Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Whitebeard thought about it,...
Whitebeard thought about it, and finally nodded: "That's right, we should go back and take a look. Otherwise, if we are too indifferent, even if the Sword Immortal recovers his memory, he will think we are too hard-hearted."
So, Whitebeard brought a group of people to look for the location of the Sword Bearer and Li Baili. Unknowingly, they entered the Demon Island and found that there were many demons here. They were shocked and felt it was very dangerous, so they went into stealth mode.
They quickly found the exact location of Li Baili and the Sword Bearer. Just as they were about to step forward to talk to them and explain their identities and their intention to help, they saw the Sword Bearer stand up with an expressionless face, holding his weapon, step over the threshold, and walk out.
Everyone was startled again and terrified, thinking they had been discovered. They were speechless for a moment and blinked their eyes, afraid of being misunderstood, so they all stopped where they were.
The swordsman glanced at them and everyone froze up, not daring to move, as if they were frozen into popsicles in the snow. Not even their fingers could tremble and their breathing had stopped.
They have the illusion that they are actually dead.
In fact, it was just a moment.
After a moment, the sword holder withdrew his gaze, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not dare to breathe deeply, for fear that the sound would attract the sword holder back, and they even held back their coughs.
The system has told the Sword Bearer that they are here, but because they did not show up, did not seem to be causing trouble, and did not know the situation here before, the Sword Bearer was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just passed by them and killed the demons he saw one by one.
The Whitebeards and their men slowly turned their heads and watched as the sword-wielding man's back became farther and farther away. There were more and more corpses around them, the blood on the ground became thicker and thicker, the smell of blood became increasingly irresistible, and the faces of the group of people became paler and paler.
It’s not that they haven’t seen demons before, nor have they not fought with demons, and it’s also that they have killed demons in large numbers like this before.
But no matter what, they had never seen anyone who could kill a large number of demons without any effort, so easily, so normally, without changing his expression, as if it was just a trivial matter.
If they didn't know the abilities of others, how could they not know their own? It would be difficult for a young man to fight a slightly capable demon alone and even draw.
Whitebeard might be able to fight against two stronger demons, but if there were three, he would not be able to hold on. If there were four, he would usually quickly request reinforcements. If there were five, he would consider how he would die.
All of them combined could probably only barely fight a group of monsters and end up in a weak draw. They never even dreamed that they could fight monsters in batches all by themselves, and not just defeat them but kill them!
If you defeat a demon, the demon may not resist seriously for the sake of a chance to survive, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
But if you want to kill a demon, the demon will have to be serious even if it doesn’t want to be serious because it is about to die. Its fighting power may soar and it will be impossible to defeat it easily, let alone kill it!
Everyone gasped and slowly showed stunned expressions.
In the crowd, the young man watched the swordsman's back disappearing in the distance, and couldn't help but secretly look at Li Baili in the house.
Li Baili was still sitting on the chair in the room, and the ropes that had been tied to him fell beside him, like two dead snakes.
Most of his face was hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. He looked at the back of the swordsman with his eyes slightly narrowed, as if smiling, and as if with affection.
Most of Li Baili's face was hidden in the shadows, and it looked even colder than before. Although the corners of her lips were slightly raised, as if she was gentle, her face still gave people a feeling of contempt as if they were ants.
A face like this should not look affectionate even when smiling, but those bright eyes on this face make Li Baili look strangely mixed with compassion and coldness.
The young man was shocked and suddenly thought: They have said everything they should have said, why are they still so close? Do they know everything about each other?
So I’m neither surprised nor angry, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong?
So what kind of relationship do they have? What kind of relationship would allow them to eat and live together without conflicts, not be suspicious of each other when accidents happen, and not be willing to separate?
Even if they were lovers, he had never seen such a good relationship. What's more, he didn't believe that there were really lovers like that in the world.
No wonder, one is a sword immortal and the other is a monster, they are indeed extraordinary.
The young man didn't dare to look anymore and quickly looked away.
The sword bearer had walked back slowly. Although the Whitebeards and their men were still standing by, they did not speak and were very quiet, as if they did not exist. The sword bearer walked past them without looking around and came in front of Li Baili.
Because these people were not aware of what had happened before they came, when they saw the Sword Holder walking up to Li Baili with a sword in hand, they thought that the Sword Holder wanted to settle accounts with Li Baili. They all gasped, feeling nervous but with a bit of anticipation, and a bit of fear in their anticipation, and they stared at the two of them with burning eyes.
Li Baili was some distance away from them, and there was a swordsman in front of her, so she couldn't see clearly what they were looking at.
The swordsman had his back to them and could feel their gazes, but still didn't want to pay attention to them. He just pretended they didn't exist and smiled at Li Baili.
If that group of people were not watching, the swordsman would probably squat down and talk to Li Baili, after all, Li Baili was sitting there.
But they were watching from here. No matter how much the Sword Bearer ignored them, they did exist. So they couldn't squat down. They could only stand, slightly bent over, and whispered to Li Baili: "Shall we go back now?"
Li Baili nodded.
The swordsman pulled Li Baili and the two of them disappeared.
Only Whitebeard and his group were left in the yard, looking at each other in amazement.
"What should we do next?" the young man was the first to come to his senses.
Whitebeard frowned and pulled his beard and said, "Since we have come here, we can't come in vain. Let's check first to see if there are any alive. Ask a few questions before leaving."
Everyone dispersed and checked, and found that no demon was alive. They came back, shook their heads, and reported one by one.
The white-bearded old man took a deep breath and said, "You are too murderous. I never realized that the Sword Immortal was this kind of person!"
The young man couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't we go back here and see?"
The old man with white beard thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, they saw that a group of demons put Li Baili on a chair and tied her up. Not long after they tied her up, the swordsman immediately appeared in front of them. He only asked them once and cleared them all out.
It was at this time that they realized that the dark floor of the house was not entirely shadows, but also the melted blood and souls of the previous corpses.
Everyone gasped.
Then, they saw in the picture that Li Baili was sitting on a chair without any harm, with a smile in his eyes. Although he was still tied up, he seemed to be relaxed as if he was at home, watching the swordsman holding the sword, walking towards him step by step.
People couldn't help but clench their fists and feel nervous.
If they were in the swordsman's shoes, they would have been shaking even if they were tied to a chair. It would be impossible for them to be as calm as Li Baili.
They stared at the screen and couldn't help wondering: How could the evildoer not be afraid of such a powerful and ferocious person? How could he not think that the sword-bearer might want to kill him as he was approaching him with a sword? What was so funny about leaving him for last?
After that, everyone saw with their own eyes how the swordsman squatted in front of Li Baili, how he untied the rope for him, how he spoke to him in a soft voice with a gentle look, and how he smiled slowly at him.
The people present were stunned for a long while, until the picture slowly disappeared, and they were unable to come back to their senses. They just felt as if they had just had a dream, which was out of reach, yet seemed real and illusory. They wanted to believe it but dared not.
For a moment, the expressions on their faces were quite funny.
Finally, the young man reacted and broke the tense atmosphere, saying, "It seems that we need to re-examine the relationship between the Sword Immortal and the reincarnation of the evildoer."
People gradually came to their senses, nodded, looked at each other, but remained silent for a while.
They really couldn't think of what to say.
Whitebeard hesitated for a while and said, "This is a very important matter. We should go back to Penglai Island and discuss it carefully with everyone before making a decision. What do you think?"
The others nodded repeatedly, thinking that this was a good idea. With more people, perhaps they could discuss and come up with useful results.
There are not enough people here, but there are enough dead monsters, which makes them feel a deep sense of crisis, as if the sword immortal may suddenly change his mind and come back here at any time, and let them die with those monsters. This makes their minds confused and they can't think well.
A group of people quickly returned to Penglai Island and held a meeting.
Because this meeting required the opinions of the majority, everyone simply held the meeting in an open space. Everyone stood there densely packed, and looking down from above, it looked like a piece of black ant cake.
Whitebeard told everyone what happened. Everyone was silent. Seeing that no one was talking, he spoke up and said, "I actually thought they were weird before, but I didn't have much contact with them. It's hard to make up stories without evidence.
But now it seems that my guess was correct, they do have a strange relationship, not what we imagined.
They are neither at loggerheads nor deceiving each other. It seems that they are willing to stay together. Although we may not like it, forcibly separating them will only backfire."
