Exposed

This success is of great significance to him. His original idea was to focus on accumulating progress here, and everything else would come later.

He's only been here a short time and he's already reaping rewards; he can already imagine the enormous harvest to come.

At this moment, the entire city has become a ruin. The already dilapidated city appears even more desolate without these eerie creatures.

Dark red light shone down from the sky, falling on Xu Bai, making him look somewhat eerie.

Xu Bai maintained his eerie demeanor, identified another direction, and then left.

He planned to search city by city, collecting all the progress bars he could gather, and also to gather any useful information along the way.

In the dark red sky, Xu Bai was flying very fast. After finding a direction and flying for about half an hour, he finally stopped.

Another dilapidated and desolate city appeared before him, and he could sense an eerie aura emanating from it.

Following the old method, Xu Bai landed at the city gate and fell into deep thought as he looked at the two guards standing in front of the gate.

He walked and pondered.

The fact that this place is guarded proves that it's not like what we encountered before.

With guards present, he figured he could make a good profit here. As he thought this, Xu Bai arrived at the city gate.

The two guards exchanged a glance, then crossed their weapons in front of each other to block Xu Bai from entering.

"The strangeness of your transformation into a mortal, which mountain or place do you come from? With a great battle imminent, someone of your level shouldn't be here."

Those who remained were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, but Xu Bai was simulating the bizarre nature of the Transcendent Realm.

Moreover, Xu Bai's youthful appearance surprised the two guards, who even became suspicious.

Such a bizarre realm has already been utilized; how could it possibly still be wandering around here?

There's something wrong here! The two guards understood, but they still asked around to see if there were any special circumstances. After all, with so many strange things happening, it's normal for one or two to be unusual.

Xu Bai feigned surprise, pointed to himself, and then cautiously approached, asking, "You guys... didn't receive any news?"

"News? What news?" The two eerie guards looked at each other, completely bewildered.

They're responsible for guarding the city here, how could they possibly hear any news? Could it be that there's something new, or some new change? Xu Bai looked left and right, pretending to be mysterious, and quietly approached.

When someone acts mysteriously, as if they want to tell someone a message, the person being told the message will definitely be interested, and interest is the key to lowering their guard.

Intrigued, the two guards instinctively moved closer to Xu Bai, wanting to hear what the secret was.

But at that moment, a surge of divine power instantly invaded their entire bodies, controlling them. The two guards' eyes immediately became vacant, as if they were two pieces of wood.

Xu Bai did not use large-scale control, but instead used this close-range method to control the soul, because he was not yet clear about the situation of the city, and if he controlled a large area, there was a possibility of abnormalities.

There's still a bunch of progress bars and all sorts of secrets waiting for him.

He didn't want anything to happen at this time.

After the two guards were subdued, he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he used his divine soul to explore the souls of the two guards and quickly understood the truth.

Many of the messages were related to the city. Xu Fan also knew that these two guys were essentially two informants planted here. If something happened, they had special methods to pass on intelligence to the strange beings who had entered the Saintly Realm.

There are many cities like this, and the reason for placing guards here is not only to act as spies, but also because this is a resting place for the supernatural beings.

Rest and treatment are all done here.

When dealing with the Chu Emperor and the demons, many monsters were injured, so some cities were specially cleared out. Not only the one Xu Bai encountered, but also many similar cities exist.

"In other words, I can obtain a high-level progress bar here."

Since he was wounded on the battlefield and had to retreat, his strength must be beyond doubt; otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed on the battlefield and only retreated to the rear after being injured.

If his strength was not a problem, it meant that the progress bar was also working well, so Xu Bai thought of the next steps.

Control all these guys, max out their progress bar, and then take them out. This way, you can solve the progress bar problem and also eliminate their forces.

The old, weak, sick, and disabled people who were eliminated at the beginning were of little use to Xu Bai, or rather to the human world.

But things are different now. These wounded soldiers who have been discharged are all very strong, which is just the right way for Xu Bai to weaken their strength.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer. Since there was no one here powerful enough to threaten him, it was time for his divine soul power to make its appearance.

Without any hesitation, Xu Bai directly expanded his divine soul, enveloping the entire surrounding area.

In the blink of an eye, all the strange things around him had been controlled by Xu Bai and came out of the various rooms.

These strange creatures were indeed discovered on the battlefield, so their combat power is really strong. Fortunately, Xu Bai himself has already reached the Saintly Realm, so it doesn't matter.

Xu Bai stretched and examined the souls of all these guys. After finding no useful information, he made them leave traces on the ground.

As progress bars appeared one by one, the light in Xu Bai grew increasingly intense as he looked at them.

"That's awesome! It's absolutely awesome!"

Xu Bai didn't think much of it and hurried to finish the progress bar.

Time passed slowly, and thanks to the upgrade of his cheat system, he was now progressing very quickly.

Although there are many monsters and strange things here, and many things left behind, this does not hinder his speed.

After the last bit of progress bar disappeared completely, he had finished grinding all the skills.

Unfortunately, there is still no Entering Sainthood Failure Insights.

He leveled up a lot of skills, and of course, some mental cultivation techniques, which slightly improved his mental cultivation, but overall, the improvement was not very fast.

"If only the cheat system could be upgraded again," Xu Bai remarked.

With a thought, he erased the souls of all the strange creatures before him, turning them into lifeless things.

This time, he was no longer without a goal, because among the group of strange creatures, one of them knew the map of this place well, so he had also mastered it.

Just follow the instructions on the map; there's no need to wander around like a headless fly.

With a direction and destination in mind, Xu Bai traveled much faster and soon arrived at his new destination.

It was the same dilapidated and desolate city as before, the only difference being that there were slightly more guards at the entrance, indicating that the eeriness here was also slightly greater.

But it didn't matter. Xu Bai continued to use the original method and began to take control of the strange phenomena in the entire city.

He was very skilled in controlling the process, and after he finished, he continued to make these strange creatures leave a progress bar.

Next, he used the same method to complete the entire progress bar, killed the group of monsters, and continued on to the next scene.

"The feeling of harvesting chives on time is just fantastic."

Compared to the human world, in his view, the strange creatures in the Ghost Market were more like waves of leeks, and these leeks were quite mature and growing well.

He was like an old farmer, swinging a sickle around inside, feeling very refreshed and comfortable.

As he headed to the next city, on the distant horizon, the remaining bewitching beings were sitting together.

Not far ahead, the Chu Emperor, dressed simply, stood directly opposite them with a broad smile on his face.

The White-Clothed Man ghost quickly flattered him several times, exclaiming that the master's plan was brilliant, displaying an extremely obsequious and fawning demeanor.

When other colleagues saw him like this, they all looked at him with disdain, but no one would say anything at that moment.

It's not that the stronger you are, the less you need to fawn over someone like a lapdog. In the eyes of the White-Clothed Man ghost, the man in front of him who controls the Chu Emperor and is named Hun Feng is much stronger than him. Naturally, he should admit defeat. Otherwise, replacing someone would be a simple matter for the Supreme Saint.

As it turns out, no matter how high one's position, everyone likes to hear nice things. Hun Feng was very pleased with this, and a comfortable expression appeared on his face.

Of course, he didn't forget his responsibilities, so after smiling contentedly for a while, he brought everything back to the main topic.

"I hope you will hurry up with the unified ceremony, as delays will lead to unforeseen circumstances. Not only will I be frustrated if the assigned tasks are not completed, but even the Supreme Saint will be frustrated."

As soon as Hun Feng finished speaking, everyone present nodded vigorously.

The White-Clothed Man patted his chest forcefully, appearing very pleased, and said loudly, "My lord, please rest assured, we now also have a Exiting Sainthood. What was originally a disadvantageous situation for us has now turned into an advantage. We will immediately proceed with the appropriate procedures, so you can be completely at ease about that."

Hun Feng glanced at the White-Clothed Man and spoke without mercy this time, "I need a specific time, not empty words and platitudes, and I don't want to hear you continue to praise me like this."

The White-Clothed Man's face stiffened. Finally, he gritted his teeth, held up two fingers, and said, "Seven days, at most seven days to complete. Then we will go directly to the mortal realm. But, sir, there are still some things we are not ready for, such as the fact that we have too few people who have entered sainthood."

These issues are also a heavy burden on the mind of the White-Clothed Man.

To be honest, now that the issue of Exiting Sainthood has been resolved, half of his burden has been lifted. Only if the remaining issues can be resolved will his burden be lifted completely.

Hun Feng laughed and said, "You can rest assured about that. You know very well what kind of existence the Supreme Saint is. Just go ahead and get these things. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in the future."

That one sentence is enough. The White-Clothed Man nodded seriously and began to make further arrangements.

After all, even the White-Clothed Man ghost knew that the Supreme Saint was an invincible power, and there was no one else like him.

"Report!"

Just then, a figure interrupted the scene, causing everyone present to frown. A rather short and strange creature rushed in from outside, hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and shouted, "Greetings, sirs! Something terrible has happened. The two medical facilities we established in the borderlands have been completely uprooted, and all the strange creatures inside are dead."

As it spoke, the small, eerie creature wiped the sweat from its brow, afraid of uttering a single wrong word that might displease the other party.

The White-Clothed Man was slightly taken aback. After realizing what was happening, he asked in surprise, "What's going on? Wasn't everything unified? Why is this happening? Have you sent anyone to investigate?"

"We've already sent someone to check the scene, but they haven't arrived yet. Our initial suspicion is that it was done by those remaining demons," the messenger replied eerily.

There's no way around it. Even if they unify the Ghost Market and kill all the demons and monsters who have attained sainthood, the Ghost Market is still full of strange occurrences, and they can't possibly solve them all.

It's quite normal for this to happen, after all, it's common for there to be some die-hard supporters among them.

"Find the problem quickly and resolve it. If you can't resolve it, then report it!" the White-Clothed Man said slyly.

In fact, if it were him, he would never do it this way. He could even go there in person. The unification ceremony is the priority now. Only after unification can we launch a war against the human world.

"Yes!" The messenger left in a strange manner.

Silence fell over the area. Then, led by the White-Clothed Man ghost, they continued to make arrangements for the follow-up plans.

On the other side, Xu Bai looked at the city that had become much stronger, rubbed his hands excitedly, and walked towards the city gate.

Using the same old method, they managed to control the two guards, but the information they received this time was completely different.

—Someone came to investigate.

"I knew it! How could no one have noticed? It seems someone has noticed me. But it doesn't matter. As long as it's not some strange being who has entered sainthood coming in person, we can just take them all."

"Perfect timing. The strange creatures they're investigating might yield some useful clues. It seems we shouldn't kill them; let's wait for them to arrive."

We definitely can't kill them; we'll wait until the investigation uncovers something strange before killing them.

Of course, controlling them to leave a progress bar is perfectly reasonable.

Xu Bai started grinding the progress bar again. After finishing all the progress bars in front of him, he did not leave or take any action. Instead, he disguised himself as an ordinary eerie creature, stood in a corner of the street, and silently controlled these eerie creatures.

There's no sunrise here, so it's hard to estimate the time, but Xu Bai estimated that almost a day had passed.

As time passed, Xu Bai, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally saw it.

In the distance, a strange figure appeared, seemingly walking through the air.
