way..."
"Huh? They've set off? What does that mean? Vina wouldn't be..." Wu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ning Tian gently tapped her head, speechless, and said, "What are you thinking? How could that be?"
What happened?
The four of them turned to look at Huo Yuhao and asked.
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then said, "This attack was launched by people from the Body Sect, Vina also possesses Body Martial Soul..."
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but ask, "So, Vina is one of the culprits who attacked Shrek Academy!?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Yes and no. She's probably already on her way to the Heavenly Soul Empire, probably for this matter too."
"There must be some unavoidable factors involved, but it seems that the relationship between Shrek, the Body Sect, and the Heavenly Soul Empire has escalated to a point of near-conflict."
Ning Tian pondered for a moment, then looked at the empty carriage still parked not far away and said, "So, these Body Sect entered as a wedding procession from the Heavenly Soul Empire, so the connection between them must be very close, which is normal."
"On the contrary, Vina seems unaware of the situation; she's the middleman caught in the middle, sigh..."
Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.
Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the carriage, her eyes filled with melancholy. There was no hatred in her eyes, only worry for her friend.
She always believed that Vina wasn't that kind of person, and that her feelings for her friends were absolutely genuine.
