At that time, the Extreme Life Cult had surrounded the Great Chu State and had almost reached a desperate situation.
However, at the most critical moment, they encountered the help of a mysterious person. This person helped the Extreme Life Sect escape from the predicament and gave the Infinite Dao Scripture to the Extreme Life Sect.
The Extreme Life Sect was already at the end of their rope. They no longer had any hope of leaving Great Chu alive. Therefore, they decided to use the Boundless Dao Scripture to fight to the death.
At that time, the people of the Extreme Life Cult discovered that the power of the Boundless Dao Scripture was enormous. As long as they had this power, they could rise again.
As for why they had buried a living person under the tree. the woman did not know. She was just following orders.
Hence, a series of events happened.
The so-called Boundless Scripture was not obtained by the Extreme Life Cult by chance, but was given to them by a mysterious person.
“I originally wanted to see why there was no reaction from the strangeness here, and then I met you, so I wanted to kill you. “The woman’s limbs were broken as she said in pain.
Xu Bai fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said,”You sold this house to the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency, right?””
The woman nodded.” After the strangeness takes shape, it can form a massacre here. It was the sect’s steward who asked me to do it.’”‘
“You are an abandoned child.” Xu Bai suddenly said.
The woman didn’t answer after she said that. Her eyes were filled with gloom.
Xu Bai could tell from the words just now that there were some things worth pondering. For example, why did he make the Human-faced Ancient Tree in the county town?
If it were him, he would choose to make a diversion.
The true purpose of the Extreme Life Cult was to create a diversion.
The livelier the place, the easier it would be to attract attention if something went wrong, which would cover up the true methods of the Extreme Life Cult.
As for whether their own people would die, the Extreme Life Cult would not care about such things, such as this woman.
After a long time, the woman spoke again.
“You’re right. I’m an abandoned child. The cult wants me to be the sacrifice of this plan. The woman laughed self-deprecatingly and continued, “It’s not just me. There are many more.””
Xu Bai bent down and lifted the woman up.”
This action was very rough, making the woman moan in pain.
“I don’t know. We haven’t been in contact. Also, I’ve searched the county city, but there aren’t any other Human-faced Ancient Trees.”
“I’ve said everything that needs to be said. You should give me a quick death.”
“I, Xu Bai, am a man of my word. I just want to verify whether what you said is true or false. “Xu Bai carried the woman and climbed over the wall.
It was already late at night. No one was passing by on either side of the street. Other than the sound of the night watch, there was no other sound.
In the silent night, this sound was especially terrifying.
Xu Bai brought the woman to a house and stopped. The woman looked at the house and felt uneasy. “This is…The Liu Residence?”
“Is there a problem?” Xu Bai asked with a smile.
“Are you related to the Liu family?” The woman was surprised.
They were from the Extreme Life Sect, so they would definitely get some important information in advance. Therefore, the woman was surprised at the first moment.
“Now is not the time for you to be surprised. Let’s go in and talk.”Xu Bai grabbed the woman by her collar and jumped over the wall.
After entering the backyard, Xu Bai first went to Liu Xu’s room and knocked on her door.
When Liu Xu opened the door, she was surprised to see Xu Bai carrying a pale and injured woman.
“Are you kidnapping a commoner girl?” Liu Xu said.
Of course, this was just a joke. Anyone could tell that the woman in black had an extraordinary identity.
However, in Liu Xu’s eyes, this woman was really too pitiful.
Her limp limbs were obviously broken.
The way Liu Xu looked at Xu Bai changed again.
This man was truly ruthless when he attacked, but this way of dealing with the enemy was really quite appropriate.
“Let’s go to Wu Hua.” Xu Bai didn’t say anything else and left after saying that.
Liu Xu thought for a moment and followed behind Xu Bai.
At this time, even though it was late at night, No Flower was still chanting in his room.
The sound of the wooden fish was very soft. Only when one walked closer could one hear it clearly.
Xu Bai knocked on the door. Not long after, No Flower opened the door.
Just like Liu Xu, No Flower was also shocked. Patrons, come in and we’ll talk.”
He knew very well that things weren’t that simple.
At this moment, the woman, who was covered in injuries, was already ashen.
She had not expected that there would be another expert in the Liu Residence other than Liu Xu.
Xu Bai walked into No Flower’s room. After the two of them came in, he told them what had happened. Then, he added,’
“Do you have a soul-searching method that can determine whether what she said is true or false?”
After hearing Xu Bai’s news, the two of them were shocked. They were still digesting the news, but when they heard Xu Bai’s words, they were stunned.
Soul search?
It wasn’t just Liu Xu and No Flower. Even the woman covered in wounds was shocked. She stared at Xu Bai as if she was looking at a demon.
This man had spent so much effort to bring her here just to use that soul-searching method to determine whether she was real or fake?
Who was the evil path?
The injured woman could not believe it.
No Flower smiled bitterly.” Benefactor, this little monk really doesn’t have the method you mentioned. If there really is a way to search the soul, I reckon that we can only ask for help from others. However, we’re now in Sheng County, so it’s very troublesome.””
Liu Xu also shook her head, indicating that she would not do so either.
“In other words, there really are people who can search souls?” Xu Bai rubbed his chin.”
He only had this thought. After all, he was an old bookworm in his previous life and had seen a lot of things. If he had not eaten pork, how could he have seen pigs run?
He didn’t expect that there was really such a method.
“I think so…” Xu Bai thought.
One day, he would get one. It was a must-have for traveling in the martial arts world.
Liu Xu’s eyes were filled with helplessness.”
She really couldn’t understand. Among the people she knew, this man was considered a dragon among men, but why was his mind always so strange?
Why was he so persistent in soul searching?
Shouldn’t they be looking for their next step?
“What are the conditions for soul searching?”Xu Bai didn’t know what they were thinking at the moment. He was immersed in his own thoughts and asked again.
Although he had killed many people, he did not understand this world.
The memories in his mind were not of much use, so he had to seize the opportunity to understand them.
“Almsgiver Xu, the difference between professions is like the difference between mountains.”Wu Hua said.
“Alright then, let’s get back to the topic. The mysterious person this woman is talking about is probably more powerful than the Extreme Life Sect.”Xu Bai felt regretful that he couldn’t take this opportunity to learn more.
The regret in his tone was obvious to everyone.
“Actually, we don’t need to judge whether she’s telling the truth or not. As long as we know that it’s related to the Extreme Life Cult, then the rest is simple. “Liu Xu selectively ignored Xu Bai’s obsession with soul searching and added.
“You mean… Azure lotus throne?” No Flower wasn’t stupid and quickly reacted..
