Chapter 339: This Chessboard Is Good! (8000) 1

When Xu Bai first stepped in, he realized that something was wrong.
There were twelve corpses on the ground. They were the twelve sword formations from before.
His death was extremely terrifying. His entire body was covered in dense wounds, and not a single part was intact.
If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably have nightmares at night.
Other than the Twelve Swords Formation, everyone else was more or less injured.
There was a long wound on Song De’s right arm that extended from his shoulder to his wrist, and blood was constantly flowing out of it.
“What’s going on?” Xu Bai asked with a frown as he stepped into the government office.
Hearing Xu Bai’s voice, everyone reacted and looked in the direction of Xu Bai’s voice.
“Lord Xu, an expert has come here specifically to silence us.”Song De smiled bitterly.
Expert?
Xu Bai muttered to himself, “Even you lost?””
There were so many people here, and Song De, Zhou Manor Ling, and Pavilion Master Ji were also experts among them. How could they be defeated so easily?
If there really was such an expert, it wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t use it to deal with Xu Bai and instead used it to silence him.
“The opponent is using an extremely profound hidden weapon.”The Zhou Manor Lord was also injured. He explained, “Hidden weapons have a wide variety of categories.”
At this point, the Zhou Manor Token took out a round bead and handed it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and examined it carefully.
Iron Pearl.
They are just ordinary iron beads.
And this iron bead was also the weapon to kill the Twelve Swords Formation.
“He killed the Twelve Sword Formation with just the iron bead, and he even did it under your protection. This hidden weapon technique is indeed at the peak.”Xu Bai compared it with his own Wind Snow.
He realized that if he used the copper coin to cast Wind Snow, it would take a lot of effort to kill the Twelve Swords Formation under the encirclement of so many people.
The surrounding situation was that there was not much damage. Clearly, the other party did not fight hard.
Of course, if Xu Bai went all out, he could easily kill the Twelve Swords Formation under the encirclement of the crowd. However, this was a different situation.
The other party’s hidden weapon alone was already worth paying attention to.
“At that time, there were many hidden weapons, but most importantly, they were aimed at the Twelve Swords Formation. We were only affected by a portion of the metal beads.”Pavilion Master Ji saw that Xu Bai was deep in thought and added.
Xu Bai nodded and showed a paper crane.
After the paper crane appeared, it immediately used [Seeker].
However, when the paper crane landed on the iron bead, it turned into ashes.
The search had failed. The other party had not left any clues behind.
“This is strange. Such an expert is even stronger than Wang Shu. Why didn’t he come and deal with me?”Xu Bai pondered.
This was what he could not figure out the most.
Sending such an expert just to silence him, what other intentions did he have?
* Cough cough * Lord Xu, I think I should remind you.”Song De heard Xu Bai mumbling to himself and coughed to cover up his embarrassment. “If he were to face us directly, he might not be able to gain any advantage.
Then, he told Xu Bai everything that had happened in detail, and Xu Bai finally understood the reason.
Being able to fight was one thing, but protecting others was another.
Song De and the others were very good at fighting, but when it came to protection, that was not their forte.
It was obvious that the other party was the type who was proficient in assassination. From a distance, he had used hidden weapons to disturb them.
When they reacted, a large number of hidden weapons were aimed at the Twelve Swords Formation. At that time, the Twelve Swords Formation did not have the power to counterattack, which resulted in this situation.
“Lord Xu might have underestimated his own strength. If he really came to assassinate you, he might not be able to get any benefits. “Song De said.
The others nodded silently.
“I see.” “In Lord Song’s opinion, is there someone else behind this?” Xu Bai stroked his chin and asked.”
Song De shook his head, indicating that he couldn’t think of anything.
He didn’t know if there was anyone behind this.
But he knew a little bit about the ‘Nutmanact’.
“Lord Xu, congratulations on redressing your injustice. “Song De raised his hands into fists and cupped them at Xu Bai.
Now that everything was clear, if Song De still didn’t understand the true meaning behind it, then he would have been in vain as the chief of the Heaven Inspectorate.
“Congratulations, Lord Xu.”
“I knew it. How could a righteous person like Lord Xu do such a thing?”
“Now that the person who framed Lord Xu is dead, Lord Xu can rest easy.”
When the surrounding family heads saw this, they also congratulated each other. As for the matter of them joining forces to pressure him previously, it had long been thrown out of the clouds.
In this day and age, they could throw away their pride. They were also the heads of the family. If they didn’t congratulate Xu Bai now, or if they congratulated him too late, Xu Bai would hate them. When they went to the capital, they would be done for.
Xu Bai’s lips curled up slightly in the face of all the flattery around him.
This was how it was these days. When you had nothing, you had to call everyone big brother. When you were already standing higher than others, even if you farted, they would find it fragrant.
“Lord Song, Lord Zhou, I’ll leave the finishing touches to you. And this is Pavilion Master Ji, right?”Xu Bai felt sick of hearing the congratulations around him. He could only say one sentence and walk out..
