Chapter 750: Nine Heads Die

“This feeling.”

“It’s really amazing.”

The girl's tone became a little dazed: "It's like looking at a different version of myself in the mirror. I can't help but feel a sense of closeness in my heart."

"Master Qing, what on earth is going on?"

When Xiaoqing heard the girl's affirmative answer, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Could it be that..."

…

Xu Bai naturally had no idea what was happening on the other side of the wall.

At this moment, his mind was completely immersed in the enlightenment of the red rope sword intent.

As his comprehension deepened, the red rope that suppressed the black flesh seemed to come alive. It gently floated to Xu Bai's side and surrounded him intimately.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Bai suddenly opened his eyes and flicked his fingers.

A barely visible red light flashed from his hand, and then flew towards the twisted flesh and blood in front.

The wailing sounds that had been echoing in the temple suddenly became silent.

Although after a moment, he replied immediately.

But such a strange situation still made the woman in the gauze skirt waiting behind Xu Bai extremely shocked.

"Sir..." She couldn't help but ask.

Xu Bai stretched out his hand to stop her from asking questions, and just looked at the trace of blood on his wrist that had appeared at some point in time.

With the physique of a new-method Nascent Soul cultivator, even wounds from knife and sword cuts can be healed in an instant.

But this slight bloodstain seemed to be innate and could not be dispelled.

"Is there such a serious side effect?" Xu Bai couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"It seems that Xu Ke's disappearance may also be related to his repeated use of the Red Rope Sword Technique."

"Although the wooden sword contains the sword principles of the world, it cannot attack first."

"Although the rope sword has unparalleled killing power, it requires one's own life to be sacrificed."

Xu Bai's eyes flickered: "There are certain restrictions. Interesting..."

Next, Xu Bai visited the remaining eight temples one by one.

In addition to a deeper understanding of the Red Rope Sword Technique, he also saw with his own eyes the three heads of Chi Jiutou, who died with his eyes open.

The hair, flesh, and eyeballs of one of the heads had been hollowed out by the imperials, leaving only the gray skull.

The remaining two were still alive, just as they had just died.

Even before getting close, you can feel the boundless evil spirit and resentment emanating from it.

"What a wicked beast!"

This was also the first time Xu Bai saw a real ancient ferocious beast, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"A thousand years after its death, its ferocity is still there. I wonder how ferocious it was when it was alive. And Mr. Bai was able to kill it with just a red rope..."

Xu Bai’s mind was full of thoughts.

After finishing the tour, Xu Bai returned to the high tower palace.

Looking at the woman with a veil sitting next to Xiaoqing, Xu Bai couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

He tried to raise his right hand.

Something happened that surprised him a little.

The veiled woman opposite also raised her right hand at the same time.

No agreement, but almost completely synchronized.

It's like there is a mirror between the two of them.

Apart from some differences in appearance, the veiled woman looked almost like herself.

"The Holy Blood to Fetus Method." Xu Bai knew the reason for this phenomenon in an instant.

At the same time, he also knew the identity of the veiled woman in front.

Emperor's daughter.

Descendant of Xu Ke and nominal ruler of the empire.

But he obviously couldn't show it.

Pretending to be extremely surprised, he stood up suddenly, pointed at the princess, and said in a lost voice: "What's going on?"

Xiaoqing carefully observed Xu Bai's every expression, trying to find some flaws in it. But she was disappointed.

Xu Bai's performance was almost exactly the same as the emperor's daughter.

"It seems that he doesn't know his true identity." Xiaoqing said secretly.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" However, she still decided to test it again, knowing the consultant's words.

Xu Bai seemed to have recovered from his initial shock. He stared at the princess with deep doubt in his eyes.

"Who is this? Although this is the first time we meet, I always feel very close to her and familiar with her."

"It's not an illusion. I have the same feeling." The princess responded softly.

Xu Bai seemed even more shocked this time.

He turned around and looked at Xiaoqing: "Daoyou, what is going on?"

Xiaoqing looked at him for a long time before speaking. Instead of answering, she asked, "Xu Daoyou, how much do you know about your own life?"

"Background?" Xu Bai was stunned.

"I am just an ordinary mortal, originally living in a small world. Later, by chance, I joined the Union of All Worlds, and then I embarked on the path of immortality. My blood relatives have long passed away..."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my background?" Xu Bai asked.

Xiaoqing looked into Xu Bai's eyes, as if trying to discern the truth from his words.

After a long silence, he finally gave up.

Then Xiaoqing took out a portrait, and the person in the painting looked almost exactly like Xu Bai.

"This is..." Xu Bai continued to play dumb.

"This is the founder of the empire and my master." Xiao Qing said in a faint voice, "His name is Xu Ke."

"Many years ago, he bid farewell to everyone. He has been missing since then."

Xu Bai stared at the portrait, as if shocked by this heavy information, and stood there in a daze.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "His last name is also Xu. Could it be that I am also a descendant of Xu Ke?"

"At the moment, this is the only reasonable explanation." Xiaoqing's tone was also a little uncertain.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, in which small world is your hometown? From what I know about our master, he doesn't seem like someone who would marry and have children..." Xiao Qing asked in confusion.

"My hometown is in..." Xu Bai said, and suddenly stopped.

After coming to his senses, he was the first to complain. Looking at Xiaoqing and the imperial daughter, he was full of suspicion: "Daoyou Qing, are you treating me like a child? How could it be so coincidental?"

"Tell me, what is your purpose?" Xu Bai looked at Xiaoqing coldly.

Xiaoqing was stunned by Xu Bai's sudden change of attitude.

Then he smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's hard for me to believe it. But everything is just so coincidental. It's like fate has destined me to meet you thousands of years later, when I had already given up."

"As for whether what I said is true, there is a way to test it."

After Xiaoqing finished speaking, she winked at the princess.

The empress took out a scepter and tapped the ground.

Then a hole suddenly appeared on the floor and the three people were swallowed up in an instant.

Xu Bai did not resist, and then he came to a huge space with no end in sight.

There are rows and rows of corpses of different exotic beasts here.

Further away, there seemed to be various mechanical devices placed there.

Xu Bai wanted to move forward, but found an invisible barrier blocking his way.

"This is the Imperial Treasury, which contains the wealth accumulated by the Empire over thousands of years."
