The old fool

"It's just a matter of addressing the root cause. I initially only had some doubts, but now I understand why Bai Wubian has remained silent and inactive regarding this Lostbelt."

It seems that defeat really beat the old man badly; he can't even stand up anymore.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Bai Cinan's voice clearly showed some interest.

"Oh? It seems there's more to the story. Kid, don't rush to tell me. Let me find out more about this Bai Wubian first. You happen to have something to do here, right? We can talk about the so-called hidden story later."

Meanwhile, outside, Atalanta and Ritsuka arrived. Ritsuka extended her hand in a high-five gesture, and although Bai Mo was a little unfamiliar with her, she still extended her hand and gave her a high-five.

"That's beautiful, Brother Bai! We've won a great victory this time. How about we take this opportunity to cut down the Fantasy Tree in one fell swoop?"

"Don't touch that thing yet, it's connected to the Terrible Emperor!" Goredolf scolded over the communication, but then he also showed a long-lost smile, very pleased with such a victory.

Chaldea has suffered a series of setbacks, and its low morale desperately needs a victory.

"Alright, alright, I got it, just kidding. We should at least send those kids back first, but... maybe we can loot them a bit?"

For some reason, Bai Mo seemed to feel that Ritsuka was more familiar with him than before, even though the girl was naturally outgoing and had a natural affinity for people. At this moment, she grabbed Bai Mo's sleeve and prepared to start a large-scale tax collection.

Goredolf agreed with this.

"Come back soon, this time I'll personally cook a celebratory feast for you."

In fact, even before she lifted a finger, Koyanskaya had already begun a massive looting spree. When she left, every car was completely full.

Everyone sat in the car, Atalanta went to the children's car to comfort them. Ritsuka, meanwhile, kept glancing at the list in her hand, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile.

"Hehe, so much material, senior Kadoc, you're such a good person."

Her mouth was practically watering, and Bai Mo didn't want to watch her there, constantly calculating her profits like Grandet.

Bai Mo closed his eyes and began communicating with the people in his mind. At this time Bai Cinan and the others from the Sea Tiger era already knew about the old man's situation.

Regarding this Sea Tiger Martial God, Oga, the Sea Tiger's nemesis from five thousand years ago, made the following assessment:

"Sea Tiger, you shouldn't have that thing."

"What? Oga, are you jealous that I get to use that thing? Besides, this old man doesn't seem to have anything to do with me at all, does he? He's obviously Cinan..."

Clearly, the ancestors from five thousand years ago were disgusted by Bai Wubian's "efforts and sacrifices" for the Bai Family.

"Father, I love my son very much... at least most of the time. But kid, it seems your luck has finally turned around. Heh, a powerful warrior who had no will to fight before he died, now you finally don't have to fight to the death with a difference of at least one number of units."

Bai Mo asked with some doubt after hearing Bai Cinan's words of relief:

"No will to fight before he died? Who told you that? That old ghost was thinking about killing Bai Chou until his last breath."

Upon hearing this, not only Bai Cinan, but everyone from the Martial God Era showed expressions of confusion, and even Bai Wunan was perplexed.

"What? No, kid Bai Mo, are you serious?"

"Bai Wunan, don't you know? After that old ghost obtained the heart of the Fifth, he pretended to have no desire to fight, but in reality, he's been secretly practicing his skills."

"How would I know about such trivial matters... Tell me quickly, isn't this absurd?"

Inside Kebao's space, the footpads resembling small sofas under Kebao's feet made a sound. Bai Mo's words did indeed seem illogical to them, especially to the person involved.

"No, wasn't Fifth killed by me? Why would this old ghost want to kill Fifth Brother?"

It is indeed somewhat absurd. Ever since Bai Wubian was ambushed by Bai Lubao, his heart was damaged, and at that critical moment, Bai V was willing to give his life to save his father.

From the outside, Bai Wubian lost his son in his later years. Although the old man's feelings for his son are debatable, he did love his son Bai V very much.

Using this grief as a pretext, he secretly trained hard, planning to gain the power to defeat Bai Chou within a year!

Then, Chaya arrived.

Bai Mo revealed all the hidden details, then shrugged and said:

"Then you all know what happened. Just as he was preparing to rise up and take revenge, he was directly killed by Chaya. After gaining a second life, it's inevitable that he would be so dejected."

His demeanor was mostly an act, a way to numb himself. The calming force likely suppressed his self-numbing, forcing him to confront the fact that his son had died in vain. Thus, the old man naturally had no will to fight.

After all, with his death, the Fifth that had given their lives for him were, in his eyes, all for naught.

It even... became a joke.

Upon hearing this, the Strongman Space fell silent. Great Saber Dao covered his eyes with his hand, seemingly unwilling to witness some horrific scene. After an unknown amount of time, several uncontrollable laughs echoed throughout the Strongman Space.

Hahaha, hee hee hee hahaha.

Not everyone had a good relationship with Bai Wubian; in fact, many considered this old ghost their enemy. The laughter mainly came from within the space of the War God Ke Bao.

Not only him, but even Bai Lubao couldn't help but laugh at this moment, seemingly forgetting the pain of being tortured by Kebao.

Bai Wunan seemed to be controlling his facial muscles as he asked Bai Mo:

"Wait a minute, this isn't right. Something's missing. Bai Wubian just became a corpse like that? I remember he was assassinated, wasn't he? Since he didn't lose his fighting spirit and was still secretly cultivating, how could he have died without anyone noticing?"

"He was killed by Chaya in a single exchange, so naturally no one noticed."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Bai Wunan slapped his face and couldn't help but burst into silent laughter. This amused almost everyone from the Martial God Era Bai Cinan.

Originally, Bai Cinan didn't particularly dislike this father who had lost his son, but... the thought that this old ghost cultivated his power to kill Bai Chou made him completely ignore Bai Lubao...

"Could he be suffering from dementia?"

"Bai Mo, you mean this old ghost's son died, he got his son's heart, and then all he wanted was to kill Bai Chou instead of Bai Lubao?"

"Right."

"Then, this guy discovered that his son's heart was incredibly strong, and he could defeat Bai Chou in just one year."

"Right."

"In the end, he couldn't even last a single round against Chaya, and he was killed without making a sound or anyone noticing?"

"Um, if I had to say, did Chaya bring the Heavenly King Sword that time?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cinan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What kind of divine weapon is the Heavenly King Sword? How could it kill him in a single exchange?"

Beside him, the Giant Shark chuckled and thoughtfully explained, "It's one of the two divine weapons I used to forge the Mad Giant Shark. Hehe, you're right, this old ghost probably really is suffering from dementia."

Watching this group of people collectively mock an old man who had lost his son, Bai Mo felt that Bai Wubian's life was truly miserable. He had already died a tragic death, and now he had to be ridiculed even after death.

"It can't be dementia, can it?"

A certain wicked king of the Blue Country mocked this extensively:

"How could it not be that bad? If you ask me, Bai V's heart is a useless heart, but that old ghost can't accept it and forces himself to believe that his son's heart is incredibly strong."

At the same time, due to dementia, he only thought about killing Bai Chou, completely ignoring his real enemy, Bai Lubao. He fell into the illusion that he was already powerful, which is why he was killed by Chaya in one blow, dying silently.

"Boy, tell me, do you think what I said makes sense?"

... It must be said that if Bai Wubian really does have Alzheimer's disease, then this series of behaviors can be explained.

"It's completely undeniable, although I feel it was all a scheme orchestrated by a powerful being..."

"Roar, roar, roar, you'd rather believe a powerful being would scheme against an old ghost than believe that Wubian is just senile? Great Saber, your disciple is truly considerate. I should have snatched it from you back then."
