Xu Bai Moves to Destroy a Faction

Find him? Monitor him? Imprison him?

What is all this? Xu Bai was completely confused. The more he listened, the more bewildered he became. He couldn't understand what this guy was talking about at all.

Just now, without any information being revealed, the Sect Leader controlled by the giant eye pressed his finger on Wu Nan's head, as if transmitting some information.

But this information was not revealed.

Xu Bai paced back and forth, taking advantage of the fact that there was no new progress at the moment, and fell into deep thought.

The first task is to find someone, and Wu Nan seems to have been given this mission, and after finding him, he is to be monitored.

Secondly, the enormous eyes seem to be in a prison, imprisoned inside.

Xu Bai was able to deduce these two points from the information he received.

Just as he was about to analyze the situation further, the surrounding scenery changed again.

The surroundings began to blur, but soon became clear again. After regaining clarity, Xu Bai found himself in ruins.

Not far ahead, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, and in front of this group of people was Wu Nan, who had become very old.

Wu Nan's life force was very weak, but he had no external injuries. Clearly, this was a sign that his lifespan was about to end.

The group of kneeling people were dressed in different clothes, but they all exuded a powerful aura, indicating that they were of high rank and level.

At this moment, Wulan's eyes were cloudy, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles, making him look like he was about to die.

He raised his head, looked around, and spoke in a voice that was old and weak.

"I'm going to die. I never thought I'd survive the resource depletion, but not the passage of time..."

The first words he uttered were filled with endless emotion and a sense of unwillingness, which together created an extremely complex feeling.

Everyone present remained kneeling on the ground, no one looked up, but when they heard Wu Nan speak, they all trembled.

Wu Nan no one was speaking, Wu Nan tried to struggle to stand up, but he no longer had the strength to do so.

After trying several times without being able to move freely, Wu Nan gave up and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"I am unwilling, but I am also willing. I will not die like this, because my master promised me that when he appears, he will definitely restore my life."

"You are the same. You must remember your mission, which is to find people who match the master's description."

"Keep an eye on him, but don't disturb him, and don't let him know too much. Your master has given you special abilities, so you must do your job well."

"In this way, when you are about to die, you will have a chance to come back to life."

Words came from Wu Nan's mouth, but no one present spoke. They all kept their heads down, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Wu Nan sighed, "I know it must be very painful for you to have such great strength but not be able to pursue fame and fortune in the world, but don't forget your identity."

"Everything you have is a gift from your master. Once he is freed from his cage, he will know what you have done. So you can judge for yourselves. Anyway, I'm about to die, so I don't care about anything else."

At this point, Wu Nan was breathing more and more heavily, as if he would lose his life at any moment.

At this moment, one of them raised his head, representing the group, and said, "Sir, if we discover him, we can simply kill him before he gets up. Why do we need to monitor him?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone present nodded, clearly agreeing with the person's statement.

They possess a wealth of skills, bestowed upon them by their master, yet these skills are essentially theirs. By killing the person their master instructed to monitor, they can complete the mission ahead of schedule and use their abilities to enjoy the rights they deserve.

Upon hearing Wu Nan sighed slowly, his gaze sweeping around him with a strange emotion.

How could he not know what these people were thinking? Yes, having such great strength but always choosing to keep a low profile is something that is hard for anyone to accept.

But... it has to be this way.

Wu Nan's aura shifted from weak to strong. He suddenly stood up and, as if in a final burst of energy, said, "These things should also be told to you. All you need to know is that he is unkillable."

"You may be able to kill people, but you cannot kill him. With each death, he will become stronger."

"The master once said that he had sent people to kill him tens of thousands of times. Each time he died, he became stronger. No one but the master could kill him."

"All you need to remember is that from now on, whenever you see someone in a state of madness where chaos and reason are intertwined, just stare at them intently, and that will be enough..."

At this point, Wu Nan hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground again. His eyes slowly closed, and the life force in his body gradually disappeared, eventually turning into nothingness and becoming a stiff corpse.

Everyone present remained silent, and the image froze.

At the same time, everything in front of him began to dissipate, Xu Bai appeared in the Royal Palace Treasury.

It's over.

That concludes all content regarding the Illusion Pearl.

The content ended, but that didn't mean it was over for Xu Bai. On the contrary, Xu Bai's shock at this moment could only be described as a monstrous wave, which he simply couldn't suppress.

He understood; he understood everything.

A frenzy where chaos and reason intertwine—isn't that him? So, he was the one being monitored! He seemed to understand something.

"Perhaps it wasn't me, but him."

Xu Bai recalled what he had just witnessed and quickly came to a conclusion.

He just said he was killed many times, but each time he became stronger. Does that mean "he" refers to a cheat code? In other words, does it mean that the cheat code was given to many people, but all the people who received it died, while the cheat code survived and gradually became stronger with each successive iteration, eventually ending up in his own hands?

If that's the case, Xu Bai felt that he had made sense of it.

But there was still one thing he couldn't understand.

The cage must be Ruins.

Xu Bai learned from the old man that the only real thing in the Ruins was that Giant Eye.

But the giant eye is only in the Ruins; in other words, the Ruins are a cage, a prison for the Giant Eye.

So... he died tens of thousands of times because he was killed by someone controlled by the Giant Eye.

After sorting things out in this way, Xu Bai understood some of the later things, especially the fact that the person who ambushed Wu Hua was the organization that Wu Nan had set up back then.

This organization doesn't care about anything in the world, nor about other people. They have only one goal: to find you, monitor you, and keep you in the dark.

"I see, so this was specifically targeted at me."

After figuring everything out, Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

They understood the mysterious force, the prison, and the targeting of the Giant Eye.

Although he didn't know the identity of the Giant Eye or the origin of his cheat ability, he did know that there was an inevitable connection between the two, and most importantly, that the Giant Eye was incredibly powerful.

It's terrifying to think that one person can take on five Saints.

Xu Bai was lost in thought. He was about to pour himself a glass of water to calm himself down, but as soon as his hand touched the teacup, he suddenly pulled it back, realizing something was wrong.

Something's not right!

"The Giant Eye can descend. In that era, it descended upon the Sect Leader and killed five Saints. Moreover, it Wu Nan before that."

"How could it be a cage?"

Xu Bai felt that many of his brain cells had died, because he was now trapped in a dead end again.

He stood up and paced back and forth, trying to clear his mind.

Beside them, Wu Hua and Liu Qingfeng saw that Xu Bai had been silent all along, but now he suddenly got up and paced back and forth. Although they didn't know why, they understood that Xu Bai was thinking about something important, and it seemed that they wouldn't be involved in it.

They remained silent, afraid of disturbing Xu Bai Xu Bai and interrupting his train of thought.

A deathly silence fell over the Royal Palace Treasury.

A moment later.

Xu Bai finally slowed down and came to a stop.

He connected the two appearances of the Giant Eye and derived some patterns.

"The first time it appeared, I didn't know why, but the second time it was due to the Deity Summoning Method the Giant Eye was brought over directly. In other words, the Deity Summoning Method is absolutely not to be touched."

After figuring out the key point, Xu Bai had already quietly laid out the Deity Summoning Method.

Now, the Deity Summoning Method has been integrated into Myriad Miscellaneous Arts, and he can use it whenever he wants. However, considering the consequences of the Sect Leader's actions, he feels that he should avoid using it if possible.

If we accidentally manage to get hold of that giant eye, well, then we won't need to monitor it anymore. We can just wipe it out, and he won't even know who to complain to.

"The best course of action now is to hurry up and finish reading all the remaining books in the Royal Palace Treasury."

Having found the clues and figured out the Illusion Pearl, Xu Bai quickly made up his mind to first finish reading all the books in the Royal Palace Treasury and improve his strength.

Thinking about this, he prepared to find another book to study, but before he could even pick it up, he overturned his previous idea.

"The most important thing to do now is not to create some kind of progress bar, but to wipe out that force."

Now that he had received accurate information and knew that the force was targeting him, he knew he could never allow a tiger to sleep peacefully beside his bed.

Moreover, that group of people is connected to the Giant Eye, so they absolutely cannot stay.

"You want to spy on me? Fine, then I'll wipe you out completely," Xu Bai thought to himself.

As he thought about it, a sharp and imposing aura naturally flowed around him.

Wu Hua and Liu Qingfeng, who were standing nearby, knew that someone was definitely going to be in trouble.

"Wu Hua, do me a favor," Xu Bai said, narrowing his eyes.

Wu Hua was slightly taken aback, not understanding what it was about, but since Xu Bai had spoken, he nodded in agreement.

"Can I lend my Black Lotus to someone?" Xu Bai asked.

Wu Hua nodded subconsciously. "It is possible, and it can be used, but it won't be able to unleash its full power."

After he finished speaking, he quickly realized what he had said and stared at Xu Bai with a look of horror on his face.

"Benefactor Xu, are you trying to borrow my Black Lotus?"

Xu Bai nodded. "That's right, that's what I think too."

He came up to Wu Hua, patted Wu Hua on the shoulder, and said, "You know, now that you've become their prey, they'll definitely attack you again, because if you can see it once, you can see it a second time."

"Then the problem is very simple. You lend me the Black Lotus, I transform into your appearance, and go out for a stroll. Do you think they will make a move?"

"Hiss..." Wu Hua gasped.

If Xu Bai's analysis is correct, then this possibility still exists.

Liu Qingfeng overheard this and muttered to himself, "This is what you always call fishing, right?"

Xu Bai smiled and said, "First, catch a small one, then use that small one to follow the trail and find the big fish behind it. That should do it."

"But it's not absolute. What if the other party doesn't make a move?" Liu Qingfeng continued to ask.

Xu Bai shrugged. "It doesn't matter. If they don't make a move, I'll think of another way."

Xu Bai had to try everything, so he came up with this method and decided to give it a shot to see if it would work.

If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways; if it does work, that would be the best.

Wu Hua understood what Xu Bai was going to do. He raised his right hand, and a miniature Black Lotus appeared on his hand.

"Brother Xu, you only need to inject your power into it to control its size and changes, but you cannot attack or defend."

Xu Bai took it and tried it as Wu Hua had instructed, and it really worked.

However, this functionality is greatly reduced.

It only has the function of changing size, and it can't even carry Xu Bai.

After all, this thing is Wu Hua's treasure, and even Xu Bai can't use it smoothly.

That's enough. Making it fly is actually very simple; Xu Bai can just fly with this lotus flower.

"There's no time like the present. Let's wait a few days before taking action," Xu Bai said with a smile.

Logically speaking, Wu Hua was seriously injured and would need some time to recover after arriving here. He would only leave once he was fully recovered.

With Xu Bai's control, the Black Lotus gradually shrank, becoming the size of a chess piece, which he then casually put in his pocket.

Wu Hua's lips twitched slightly. To be honest, it felt quite strange to see her treasure being so casually put away by the other party.

"In that case, let's proceed according to plan," Xu Bai said, narrowing his eyes.

Time passed slowly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Xu Fan was not idle. He kept watching the progress bar and completed all the low-level skills. After acquiring a lot of skills, he did not choose to finish the book on Entering Sainthood Failure Insights.

This thing is very uncomfortable. For Xu Bai, he didn't expect to feel uncomfortable after making this decision.

Humans are all perfectionists.

He didn't know how many skills this book on Entering Sainthood Failure Insights could integrate, so naturally the more the better, which is why he hadn't used it yet.

The feeling of having a mountain of treasures but having to refrain from using them is extremely unbearable.

Several times Xu Bai couldn't resist the urge to finish writing down the last bit of his Entering Sainthood Failure Insights, but he forced himself to resist.

Fortunately, he now has something to do, which allows him to temporarily distract himself.

"Benefactor Xu, please be careful on your journey," Wu Hua, standing in the Royal Palace Treasury with his hands clasped together.

Today is the third day, and in these three days they have done a good job of putting on a show. A large amount of medicinal materials have been sent into the Royal Palace Treasury, all to create the illusion that Wu Hua is being treated.

Now that the time has come, Xu Bai will not linger here. He will now pretend to be Wu Hua and head to the Buddhists in Sheng Province.

After circulating his True Yuan Power and putting on clothes exactly like Wu Hua's, Xu Bai had transformed into Wu Hua in black with black hair.

Without saying another word to them, he left the Royal Palace Treasury directly.

Because prior notice had been given, no one here stopped him, even though Xu Bai was currently in a state of Wu Hua.

Soon, Xu Bai walked out of the city gate, left the Royal City, and came to a desolate wilderness.

Upon reaching the desolate wilderness, he no longer walked, but instead took to the air and flew towards Sheng Province.

They were very fast and made a big show of it, as if they were in a hurry.

He stood on Black Lotus, which was being drawn in by his True Yuan Power, as if the Black Lotus was dragging him through the air.

Nothing happened along the way, and we flew for about half the distance before it gradually got dark.

Xu Bai frowned slightly, but showed no sign of being anxious.

He knew that if the other party really wanted to eliminate future troubles, now was the perfect time to strike, and the fact that they hadn't made a move yet meant they were probably waiting for the best opportunity.

With that thought in mind, Xu Bai stopped thinking about it and continued on his way.

As time went by, they got closer and closer to Sheng Province.

Just when Xu Bai thought the other party really wouldn't make a move, danger suddenly struck.

A gust of wind blew by, and a bright spot appeared in the distant sky.

The bright spot was initially only the size of a sesame seed, but in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of us.

This is an arrow, an arrow shrouded in green light.

The green light exuded a dangerous aura; if you were hit, the consequences would be dire.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. "They've finally arrived."

He had thought that the other party would really let Wu Hua go back, but now it seems that the other party will not miss this opportunity.

Seeing the arrow that was about to hit him in the blink of an eye, Xu Bai slapped him across the face.

"Bang!"

A dull thud was heard as the arrow snapped in two, but the green light on the arrowhead suddenly exploded.

The explosive green light spread rapidly, enveloping Xu Bai.

At the same time, more than a dozen figures rushed over from afar. These people looked very ordinary, but when they made a move, they revealed their powerful strength.

Everyone possesses a transcendent realm; if Wu Hua were to encounter such a person, he might die on the spot.

The attack landed within the green light, penetrating it and producing a series of booming sounds.

The clouds in the sky were dispersed by the lingering force, and a dozen people surrounded the green light, their faces cold.

The leader was a man carrying a longbow, who was clearly the one who started shooting arrows.

"It's done?"

"The person next to me asked."

The man holding the longbow did not answer, but shook his head.

The green light contracted and soon disappeared completely. After the green light disappeared, Xu Bai appeared in mid-air with a faint smile on his face.

"Impossible!" The man holding the longbow was stunned, clearly not believing what he was seeing.

"How could someone who has only one foot in the Extraordinary Realm possibly survive in front of more than a dozen transcendent experts like us?"

It wasn't just this person who was shocked; everyone else was too, and they all found it unbelievable.

Just then, Xu Bai spoke slowly with a smile.

"Gentlemen, I didn't expect you to actually want to kill me. In that case, I'll give you a quick death."

His words were very calm, but the tone he used was chilling.

Xu Bai's appearance was changing, and soon he looked just like himself.

At that moment, even the most obtuse person present knew what had happened.

The man with the longbow was the first to react, shouting, "Oh no! It's Xu Bai! Everyone, run!"

After he shouted it out, he ignored everyone around him and took the lead in running away.

The people around reacted quickly, turning around and preparing to run away almost as soon as the words were spoken.

But how could they escape? Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint in them. With his True Yuan Power circulating, his divine soul rapidly expanded, enveloping the surroundings.

The next moment, everyone present froze in mid-air, their faces turning extremely blank.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xu Bai clicked his tongue and said, "I thought that eye would bury something in your souls, but it seems it didn't. I guess it's imprisoned in the Ruins and has very few tricks up its sleeve."

I thought the control measures were ineffective, but things turned out differently than I expected.

After all, when he questioned Wu Nan at the Ruins, Wu Nan instantly went berserk and turned into Thought Gods.

However, upon closer reflection, it's normal that Xu Bai was able to control it.

If that Giant Eye is imprisoned in the Ruins, and if such a method truly existed, these people wouldn't need to take action.

Xu Bai's original plan was to capture someone and interrogate them, but now it seems that interrogation is no longer necessary, because there is a more direct method.

"Smack!"

With a snap of his fingers, all the stiff-faced people turned around and came to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai pointed to the man holding the longbow and said, "Name."

"Wang Xing," the man holding the longbow replied stiffly.

"Now, tell me everything you know, in detail." Xu Bai gleamed with excitement, as if the mystery was about to be solved.

He knew that he would definitely gain something this time.

Because these people in front of us are the closest to the Giant Eye.

Under Xu Bai's control, Wang Xing, almost without hesitation, slowly recounted everything he knew...

Xu Bai had been listening the whole time, but when he finished, his expression turned strange.

"I think I've found a very important treasure."
