Chapter 775: Crisis Si Yung Zhen
Chapter 770 – Crisis Si Returns the Truth
After a few words, Xu Bai hung up his communication.
His face was immediately gloomy.
“Hundreds of secrets are not enough, and after all, I’ve revealed a crack.”
“This Liu San usually looks old and unorthodox, but I didn’t expect his mind to be so deep.”
That’s right, in this seemingly normal conversation with Liu San just now, Xu Bai had made a blunder.
That was that when Liu San had told him that a disciple had succeeded in building his foundation, he had been silent for a little while.
This silence was caused by his distrust of Liu San.
It was because he knew the difficulty of successfully building the foundation with me. Knowing that it was clearly impossible.
So he suspected that this could be some sort of trap, an excuse for Liu San to try and coax him back.
According to common sense, he would either be surprised or doubtful after hearing these words. He would immediately ask Liu San rhetorically if it was true or false.
However, he was silent.
Although, he could also find a million reasons to explain this silence.
But Xu Bai understood in his heart that it was already useless.
This was because Liu San did not say his words in a coherent manner, instead, he first said the first half of his sentence, deliberately waiting for Xu Bai’s reaction.
This in itself was a form of testing.
Liu San had gotten what he thought. He had already seen Xu Bai’s distrust of him from the short silence.
When masters fought, even if they were off by a hair, a loss was a loss.
“However, things haven’t collapsed to the point where it’s impossible to end. The [True Baiting Fruit] restriction isn’t that easy to break. Even though they have sensed that something is wrong and affirmed the suspicion in their hearts, they still can’t make an enemy of me.”
“In addition to the reason for rewriting their minds, more importantly, the Xuanhuang True Cauldron is still in my hands.”
“With the many Pill King Sect cultivators sleeping inside the tripod as hostages, they would never dare to make a move.”
“Let’s leave them alone for now, and wait until the end ……” Xu Bai’s eyes flashed with a hint of hostility.
The Pill King Sect and others, and Xu Bai’s relationship, so in a weird state of equilibrium.
Xu Bai only communicated with them remotely through communication spirit talismans.
As for Liu San and the others, everything remained the same. They didn’t seem to notice anything unusual at all.
During this time, Xu Bai took the time to return to the empire.
When he flew to the capital city, Xu Bai could faintly smell the bloody atmosphere in the air.
Apparently, a great purge had only just ended a short while ago.
Xu Bai revealed his form, and soon Xiao Qing came to greet him.
Inside the high tower palace, Xu Bai once again met the Imperial Maiden and Little Red.
Xu Bai was a little surprised to find that in a short period of time, the emperor’s daughter had changed from the appearance of a young maiden to that of a rich and beautiful woman.
And look at Xu Bai’s eyes, less a few silk timid, more a few points of confidence.
“It seems that your empire, there are still some crushing techniques that have not been accounted for.” Xu Bai said indifferently.
The Imperial Maiden laughed softly, her plump body trembling slightly, “The empire has endured for millennia, and has never pressed the path of survival into just one boat.”
“You should be able to understand that as well, right?”
Saying so, her deep, bright eyes gazed firmly at Xu Bai.
A few moments of chutzpah and a few moments of naked temptation flowed from her eyes.
Xu Bai, on the other hand, had eyes as clear as a lake, with no ripples. Turning to her, he revealed a bright and incomparable innocent smile.
The Imperial Maiden’s disguise was broken all of a sudden, and a trace of panic and blush surfaced on her face. “I’ve made you, fellow Daoist, laugh.” At this time, Little Red slightly bent over and blocked in front of the empress daughter.
The Imperial Maiden took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a long time before returning to normal.
Without blaming and ridiculing the other party for her self-imposed seduction, Xu Bai instead asked with interest, “If I’m not mistaken, Empress Dowager, she’s pregnant?”
The three present were all a little embarrassed when they heard this.
Xiao Qing lightly waved her hand, laying down a layer of boundary around her before quietly explaining, “After you left, Dao Friend, we listened to your advice and cleansed the imperial nobles. Anyone whose will was not unified with ours was captured.”
“Of course, the empire has existed for thousands of years. The strength that these imperial nobles have accumulated cannot be underestimated.”
“Before we acted, we had already considered the consequences of a possible failure. In order not to cause the empire’s bloodline to be severed, that’s why the imperial daughter, she cast the Sacred Blood Transformation Foetus Technique early on.”
Xiao Qing glanced at the Imperial Daughter before continuing, “In fact, the Sacred Blood Fetal Transformation Technique that was passed down by the master in the beginning has also improved to a great extent after the continuous research of the Imperial Royal Family over the years.”
“It is possible to use external forces to complete the catalyzing of birth under conditions that are not met even by oneself.”
“The young fetus born under such circumstances is not so much the next generation. It’s more appropriate to say it’s some sort of doppelganger.”
“Only, there are drawbacks as well. The doppelganger cannot inherit cultivation, it’s just a mere physical body.”
Little Green only said this and avoided answering.
Xu Bai, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and looked puzzled.
For the time being, he didn’t pursue the matter, but instead announced that the audit had passed in front of Xiao Qing’s several people.
After several Elders had reviewed the matter, they agreed that the various technologies displayed by the Empire were worthy of investment by the Ten Thousand Realms Federation.
The Empire would also become one of the few small worlds under the blessing of the Federation.
With that, Xu Bai took out three Terminal Discs from his storage ring.
He also explained to them the formation that could magnify the effects of the Terminal Discs and cover the entrance to the small world.
Of the three, the Imperial Maiden listened in confusion.
Little Green and Little Red, on the other hand, were beaming with joy.
Solemnly and incomparably, they put away the Terminal Disc, and then under their eyes, the Imperial Maiden handed over a storage ring.
On the storage ring, a pattern of a Heavenly Destiny Xuanbird was carved. The aura was somewhat ancient, and at a glance, it was some years old.
It was precisely very similar to Xu Ke’s spirit pet, Little Black.
“Those few things we displayed earlier, they’re all in here.”
Little Green and Little Red looked at the storage ring, their eyes flashing with a hint of nostalgia.
“This was still left behind by the master back then, and has never been used. Today it was used to trade for the future of the empire, I think he won’t blame us even if he knows about it.” Xiao Qing said with some sighs.
Xu Bai only scanned through it, seeing that many information including the “All Beasts Melt into One” were placed in it, and didn’t directly go to verify its authenticity.
Afterward, he first put the ring away, and once again looked at Xiao Qing and the others.
Noticing that Xu Bai still had something to say, Xiao Qing and the others cast inquiring gazes.
“The deal between the Empire and the Ten Thousand Realms Federation was reached.”
“Next, I, privately, have another deal with all of you. I don’t know if you guys are willing to do so?”
Xiao Qing’s face was a bit grave, “Fellow Daoist, please speak.”
“I’m interested in the improved Sacred Blood Fetalization Method.” Xu Bai said indifferently.
Xiao Qing’s face changed slightly, and he was about to refuse.
However, Xu Bai’s next words caused the three of them to no longer be able to maintain their composure.
