Chapter 18: There Are Too Many Flaws In Your Logic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This hand was not fast.

Xu Bai held the Ghost Head Saber at his waist and was about to draw it when he saw a familiar face.

Tie Suanxian?

Tie Suanxian, who had not been seen for several days, walked out of the darkness. His hand had not even touched Xu Bai's shoulder before he retracted it.

He felt that if he touched it, his hand would be cut off.

Little brother, you still didn't listen to my advice. Tie Suanxian sighed.

Xu Bai didn't want to waste any more time. Now that he had been delayed for a while, who knew where Yun Xiang had run off to? He prepared to climb over the wall and leave.

Wait, little brother, don't alert the enemy. Tie Suanxian quickly stopped Xu Bai.

Swoosh!

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Bai unsheathed his Ghost Head Saber and placed it on Tie Suanxian's neck.

It's not a matter of alerting the enemy, but letting the tiger return to the mountain. If you make me wait a little longer and I can't track her, you'll die in her place. Xu Bai held the saber very steadily and his words were as cold as ice.

Tie Suanxian did not dare to move an inch with the Ghost Head Saber on his neck. He could only raise his hands to show that he was innocent.

A long line to catch a big fish. Little brother, put down the saber first and listen to my explanation. I have a way to track her.

I hope you really can find it. Xu Bai put down his Ghost Head Saber. Come, explain everything from beginning to end.

The street was dark and there were only the two of them.

I'm a member of the Heaven Surveillance Bureau, I'm an official of the department. Recently, a Jisheng Cult suddenly appeared, and I was ordered to investigate. Tie Suanxian explained. He thought that as long as he explained clearly, the other party would definitely let him go.

Sometimes thoughts were one thing, but reality was another.

What is the Heaven Surveillance Bureau? Xu Bai asked.

Xu Bai didn't mean anything with it. It was just a simple question.

Ah? Little brother, you don't know what the Heaven Surveillance Bureau is? That can't be. With your skills, you should know it very well, Tie Suanxian said in surprise.

Tie Suanxian knew that Xu Bai was at least a grade-nine martial artist.

However, it was extremely rare for a grade-nine martial artist to not know about the Heaven Surveillance Bureau.

Now, Xu Bai's expression told him that he really didn't know much about the Heaven Surveillance Bureau.

Of course, there was no need to dwell on this matter now. He would explain first. Tie Suanxian could already feel that Xu Bai was about to raise the saber in his hand again.

The Heaven Surveillance Bureau belongs to the Great Chu Country. It's an official organization formed by a group of people from the martial world. It's in charge of eliminating demons and monsters, as well as those from the martial world who have embarked on the evil path. Tie Suanxian tried his best to explain succinctly. He was worried that the other party would not have enough patience.

Xu Bai stroked his chin, scrutinizing Tie Suanxian.

Just as he had expected, there was really a specialized organization in this world that managed people from the martial world.

Most importantly, the main members of this organization were people from the martial world.

The people from the martial world were in charge of controlling the people from the martial world. The Emperor of the Great Chu State had played this move quite skillfully.

After being rewarded with an official position, there were people who risked their lives. The Emperor of the Great Chu reduced a lot of manpower needed.

Little brother, look, I've already explained it. Put away your saber first. Tie Suanxian wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.

This person was too unreasonable. Although his complexion that day looked like a bloody calamity might befall him, he was at least kind.

Why did he seem like a different person tonight? He had become a murderous god.

Tie Xuanxian found it strange.

Why was the bloody calamity gone?

Something was wrong. How could the bloody calamity be eliminated in just a few days?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was strange. If it weren't for the fact that the situation wasn't right, he even wanted to forecast Xu Bai's fortune on the spot.

You said there's a way to track Yun Xiang? Xu Bai thought for a moment and asked.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Tie Suanxian came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded. There's a way. Didn't I return some money to her previously? When I returned the money, I had already left a mark on her body. I just have to follow the mark.

As he spoke, Tie Suanxian took out an old bronze compass.

I had no choice but to tell you. If you keep following her like this, she won't be able to do her thing and we won't be able to catch the big fish behind her.

When he said this, Tie Suanxian's tone was aggrieved.

You mean, there are many Jisheng Cult people in Sheng County? Xu Bai understood what he meant.

The big fish was undoubtedly someone from the Jisheng Cult.

Xu Bai loved catching fish.

Tie Suanxian nodded fiercely. I came here half a month ago and found that this place is very strange. There must be an accomplice behind her.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's just give chase, Xu Bai said.

Tie Suanxian hurriedly nodded and agreed. Then, he raised the compass and stared at the needle on it. A moment later, he led the way.

Little brother, don't alert the enemy.

He seemed to have thought of something and reminded Xu Bai again.

Xu Bai didn't say anything and silently followed behind.

The two of them climbed over the wall. Behind the wall was another alley.

Under Tie Suanxian's lead, they walked through several winding alleys and finally arrived at an empty lot.

This was also a remote place in Sheng County. Most of the houses were abandoned. There were usually no people here, so it became a place for beggars to stay.

Tie Suanxian walked with light steps and hid in the corner with Xu Bai.

Yun Xiang was standing in the open lot.

Beside her were more than ten people in black robes, and there were three beggars lying on the ground.

The three beggars were already dead and tortured beyond recognition.

Their four limbs were densely sutured. Judging from the wound, it had been cut off many times and reattached.

Their limbs were repeatedly cut off his limbs and sewn together with thread. This was similar to the evil spirit corpse that Xu Bai had encountered before.

It really is Jisheng Cult. Xu Bai thought for a moment and picked up the Ghost Head Saber.

At this moment, Tie Suanxian pulled him back.

Little brother, don't be rash. Wait a little longer and see what they are going to do next. If there are others lying in ambush, we'll let those people escape if we go out now.

He didn't get an answer from Xu Bai.

What answered him was a gust of strong wind.

A strong wind blew, and the Ghost Head Saber slashed towards Tie Suanxian's neck with an unparalleled aura.

Tie Suanxian's heart skipped a beat, he changed his steps in a profound manner, dodging the Ghost Head Saber by a hair's breadth.

When he took a step back, he realized that his forehead was already covered in sweat.

Just a step away, he would be decapitated.

What are you doing? Tie Suanxian's eyes were filled with anger.

What exquisite steps, Xu Bai said with a smile as he gently stroked the Ghost Head Saber.

I'm asking you, what are you doing? Tie Suanxian asked again, the anger in his eyes intensifying.

Nothing. I just feel that there are too many flaws with what you said, Xu Bai said slowly.

Tie Suanxian was stunned when he heard this. His expression instantly darkened, and his initial appearance disappeared.

Tie Suanxian's voice came from the dark street corner.

I'm very well-disguised. When did you find out?
