Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 215 The Time Has Come
In Wuhun City, in a courtyard of the Wuhun Hall headquarters.

Paimon kept fiddling with and shaking Kong's body, while Qian Daoliu and others sat upright beside him, their eyes wandering, and some were hesitant to look.

"Traveler, what's wrong with you? I can't wake you up no matter how hard I try!"

Paimon seemed to be tired. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, then crossed his arms angrily.

After a long silence, she floated to Kong's side with some worry. Listening to Kong's extremely gentle and steady breathing, her frown finally relaxed a little.

"Damn it! I've decided, I'm going to give you an ugly nickname!"

Paimon put her hands on her hips, and although she didn't know if Sora could hear her, she still angrily talked to herself.

"Since you can sleep so much, I'll just call you the Sleepy Traveler! Hehe~"

"Sleepy Traveler... Paimon, your nicknames are as unpleasant as ever~"

A familiar voice was heard, and everyone sitting around the table cast their eyes towards the sky.

He stood up and stretched lazily, pinching Paimon's cheek.

"Change your nickname, I don't like this one~"

"Hmph! Stupid sleepy traveler, what happened to you just now? Why did you fall asleep so quickly?"

"Forehead……"

The corner of Kong's mouth twitched. How did you know about the widely circulated characteristics of my other dimension?
Despite his complaints, Kong walked aside and took out the Chen Ge pot, with the mouth of the pot filled with rosy light.

Then, one after another, balls of light gradually flew out from the mouth of the pot, fell to the ground and turned into familiar figures.

"Wow! Keke, Zhuqing, the old man, and Yanyan..."

Looking at the familiar people, Paimon called out their names in shock.

"Lord Paimon, and I..."

The weak sound of Fire Meow Meow was heard under the feet of several people.

If he hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed him.

"Hey? Fire Meowth... No! How did you end up in the Traveler's Dust Song Pot?"

"What's going on...Ahhhhh! Xiao!"

Before Huo Miaomiao could explain, a green light flew out from Chen Ge's pot.

After the figure appeared, Paimon's puzzled voice turned directly into a scream that echoed in the courtyard.

"……elf?"

Yu Keke and the others present had seen him before, even Dugu Bo and Bibi Dong had an impression of him. Not long ago, they had even sent Jue Gui Douluo to hunt him down.
However, this was also the first time they had seen the young man who appeared later. He had this aura of being detached and not belonging here that was too strong.

The words that Paimeng had just said to them were still ringing in their ears. Could this young man whom she called Xiao be the guardian Yaksha who was rumored to have the name of an immortal and was in charge of killing?

Questions kept popping up in the minds of several people, mainly because Xiao's appearance was too inconsistent with the rumors that Paimon had said.

Isn't the guardian Yaksha supposed to be a terrifying, three-headed, six-armed killer? Why is he a weak-looking young man?
"Paimon."

Xiao nodded towards Paimeng as a greeting.

Douluo Continent is a foreign land to him.

It is natural to be happy when you meet good friends in a foreign country.

"Wow! Xiao, it's really you!"

Paimon flew to Xiao's side and kept looking at him. "I heard your voice just now. I thought I missed you too much and heard it wrong!"

"it's me."

Xiao doesn't talk much, but he can answer every question Paimon asks.

"Hehe~ That's great! I just told them about you~ Oh, these are all friends I met here~"

Paimeng enthusiastically introduced everyone to Xiao. Yu Keke and others had already come into contact with Xiao, so he was not unfamiliar with him.

This was also the first time he met Qian Renxue and others, but because of his personality, he did not show any enthusiasm.

He nodded slightly to the outstretched hand, and a timid look involuntarily appeared on his face.

Due to his temperament, duties, and physical condition, he would have vanished in a flash to monitor such a large group of people in the past. "Sir, I am Qian Daoliu, the High Priest of the Spirit Hall. I have heard of the Great Sage Subduing Demons from Paimeng long ago. I have long admired him."

As the person with the highest authority in the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu naturally wanted to make friends with this immortal.

"elf."

Paimon had already introduced it, but in order not to offend her, Xiao still spoke.

However, he only mentioned his name and did not tell his origin.

"Sir Xiao, although our Spirit Hall is not as big as your kingdom, it is still very safe. You don't need to be so nervous."

Qian Daoliu looked at the gray substance that was constantly emanating from Xiao's body. Just by slightly feeling the overflowing aura of karma, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

I thought, is this the usual style of the guardian Yaksha who is in charge of killing?
Even if there is no danger around, we must remain in a very vigilant defensive state?
Xiao obviously didn't understand what Qian Daoliu meant. He turned his head slightly to look at Kong.

"Qian Gongfeng, are you referring to the cold aura emanating from Xiao? I think you must have misunderstood."

Seeing this, Kong smiled bitterly and continued:
"The aura emanating from Xiao is the culmination of thousands of years of slaughter, the resentment and resentment of the demon gods he has slaughtered. It's not something he can easily control."

"Karma……"

Bibi Dong murmured.

"Well, Xiao has been fighting for years to protect Liyue, so naturally he's been tainted with these karmas. These karmas burn not only his body but also his heart..."

Kong looked at Xiao's expressionless face and said, "The price of killing is that he has to endure the pain of the burning of this karmic fire every moment. If others get close to him, they will also suffer the infection of his karma..."

"what……"

As soon as Kong said this, everyone, including Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Keke and others, widened their eyes.

They looked at the calm and composed Xiao. From the dark karma that kept emanating from him, it was not difficult to judge that he was also suffering from the burning erosion of karma at this moment.
"Big Brother, I'm sorry for what happened before. It turns out you didn't let me get close to you because you wanted to protect me..."

Yu Keke suddenly understood why Xiao had not approached her before, and even asked her to put aside some food.
It turns out that all of this was done to avoid being contaminated by his karma, not because he hated himself...

"Karma is eating away at his body and heart. He must be in great pain..."

Qian Renxue murmured softly.

"I suffer this pain every moment..."

Bibi Dong looked at the stern young man in front of her, feeling indescribable discomfort in her heart.

Everything has a price. In order to protect the people, he is willing to endure this kind of pain continuously. He truly deserves the title of Guardian of Liyue!

And according to Paimon, there are more than one like him. I really don’t know how beautiful the country of Liyue is. A country that can make them protect each other at the cost of their lives, I really want to go and see it...

"Nothing, I'm used to it."

Xiao met everyone's gaze and shook his head slightly.

Then he raised his arm as if sensing something, and his illusory body gradually turned into starlight and dissipated along with his karma.

"The time has come..."

He muttered, turning to look at Sora and Paimon.

"This body is about to dissipate, Traveler, Paimon, take care."

"Eh? Xiao, are you leaving?"

Paimon asked anxiously. Xiao had finally come here, and she was planning to take him to try the delicious food here, but he was about to leave.

"Well, we'll see you later..."

Xiao and Kong looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then their bodies turned into starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth, as if they had never been there.

"Hey! Wait a minute..."

Paimon stretched out his hand but found nothing, his eyes full of reluctance.

"By the way, Your Holiness the Pope..."

Xiao had already left. Kong casually drew a simple route map on the stone table and looked at Bibi Dong.
"The Haotian Sect has been eliminated by my friend, but its foundation should still be there. Remember to send someone to take over."
