"Xiao Ning is different from other people. Have you noticed this?"
The master asked.
When Tianbao Taoist heard this, he immediately replied: "That's right, this person is not an ordinary cultivator."
Xiao Ning is a reborn person, he has long known this from Lin Yu.
So when the master asked, he naturally felt the same way.
"Okay, now that you know, then things will be much simpler."
The Lord continued: "Xiao Ning will only be a disaster if he remains in the world, so I must get rid of him."
"Before that, Taiyi was helping me do this."
"Tai Yi?" After hearing this, Taoist Tianbao finally understood why Tai Yi was chasing Xiao Ning.
It turned out to be because there was such a master instructing him to do things.
But why did this expert instruct Tai Yi to kill Xiao Ning? Is Xiao Ning really such a big threat?
"But it's also possible."
Taoist Tianbao nodded secretly.
He just suddenly thought of Master Lin.
He came here this time because Master Lin asked him to balance the strength between Xiao Ning and Tai Yi.
It can be seen that Xiao Ning is indeed a greater threat than imagined, but Immortal Lin did not explain it to him in detail.
The Lord continued to speak in the sea of consciousness of Taoist Tianbao: "You have also seen what happened later. Taiyi did not complete my mission in the end. He failed."
"That's right." Taoist Tianbao answered.
He had witnessed almost all of this, so he naturally knew it well.
"So, I want to leave it to you to handle Taiyi's failure."
The Lord formally stated his intention.
When Taoist Tianbao heard this, he thought that this guy was not interested and actually made such a request directly.
Judging from what the other party meant, it seemed as if he, Taoist Tianbao, was already his subordinate.
"Why do you think I would do something for you?"
Taoist Tianbao asked in his mind.
The Lord said calmly: "Because you will definitely agree to the conditions I propose?"
"So confident? Then you should come and listen."
Taoist Tianbao became interested.
He wanted to see what kind of conditions this self-proclaimed master could offer.
"I can help you gain real power, a power you have never seen before that will subvert your imagination."
The Lord spoke.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Tianbao immediately asked curiously: "Unimaginable power? What exactly is it? A method like Xiao Ning's method of resurrecting flesh and blood?"
"More than that, it's more powerful than that."
The master said with great confidence.
It seems that in his eyes, the method of resurrecting flesh and blood is just a small technique.
"Okay, I believe there is such a powerful force. Then the question becomes, how can you prove that you can do this?"
Taoist Tianbao asked directly.
Now the master's purpose has been understood, and the other party's conditions have been revealed.
So what he is most concerned about now is the origin of this master and what kind of strength the other party has.
"I can speak directly into your head. Isn't that proof enough?"
The Lord asked rhetorically.
"It does prove something."
Taoist Tianbao agreed.
This can indeed prove the master's powerful strength. He was alert just now because the other party spoke directly in his mind.
"I think this is enough." The Lord emphasized.
Tianbao Taoist saw that the master refused to say anything, so he said: "Okay, it's okay if you don't say anything, but I must explain one thing to you, I will not cooperate with you."
"Um?"
The master immediately snorted in annoyance.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
The Lord threatened.
Seeing the unkind tone of the other party, Tianbao Taoist's heart skipped a beat.
He was indeed afraid of this mysterious master, but he also really didn't want to cooperate with him.
What he was thinking about at this moment was to go back and report the situation to Immortal Lin so that Master Lin could know that Taiyi was dead.
"Give you two choices, either I kill you or cooperate with me."
Dominate the road with an ultimatum.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Tianbao fell silent.
He didn't doubt the other party's determination, but he doubted whether the other party had the ability to kill him.
Because if this guy really has the ability to kill, then why not kill Xiao Ning himself?
Why do you have to let him or Taiyi do this?
It can be seen from this that the other party should not be able to directly kill people, but must use some indirect means.
"Give you a minute to make your choice."
The Lord said in a deep voice.
Taoist Tianbao continued to remain silent.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat were already oozing out on his forehead.
These sweat beads gradually gathered together, and eventually turned into large beads of sweat rolling down from the forehead and down the cheeks.
Taoist Tianbao swallowed unconsciously and looked a little nervous.
What is now 100% certain is that this guy who claims to be the master is indeed extremely powerful.
But how far this strength can be shown is still a question mark.
Taoist Tianbao was afraid that the other party just couldn't kill Xiao Ning, but it would be easy to kill someone like him or Taiyi.
After all, as he said just now, this Xiao Ning is special and not an ordinary cultivator.
"What should I do? If I agree to his words, Immortal Lin may blame me, but if I don't agree to his words..."
Taoist Tianbao has a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Such a choice is indeed too difficult for him, after all, it is a matter of life and death.
"Remind you, there are still ten seconds."
The master's voice appeared in Tianbao Taoist's ears again.
Taoist Tianbao immediately shuddered.
There are still ten seconds left, and he must make a choice quickly.
Should I agree or not?
After struggling for a while, Taoist Tianbao gritted his teeth and said in his mind: "Forgive me for not being able to agree to your conditions."
"Very well, then you just wait to die."
The Lord said in a deep voice.
Taoist Tianbao shuddered again and looked around with great vigilance.
He didn't know what would happen next. Maybe his body would suddenly explode, or maybe a force would suddenly appear around him and attack him.
In short, judging from the tone of the master's words, the other party is serious.
He was really prepared to take his life.
Time passes minute by minute.
Almost a full minute passed, and Taoist Tianbao did not wait for any results.
During this period, the master never said a word.
It seemed that the other party had already left his mind.
"Sure enough, this guy can't kill me directly, but has to use some indirect method."
Taoist Tianbao breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as the opponent doesn't kill him all at once, he still has a chance to make a comeback.
And his support is none other than Master Lin.
"Quickly, go back to the mountain and report this to Immortal Lin!"
Taoist Tianbao waved his hand and wiped away the sweat that was constantly rolling down. Then he moved his body and flew towards the east at an extremely fast speed.
He now wished he could see Master Lin immediately and explain everything he had seen and heard today and everything he had encountered.
I believe that Master Lin will definitely take action to help him deal with the threat from the master after knowing the situation.
…
In the underground maze.
Xiao Ning was still sitting on the floor with his eyes closed, practicing with the potion he had taken.
Varuk, on the other hand, stood aside under the surveillance of the monster.
Of course, Varuk didn't seem to move at all, looking honest and humble.
But in fact, he was thinking rapidly in his heart, thinking about ways to escape.
"What should I do, what should I do? What should I do to get rid of this devil and survive?"
Varuk was distraught.
Because Xiao Ning made it very clear before that if he cooperated well, he would die quickly, but there would still be no way to survive.
But he doesn't want to die, he wants to live.
"I have worked hard for so many years and I am about to heal my injury. How could I die like this?"
"No, I want to live, I must live."
Varuk screamed crazily in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Ning suddenly opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look at him.
"Varuk, don't daydream there, you are doomed this time!"
Xiao Ning said with a threatening tone.
Varuk was suddenly shocked and instinctively took a few steps back.
At this time, Xiao Ning was the image of a devil in his eyes. As a result, the devil seemed to be able to see through his heart and suddenly threatened him again.
"No, I definitely didn't think twice about it!"
Varuk quickly defended himself.
Xiao Ning snorted coldly and said: "Your behavior has betrayed you. If you really don't think about it, why do you back away when I speak?"
"No, really not!"
Varuk almost collapsed and was talking incoherently.
In fact, he was already a little desperate and began to accept his fate.
"Humph, there is no best." Xiao Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense with Varuk and directly ordered: "Go and get some more medicinal materials, the same as the ones just now."
"well."
Varuk agreed repeatedly and walked towards the entrance of the passage numbly as he spoke.
Upon seeing this, the monster followed closely, closely monitoring Varuk's every move.
"Am I really going to die like this?"
Varuk thought unwillingly as he walked.
His mind was now completely confused and confused.
After all, he really didn't want to die, but the reality was cruel.
"This monster has been following me. I can't escape even if I want to."
"And even if I can go out now, my time for activities is very limited and I can only be active at night."
Varuk became more and more desperate.
His injury has not healed yet, so he cannot move around during the day and can only choose to stay at night.
This means that even if he successfully escapes from Xiao Ning, he will not be able to escape very far.,
Xiao Ning will catch up with him soon.
"Hey, it's over, it's really over!"
Varuk's whole body was on the verge of collapse, and his mind was filled with desperate thoughts.
Next, he went to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored and took out the medicinal materials that Xiao Ning needed.
After doing all this, he walked numbly towards the room where Xiao Ning was.
All movements seemed mechanical, without any vitality.
"Don't worry, as long as you are honest and obedient, you can at least die a happy death. I don't think you want to be tortured to death, right?"
Xiao Ning saw Varuk walking listlessly and threatened.
"Yes, yes."
Varuk replied numbly.
When Xiao Ning saw this, he said nothing more and just ordered: "Hurry up and make me the medicine, just like the medicine just now."
"yes."
Varuk agreed and began to refine medicine for Xiao Ning.
After a lot of hard work, the magic potion was successfully refined. Xiao Ning took the potion and began to meditate.
Varuk, on the other hand, stood aside blankly again, being monitored by the monster.
"It seems there is really no hope this time, hey."
Varuk was completely desperate at this time.
When he was just refining the medicine, he had been thinking about whether there was a way to take out Xiao Ning's claws.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he found that there was no hope at all.
Because Xiao Ning had countermeasures in every way he could think of.
In other words, no matter what action he takes, he will eventually be destroyed by Xiao Ning.
"Forget it, that's it."
Varuk sighed secretly.
Now he deeply regrets in his heart, regrets that he should not have provoked Xiao Ning, and regrets that he did not run away earlier when Xiao Ning and Taiyi had a conflict.
If he had to do it again, he decided to choose to hide quietly in the underground castle of Cass City to recuperate instead of trying to take advantage of Xiao Ning, Taiyi and others.
Of course, it would be useless to regret now. Regret would only bring him pain.
"Just give up like that?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Varuk's mind.
Varuk immediately raised his head alertly and looked back and forth to check his surroundings.
This voice appeared so suddenly and still appeared in his mind, there was definitely something wrong.
But the problem is, there is nothing strange in this room now.
The monster had been standing quietly not far away, watching him, while Xiao Ning was meditating in another direction with his eyes closed.
So, where does this sound come from?
Who is talking to him?
Countless questions popped up in Varuk's mind.
However, he was just curious and had no worries or other emotions in his heart.
After all, his situation couldn't get any worse, it was just a matter of death.
"It's not that I want to give up, but that I have no choice."
Varuk thought for a moment and replied to the other party.
Originally, he wanted to ask about the other person's origins, but then he thought about the point of asking, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Aren't you curious about who I am and why I'm talking to you in your head?"
The voice said with great interest.
Varuk thought for a while and replied: "You must know my current situation, so you can answer this question yourself."
When the voice came up and asked him if he had given up just like that, didn't it mean that the other party knew his current situation?
So Varuk felt that the other party was asking questions knowingly.
The other party must be very aware of his current situation and why he has no choice.
"Yes, at least your mind is still clear."
The voice said calmly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.
Varuk asked: "So what are you trying to say to me? Are you just teasing me?"
"Of course not, I'm not that free."
The voice denied.
"Then what is your purpose?" Varuk asked.
Although he was still desperate, he saw some hope in the conversation with this voice.
Maybe, I can really have a turn for the better and hope to survive.
"I'm here to help you. I have a way to keep you alive."
In Varuk's expectation, the voice said something that surprised him.
