Chapter 755: The Nine Heads Are Dead or Alive

Chapter 750 – The Nine Heads Don’t Stop Dying

“This feeling.”

“It’s just too marvelous.”

The young girl’s tone became a bit mesmerized, “It’s like looking at yourself in the mirror, another appearance, and you can’t help but feel a sense of closeness in your heart.”

“Master Qing, what exactly is going on here?”

When Xiao Qing heard the young girl’s affirmative answer, a look of disbelief also erupted from her eyes.

“Could it be that ……”

……

Xu Bai was unaware of the things that had happened across this wall since.

At the moment, his mind was completely immersed in his epiphany of the Red Rope Sword Intent.

As his comprehension grew deeper and deeper, the red rope that had suppressed the black flesh seemed to have come to life. It gently floated to Xu Bai’s side, intimately encircling him.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Bai suddenly opened his eyes and flicked his fingers.

An invisible red light flashed from between his hands, and then flew out towards the twisted flesh in front of him.

The wailing sounds that constantly echoed in the temple were silenced in an instant.

Though a moment later, it immediately returned.

However, such a strange situation still caused the gauze-skirted woman waiting behind Xu Bai to be horrified beyond measure.

“My lord ……,” she couldn’t help but raise her voice to inquire.

Xu Bai, however, reached out to stop her question, only looking at the trace of blood on his wrist that had appeared at some point.

With the physique of a New Dharma YuanYing cultivator, even if it was an injury from a sword slash, it could be recovered in a matter of moments.

But this slight blood mark, however, was as if it was innate and could not be dispersed.

“Is there actually such a serious side effect.” Xu Bai couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“It seems that Xu Ke’s disappearance back then might also be related to his repeated use of the Red Rope Sword Technique.”

“Although the wooden sword contains the world’s sword theory, it cannot attack first.”

“Although the rope sword is unrivaled in its killing intent, it requires itself to resist death.”

The light in Xu Bai’s eyes flickered, “Do they all have certain restrictions. Interesting ……”

Next, Xu Bai walked through the remaining eight temples in turn.

In addition to having a deeper understanding of the Red Rope Sword Technique, he had also seen the three heads of the Red Nine Heads that had died in peace with his own eyes.

The hair, flesh, and blood, as well as the eyeballs of one of the heads had been gouged out by the Imperials. Only the speckled white skull remained.

The remaining two, however, were still vivid. As if they had just died.

Even before they got close, they could feel the boundless fury and resentment coming from them.

“What a sinful animal!”

This was also the first time Xu Bai had seen a true ancient ferocious beast, and he couldn’t help but feel a dark aura in his heart.

“A thousand years after its death, its ferocity is leisurely. I really don’t know how ferocious it would have been in its heyday in life. And to be able to decapitate it with just a red rope, Mr. Bai ……”

Xu Bai’s mind floated.

After ending his visit, Xu Bai returned to the high tower palace.

Looking at the woman sitting beside Xiao Qing with a veiled face, Xu Bai couldn’t help but develop a marvelous sensation in his heart.

He tried raising his right hand.

Something that made him somewhat surprised happened.

The veiled woman on the opposite side of the room, surprisingly, also coincidentally, raised her right hand.

There was no agreement, yet it was almost perfectly synchronized.

It was as if a mirror existed between the two.

Aside from some differences in appearance, the veiled woman was almost like herself.

“Sacred Blood Fetalization Technique.” Xu Bai already knew, in a flash, the reason for this phenomenon.

At the same time, he also knew the identity of the veiled woman in front of him. Imperial Daughter.

Xu Ke’s descendant, the nominal ruler of the empire.

But he obviously couldn’t show it.

Pretending to be surprised, he stood up violently, pointed at the Imperial Daughter, and lost his voice, “What’s going on here?”

Xiao Qing carefully observed every bit of Xu Bai’s demeanor, trying to find some cracks in it. But to her disappointment.

Xu Bai’s behavior was almost identical to that of the Imperial Maiden.

“It seems like he doesn’t know anything about his true identity either.” Xiao Qing said darkly.

“What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?” Still, she decided to test the waters a bit more, knowing the advisor.

Xu Bai seemed to have slowed down a bit from his initial shock at the moment as he stared at the Imperial Maiden, a strong look of doubt in his eyes.

“This one is? Although this is the first time I’ve met her, I always feel very close and familiar with her.”

“It’s not an illusion. I also have this feeling.” The Imperial Maiden responded softly.

Xu Bai seemed even more shaken up this time.

Turning back to look at Xiao Qing, “Fellow Daoist, what exactly is going on here?”

Little Qing locked eyes with him for a long time before speaking out. Instead of answering, he asked in return, “Fellow Daoist Xu, how much do you know about your own birth?”

“Body life?” Xu Bai froze.

“I’m nothing more than an ordinary mortal, originally living in a small world. Later on, I joined the Ten Thousand Worlds Federation by chance, and only then did I embark on the path of immortality. The bloodline’s closest relatives have long since become ancient ……”

“What, what’s wrong with my life?” Xu Bai asked.

Xiao Qing looked at Xu Bai’s eyes as if she wanted to discern the truth in his words.

After a long silence, he finally gave up.

And then Xiao Qing took out a portrait of a character that was almost exactly the same as Xu Bai.

“This is ……” Xu Bai continued to play dumb.

“This is the empire builder and my master.” Xiao Qing said in a ghostly tone, “His name is Xu Ke.”

“Many years ago, he bid farewell to the crowd. Since then, he has been nowhere to be found.”

Xu Bai stared at the portrait as if he was shocked by this weighty piece of information and froze on the spot.

It was only after a long time that he slowly spoke out, “His surname is also Xu. Could it be that I might also be Xu Ke’s descendant?”

“For now, it seems that this is the only reasonable explanation.” Xiao Qing’s tone was also somewhat uncertain.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, what small world is your homeworld, exactly? From what I know of my master, it doesn’t seem like he would take a wife and have children ……,” Little Qing asked inexplicably.

“My hometown is in ……” Xu Bai said, suddenly stopping.

Back to God, he evil first. Looking at Xiao Qing and the Imperial Maiden, he was filled with skepticism, “Fellow Daoist Qing, are you playing me as a child? How could it be so coincidental?”

“Say it, what exactly is your purpose.” Xu Bai coldly looked at Xiao Qing.

Faced with Xu Bai’s sudden change in attitude, Xiao Qing couldn’t help but be stunned all of a sudden.

And then let out a bitter smile, “I actually find it hard to believe as well. But everything is just so coincidental. It’s like fate, allowing me to meet you thousands of years later, when I had long since given up.”

“As for whether or not what I said is true, there is a way to know once you test it.”

After Xiao Qing finished speaking, she gave a wink to the Imperial Maiden.

The Empress took out a scepter and tapped the ground.

And then a hole suddenly appeared in the floor, and the three of them were instantly engulfed by it.

Xu Bai didn’t resist, and immediately afterward, he arrived in a huge space with no end in sight.

Rows upon rows of this place were filled with the corpses of different alien beasts.

Farther away, there also seemed to be all sorts of mechanical devices laid out.

Xu Bai wanted to move forward, but he realized that there was an invisible barrier that blocked the way.

“This is the Imperial Treasure Trove, which houses the wealth that the Empire has accumulated over thousands of years.”
