Bai Sanxiang bared his teeth and said, "Corpse Evil is quite troubleso to deal with, and thankfully, this one was just at the Third-stage Early Stage. If it had been in the mid-stage, you wouldn’t be seeing now."
"Corpse Evil? Corpse Dog?"
Xu Shu subconsciously touched his waist, thinking about the red-haired Corpse Dog inside.
It seed that Bai Sanxiang had been attacked by a Third-tier Yang God·Corpse Dog?
Indeed, this thing was formidable. When I was about the sa level, I had also suffered from it... Unfortunately, it seed that Bai Sanxiang had killed that Corpse Dog, otherwise, it could have been used to feed the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, a Tier three suffix Evil Spirit, which is very rare.
Xu Shu did not dwell on this, instead, he queried, "Is it necessary to be wary of even our own people?"
He was referring to how Bai Sanxiang had just been seriously injured but still tried to act nonchalant.
Bai Sanxiang sighed, "I have to be cautious. Haha, you probably can’t guess who the insider Old Yu talked about is, damn it..."
Xu Shu interrupted, "Could it be the stationed Demigod?"
Bai Sanxiang, "...you dare to guess that? And you guessed right?"
"If you say it like that and I still can’t guess, I’d be a fool," replied Xu Shu.
Xu Shu recalled what the Archbishop had left behind, saying that the thing would spread through mory and that those infected would definitely beco an internal traitor. He couldn’t help but take a couple of steps back.
He scrutinized Bai Sanxiang, sowhat unsure in his heart.
Could Bai Sanxiang be the insider?
But their plans had all failed, did they still need an insider?
After a brief contemplation, Xu Shu nonchalantly asked, "Did Master Han Mo betray us?"
Bai Sanxiang shook his head, "Not him. It was Zou Wanqing. She is the Fertility Venerable who, while everyone was discussing asking for assistance from the headquarters, ambushed and killed Master Han, perishing together with him."
"What surprised was that there were two insiders among us, even Ning Baishou betrayed us! He, for a divinity..." Bai Sanxiang suddenly paused, then continued, "For an artifact, beca a dog for the Jianqi Sect, using a special thod to destroy the Star Tower!"
Xu Shu’s ears perked up.
Ah?
Ning Baishou destroyed the Star Tower?
Then who am I?
He did not interrupt but continued listening.
In a few sentences, Bai Sanxiang recounted his experience of being trapped in the Star Tower.
In his description, after Zou Wanqing ambushed Han Mo, she was struck down by the Star Tower, and the two Demigods perished together.
Afterwards, Master Han’s three disciples, according to the ergency managent regulations, prepared to activate the Star Tower’s special alert mode, which, according to them, would make the Star Tower enter a state of ’encountering gods, killing gods, and encountering Buddhas, killing Buddhas,’ highlighting its invincibility.
However, just at that mont, Ning Baishou poured out a black liquid using a bizarre, begging bowl-like object, took control of the Star Tower’s core, and trapped everyone there.
About half an hour later, at noon, the core of the Star Tower was destroyed, and the Star Tower collapsed. The people narrowly escaped death and were able to flee to safety.
This event was confird by Bai Sanxiang and the high-ranking officials who had not entered the core of the Star Tower but had remained outside to guard it. The eerie black blood river that enveloped the Star Tower matched exactly the black liquid Ning Baishou poured out from his bowl.
Xu Shu was taken aback.
He had been worried that pulling out the tower three tis might bring hatred upon him—even though his intentions were good, destroying the Star Tower was an undeniable fact.
He had wanted to keep this matter hidden, but surprisingly, soone else had taken the heat for it.
What Ning Baishou held wasn’t a black bowl; it was more of a scapegoat...
Of course, Xu Shu would not confess voluntarily, but said hesitantly, "The na Ning Baishou sounds familiar. He seems to be..."
"Haha, everyone in the safe zone knows his na. He’s the Director of the Supervision Bureau who climbed his way up from being a Scavenger!" Bai Sanxiang said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
He sighed deeply, "No one would have guessed that Ning Baishou, a man revered by millions and placed prominently in the public eye, would also betray the Human Clan for a breakthrough to the Fourth Realm, to beco a Demigod..."
"So it’s him... What did you just say? Breakthrough to the Fourth Realm?" Xu Shu interjected.
Bai Sanxiang grunted, realizing he had misspoken. After a mont of thought, he decided to confess, "Mmm, people from the Jianqi Sect promised him a share of divinity. With this divinity, he would successfully break through the shackles and step into the threshold of the Fourth Realm, thereby transcending the constraints of his life form and becoming a being that is half-human, half-demigod...
"Sigh, perhaps I have no right to bla him. If it were , I might not be able to resist such a temptation either..."
Bai Sanxiang seed to fall into deep thought.
Xu Shu found this peculiar.
He had thought that Ning Baishou had also been contaminated by that "mory" and thus had betrayed them.
But upon further reflection, that didn’t seem right, because the "Fertility Venerable" Zou Wanqing, who was a Demigod and had betrayed, was most likely the one contaminated by the mory. Thus, Ning Baishou, who had been there at the ti and had preditated plans, definitely hadn’t been contaminated.
All this for a betrayal to ascend to the Fourth Realm?
Xu Shu couldn’t understand.
Ascending to Fourth-order, isn’t it just a matter of having the hands to do it?
Like himself, once reaching Third-tier full level, eating a "Curse Seal," wouldn’t that make him Fourth-order?
What is this divinity?
Is that thing necessary?
Xu Shu didn’t quite understand the world of these people, though he noted this information.
But now was not the ti to discuss these matters.
After understanding the situation, he tentatively concluded that Bai Sanxiang was probably not contaminated—if he were, he wouldn’t need to reveal everything. He could totally withhold information, especially the matter about the bowl and Ning Baishou—therefore, Xu Shu chose to believe him eighty percent.
