Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

After Zhou Xiaobai went missing, Jiang Ziya performed some divination and came up with a direction, which Nezha then chased after.

He didn't linger at the granary and returned to his main tent.

Not long after he sat down, Jiang Ziya sensed something unusual about the Investiture of the Gods.

Since obtaining the Investiture of the Gods, it has remained almost completely silent, only reacting when someone dies during a great calamity.

"Is Ao Ding dead?" he wondered to himself.

It's no wonder he thought that way. With Zhou Xiaobai's disappearance and the strange events following the Investiture of the Gods, it wasn't surprising that he died after leaving Xiqi City, given his meager cultivation.

Jiang Ziya opened the Investiture of the Gods and saw that there was indeed an extra figure in it.

"Xin Huan is dead?" he asked in disbelief.

He was deeply impressed by Xin Huan after several encounters with Grand Tutor Wen.

Xin Huan possesses the ability to fly and is extremely powerful in combat. He is one of the few masters who can fight against figures like Yang Jian and Huang Tianhua.

Thinking about the attack on the granary, and how the enemy arrived by air, he couldn't help but suspect that Xin Huan's death was related to Zhou Xiaobai.

"Where are Xin Huan's wings?" He suddenly made a new discovery: the pair of wings on Xin Huan's back were missing.

In the original history, Xin Huan was first bitten on the leg by the Howling Celestial Dog, and then killed by Lei Zhenzi with a single blow.

Lei Zhenzi's blow covered Xin Huan's entire body, and the spiritual energy within the wings on her back was also annihilated at the same time.

But this time, Xin Huan's death was completely different. The attack of the "Heaven-Shaking Arrow" was concentrated, killing only Xin Huan herself without affecting the spiritual energy in the wings behind her.

However, Zhou Xiaobai took away her wings, so Xin Huan lost her wings after her death.

Jiang Ziya couldn't sit still any longer. Just then, a soldier came to announce that Ao Ding had returned.

He was about to send someone to deliver the message, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the granary himself.

As soon as Zhou Xiaobai returned to the grain depot, he saw Nezha.

"Xiao Bai, are you alright?" Nezha pulled Zhou Xiao Bai in front of him and looked him up and down. He was relieved to find that Zhou Xiao Bai was not injured.

Nezha chased after him for a while but found nothing. Thinking that Zhou Xiaobai might have returned on his own, he realized that blindly searching was not a good idea, so he returned to the granary to wait.

Jiang Ziya's divination miscalculated the flying abilities of Mo Qilin and Xin Huan. Zhou Xiaobai changed directions multiple times while fleeing, but he only calculated one direction. How could Nezha find him?

"I'm perfectly fine!" Zhou Xiaobai laughed and jumped up and down to prove that she was alright.

"Was it Grand Tutor Wen who found out about the Ink Kirin and sent someone to take revenge?" Nezha had already guessed the truth.

"I guess so!" Zhou Xiaobai nodded helplessly.

"After this, it will be difficult for Grand Tutor Wen to send people to launch a sneak attack again!" Nezha comforted him.

If this happened once, Jiang Ziya would definitely send more people to monitor the sky.

However, Zhou Xiaobai knew that if Xin Huan had not died, no matter how much Jiang Ziya monitored her, he would not have been able to stop Xin Huan's ability to fly with wings.

"I'll have someone go find my master in the next couple of days and get the alchemy method from him. From now on, you should stay in your room and practice alchemy as much as possible!" Nezha said again, still worried.

Zhou Xiaobai was moved and was about to tell him about Xin Huan's death when he heard a jumble of footsteps.

He turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Ziya leading his men over.

"Greetings, Marshal!" Zhou Xiaobai stepped forward and greeted him.

Jiang Ziya reached out to help, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Xiaobai, filled with surprise.

He guessed that Xin Huan's death was related to Zhou Xiaobai, but seeing that Zhou Xiaobai had no karma at all, he couldn't help but doubt his judgment.

"Tell me what happened. The city's defenses have such a huge loophole. We must strengthen the rectification in the future!" Jiang Ziya said in a deep voice.

Zhou Xiaobai recounted the attack by Xin Huan, but omitted the details about Xiao Bu. He only mentioned that after discovering the attack, he used the Heavenly Horse to escape, found a grove of trees outside the city to shake off his pursuers, and then returned.

"Xin Huan, who attacked you, has been listed on the Investiture of the Gods. You no longer need to worry about being attacked again!" Jiang Ziya told Zhou Xiaobai about Xin Huan's death to put his mind at ease.

At this point, he no longer believed that Zhou Xiaobai had killed Xin Huan, because Zhou Xiaobai's apparent lack of karmic burden was too deceptive.

Killing inevitably creates karma; this is the cause and effect of this world.

Even saints cannot avoid the accumulation of karma. Of course, saints have their own methods to clear away the karma on their bodies, but karma is easy to clear, but cause and effect are difficult to eliminate. It can still be seen in the physical body that one has killed living beings.

"Then I'm relieved!" Zhou Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Nezha rolled his eyes at Zhou Xiaobai. Since Xin Huan was dead, it must have been Zhou Xiaobai's doing.

He was one of the very few people who knew Zhou Xiaobai's methods. Although he didn't know much, the methods Zhou Xiaobai had shown were enough for him to believe that Zhou Xiaobai was not weak.

Xiao Bu, who was by Zhou Xiaobai's side, even made Nezha feel threatened. Yang Jian wanted to trade with him many times, which shows how powerful Xiao Bu was.

In addition, there is the speed of the Black Kirin. Grand Tutor Wen relied on the Black Kirin to escape danger many times.

In addition, Zhou Xiaobai has many magical treasures. Zhou Xiaobai's only weakness is his cultivation level, but he also cultivates both magic and body, which can be considered as making up for his low cultivation level.

Jiang Ziya was unaware of all this. Seeing that Xin Huan's death had nothing to do with Zhou Xiaobai, he left.

As I left, I was still thinking, no wonder Xin Huan would prioritize killing Zhou Xiaobai. Zhou Xiaobai was the weakest general in Xiqi, so he was naturally the first target.

"Good heavens, you even killed Xin Huan!" Seeing Jiang Ziya leave, Nezha couldn't help but pat Zhou Xiaobai and say.

He had fought Xin Huan before and admitted that even he would have a hard time killing Xin Huan. He never expected that Zhou Xiaobai would actually kill Xin Huan.

Especially considering that the time between Zhou Xiaobai escaping the granary and returning to the city was not long, and the battle was resolved in that time, it is evident that Zhou Xiaobai's methods are extraordinary.

"It was Xiao Bu who did the job. I was almost beaten to death by Xin Huan, and I'm still injured!" Zhou Xiaobai explained with a wry smile.

"I've never seen many spirit beasts stronger than myself. You must work hard to cultivate!" Nezha said with a mixture of envy and teasing.

He was already thinking that if he hadn't broken the beast-taming talisman with Zhou Xiaobai, then Zhou Xiaobai's spirit beast would also be his spirit beast, and he would be able to command Xiao Bu.

If there are any powerful enemies, Xiao Bu can go and kill them.

Of course, that was just his thought. No matter what the situation, the beast-taming talisman was only a temporary measure. At that time, Zhou Xiaobai was still a little demon. Without the beast-taming talisman of the Chan Sect, any cultivator could kill him.

"It's a pity that Xiao Bu is with you!" He glanced at Xiao Bu again and said.

Zhou Xiaobai was too timid, and Xiao Bu was also unable to fight with all his might.

"I'm afraid of dying! Who knows how many people will die in this great calamity!" Zhou Xiaobai said helplessly.
