Chapter 257 Mark
Xu Bai had already learned the specific situation from Qin Feng just now.
But how to deal with it depends on what happens next.
He was not far from the main hall, which was the largest building. When he came to the door, he found that the two guarding disciples at the door silently made way.
"Please!"
One of the so-called disciples stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, but Xu Bai could see that the smile on this guy's face was obvious.
Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly, then he sighed and walked forward. Not long after, he walked to the door and knocked on it.
"Come in."
A voice came from the room. Although it was a female voice, it carried a sense of majesty that made people unable to look directly at it.
The leader of the Guyue Sword Sect has a very high status and controls such a large force. People like this who have been in a high position for a long time do not need them to learn, but only need to be subtly influenced to have this momentum.
Xu Bai took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked in.
The space behind the door is very large. From here, there is a red carpet all the way to the end.
Outside the red carpet, there are exquisitely carved bluestone bricks.
At the end of the red carpet is an extremely huge throne, which is inlaid with various gems and looks extremely luxurious.
And on the top of this throne, there is a sword inserted.
This is an ordinary iron sword. The shape is not exaggerated. It belongs to the kind that no one will see if it is thrown in a place, but when it is inserted on the throne, it invisibly enhances the style of this sword.
These are not the most important. The most important thing is the person sitting on the throne.
A woman in her thirties, but wearing a man's outfit.
Although the woman is in her thirties, she looks very beautiful. This man's outfit does not look abrupt on her, but sets her off like a sharp sword.
Seeing Xu Bai coming in, the woman waved her hand, and a sharp sword energy bypassed Xu Bai and closed the door behind her.
Sword energy is originally an offensive weapon, but in the woman's hands, it is as easy as a finger. Even if it hits the door, it does not cause any damage to the door. This control is amazing.
Seeing this scene, Xu Bai took two steps forward and arched his hands: "Junior Xu Bai, meet the sect master."
Gu Yao, the sect master of Gu Yue Sword Sect, had cold eyes. After seeing Xu Bai's actions, she laughed.
In the laughter, there was a cold meaning, as if seeing Xu Bai made her very unhappy.
"The dignified Prince Xu actually saluted me. This is too unreasonable. If it spreads in the martial arts world, I guess everyone will come to curse my Gu Yue Sword Sect." Gu Yao's words were full of ridicule.
Xu Bai put down his hands helplessly: "Sect master, I already know why you are hostile to me, but I came here this time for an urgent matter."
As he said, Xu Bai repeated his purpose.
Gu Yao's eyes were calm when Xu Bai was talking, without any change. When Xu Bai finished speaking, she suddenly raised her right hand.
The iron sword inserted in the throne left the throne with her movements and fell into her right hand.
The iron sword trembled slightly and made a clear sound. It didn't seem like a dead object, but like a living object.
"Good stuff." Even if Xu Bai didn't care much about the artifacts, he could see that this iron sword was not as ordinary as it seemed.
"Of course it's a good sword, handed down from a distant era, do you think it's a good sword?" Gu Yao wiped the sword with her fingers: "A sword that can cut through space, a treasure of the seventh level of sainthood, and it's not disposable."
"Hiss..." Xu Bai took a breath of cold air.
The seventh level of sainthood may not be as good as the masters of the ninth level of sainthood, but don't forget that this is a treasure, and it's not a disposable treasure.
There are very few treasures in the world, let alone the treasures of sainthood.
It can be said that if Gu Yue Sword Sect has this sword, the foundation of the top forces will not be shaken.
Xu Bai rolled his eyes. He also realized that Gu Yao seemed to be waiting for him to speak, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, can you lend it to me?"
Gu Yao shook the iron sword, and the sound from the sword body became clearer: "This sword is the foundation of my Gu Yue Sword Sect. After using it once, it will take a month to use it again."
"And because of the characteristics of the sword space, even if someone who has entered the ninth level of the Saint comes, I can use it to escape. So, with such a sword, what reason do you have for me to help you?"
Xu Bai's smile did not change. He had heard that since he could communicate with him, it was not that there was no way at all. It just depended on whether he could make it through.
If he could make it through, everything would be fine. If he couldn't make it through, he would go back to find Eunuch Wei and think of other ways.
But Xu Bai knew that this trip would probably be successful.
Gu Yao saw that Xu Bai could still keep smiling at this time, and the coldness in his eyes became more obvious. He put the sword back on the throne and waved his sleeves: "Go, I don't want to lend it to you."
Xu Bai did not retreat a single step: "Master, I already know what happened, but things need to be resolved, right?"
When he said this, Gu Yao's aura changed. He originally looked like a sword hidden in a scabbard, but now he looked like a sharp sword out of the scabbard.
The rolling sword energy rushed towards him, and each sword energy was as terrifying as the creation of the world.
Xu Bai stood there, without moving a step, letting the sword energy rush towards him.
When the rolling sword energy was about to touch his body, it disappeared inexplicably, as if it had never appeared.
Gu Yao's cold eyes softened a little: "You are a good material for staying calm in times of danger. I heard that you are best at fighting across levels. Can you fight against the Saint now?"
Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "I think I can beat the Saint of the first level."
He has three Saint of the first level skills. Although his own strength has not reached the Saint, he thinks he can still fight.
"Okay!" Even though Gu Yao was a little unhappy with Xu Bai, she couldn't deny Xu Bai's strength.
Xu Bai smiled and said, "Can it be solved?"
Gu Yao laughed and said, "You said it can be solved? My daughter hasn't been happy for a long time because of you, and she has secretly wiped tears. Tell me, how to solve this problem?"
Hearing this, Xu Bai spread his hands helplessly and said, "I really didn't expect it!"
He thought his emotional intelligence was good enough, but this matter... he really didn't expect it.
"Didn't expect it?" Gu Yao stood up, and his momentum began to rise again: "Ye Zi, Chu Ling, Liu Xu, and the little girl next to Chu Ling, so many, you thought of them, but you didn't think of Chu Yu?"
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.
Gu Yao continued, "I heard that you left some words for Liu Xu and Qing Xue, the little girl, to make them very happy. I don't need to think about it. I know what it is. At the beginning, that old bastard Sheng You said the same thing to several women."
Xu Bai: "..."
Okay.
He never expected that King Shengyou would be caught in the crossfire in the end.
But from what he heard, King Shengyou used to play around quite a lot, but unfortunately he was finally subdued by this tigress.
Horrible, really terrible.
Wuhua was right before, women are tigers!
After Gu Yao pointed at Xu Bai and talked for a while, her anger subsided a little, and she sat back on the chair and said, "Come on, tell me a way, you look like you can convince me, let's try."
As she spoke, her face was full of disdain.
Xu Bai scratched his head, but he didn't think anything of it, after all, this expression was the most normal.
Which parents don't protect their children?
Xu Bai is going to be a father soon. If one day his children are wronged, he will probably pick up a knife and cut that person into eight pieces.
So if you put yourself in someone else's shoes, this matter will seem particularly normal.
Of course, the premise is that you must explain it clearly and make Gu Yao happy.
How can I be happy?
Actually, it is very simple.
Xu Bai suddenly raised his hands and bowed to Gu Yao: "Mother-in-law, please accept my son-in-law's greetings."
Gu Yao: "..."
Xu Bai stood up and blinked his eyes, meaning that this is OK, right?
Actually, to put it simply, it is Chu Yu's matter.
Is it okay for him to agree?
Don't talk about anything else. He feels at ease to agree to this matter.
Chu Yu is beautiful, and they have experienced many things together. Before this matter was exposed, everyone was friends.
But what about after it was exposed?
Only a fool would not agree.
It is not impossible to have three wives and four concubines in this world.
A man is liked by a beautiful and bubbling woman, and the two get along very well, so why can't he marry her?
Don't talk about other useless things, as long as he is a normal man, he will agree.
Those who are greasy and want this and that are just cheap bones, and those who don't agree and are ambiguous are scumbags.
Xu Bai himself is not such a person. He is like this to Liu Xu and Qing Xue.
Gu Yao felt completely collapsed. This was the first time she had seen someone like Xu Bai.
She thought she would have to spend more time talking, but the other party's action and words just now blocked all her words.
"Are you so happy?" Gu Yao said.
Xu Bai nodded directly: "Of course, but it's not good now. I have to seize the time to improve my strength. I will give them a satisfactory answer in the future. I will definitely be satisfied."
Gu Yao didn't say anything, just stared at Xu Bai directly.
Xu Bai didn't say anything either, and looked back at Gu Yao frankly.
The surroundings became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
After a while, Gu Yao stood up silently and pulled out the iron sword on the throne.
"You are two people, right?"
Although he didn't say he agreed, this action showed that Xu Bai had passed this level.
Xu Bai nodded and snapped his fingers. The controlled Wang Xing walked in from the door with a dull face.
"Follow me." Gu Yao didn't waste words and walked out with the iron sword.
Xu Bai followed behind him and soon left the building and went straight to the back mountain.
This way he went straight up to the top of the mountain. There was a platform on the top of the mountain, which looked very sloppy.
"Once this iron sword is used, it will attract terrifying anomalies, so it's better to be here."
Gu Yao said: "Tell me where you are going."
Xu Bai turned around and looked at Wang Xing next to him.
Wang Xing's eyes were dull and he said a place.
Gu Yao nodded: "Remember what you said."
Xu Bai quickly said that he knew and would never break his promise.
Gu Yao made a sword flower with the iron sword in his hand. Soon, a ray of light appeared on the iron sword and fell on a dry grass on the ground.
The dry grass was shining brightly, and Gu Yao pulled it up and handed it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai asked in confusion: "This is..."
"This sword has the attribute of space, which is temporarily given. The dry grass can store things for a month. If the dry grass loses its function after a month, the stored things will also run out." Gu Yao explained.
Xu Bai suddenly realized it. He tried to explore it with his true energy and found that there was a huge space hidden in the dry grass.
Since this kind of thing is temporary, it cannot be prepared in large quantities. And judging from the meaning, the iron sword is estimated to be consumed, so Xu Bai can only use it as a temporary emergency.
But this is enough.
This trip is for those treasures. He can take them alone. At most, he can make a few more packages, but it is too conspicuous. With this dry grass, it is much more convenient.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Xu Bai didn't feel embarrassed when he spoke.
Gu Yao just nodded, without further ado, stretched out her hand and wiped the sword, her fingertips were cut by the blade, and blood seeped into the iron sword.
The iron sword was like a huge sponge, absorbing the blood instantly. At the same time, the iron sword, which originally looked ordinary, became somewhat sharp.
The air around the iron sword became distorted, and at the same time, Xu Bai saw fine cracks in the air around the iron sword.
Space!
This is a holy treasure that can break through the limitations of space, and at this moment, it is showing its power.
"Go!"
Gu Yao did not make any big moves, just gently let go of his hand and let the iron sword leave.
The next moment, the iron sword seemed to have a soul, and it sank directly into the sky, and soon disappeared without a trace.
In Xu Bai's puzzled eyes, a huge pillar of light suddenly appeared in the sky and landed directly on the open space not far away.
Gu Yao pointed at the pillar of light: "Just go in directly."
Xu Bai certainly did not mean to distrust.
Time was urgent, so he thanked her and led Wang Xing into the light column.
As soon as they entered, the light column suddenly shrank and soon disappeared, and Xu Bai and Wang Xing were no longer visible.
A small black dot appeared in the sky, which gradually enlarged in the blink of an eye, and an iron sword fell from the sky.
Gu Yao stretched out her hand and held the iron sword in her hand, her mouth slightly raised, and her men's clothes could not hide her sharp figure: "Mother-in-law... this title is good."
Her mood improved, and her steps became much lighter. She walked back slowly along the mountain road...
...
After Xu Bai entered the light column, he did not feel any discomfort, as if he was still standing there, but then his eyes blurred, and he
found that he heard the sound of the waves.
Turning his head, he was standing on a beach, with surging waves behind him, hitting the shore.
Wang Xing stood beside him, his face still dull as wood.
This is a small island, an extremely remote island, empty.
The island was full of rocks and not even many trees.
Given the remoteness of this place, even if the Great Chu State knew there was such a place, it would not care.
Xu Bai said, "Lead the way."
He was very excited. After all the ups and downs, he finally arrived here. Now he just wanted to go to the place where the treasures were collected and rob everything inside.
Wang Xing received Xu Bai's instructions and silently led the way in front.
Walking on this deserted island, they soon came to a cave on the island. When Wang Xing led Xu Bai into the cave, Xu Bai knew how many treasures these guys had collected.
The cave was not too complicated. After all, this place was too remote, and there was no need to do these things to hide.
When Xu Bai came into the cave, he found that there was another world inside.
Inside the huge cave, all kinds of treasures dazzled the eyes. At a glance, it was full of golden light.
Books, utensils, elixirs...
All kinds of treasures were placed in different categories, and each category was piled up like a small mountain.
"I've made a fortune, I've really made a fortune this time!" Xu Bai's eyes lit up, mainly focusing on the small pile of secret books. Hundreds of extraordinary secret books, all with bright progress bars at a glance.
He knew that he had made a fortune this time.
Without saying anything, Xu Bai took out the dry grass that Gu Yao had given him before and circulated his true energy.
The dry grass had a huge attraction, and the pile of treasures like a mountain were all sucked into it by him with the dry grass.
In the blink of an eye, the cave in front of him had become empty.
And what he got in return was just a slightly heavy dry grass.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, put the dry grass back in his arms, turned his head and looked at Wang Xing next to him, and said: "Next, it's your turn to call your companions over."
He wants to collect treasures and kill people.
He would not delay either of these two things, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.
Wang Xing nodded dully and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Xu Bai did not know what method Wang Xing used to contact his accomplices, but he knew that Wang Xing would be absolutely loyal after being controlled by him, so he waited patiently.
But looking at Wang Xing's current appearance, there should be a special means of contact between them, and it is also extremely mysterious.
"It's all that huge eye, what on earth is he?" Xu Bai took advantage of this free time to think secretly.
After a while, Wang Xing opened his eyes.
"It takes time for them to rush over, and they didn't rush over together."
Xu Bai nodded, and understood the meaning.
With the surge of true energy, his body shook, and he had already turned into another person.
This was also one of Wang Xing's companions, who was sent away by him before leaving. It was absolutely safe to turn into this person.
"Then next, just wait." Xu Bai thought.
He found a seat and sat down, waiting patiently. While waiting, he took out a book and started to work on the progress bar.
…
Time passed slowly, and three or five days passed in the blink of an eye.
And during these three or five days, except for the first day when Xu Bai worked on the progress bar, he did not work on the rest of the time.
In the past few days, people came one after another, and they were controlled by Xu Bai as soon as they came. In just these few days, he had controlled dozens of people.
More than half of the total number of hundreds of people were controlled by him, and Xu Bai felt that this matter was stable.
It’s true that Xu Bai’s life during this period was quite regular. Every day he was outside enjoying the sea breeze and working on the progress bar.
When someone came, he controlled them by the way. The whole process was extremely comfortable.
People always yearn for a better life. In Xu Bai’s mind, life will be peaceful in the future, and he will take his woman with him, either living in seclusion in the downtown area or living on such an island, which is wonderful.
Lying on a stone, Xu Bai looked at the progress bar.
Beside him, dozens of people stood like wooden logs.
Xu Bai did not kill them, keeping them alive could avoid suspicion.
The people who came were all extraordinary masters, and they flew over. If they saw that there were few people on the island, they would definitely be suspicious, so the possibility of being suspected would be greatly reduced.
Killing them all together at that time would save him a lot of trouble.
Not far away, Wang Xing ran over quickly.
"The rest are all here."
Xu Bai stood up from the stone, put the book back into the dry grass, and looked at the sky in the distance.
At the end of the sky, there were dozens of figures rushing over quickly.
Xu Bai smiled and said, "You guys are finally gathered together. Okay, I can finally send you off."
After saying this, the dozens of figures had already fallen from the sky and landed on the island.
Before they could stand firm, Xu Bai activated his true energy.
The next moment, all the extraordinary masters present were controlled by him.
Xu Bai let out a long breath and rubbed his brows with his hands, feeling that it was still a bit strenuous.
It was normal for him to find it strenuous to control more than a hundred extraordinary masters with the skills of the first level of sainthood, and he himself was only at the ninth level of extraordinary. He probably wouldn't be able to control a few more.
"Is the number of people correct?" Xu Bai looked at Wang Xing next to him.
Wang Xing nodded, indicating that the number of people was correct.
Xu Bai then moved his neck, and his true energy surged again. His soul swept towards everyone present with a terrifying pressure.
In an instant, this group of people was instantly killed by Xu Bai and turned into corpses.
Xu Bai didn't feel anything. This was how he treated his enemies. If he wasn't a little more ruthless, he might be the one to die.
"Well, things here are over. Next, we will quietly return to the barbarian fiefdom."
This trip only includes going there but not returning. After all, even the iron sword can't send a round trip, so Xu Bai needs to quietly hurry back.
Of course, there is no problem at all. After all, until now, those two barbarian bastards don’t know that they are gone.
Xu Bai stretched his body, which was warmed by the sun, and prepared to take off and continue on his way.
Just as he was about to fly, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he felt a huge pain in his head.
"What's going on!"
Xu Bai put his hand on his forehead and found that it was covered with sweat.
He felt as if something had drilled into his forehead and left a mark.
