I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 46 Go and kill Sun Wukong!

"Why are you so anxious?"

Lin Jiaolu sat in the carriage and asked in confusion, "Aren't you planning to wait here?"

"We have to make decisions in an emergency." Bai Xuan whipped the horse whip and the carriage sped towards the city exit. "Perhaps we shouldn't stay during the day."

Lin Jiaolu asked, "What happened?"

"It's not certain yet." Bai Xuan said: "I don't have a specific grasp of it, it's just... intuition."

When saying the word "intuition", Bai Xuan's tone was firm.

He was extremely confident in his conclusion, otherwise he would not have abruptly changed his course of action.

People live too long and accumulate too much experience, so they can easily see through what too many people are thinking. This is a huge difference in social experience.

He was all too familiar with malice.

Lin Jiaolu said "Oh" obediently, her eyes swept over the mutton pies on the street, licked her lips, and retracted her greedy gaze.

She did not realize that danger was coming, but she would not question Bai Xuan's decision. Xiaolu had the awareness of clinging to someone powerful, which meant not to have too many thoughts.

Soon we arrived at the city gate.

As soon as we arrived, we saw a large group of people in front of us.

A constable posted the document on a notice board on the city wall and announced loudly, "We just received news that bandits and thieves have infiltrated Wu County today. To prevent them from escaping, we need to seal the city gates and reopen them tomorrow. Fellow villagers, please return!"

The gate out of the city closed, and the onlookers had to leave in disappointment.

The common people and merchants would not go against the government, and it would not take up too much time in just one night.

But this document came too quickly and too coincidentally.

Lin Jiaolu looked at the blocked city gate, his expression slightly changed: "We can't get out."

Bai Xuan leaned against the seat secretly, revealing an expression of surprise: "How quick and decisive they are."

Lin Jiaolu came closer and asked, "Is this a coincidence? Or..."

"Everyone has a lucky mentality, but it's best to prepare for the worst." Bai Xuan said: "If it's not a coincidence, do you know what it means?"

"what?"

"We are trapped in this city, and... no one else outside knows our whereabouts."

Lin Jiaolu's eyes widened slightly, and then he asked, "But didn't the county government already send out the Flashing Bird message? The Ningguo Mansion should know about it soon, right?"

"How could we seal off Wu County without the approval of a high-ranking official in the county government?" Bai Xuan turned the carriage around and said, "I don't think the government even sent out a carrier pigeon. If it were me, I would never let any of this information leak out."

Xiaolu felt a chill in her heart. She had no confidence that she could escape from the confrontation with the county government in Wuhu County.

"It's not that bad." Lin Jiaolu grabbed Bai Xuan's sleeve and said, "It's okay to just blockade it for a day or two, but we can't blockade Wu County forever, right? After the city is opened, we can still go out."

"Do you know? You are very beautiful." Bai Xuan said suddenly.

The sudden praise made Lin Jiaolu blush instantly. She loosened her hands, shyly hiding her dancing eyebrows and saying, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden... I, I know I'm pretty."

Bai Xuan changed the subject: "You are very beautiful, so don't think too much about it."

Lin Jiaolu puffed up his cheeks: "What? So you're calling me stupid!"

"Since the other party came prepared, but only proposed to blockade Wu County for one day, what does this mean?" Bai Xuan asked back.

"It means..." Xiaolu couldn't figure it out.

"For example, if a swordsman, knowing there are tigers in the mountains, still chooses to go there, what does that mean?"

"Is he brave?"

"Other than that?"

"His swordsmanship must be very high." Xiaolu finished speaking, then suddenly realized: "The swordsman has the strength to defeat a tiger, so he is not afraid. The other party only blocked it for one night because they are confident that tonight..."

The little girl shrank her neck and her pretty face changed: "Oh no, we should leave the city this afternoon!"

She finally reacted.

Bai Xuan regained his composure and said, "Look at it from a bright side. At least you can have the lamb pie you've been craving."

Lin Jiaolu clutched his stomach and said, "I'm so anxious that my stomach hurts, how can I even think about eating?"

"Then you don't want to eat it?" Bai Xuan parked the carriage next to the mutton pie stall.

"I want two! No, three!"

Holding the hot mutton pie in his hand, Lin Jiaolu ate the hot delicacy with a happy face.

Do you like the lamb pie that you have tasted before and found yourself tired of, or do you remember the young man you mentioned casually?
She was a little confused and didn't have time to think deeply before she heard Bai Xuan ask calmly: "Do you know who is targeting us?"

"I... I have a lot of enemies in my family." Lin Jiaolu was uncertain.

"Anyone who can maintain a good relationship with the local county government and convince them to seal the city gates must be a native of Wu County. Moreover, this person's background will make the county magistrate feel apprehensive." Bai Xuan coaxed him, "Ordinary martial arts masters, even masters, may not have this ability. No matter how strong a person's martial arts skills are, they are still just one person."

"Isn't the Grandmaster enough for the county magistrate to fear?"

"Just being afraid is far from enough. If you want people to work for you, you need power and benefits." Bai Xuan said, "Grandmaster only represents deterrence, but how can you provide benefits?"

Lin Jiaolu concluded softly, "So this person has a powerful background and is a native of Wu County. He has deep vested interests with the officials in the local yamen...even the county magistrate needs to curry favor with him." Bai Xuan said, "Plus, he knows our identities."

"Lu Ziyu!" Lin Jiaolu blurted out, with anger flashing in his eyes. He stood up suddenly and hit his head on the roof of the carriage. With a thud, he fell back down.

"Ouch!"

She covered her head with her hands and waved her fists angrily: "How dare he, how dare he!"

"Of course it's for you." Bai Xuan smiled. "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady...and a villain loves a beautiful lady too. It's not surprising, not surprising."

"But he thought that if he left me in Wu County, I would obey him?"

Lin Jiaolu's eyes revealed a haughty disdain, and his smile was tinged with a bit of acquired pride and coldness: "Does he deserve it?"

Xiaolu is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family. In terms of nobility, the legitimate daughter of the Lin family is even more noble than the princesses born out of wedlock and the daughters of princes.

She was happy to peel oranges for Bai Xuan and did not resist physical contact with him because they had shared life and death together.

If it were anyone else, even if they just got closer, she would instinctively resist. Being able to not show any displeasure was a testament to her excellent upbringing. So who was Lu Ziyu to become?

"Lu Ziyu is from the Fanyang Lu family branch and has a strong influence in Wu County. His goal might be to have you visit the Lu family."

"Just a visitor?" Lin Jiaolu gnashed his teeth with a pie. "I don't believe it."

"Once you enter the Lu family's gate, your freedom will no longer be yours. So no matter what his plan is, letting him take the initiative is a foolish act of seeking death. People must learn to save themselves in the end."

Bai Xuan recalled a classic line from a villain: "One must rely on oneself."

"What do we do now?"

"I just told you to rely on yourself, how come you forgot?" Bai Xuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Aren't you one of us?" The little deer gave him an innocent look. "How could I not trust you?"

...If I were younger, these words might have moved my heart for a few seconds.

...It's a pity that I'm already an old guy.

...Even the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty had to call me Lao Deng.

Bai Xuan shook his head and said, "I really can't rely on you this time. I have to rely on you to break the deadlock."

"Me?" Lin Jiaolu pointed at himself, looking confused. "What can I do? Break through the checkpoint?"

"I'm very busy tonight." Bai Xuan pressed her shoulders: "And there is only one thing you need to do."

A handsome face suddenly came close, and Xiaolu's heart beat faster... Oh no, oh no, it's a beauty trap!

Just as she was lost in thought, Bai Xuan exerted force with both hands, twisting her ninety degrees and facing the side of the carriage...

It was the newly built horse-pressing platform of the current dynasty.

At this time, Anmatai was covered with a dark red halo under the setting sun.

A young man holding a long knife was confronting a gunman who stepped onto the ring.

This is World War 1.

It was also his second-to-last battle to make the list.

Ten wins in ten out of the four tests to reach the top of the list. The closer it gets to the end, the stronger the challenger will be.

Because all true warriors want to be included in the Book of Bu Tian.

The trial-takers who have achieved eight consecutive victories are the best stepping stones for challengers.

Therefore, the two real warriors on the stage at this moment both had a bit of hostility in their eyes, and this battle was bound to be a real fight.

This battle lasted for three minutes.

It's quite intense, even fatal.

Both sides fought fiercely, and in the end the challenger made a wrong judgment and was severely injured by a knife, falling to the ground.

The young man holding a long sword, dragged his injured body, and drew the symbol of the ninth victory on the challenge flag, announcing that he had won nine consecutive victories.

Super God!

Only one step away from making the list!
Some people cheered and the audience was very excited.

It’s just that the tenth challenger won’t be on stage for the time being.

Bai Xuan gently patted Lin Jiaolu's shoulder: "Did you see clearly?"

"See what clearly?"

"Your opponent."

"?"

Bai Xuan spoke slowly in her confused and puzzled eyes.

"Next, you have to defeat the man on the stage and put an end to his super godhood."

"Huh? I'm on a nine-game winning streak?"
