Chapter 1079 The Truth of Misunderstanding
"Is this the way the Beast Sect treats its guests?" Mr. Bai's pleasant voice echoed through the world.
Without any anger, but it made the Guardian Qinglong feel a great sense of threat, glaring angrily.
Out of his own defensive instinct, just as Qinglong was about to act, a figure suddenly leapt from the ground.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
With a scream, a figure flew straight to Mr. Bai.
The tense and nervous atmosphere was instantly broken.
Countless gazes from all over the world were suddenly focused on that small figure.
"It's Xu Ke..." Mr. Bai smiled.
Xu Ke then rubbed the back of his head, feeling uneasy.
But as taught by Li Fan, he timidly asked, "Mr. Bai, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"
Before Mr. Bai could answer, a blue light suddenly appeared from the sky and stood between him and Xu Ke.
"Brother Luya!" Seeing an old acquaintance, Xu Ke was very excited.
And Mr. Bai looked at Luya, who was full of alert, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Luya, long time no see."
Luya said, "What do you want?"
His tone was cold, full of vigilance.
Mr. Bai also didn't mind, and slowly said, "I have no ill intentions in coming here. I just came to find the Beast Sect and ask for their help with a certain matter."
Luya hesitated and pondered upon hearing this.
Just then, an old voice rang out, "Coming from afar as a guest, our Beast Sect has been ungracious in our hospitality."
An elder with white hair and eyebrows appeared instantly.
"Elder Dayang?" Luya was surprised.
Elder Sanmo nodded to acknowledge him, then looked at Mr. Bai. "Honored guest, please come with me. If there is anything the Beast Sect can help with, we will definitely cooperate."
This very polite attitude left Luya somewhat puzzled and difficult to accept.
But he still respected his teachers, and did not argue directly.
"Then I will thank you in advance." Mr. Bai also retracted his aura.
Following Elder Sanmo, he disappeared from sight.
"Eh? Why did he leave?" Xu Ke, who had expected Mr. Bai to take him along, was somewhat regretful for a while.
"I told you not to get too close to Mr. Bai! You rushed up to him as soon as you met him!" Luya gently patted Xu Ke's head, reprimanding him.
"He is not at all what he appears to be in front of us," Luya looked at the distant Beast Sect with a dark expression.
"Luya, why do you say that? Mr. Bai is really a good person!" Xu Ke was puzzled, but said earnestly.
"You... sigh..." Luya sighed, "Anyway, I won't hide it from you now."
"After Ningyuan City was razed to the ground, we... with Mr. Bai..."
"Under his command, called out to the people to save themselves. And helped to move as many of the wounded as possible to the small broken temple."
"But that day ..."
Lu Ya fell into a memory, looking a bit dazed.
"Someone among the wounded suddenly had an injury outbreak, and it looked like they couldn't support themselves. Mr. Bai happened to be away again, and our level simply couldn't save him ..."
"So we can only spread out and search for Mr. Bai in the city."
Xu Ke also suddenly said at this time, "Yes, I remember, there was such a thing at that time. Not long after that, Big Brother Lu Ya's attitude towards Mr. Bai changed completely. Why on earth?"
Lu Ya took a deep breath, "At that time, I couldn't find Mr. Bai anywhere. Suddenly, I remembered that when I was once seriously ill, I was brought to Mr. Bai's house for treatment. I vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a basement in his house."
"I thought, could he be in the basement at this time. After some effort, I finally found the entrance to the basement near Mr. White's house. I was just about to shout and ask, but I faintly smelled a bloody odor wafting out from it. I thought it was Mr. Bai who was injured, so I didn't care about anything else and rushed to break in. But saw ..."
"Saw what?" Xu Ke was also firmly captivated by Lu Ya's description.
"Corpses. A basement full of them, all of them fragmented corpses. And he, holding a sharp knife, was splitting the corpses and performing evil rituals. Do you remember how many other brothers the dog used to have? All of them were forcibly sewn into the dog's body." Lu Ya asked.
Xu Ke nodded.
"At that time, several of them disappeared inexplicably, and when I asked Mr. Bai, he said he hadn't seen any trace of them either. But ..."
Lu Ya gritted his teeth, "I clearly saw them in those sentences of corpses in the basement!"
"This ..." Xu Ke stared straight, simply unable to believe this.
Lu Ya continued, "The scene in that basement was simply like hell. I still feel icy cold when I think back on it. Not only was the smell of blood so strong that it was appalling, the ground was already stained black and red with blood. The innermost part of the basement even stood an extremely bizarre faceless statue!"
"Even though I only took one look at it at the time, it often reappeared over and over again in my nightmares. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined how evil it really was!"
"He seemed very shocked at my inexplicable intrusion. I, however, reacted immediately, fearing that he was going to kill and exterminate me. Without saying a word, I rolled and crawled my way out of the secret room. I fled back to the temple as if I were crazy, wanting to reveal Mr. Bai's true nature. But he has always disguised himself too well! No one believed me at all!"
Lu Ya let out a long sigh.
"If I stay by his side all the time, I will definitely be in danger of being victimized. One can only flee! Unfortunately, no matter how much I said, you were the only one who was willing to escape with me."
"Luckily, on the way we met Master Teacher, and finally settled down in this Imperial Beast Sect. But it didn't occur to me that he actually had a dark soul and followed us here again."
Xu Ke looked at Lu Ya's frowning face, and his heart became very tangled.
"Maybe, there's some kind of misunderstanding?" Xu Ke still tried to persuade.
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding can there be?" Lu Ya snorted coldly.
"You've seen him in person now. Facing the Harmonization Realm's Protector Qinglong, he was able to change his face. One can imagine just how terrifying his strength is today! In a short period of time, he has cultivated to such a level. Aside from being exchanged for the power of that evil sacrifice, I can't think of any other method that could have reached it!"
"Furthermore ..."
Lu Ya paused, "That bizarre faceless statue, I've investigated it as well."
"It's an ancient evil sect, the evil god sacrificed by the Xuan Tian Sect! The remnants of the Xuan Tian Sect, my generation of cultivators, everyone must be executed!"
Xu Ke wasn't sure what the Xuan Tian Sect was.
However, he knew the reason why Mr. Bai cultivated so quickly.
However, when the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly remembered Li Fan's advice that "Heavenly secrets must not be divulged" and could only swallow it back.
