Bulwark of Light

Chapter 357 The Silent Victims (Da Zhang, ask for a monthly pass)

Finished reading the file.

Gu Shen spat out one mouthful of impure air.

It’s stressful.

Bai Xiu’s file is really perfect, this document records every task he performs in detail.

Can’t fault anything at all.

“It has been many years in Nagano… There has never been such a perfect young talent.”

Gu Nanfeng also read the file, he said seriously: “In three Before the establishment, [Deep Sea] did not establish a central database, our information was not complete, and we did not know much about the geniuses of the past. And Bai Xiu… It can be said that after the establishment of the database, within the scope of Eastern Continent, The ‘perfect’ man I’ve ever seen.”

Perfect.

This word is too much… but it is used on Bai Xiu, so it won’t make people feel inappropriate.

Incomparably powerful ability, and incomparably powerful stability.

This is perfect!

“Thunderworld Walker…” Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and asked slowly, “What kind of ability is this?”

“We don’t know yet.”

p>

“There is only one example of Bai Xiu in the extraordinary genealogy chart, so I can’t refer to it… And when he went out to perform tasks, he did not show his full strength. In the picture captured by [Deep Sea], The trait revealed by the white sleeves is ‘Thunder Power’.” Luo Fatty said sternly: “This name was named after himself, after the third stage comprehend domain, he corrected the information in the deep sea database and uploaded ‘Thunder World Walker’. This name, even with the authority of the Old Master, can only call out these.”

Hearing this, Gu Shen already understood.

White sleeves have never fought with all their might.

I’m afraid no one knows what the true abilities of “Thunderwalker” are except for the big man of the Bai Family who guides him…and a very small number of people close to him.

But that makes sense.

My own “blazing fire” is also the only ability in the extraordinary genealogy map, and it doesn’t even have a special name. The information in the deep-sea database is “blazing fire”, which is extremely hot and belongs to the spiritual system.

But in fact, the characteristics of Blazing Fire “devouring essentia” and “digestive ability”…simply no one knows!

Gu Shen, it is also impossible to expose it easily!

“putting it that way…the Thunder World Walker is likely to be more than just the ability of the nature department…” He kept his mind silently.

“You may not know, Bai Xiu’s oppressive power in Nagano.”

Luo Fatty said with a solemn expression: “Three Institutes, Five Great Families, all the geniuses of the younger generation, He was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t lift his head… Originally, he was an S-Rank ability that could fight beyond the ranks, and the cultivation speed was extremely fast. If he participated in the rookie battle, then everyone else would only be able to compete for second place!”

“But Bai Xiu left Nagano a year ago…Many people were sighed in relief.”

Luo fatty shrugged, “Actually, when you think about it, this is a very The irony is that when Bai Xiu left, they can only hope to obtain a dream of fire and see if they can become the future divine throne.”

The divine throne…it should be 10,000 The most powerhouse above ten thousand people!

He couldn’t even lift his head under the pressure of white sleeves… Can such a person really pass the spiritual test even if he got the “Dream of Tinder”?

Even if… this is the easiest level, I’m afraid it will be a complete defeat.

Gu Shen asked curiously, “So what did Bai Xiu leave Nagano for?”

“Trial.”

Luo fatty said solemnly : “No one knows exactly where he went for the test. The Bai Family claimed to be the permafrost wasteland north of Nagano, where the environment is harsh and it is difficult to survive… But I heard that this was the request made by Bai Xiu himself. I want to walk alone, but the Bai Family must have secretly dispatched Dao Protector to protect and follow.”

For such a genius, Bai Family can’t allow accidents to happen and cause them to fall.

“Right…”

Luo Fatty leaned down and winked at Gu Shen, “Master Gu, you checked his file, did you figure out something?”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Since being officially announced as the successor of Divination Technique by the guardians of the mausoleum…my title has gradually become strange and stubborn…

The voice of Chu Ling sounded in my mind, At the same time, the real-time monitoring image was called up.

“Friendly reminder, there are a lot of people gathering around the Northern Part of City…”

He glanced at the gathering crowd, there was a familiar silhouette like Bai Chen, and he immediately understood what was happening what.

Gu Shen was sighed in his heart.

I think this year is really a “good luck year”.

Whatever comes to mind.

“The White Sleeve Trial is back.” He looked at Luo Fatty and said calmly, “Now people are waiting for him at the city gate, right?”

“It’s boring…”

Luo Yu grunted, this is the latest news, no one has told the news about Bai Xiu’s return to the Snow Forbidden City, and the Bai Family has no preparations. The expression is not surprising at all…

It must have been calculated in advance with the Divination Technique!

……

……

The Bai clan has a strict hierarchy, with lineage and dozens of branches. Because the family business is too large, so The direct line has always inherited the Position of Patriarch… and the branch personnel are dominated by the Elder Council and spread to the entire Jiangbei.

In fact, most of the systems of the Five Great Masters are like this.

The entire Eastern Continent Jiangbei is actually under the joint control of the five great families.

Times change.

The blood flowing in the family, and the resonance in the blood… But it has not changed for hundreds of years. After six hundred years of vicissitudes of wind and snow, Nagano is still the most powerful region in Eastern Continent, and the five masters sitting high in the Snow Forbidden City are still the true Sovereigners in Jiangbei.

The Northern Part of City is banned from snow today, and it’s not very lively.

Heavy snow fell all over the city.

Because it was Bai’s annual “Ancestor Worship” festival, many elders went to the ancestral hall, and only a few people knew the news of Bai Xiu’s return to Nagano, so they waited at first. The crowd can only be considered cold and cheerless.

The Second Elder of the Bai Clan’s Patriarch is dressed in the standard robe he wears when worshipping his ancestors, with a high crown on his head and his sleeves folded. , wait silently.

If Time Reverse has been around for many years…

It’s not a car but a carriage that whistled past under the city gate, maybe this outfit will fit the occasion.

“Why did Xiao Xiu come back in such a hurry this time?”

Bai Chen came to the city and stood side by side with Second Elder, saying with a smile: “Don’t come with us beforehand. Say hello…but there are many people in Nagano who are looking forward to seeing him, even if only from a distance.”

Second Elder looked solemn.

Bai Chen raised his eyebrows, vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Perhaps because of the snow.

In the distance of the Snow Forbidden City, there are dark clouds passing by, strands of black air quickly lingering and condensing, black clouds cover the sky, and thunder gradually sounds.

Second Elder is the one who cultivated Bai Xiu in the ancestral hall, and he is also the closest person to Bai Xiu…

Regarding the news of Bai Xiu’s return, he is from Second Elder. learned.

Not long.

After the gathering of thunder and lightning, many people learned the news of Bai Xiu’s return, and many people from the Bai Family who were busy offering sacrifices also rushed out, and people slowly moved towards the city head, wanting to see style.

Right now.

“Little Sleeve has indeed encountered something…he has already entered the city.”

Second Elder whispered to Bai: “Stand with me for a while…he I want to be alone for a while.”

Bai Chen had some unpleasant feelings in his heart.

“What’s the matter…?”

There was a long silence.

Second Elder said softly, “On the way back from the white sleeves…there was an assassination.”

……

……

“Reading? Going out? Reading…”

One leaf after another was picked out by Bai Lu’s palm, making a choice.

She always felt that her heart was uneasy today. There were fewer and fewer people in the ancestral hall. It seemed that they all ran to greet Xiaoxiu, but why couldn’t she read it?

I have a bad premonition.

She closed the pages, stood up, and raised her head.

A cloudy cloud hangs over the Snow Forbidden City.

Lightning strikes.

In an instant, the hall was rendered into daylight.

Next moment, Bai Lu suddenly saw a familiar silhouette.

A white clothed youth.

“…Small sleeves?”

She doubted her eyes.

The outside of the Pai Clan Hall was empty, the streets were quiet, only the ginkgo trees rustled.

Everyone left to meet the white sleeves… and the white sleeves came here quietly.

The Snow Forbidden City is the mountain that countless geniuses can’t reach.

In fact, he has a rather immature baby face.

There is no expression on Baixiu’s face…but there is blood that solidifies between the sleeves…

Blood?

Bai Lu was stunned.

When Bai Xiu saw her, she was just nodded and didn’t say anything.

He walked straight to the ancestral hall in the backyard where he worshipped his ancestors, without disturbing a wisp of wind or leaf. After silently arriving at the ancestral hall, Bai Xiu looked at the plaques enshrined in the ancestral hall.

He just watched silently.

There is no anger, no sadness, no color in the eyes…there is, just peace.

……

……

“Assassination?!”

Bai Chen couldn’t believe his ears.

“I also have very limited information.”

The Second Elder whispered, “All I know is…the other party is very well-planned and very meticulous. In the tundra wilderness. If you take a shot, if you fail to hit, you will retreat thousands of miles.”

“But the specific position of the little sleeve…only the Bai Family knows.” Bai Chen’s expression gradually became complicated.

“Yes, that’s the problem.”

Second Elder said, “To be precise, only a few people in the Bai clan know the information about the little sleeve.”

Some words, just click to the end is enough.

“No…impossible…”

Bai Chen couldn’t believe it, frowned: “How can there be such a person in the ancestral hall?”

Bai Family like the sun at high noon!

Have yourself first, and then come out with white sleeves.

The next two decades will be like two stars shining in the sky!

And Bai Xiu…is a better and more talented person than himself. If this momentum continues, he may even become…

The next divine throne.

“The facts are in front of us. No matter how unwilling you and I are to believe, we must accept… Someone leaked the news and organized this assassination, right inside the Bai family.”

Second Elder said blankly: “This assassination was only a little short of success. ‘Qu Long’ stepped forward at a critical moment, defended Bai Xiu and died in the tundra. Before he died, he was wounded and assassinated. The person.”

When Shirago left Nagano.

The Zongtang sent a “Dao Protector”… This is a position established by the five families hundreds of years ago, and the inheritance of the past dynasties was established with the patriarch, similar to the “dead man”, “the one who sacrificed his life”. ”, they dedicated their lives to their clan, willing to be turned into shadows under the light.

Bai’s Dao Protector is not the same as Li’s Dao Protector in Shrine Mountain.

But what they paid for was similar.

They also give everything.

It can be said that…the meaning of Qu Long’s life is to die for Bai Xiu.

Bai Chen’s forehead faintly bulged with blue veins: “Where is the little sleeve now?”

“Zongtang.”

Second Elder whispered: “Bai Shi The Dao Protector, born without a sound, died without a sound, will not drop a monument in the ancestral hall, nor will he leave his name on the roster… Bai Xiu said he wanted to take a look.”

Bai Chen was about to leave, lowered his voice, “I’ll check!”

“How to check…”

Second Elder coldly asked: “Where to check? You leave now, Can you find out the truth?”

Bai Chen was speechless for a while.

“The enemy is right in front of you…”

The old man wearing a high crown spoke softly, his vision swept across the Snow Forbidden City, there was heavy snow, fine rain, and pale thunder, and one silhouette after another, waiting.

“Don’t…beat the grass to scare the snake.”

He stretched out one hand and slowly pressed Bai Shen’s shoulder, calmly said: “Today It’s the big day when Bai Xiu completed the trial and went home. He just broke through and achieved Ninth Layer Perfection. Everyone in Nagano is staring here. You want everyone to know… There has been such a major event within the Bai Family. Did something go wrong?”

Bai Si silently bowed his head, his breath only changed for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

“We are here waiting for him to ‘come back’, as for the tundra assassination…”

Second Elder’s Gao Guanbo belt swayed in the wind, saying: “During a thorough investigation, You must suppress the rumors and don’t spread the word!”

……

……

Bai Xiu silently stood in front of the Zongtang.

After the wind and thunder, there is heavy rain and heavy snow.

He did not enter the house.

I didn’t open the rain screen, I just stood silently… This white clothed body was actually soaked in the tundra, but now it got wet again.

Bai Lu stood under the eaves, watching this scene with some worry.

After seeing the blood stains on the cuffs of the white clothed, Bai Lu probably guessed what happened.

She took out the white silk and wanted to hand it to the little sleeve.

White sleeves did not answer.

The two just stood there in the heavy rain.

After a long time, the white sleeves opened.

His voice was a little uncertain: “Is it because of…my background?”

“…”

Bai Lu didn’t know how to answer this The problem is that she actually grew up with Xiaoxiu, and she has a vague understanding of the hidden meaning behind it.

Bai’s patriarch is determined by bloodline.

Only direct descendants can inherit Position of Patriarch.

Unlike Bai Chen and Bai Lu, the two “big men” who follow the destiny, Bai Xiu’s background is not noble.

No…it might even be described as “lowly”.

His birth was just an “accident”.

Bai Xiu’s mother is a woman from the Jiangbei branch. She is frail and sickly. She used all her strength to give birth to him, and the father is an out-and-out bastard. It is said that she was thrown into the river to feed the fish. …

When Bai Xiu’s ability awakened and was sent to the Snow Forbidden City, the file was immediately sealed.

It’s not just that the Bai Family has discovered the power of this teenager and wants immediate protection.

More because… Bai Xiu’s birth is actually an insult to the Bai family.

“This time, someone died for me.”

Bai Xiu said softly: “And I don’t even know what his surname is, what his name is… Bai’s ancestral hall will not leave a monument for him. “

These words touched the chord in Bai Lu’s heart.

Demoness lowered her eyes, a little sad.

She said hard: “Dao Protector, It’s always been like this…”

She can’t say it herself anymore.

It’s always been like this, right?

” Right now outside the Snow Forbidden City, there are still many people waiting for me.”

Bai Xiu said, “Second Elder hopes that I will keep quiet, and better be able to show…that nothing has happened. He said today is a good day, my trial is over and I have successfully broken through, so… I should laugh. “

He slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Lu.

There was not a trace of joy, sadness, or anger in those eyes.

All emotions were taken by him. It’s well hidden.

“What do you think…”

Bai Xiu asked softly, “Should I laugh? “

…

…

“Tsk… don’t look at your broken blueprints!” “

“Latest news-“

Luo fatty pressed an iron hand on the table.

He was in high spirits and was about to speak.

“Bai Xiu simply didn’t show up at the Snow City Gate, and everyone waited in vain. “Gu Shen’s tone is calm, casually, stealing his words.

Luo Fatty’s nose is smoking with anger.

Divination Technique again!

“Now Snow There are still people waiting at the city gate of the forbidden city, maybe Bai Xiu just hasn’t come back yet! “Luo fatty gnashing teeth, sat down, he picked up a blueprint like a ghost picture talisman, and his face was full of question marks.

“It won’t come back.” “

Gu Shen fluttered, “This guy should have gone to the ancestral hall… and [Feng Tong] can’t see it, the Bai Family will definitely use the authority to erase these deeds.” “

“This… how did you know?” “Luo Yu dumbfounded.

“…Secret. “Gu Shen smiled slightly, picked up the blueprint, continued to review in his mind, and dismantled the formation mark.

Chu Ling has been monitoring the Snow Forbidden City.

[Wind pupil] After the signal became abnormal, she carried out the test. It should be the same method that Li escorted herself that day… Glittering Group of Stars, and the bleak track is actually the track that she wants to cover up.

Some of the [Wind Eyes] are malfunctioning.

It happened to arrive at the Bai Family Clan from the city gate of the snow ban.

No matter how strong the Thunder World Walker is, they have not reached the open spiritual realm and shielded them. The level of Feng Tong’s perception… It can only explain one point. When Bai Xiu went to the ancestral hall, someone in the Bai Family used the authority.

And it was obvious that the news was released, but Chencang was dark.

This I can’t help but think about it.

Is this trying to attract people to the city gate?

Or…

“The white sleeves are here. Come back again…” Gu Shen laughed and said: “Bai Family may be in trouble. “

Tsukagi narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Luo Fatty frowned, a little puzzled, “Bai Xiu is back… Why is the Bai Family in trouble?” “

He thought about it again, and vaguely realized something.

“Of course… I just said it casually, without any evidence, no matter how much I guess, it’s just blind.” ”

Gu Shen stretched out his hand and put away the blueprint. He revisited the ancient prose he learned from Qingzuo last time, and confirmed that it was almost digested. It’s time to go again.

“If you continue to eat melons, I will not accompany you. ”

……

……

【Lantern】was swaying.

The dim light of the fire swayed in the rain, reflecting a flush of red .

The ancestral hall is full of trees, and the courtyard is full of elements.

The welcoming ceremony of the city gate in the snow-forbidden city attracted a lot of people, but Bai Xiu refused to show up, so the Bai family could only find it casually. An excuse to prevaricate the past… In fact, such anomalies are enough to attract a lot of people’s attention.

Bai Xiu doesn’t care.

He is waiting for the big figures of the Bai family in the ancestral hall.

And now…he waited.

“Impossible! “

An Elder shook the head and said, “There is no such precedent, Dao Protector cannot leave his name in the Zongtang… This is the rule.” “

“Dao Protector’s life…is the duty.” “

Another Elder said: “Qu Long died, that’s why he died. “

The elders looked at the white sleeves strangely.

This peerless genius who has met once in the Bai Family for decades, would make such a strange request?

Want to leave a memorial stone for a doomed sacrificer…?

“Don’t say it! “

Second Elder spoke in a deep voice.

He glanced coldly around, suppressing the momentum of the others to speak.

“We The case will be thoroughly investigated…the murderer will be caught. “

Second Elder comforted in a wide voice, “We’ll soon… clear Qu Long.” ”

Bai Xiu also looked at these Elders.

Including Second Elder, one after another swept over.

His eyes did not detract nor did he Irony, no confusion, no curiosity.

Peace.

Peace like water.

Or…dead silence.

Bai Xiu asked a question.

“What’s his name? ”

There was a sudden silence in the yard where needles fell.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the question…no one could answer.

Qu Long…just a code name.

No one knows his name.

“…Alas. “

An Elder sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: “The sacrificers are all comrades in the Bai family’s branch with few lives. They are willing to sacrifice themselves and become ‘life sacrificers’ , give up everything…”

Halfway through, his voice stopped abruptly.

He realized he had said something wrong.

These are unknown The people… come from the branch of the Bai family.

And Bai Xiu also came from the branch.

And in terms of background… Bai Xiu will only be more bleak than those people.

He hurriedly stopped talking, then looked at Bai Xiu, sighed in relief… The other party’s expression did not show anger, it was as smooth as a mirror as always.

Fortunately, it should be Bai Xiu is not that keen.

So he finished the rest of the sentence: “All in all…no one will remember their names. “

“Okay. “

Second Elder came forward again.

“Now that you’re back in Nagano, that means…you’re safe.” The assassination case in the tundra, the Elder Council will handle it with the strictest attitude. While this matter is being handled, I hope you… keep quiet. “

Second Elder’s voice was also a little nervous.

While he was speaking, he observed Bai Xiu’s expression to ensure that the latter’s mood did not fluctuate too much.

p>

“The trial is over, and it is good news that you have successfully broken through the realm. Don’t be under any pressure recently, take a good rest and wait for the results of our investigation. “

He comforted in a wide voice: “Next, prepare for the rookie battle in the Snow Forbidden City. If you can win that ‘dream of fire’, maybe in the future… you will be the next divine throne of Nagano! “

White sleeves shook the head.

He looked at the swaying white robes in the courtyard and spoke slowly.

“You… let me be too disappointed. ”
