Chapter 234 Someone Enters Sainthood, Xu Bai Comes Out of Seclusion (8000)

The sound of dripping water?

Zhao San stood there, feeling extremely cold all over. He didn't know why, even his fingers were stiff.

It should be warm in this season, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth at all.

The bone-chilling cold seemed to come from the inside and gradually spread to the whole body. The sound of dripping water behind him was getting closer and closer.

Zhao San twisted his stiff neck and wanted to turn his head.

This action is usually very simple, but it is extremely difficult at this moment.

He turned his head, only to the position of his shoulders, and his body followed, looking slowly and dully behind him.

Then, the bone-chilling feeling became deeper. Behind him, a figure was gradually approaching.

The sound of dripping water just now came from this figure, and as he looked over, the sound became more obvious.

As the figure gradually approached, Zhao San saw his true appearance in the hazy moonlight.

Zhao San felt trembling all over, his legs couldn't help shaking, and suddenly he lost his strength and sat down on the ground.

"Ghost...Ghost..."

At this moment, Zhao San's face was full of fear. He kicked his legs frantically and tried to stand up, but he had no strength at all.

The slowly approaching figure revealed its true appearance under the moonlight.

This man was wearing the unique clothing of the barbarians, with a strong barbarian style, but his face and exposed skin were bloody.

There were horrible wounds on his body, and each wound was oozing with bright red blood. The dripping sound just now was the sound of blood dripping on the ground.

The eyes were also blinded by the blood, but it could be seen that there was a chill that made people's scalps numb, projected from the eyes.

The strange walking posture was very slow, and the body would shake with every step.

But Zhao San was powerless to resist at this time. Although he had recovered and could even get up from the ground to escape.

But he had no way to do so. The bone-chilling feeling was getting worse at this time, making his limbs stiff and unable to even bend.

"Help! Help!"

The cold feeling made it impossible to shout for help, so he could only repeat it over and over again, as if begging for mercy.

Guiyi's speed was very slow, but every step made Zhao San's heart beat wildly. The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and the sound of blood dripping on the ground became more and more obvious.

Finally, under this extreme despair, Guiyi came to Zhao San's side, slowly bent down, and grabbed Zhao San's shoulders.

Zhao San only felt a pain in his chest, and subconsciously looked down, and saw Guiyi's arm passing through his chest, holding a bloody heart. The heart was still beating, but Zhao San's consciousness was blurring at this time.

Gradually, Zhao San completely lost his life.

Guiyi let go of his hand, letting the body fall from his hand, staggering, and walked towards another location...

...

The next day.

Jiantian Division, Barbarian Branch.

Unlike the capital, where a nine-story building is built, although the building is very grand, it is not as exaggerated as the capital. At this time, Yingyue is dealing with various memorials.

Some of these memorials are detailed information about major forces, some are about the layout of various places of the barbarians, and some are about some important situations.

The Tianshi has a lot to do, especially now that some positions in the barbarian fiefdoms are not perfect, and the burden on her is even heavier.

But as Chief Master Mu said, Yingyue does have unique abilities in this regard. Even under such heavy work, she still does not lose her sense of proportion.

"After reading these memorials, those vacant positions will be filled in a few days. Next, there are still many things to do."

Yingyue thought as she watched.

Time passed slowly, and when she finished reading the last memorial, she stretched.

"Today's work is almost done."

Yingyue stood up and planned to walk around and move around.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door, hurried in, and said hurriedly: "Sir, something happened!"

Yingyue was stunned, then recovered, returned to her seat and sat down, her tone became serious: "What's the matter, tell me slowly."

Since she took over this position until now, no one has ever said anything happened. This subordinate was very anxious just now, obviously it was a big deal.

The subordinate quickly calmed down: "The people from the government office reported that a body was found. The body seemed to be killed by a weirdo. There was still a weird aura around it, so they reported it to the Jiantian Division and asked us to deal with it."

"What!" Yingyue stood up suddenly, his eyes became solemn: "Have you sent someone over?"

The subordinate nodded: "It was handled immediately. Those responsible for investigation, checking the body, and fighting formed a group. These were all equipped according to the configuration you said."

"It was very efficient. We even killed the weirdo, but this weirdo was a little special."

"They were wearing barbarian clothes. Obviously, during the previous battle, the barbarians died and turned into weirdos."

"After all, so many people died. Even if the probability is very small, some of them will become weird."

Barbarians?

Yingyue frowned and imitated Xu Bai, rubbing her fair chin with her hand.

In fact, if it was just a weird, it would be fine to deal with it. After that, it would be to do our best to comfort the families of the people.

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected.

But the most important thing is that this is actually a weird from the barbarian tribe.

As the subordinate said just now, even if the probability is very small, it will become weird. This sentence is not wrong, but the problem lies here.

She has spread all the personnel of the Tianjian Division this time, including the newly recruited personnel, to various places in the barbarian fiefdom.

And they are distributed in a very strict way. This way, it is impossible not to find the appearance of weird.

Even if the weird killed someone, it would not be discovered until the next day.

"Don't you think it's strange? Why did we know about this matter only when someone found the body the next day after the weird appeared?" Yingyue said.

Before, the Tianjian Division had not implemented the stationing system because of insufficient manpower. Now that there are enough manpower, Yingyue implemented the stationing method and equipped it with a very tight force, so it is impossible not to find it.

The subordinate pondered: "Sir, do you mean that the strange has a way to block our monitoring?"

"Yes." Yingyue nodded and said: "If we don't take the initiative to find it, we won't even find it. It seems that the strange can't do it, because they only have the instinct to kill, but they can't hide their breath."

"The strange can't do it, then there is only one possibility, that is, someone other than the strange helps them hide their breath."

After Yingyue's analysis, the subordinate only felt a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

He is not a stupid person. From this analysis, he can feel that there seems to be a big conspiracy network that is spreading to the entire Great Chu Kingdom.

Now, the whole world belongs to the great motherland, and the only enemy is the barbarians, but the barbarians have been completely destroyed, so who would do such a thing?

It is impossible for the Great Yue Kingdom, which has successfully surrendered.

Since it is not the Great Viet Kingdom, and the barbarians have been completely destroyed, there is only one answer left, that is, the two top masters of the Saint level who escaped from the barbarians.

Yingyue glanced at his subordinates and said, "From now on, every place must be strictly guarded. It can't be just this once. I'll go to the palace."

"Yes!" The subordinate agreed.

Yingyue didn't say anything more, and went out directly and rushed to the palace.

This time, she went at full speed, and the guards of the palace didn't stop her. She soon walked into Chu Ling's room.

Raised her hand and knocked on the door, and Chu Ling's voice came from the room.

"Come in."

Yingyue pushed the door open and went in. After entering, she didn't beat around the bush and told the story again.

Chu Ling also held a memorial about various expenses in her hand. After hearing what Yingyue said, she silently put the memorial aside.

"What are you going to do?"

Recently, Chu Ling was also exhausted. There were so many things to deal with every day. Now such a big thing happened suddenly, and she had a headache.

"First, we must guard tightly and see if we can find the pattern of these events, and use this as a clue to continue investigating." Yingyue said.

In this regard, the Tianjian Division is professional.

What Yingyue said was right. At present, there is no clue at all.

Only when these strange things appear a few more times, it is possible to find something useful from them.

"Then do as you say." Chu Ling nodded, which was considered to be giving Yingyue power.

She also thought about it just now. If this matter is really related to the two saint masters, their purpose is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Yingyue did not leave, but still stood there, as if she was struggling and wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Chu Ling frowned: "Is it because of my husband's matter?"

"Yes." Yingyue said: "I want to see Xu Bai, and I still have to tell him these things. After all, the two saint masters of the barbarian tribe hate him the most. I am worried that this matter will be related to him?"

"Then you can go and find him directly." Chu Ling said.

Yingyue smiled and said, "Isn't it because I'm worried that King Ling is overthinking?"

Chu Ling laughed and teased, "Whether I'm overthinking or not, only you know. Whether I'm overthinking or you're just like this, only you know in your heart."

Yingyue didn't answer and stood there without saying a word.

"Okay, go quickly." Chu Ling said.

Yingyue turned around and left the room.

After leaving the room, she also didn't stop and walked towards the palace treasury.

Not long after, she arrived at the door of the treasury, but before she stepped in, she saw several people standing there.

Wuhua, who was wearing black clothes and had black hair, was chatting enthusiastically with a scholar at this time.

The two seemed to get along very well. They kept talking.

But this is not the most important thing, but the palace treasury in front of them. In addition to these two people, the female master and Liu Qingfeng are also outside.

The surroundings of the palace treasury are now covered by gold and gray. No one can see what is happening inside, and no one can hear it.

"What happened again?"

Yingyue was confused, but still walked over.

The people present were all masters, so they could naturally hear that Yingyue had arrived. Before she could speak, the young man dressed as a scholar pointed to the palace treasury.

"Xu Bai and my junior sister are discussing something secret inside."

Secret?

Yingyue also knew this young man, Yun Zihai from Yunlai Mansion.

Not long ago, he resigned from the position of prince in the capital, and ran to the barbarian fiefdom, and was appointed as the head of the civil service.

For this situation, no one said that Yun Zihai took the back door. After all, Yun Zihai himself is an extraordinary master, and a veritable and talented person.

Therefore, even the civil officials are convinced that he can reach this position.

"What are you talking about?" Yingyue asked in confusion: "Aren't the positions of the academy and the Buddhist sect already divided? They should be far away from the palace. By the way, you should leave today, right?"

Not long ago, they had been assigned positions, which was what they needed.

Chu Ling did not put them in the royal city because there has never been such a rule. Whether it is the capital or the barbarian fiefdom, the royal city here can only allow the existence of royal forces.

Families can exist, but big forces like these are absolutely not allowed.

It's not that I don't trust them, but doing so is beneficial to both parties.

Wuhua nodded and said, "It's true that we are leaving today, but Master Liu has something to say to Master Xu, so we will leave after Master Liu finishes speaking."

"It's so mysterious." Yingyue muttered.

This scene gives people a sense of concealment, but Xu Bai has blocked the surroundings, and Yingyue can't get in, so she can only wait.

After about half an hour, the changes in the surrounding sky disappeared.

Liu Xu came out with a veil on her face, her steps brisk.

Seeing this, Yingyue asked suspiciously, "What are you two doing in there?"

"We just talked about something." Liu Xu's eyebrows showed joy, and she said, "He gave me the answer, and I got the answer, it's that simple, let's go, Wuhua, it's time to go back."

Liu Xu didn't explain what happened in there, and she said it vaguely, and the people present couldn't figure it out.

Soon, Liu Xu and Wuhua left.

Yun Zihai also left. According to Yun Zihai, he came here to find Xu Bai to reminisce about the past.

When they were almost talking, Liu Xu and the others came, so he was driven out. With a curious and gossipy heart, he waited here, but he didn't expect to hear anything after waiting for so long.

There was no point in staying here if he didn't hear any gossip, so he might as well leave early.

Liu Qingfeng and the female master went to the palace treasury again, and Yingyue went in with them.

They walked up the stairs and when they reached the top floor, they saw Xu Bai drinking tea calmly.

"What did you say? What did you two say?" Yingyue was still her usual personality. Without saying a word, she came up and prepared to pull Xu Bai's hand.

Xu Bai habitually reached out his hand and held Yingyue's head, preventing her from going any further: "This is a secret that cannot be told."

Yingyue: "..."

The two female masters who were preparing to eavesdrop on the side: "..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You came to me today, I know." Xu Bai said: "I know about the weird things. The whole royal city is under the cover of my soul. Even I didn't feel the weirdness. Someone must have used a secret method."

"I am now a supernatural ninth-grade. If I can't feel it, then the people who gave this weird secret method are higher than me, and they are only the two barbarians who have entered the sainthood."

This morning, he even discovered it before Yingyue, so he knew what it was.

"What do you think?" Yingyue asked when she saw Xu Bai talking about business and not playing around.

All the women Xu Bai knows have this characteristic. They know the occasion very well.

When it's time to play around, they won't be tactful at all, but once it comes to business, they also know the limit.

"How can I see? I can see with my eyes?" Xu Bai's mouth twitched and said, "If you can't hide from my soul, then it's fine. If you can hide from it, I can only rely on you. You are in charge of so many people now, just do as you say."

"That's right." Yingyue nodded, not quite understanding.

That's the fact. If you can't hide from the soul, Xu Bai can fight against countless people. After all, everything is clear under the coverage of his soul.

But if you can hide from his soul, it means there is no way. Xu Bai is only one person, and he can't split himself.

"It seems that I still have to use my own method." Yingyue thought to herself.

This trip, I originally wanted to ask Xu Bai for advice, but now it seems that I still have to act on my own.

In this way, the matter is almost done, and it is time to go back to do my own thing.

However, before leaving, Yingyue suddenly thought of something, turned her head abruptly, and clasped her hands on her chest.

Xu Bai: "?"

This girl, usually looks quite quiet, but when she meets me, she becomes nervous. Now she suddenly does this action, which confuses me.

"What are you doing again?" Xu Bai said speechlessly.

Yingyue lowered her head and stammered: "You just said that your soul covers the entire royal city. Doesn't that mean that if you want to peek, it is very simple..."

Xu Bai had a blank expression on his face and hooked his finger at Yingyue.

Seeing this, Yingyue came over curiously, and then her face hurt.

Xu Bai grabbed Yingyue's face and said, "Even if I am a ninth-rank master, the area of ​​the palace is so large that when I spread my soul, I can only feel an outline, you know?"

"It's like there is an image, but it is covered by a piece of cloth."

"Unless I want to see a place specifically, would I, Xu Bai, be so bored that I would go to see you?"

As he said this, Xu Bai felt sick.

He can use his soul to spy?

Who is he? Prince Xu of the Great Chu State, the first of the young generation, and now he has no rivals among the extraordinary... Oh, no, he can't beat Eunuch Wei.

There is one thing he admits. When he first got the soul, he was really excited. He used it everywhere and saw some things he shouldn't have seen, but now, he is really not so bored.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Yingyue shouted, "I was wrong..."

Xu Bai let go of his hand and said helplessly, "Go and do your thing."

This girl's thinking is sometimes more exaggerated than his. It must be said that Yingyue is really invincible in this regard.

Yingyue muttered, "Hmph, she must have seen it, and now she pretends not to have it. Don't do it, goodbye!"

Seeing Xu Bai extend his hand again, she turned around and ran away with her slender legs.

Soon, the palace treasury returned to silence.

The female master looked at Xu Bai and continued to read the experience of failed sainthood, and asked, "Are you not going to take care of this matter?"

"I can't take care of it." Xu Bai said directly, "The reason just now has been explained. This matter can only be handed over to them."

He was telling the truth. He really couldn't take care of it, and the reason just now was explained very clearly.

With this time, it is better to seize the time to liver the progress bar and become a saint earlier, so as to increase your own strength.

"That's right." The female master nodded and said, "Then let's continue."

The two continued to read the book.

Beside them, Liu Qingfeng was also reading a book. He didn't interrupt because he suddenly felt that he seemed a little redundant here.

The three of them were reading their own books again, just like usual.

At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly put down the book in his hand, came to the window of this floor, and looked in the direction of the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Not only Xu Bai, but also Liu Qingfeng and the female master stopped.

In the direction of the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom, a beam of light rushed straight into the sky, dispersing all the clouds in the sky.

Even from such a distance, it can be seen clearly.

"What's going on?" Xu Bai frowned.

From the treasury of the palace, the pedestrians on the street were still doing their own things, proving that only people in their industry could see this beam of light.

"Someone has become a saint. This is a sign after becoming a saint." Liu Qingfeng said to himself.

There was a hint of bitterness in his words.

Now, there are only three people who can enter the holy position, and now one is missing. Their chances have become smaller.

Because I have been in dementia for a long time, I have only reached the seventh level of transcendence. I have been recovering during this period of time, and I have only recovered to the eighth level of transcendence.

It was originally a good opportunity, but looking at the current situation, it seems that I can't catch up.

Xu Bai paid attention to Liu Qingfeng's expression: "Who is it?"

"It should be Prime Minister Wen." The female master said: "In this world, if there is anyone who has stayed in the ninth level of transcendence the longest, it is only Prime Minister Wen."

"It is indeed him." Xu Bai thought.

In order to enter the holy position, Prime Minister Wen ignored the affairs of the court and took leave to retreat. Now it seems that he may have succeeded.

"We have to hurry up." The female master said helplessly: "Now, it is an opportunity for all transcendent masters, but now the competition has become fierce again."

"Continue." Xu Bai said.

The three returned to their original positions and continued to read books.

Xu Bai originally planned to break through to the Sainthood here, and he had used the book of failed attempts to break through to the Sainthood in his hand to gain a lot of experience.

The next time he obtains the Fusion Technique, he will only have some skills of the ninth level of transcendence, and it is very likely that he will gain the skills to break through to the Sainthood.

By then, even if it was not a mental method, he would have the power to protect himself.

But sometimes, when you want to do something, you just can't do it.

There were footsteps at the stairs.

A man dressed as a eunuch hurried out of the stairs. When he saw Xu Bai, he ran over in a hurry.

"I greet Lord Xu!" The eunuch bowed.

Xu Bai put down the book in his hand and asked, "Who are you and what is your purpose here?"

The eunuch took out a book and presented it respectfully with both hands: "I am a little eunuch under Eunuch Wei. This time I came here to hand over a book to Eunuch Wei."

"Oh?" Xu Bai was slightly interested.

He hadn't seen Eunuch Wei for a long time. Since the last funeral of the King of Chu, he has been staying in the barbarian fiefdom to work on the progress bar.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Wei sent a eunuch to come and give him a book?

Xu Bai took the book in his hand, and when he saw the golden progress bar and cover on it, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Good stuff!

In addition to the golden progress bar, there is a line of small words printed on the cover.

—— Experience of becoming a saint.

This is another experience of failing to become a saint. I don’t know where Eunuch Wei got it from, but it is exactly what he needs.

What he needs most now is to extract the fusion technique from the experience of failing to become a saint.

"Eunuch Wei said that this thing is not easy to come by, and he sold his old face to get it, so I hope Prince Xu will take a good look at it." The eunuch explained.

Xu Bai nodded: "Thank Eunuch Wei for me, and go to the people in the palace to get a reward."

It is not easy for this little eunuch to run errands, and the distance between here and the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom is not close. Unless masters like them are in a hurry, the time will be greatly shortened.

The little eunuch hurriedly thanked and left in a hurry.

After the little eunuch left, Xu Bai felt the gaze of two eyes and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"At this time, why don't you hurry up and read the book? Why are you all looking at me?"

Liu Qingfeng scratched his head awkwardly, didn't say anything, and continued to read.

The female master looked Xu Bai up and down, and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to say it.

"Before Eunuch Wei was injured, he did have a lover, but he died on the battlefield. I haven't heard that he has any children left."

Xu Bai: "?"

He understood.

Eunuch Wei treated him very well, so many people suspected that he was Eunuch Wei's illegitimate son.

What's more outrageous is that Xu Bai dared to kill the emperor of Daiyue for Eunuch Wei, so that this rumor became more and more biased in the world.

Rumors, in themselves, are getting more and more biased.

"My relationship with Eunuch Wei is not what you think." Xu Bai wanted to explain, but felt that this explanation was unnecessary, so he just said it lightly.

"Oh." The female master seemed to have been explained, but from the excitement on her face, she seemed to be more gossipy.

Xu Bai said expressionlessly: "I found that since you merged, you no longer have the same temperament as before."

To be precise, before the female master merged, it can be expressed with an emoticon.

- No worldly desires.

But now, the female master has become more human, and becoming human means having some characteristics that women should have.

Which kind of female master is better?

I can only say that each has its own advantages.

"Fusion?" When the female master heard these two words, she seemed to remember something and quickly picked up the book in her hand to read.

Xu Bai then remembered that when the female master took out the thing that invaded his soul, he seemed to shudder.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai was a little embarrassed and continued to work on the progress bar.

...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a long time had passed.

During this period of time, it was not only the barbarian fiefdom that had strange things.

As long as it is within the scope of the Great Chu State, there are many inexplicable weirdness, which makes people's scalps numb.

These weirdnesses have special shielding techniques, making trouble in various places, and it is not easy to be discovered.

Although the trouble is not big and has not caused too many casualties, it has brought a lot of trouble to the Great Chu State Tianshi and many masters of the trade.

Now, the situation can be controlled, but the senior officials of the Great Chu State have smelled some conspiracy.

Those who can achieve these positions are not fools. When they followed the King of Chu to conquer the world, they have experienced everything. Even if they are mediocre people, they have become very shrewd to live to this day.

They feel that the appearance of these weirdness seems to slow down their speed.

In fact, it has succeeded.

Even the masters of these trades cannot ignore the common people.

When the Great Chu Kingdom was established, the King of Chu said that the people are the foundation. If the people cannot be protected, the so-called masters of the trade will have no meaning to exist.

So everyone is trying to stop the weirdness.

There were many people in the barbarian tribe at the beginning, but now they have become weird, and they are so scattered that it is not a small trouble.

The combination of the Tianjian Division and the entire Jianghu has barely stopped it.

However, people cannot be distracted, so the pace is slowed down.

There is no way, just like a trap, it is placed in front of them, and they must step on it.

If they don’t go, will they let these people die?

Impossible.

At the beginning, the words that the King of Chu said when he ascended to heaven were heard by everyone in the trade.

Even the King of Chu dared to die, how could they not do their part?

Therefore, the rhythm is really messed up.

For such a situation, the Great Chu Kingdom is trying to find a way, but it takes time.

In addition to daily affairs, General Mu, who has already taken office as emperor, is doing his best to break through to the position of saint.

General Mu knew very well that the pace was slowed down, and the speed of the overall strength of the Great Chu Kingdom would also slow down.

He needed to become a saint, and he also needed to leave a backup plan for the whole world.

By that time, if the strength of the world could not resist, he might follow the old path of the Chu Emperor and go to the Weird City alone like the Chu Emperor.

The whole world seemed to become unpredictable.

Due to the large number of weird things, various places have been turbulent.

And Xu Bai, who was in the barbarian fiefdom, had heard about this.

But in this situation, even Xu Bai could not do anything, because there were too many weird things and they were too scattered, and there was even a way to block them.

So, he closed himself off and worked on the progress bar, hoping to find the opportunity to become a saint. After finding it, there might be a way.

…

In the treasury of the palace.

Looking at the progress bar in front of him, light blue smoke appeared in front of Xu Bai.

Light blue smoke, suspended high in the air, turned into a line of text in the blink of an eye...

I thought about it carefully, and originally planned to let Xu Bai solve these weirdnesses.

But then I thought, these are all side plots, if there are too many, it will be cumbersome and too watery.

So in the end, I deleted this side plot and went directly to the main plot.

Next, there should be some secrets about the ruins to be revealed.

I have already thought about what the golden finger is, so I need to write it out slowly.
