Chapter 880: Xu Bai Begins His Performance (2)
A woman’s cry was heard.
Xu Bai followed the voice and saw a woman in disheveled clothes crawling on the street with terrifying wounds all over her body.
However, the woman’s scream didn’t travel too far before she was stopped by a burly man. The burly man grabbed the woman’s ankle and dragged her into a room like a dead dog. Soon, a shrill scream came from the room.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the surrounding stalls.
Everyone in the industry seemed to have not seen it and were still doing their own things. It was as if the scene just now was already commonplace here.
“Yes… Did the depletion of resources reveal many of his true nature?”Xu Bai thought.
Of course, this was only his guess, but it was soon confirmed.
“This woman was once the woman of a Transcendent before her resources were exhausted.”A voice sounded from behind.
Xu Bai turned his head and saw Gao Guan, who was dressed in white and wearing a tall hat.
Gao Guan walked over slowly and continued,” Later on, the resources were exhausted. That Transcendent died on the spot because of fighting for resources. This woman lost her source of resources and found a way in the Anti-Dharma Pavilion.”
“She first rented herself out, but later realized that this way, the speed of obtaining resources was not fast, so she sold herself out. The person who beat and scolded her just now bought her.”
“Why are you fleeing?” Xu Bai frowned.
After listening to Gao Guan’s explanation, Xu Bai understood. Wasn’t this a business in disguise? The only difference was that this woman treated herself as a commodity and sold herself.
“In this place, never believe what you see.”Gao Guan laughed.” This woman isn’t easy to deal with. She wanted to kill the man in bed and take his resources. But she never expected that the man would buy her back and turn her into a resource.””
“In short, it’s a very complicated matter. You’re new here. You only need to know that no one in the Power-Destroying Pavilion deserves your sympathy, because they can enter because they have blood debts on their hands.”
“Are you the same?” Xu Bai smiled.”
Gao Guan shrugged.” Something like that. Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere.””
After saying that, Gao Guan led the way.
Xu Bai didn’t ask why. He just followed behind them. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at a teahouse-like place.
“Two people and a pot of good tea.” Gao Guan said,” I don’t have any more resources today. I’ve spent all of them. Why don’t I give them to you after I distribute them this month?””
The boss was a chubby middle-aged man. After hearing Gao Guan’s words, he nodded and agreed.
Gao Guan turned around, waved at Xu Bai, and found a seat.
Xu Bai didn’t have a tacit understanding either. He sat opposite Gao Guan. Soon, a waiter brought a teacup and teapot and placed them on the table.
It looked very shabby, but Xu Bai had heard that even drinking tea here required resources.
“High-grade medicinal herbs. The boss here is a tea master, which is considered a supporting profession. This thing is also considered a resource, so we need to use resources to exchange for it.”
“The Power-Destroying Pavilion allows these businesses to be here. After all, the resources they obtain may not be suitable for themselves.”
As he spoke, Gao Guan poured a cup of tea for Xu Bai and another cup for himself before carefully taking a sip.
Xu Bai also took a sip. As the tea entered his stomach, he felt the True Core Strength in his body circulate slightly faster.
Tea of this quality was plentiful in the human world, but it had become scarce here. It could be seen how exhausted the resources were.
“Let’s get down to business!” After Xu Bai finished the cup of tea, he put down the teacup and looked at Gao Guan with interest. He said calmly,”There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You even have to treat me to tea on credit here. It might not be as simple as just drinking tea.”
Gao Guan nodded and didn’t hide anything. He said bluntly,”I just want to ask you for some corpse control techniques.”
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
How did this guy know that he knew how to control corpses?
This time was completely different from the previous time. Logically speaking, the two of them had not even met.
” It’s strange, isn’t it?” ” Here, nothing about you can escape the eyes of the Power-Destroying Pavilion,” Gao Guan said.” For example, your strength, the fact that you changed your appearance, and the fact that you killed so many people.”
Xu Bai was slightly shocked.
What Gao Guan said just now revealed everything he had done.
However, he had done it very secretly. Moreover, when his divine soul swept over, he did not sense that there were outsiders.
Why was he discovered?
Even the people he killed in the end did not leave any traces behind.
Seeing that Xu Bai did not answer, Gao Guan came to the window and pointed at the building that Xu Bai had just gone to.”There’s a saint level treasure there, and it’s a saint level treasure that uses the soul as its core. It can sense everything around it, and it’s in the hands of the city lord.”
“So when you killed those people and entered this city, you attracted the attention of the city lord. But for some reason, the city lord didn’t care about these things.”
Xu Bai’s brows furrowed more and more tightly when he heard that.””How do you know?”
