Chapter 143 The old lady of the Bai family
Zhou Zhilu continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you guys are planning to let Bai Xiaoqin enter that Gu Abyss, right?"
Bai Qiufeng didn't answer, and Zhou Zhilu continued, "As far as I know, the Gu worms in the Guyuan Forest are basically born in the Guyuan, and the reason for the formation of Gu worms... is probably because the God of Desolation is sealed there.
"The leakage of the power of the Wild God led to the birth of the Gu worm, and the formation of the Guyuan Forest.
“Although I don’t know how the White Snake obtained the power of the Wild God, its target must be the Wild God in the Gu Abyss.
"Now it's living in Bai Xiaoqin's body, and its purpose is to enter the Gu Abyss through Bai Xiaoqin!"
Bai Qiufeng pondered for a moment and replied, "These are just your one-sided statements. Hand over Xiaoqin first. I will make the final decision after seeing her."
Zhou Zhilu replied, "But I need to know what is the specific relationship between the White Snake and you?"
Bai Qiufeng looked over coldly: "You only need to know that the relationship between the White Snake and me is mutually restrictive. I will prevent the White Snake from contacting the God of Desolation."
Zhou Zhilu said slowly, "Actually, the safest way is to prevent Bai Xiaoqin from entering the Guyuan Forest."
Bai Qiufeng immediately said in a cold voice: "Then you want to cut off my Bai family's escape route!"
"Are you going to use your own daughter to continue your escape?"
"You!" Bai Qiufeng stood up suddenly.
Zhou Zhilu interrupted, "I won't interfere with your Bai family's escape plan. I can send Bai Xiaoqin back, but not here. I can send her back to Yunjiang City and resolve all potential risks within the city. The imperial army will also guard Yunjiang City to prevent any accidents."
"No." Bai Qiufeng flatly refused. When Bai Xiaoqin's identity was exposed, she would inevitably face surveillance from the imperial court if she returned to Yunjiang City.
It would take a lot of time to send Bai Xiaoqin into the Gu Abyss again, and what the Bai family lacks now is time.
Zhou Zhilu naturally didn't know about this, and frowned when he heard it, "Are you so anxious to send your daughter into the Gu Abyss?
Bai Qiufeng was about to say something with anger on his face when a tired voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Qiufeng, that's enough."
Bai Qiufeng was startled when he heard the voice, looked outside and asked in surprise, "Mother! Why are you here?"
Zhou Zhilu and others also hurriedly stood up after hearing this. After all, Bai Qiufeng was only a seventh-level strongman, and neither Fusu nor Huike's master was afraid of him.
But his mother is a top-level ninth-order expert, and everyone must give her enough respect.
An old woman with an aged face, drooping eyes and wearing a linen long dress walked in with the support of Bai Sheng.
Is this the old lady from the Bai family who intimidates the southern border of the Song Dynasty?
Questions arose in the minds of Zhou Zhilu and the other two. After all, the old woman looked... too weak, just like an ordinary, elderly woman.
"Haha, do you think that I, an old lady, am not what you imagined?" The old lady of the Bai family said with a smile.
Zhou Zhilu and the other two quickly replied that they dared not.
The old lady of the Bai family walked slowly into the house and said, "I have lived too long. I should have followed in my old friend's footsteps long ago, but I was worried about the Bai family, and Qiu Feng was forced to this point..."
Bai Qiufeng said worriedly: "Mother..."
The old lady of the Bai family raised her hand to stop him, saying, "I've been awake for too little time recently. I didn't expect to be in such a state when I woke up today... This little guy is right. It's too shameful to use Xiaoqin to exchange for my Bai family's escape route, especially since this escape route was stolen.
"Even if you want to train Xiaoqin, I agree to train her gradually. But if you want to gamble with Xiaoqin's life just because I, an old woman, don't have much time left, I won't agree to that!"
After saying this, he looked at Bai Qiufeng and sighed, "Qiufeng, I know you're afraid that the Bai family's inheritance will be cut off with you, but our Bai family has been passed down for countless years and has experienced all kinds of hardships. If we have to sacrifice the ignorant children in our family in exchange for a sense of security, then the Bai family will truly decline..."
"Besides, the most important thing right now is to solve the problem of the White Snake. No one can master the inheritance now. If even the White Snake's power is taken away, then it will be all over!"
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but ask, "Senior Bai, what exactly is the White Snake? What's its relationship to the ancient family?"
The old lady of the Bai family turned around and looked at Zhou Zhilu. After staring at him for a while, she said, "I can only tell you this answer."
Fusu and Huike were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Zhou Zhilu with a little worry, but facing the old lady of the Bai family, they did not dare to refuse.
Zhou Zhilu nodded at the two of them.
After Fusu and Huike left, the old lady of the Bai family said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just because this matter involves the secrets of the ancient family and can't be known to outsiders."
Zhou Zhilu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What did the old lady from the Bai family mean by this... Did he see that he was from the Zhou family?
However, the old lady of the Bai family did not ask her, but explained: "The ancient family... actually existed during the creation period, which is the period when the God of Desolation existed."
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this. Doesn't that mean that the ancient family has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years?!
The old lady of the Bai family continued, "If it relied solely on human power, it would be difficult for an ancient family to pass on its legacy for such a long time. Just like our Bai family is now, there will always be a period of time when no one in the family can master the inheritance.
"And at times like these, the only thing we can rely on is the power of the Ancestral Demon."
"Ancestor demon?"
"Yes, whether it's the red fox of the Yu family or the white snake of my Bai family, they are all ancestral monsters... the ancestors of monsters."
"How is this possible? What kind of monster can live for hundreds of thousands of years?!" Zhou Zhilu said in disbelief.
"Of course they can't in normal environments, but they are in a special environment, which is why they have been able to survive for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Each ancestral demon is bound to the ancient family by an ancient oath. We all guard the promise we made, but these ancestral demons cannot leave the ancient family even a step.
"Even human hearts cannot remain unchanged forever, let alone demons. As hundreds of thousands of years have passed, the bodies and strength of these ancestral demons have gradually weakened. Even in special environments, they cannot persist for much longer.
"So, they want to break away from the oath. I believe this is definitely not an isolated case. I don't know how the other ancestral monsters do it, but the white snake clearly wants to use the power of the God of Desolation to achieve nirvana and rebirth..."
The old lady of the Bai family said this with a cold expression: "If we take our old friendship into consideration, my Bai family doesn't have to keep it trapped forever, but it shouldn't play with or even try to plot against the God of Desolation!
"This is a taboo... After all, the Zhou family, once one of the ancient aristocratic families, also targeted the God of Desolation and was lost in the long river of history!"
Zhou Zhilu looked at the old lady of the Bai family in surprise, but saw that she was still looking at him with a kind face.
