"No matter what, we will give the order that everyone must stay at their posts for the next month. We don't know how powerful the other side is, so we should be careful to avoid any accidents. Now that the revived world has finally calmed down a bit, we must not let what happened at the entrance of the monster barrier happen again. If something like this happens again, they will lose their lives, understand?"
The man's life was saved last time, it's true, but... the Great Elder never liked people who were indecisive, so, adhering to the principle that the death penalty can be pardoned but the living crime cannot be escaped, he arranged for that person to have the worst job.
But now I think about it, I am indeed fortunate that I assigned that person to the worst position. Otherwise, even if I really let him rush to the front line, I am afraid he might not be able to do a good job.
The reason why he said this is because the Great Elder learned from the people below that—
After this person was assigned to the most distracting job, he was always distracted when doing his work because he was still brooding over the innocent and tragic death of his former partner.
Now when he works, he looks like he has lost his three souls and seven spirits. It is not really pitiful. It is because he did not take the matter to heart at that time, which led to the tragedy.
"yes."

On the other side, the man on the top floor immediately told his superior that Bai Xiaofei had set out alone. He originally thought he could retreat, but he didn't expect that his superior would keep him.
"The matter is not over yet. You stay there and watch. When the matter really happens, can the Ximen family really remain calm?"
"yes."
I don't understand why I should stay, but...
If he could really get hold of some evidence, this would be a very good thing. Not only would he get a promotion and a raise, but he could also become a senior executive. Then his family would have hope for life.
The man suppressed his inner excitement, calmed down and waited patiently.
-
Half an hour later.
Bai Xiaofei came to the address sent to him by Zhao's father.
This is another suburb away from the Simon family.
This place... is very remote.
It took him at least twenty minutes to drive here.
After Bai Xiaofei parked the car at a place, he opened the door and got out.
He looked up at the unfinished building in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
Although I was confused, I had to keep going inside.
There was no ghost in the silent unfinished building. Bai Xiaofei frowned and stepped lightly on the ground.
He called out everywhere, "Mr. Zhao, where are you?"
Calling him here from so far away, wouldn't it be just to scare him?
Bai Xiaofei tried hard to control his inner tension. As he walked deeper, he could vaguely feel the yin energy getting stronger.
Just when he was about to stop and leave, a cold laugh sounded by his ears.
"Are you leaving just like that, Mr. Bai? You have a very good reputation in Ximen. They all say you are brave. Why are you backing down now?"
It was a very strange sound, like there was a stone stuck in the throat.
Bai Xiaofei stopped and turned around, just in time to see a man in a cloak standing about a hundred meters away.
He deliberately wore a cloak so that people could not see the expression on his face, but Bai Xiaofei could vaguely feel that the smile must be full of sarcasm.
Bai Xiaofei squinted his eyes and looked at him, trying to see a hint of his facial features from his obscured face.
But since there is no light here, it is really difficult to see the face clearly.
"You...are not Father Zhao?"
"I am indeed not Zhao Ming's father. I am just using Zhao Ming's father's name to ask you out. Bai Xiaofei, on behalf of the Dark Family, I sincerely invite you to join our Dark Family! If you are willing to join us, we can give you whatever you want."
"You called me here specifically just to tell me this?"
Bai Xiaofei was a little shocked.
The cloaked man nodded: "If you are such a popular person in the cultivation world, no matter which family you are from, they will all scramble to get you. It's just that the Ximen family is really perfunctory to you. Why don't you change your target and come to our family!"
The man in the cloak was suspended in the air like a ghost, flying towards Bai Xiaofei.
"Although our family practices evil magic, I believe that with your cultivation level and our help, you will be able to create a myth that no one can surpass in the world of cultivation. Bai Xiaofei, are you willing to join us?"
The cloaked man stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture to Bai Xiaofei.
Bai Xiaofei shook his head: "So why should I agree to you? Just because I want to create a myth that no one else can surpass? I can do this kind of thing by myself, even if I didn't meet the Ximen family at the beginning."
Bai Xiaofei sneered.
At this moment, he seemed to see the scrutinizing gaze of the cloaked man in a trance.
He probably never thought that he would be rejected by Bai Xiaofei.
but……
After thinking for a while, the cloaked man suddenly raised his head and laughed: "I thought you would refuse, but I didn't expect you to be so straightforward, without even thinking about it. But this is not important. The important thing is that even if you don't agree to me, you came here today, which means you stepped into my plan. Bai Xiaofei, since you refuse to change sides, then..."
The man chuckled.
Before Bai Xiaofei could react, he suddenly felt his consciousness gradually fading away, and the ferocious face of the cloaked man in front of him gradually enlarged.
He is going to...
"Have a good sleep! Since you don't agree to be ours, don't blame me for ruining you."
Destroyed him?
What's the meaning?
Bai Xiaofei wanted to say something when he felt the man sneer and raise his hand to his face.
Bai Xiaofei immediately lost his condition and fell into a coma.
—
Simon family.
Tang You rushed in breathlessly and pushed open the door of the great elder's room.
The Great Elder was obviously frightened, frowning and blaming, "Why are you in such a hurry? If someone didn't know, they would think you had encountered some terrible incident..."
He casually picked up the cup of tea and prepared to taste it.
Ximen Zhenzi on the side also frowned instantly. She could feel that Tang You came in a hurry, and something big must have happened.
She couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Did something happen to Bai Xiaofei?"
Tang You lowered his eyes and clasped his fists in return: "Young Miss is really smart and can predict the future. Mr. Bai... they lost him, and now we don't know where Mr. Bai has gone. What should we do, Great Elder? Are we just going to watch this matter continue to ferment?"
puff!!
The great elder spat out a mouthful of water.
He looked at Tang You in surprise, "What are you talking about? Mr. Bai, how could you be so confident in accomplishing this task and disappear without a trace? We sent out at least a hundred people, how could we lose track of them?"
