Chapter 110 The Last Resort at the Evil Gate

In the dark and deserted clearing in the woods, there was a heart-pounding heaviness, as if in the darkness, there were wild beasts with cold eyes, staring at people walking alone in the middle of the night.

Several members of the Tianjiansi had sweat on their foreheads. After notifying Shen Bai and others, they left quickly and rushed to the next location to continue notifying their colleagues who were guarding other places.

Shen Bai, Zhao San and others looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

This happens every year when the corpse-drivers from Fenglin State pass by, but it is the first time that something has happened.

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The order had been given. Everyone thought for a moment and without stopping, walked towards the dark woods ahead.

……

On an open space.

At this moment, members of Division C and Division D were guarding here.

The surrounding trees were cut down. In the center of the open space, a dozen corpse-drivers wearing khaki clothes were sitting on the ground with injuries all over their bodies.

Everyone's face was filled with relief at having survived a disaster, as well as a deep sense of exhaustion.

There were streaks of blood seeping out of the corpse driver's khaki clothes.

Hong Feng and Jian Taiwen were at the front, asking about the corpse driver's experience.

At this moment, Shen Bai and others also walked out of the woods, attracting everyone's attention.

Qin Shuang is a member of Unit C and also joined the mission this time. After seeing Shen Bai, he did not shout, but just waved and asked Shen Bai to come over.

Shen Bai walked closer and asked, "What happened?"

He only knew that the corpse-driving team was attacked, and only these few people escaped, and thousands of corpses had disappeared without a trace.

Are there still people stealing corpses these days?

That thing is not worth much.

Shen Bai couldn't figure it out.

Qin Shuang looked around and said, "They were attacked by people from the Shang'e Sect. It seems that they came here specifically for the corpses. I don't know what they're going to do with them."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "They are really a thorn in my side. I thought they had quieted down recently."

"But what do these guys want to do by snatching the corpse?"

Qin Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Lord Hong has been asking for a long time, but there are no clues. These guys deliberately ran out of Fenglin State and went there specifically to rob."

Shen Bai nodded and placed his hand on Han Yue's waist.

If he ran out of Maple Forest State, that would be unexpected.

While the two were communicating, Hong Feng seemed to have gotten the result and turned his attention to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai was confused.

He could see an intriguing look in Hong Feng's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that the Shang'e Clan's actions were directed at him again?

Just as I thought of this, there was movement from Hong Feng's side.

Hong Feng waved his hand and ordered everyone, "Everyone, retreat immediately. Shen Bai stays."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the martial arts world turned their eyes to Shen Bai, all with curiosity.

The various grievances between Shen Bai and Shang'emen started in Shengyun County.

By now, it is no longer a secret in the entire Maple Forest State.

Anyone with a little intelligence knows that Shen Bai and Shang'e Clan are in a situation of a fight to the death.

Now Hong Feng's words made everyone speculate that perhaps this trip of corpse-driving people had a lot to do with Shen Bai.

In the Tianjiansi, once an order is given, it must be carried out.

The four words "obey orders and prohibit them" are deeply rooted in everyone's mind.

As soon as Hong Feng finished speaking, even though everyone was curious, they still quietly retreated.

A moment later, the only people left in the entire open space were Shen Bai, Hong Feng, Jian Taiwen, and a group of corpse drivers.

Shen Bai took a few steps forward, his right hand resting on the cold moon on his waist, and asked, "Master Hong, does this matter have anything to do with me?"

In this situation, how could Shen Bai not see that Shang Emen was probably itching for trouble again and wanted to get beaten up.

Hong Feng nodded and pointed at one of the corpse drivers. He said, "He is the leader of this group of corpse drivers. His name is Xu Peng. Let him tell you in detail."

The leader of the corpse drivers who was being pointed at was already middle-aged, with white hair on his temples and a look of fatigue in his eyes.

Xu Peng bowed to Shen Bai and said, "Sir Shen, the corpse drivers were attacked by the evil gate. They suffered heavy losses and all the corpses were taken away. They only left a few words."

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "What?"

Xu Peng straightened his words and said, "Ten days from now, we will meet at Lantern Lake. Lord Shen must go alone. If you don't come, thousands of corpses will turn into strange things, and Maple Forest State will suffer heavy casualties."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai chuckled and said, "So that's how it is. They really have me as their target. But with such a big show, aren't they afraid that the Great Zhou Emperor will be furious and use all his strength to encircle and suppress us?"

Xu Peng didn't say anything. It was obvious that the topic Shen Bai was talking about at the moment had exceeded the limits of his cognition.

After all, he is a corpse driver.

But Xu Peng was also curious.

He had passed through Fenglin Province often before and knew about Shang'e Sect, but he had never heard of Shen Bai. He never expected that Shen Bai would be targeted by the entire Shang'e Sect.

Hong Feng pondered and said, "Perhaps the Shange Clan is facing a greater crisis, or perhaps this behavior can gain them greater benefits, so they choose to take the risk."

Shen Bai nodded, agreeing with Hong Feng's answer.

If there is no greater benefit, there is no need to take greater risks.

Shen Bai even knew that this benefit might still tempt him.

After all, the blame for this matter was all directed at him.

"If I don't die, they won't be able to gain greater benefits."

Shen Bai thought to himself: "It seems that it is time to put an end to this once and for all."

Seeing Shen Bai lost in thought, Hong Feng slowly asked, "Shen Bai, what do you think?"

Shen Bai turned around and asked, "What is the cultivation level of the leader of the Shang Evil Sect?"

Hong Feng thought for a moment and said, "According to our intelligence, this person is at the top level of the Five Organs Realm and should not be underestimated."

The five internal organs are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Each level is like a mountain that cannot be crossed.

The top level of the Five Internal Organs Realm can easily defeat those at a slightly lower level.

Shen Bai pondered and said, "Where is Lord Hong?"

Hong Feng was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Shen Bai to ask this out of the blue, but he still replied, "The Five Internal Organs Realm is a hurdle. Once you pass the Five Internal Organs Realm, you will completely shed your mortal body. Once you have perfected the Three Treasures and Five Internal Organs, you can no longer stay in the C Division. At least that's the case in the Tianjian Division of a state-level city."

"I am now also at the peak of the Five Organs Realm. I only need one step to enter the next realm and advance to Division B."

The second part of Fenglin State is a hurdle.

Everyone in Fenglin State dreams of going to Division B, but Division B has a strength division, which is that one must be above the Five Internal Organs Realm.

Shen Bai stroked the amber-white fur and said, "Master Hong, can you let them all leave, including Master Jian?"

Hong Feng didn't know what Shen Bai meant, but since Shang'emen was targeting Shen Bai, he just waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

A moment later, only Shen Bai and Hong Feng were left in the open space.

Hong Feng looked around and said, "There's no one here now. Shen Bai, if you have anything to say, just say it now. I will do my best to help you solve it if I can."

To be honest, Hong Feng really admires this specially recruited person.

Before coming, Hong Feng had checked Shen Bai's information and knew about Shen Bai's past.

When Hong Feng was young, he was also a rebellious person. If he had not been frightened by Liu Wufeng, he would probably still be taking revenge in the martial arts world.

People like him who have risen from the bottom of the society look down on the powerful geniuses in Fenglin State the most, thinking that these people are just a bunch of flowers in a greenhouse.

But Hong Feng has a different opinion about Shen Bai.

As they both came from the bottom, Shen Bai's past experience was deeply admired by Hong Feng.

So when encountering this problem today, Hong Feng also wanted to solve it for Shen Bai, but there seems to be no solution at the moment.

The other party specifically mentioned Shen Bai's name and wanted him to go there in person, and he was holding thousands of corpses.

Of course, if Shen Bai is unwilling, the Tianjiansi will also take other methods, but they may not be the best methods.

After hearing Hong Feng's words, Shen Bai did not speak, but slowly pulled out the Hanyue from his waist and held it in his hand: "Amber, go play over there."

Hong Feng was slightly stunned, not understanding what Shen Bai meant by this action, and subconsciously asked: "Why is this?"

Shen Bai looked at Hong Feng and said calmly, "Shen never does anything without confidence. Since Lord Hong also has the strength of the peak of the Five Organs Realm and is similar to the Sect Master, why not try it first to see if Shen has the ability to move forward alone."

Hong Feng heard this and showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "That's good. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."

He understood what Shen Bai meant. If he could pass this level, Shen Bai would have the ability to act alone.

After saying that, Hong Feng clenched his fists into claws.

The next moment, thunder, lightning and strong winds continued to swirl above Hong Feng's claws.

Hong Feng showed a serious look: "My Wind and Thunder Claw is famous for its fierce wind and lightning. This time I will not hold back. Since you will face the evil gate alone, I will consider it seriously."

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body. The blood-red sword energy was like a blood moon.

The Buddha light in the left hand is as bright as the sun.

His whole body was covered in white light like jade.

Dao Wen and Shadow go hand in hand.

Surrounded by all kinds of horrors, Shen Bai looked like a devil descended to the world.

"Master Hong, I will only use one punch and one sword with all my strength. Master Hong, please be careful." Shen Bai said lightly.

Hong Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm the leader of Division C, I can take it."

In his opinion, even though Shen Bai was a young talent, he had only just entered the five internal organs, so there would be no problem next.

Shen Bai stopped talking, swung his sword, and swung his left fist as well.

The sword energy is like a blood moon, and the fist energy is like the scorching sun.

The scorching sun and the blood moon coexist in the interplay of light, creating a scene of the end of the world.

Hong Feng widened his eyes, a chill ran through his body, and a sense of life and death crisis burst out in his heart.

"how is this possible?"

"boom!"

The roar echoed through the dense forest...

……

In the distance, on an open space, people were resting.

Qin Shuang looked at where Shen Bai was, a trace of worry in his heart: "I don't know how to deal with Shen Bai this time. The evil sect seems to be determined to make Shen Bai fall into eternal damnation."

Jian Taiwen was having the Ding army's men do the guard work. After hearing this, he said, "Shen Bai rose from the bottom. These kinds of things should be common for him. Don't worry about him. He won't act rashly unless he is completely sure."

Qin Shuang thought of the various experiences in Shengyun County and nodded, "I also know Shen Bai's character, but after all, Shang E'men is like a dirty and smelly rat. He has been hiding in Fenglin State for many years and has committed a lot of bloody crimes. I am always worried about him."

Huang Guang checked the corpse driver's injuries and said, "That's not what I'm thinking about right now. I have full confidence in Brother Shen."

Everyone turned their eyes over, waiting for Huang Guang to speak next.

Huang Guang pointed in the direction of Shen Bai and said, "Brother Shen is like the bright sun in the sky, so bright that one can't open their eyes."

"I also come from a small county town, and I know that there are countless geniuses in Maple Forest State, but in my opinion, they are all shit compared to Brother Shen."

"At Xuanxin Temple, those so-called geniuses all followed Brother Shen. Brother Shen alone silenced them."

Kong Fang nodded and said, "Brother Shen's sword energy can transform everything. I think the one we should worry about is the evil gate."

Everyone listened, and a few people nodded subconsciously.

Qin Shuang heard these words, and the worry on his face eased a little: "So, you all feel the same way. It was the same in Shengyun County before. In times of crisis, as long as Shen Bai appears, people always feel at ease."

Jian Taiwen pondered, "Now I want to know what Shen Bai and Master Hong are doing there."

Everyone shook their heads, not understanding what was going on.

Just as everyone was secretly guessing in their hearts, a loud roar sounded in the distance, bringing everyone back to their senses in an instant.

"Is that Shen Bai's direction?"

Qin Shuang was the first to react. Thinking something had happened, he prepared to rush towards Shen Bai.

But at this moment, Shen Bai and Hong Feng walked out of the woods together, causing Qin Shuang to stop.

"Shen Bai, are you okay?" Qin Shuang asked.

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "It's okay, just a small problem."

Qin Shuang opened her rosy lips and was about to continue asking, but was interrupted by Hong Feng.

"Return to the Heavenly Supervisor." Hong Feng looked around and said.

Jian Taiwen frowned and said, "Master Hong, have you made a decision?"

Hong Feng nodded and said, "Let Shen Bai handle this matter."

Everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces, and no one understood why this was happening.

But Hong Feng didn't say a word, just led the way forward.

Hong Feng kept his hands in his sleeves the whole time, and there was a complexity in his eyes that ordinary people could not detect.

When everyone saw Hong Feng like this, no one said much, but there was more and more curiosity in their eyes.

After getting on their horses, Jian Taiwen and Hong Feng walked in the front, leaving the others slightly behind.

Jian Taiwen looked at Hong Feng's hands and asked, "Master Hong, why do you keep your hands folded when riding a horse?"

Hong Feng fell silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Do you know why I think Shen Bai is fine?"

Jian Taiwen shook his head and said, "Of course I don't know."

Hong Feng took a deep breath and took his hands out of his sleeves.

The next moment, Jian Taiwen's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief.

Hong Feng's hands were covered in blood and the wounds were horrific.

"This is..." Jian Taiwen swallowed his saliva.

Hong Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Shen Bai was injured by just a sword. He didn't even throw a punch."

"Lord Hong is at the peak of the Five Organs Realm. How is this possible?" Jian Taiwen found it unbelievable.

Hong Feng sighed: "I thought so too, but... let me put it this way, I have only seen that sword move on Mu Lao when he was young."

"A sword, covered with Daoist text and shadows, and with the power of a formation, is like... a collection of all kinds of horrors gathered in one."

"I even saw something eerie and terrifying in Shen Bai at that time."

"With this kind of strength, do we need to worry?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Taiwen fell into a long silence, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, Jian Taiwen said only one sentence.

"Shen Bai will definitely not stay in Maple Forest State for long."

"He is an eagle, a dragon. The sky of Maple Forest State is too low and the pond is too shallow to hold him."

"But being able to work with him might be something to talk about in later years."

The galloping horses gradually disappeared on the official road.

……

After returning to the Tianjiansi, since Hong Feng was the leader this time, he was the one who reported and registered.

After Shen Bai came back, he was planning to improve his proficiency, but before he could make such plans, Qin Shuang walked out of the main house of the Tianjian Division.

"Shen Bai, the teacher said he wants to see you." Qin Shuang came to Shen Bai, pulled Shen Bai's sleeve and said.

Shen Bai asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Although he was specially recruited by Liu Wufeng, except for the first day he met him, he had been busy improving his proficiency and had not seen Liu Wufeng again.

Qin Shuang whispered, "The corpse-driving incident is a big deal. The teacher knows what Shang Evil Gate has done, and he's probably worried, so he asked you to go."

Shen Bai thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll go first."

Qin Shuang hummed softly and said, "Don't be stubborn. The Tianshi Division must have other methods. We can continue to think of ways."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "What we should worry about is the Shang Evil Gate."

Qin Shuang didn't understand what Shen Bai meant, but Shen Bai had already walked far away at this moment, so he could only watch Shen Bai leave.

……

Main house, second floor.

Liu Wufeng held the memorial in his hand, his brows furrowed so tightly that they had become the shape of a river.

The matter of the corpse driver happened to appear in Fenglin State, which gave him a headache.

Although these are only a part of the corpse-drivers, if something happens, the Heaven-Watching Officer will take charge.

"The evil one is really coming straight for Shen Bai, without any concealment." Liu Wufeng put down the letter in his hand and looked towards the door.

At the door, Shen Bai walked into the room with a long sword slung over his waist.

As soon as he entered, Liu Wufeng spoke.

"Hong Feng has already arrived, Shen Bai, I now have two choices, you need to make a decision."

Getting straight to the point is very consistent with Liu Wufeng's style.

As the governor of the department, he never hesitates in doing things. Every time he asks people to come here, he is simple and direct.

Shen Bai found a seat and sat down, saying, "Master Liu, please speak frankly."

Liu Wufeng pondered over it again and again, and said, "First, you face the evil gate directly. I already know that Hong Feng is no match for you, but I am always worried that the evil gate has a backup plan. You are a dragon and a phoenix, and you should not fail here."

"second……"

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I choose first."
