Chapter 1038: The Best Solution
After he said that, the entire place fell silent.
No one spoke, but everyone’s eyes were fixed on the old man.
After the old man heard Xu Bai’s words, his expression finally changed. He sighed silently and said,””Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed. I’m very curious. How did you discover me?”
When he said this, it proved that the old man had already admitted Xu Bai’s deduction.
Xu Bai looked at the old man with a smile and said slowly,””Actually, I didn’t notice you at the beginning. After all, you hid yourself very well. Your various acting techniques were almost perfect, especially when you would rather die than live in disgrace. There were no flaws in your performance. However, in the end, you were just acting.”
“The most obvious problem is that you were too anxious just now. I only asked you if you had a solution, but you said that the person who tied the bell should solve it. You even said that it was related to me and that I was needed to enter.”
“However, you don’t know that this matter is related to me. When you say this, it proves that you have a problem.”
After hearing Xu Bai’s words, the old man seemed to have accepted his fate. He shrugged and stood where he was without saying a word.
It was like a piece of meat.
Director Mu’s expression became complicated.
“When did it start? Even you betrayed us.”
Regardless of whether it was in the martial arts world or in any corner of the world, the various messages and legends about this old man were all extremely praising.
However, it was because of this strong contrast that Director Mu felt uncomfortable. Even such a person had betrayed this world. He did not know how many similar people there were in this world.
The old man turned to Director Mu and said,””To be precise, it’s not betrayal. It can only be said that his heart is towards the light.
” He is the master of countless worlds. The survival and destruction of countless worlds are in his hands. How can you say that he betrayed us?”
” You are absolutely no match for him. There have been countless worlds that wanted to resist, but the end result was always the same. They all walked towards destruction and began anew.”
As he said this, the old man’s face revealed a trace of respect.
It was as if the Absolute Saint was his supreme master, and he was the Absolute Saint’s dog. Even if he was a dog, he was willing to be one without any complaints.
The dean took a few steps forward and grabbed the old man’s collar. This usually gentle and refined scholar was on the verge of anger at this moment.”Dog, what is the use of you being planted here? Hurry up and tell me, and I can spare your life!”
Just as the old man had said, he had been planted here a long time ago. Now that he had appeared out of nowhere and participated in this matter out of nowhere, he definitely had an important role to play.
The old man didn’t seem to be afraid. Instead, he said calmly,”There’s no harm in telling you. Our initial goal was to monitor him.”
As he spoke, the old man pointed at Xu Bai and paused for a moment before continuing,””But I didn’t expect him to grow so fast. Now my master wants me to kill him. I’m not the only one who has received the order. He’s in danger now.”
“Killing him will allow the thing behind him to start anew. Although it will become even more powerful, it will take time, and this time is my master’s most precious thing.”
Without using any interrogation methods, the old man revealed almost everything he knew. When the people beside him heard it, they all frowned.
Xu Bai sized up the old man in front of him and said,””What you are saying now seems to be a shocking secret, but it is all we know. There is no important information.”
He and the Absolute Saint were already in a life-or-death relationship.
It was normal to be targeted. From the information he had learned in the past, he knew that as long as he died, the cheat would come back.
He would become stronger after starting over, but it would take time. Just like how he had grown from being unable to do anything to his current realm, all of this was accumulated over time.
This time was enough for the Absolute Saint to escape.
These things sounded earth-shattering, but for reasons that were already known, they were irrelevant.
“Will you tell me the important news?”Xu Bai’s question was very simple. He didn’t even want to say another word.
He could not control the other party’s divine soul, and the other party would even pretend to be controlled by him. Who knew if what he said was true or false?
As for interrogation, this guy was probably the absolute saint’s loyal lackey. It was impossible for him to get any useful information.
Now, Xu Bai was just going through the motions to see if the other party could say anything.
The old man did not answer, but the expression on his face was obvious.
He seemed to be very happy to see Xu Bai’s current appearance, and he even added,”
” Others might not know, but I know your ability. There’s a book in my cottage, but you can’t learn it because the Absolute Saint tampered with it. You can’t activate your ability, and if you want to learn it by force, who knows how long it will take you.”
“Kacha!”
With a slight sound, Xu Bai broke the old man’s neck. He did not have the intention to say anything more to the old man and turned to look at Director Mu.
