390: The whole story

Snap…

Facing Shen Bei's greedy expression, Bai Wei didn't waste words and directly threw out a Martial Skill book.

“Instant Shadow Return to Origin Pact.” Bai Wei narrowed her eyes slightly, and her thin lips slowly formed a gentle arc: “Haven't you always coveted this spell of mine? It's yours now.”

From the moment Bai Wei picked him up, she and Zhuang Bifan had exchanged glances.

Zhuang Bifan had clearly indicated that Shen Bei had made a huge gain, and he knew nothing, so if she wanted to ask, she should ask Shen Bei.

Of course, Bai Wei also knew Zhuang Bifan's character; he would never look at things he didn't want to see, nor would he get involved in any Karma for things he didn't want to know.

Therefore, Bai Wei didn't haggle and went straight to the point.

At this moment, Shen Bei took the book and smacked his lips.

So, her instant movement spell was called Instant Shadow Return to Origin Pact…

Zhuang Bifan had already explained the fundamental principle.

To be honest, it was similar to his Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill.

But because his voltage wasn't strong enough yet, he hadn't achieved the effect of instant movement by relying on lightning.

How should I put it?

Both Martial Skills had their own merits.

Maintaining the thundercloud required constant consumption of True Qi, while this Instant Shadow Return to Origin Pact did not.

“Then I'll reluctantly accept it,” Shen Bei said, baring his small white teeth.

Bai Wei's eyes crinkled with a smile, and she raised a hand, signaling Shen Bei to begin.

Shen Bei organized his thoughts and said, “Where should I start? Hmm… I guess I have to start with a woman.”

Hearing this, Bai Wei tilted her head.

Huh?

What did you and Zhuang Bifan go to the underground for?

How did a woman get involved?

“This woman is named Fang Nanxi…”

…

Shen Bei rambled on about his underground trip for nearly two hours.

And this was Shen Bei only highlighting the key points.

If he had elaborated, he could have talked for at least three days and three nights.

If it were a novel, it would be the outline of a eunuch author who ran away.

However, although some details were omitted, all the necessary information was there.

After slowly digesting the news, Bai Wei remained silent for nearly ten minutes.

She was as if time had stopped, pondering something.

Shen Bei had drunk three cans of Wangzai Milk before Bai Wei finally came to her senses.

The amount of information was simply too vast!

It made Bai Wei unable to help but doubt: “Are you sure everything you said wasn't exaggerated?”

Shen Bei spread his hands and leaned back in the car seat: “You can also ask Zhuang Bifan; he participated in everything except what happened inside the nine-story pagoda.”

Bai Wei took a deep breath.

Her head was still buzzing.

According to Shen Bei's narration, from encountering Fang Nanxi, leading to Fang Han, and obtaining the odd object mask.

Then, at Wala Mountain, he used the odd object mask to sneak into Cold Water Town.

Following the Lengshui River, they reached the mountain where Yun Zhiyi's team had originally arrived.

Then they entered the barrier.

Inside the nine-story pagoda, he obtained what Yun Zhiyi called the Martial Dao Pinnacle.

“So, the Martial Dao Pinnacle means there's a Divine Power Realm above the Martial God Realm, which can extend life?”

Bai Wei muttered.

Actually, Shen Bei didn't tell the whole story here; he deliberately hid a part. It could indeed extend life.

But the true result was not just about extending life; it was about achieving Immortality.

Immortality and extending life were not the same concept at all.

Shen Bei also didn't reveal the three ways to achieve Immortality.

Of course, the most effective way for Shen Bei to achieve this goal, and his thinking was the same as Yun Zhiyi's, was to experience life, taste all walks of life, increase his understanding, and thus achieve Immortality in reverse.

Such important intelligence, Shen Bei would not be foolish enough to blurt it out just to show off how amazing he was and that he knew everything.

Human selfishness was also a human instinct.

No one could find fault with that.

Bai Wei summarized again: Originally, Shen Bei and Zhuang Bifan could have ended their journey and returned after coming out of the barrier.

But Zhuang Bifan's arm was severed, and although it could be reattached with surgery after returning to the surface.

It was clearly not as convenient as coming to Shenxiu Lake, and more importantly, there were no sequelae.

Then the two traveled a long distance and entered the North Mansion.

There, they killed Heaven-Shaking Slave, one of the Eight Great Killers, and captured a member of the royal family.

Bai Wei's gaze fell on Shen Bei, and her fair neck involuntarily swallowed, her face filled with shock: “What a… truly amazing journey.”

Shen Bei waved his hand, with an arrogant expression: “Even a dignified Ten Heavenly King, the head of the Northeast Military Region, a Martial God-level Bai Wei, knows how to flatter?”

Thwack…

Bai Wei angrily flicked Shen Bei's forehead, then put on a cold and ethereal demeanor, looking at Shen Bei without reservation: “Stop messing around with me.”

However, it had to be said that something even the Ten Heavenly Kings couldn't accomplish, Shen Bei had managed to resolve by accident.

It truly was a miracle that made one look at him with new eyes!

Of course, Zhuang Bifan's contribution was also undeniable.

But Bai Wei knew in her heart that if anyone else had gone into the underground with Zhuang Bifan and encountered such a situation, they would not have actively attacked but would have sought a stable retreat.

It was simply that Shen Bei's aggressiveness was like that of a mad dog.

Shen Bei rubbed his head and snorted, then asked instead: “Now it's my turn. What's with this formation?”

Shen Bei's question was very obvious, naturally referring to the other three Martial God Eight Grandmothers and others in the car behind.

Bai Wei had nothing to hide: “About four months ago, Mr. General, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings guarding the northwest border, encountered Heaven-Shaking Slave outside the country. Originally, there was no conflict between them.”

“After all, Heaven-Shaking Slave only appeared outside the national border and had no intention of crossing into our country.”

“According to other people at the scene, Heaven-Shaking Slave was driving dozens of civilians into a ravine at that time, beheading them one by one. When General and others saw it, almost half the people were already dead.”

“Originally, this had nothing to do with our country; the dead were people from a neighboring country.”

“But you have to know, countries have borders, but some ethnic groups… do not have borders.”

Hearing this, Shen Bei nodded.

Shen Bei agreed with this point.

National borders were very clear; where they were was where they were.

But for an ethnic group living nearby, it was different.

Especially in the southwest and northwest regions, it was very normal for ethnic groups to extend into neighboring countries.

The most typical example was the Mongolian ethnic group in the north.

“You should also know what happened.” Bai Wei sighed: “Those border guards naturally couldn't stand by. They were compatriots of the same ethnic group. Although they belonged to two different countries, their Bloodline was connected.”

“Some impulsive, red-eyed soldiers opened fire to stop Heaven-Shaking Slave, and once the shots were fired, things became irreversible.”

“General engaged Heaven-Shaking Slave in a fight. According to intelligence, they fought for a long time in the neighboring country, eventually falling into that country's underground, and completely lost contact ever since.”

Bai Wei paused briefly, straightened her back, and took a sip of water to moisten her throat: “Both sides have been missing for over four months. During this time, we thought General had probably already fallen, and even his memorial service had been held…”

“But yesterday, Zhuang Bifan called back and briefly explained, who would have thought things would take such a turn?”

“They smashed General's tombstone overnight.”

“It seems that General still has a high probability of being alive in the Central Continent imperial city, and we can use the Gu Jiu you captured alive for an exchange.”

Bai Wei pointed to the vehicle behind: “The four of us Martial Gods will go down together and try to bring General back.”

“Of course, the big boss said to convey a greeting: Young and promising, with outstanding achievements, many thanks for your hard work.”

Shen Bei grinned: “By Opportunity, just a Do it as you please.”

“Being overly humble is being hypocritical.” Bai Wei patted Shen Bei's shoulder: “The affirmation for you is based on facts, and you deserve it.”

“Then I won't be polite.”

Shen Bei rubbed his hands: “A thousand words are not as good as some tangible benefits. How about more money?”

Bai Wei: …
