Yun Zihai Loses Control

When he said this, Yun Zihai hesitated for a moment. Xu Bai noticed his expression and felt that Yun Zihai was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him.

This sense of unfamiliarity is strange, yet it fits the current scene perfectly, without feeling out of place at all.

If it were the past, Yun Zihai would never have shown such hesitation. No matter how difficult the choice was, he would never have shown it on his face.

The sense of unfamiliarity Yun Zihai felt towards him was growing stronger, giving him the illusion of facing a complete stranger.

"Let's find a quiet place to talk!" Xu Bai looked around. Although it seemed deserted, there were quite a few hidden spies around, so it wasn't convenient to talk here.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the palace after saying those words.

Yun Zihai and Liu Qingfeng followed behind, and the three of them arrived at the Royal Palace Treasury in no time.

As soon as Xu Bai sat down, Yun Zihai raised his right index finger and drew in mid-air.

As he sketched, pages emerged, revealing his unique Heavenly Change, his Righteous Qi shielding the surroundings.

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow, looking quite serious.

He didn't say much, waiting for Yun Zihai to reveal his so-called secret.

After doing all this, Yun Zihai took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and recounted his recent experiences.

He didn't miss anything; he told us everything that was relevant.

He felt resistant when talking about these things.

He didn't know why, but he didn't want to say these things at all. However, he used his strong willpower to control himself and said them.

"Phew..." Yun Zihai let out a long breath, feeling much more relaxed, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

Liu Qingfeng had no other clues, so he was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

But when he turned to look at Xu Bai, he saw that Xu Bai looked very serious, and he knew that this was a big deal and could not be taken lightly.

He had never seen Xu Bai with such an expression before, so it was no small matter.

"Should I excuse myself for a moment?" Liu Qingfeng asked after a moment's thought.

Xu Bai turned his head. "There are some things that can't be said yet, so please excuse us."

It's not that we should hide things, but these are crucial clues, and the fewer people who know these things, the better. In fact, this is a form of protection.

If we find out, get involved, or if the giant eye uses some special means to cause abnormalities, then it would be a losing proposition.

The loss is not just a few lives; that so-called Supreme Saint aimed to destroy the world.

Having cultivated to this level, Liu Qingfeng was naturally a wise and insightful person. He didn't say much, turned around, left the area covered by the Heavenly Change, and disappeared into the Royal Palace Treasury.

After they left, the place fell silent, leaving only Xu Bai and Yun Zihai.

Xu Bai remained silent, unsure how to begin this matter. In fact, he had already grasped the clues when Yun Zihai revealed the truth.

Today, he went to the Great Chu Kingdom's palace and learned from Chief Commander Mu that the Supreme Sage has many lackeys in countless worlds.

These lackeys are looking for a springboard to descend upon their world and deliver a powerful blow.

At first he didn't know what a stepping stone was, but now he does.

After listening to Yun Zihai's account, he gradually understood that this springboard must be the countless doors that appeared in Yun Zihai's dream.

The gate symbolizes countless worlds, and these gates are absorbing his power, making him weak. Every time he advances to a higher realm, he will be absorbed once. If this is the case, Yun Zihai may bring disaster upon himself.

Moreover, ever since he saw Yun Zihai, Xu Bai has felt an extremely unfamiliar feeling towards him.

Her appearance and demeanor remained unchanged, yet this sense of unfamiliarity was so abrupt that it was immediately apparent to anyone who saw her, without requiring any explanation.

"Perhaps after becoming a stepping stone, this situation will be a hugely dangerous change," Xu Bai thought to himself.

Lately, life has become increasingly complicated, with one thing after another, like a ship that never stops sailing on the sea with no end in sight.

But when it comes to recent disasters, none are more numerous than those in these countless worlds.

Originally, it was the Ghost Market that put immense pressure on them, but with the current reversal of the situation, the Ghost Market is now at a disadvantage.

However, now these new worlds have appeared, and these worlds want to descend upon their location.

This isn't just one world, it's countless, meaning there are too many to count.

No matter how many powerful people there are, they cannot withstand the attacks from countless worlds. Even if all the attackers are extraordinary experts, their numbers are still terrifying.

Quantitative changes can easily lead to qualitative changes. Even if one enters sainthood or Exiting Sainthood, it is impossible to protect the peace of the world.

This crisis is the biggest one besides the one involving the Supreme Saint. Now that Xu Bai has obtained the intelligence first, how should he handle it?

Seeing that Xu Bai was frowning and hadn't said a word, Yun Zihai felt a little uneasy.

He had a bad feeling that kept growing in his heart and he couldn't shake it off.

At that moment, he subconsciously touched his face, making a thinking gesture.

But when he made that move, he stood there like a piece of wood, motionless.

"What's wrong with me? I never do that!"

Now that things have come to this, even if Yun Zihai is slow to react, he has finally noticed his own abnormality.

The action he was doing now had a very strange and peculiar feel to him, as if he were very familiar with it and was doing it completely subconsciously.

But he had never done this before, and the combination of contradiction and unfamiliarity left him puzzled.

When he uttered those words unconsciously, Xu Bai, who had been silent, also snapped out of his daze.

Xu Bai looked at Yun Zihai and sighed.

Yun Zihai looked puzzled and was even muttering to himself.

He knew that Yun Zihai had discovered something different.

Some things can't be hidden, especially since one of the parties involved was present at the scene, making it even more impossible to conceal. Therefore, Xu Bai decided to tell the truth.

"Brother Yun, please don't be anxious. Let me explain this matter slowly." Xu Bai sensed that Yun Zihai was becoming increasingly agitated and unable to control his emotions, so he quickly spoke up to comfort him.

If it were someone else here, they might not be able to calm Yun Zihai down.

But as soon as Xu Bai spoke, Yun Zihai's chaotic and anxious emotions instantly calmed down.

"Brother Xu, just tell me, no matter how big the blow, I can bear it," Yun Zihai said with a wry smile.

By now, he was aware of his own abnormality.

No matter what happens, he feels he can handle it.

After something happens, the most important thing is to resolve it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, especially for people in this industry. It's perfectly normal for strange things to happen.

While Yun Zihai was speaking, Xu Bai finally organized his thoughts and said everything he knew.

The whole process was short; it was all explained in a short time, without any reservations.

After Xu Bai finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

The surrounding environment was desolate, making one feel uneasy. Yun Zihai's eyes also became extremely empty, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

"Why is it like this? A springboard? Connecting to countless worlds? If that's the case, I'll become a sinner in this world. I might unleash a large number of invaders, and history books will surely record my name as one that everyone curses."

Yun Zihai's voice was very soft, but his tone was full of sorrow.

At first, he believed that he could handle any situation, no matter how big it was, because people in this industry were known for their exceptional resilience.

But after hearing what Xu Bai said, he realized he had been overthinking things.

This isn't a question of whether we can withstand it or not; it's that we simply can't withstand it.

If it were just a life, he wouldn't care, but now that he's about to become a sinner for all time, that's what he values most.

He was indeed incorruptible, and even regarded serving the people as his lifelong principle.

But no normal person would want to be portrayed as a sinner for all time in later history books, right?

Yun Zihai's face grew paler and paler, and he felt that he could no longer hold on.

Xu Bai stood up and patted Yun Zihai on the shoulder. "Things haven't reached the point of no return, Brother Yun. Don't be sad. When we faced life-threatening threats back then, we never gave up."

There are only a handful of people he can truly consider friends, so Xu Bai couldn't bear to see Yun Zihai dejected. Moreover, he knew Yun Zihai's personality and was worried that Yun Zihai might do something foolish.

Yun Zihai's face was pale, his eyes were blank, and his tone was filled with despair. "Brother Xu, what do you think I should do?"

Even in the face of life and death, he would not despair, but this time there was truly no other way.

He knew about the Supreme Saint and countless worlds, and in his eyes, the chances of him defeating him were almost zero.

It was this feeling of despair that prevented him from taking any step.

Xu Bai sighed, "I don't know what happened in your dream. Why don't we try tonight? Maybe I can help."

In Xu Bai's view, the matter definitely needed to be resolved, but based solely on Yun Zihai's description, which he hadn't personally witnessed, he couldn't guarantee that it could be erased.

So he wanted Yun Zihai to try again and see if he could dream about those things.

"But... I'm worried that if we do it again, we'll release them again," Yun Zihai said with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai shook his head. "Brother Yun, concern leads to confusion. You're already in a state of confusion, so don't think about anything else."

"Have you ever thought that you are becoming less and less like yourself? You are gradually becoming a different kind of person. Although it seems slow, it is unstoppable."

"Therefore, we must take drastic measures to solve the problem."

"Of course, I'm not saying I'm the only one here. We're heading to the Great Chu Kingdom's palace right now."

To be honest, she wasn't very confident about handling it alone, but having a Exiting Sainthood made all the difference.

With Chief Mu, Eunuch Wei, and him on board, the chances of success are even greater.

"The Great Chu Kingdom's Imperial Palace..." Yun Zihai murmured to himself, then nodded, "I want to go."

Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Yun Zihai would get stuck in a rut; as long as he was willing to work on it, the problem would be easy to solve.

Yun Zihai had just finished speaking when he added, "If this can't be resolved, then please kill me, Brother Xu. That way, they'll have no springboard. Dying at Brother Xu's hands would be an honor."

Xu Bai said helplessly, "Brother Yun, you're not someone who gets discouraged easily. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's set off quickly."

Yun Zihai didn't say anything more sentimental. Knowing that time was of the essence, he didn't waste any more words and agreed.

Xu Bai never expected that he would have to leave again so soon after arriving.

The two of them seized the time and flew into the air overnight, heading towards the royal palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Due to the urgency of the situation, both of them flew at full speed. After a long journey, they were getting closer and closer to the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom, but at this moment, Yun Zihai suddenly stopped.

When Xu Bai saw Yun Zihai stop, he also stopped, turned to look at Yun Zihai, and frowned deeply.

"What is it?"

Yun Zihai remained suspended in mid-air, not answering Xu Bai. He kept his head down, so his expression was not visible.

Xu Bai suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

At this moment, Yun Zihai's aura was gradually changing. He no longer had the Righteous Qi of a scholar, but instead had a kind of aura that made people feel comfortable.

It's like a child who doesn't fit in and is ostracized by the other children.

"Brother Yun, you need to stay calm," Xu Bai reminded him. "We'll be there soon."

He knew that Yun Zihai was gradually becoming a different person, and now it seemed that things were getting out of control.

As soon as Xu Bai finished speaking, Yun Zihai, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised it. His eyes were no longer filled with emotion, but were empty.

A chaotic aura lingered around Yun Zihai's body. At the same time, Xu Bai, through Yun Zihai's eyes, saw what appeared to be a door slowly opening.

Yun Zihai's face was expressionless, but his tone was extremely painful as he struggled with his words: "Brother Xu, kill me, kill me! I can't control him anymore, he's out!"

In mid-air, Yun Zihai clutched his head and rolled around repeatedly.

Painful words followed one after another.

"Kill me! I don't want to be a sinner for all time!"

"For the sake of our friendship, kill me, and hurry up!"

"Quick, I can't control myself anymore, the door is about to open!"

That familiar feeling is fading, replaced by something unfamiliar.

In Yun Zihai's eyes, a chilling aura was gradually spreading from the open door...
