288: Shadow warns: root out the problem

Baili Ziyuan fell silent as he looked at the ferocious great snake poised to strike. The great snake was only left with its head and a small portion of its body. Although far less formidable than before, the aura it emitted still made his heart palpitate.

Moreover, a portion of his Divine Soul power had already been taken by the opponent, so fighting further was meaningless.

"You win!"

Baili Ziyuan put away the Netherworld Gate. After all, every second it was summoned consumed his energy.

Furthermore, he was currently in a virtualized state, and the consumption in this state was not much less than that of the Netherworld Gate.

Seeing this, Shadow's thoughts moved, and the surrounding darkness dissipated, everything returning to its original state.

Baili Ziyuan was startled, because they were no longer at the previous battlefield, but above a forest.

He hadn't expected that Shadow not only possessed such a strange ability but could also take him away silently.

As if seeing through his confusion, Shadow merely smiled slightly, "People from the Great Eagle Country died here. They will definitely send people, although not immediately, it won't take long. So it's better to evacuate quickly.

Also, I advise you to put away your little schemes. If you dare to disobey Master's command, there will be Sequencers who will directly suppress and kill you without Master needing to act."

Baili Ziyuan's pupils constricted. He didn't retort, because at the moment he knew almost nothing.

But from the strength of the Shadow before him, he could guess that there were definitely powerful Sequencers above him.

"With my strength, where do I rank among the current Sequencers?"

He asked tentatively, but Shadow shook his head, "I don't know about that either, because Master has almost no constraints on us, and Sequencers were created by Him casually.

How many Sequencers there are currently and what their strength is, probably only Master Himself knows.

However, from what I know, there are many who can easily abuse and kill you."

His words were not exaggerated. Although Baili Ziyuan's ability was very abnormal, suitable for combat, and his method of improving strength was also clear, it was still far from enough.

First is the issue of combat power. Shadow admitted that his own strength wasn't particularly strong, but Baili Ziyuan couldn't deal with him.

Furthermore, when fighting the Deep Sea Mad Python earlier, Baili Ziyuan barely managed to suppress it even with all his might. Although it was also astonishing, compared to the few individuals he knew, it was still too far off.

Thinking back then, when Luo Xiu had just broken through to Martial Lord Fourth Stage, he nearly suppressed and killed a strong expert at Wu Jun Late Stage. That was a member of the Dragon Group, and their combat power was definitely extremely strong among those of the same rank.

Then there was Galan, her combat power goes without saying. Shadow could boldly guess that if this 011, Baili Ziyuan, didn't have that virtualization ability, he probably couldn't even withstand one sword strike from her.

After all, that person was someone who could directly contend with a Martial Lord while only in the Wu Zong Realm. The difference is self-evident.

Yue Shan had obtained new potions, and among all the Sequencers, he had received the most potions, up to three times. His strength and potential were even recognized by Lord Luo Xiu.

As for the potential and strength of 005 Luyin and 006 Yang Shuo, they were both considerable, but he wasn't sure about their current specifics.

He didn't know much about the other Sequencers, and it was hard to speculate on the specifics, but these few alone were enough for 011, Baili Ziyuan, to have a tough time.

Baili Ziyuan fell silent. Although he didn't get a specific answer, Shadow's words confirmed the thoughts in his heart and also gave rise to a strong sense of crisis.

"How does He, or rather, the other Sequencers, view humans, well, how do they view Great Xia?"

Baili Ziyuan finally asked the question he cared about most. Originally, he wanted to ask about humans, but after thinking carefully, he decided against it.

After all, he himself had killed an unknown number of humans, although most were from Sakura Country, it was definitely not a small number.

Secondly, he didn't have a good impression of some foreign forces. If he had the chance, he would definitely take action.

Finally, considering his own situation, he didn't ask about humans but narrowed it down to Great Xia.

Great Xia raised him and taught him; his parents died fighting for Great Xia, and his former comrades were all Great Xia people. He didn't want to face them in battle.

Moreover, he had now joined the Great Xia Dragon Group, so he naturally cared about this issue.

"Why do you ask that? Were you from Great Xia before?"

Shadow looked at Baili Ziyuan with a sudden realization, "I suppose so, otherwise you wouldn't ask this question."

"What, are there also Sequencers who were from Great Xia before?"

Baili Ziyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. If it was really as he guessed, it might not be a bad thing for him or for Great Xia.

"There are a few, but it's hard to say what their attitude towards Great Xia is. Some like it, some dislike it, who knows."

Shadow waved his hand indifferently. Just then, densely packed Black Shadow Legion soldiers suddenly appeared around them.

Baili Ziyuan's gaze sharpened, and he gripped the death scythe in his hand, on guard.

These Black Shadow Legion soldiers individually merged into the shadows behind Shadow, while some handed over storage rings one by one.

In a short while, he had thousands of storage rings in his hand. Shadow nodded with satisfaction and put them away.

"This trip to Sakura Country can be considered a complete success. 011, Baili Ziyuan, don't forget you owe me a favor!"

With that, he directly merged into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Baili Ziyuan immediately released his Divine Soul to investigate at the first opportunity, but unfortunately, he found nothing. "Truly mysterious and unfathomable."

His expression was full of solemnity. This kind of method, appearing and disappearing without a trace, if used for assassination, he couldn't imagine who could stay on guard day and night.

"I wonder when I can break through to the King Realm."

That dark space earlier gave him immense shock. Just something similar to a nascent Domain made it difficult for him to contend.

If he had his own Domain, perhaps he wouldn't be afraid of Shadow's methods.

With a whoosh, Baili Ziyuan turned into a streak of light and flew towards the battlefield in the distance. He wouldn't be reconciled unless he saw the destruction of Sakura Country with his own eyes.

At this moment, the battlefield was littered with corpses. The bodies of countless Sea Beasts and people from Sakura Country were piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.

His eyes flickered with a faint, eerie glow, and in an instant, the situation within the entire Wang City was completely within his sight. After seeing clearly, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"As expected, there are still some fish that slipped through the net!"

The next moment, Baili Ziyuan stepped out, arriving at a mansion in the outskirts of Wang City in the blink of an eye.

It was silent inside, without any sign of life, but in his eyes, there were points of light beneath the ground, clearly indicating that it wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"Rumble!"

Baili Ziyuan directly punched downwards, instantly tearing the earth apart, and exclamations came from below.

"Kill!"

Two afterimages instantly broke through the crack and charged out, but Baili Ziyuan scoffed and flicked his finger. Instantly, the two figures were frozen in place.

"Heh, just two Shikigami at Wu Zong Peak. Do you really think you can hide from everyone?"
