Mysterious White-Clothed Man, Female Daoist Abbot's Deal

The ground began to shake, to an extremely violent degree, and the entire area began to tremble.

The scorched earth trembled even more violently from the shaking. At the same time, Xu Bai raised his head, looked at the blood-red sky, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt an extremely terrifying pressure being transmitted, a pressure many times stronger than that he had encountered with Chen Ting before, making his scalp tingle.

"What is that approaching?" Xu Bai wondered to himself.

After thinking for only a moment, he immediately realized what was happening and quickly found a piece of rubble to cover himself.

At this moment, the crimson sky finally stopped trembling. However, the instant the trembling stopped, dozens of figures were slashing through the crimson sky not far away.

Xu Bai raised his head and looked into the distance. In his vision, there were more than a dozen figures approaching, led by a young man dressed in white.

The White-Clothed Man's clothes fluttered in the wind. He was handsome, but his eyes were empty, like those of a fool.

Behind the White-Clothed Man were more than a dozen people dressed in various outfits.

To be precise, it wasn't a person, it was a monster.

These eerie creatures were shrouded in a terrifying aura, an aura that instilled despair and was filled with loathing for the living and a desire to kill.

But unlike the eerie sights outside, these eerie eyes are conscious and act like those of a living person.

This is the Human-Strange Entity Market, Xu Bai understood the reason for it at just one glance.

The dozen or so strange creatures were not following the White-Clothed Man's lead; on the contrary, they were chasing after White-Clothed Man, and their frenzied killing intent was quite evident.

The White-Clothed Man was running away, but as he fled, he would occasionally swing his sword backward in attacks.

This attack is extremely terrifying. It looks like an ordinary punch, but when it is thrown, the sky collapses and the earth cracks. Even the surrounding blood-red light is dispersed by the fist.

Soon, some of the strange creatures were injured, and their attacks came down. The White-Clothed Man did not stop them, nor did he even want to.

The attacks landed on him, leaving his body a bloody mess, but in the blink of an eye, all the wounds were healed.

Terrifying regenerative abilities!

When Xu Bai saw this scene, he felt a sense of connection with his roots, and at that moment, he thought of one of his skills.

—An Undying Body.

The feeling of being connected to the same root was exactly the same as that of the Undying Body. Xu Bai instantly determined the identity of the White-Clothed Man in front of him. He must be the peerless genius of the Great Feng Kingdom.

That peerless genius created a recovery technique that allowed him to recover from any injury, no matter how severe. This was the Undying Body. However, this skill had some drawbacks, and they were huge flaws.

While the indestructible iron can make the body immune to damage, it cannot protect the soul. Once the soul is injured, the Undying Body's abilities cannot repair it.

Therefore, that peerless genius devoted himself to the spiritual realm, trying to perfect his Undying Body, but the result was disappointing.

Not only did he fail to perfect his Undying Body, but his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits also severely damaged his soul, leaving it almost nonexistent. As a result, he became mentally impaired.

Since then, the White-Clothed Man has disappeared; no one knows him or his whereabouts.

When Xu Bai last entered the Demon-Strange Entity Market, he heard the now-dead City Lord Huang say that the White-Clothed Man had once entered the Demon-Strange Entity Market, seemingly searching for something, but was besieged by many city lords and disappeared without a trace.

What he didn't expect was that he would run into them here, and not only that, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that they had started fighting again.

"Just what level of strength is this?" Xu Bai stared at the battle in the sky, secretly amazed.

Behind the White-Clothed Man was an enormous phantom, modeled after the White-Clothed Man, as tall as a mountain.

Every time the White-Clothed Man throws a punch, the enormous demonic shadow follows, and with each earth-shattering blow, the enormous demonic shadow behind him amplifies the power of the punch, making it seem like it could destroy the world.

Of course, that group of strange beings also exhibited all sorts of unusual phenomena.

Whether it's wildfire spreading across the plains, or frost covering thousands of miles, or relentless gales, or a sky filled with blood mist.

When all sorts of strange phenomena intertwine, it gives one a sense of the end of the world.

Xu Bai was well aware that this was a unique Heavenly Change occurred after reaching the Transcendent Realm.

The Heavenly Change are varied, and the Heavenly Change that occur vary depending on each person's circumstances.

The White-Clothed Man's Heavenly Change was that enormous demonic shadow, and the strange occurrences were of all kinds.

Although the White-Clothed Man was just a giant demonic shadow, he was still able to fight the dozen or so strange creatures in front of him to a standstill, and even steadily suppress them.

The reason for the steady suppression is because we don't care about being attacked.

"This is definitely not just the Transcendent Realm; it must be a higher level," Xu Bai thought.

If it were merely at the Transcendent Realm, it would never possess such terrifying power.

The dead Chen Ting was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of these guys.

"After losing the soul, one truly becomes unrestrained. In fact, this is also a way of obtaining a complete Undying Body, but the price is quite high."

The White-Clothed Man was completely immune to attacks because of his extremely strong regenerative abilities; he was even immune to attacks on the soul. In simpler terms...

I have nothing, so what am I afraid of? In the sky, various explosions continued, and the monsters were struggling to hold on, but they still forced their way in.

The White-Clothed Man was like a madman. Every punch and kick he threw could cause the heavens and earth to tremble. He was fearless and had no rules. But at their level, the so-called rules had long been forgotten. Whatever he did was earth-shattering.

Finally, in the midst of the battle, several of the strange creatures could no longer hold on and were caught off guard by the White-Clothed Man. With a punch and a kick, they fell apart.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a sky full of ashes, becoming the blood-red nourishment in the sky.

Behind the White-Clothed Man, the enormous demonic shadow roared to the sky, the sound waves reaching the heavens and the earth. Xu Bai's location was also affected, the buildings trembled violently, and some buildings turned to ashes.

"Not good!" Upon hearing this sound, Xu Bai felt dizzy and his internal organs were trembling slightly.

Knowing that he was also within the affected area, and after feeling the extremely terrifying residual power, he immediately used the Vajra Heart Demon Body and the Grafting Flowers onto Trees.

The thin layer of dark light shattered in an instant, but Xu Bai immediately used the Grafting Flowers onto Trees, pressing his hands on the ground. In the blink of an eye, cracks appeared in the ground and spread outwards, and he felt much better.

"If I were to reach the Transcendent Realm, could I fight them?" Xu Bai wondered, watching the figures constantly battling in the sky.

Since entering this industry, he no longer compares himself to the younger generation, because in his eyes, none of those so-called younger generation are any good.

If you limit yourself to this level just because you are a younger generation, you will never be able to make significant progress.

Even if he has a cheat code, he cannot limit his vision, otherwise he will be digging his own grave.

Xu Bai's thoughts were that his gaze had already shifted to the older generation, and now his target was that older generation.

In the sky, the figures engaged in battle are gradually receding into the distance.

Although the White-Clothed Man was incredibly powerful, even in a head-on clash, the terrifying attack nearly shattered his body.

If it weren't for the fact that Undying Body, he would have died on the spot long ago. So he started to run away again, constantly fighting back during his escape, trying to win in this way.

Although the White-Clothed Man was almost devoid of his soul, it was his fighting instinct that drove him, allowing him to fight with ease.

Xu Bai looked up as the dozen or so figures gradually disappeared into the horizon, but his gaze fell on the place where they were fighting, where something was falling from the sky.

This thing is square, only the size of a fist, and is engraved with various patterns. At first glance, it seems ordinary, but if you look at it for a long time, you will find that these patterns make you dizzy.

Token!

Xu Bai's eyes shone brightly as he watched the token fall from the sky and land on the ground. He knew he had found a way back.

Those dozen or so figures had long since gone far away, and now the place was empty except for him.

Xu Bai looked around, then ran towards the place where the token had fallen as fast as he could. He Movement Break Fourth Cycle Technique and arrived at the place where the token had fallen in less than a breath.

Xu Bai quickly bent down to pick up the token and held it in his hand. Without stopping, he swiftly walked to the round platform.

Go! We have to get out of here right now! We absolutely can't stay here any longer. If we stay any longer, we might lose our lives. Saving our own lives is the most important thing right now.

True Yuan Power circulated rapidly, flowing through the token and into the circular platform beneath his feet. This method, previously used in the Demon-Strange Entity Market, remains effective to this day.

The patterns on the platform are being filled in, and True Yuan Power is being slowly injected. This takes time. Once the patterns are completely filled, he will be able to return through the platform.

At this moment, Xu Bai was still on guard, because the circular platform was so vast that there was nowhere to hide, just like an animal on the grassland exposed to the sky.

As the circular platform beneath his feet was gradually being filled, Xu Bai looked around. Just as the patterns on the platform were about to be completed, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when, unexpectedly, an anomaly occurred.

An extremely terrifying pressure suddenly appeared, and the blood-red color in the sky dimmed.

Xu Bai raised his head and looked in the direction from which the pressure was coming. He saw a figure dressed in white gradually approaching in the sky not far away.

The White-Clothed Man had lifeless eyes and a blank expression, but his gaze was fixed on Xu Bai. Xu Bai knew that the White-Clothed Man was coming for him.

This blankness is different from that of the Female Daoist Abbot; it is pure idiocy, while the Female Daoist Abbot's is a kind of madness, like that of a demon.

But Xu Bai knew that no matter what the situation, falling into the other party's hands would definitely not be good.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Xu Bai roared inwardly.

Although the White-Clothed Man was far away, just a tiny black dot, with each step he took he was able to close a huge distance, each step feeling like a thousand miles apart, a speed that was terrifying.

It only took three breaths to get from the distant horizon to Xu Bai's side.

The White-Clothed Man stood beside the round platform, his empty gaze fixed on Xu Bai.

Behind the White-Clothed Man, the enormous demonic shadow stood between heaven and earth, and even the blood-red light could not avoid it.

Xu Bai felt terrifying pressure, which made him frown, but he remained extremely calm at this moment. He did not choose to take action, nor did he choose any other option. Instead, he made a decision.

What he needs now is just a little time, half a minute will suffice, so he has to drag it out.

"Delay? How can I delay?" Xu Bai took a deep breath. Suddenly, he grabbed his left arm with one hand and tore it off with a whoosh. Although it was extremely painful, he didn't even flinch.

Being ruthless to others is not true ruthlessness; being ruthless to oneself is true ruthlessness.

Xu Bai circulated his True Yuan Power, and in the next moment, his left arm was repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to normal in the blink of an eye, while the arm in his hand turned to ashes.

That was his idea.

If it's a madman, like the Female Daoist Abbot, he really has no way to deal with it, because there's nothing to talk about when you're with a madman.

But the White-Clothed Man... to put it bluntly, is a fool; he always has a way of fooling people.

The Undying Body technique he used, which shares the same origin as the White-Clothed Man's, is likely the most effective at suppressing him.

He was telling the White-Clothed Man, "Look, I have this skill too."

This is somewhat of a risky move, but in the current situation, the more unusual the move, the better; the more unusual it is, the more likely it is to be used to intimidate the enemy.

In his past life, Xu Bai had encountered mentally challenged people. He had tested it and found that if you used something that a mentally challenged person had encountered when they were normal, it would cause them to react abnormally.

Of course, there are only two possibilities: either good or bad. Xu Bai is gambling right now.

If even this can't subdue him, then he has no choice but to admit defeat.

Upon seeing this, the White-Clothed Man abruptly stopped, tilting his head to one side to look at Xu Bai.

He stopped.

Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

Silence fell all around, there was nothing but the blood-red sky.

Xu Bai knew that he could not keep the White-Clothed Man in front of him in check forever, because even a normal person could not be kept in check forever, let alone a mentally challenged person.

He only needs half a minute.

Time is slowly passing by, and the circular pattern at the bottom is gradually being filled.

When the last trace of the pattern was complete, Xu Bai finally relaxed completely. He felt a powerful force pulling him away from the world.

At the same time, the White-Clothed Man not far away seemed to have finally recovered and emerged from his dazed state.

The White-Clothed Man had empty eyes, devoid of any spirit or emotion, and simply took a step forward.

He didn't harm Xu Bai because Xu Bai had already disappeared, and there was no way to harm him even if he wanted to.

But as Xu Bai disappeared, the circular platform in front of him continued to exert a tearing force. When the White-Clothed Man stepped in, the tearing force did not diminish, and the White-Clothed Man was slowly disappearing.

A moment later, the tearing force on the disc finally disappeared, and the place returned to emptiness and quiet. Apart from the blood-red sky and black soil, it looked as if no one had ever been there.

Xu Bai felt a blur before his eyes and a sense of confusion washed over him. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself back in the valley.

"Finally back."

At this moment, Xu Bai was completely naked, but he was overjoyed because he had escaped from that awful place.

Whether it's the Human-Strange Entity Market or the Demon-Strange Entity Market, it's truly not a place for humans; it's filled with all sorts of eeriness.

Xu Bai felt that once his strength improved further, he might be able to have some fun inside.

For example, if you reach the level of that White-Clothed Man, you can jump around freely inside.

Of course, he didn't know if there were any stronger ones inside, but at least he had the ability to protect himself.

With that in mind, Xu Bai decided to find some leaves to cover his important areas first.

After all, if he returned to Soaring Cloud Prefecture like this, he would probably be surrounded by onlookers before he even took two steps. He believed that he had a lot of assets, but he wasn't going to let just anyone see them.

Although this canyon has been scarred and barren after a major battle, there are still many trees outside the canyon, so finding some leaves is not a problem.

Xu Bai lifted his foot, intending to get out of the canyon first, but before he could take two steps, he suddenly felt someone touch his shoulder.

A chill ran down my spine.

Given his current strength, the fact that someone was able to sneak up behind him silently proves that this person is extremely powerful.

Xu Bai, without any hesitation, used his hand as a knife and turned around to unleash the Chess Saber Five Styles.

"Call..."

With his hand hovering in front of the person's neck, Xu Bai didn't make a move. He quickly took two steps back, watching the person warily.

—The White-Clothed Man!

The White-Clothed Man he had encountered in the Human-Strange Entity Market had followed him out and appeared in the same place as him.

"Are you kidding me?" Xu Bai was speechless.

Originally, I just wanted to get rid of this big trouble, but I never expected that this big trouble would still follow me, like a dog skin plaster, which I just couldn't shake off.

It's poisonous, really poisonous.

Xu Bai didn't move, but just stared warily at the White-Clothed Man.

The White-Clothed Man still didn't make a move, just stared at him with those empty eyes, devoid of any expression, but didn't make any threatening gestures.

"What does this mean?" Xu Bai stroked his chin.

The next moment, the White-Clothed Man moved.

The White-Clothed Man then extended his right hand, touched his chin, and made the exact same gesture as Xu Bai.

Xu Bai: "..."

This scene surprised him somewhat. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hands and jumped a few times.

The White-Clothed Man did not move.

Xu Bai: "Damn it!"

He thought the White-Clothed Man would follow him, but to his surprise, it seemed the man was only trying to touch his chin.

"What should I do?" Xu Bai wondered.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The area was desolate and wild, and there were signs of a battle.

At this moment, there was no one else besides Xu Bai and the White-Clothed Man.

Just then, the White-Clothed Man made a move.

He slowly stretched out his hand, his eyes empty, yet he exuded an unparalleled aura, an aura that could shatter gold and jade.

The dark clouds in the canyon sky were dispersed, a sign that action was about to begin. A normal greeting would not have such an imposing manner.

Xu Bai mobilized his internal True Yuan Power, intending to take a gamble.

No matter what, we can't just sit and wait to die. Even if we are outnumbered, Xu Bai is not the kind of person who will surrender easily.

The White-Clothed Man extended his hands slowly, but with an overwhelming force.

As the hands drew closer, Xu Bai waited for the perfect moment to strike.

Just then, the White-Clothed Man suddenly stopped and then retreated rapidly. Behind him, an enormous demonic shadow appeared.

That was the White-Clothed Man's Heavenly Change, carrying a sense of towering stature.

The demonic shadow roared to the sky, but not in Xu Bai's direction, but towards the distant horizon.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked in the direction of the demonic roar. He saw a figure gradually approaching at the end of the pitch-black sky.

The figure was initially small, but in the blink of an eye, it had already taken flight and arrived in front of Xu Bai, slowly descending from the sky.

The simple Daoist robe clung to her curvaceous body, her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded naturally down her back.

Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by one hand, and her long, black hair flowed smoothly down her back, reminding Xu Bai of the phrase "hair reaching her waist."

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow. "Female Daoist Abbot."

This was the same mad Female Daoist Abbot who had reappeared before Xu Bai for some reason. However, this time the Female Daoist Abbot no longer had the madness she had shown before; her eyes were clear and bright, making her look extremely beautiful.

When Xu Bai saw this scene, she recalled what Ye Zi had said to her before.

Ye Zi said that the Female Daoist Abbot used some method to temporarily regain her clarity of mind, and now it seems that this is the time for her to regain her clarity of mind.

This scene clearly shows that the Female Daoist Abbot seems to have come to find him. After all, Xu Bai could guess that the Female Daoist Abbot's recovery of her senses was related to him. Back in the cave, the Female Daoist Abbot had learned his skills.

When the Female Daoist Abbot appeared, the White-Clothed Man became visibly alert, an instinctive alertness as if he had encountered his natural enemy.

"Liu Qingfeng, alas..." The Female Daoist Abbot looked at the White-Clothed Man in front of her, her tone filled with regret. "A genius in the past, now reduced to this state, it is truly lamentable."

The sound was like the song of a nightingale, or like pearls falling onto a plate; it was extremely pleasant to listen to.

The White-Clothed Man still had a blank and empty expression. As the Female Daoist Abbot was speaking, he suddenly raised his fist and brought it down on Female Daoist Abbot.

The Female Daoist Abbot had anticipated this scene; she simply turned around and waved to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai suddenly felt a strong gust of wind appear, dragging him away, and in the blink of an eye, he was moved out of Cracked Cloud Valley.

At the same time, a voice came into his ear.

"Wait for me here. I'll talk to you after I've dealt with Liu Qingfeng. I mean you no harm. Don't go too far. My lucidity is limited. Otherwise, if I can't find you, I'll have to wait until I'm lucid again."

Xu Bai: "..."

He looked at the entrance to the canyon ahead, his brows furrowed slightly.

Then, Xu Bai left Cracked Cloud Valley as quickly as possible.

Don't be ridiculous, nobody's going to stay here obediently.

Even if the Female Daoist Abbot spoke just now, I still need to hurry up and run away first. If the Female Daoist Abbot has any other ideas, then it will be difficult to handle.

He had only taken two steps when the Female Daoist Abbot appeared again.

Xu Bai was slightly surprised. Then he turned around and saw a huge demonic shadow approaching from the direction of Cracked Cloud Valley.

They haven't even started fighting yet, why are they back already?

The Female Daoist Abbot reached into her bosom, then took out a warm, smooth jade pendant and quickly hung it around Xu Bai's neck.

A powerful suppressive force appeared, and Xu Bai found himself unable to move.

"Fortunately, I heard some rumors when I was sober. They say that the Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder is extremely cunning. You were really planning to run away? Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'll be right back." After saying this, the Female Daoist Abbot disappeared again.

Xu Bai felt speechless; he realized that he really couldn't move.

but...

"When the hell have I ever been incredibly cunning? This is called strategy, okay?"

On the other side, the Female Daoist Abbot moved and reappeared in the canyon.

Just as the White-Clothed Man was about to chase after the Female Daoist Abbot, Female Daoist Abbot unexpectedly returned. He immediately stopped and raised his fist to strike again.

The demonic figure behind him made the same movement, and cracks appeared in the sky.

"Liu Qingfeng, if you were sober, I would be wary of you, but now you are only acting on instinct, and you cannot fight me." The Female Daoist Abbot's voice was gentle and soothing, and it was pleasant to listen to.

She raised her soft, boneless hand, and in the next moment, all sorts of strange phenomena appeared around her body.

A large group of figures appeared beside her. Although these figures did not have faces, they were of different shapes and sizes, including men and women, and old and young.

Each figure was making a different movement.

They may raise their fists, kick their legs, stand, or sit cross-legged.

Some figures were carrying weapons, while others were empty-handed.

The Female Daoist Abbot's cultivation Seas Hold All Rivers were all-encompassing, drawing on the strengths of various professions, which led to her madness, and her Heavenly Change was also related to these cultivation methods.

After the power of each figure was gathered together, an enormous Dao pattern appeared in the sky.

The Dao patterns are clearly black and white, yet they possess an unparalleled power.

In the sky, the falling fist and the demonic shadow overlapped and struck the Dao pattern. The next moment, the Dao pattern shone with a light as bright as the sun, and the demonic shadow swayed slightly and actually took a step back.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and under the blinding light, countless cracks appeared on the White-Clothed Man's body, and blood flowed as if it were free.

The cracks are being repaired, but at this moment, the repair process has slowed down.

At the same time, the Female Daoist Abbot slowly pressed down with her left hand, and the Dao patterns in the sky pressed down on the demonic shadow, causing the demonic shadow to shrink rapidly.

The White-Clothed Man's wounds were gradually deepening, and even his face was covered with scars.

He couldn't beat the Female Daoist Abbot, or in other words, he, with only fighting instincts, couldn't beat the Female Daoist Abbot.

Driven by his fighting instincts, the White-Clothed Man raised his fist and unleashed another powerful punch. The Dao patterns rang out with a booming sound, trembling slightly from the impact.

The Female Daoist Abbot hurriedly increased her strength to continue stabilizing the Dao patterns.

Behind the Female Daoist Abbot, the figures roared to the sky, their power converging to enhance the Dao patterns.

The roar continued, and the power of the Dao patterns intensified.

The White-Clothed Man vanished in a flash.

As the Dao patterns descended, the entire Cracked Cloud Valley vanished in an instant under their power, turning into a sky full of ashes.

"They ran away?"

The Female Daoist Abbot waved her sleeve, dispersing the smoke and dust.

She looked at the empty space, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although the man in white, Liu Qingfeng, had lost his mind, his fighting instincts remained, so it was perfectly normal for him to run away now.

"I can't worry about that now. I don't have much time, and I can't go after him." The Female Daoist Abbot stood there for a while, then gave up her plan to chase after him. She turned around and took a step in the direction of Xu Bai. With just one step, she had already entered the outside of Cracked Cloud Valley.

Xu Bai blinked. "You won?"

The Female Daoist Abbot nodded and said with interest, "What, do you think I'm really weak? I can't Rising Dusk King, but that doesn't mean I'm weak, okay?"

Xu Bai chuckled, "Do you still remember fighting with Rising Dusk King back then?"

"Although I'm insane, my subconscious is still intact, and I can sense things. I knew everything when I regained consciousness." The Female Daoist Abbot looked Xu Bai up and down with her clear black and white eyes and said, "Rising Dusk King has good taste."

Xu Bai said, "Since that's the case, then let me go. I have some things to take care of at home, so I won't bother you any longer."

This girl actually remembers when Rising Dusk King hit her, so it seems she also remembers a lot of things that happened before.

The Female Daoist Abbot was about to speak, but when she saw Xu Bai's naked body, her brows furrowed tightly.

Then, she waved her hand, and a Daoist robe appeared out of nowhere, covering Xu Bai Xu Bai.

"You know I meant no harm. If I did, I wouldn't be talking to you like this."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, took off the jade pendant from Xu Bai's neck, and hung it back around her own neck.

Xu Bai regained his freedom, but did not leave. He knew that the Female Daoist Abbot had no ill intentions, but he did not know what her purpose was.

The Female Daoist Abbot asked, "Does this Daoist robe fit?"

Xu Bai stretched and nodded.

The Daoist robe fit him perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for him.

The light purple Daoist robe accentuated Xu Bai's tall and imposing figure, making him appear dignified and mysterious.

Most importantly, the robe is embroidered with the shapes of the sun and moon, and is extremely exquisite. "It is impervious to water and fire, and difficult to be harmed by swords and knives. It can even repair itself." The Female Daoist Abbot said, "I know that you love to trade. How about we make a deal? I'll give you this Sun and Moon Daoist Robe as a prize."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai glanced at the Female Daoist Abbot, then at his Daoist robe, and suddenly revealed a shrewd businessman's expression. "Do you want me to use that ability again, like last time?"

The same thing happened last time, resulting in the Female Daoist Abbot regaining this brief state of consciousness. Xu Bai guessed that it would be the same now.

The Female Daoist Abbot nodded without hesitation, without any attempt to hide her feelings.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, and then uttered three words.

"You'll have to pay more."
