Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird
Chapter 406: The sins of the past bring disaster to the future
"Yang, is it really okay for you to do this?"
"What's wrong?"
"Aren't we friends? How can you pass the rope to an outsider?"
"When did we become friends?"
"Yang, I'll be sad if you say that."
"Be sad while there's still time."
Xiao took over control of the body and skillfully took out medicine from the storage bracelet. While treating the wound on his shoulder, he listened to Bai Jie and Yang Ce talking to each other.
He had just finished bandaging the wound and when he looked up, he saw a small porcelain bottle being thrown towards him.
Xiao raised his hand to catch it. As soon as he pulled out the cork, a medicinal fragrance wafted out from inside. He leaned over to the bottle mouth and saw that it contained several red pills.
Yang Ce's voice sounded at the right time, explaining, "It contains a high-level healing pill that can give a dying person a second chance. Take one pill and the injury on your shoulder will heal immediately. I'll give you this whole bottle as a reward for helping me catch him."
elf:……
Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had the healing pill? The wound would have scabbed over soon.
Xiao didn't eat it, but put it into his storage bracelet. He turned to look at Bai Jie, who was winking at Yang Ce, and asked, "How does he deal with it?"
"Good question. This is the first time I caught him, and I want to know too." Yang Ce said,
"I want to kill him, but he has so many life-saving methods at his disposal that I can't think of any way to deal with them. Killing them one by one is time-consuming and laborious. If I had some free time and effort, it wouldn't be a problem, but now..."
Xiao thought about the previous battle, where Red Star directly plucked the enemy's head, and Red Xiao also directly plucked the enemy's heart. He guessed that such direct methods might be able to bypass the judgment of the life-saving magic weapon, so he proposed:
"Strangle to death?"
"This attack method can indeed render some life-saving magic weapons ineffective, but... Xiao, look over there."
Yang Ce pointed to the ground not far away where there were traces of burnt flames. That was where Chi Xing killed the handsome man. Now there was only a charred doll left there.
"See that puppet?"
Yang Ce explained, "That's a death substitute puppet. As long as the owner suffers a fatal injury, it will activate, swapping the owner with the puppet, and letting the puppet bear the fatal attack. No matter what means of attack are used, as long as the 'fatal' condition is met, the death substitute puppet will activate."
Xiao frowned upon hearing this: "So he's not dead?"
"That's right. But there are only a few people like Bai Jie in the world. Your background is a mystery, and it has severely damaged his vitality. He will not make any move against you again."
"Hey, I'm not dead yet. I can hear you talking bad about me behind my back." Bai Jie interrupted.
Yang Ce sneered and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Is this considered bad?"
Afterwards, he looked at Xiao again: "Although he doesn't dare to make any move against you again, he has seen you after all."
"you mean?"
"The aura you exude before the battle begins."
"..."
"Sorry, I can't tell you the details."
"why?"
"I'm afraid you'll kill me to silence me." Bai Jie, the master of sabotage, was sabotaging online without any awareness of being a prisoner. Then, Yang Ce sealed his mouth with something.
When Xiao heard Bai Jie say "kill to silence the witness", he roughly guessed the reason.
The exposure of his identity as a "ferocious beast" would likely put him in danger, so he killed the five people from the Baixiang Sect who had just robbed him with the intention of silencing them.
Xiao has heard many theories about the origin of the danger.
Some people think that vicious beasts are a great terror to the world, and their appearance will bring about drastic changes to heaven and earth, so everyone has the right to kill them;
Some people dislike the fact that ferocious beasts can break the rules;
Also, because of the uniqueness of the ferocious beast, some people will want to study it.
He was a little curious about what Yang Ce would say.
So he said, "I will not kill you."
"Words are not enough." Yang Ce obviously did not believe him and said, "Unless there is a contract to prove it."
Xiao readily agreed.
The contract was not written in black and white as in traditional Chinese, but a piece of paper appeared out of thin air after Yang Ce read a bunch of words that Xiao could not understand.
Xiao read the above terms and then signed them.
At the moment when the contract turned into golden light and dissipated, he suddenly felt a sense of being watched, as if someone was secretly staring at him.
His intuition told him that if he failed to fulfill the contract, he would suffer divine punishment as stated in the terms.
Could this be the kind of contract that Ling Xiao mentioned, one with a very strong binding effect?
On the other side, seeing the contract begin to take effect, Yang Ce also breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly said, "The aura you exuded earlier belonged to a fierce beast. The book says that fierce beasts have the potential to escape the shackles of heaven and earth. They are disliked by heaven and earth, and naturally, all living beings under the rule of heaven and earth do not welcome fierce beasts."
"Hmm." Xiao nodded slightly. He had heard this statement before. "What do you think?"
"I'm more realistic. I don't care about things I haven't encountered. The last beast to appear in the world did many things, right and wrong, and things that are difficult to judge. It offended many people, even gods, but it was only the last one.
However, many people hold the opposite view, so I can understand you killing to protect yourself, but I can't be so saintly as to give up my own life just to keep your secret."
Xiao understood that this was the result of the sins committed by the previous generation, and that the later generations would suffer the consequences.
He then asked, "So, who are my potential enemies?"
Yang Ce said: "That's a lot, first of all the entire fairy world."
Hearing this, Xiao's mouth twitched.
The world situation is roughly divided into the mortal world ruled by the Human Emperor and the fairy world managed by the major sects. This predecessor almost offended half of the world as soon as he opened his mouth. It was very terrifying.
"Judging from your reaction, you shouldn't be from the Immortal Realm, right?" Yang Ce continued.
“That was the first battle record of the previous ferocious beast, and almost everyone in the immortal world has heard of it.
The top sect at that time, Mingxin Pavilion, summoned a group of powerful people to fight against the ferocious beast, hoping to kill it before it could rise completely - this was what they advertised to the outside world at the time.
At the end of this battle, the ferocious beast was severely injured and fled to the ancient wilderness, while the expedition team was almost wiped out, and those who survived by chance became crazy.
There was a survivor from the Yufeng Sect near Xuanchi Mansion, who was said to be a genius of his generation. The masters within the sect did their utmost to rescue him, and it seems he was saved in the end. I don't know any disciples of the Yufeng Sect, so I'm not sure about the final outcome.
Xiao lamented the power of the previous ferocious beast. In comparison, his own performance was a bit embarrassing for the ferocious beast. He was injured after just fighting one against five.
Red Xiao: "You are the one who lost face, not me."
Xiao: "Yes, yes, I'm no good."
Red Xiao: "...Tsk, it's barely acceptable."
After several seconds, Xiao suddenly realized what he had heard and asked hurriedly, "Is the Imperial Phoenix Gate near the Xuanchi Mansion?"
Yang Ce replied, "Yes, there is a stone forest to the north of Xuan Chi Mansion, and the Imperial Phoenix Gate is deep in this stone forest. Do you want to go and see it with your own eyes?"
Don't expect any local guides to show you the way. The sect's headquarters isn't a tourist attraction, and usually, they'll set up a maze around the perimeter to prevent mortals from straying in.
Although Yang Ce said a lot, Xiao only heard the first sentence.
Yufeng Gate was near the next stop, so he could visit his friend on the way to verify whether what Ye Lingchuan said was true.
