Chapter 305 Re-entering the Path of Life and Death

"Then the next supernatural power will be the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Return Technique," Shen Bai thought to himself.

Although he has only just entered the Celestial Realm, he plans to continue working on the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Technique without stopping.

After all, the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Return Technique is only 15000 proficiency points away from the next level.

Once he's leveled up to the next tier, his strength will be boosted once more.

Although the situation seems to have stabilized now, there are still the Great Qi Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom outside.

Behind these two countries stand chaotic organizations.

With several forces surrounding them, even if the Great Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom joined forces, it would be extremely difficult for them to resist.

Therefore, improving one's own strength is the most important thing right now.

Just as Shen Bai was about to use the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Return Technique, through the protection of his Void-Breaking Golden Eye, he sensed Zhao Henglong rushing towards his location.

Zhao Henglong hadn't bothered him for a long time.

They usually come here to deliver urgently needed intelligence.

When Zhao Henglong delivered intelligence, he was always extremely calm.

Seeing Zhao Henglong in such a hurry today, Shen Bai felt that there must be something going on.

Thinking of this, he stopped grinding and put his mind at ease, waiting patiently.

After a few breaths, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Zhao Henglong gently knocked on the door: "Your Highness, I have something important to report."

Shen Bai put down the teacup and said, "Come in and talk."

Zhao Henglong immediately pushed open the door, placed the folded document in his hand on the table, and showed a hint of urgency on his face.

This is a process, and some things can never be as clearly described orally as when they are written down.

Therefore, when there was an emergency, Zhao Henglong would usually write it down on paper so that Shen could review it.

Hongzhuang stood beside Shen Bai, quietly waiting for his instructions.

Shen Bai glanced at the folded document on the table, and Hongzhuang immediately picked it up obediently and handed it to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai then took it and examined it carefully for a moment.

After a few breaths, Shen Bai finally finished reading the entire document, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Is someone spying on Mo Yunjing?"

The memorial stated that recently, several generals, accompanied by members of the Golden Dragon Guard, had been patrolling Moyun Capital and had witnessed several figures appearing and disappearing swiftly.

Moreover, each of them carried an extremely powerful aura.

The Golden Dragon Guards didn't know who these people were, but as soon as something unusual happened, they reported it to Shen Bai immediately.

Now, Xuanjing City is also extremely busy.

Even the high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom were too busy to spare any attention, as they were cooperating with the Great Southern Kingdom in suppressing the feudal lords.

At this moment, such an anomaly is definitely not a trivial matter.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai used the Wuji Gua Technique according to the contents of the memorial.

Since the Golden Dragon Guards couldn't find out who it was or what their identity was, they decided to use the Wuji Divination Technique to calculate it.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Bai used the Wuji Gua Technique, the golden compass floating in the sky dimmed and gave no indication.

Shen Bai knew the reason for this situation.

This means that the situation is no longer something that can be calculated using the level seven Wuji divination method.

"In other words, the opponent is very powerful, at least at the Immortal Realm." Shen Bai rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.

At this moment, the sudden arrival of some experts at the Immortal Realm in Moyun Capital signifies something that Shen Bai understands better than anyone else.

This means that the other party is targeting you.

But Shen Bai still had some doubts.

Such a thing has happened, even people at the Immortal Realm have fled outside Moyun Capital, but why is there no news at all?
Logically speaking, at least someone should have told me.

After a moment's thought, an idea gradually formed in Shen Bai's mind.

Perhaps the other party found out where they were through special channels without alerting anyone else.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai placed the memorial on the table and said.

"Order the Golden Dragon Guards to increase their vigilance recently, and report to me immediately if they discover any suspicious persons."

The situation is now clear: the other side is in the shadows, while we are in the open.

With the enemy in the dark and him in the light, Shen Bai's first thought was to strengthen his defenses, tighten up Mo Yunjing's defensive forces, and then see what the other side was planning to do.

Zhao Henglong nodded hurriedly in agreement, and then left the room as instructed by Shen Bai.

After Zhao Henglong left, Hongzhuang's face showed a hint of solemnity.

"Master, it seems they're here for you again. I wonder who it is this time."

Shen Bai turned around and said, "At this point, it's quite obvious who wants to deal with me."

Given the current situation, Shen Bai knew that those who wanted to deal with him were nothing more than members of the Chaotic Organization.

Although he didn't understand how the other party had broken through the numerous blockades, since they were there to deal with him, he had to be prepared.

Hongzhuang asked, "How does Master plan to make his move?"

Now that the enemy is in the dark while she is in the light, she has no idea what Shen Bai's next plan is.

Shen Bai smiled slightly: "I have always believed that there is no perfect way to do something. As long as the other party wants to do something, then you can find clues from the moment they do it. The only difference is how many clues there are."

"The more they make a move, the more clues they will gather, until I discover them and can take them all down at once."

Hongzhuang understood that Shen Bai's approach was correct.

The owner has always preferred to take the initiative.

Especially after obtaining clues, they never give the enemy any opportunity to exploit them.

Even though the enemy is currently in the dark while we are in the light, Hongzhuang still thinks the enemy should pray that they don't reveal too many clues.

She was Shen Bai's monster. After Shen Bai reached the Celestial Realm, Hongzhuang and Hu Po also reached the Celestial Realm.

They knew that with Shen Bai's ability to overcome adversity, even if someone reached the Immortal Realm, they would only have their head ripped off.

Before long, the room fell silent again.

Hongzhuang, with the air of a well-bred young lady, exuded elegance as she quietly brewed tea for Shen Bai.

……

A suburb far from Moyunjing.

The man in the black robe had his hands behind his back.

In front of him were dozens of people at the Immortal Realm.

Each of them possessed an aura as deep and unfathomable as the ocean; any one of them, if placed in the martial arts world, would be enough to stir up a storm of bloodshed.

"How is the situation?" The man in black robes glanced at two of the members.

The two members, one tall and one thin, both exuded a cold and sinister aura.

The tall man stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sir, we deliberately showed our faces in Moyunjing. Shen Bai should already know this, and he is probably preparing to make a move."

As someone at the Immortal Hidden Realm, if they wanted to conceal their presence, the Golden Dragon Guards would have absolutely no chance of finding them.

This time, they deliberately stood out to arouse Shen Bai's suspicion.

As for why he did this, the man in the black robe certainly had his own reasons.

Then, in everyone's sight, the man in black robes raised his hand and searched through his sleeves.

A moment later, he found a bronze compass.

The bronze compass still has some rust stains, making it look extremely old. Even if you threw it on a small shop on the street, no one would be willing to take it.

However, at this moment, the bronze compass was emanating a chilling aura.

Everyone knew that this bronze compass was a strange object.

The man in black robes slowly said, "Mo Yunjing is too close to Xuanjing City, and Shen Bai is hiding in the shadows. In addition, the high-ranking officials in Xuanjing City are busy with their affairs, but if Mo Yunjing is in danger, they will do everything they can to come and save him. So we need to go to a safer place."

Before they arrived, this group of people from the chaotic organization only knew that they were going to kill Shen Bai, but the organization did not tell them how to do it.

In the organization's words, the less we know about this matter, the better. After all, Shen Bai is proficient in divination, and no one knows what Shen Bai can predict.

At this moment, as the man in black robes explained his plan, everyone stared at him with curious eyes.

After a brief silence, the man in black robes continued, "I let you show yourselves so that you can make contact with Shen Bai. You all know that I am a Xuan Master."

"The so-called Xuan Master is a branch that originated from Taoism. They are skilled in all sorts of mysterious and profound techniques. My greatest strength lies in leading him onto the path of life and death after establishing contact with him."

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a look of horror in their eyes.

The profession of Xuan Master is extremely mysterious and rare.

The man in black robes was a Xuan Master, skilled in all sorts of bizarre techniques. Using this unfounded connection to drag Shen Bai into a life-or-death situation was indeed a Xuan Master's unique method.

As for the underlying principles, no one knows, because the profession of Xuan Master is inherently extremely mysterious.

However, everyone knew that if the man in black robes really did that, then death would be the only path awaiting Shen Bai.

Having been dragged into a life-or-death situation, and with dozens of experts at the Immortal Realm surrounding and killing Shen Bai, and with no backup, there was absolutely no chance for Shen Bai to come out alive.

After giving his explanation, the man in black robes calmed down and casually tapped the compass a few times.

The reason he explained was actually to reassure this group of people.

Although everyone is part of a random group, they may all have ulterior motives when carrying out missions.

This is beyond our control.

Now that he has reassured everyone, they will be more united in carrying out the mission.

It would be much easier to ambush and kill Shen Bai.

Before everyone's eyes, as the man in black robes reached out and touched the compass, the compass began to slowly rotate.

The rust that was originally embedded in the compass disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the old compass became smooth and looked brand new.

As the compass spun, beams of golden light continuously scattered across it, converging under the black-robed man's fingers and transforming into streams of light that flew towards Mo Yunjing.

The group noticed that the man in black robes and the surrounding scenery were gradually disappearing.

When they regained their senses, they found themselves on a desolate and silent land.

This is the road between life and death, connecting the two worlds.

This place is full of crises, but also contains opportunities.

No one can see through the path of life and death.

That is precisely why the path between life and death is shrouded in mystery.

The man in black robes had his hands behind his back and had already put away the compass.

Under everyone's gaze, the man in black robes gradually turned cold.

"Set up an ambush; Shen Bai will be here soon."

Everyone nodded hastily, and then, as the man in black robes had instructed, they concealed themselves and patiently waited for Shen Bai's arrival.

……

Mo Yunjing.

Shen Bai was pondering how to accelerate his mastery of the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Return Technique.

As for the information Zhao Henglong mentioned earlier, Shen Bai felt it was best to set it aside for the time being.

Once the other party reveals enough clues, he might be able to deduce it using the Wuji Gua technique.

Just as Shen Bai was pondering this, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. Then, Shen Bai abruptly raised his head.

"arrive."

At his current level, some of his mysterious intuitions are extremely reliable.

For example, right now.

He had a vague sense of unease in his heart.

Amber and Red Makeup had long since merged into Shen Bai's body, and seemed to sense the unease in Shen Bai's heart, showing some unusual activity.

But Shen Bai immediately suppressed him.

"coming."

Shen Bai raised his head, looked at the ceiling of the room, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

That mysterious feeling grew closer and closer, as if it were already right in front of me.

Just as Shen Bai was thinking this, a golden light pierced through the ceiling and fell into the room.

Shen Bai sensed a familiar aura within the golden light.

Before he could make out the details, the surrounding scenery began to blur.

In just a few breaths, the blurry scenery became real again.

After everything returned to normal, Shen Bai looked back.

Everything before my eyes was a tapestry woven with life and death.

He already knew where he was.

"The Road to Life and Death, what a grand scheme. To prevent others from coming to their aid, they actually dragged me into the Road to Life and Death."

After observing the surrounding scene, Shen Bai immediately understood what the other party was planning.

Because Mo Yunjing and Xuanjing City are extremely close, even if the other party wanted to deal with him, they wouldn't dare to do so openly.

After all, if it provokes the higher-ups in Xuanjing City to take action, unless they can mobilize the same combat power as those higher-ups, they will not be able to defeat Shen Bai.

Given this, they will surely come up with a more perfect plan.

And now this plan has emerged: to directly drag Shen Bai into a life-or-death situation.

There is no specific way to get on the path of life and death; getting in is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Even if you use special methods to get in, it will take an extremely long time.

In that extremely long period of time, the enemy would probably have been able to surround and kill Shen Bai.

As Shen Bai was thinking this, a man in black robes appeared in front of him.

Although the man in black robes was completely shrouded in black, the aura of the Immortal Realm emanating from him was as chilling as a menacing blast of air, sending shivers down one's spine.

Shen Bai looked at the man in black robes, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "You're from the Chaotic Organization, aren't you?"

When the man in black saw Shen Bai enter and noticed Shen Bai's calm demeanor, he frowned slightly.

He didn't know why Shen Bai was so calm, but now that Shen Bai had entered, it was time for a decisive blow.

Then, the man in black robes didn't say a word, but simply waved his sleeves at the surroundings.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of experts at the Immortal Realm hidden in the shadows launched their strongest attacks, all aimed at Shen Bai.

The powerful attack carried a devastating force, as if it could blast through the entire path of life and death.

This is an attack that combines the power of dozens of Immortal Realm experts; if it were to land, it would be enough to destroy a capital city.

However, Shen Bai remained unmoved after witnessing these attacks.

He knew that the other party must have come prepared and could not possibly deal with him easily.

But I never expected that they would have to pay such a high price to deal with me.

With dozens of Immortal Realm experts present, Shen Bai would surely have died here today if he hadn't broken through.

Unfortunately, Shen Bai had already reached the Celestial Realm.

Shen Bai turned the Cold Moon in his hand and thrust it out repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, countless blood-red sword energies, drawn by the cold moon, erupted and spread across the entire sky.

The sword energy seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, shattering all surrounding attacks.

"sharp."

Shen Bai shook Han Yue and felt a slight numbness in his right arm.

Even though he could overcome adversity, he still found it somewhat difficult to withstand the combined attack of dozens of experts at the Immortal Realm.

Fortunately, they managed to stop it.

The man in black robes stared at Shen Bai with a look of horror on his face, and Shen Bai took in his disbelief.

"Impossible! You've only been in the Peak Realm for a short time, how could you have already reached the Celestial Realm?"

As someone at the Immortal Realm, the man in black robes could clearly sense that Shen Bai had already reached the Celestial Realm.

Coupled with Shen Bai's ability to overcome adversity, his strength at this moment is absolutely extraordinary.

"Kill him! Kill him quickly!"

The man in black robes shouted loudly.

They have temporarily gained the upper hand, arriving at this life-or-death path before Shen Bai, and absolutely cannot hesitate in the slightest.

The experts at the Immortal Realm around them all understood that Shen Bai's strength at this moment was by no means ordinary.

They obeyed the black-robed man's orders and launched their attacks.

Another terrifying attack came, but the next moment, they were met with a terrifying sword aura.

Countless sword energies converged, forming a colossal sword that crashed down heavily in front of them.

The crimson color on the greatsword, like a blood moon in the sky, was oppressive.

The few experts at the Forefront who were attacked by the giant sword let out a scream, vomited blood, and turned into a pile of corpses.

The remaining experts at the Immortal Realm were also severely injured by the residual force of the attack, feeling a sharp pain in their internal organs.

At this moment, fear lingered in everyone's hearts.

They originally thought that Shen Bai was a person at the pinnacle of cultivation, and it was impossible for him to break through to the Celestial Realm in a short period of time.

But this time, a miracle happened to Shen Bai once again.

Shen Bai successfully broke through to the Celestial Realm and, with his ability to overcome adversity, became the dominant force on the battlefield at this moment.

"Why was he able to break through so quickly?"

Many people had a thought.

But at this moment, these thoughts were no longer important, because Shen Bai had already used the level eight Divine Speed ​​of Ten Thousand Miles, transforming into a blur and arriving above the group of people.

The next moment, Shen Bai brought his incredible speed and agility to their fullest potential.

Within a small space, terrifying combat power erupted.

Moreover, layers of darkness enveloped the area.

The Shadow Thousand Kills' Sky-Changing attribute can even alter the sky above the Path of Life and Death.

With the combined effect of these two supernatural powers, and further enhanced by other supernatural powers, Shen Bai's sword strike was unmatched.

Even a top expert at the Immortal Realm would have no choice but to kneel in submission.

The terrifying sword energy raged like a storm.

In the blink of an eye, only a pile of corpses remained on the ground.

Apart from the man in black robes who is still alive, there is no third person.

The man in black clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly.

He truly hadn't expected Shen Bai's combat power to have reached such a level.

At that moment, he knew he had lost.

They originally thought that carrying the organization's mission and bringing so many experts to surround and kill Shen Bai would be a piece of cake.

But he knew he was wrong.

"Chen Bai!"

The man in black robes roared, and then the compass in his hand shattered into countless fragments.

The debris transformed into streaks of golden armor, covering it.

He is a Xuan Master, but that doesn't mean he lacks combat power. On the contrary, with the enhancement of various spells, he is the strongest among this group.

Shen Bai looked at the black-robed man clad in golden armor, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know why I spared your life?"

The man in black robes was stunned.

Then, Shen Bai's next words sent chills down his spine.

"The fact that so many experts at the Immortal Realm were able to pass through the Great Zhou Kingdom's guards proves that the Great Zhou Kingdom still has people of your kind. I'd like to know who they are."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai flashed and appeared in front of the man in black robes.

With unparalleled force, the cold moon pierced straight into the chest of the man in black robes.

The black-robed man's golden armor was completely destroyed, and he couldn't even fight back before Han Yue pierced through his entire body.

The terrifying sword energy remained hidden, but with just a little effort from Shen Bai, he could kill the man in black robes on the spot.

The man in black robes understood exactly what Shen Bai was thinking.

He wanted to find out who had let them in.

"You'll never find out."

The man in black robes roared angrily, raised his hands, and prepared to commit suicide.

But the next moment, pain struck, and the black-robed man felt a numbness in his limbs.

The terrifying toxins from the Poison Repelling and Spirit Returning Spell are suppressing the black-robed man's movements.

"I didn't say I wanted to ask who you are?" Shen Bai smiled slightly, then raised his left hand.

The Bagua (Eight Trigrams) condensed in his hand, and the threads of the Wuji Gua Technique drilled into the body of the man in black robes.

"I just want to figure out who let you in."

The next moment, a phantom image flashed before Shen Bai's eyes.

When he saw the phantom, he sighed slightly.

"Emperor Shengwu has treated me well, but his son really wants me dead. Since that's the case, it's time to use my status as a king of equal rank."

The man in black robes opened his mouth, about to speak.

Immediately following was a sharp pain, and under Shen Bai's terrifying blood-red sword energy, he was reduced to fragments scattered all over the ground.

Shen Bai looked around.

At this moment, the path between life and death came into view.

He saw a figure appear at the end of the road between life and death.

"I didn't expect to have a new discovery this time. Let me see who you are?"

Just as he killed the man in black robes, he felt a gaze sweep over him, and then saw a fleeting figure.

Since he was already there and had encountered something unusual, he naturally wanted to take a look.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai transformed into a blur and pounced towards the appearing phantom.

Ahead, the shadow is gradually solidifying.

When Shen Bai saw that figure, his brows furrowed slightly.
