Temple West of Sheng County (8000)

As Great Wind rushed into the room, a sound came from the dark light. The wind carried poison and was corroding the Vajra Heart Demon Body.

Through the hole, Xu Bai saw a person standing on the wall, completely wrapped up so that his face was not visible.

Seemingly noticing that Xu Bai was watching him, the man quickly jumped off the wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The gale continued, carrying deadly poison; the wind was chaotic, constantly blowing around the courtyard.

Where are you going?

Xu Bai was not about to let this opportunity slip by. He opened the window, used the Four-Directional Step Technique had just acquired, and disappeared into the backyard.

Just as he climbed over the wall, he saw that the figure from before had already run a long distance away. Xu Bai did not stop, but continued to use his movement technique to chase after the figure.

The Four-Directional Step Technique is quite different from the Four Xun Movement Technique. When the Four Xun Movement Technique is used, the person moves like a ghost, giving people a light and weightless visual impression, and it is very elusive to use.

However, the Four-Directional Step Technique is different. When it is executed, it is bold and unrestrained, with each step being upright and righteous, and each step carries a soaring, iron-blooded intent.

With his third-tier movement technique, Xu Bai's speed was now vastly different from before. In the blink of an eye, he was able to keep up with the speed of the figure in front of him.

The distance between the two remained constant; neither of them increased or decreased the distance, and they continued their pursuit in this manner.

The streets were quiet in the dead of night, but the footsteps were like a sudden storm. Some people were awakened and opened their windows to look outside, only to see two fleeting figures pass by.

"What kind of ghost is this, in the middle of the night?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the people all shuddered, quickly closed their windows, and went back to bed, not daring to look any longer.

Meanwhile, the two chased each other and in the blink of an eye, they had already left the county town.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord was now in despair. He never expected that his attack would not only fail to have any effect on his opponent, but would also put him in danger.

At first, he disguised himself as Yun Zihai and pretended to ambush Xu Bai, but it was just a test. Today was something he had planned all along.

There is virtually no chance of poisoning water or food.

He had been secretly following Xu Bai was particularly cautious about his food and drink.

As for using disguise, such attacks are only effective at the initial surprise attack. Once the opponent knows your identity and becomes wary, it is easy for flaws to appear.

Disguise can change his physique and appearance, and even his voice, but it cannot change his habits.

If he were to impersonate someone and spend a lot of time learning about that person's habits, manner of speaking, and actions, he might be able to use that method to eliminate Xu Bai, but he doesn't have that time now.

In the end, he decided to use his poison skills to solve this big problem.

He couldn't harm Xu Bai through food and drink, but today was a good day, and the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Today is a Great Wind day. The wind is very chaotic at night, surging in from all directions. If there is poison in the wind, then there is no way to defend against it from any direction.

But he miscalculated. When he saw the dark light rising from Xu Bai's body, he knew that his only option was to run away.

We have no choice but to run away; we can't win.

Fortunately, he was very confident in his agility.

His nickname was given to him by others, but they would never know that his weakest point was actually poison.

As for the strongest, it is movement technique.

After all, he was a man who had been around in the martial world, and he was a cautious person who understood that the key to survival was to keep his life. Therefore, he had already cultivated his third-level movement technique to its peak.

That night, he was able to escape unscathed, and Xu Bai did not continue to pursue him, proving that the other party had no way to catch him. But what he never expected was that something would go wrong tonight.

This is not a minor issue; it's a matter of life and death.

"How could his movement technique have improved so much overnight? This is too abnormal." The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord thought about his plan as he ran.

In just a short while, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord had brought Xu Bai to the outskirts of the city.

Xu Bai continued the chase with ease, drawing his Ghost-Head Saber and brandishing it as he pursued, much like a butcher wielding a cleaver.

Tonight, this guy must be killed, otherwise Xu Bai won't be able to sleep peacefully.

"How can I allow someone else to sleep peacefully beside my bed?" The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord thought to himself. "There's no other way but to take him to that place. Since he wants to die, I'll grant his wish."

He changed his direction along the way. Although the distance between him and Xu Bai was instantly shortened due to the change of direction, it gradually returned to a balanced state.

Xu Bai noticed that they had changed direction midway. As he chased after them, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in his gaze.

This guy is cunning.

But having already come this far, Xu Bai didn't want to give up. It was like mounting a horse and getting ready to fight; it would be a real shame to give up now.

The two chased each other for another while.

At this moment, the flat road ahead suddenly becomes steep, followed by a dense forest. There is one view outside the forest and another view inside.

Outside the woods, there were sounds of birds, beasts, and insects chirping, but inside the woods, it was as quiet as a ghost town.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord raised his hand, threw a dark pill into his mouth, and then plunged headfirst into the forest.

At this moment, Xu Bai was still some distance away from the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord. When he saw him dive in, he frowned.

As the saying goes, one should never enter a forest. This forest looks very strange, and rushing in might pose an unnecessary danger.

The distance between them was far beyond the attack range of Maple Leaves Like Rain. After getting a little closer, Xu Bai reached into his waist, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and shot them towards the forest.

The copper coins cleanly severed the forest ahead, but a layer of black mist emerged from the gap in the trees, corroding any copper coins that touched the trees.

"Poisonous?" Xu Bai thought to himself, "It's just poisonous."

It's just poisonous; the highest record of this Thousand-Faced Poison Lord is only killing a sixth-rank expert.

Today, I'm going to unleash my full power!

Streaks of dark light rose from his body as he made full use of the Vajra Heart Demon Body.

At the same time, the True Yuan Power within his body surged and operated in a very special way.

Cosmic Shift!

The two fourth-tier skills consumed a great deal of energy, but Xu Bai remained calm. A warm current flowed through his kidneys, replenishing what he had lost.

—A Strengthening Kidney Method!

His kidneys held enough True Yuan Power for a sixth-rank expert to cover his expenses for the time being.

Below the sixth rank, I am invincible!

Xu Bai, like a prehistoric behemoth, charged fiercely into the forest, enveloped in dark light.

The forest was quiet, but ever since Xu Bai broke in, the surrounding poisonous gas seemed to come alive, rushing in all at once, with each tree representing a different kind of poison.

Various poisons appeared, but upon encountering Xu Bai's dark light, they were quickly dissolved by his Vajra Heart Demon Body.

But that's not all.

A portion of the potent toxicity, through the manipulation of the Cosmic Shift, was directed towards different trees. Each tree originally carried a specific type of poison, but after Xu Bai's Cosmic Shift, each became imbued with a different toxin.

The trees began to wither and melt.

All signs of life turned to death before Xu Bai.

A figure is fleeing for their life ahead.

Looking behind him, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord saw a figure that resembled a demon god, and only one thought crossed his mind.

Run, run as far as you can!

He's not taking the job anymore!

Some jobs could make him a fortune, but this one would only lead to his death! This forest was originally created by him for Yun Zihai.

Every tree inside is covered in various toxins, so once Yun Zihai enters, it will be impossible for him to leave easily.

When all the toxins combine, the resulting power can defeat even a sixth-rank master.

Moreover, Yun Zihai's health was already poor; even a tiny bit of toxin would be enough to cause him serious harm.

The pill he just took was a pill specifically designed to neutralize seventh-grade poisons. Even with such a pill, it could only last for half an hour at most in the forest.

But he never expected that the terrifying martial arts master behind him could not only withstand the poison, but also transfer all the poison.

He didn't even see the martial arts man make any move; he was still blindly chasing him, his speed undiminished.

Could this person be the chosen one of destiny?

I've never seen anyone in the martial arts world with so many skills, and so strong at them.

That's outrageous!

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord ran while thinking.

He couldn't help but think of the person who had introduced him to this job, and cursed him inwardly.

I shouldn't have accepted that!

After we escape today, we'll go after that person!

Thinking of this, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord ran even faster.

But this so-called faster speed did not bring him any relief, because Xu Bai's speed remained unchanged.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding forest gradually collapsed, becoming a barren wasteland due to the corrosive effects of various toxins.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord continued running, with Xu Bai chasing after him.

But after running for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord's speed began to slow down.

After a long and arduous journey, he was starting to feel the strain.

Turning around and glancing behind him, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord felt utterly hopeless.

Behind him, Xu Bai took large, sweeping strides, his imposing presence like towering mountains pressing in on him.

Among the Four-Directional Movement Technique, the Marching Step itself is a military movement technique, which emphasizes long-distance running and requires excellent endurance.

Even if the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord had eight legs, he still couldn't beat him. "I'll chase you. If I catch you, you'll..."

Behind him came Xu Bai's voice, which sent a chill down the spine of the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

The sound was like an eerie whisper, and he was starting to feel overwhelmed.

As time passed, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord felt as if he were hallucinating, dizzy, and lightheaded.

His internal strength was rapidly dissipating; he was severely depleted and already struggling to keep up.

"Smack!"

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord felt dizzy and tripped over a stone, falling to the ground.

Not good!

This fall, ironically, brought him to his senses.

In a life-or-death chase like this, even the slightest mistake can easily lead to disaster, let alone his fall.

Sure enough, Xu Bai's voice came from behind.

"I've finally caught the drug addict."

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord turned around and tried to get up using both hands and feet, but then he felt a sharp pain in his hands and feet. When he looked in the direction of the pain, he found that his hands and feet had already flown into the air.

Blood splattered, and pain surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing him.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord passed out quickly and easily.

The pain made him dizzy without any pretense.

Xu Bai was also very quick. He used the external medicine he had obtained from Qing Xue again and quickly stopped the bleeding of the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

This scene seemed familiar. If Qing Xue were to see it again, Qing Xue would definitely cover her eyes and shake her head in dismay.

Of all people to mess with, why did I have to mess with this guy?

Once it falls into this guy's hands, not even a complete corpse can be preserved.

"It's done." Xu Bai smiled with satisfaction.

When dealing with enemies, one must be ruthless in one's methods. Only in this way can one ensure that the other party has no dirty tricks to use.

Xu Bai took advantage of the moment and searched through the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord's information.

He thought he wouldn't gain much, but he was wrong.

Besides a bag of silver coins, he also found a book.

The book has four large characters on it: "The Hundred Poisons Scripture".

This is easy to understand; you can tell at a glance that it's a poison technique used by the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

The problem is... there's a progress bar! Great stuff! "What a pity, I didn't find a way to disguise myself." Xu Bai felt a little regretful.

This guy's disguise skills are much better than Liu Xu's, and he's really envious of them, but he hasn't been able to find them.

Now in the middle of nowhere, Xu Bai didn't bother with the progress bar. He put the Hundred Poisons Scripture in his pocket, grabbed the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord's hair, and headed towards the county town.

Sheng County), County Office.

Looking at the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord had fallen into a coma, Yun Zihai fell into deep thought.

Tonight, he was still thinking about what had happened before, especially the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

I was planning to devise a plan to lure out the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord, deal with him, and then see if there were any clues.

But I really didn't expect that Xu Bai would come knocking on my door today.

Yun Zihai knew exactly how difficult it was to deal with the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

The difficulty lies not in the strength of the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord, but in his escape techniques.

Yun Zihai was a scholar, and he wasn't good at this kind of thing.

Even if you write the word "speed" on your name, you still can't catch up with someone who specializes in the same thing.

Therefore, Yun Zihai has been having a lot of headaches lately, mainly because of this Thousand-Faced Poison Lord, which has caused him to have trouble sleeping these past few nights.

But to his utter surprise, Xu Bai not only brought the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord -Thousand-Faced Poison Lord tonight, but also brought him after severing his hands and feet.

Has everything changed in just a few nights?

Or did he have insomnia last night, only falling asleep in the middle of the night, and then sleep for several days after waking up? That's too outrageous! "Brother Xu, forgive my bluntness, but are you one of those seniors in disguise? It's said that some seniors with a perverse sense of humor like to impersonate juniors." Yun Zihai rubbed his hands together, preparing to step forward and confirm Xu Bai's identity.

"Clang!"

The Ghost-Head Saber was drawn.

"Stop trying to be clever, get on with the work," Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai reluctantly withdrew his hand, looking at the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord in front of him with awe.

That's too ruthless. Brother Xu went way too far.

But I like it.

At this moment, after being dragged along by Xu Bai and staying in the County Office office for a while, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord gradually woke up.

When he saw the two people in front of him, he felt utterly hopeless and understood his predicament.

He wanted to speak, but then realized something was wrong.

"I almost forgot, because you know how to use poison, I was worried you might have poison hidden in your teeth, so I knocked all your teeth out," Xu Bai said calmly.

He had thought about this problem when he came; after all, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run, right? Thousand-Faced Poison Lord: "..."

My hands and feet are gone, and my teeth are gone too.

This blow made him feel terrible all over.

"Give me a quick death, I admit defeat." The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord closed his eyes.

Because he has no teeth, his speech is a little unclear, but fortunately it is still understandable.

"You've been in the martial world for a long time, don't you know that for people in the martial world, the word 'exhilaration' is sometimes a luxury?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

"If you tell me what you know, I can give you a quick death," Yun Zihai added.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord opened his eyes, sneered, and remained silent.

"I vaguely remember that you have never been loyal to anyone, so how come you are so loyal?" Yun Zihai frowned.

"If you just arrest me, I'll tell you who it was. But he cut off my hands and feet and broke all my teeth. I think it's better if you don't know. That way, I can die without feeling guilty." When the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord mentioned this, he stared at Xu Bai with hatred, as if he wanted to devour Xu Bai alive.

Yun Zihai turned his head and sensed a murderous intent behind him.

Xu Bai stepped forward and slapped Thousand-Faced Poison Lord twice across the face, then stepped on Thousand-Faced Poison Lord's chest with his right foot, his tone chilling.

"You have double standards."

Yun Zihai didn't understand what the term "double standard" meant.

But he could understand what Xu Bai said next.

"You came to kill us, so you're not allowed to torture me a little?" Xu Bai said.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord's face was swollen, but he shut his mouth again, not wanting to say a word.

Clearly, he was too to speak after being so tormented.

"Brother Yun, do you have any methods of torture to extract confessions?" Xu Bai asked Yun Zihai.

"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that the torture instruments used by the yamen probably wouldn't have much effect on him. And as a scholar, I haven't really paid much attention to this aspect." Yun Zihai said, his face full of shame.

He is always meticulous in his work, but he didn't consider this.

"You don't have it, but I do. It's just a little waste." Xu Bai took out a small medicine bottle.

He began asking if there were any other methods of torture to extract confessions, but he didn't want to waste a single pill, since Qing Xue was nowhere to be found, and the supply of this medicine was cut off.

The two of them were plotting loudly here, and the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord naturally reacted as well. He opened his eyes, looked at the medicine bottle in Xu Bai's hand, was confused for a moment, and quickly realized what was going on.

"Hundred Ants Heart-Devouring Pill!"

It was quite obvious that the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord seemed to know him and was very afraid of him.

Yun Zihai recognized it too and said, "It seems that the misunderstanding between you and the Ninth Princess has been resolved. She was even able to give you this. This is something that the Ninth Princess uses specifically to extract confessions."

Xu Bai: "..."

He really wanted to say that he had extorted this thing from Qing Xue, but he felt that saying it would damage his positive image.

Everyone has to maintain their dignity. Xu Bai's upright and dignified image cannot be tarnished by a bottle of pills.

"She was too enthusiastic and insisted on giving it to me, so I had no choice but to accept it reluctantly," Xu Bai sighed.

Qing Xue isn't here, otherwise she would definitely roll her eyes.

"Since you recognize this pill, you must understand his pain. If I..." Xu Bai changed the subject, but didn't finish his sentence.

"I will speak," the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord replied quickly.

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow, thinking that the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord was quite sensible.

"I'm a drug addict, so of course I understand the effects. I can't stand this pain, so I'd rather have a quick death." The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord said, "You just want to know who's behind this. I know who hired me, but that person is definitely not the one behind it. He's just a middleman."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai did not speak, but continued to wait.

Because his teeth were broken, the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord had difficulty speaking, but he still managed to finish what he was saying.

"There's a temple about 300 li north of Sheng County. It's an unnamed temple. The monks inside found me and asked me to kill you."

A temple without a name? Xu Bai stroked his chin. This was another new clue, but was it plausible?

"I have said what I can say. As for whether it is true or false, you can judge for yourselves. I have only told the truth. Believe it or not, it is up to you," said the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

Xu Bai looked at Yun Zihai: "How about we get one?"

Yun Zihai nodded. "Take one."

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord's eyes widened. "I've already told you everything I know, and you still want to harm me? This is just too much. Don't you have any sense of chivalry?"

These two people are so inconsiderate!

I've already told you all, yet you still treat me like this.

Is this reasonable?

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord regretted it deeply. He shouldn't have run away back then. Instead of running away, he should have fought to the death and avoided this humiliation.

The expected pills did not appear, and Xu Bai put the medicine bottle away under the surprised gaze of the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

The Ghost-Head Saber was drawn and landed on the neck of the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Xu Bai asked.

The Thousand-Faced Poison Lord shook his head and said, "I've thought about these things since I entered this industry. The affairs of the martial world are settled in the martial world. In this terrible martial world, how many people can have a good ending? But I have lived through many experiences that ordinary people cannot even dream of. That's enough."

Xu Bai smiled and brandished the Ghost-Head Saber in his hand.

Blood splattered everywhere in Yun Zihai's room.

Yun Zihai remained silent throughout.

It wasn't until Xu Bai turned around and looked at him that he realized what was happening.

"Brother Xu, I think the two of us should go and take a look," Yun Zihai.

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it is at least a piece of news, and since its authenticity cannot be verified, it must be verified.

"We'll set off tonight," Xu Bai said. "Delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances."

Once you have the news, it's best to act as soon as possible. If you act too late and new complications arise, you'll be caught off guard.

Yun Zihai said no more and found a brush and books in the room.

"Let's go."

The two left the County Office and, under the cover of night, hurried toward the location that the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord had mentioned.

At this moment, the night was already deep, especially in the desolate outskirts outside the county town, which were swallowed up by the darkness and appeared somewhat terrifying.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai walked in the darkness without saying a word.

According to the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord, there is a temple less than 300 miles north of Sheng County, and they are heading in that direction.

The journey was peaceful and uneventful; nothing happened, and Xu Bai did not experience any of the roadblocks or unexpected incidents he had imagined.

They were moving very fast, and by the time they were almost at their destination, the first half of the night was still not over.

A mountain appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

The two stopped and simultaneously looked up at the not-so-high mountain.

It was too dark to see clearly inside, but the mountain path in front of us was fairly flat, and the surrounding weeds were all leaning to the sides, indicating that people often walked on it.

The phrase "in the middle of nowhere" aptly describes the two people's current situation.

"Someone has walked this mountain path before, so it seems there really are people in these mountains," Xu Bai said.

Places like this are far from Sheng County and also far from another county town, just at the extreme distance.

Furthermore, the mention of the temple by the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord makes it easy to connect the traces left on the mountain path with the temple.

"Brother Xu, please be careful." Yun Zihai held a book in his left hand and a pen in his right, adopting a wary posture.

In the entire Sheng County, only those two people are truly capable.

Having received the news from the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord, they rushed over as fast as they could, in order to prevent too many changes from happening.

Just because there's news this time doesn't mean there will be news next time, so we need to seize the opportunity.

Xu Bai looked up, still surveying the mountain, and after hearing Yun Zihai's words, turned back and said, "I'm fine, just be careful yourself."

When he was chasing the Thousand-Faced Poison Lord, he used the endurance characteristic of the Four-Directional Movement Technique, so he didn't expend too much energy.

In that forest, despite his fierce appearance, he hadn't actually depleted much of his True Yuan Power in his kidneys.

After all, the True Yuan Power stored in his two kidneys was equivalent to that of a sixth-grade master.

Without further hesitation, the two set off towards the mountain path.

Even though people have walked this mountain path before, and the weeds on both sides are leaning to the side, it is still very difficult to walk on.

It was already dark, and they were unfamiliar with the road. They also had to be wary of the dangers around them, so their speed was a bit slow. They were indeed much faster than ordinary people, but it was still too slow.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and the mountain road had no forks, leading straight to the top of the mountain.

On the mountaintop.

There is a huge platform here, surrounding the area below the mountaintop, as if someone had cleaved a space in the middle.

The space is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

In the very center of this platform stands an ancient-style temple.

Xu Bai turned his head and said, "It seems that guy was right; there really is a temple here."

As darkness fell, the temple appeared even darker, without even a single oil lamp.

If the two hadn't been sharp-eyed, they might have missed the temple altogether.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai arrived at the door, looked at the door with its paint peeling off, and then looked up at the top of the door.

There was no plaque above the gate; if it weren't for the fact that the building's style resembled a temple, they would have thought it was an ordinary house.

"Brother Xu, let me do it." At this moment, Yun Zihai suddenly spoke up.

Although Xu Bai didn't know what Yun Zihai wanted to do, he still silently took a step back to give him space.

Yun Zihai, picked up his brush, and began writing in the darkness.

The brush moves through the air, writing lines of text.

The characters are not in regular script, but rather have a wild cursive style.

Because the writing was so messy, Xu Bai couldn't figure out what the characters were even after looking at it for a long time.

"Perhaps only those in the same industry can see it," Xu Bai thought.

He couldn't help but think of an industry from his previous life, an industry that was said to be discerning only among those in the same profession.

--doctor.

Especially when Xu Bai was a child, hospitals back then were not like they are now; prescriptions were all written by computer.

The prescriptions written by doctors back then were unrecognizable to ordinary people, but those who prepared the medicine could.

Just like now, in Xu Bai's eyes, Yun Zihai's actions were no different from a divine book.

Fortunately, this action did not last long. After the characters were formed, Yun Zihai paused with his brush and then withdrew his right hand.

As he withdrew his right hand, he also raised his left hand. On his left hand, the thick book automatically opened, with one page floating in mid-air.

The words floating in mid-air fell onto the paper and arranged in order. After a moment, a piece of paper radiating light appeared.

"Brother Xu, I'm using this as a boundary to enclose the area so that no one can escape," Yun Zihai said in a low voice. "But once it spreads, the people inside will definitely find out that my defenses aren't very strong. We need to act as soon as possible."

Xu Bai nodded.

Yun Zihai said no more and tossed the paper in his hand into the air.

The pages of the book gradually flew into the air, spinning in the very center of the temple. Words swirled around, and a semi-transparent barrier emerged from the middle of the pages, enveloping the entire temple.

The barrier is very thin, just as Yun Zihai said, it can only block for a moment at most.

Moreover, the scale of the operation was so large that even an ordinary person could see something unusual about it.

Therefore, they must hurry and break into the temple as soon as possible, and clear away all the abnormalities in the temple.

As for the so-called sneaking in, that would be even more dangerous.

Firstly, one is unfamiliar with the terrain, and a slight misstep could lead to a wrong turn.

Secondly, what if the other party notices and sneaks away? Wouldn't they have wasted their time?

The moment the barrier formed, Xu Bai and Yun Zihai exchanged a glance. Then, Xu Bai raised his foot and stepped on the gate.

The already dilapidated door shattered into pieces after Xu Bai kicked it shut.

Xu Bai drew his Ghost-Head Saber, his body enveloped in the dark light of his Vajra Heart Demon Body, and charged in without a word.

Yun Zihai reacted quickly, following closely behind Xu Bai as they entered the gate.

But the next moment, the two of them stopped at the same time, looking at the situation inside the door, their faces unable to hide their surprise.

Xu Bai originally thought that once he entered, it would definitely be a fierce battle, and it would take some time before he could get what he wanted.

But to everyone's surprise, the situation inside was completely unexpected.
