Chapter 903: Many Saviors

Xu Bai bent down and picked up the pearl. He weighed it in his hand and then recalled everything that had happened before. Soon, he had an idea.

“The illusion just now might have something to do with this bead. Illusion bead, what can this thing do?”

Xu Bai thought to himself.

For no reason, the illusion appeared after the death of the Mindfulness God. Now, another bead fell. It was obvious that it was related to the illusion just now.

However, he wasn’t in this line of work and didn’t have any skills in this area, so he didn’t know what to do with it.

“The only solution now is to wait until we get out. I’ll keep this pearl for now.”

After making up his mind, Xu Bai put away the pearl, turned to look at the mountain, and shook his head.

There was nothing else here. Everything had disappeared.

The people from before had indeed turned into Deities, but they had already chased after the people who had come in. The blind man he met later was also an illusion. In other words, there was no place worth exploring here.

“Then where should I go next?”

After settling the matters here, Xu Bai suddenly realized that he had lost his target again. He had an illusion bead in his pocket, but he didn’t know how to use it.

He rubbed his chin and stood there for a moment before making a decision.

“Let’s go back to the city first and find out which branches of the Dharma Destroying Pavilion are here.”

“Even if each branch only has one progress bar, it’s enough for me to gain something.”

“Besides, I still have a book about failing to become a saint. I have to find a place to finish it.”

“Therefore, we need to figure out which branches there are and find them one by one. Then, we can control them. This way, we can take advantage of them without any danger.”

After making up his mind, Xu Bai didn’t stay any longer and headed straight for the city he had first arrived at.

As for being too far away, that city had already lost control. It didn’t matter. He just needed to control it again.

Flying in the air, Xu Bai looked at the mountain in front of him that he had destroyed in half. He did not stop and directly disappeared into the sky…

..

Outside the dilapidated city.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a loud rumble, Xu Bai fell from the sky and landed at the city gate.

Looking at the familiar city gate in front of him, he frowned. At the same time, a feeling of unease rose in his heart.

Not far ahead, there were no guards outside the city gate.

According to his previous experience, there should be guards outside, but it was empty now.

“Something is wrong.” Xu Bai thought to himself.

Before he left, he had already modified and pieced together the memories of these people with his soul, making everything extremely smooth.

Even if City Lord Si had lost his divine soul treasure, Xu Bai would have done it very smoothly. There was no way such a situation would have happened.

Then there was only one answer. Something had happened to the city.

A gust of wind blew past from the other side of the city gate and directly welcomed Xu Bai. The wind carried the smell of blood.

The smell of blood in the city was a common occurrence. After all, in this era, the smell of blood was the most normal existence.

Xu Bai had smelled it when he first entered the city, but it was different this time. The smell of blood was extremely strong.

Xu Bai carefully stepped into the city gate. After passing through the city gate, he walked to the street.

The street was originally clean. Other than some dust, there should still be vendors around, but now there were no vendors.

In its place were corpses.

The corpses on both sides of the street had terrifying wounds on them. Blood was constantly flowing on the ground. Most of the blood had long dried up, proving that these people had been dead for some time.

“Someone came and killed everyone here.”Xu Bai pondered.

His divine soul began to gradually spread, enveloping the entire city within it.

Corpses were everywhere. As long as it was a place where his divine soul was spread out, it was all dead people. There was not a single living person.

As he scanned the area with his spirit, he saw something. His expression changed slightly and he quickly walked in that direction.

His speed was very fast, and he arrived at his destination in a short time. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was slightly surprised.

Not far ahead was a tall city wall. There was a corpse on the city wall that had been pierced through by a spear and nailed to it.

The corpse was wearing a thin veil, revealing its body. However, at this moment, the body that should have been alluring was strangely twisting.

City Lord Si.

“He was killed, but there is one suspicious point.”Xu Bai raised his head expressionlessly and narrowed his eyes.

City Lord Si was dead, and he had been pierced by a long spear. His death was extremely terrifying, and his limbs seemed to have been shattered.

However, he discovered something unusual. His divine soul was extremely huge. When he swept past just now, he did not find a single person.

He might not remember the others clearly, but Gao Guan was not among the corpses. He did not die.

“Something’s wrong, but it’s also very wrong.”

Xu Bai rubbed his chin and paced back and forth.

According to what he encountered when he first entered the ruins.

At that time, the high pass was in an abandoned mountain, which was the Three Lives Mountain.

That time should be the end of the era of resource depletion, because many people had already used extremely cruel and strange methods to survive.
