C555 Retreat as a Way Forward

Although he had escaped from the palace, Lin Bai still felt a lingering fear. The power of the aura just now was just too great. Even when he faced it, he still felt powerless to resist it.

"Youngest junior brother, what happened on your back?" Just as Lin Bai was gasping for breath, Zhang Sanming, who was standing right behind him, pointed at Lin Bai's back as he asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai felt a scorching pain on his back. Feeling bewildered, he reached out his hand to touch his back. However, he was shocked to discover that his hands were covered in black embers and sticky blood. It was as if someone had corroded his back with strong acid. It was extremely terrifying.

Now that he thought about it, it should have been the wound left by the black shadow. He had escaped too quickly from the palace just now, so only now did he feel the stinging pain from the wound. Thinking of this point, the shock and bewilderment in Lin Bai's heart intensified. Just what was that black shadow? How could such a simple encounter actually injure him to such an extent?!

At the same time, Yi Feng's palace became as chaotic as a pot of porridge. Countless guards rushed over from all directions in the direction of the small building. Since the establishment of the palace, no one had ever been able to enter the deepest part of the palace without anyone noticing. This was a big blow to them!

"Did you guys see who it was?" An Beijingping frowned as he stood on the balcony of the small building. He looked at the guards who were constantly patrolling the area, then asked the three officials who were following closely behind him and Yu Shan Yue Ye.

The three officials shook their heads when they heard this. The situation had happened too quickly just now. They could only see the figures of the two black figures, but had no time to clearly see their appearances.

Yushan Yue Ye was silent for a moment after hearing what was said. She glanced at the two figures that had fled far away and said solemnly, "I can clearly see the appearance of one of them. He might be one of Yi He's people!"

"Tell those people inside the Divine Palace and the third county magistrate to investigate everything thoroughly. If that person is injured by the sacred object, he probably won't be able to get far!" An Beiping said slowly after he heard this. He stared at Yushan Yue Ye for a long time.

Although the night was still dark, a faint ray of light had already appeared at the end of the sky. It was estimated that soon, the sun would leap up from the sea and start casting a blazing light at all things in the world.

"Youngest junior brother, are you still able to hold on?" He wanted to quicken his pace to bring Lin Bai back to his living quarters, but he was afraid that if he moved too quickly, the scab on Lin Bai's wounds would start to crack.

With a smile on his face, Lin Bai lightly shook his head and said, "It's just a small injury, there's no need to make such a big fuss about it! "Senior Brother, you also saw the face of that great god official called An Be-chiping. Is he the one who had enmity with Master?"

"Master did indeed say 'Abeniping' in the memorial scripture he gave me. It's a pity that we couldn't succeed this time. We can't avenge Master!" But Junior Brother, can you feel what exactly that black shadow is? How come Master's notes never mentioned that? " Zhang Sanmeng replied.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I don't see it either, but I'm sure it's something out of the beast race." Senior Brother, tell me the truth, exactly what kind of enmity does Master have with that Abe Jiping? Why have I never heard Master talk about this before, could it be that you are trying to solve your own problem by holding onto Master's banner? "

"You brat, are you saying that senior brother is that kind of person?" Hearing this, Zhang SanKuang was stunned, then said seriously: "According to Master, he had spent some time with a witch from Yi's Divine Palace, but that period of time was too turbulent, and both sides have some complaints about this matter."

"But with Master's prestige in the martial arts world of China, it is not difficult to solve our problem!" However, that Witch still wanted to obtain the permission of Yi Zheng Divine Palace to resign her title of Witch. From then on, she had nothing more to do with her master! But who would have thought that when she came into contact with the person in charge of Yi's Divine Palace, An Baijiping, she never came back! "

"From then on, no matter what methods Master used to calculate, he was unable to deduce any information about that witch. At the level of Master, there was only one possibility for him to not figure out the information of others, and that was that this person was no longer in the world! This is why Master and An Beiping had such a feud. However, after the war ended and the situation changed, he had no chance to take revenge! "

"There's actually such a thing, senior brother, you should have told me about it earlier. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have shown mercy to Fu Sang's Yin Yang masters during the International Phase Art Competition and directly beheaded them all. It can be considered as master's wish all those years ago!" Lin Bai was stunned by these words. He then sighed and said, "I didn't think that Master would have such a story about the beginning of a new moon!"

"Master's expectations for you have always been high, so he didn't want your cultivation to be affected. I think that's why he only told me about the old case and didn't say a word to you. " Zhang Sanmeng sighed and looked at Lin Bai with a serious expression, "Senior Brother, we will definitely settle this grudge for Master one day!"

Lin Bai nodded his head, not saying anything more. The latter half of Li Tian Yuan's life ended in desolation. He thought it was because Li Tian Yuan didn't want to implicate the backlash of his Heavenly Dao on others, but he didn't think that there would be such an old case. If it weren't for the fact that Mr Abe had obstructed him, his master would have spent the rest of his life in peace and happiness.

After the sun had risen, Lin Bai and Zhang SanKuang finally returned to the inn where they were staying. After entering the room, Chen Baian and Shen Lingfeng stared at them gloomily. Chen Baian stared at Lin Bai and scolded him harshly, "I told you to be careful, what do you two think? Can't wait for even a day or two?"

"Old gramps, don't be angry here, we both came back with nothing to show for it!" We have to be in a hurry. The later we make our move, the tighter the security of the palace will be. This is a good opportunity to investigate before the information that we gathered from Seoul is leaked out! " Lin Bai grinned mischievously at Chen Baian. However, the pain and pain on his back made his smile even more forced.

Chen Baian was about to reprimand Lin Bai again, but he was surprised to find that his face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He walked over to Lin Bai and asked, "Lin Bai, what's wrong?" Is he injured? "

"It's just a bit of skin. It's nothing serious, so you don't have to worry about it!" As he spoke, Lin Bai clenched his teeth, undid the buttons on the clothes in front of him, and took off the shirt covering the upper half of his body.

Chen Baian frowned as he looked at Lin Bai's back. He saw Lin Bai's back was covered in black fibers that looked like they had been burned by a shirt. They were red and black and looked extremely terrifying, but it was fortunate that this boy had a strong body. If it was anyone else, he would have fainted long ago.

"You are not the Second Master Guan. You do not have that much endurance! "Hurry up and come with me to the hospital to treat your wounds. If you get an infection, it'll be a fatal one!" Chen Baian said with a heavy expression as he grabbed Lin Bai's arm.

Lin Bai shook his head when he heard this. He gritted his teeth as he tore off his shirt, which was already adhered to his flesh and blood, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the people in Yi's Divine Palace already know that I was heavily injured. If I go to the hospital now, it'll be telling them that we did it, so they definitely can't go to the hospital! I'll take care of it myself later! "

Chen Baian hesitated for a moment before finally releasing his grip on Lin Bai. He sighed and said, "Deal with it as soon as possible. If you feel that something is amiss, inform us as soon as possible. Even if you run the risk of being discovered by them, it should not be able to cause you any mishap."

"Elder Chen, you can rest assured. My body is strong and strong. This small injury is nothing to me!" Lin Bai chuckled, then turned around and walked into the bathroom. He opened up the shower and rushed at his back, causing large amounts of blood, mixed with large pieces of black liquid, to flow onto the bathroom floor.

After being washed by the hot water, the wound on Lin Bai's back finally revealed its true form. It looked like a huge water droplet, bright red in color, and there were even some bones in the deepest part of the body. Looking at the wound, Lin Bai could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. What exactly was that thing inside Yi's Divine Palace, how could it have such a great power?!

When he walked out of the bathroom, Zhang Sanming had already told Chen Baian about what happened last night, as well as the plans of the people in the palace, as well as Shen Lingfeng and Shen Jingbin. Upon seeing Lin Bai coming out from the bathroom, the crowd of people looked at him eagerly. They wanted to hear what he had in mind!

"Brother Shen, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to run some errands later. Go to the Yi Yuan Divine Palace, find An Baoran and tell him that we want to trade our eight mirrors for him!" After Lin Bai changed into a clean set of clothes, he said in a deep voice.

Shen Lingfeng was stunned when he heard that, and he said, "Didn't they want to use that Feathered Mountain Ye to pretend to be Liao Yun and make use of that to make a move on us? If we bring out the Eight Mirrors to exchange for a fake one, wouldn't that be perfect for that group of people? "

"No, it's just a stalemate. I can't be at ease with Man Yun staying in the hands of Fu Sang's men. Yushan Yue Ye has always been imitating Man Yun's demeanor and thought that she would know the true whereabouts of Man Yun. It would be better to open an opening for her!"
