Chapter 310 - 310: Xu Bai: This Isn’t Good Even if I Add Money (8000)
Sensing Xu Baits gaze, the old monk closed his eyes and said,’”‘l’ve already said what I should say. Give me a quick death.”
People in their line of work had long thought of the consequences.
Although they were all afraid of death, they were at least much calmer when facing death.
“No rush.” Xu Bai took out a paper crane from his purse and said,””You still need to play your final role.”
The old monk was stunned and did not understand.
He had already said what he needed to say. What was the point?
Just as this thought rose in his mind, the old monk saw the paper crane in Xu
Bai’s hand fly up and hover in the air before slowly landing between his
eyebrows.
A cold feeling came from the old monk’s glabella. He felt that something in his mind was slowly being extracted.
“Are you looking for a way to find your way?”Before the old monk lost consciousness, he thought,””l see…lf this Xu Bai really becomes the Emperor’s right-hand man, he will be an extremely great threat to any faction…”
After the paper crane landed on the old monk’s forehead, it flew slowly in a certain direction.
Xu Bai raised his Ghost Head Blade and finished off the old monk with one slash. He then searched the old monk’s body, but he didn’t find anything useful.
At this moment, the slowly flying crane was almost out of the courtyard.
Xu Bai did not stop and chased after Zhihe.
The paper crane didn’t fly very fast, so it didn’t take much effort for Xu Bai to catch up.
After chasing after Zhihe for about an hour, he found that Zhihe was bringing him towards the Purple Wood Mansion.
Not long after, Xu Bai arrived in front of a wealthy family.
The plaque above the gate had the words “Miao Family” written on it.
Standing at the door, Xu Bai could smell the strong smell of blood.
When the paper crane reached the door, it turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and thought of what the man in black said at the beginning.
The Miao family had already been exterminated by the black-clothed people, and now, he smelled blood again. To a large extent, he had confirmed the black-clothed people’s words.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai thought that since Zhihe was at the end of the tunnel, there must be some connection.
Without hesitation, he climbed over the wall and entered.
As soon as he entered the Miao Family’s courtyard, Xu Bai saw that the courtyard was already littered with corpses.
“Let’s look for it first.
Although the corpses all over the ground looked extremely terrifying, people in this line of work were already used to it.
Next, Xu Bai began to search every corner of the place.
He didn’t miss any of the corpses or rooms.
He only stopped when there was only one room left.
“This is the last one.” Xu Bai thought, If I can’t find anything, I’ll have to start with my idea.”
With this thought in mind, he pushed open the door.
As soon as she pushed it open, she smelled a unique fragrance.
He couldn’t tell what kind of fragrance it was, but it was quite fragrant. It seemed to be a mixture of several flavors.
After smelling the fragrance, Xu Bai frowned and continued to search the house.
The result was unexpected. Other than the fragrance at the beginning, there was no other discovery.
“It seems that the fragrance is the only discovery, but it’s not very obvious. The other party should have come to clean up the traces.”Xu Bai thought to himself.
After finding nothing, Xu Bai did not stay any longer. He turned around and left, returning to the inn.
There were many things happening tonight, especially the discovery of the mastermind. Another man in black had appeared.
The Purple Wood Manor’s matters were far more complicated than he had imagined. He needed to properly plan his follow-up plans.
“That’s about it.”
Xu Bai filtered through the information in his mind and came up with a conclusion.
He planned to leave the Purple Wood Mansion tomorrow and move to the next location.
It was not that he was afraid, but that this was the only way to catch the big fish behind the scenes.
The reason was none other than the old monk’s words.
The other party’s ruthless words meant that he would definitely not let him walk out of the Purple Wood Mansion alive.
Wouldn’t that be enough?
If he was not allowed to leave alive, then he had to leave.
“Don’t blame me for not respecting martial arts ethics.” Xu Bai looked at the oil lamp in the inn and revealed a sinister smile.
Provoking was useful at any time.
The next day.
Xu Bai woke up early and packed his things. He left the inn and paid the bill. After paying for the room, he did not stop at all. He turned around and rode his horse out of the Purple Wood Mansion.
The direction they were heading in was naturally the direction of the next location.
Since the people hiding in the dark did not want him to walk out of the Purple Wood Mansion, then he would see if anyone came to intercept and kill him.
It would be best if there was someone. There just happened to be no clues. The more opportunities the other party had to make a move, the easier it would be to find a flaw.
It didn’t matter if there was no one. It was fine as long as they went back. They wouldn’t lose anything.
On the official road of the Purple Wood Mansion, there was a fork in front.
The other fork led directly to the Yin Posthouse. Xu Bai came to the fork, paused for a moment, and walked toward the Yin Posthouse.
No one stopped him along the way, but Xu Bai was not in a hurry.
They had not reached the nearest Yin Posthouse yet, and it was not far from the Purple Wood Mansion. If the other party was not in a hurry, why was he in a hurry?
With this thought in mind, Xu Bai continued to drive the horse.
After walking for a while, just as they were about to reach the Yin Posthouse, a young man suddenly appeared and stopped Xu Bai.
Xu Bai tightened the reins. The horse slowly paced and stopped..
