Chapter 319: Shiyuan’s Arrival

"The more I look at you, the more I feel that you have ulterior motives."

Bai He pressed his lips together.

To be honest, his intentions had been fairly obvious.

If Zhang Wuji had not been so lonely, things probably would not have gone this smoothly.

"Master."

A voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Wuji’s expression immediately returned to its usual indifference.

He walked out and told Bai He to wait there.

So Bai He obediently stayed where he was.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Wuji did not return.

Instead, a man dressed entirely in black entered the room.

Everything about him was black.

Only a pair of eyes could vaguely be seen.

Just how ashamed of his appearance was he?

Why was he covering himself up so thoroughly?

"The master asked me to bring you to see your disciple."

"Thank you for your trouble."

After speaking, the man in black turned around and led the way.

Bai He felt somewhat curious.

Just what kind of person was he?

...

Bai He indeed saw Xu Feng.

Although he was not injured, he had been locked up.

The room was in complete disarray.

The moment the door was opened, Xu Feng rushed out anxiously.

"Master, are you alright?"

Bai He shook his head.

"I’m fine."

After hearing Bai He’s answer, he then noticed the black clothed man who had brought Bai He here.

Xu Feng immediately swung the Blue Lotus Sword at him.

Bai He did not even have time to stop him.

"Xiao Feng..."

The black clothed man turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared instantly.

"Master, they are not human. Apart from that man, the others are all created by him using evil techniques."

In the original story, Zhang Wuji was alone.

Bai He had thought that at the very least, his subordinates would be real people, but unexpectedly, even that was not the case.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sympathy for him.

"Master, while he is not here, let’s leave quickly."

"No, we cannot leave."

"Master, why must you stay?"

Bai He did not understand.

Bai He also did not want to stay, but...

"Because he has the Qingluan Lotus Seed. I have to stay. Since I am already facing death anyway, I might as well stay. Maybe there is still a chance for survival."

Xu Feng originally intended to take Bai He away from this strange place, but now he hesitated.

If the other party really did have the Qingluan Lotus Seed, then the situation would be different.

"In that case, Master, let’s find a way to snatch it from him."

"No need. There is no need for that. He has already agreed to give it to me."

Xu Feng did not believe it.

"Master, if you want to lie, at least choose something more believable. Even a fool would not believe something like that."

"It’s true. Otherwise, how would I have been able to find you? I told you before, everyone has weaknesses. As long as you strike at their heart, everything will naturally fall into place. Do you understand now?"

Xu Feng nodded.

"I understand now. So this is the same method you used on Senior Brother back then."

Bai He immediately raised his hand and smacked him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

How could those two situations possibly be the same?

After leaving the room, they walked outside.

There were still a few black clothed figures visible in the courtyard, but they seemed completely unaware of Bai He’s presence.

Bai He thought to himself that they were probably something like robots.

But no matter how advanced a robot was, it was still only following a preset program.

How could it possibly compare to a real person?

"Master, do you know where he went?"

Bai He shook his head.

"How would I know? I only know that he seemed to have something urgent to deal with and left in a hurry."

This residence was located halfway up a mountain.

Beyond it stood a vast mountain range.

Bai He could vaguely make out two people fighting in the distance.

The distance was too great, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Mo Zhu, zoom in."

"Yes, Host."

Very quickly, the magnified image appeared before Bai He.

His eyes widened immediately.

"Master, what happened? Why are you making that expression?"

It was not a matter of what expression he was making.

Rather...

Bai He did not have time to explain anything.

He immediately flew toward them.

As Bai He drew closer, the two fighters naturally sensed his presence.

Catching sight of him from the corner of his eye, Zhang Wuji instantly moved to Bai He’s side.

One arm wrapped around Bai He’s waist as he carried him to a nearby place where he could safely stand.

"Why did you come here?"

Just as Bai He was about to speak, a sword had already arrived before Zhang Wuji.

To prevent Bai He from getting hurt, Zhang Wuji quickly dodged.

"Shiyuan..."

Bai He called out.

Ye Shiyuan showed no reaction at all.

His entire body seemed to radiate anger.

Bai He was anxious beyond words.

What was he supposed to do now?

Ye Shiyuan probably was not going to listen to him at all in his current state.

"Host, hurry up and faint. Hurry up and faint."

Mo Zhu immediately offered Bai He a terrible suggestion.

Bai He slapped his hands together.

An idea instantly came to him.

Whether it would work or not, he first needed to make them stop fighting.

He took a deep breath, let out a painful cry, and then collapsed directly to the ground.

"Master! Master!"

Sure enough, he immediately heard Ye Shiyuan’s voice filled with worry.

Ye Shiyuan dropped the sword in his hand and pulled Bai He into his arms.

"Master?"

Bai He slowly opened his eyes.

"Shiyuan, I thought you were going to ignore me."

"Master, are you alright? Has the pure fire poison flared up?"

Seeing Bai He suddenly collapse, Ye Shiyuan no longer bothered to dwell on the fact that Zhang Wuji had been holding Bai He moments earlier.
