Chapter 325: Strange Events of the Bai Family

~10 min read 1,932 words

On the broken earth, the fishy wind whistled, the shrill cries of evil seeds rose one after another, and there were noisy sounds everywhere.

But on the only half of the city wall that had not collapsed on the east side of Linyuan City, following Ji You's sudden inquiry, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

A few breaths later, Long Xiandi was obviously somewhat flustered and opened his mouth: "I don't have any secrets, what is Ji brother referring to?"

"I am asking you, why are you asking me?"

"Because I don't know what secret Ji brother is asking about, Dao companions, or my blind date object..."

Ji You saw the probing in Bai Rulong's eyes and knew he was testing the wind, so he opened his mouth lightly: "I am referring to why you lied to me when you were clearly locked in, not hiding."

As the words fell, Bai Rulong's eyes instantly trembled.

However, the next moment, he still denied it in a panic: "I don't know what Ji brother is talking about, but I hid in by myself."

Ji You said "Oh": "How do you explain the pots and pans in the corner of the wall?"

"What pots and pans...?"

"There are still some leftovers in the pots and pans in that secret room, which are already not fresh. This shows that you stayed inside for more than one day, but several days, but the problem is that the corpse tide clearly broke out today. Could it be that you knew in advance and hid in advance?"

Bai Rulong was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and suddenly did not know how to respond.

Ji You indeed noticed the pots and pans in the corner of the wall when he walked into the secret room, and at that time, he already suspected that Bai Rulong was lying to him.

Cultivators can abstain from eating; with Bai Rulong's cultivation, persisting for three to five days is not a problem.

The evil seeds didn't come, so he had no reason to hide in the underground in advance.

If he hid today, he shouldn't have had so many leftovers.

Ji You repeatedly deliberated and determined these questions, and only now did he suddenly ask him.

However, Bai Rulong's mouth was quite tight, and after being dumbfounded for a moment, he still insisted on his previous statement: "I hid in by myself; that is my own home, how could I be locked in..."

"I asked you why you were here after I went in, and you said it was because you were afraid that you hid in?"

"So many evil seeds, of course I am afraid..."

"No, do you remember that after you came up, you asked me subconsciously why there were so many evil seeds."

Ji You turned his head to look at him: "I suspect you didn't know the corpse tide was coming at all, so whether you were locked in or hid in advance, it is reasonable, because what you were afraid of was fundamentally not the evil seeds, but you also said it yourself, that is your home, what exactly are you afraid of in your own home?"

The simple question was asked, and Bai Rulong fell into silence again.

Leftovers are real; if he insists on saying he hid in, he has to explain why he was so early.

If he admits he was locked in, he must have seen the Bai family leave.

And according to Ji You's deduction, if Bai Rulong was really locked in, he must have known what his father was going to do, perhaps because he resisted, he was locked in the underground.

If he hid, the things he was afraid of were even more worth investigating.

In short, no matter what, Bai Rulong, as the Bai family's eldest legitimate son, especially the only bloodline after his younger brother Bai Shihu died, must know things that others don't know.

Ji You put his gaze in the distance: "I didn't ask below, actually, it was to bring you over to see these things first, because there is an old saying in Azure Cloud that standing high and looking far, I want you to see what this world has been harmed into by them."

Bai Rulong could not help but purse his lips, but did not refute as before, but became silent.

Because he knew that the time really didn't match.

So whether it was hiding or being locked in, it looked full of holes.

Just at this time, Ji You reached into his bosom and took out a letter and handed it to him.

Bai Rulong's expression immediately became somewhat confused, but he still reached out to take it, and after thinking for a moment, he shook it open in the fishy wind.

"Long Xiandi, have you been well recently? I passed by Linyuan City today and thought that you and I haven't seen each other for many days, and I miss you very much."

"It just so happens that I have been traveling in the rivers and lakes for half a year and have met two girls with plump and round buttocks. Is Long brother interested in coming out for a chat?"

After reading it, Bai Rulong raised his head: "Are you specifically leading me out to see you?"

"Not bad, because before I saw you, I had already found that your Bai family had problems; your family has a great relationship with the appearance of evil corpses over the years, and even, I am now somewhat suspicious that everything we are currently facing was also caused by your family."

As the words fell, Bai Rulong pursed his lips, but at almost the same moment, Ji You heard a sharp roar ringing in front of him.

Not far away, the evil seeds that had smelled the human aura from the wind were rushing toward them one after another.

Looking down from high, it was like a wave with consciousness surging, wanting to drown them.

Ji You's face changed instantly, and the long sword in his hand made a clear long sound.

Long Xiandi was in a daze, and instantly felt his neck being grabbed, and two figures whistled north in the direction parallel to the front of the corpse tide.

The rope tied between the two waists did not break and was still pulling between them.

During the running process, as the corpse tide gathered constantly, the two still attracted and slashed as they had at the beginning.

It was just that during this process, neither of them spoke another word.

Ji You could actually understand Bai Rulong's curled-up mentality.

The Bai family was his family after all; although his father had always openly favored the younger brother because of the second mother and was not good to him, no matter what, that was his father after all.

In the inheritance mode of the Azure Cloud World, countless family disciples grew up looking at their father's tall figure.

So for the current Long Xiandi, saying what he knew would give him a strong sense of betrayal.

But this also showed that what he knew was indeed very fatal.

From south to north, Ji You and Bai Rulong kept galloping, breaking through three small-scale corpse tides, and during the process, they also encountered a group of Immortal Sect walkers who were also taking refuge.

There were Spirit Sword Mountain's, Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's, and some Chen family disciples, about thirty or forty people.

These Immortal Sect walkers had extremely strong ability to judge the situation, and after seeing that magnificent sword energy directly tear a huge gap from the corpse tide, they decisively decided to follow them.

So in just over ten miles, Ji You had already been hitched several times.

This has to be paid for...

High in the sky, Ji You, who was killing a bloody path in the corpse tide with Xiao Chongshan, could not help but mutter.

But now the killing intent was everywhere, it was not suitable to collect money, so he planned to let them take out their family assets after returning to Shengjing.

He didn't know if these people from Spirit Sword Mountain were from Profound Jianfeng or Heavenly Jianfeng; if they were from Profound Jianfeng, he would be friendly and give a 50% discount, as for the Chen family and Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, they would all be at the original price...

At dusk, the brilliant fire clouds were magnificent, but the corpse tide below was even better.

Fleeing and attacking all the way, Ji You and others crossed another large-scale corpse tide and finally arrived in a mountain area.

The evil seeds are driven by people and attack various places with a purpose, so the remote places did not have so many evil seeds causing trouble, which is suitable for resting and adjusting breath in a secret corner.

Huhu—

Huhu—

As the night gradually surged and the world fell into darkness, Bai Rulong sat on the top of a low mountain, his breathing gradually becoming even.

The main purpose of the evil seeds is to attack families, which is true, but their behavior is all dominated by the human aura they can smell along the way, so some villages close to the city were affected.

At this moment, just in the village in a band in front of his sight, several villages had been destroyed by evil seeds, broken limbs and bones were everywhere, so that the small river passing through these villages was dyed pink.

Those blood waters kept flowing along the river, and broken limbs occasionally appeared on the water surface floating downstream.

After staring blankly for a long time, Long Xiandi got up and walked toward the dense forest on the hillside.

Because there were evil seed tides raging on the earth in all directions, they did not dare to light a bonfire.

At this time, dozens of Immortal Sect walkers were sitting around the hillside of the low mountain, adjusting their breath, while Ji You was sitting quietly on the west side of the dense forest not far away.

Some things had been hidden for a long time; in fact, even he himself felt suffocated, having nightmares every day, and it was difficult to save himself.

So when Ji You asked him, besides tension and panic, he felt more of a kind of lightness.

He also knew that Ji You didn't ask again later, because he hoped he would see clearly and think clearly.

Hesitating for a long time, Bai Rulong gripped his sleeves tightly, then walked toward Ji You, and Ji You also seemed to have a feeling and looked up at him.

After looking at each other for a long time, Bai Rulong opened his mouth lightly.

"Do you remember when it was the Heavenly Dao Assembly, I returned home late, and after I came back, I said my younger brother Bai Shihu and second mother went missing."

"?"

Bai Rulong sat down slowly beside the dead tree stump: "Actually, Bai Shihu didn't go missing; he turned into a monster."

Ji You's eyes instantly became deep: "What exactly happened?"

"The matter has to start from more than two years ago."

Bai Rulong looked at the thick night sky overhead and spoke slowly.

On the eve of the Heavenly Dao Assembly more than two years ago, he went home to visit relatives and accidentally heard that Bai Shihu and second mother had gone missing.

But two living people couldn't just go missing like that, so he began to inquire and search. ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
