If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 177 Obtaining the Remains
In the ethereal mountains and rivers, everything seems real and illusory, like a dream and fog.

Although it is a shadow in a painting and a flower in a mirror, it is beautiful enough if you ignore the slightly fake parts.

However, all these picturesque scenes were transformed into countless ruins under the horrific attacks from both sides.

The ruins, wrapped in horror and decay, are shocking.

"You can be killed."

When Shen Bai's fingers brushed across the Hanyue Sword, he slowly said these words, which were like ice under the ground, making people shiver all over.

Abbot Xuanzhen and others were all stunned and did not react for a long time.

They even wondered if they had heard wrongly.

us?

Can he be killed?

Taoist Qi Huang pointed at Shen Bai and laughed heartily, "You irrelevant little thing, you have been given too many titles in the martial arts world, and you have forgotten your true abilities."

"The Void Transformation Realm is like a mountain at each level. Moreover, we have two peak-level beings at the Void Transformation Realm. Can you kill them?"

"Laughing your teeth off only adds to the laughter."

Piaoxu's expression was cold: "What are you talking about? Kill him and avenge my brother Wang Tianxing!"

"I'll give you Bai Zhen's remains, just kill him!"

Lu Cheng frowned, looked at Piaoxu, and said nothing.

He didn't expect Piaoxu to say such words for revenge, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he didn't say anything to refute.

Shen Bai showed a look of sudden realization and said, "So she is Wang Tianxing's sister. That loser who exploited the dead world still has people thinking about her. She can be said to have died with peace of mind."

The coldness in Piaoxu's eyes deepened: "You are looking for death!"

Pink mist, accompanied by terrifying ribbons, swept towards Shen Bai.

The attacks from the rest of the people also came in an instant.

This time, Abbot Xuanzhen used a powerful move.

The terrifying black color covered Abbot Xuanzhen's entire body, and pieces of ashes appeared out of thin air in this space.

"The Buddha said, when all things are in silence, they return to their origins."

The ashes were filled with death and coldness, revealing a hopeless silence.

Each piece of ash is extremely terrifying. If this ash-like thing falls on Nanxing Prefecture for a while, the entire Nanxing Prefecture will probably fall into a terrible disaster.

"If I say I can kill, then I can kill."

Buddha's light emerged behind Shen Bai.

The blazing Buddha light exudes holiness and solemnity.

He and the ashes turned into endless bear flames.

The Dharma image is golden like a giant and moves suddenly.

The ashes shattered, and scars appeared on Shen Bai's body.

But he seemed unaware of it, and each of his punches was extremely firm. After crushing the ashes, he swept straight towards Abbot Xuanzhen.

"Zhuzi, how dare you!"

Taoist Qi Huang said angrily: "Wild Dao method, Qianqiu Wheel!"

Taoist Qihuang was seen making hand gestures with his hands, and a Taoist shadow appeared behind him.

With a wave of dust, the time and space around them quickly slowed down.

He also used a big move because when Shen Bai said the word "killable", he felt a little uneasy.

Having been in the martial arts world for many years and even in charge of the wild Taoist sect in Nanxing Prefecture, Taoist Qihuang trusts his intuition very much, and this intuition has saved his life many times.

"Control the flow rate, slow down the speed, and I will slow you down too."

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body.

The next moment, the Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique appeared, using the heaven and earth as a formation to weaken the enemy and strengthen oneself.

On the ground, the lines of arrays were terrifying, revealing a sense of mystery and life and death.

"boom!"

There was a roar.

Abbot Xuanzhen showed a trace of cold sweat on his face. His palms came into contact with Shen Bai's fists, and the Qi in his body began to churn.

"Where did he learn such a powerful Buddhist boxing technique?"

The punch just now seemed calm, but it was dangerous.

Although he was not injured, he almost fell over due to the turbulence of his Qi.

On the other hand, Shen Bai had more scars on his body, but they recovered quickly with a flash of green light.

"Everyone use their special moves. The shadow in the painting can only last half an hour. We can't delay it."

Lu Cheng's body was covered in blood-red lines. He jumped high and hammered Shen Bai's head hard.

"Half an hour?"

Shen Bai first punched away the pink mist of Piaoxu, then used his backhand sword to push Lu Cheng back, saying, "It seems you are very anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai attacked Abbot Xuanzhen again.

"Why is this kid targeting me?!"

Abbot Xuanzhen was speechless.

I don’t know why, but Shen Bai actually pointed at him and hit him. It was outrageous.

But fortunately, he has the strength of the peak of the Void Realm, so he was able to remain unharmed.

"The more you point your finger at me, the more ferocious their attacks will become, and in the end, you will be the one to die," Abbot Xuanzhen thought to himself.

But just as he was thinking this, Shen Bai's sword suddenly changed direction.

"laugh!"

The cold moon turned into a cold light, carrying a blood-red sword energy, like a flower of death blooming, piercing through Lu Cheng's chest.

Lu Cheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"The people from Xinhuo Academy lack combat experience after all and got too close." Shen Bai drew out his sword calmly.

The cold moon was covered in blood.

Lu Cheng's eight extraordinary meridians and internal organs were shattered by Shen Bai in an instant.

The next moment, Lu Cheng's eyes lost their life force and he fell to the ground, motionless.

"Oh no, this guy is trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, Piaoxu, be careful!"

Abbot Xuanzhen shouted when he saw this.

He discovered that no matter what time it was, there was a hint of calmness in Shen Bai's eyes that ordinary people should not have.

Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you remain calm.

Just now, Shen Bai attacked himself repeatedly in order to paralyze others.

And now, Shen Bai succeeded.

With just one sword strike, Lu Cheng, who was in the middle stage of Huaxu realm, died instantly.

Piaoxu was shocked when she saw this.

She found that Shen Bai had already cast his eyes on her.

An afterimage flashed past.

Shen Bai used his supernatural power to travel thousands of miles and appeared in front of Piaoxu in an instant.

"You are Wang Tianxing's sister. You should go down and accompany her now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai's hand was wrapped in Buddha's light and grabbed Piaoxu's hair.

The next moment, the cold moon penetrated Piaoxu's chest.

Blood spilled into the sky, and blood-red sword energy covered the earth.

Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang were unable to stop this scene, because Shen Bai was very close to Piaoxu, and coupled with his amazing body skills, he was simply impossible to defend against.

"You..." Piaoxu opened her mouth and wanted to speak.

"Go in peace."

Shen Bai took out Han Yue and said lightly: "I will let all the people from the Nanxing Mansion Academy come to accompany you."

"Pfft!"

The body fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then there was no movement.

"Two left."

Shen Bai shook off the blood on Han Yue, looked at Abbot Xuan Zhen and Taoist Qi Huang with cold eyes, and said, "Are you ready?"

"You are not qualified to kill us." Taoist Qihuang sneered.

Piaoxu and Lu Cheng were only at the middle stage of Huaxu realm, so it was normal for them to be killed by Shen Bai.

But both of them have the strength of the peak of the Void Realm.

It is simply a pipe dream to think that they can be killed easily.

Shen Bai suddenly said, "It seems like time is running out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang changed.

The shadow in the painting only lasted half an hour, and now the fight has lasted for so long. If it continues like this, I'm afraid Shen Bai will escape.

"Go ahead, wipe it out at all costs!"

Abbot Xuanzhen rushed towards Shen Bai.

Now, all the people they brought with them have been killed by Shen Bai, even Piaoxu and Lu Cheng from the academy are dead.

After paying such a huge price, if we still can't kill Shen Bai, it would be a huge loss for our family.

Taoist Qihuang and Abbot Xuanzhen attacked Shen Bai without saying a word.

Every move between the two sides is a powerful one.

The scars on Shen Bai's body gradually deepened, but each time they were repaired by the green light of the poison-avoiding and soul-restoring technique.

The sixth level of poison avoidance and soul recovery technique has a terrifying recovery speed.

On the other hand, although Abbot Xuanzhen and the other man looked unharmed, their faces were covered with dense beads of cold sweat.

In their hearts, Shen Bai has become an extremely terrifying existence.

If they don't kill Shen Bai this time, they will be in big trouble once Shen Bai recovers and improves for a while.

But...how to kill!

They have already used all their means.

No matter how serious the injury is, Shen Bai can recover in an instant.

This kind of recovery ability is simply shameless!
Time gradually passes.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery began to change.

Waves of unstable aura flowed over the surrounding scenery.

The sounds of flowing water, birds singing, and insects chirping are getting smaller and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the sounds gradually became smaller, Abbot Xuanzhen knew that the shadow in the painting was disappearing.

"Ugh……"

Taoist Qi Huang suddenly sighed and said, "Now, there is only one way."

His eyes turned to the coffin.

Not only him, but also Abbot Xuanzhen is the same.

They admitted that, at least in this world in the painting, they could not kill Shen Bai.

Then all that is left is Bai Zhen’s remains.

As long as they get the coffin and wait until the world in the painting disappears, they will leave with Bai Zhen's body.

It's impossible that we fail to kill the person and lose a lot of manpower on our side, and we can't even get Bai Zhen's body, right?

If this is true, it will be a huge loss.

The two looked at each other and ran towards the coffin together.

Shen Bai looked at the actions of the two people and already knew exactly what they were thinking.

They knew they couldn't stop them.

The battle between the two sides has long been a stalemate.

but……

Is it that simple?
At this moment, the magical power of divination shows great luck.

Good luck, which means Shen Bai will be in control of the whole situation, and everything here will be in his favor.

"You can't get the remains of Bai Zhen."

Shen Bai raised Han Yue, and a blood-red sword energy burst out, slashing fiercely on the coffin.

Since you want this thing, just destroy it.

When the coffin was cut by the blood-red sword energy, it immediately broke into pieces.

Abbot Xuanzhen showed a look of horror on his face, and he and Taoist Qihuang retreated quickly.

"Aren't you afraid that the disease will turn the entire Nanxing Prefecture into hell?" Abbot Xuanzhen's face was full of disbelief.

When the coffin was broken into pieces, the situation inside the coffin emerged.

There was only a skeleton lying in the coffin.

Layer upon layer of illness is entangled on the dry bones.

Even Shen Bai felt frightened when he saw it.

Even the sixth-level poison avoidance and soul recovery technique is like this, let alone others.

With the sword energy just now, Shen Bai intended to destroy the coffin along with it.

But no one expected that the remains of Bai Zhen in the coffin would be so hard.

The disease above, as if protecting its master, devoured all the sword energy.

There was no strange smell, perhaps because the mineral vein was suppressed, and no strange smell came out.

The disease spread and swept towards Shen Bai and others.

Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang used their unique skills to isolate all diseases.

The light of the flawless ten-fold body and the poison-avoiding and soul-restoring technique rose from Shen Bai's body, eliminating all the diseases that attacked him.

"Shh!"

Shen Bai used his divine travel ability to travel thousands of miles, transformed into a shadow, and came in front of Bai Zhen's remaining body.

A crack appeared in front of us.

Without saying a word, Shen Bai grabbed Bai Zhen's remains and threw them into the crack.

Shen Bai treated this extremely rare body of Bai Zhen in the martial arts world as if it were a piece of trash.

"Now, the things are gone." Shen Bai said with a smile.

The injuries on his body had long since healed.

Abbot Xuanzhen looked grim.

The same is true for Taoist Qihuang, except that the word "gloomy" is written on his face.

They lost money.

blood loss.

All the elite members of the force died.

Even the precious and strange thing called the Shadow in the Painting is gone.

The most important thing is that Bai Zhen’s body is gone.

Now, there are only them and Shen Bai.

But they couldn't kill Shen Bai.

Because of the delay just now, the surrounding scenery has become completely blurred.

The figures of the three people were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before Shen Bai disappeared, both Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang heard a voice.

"Wait, I will come to you in person soon."

As soon as the words fell, the world of the shadow in the painting disappeared completely.

……

The outside world, a secret place.

As soon as he came out, Abbot Xuanzhen felt a cold gaze staring directly at him.

Abbot Xuanzhen looked at Taoist Qihuang with a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect this to happen. The Ye Buddhist Sect also suffered heavy losses. It's useless to blame me."

There was a hint of helplessness and deep fear in his words.

This fear comes from Shen Bai.

This young man is so terrifying that it is not an exaggeration to describe him as inhuman.

If he is given more time to grow, I'm afraid he will be able to go to Nanxing Prefecture.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Qi Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Things have come to this point. It's all due to greed."

"Instead of blaming each other, we should think about how we should deal with Shen Bai's revenge."

Before leaving, Shen Bai's words were still ringing in my ears.

Rumor has it that Shen Bai is a man of revenge.

If they wait until Shen Bai recovers, I'm afraid none of them will be able to escape.

"You think too much."

Abbot Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "Shen Bai can't find us."

These two forces have nothing else but many abilities to hide themselves.

Even if it is a method of divination, they can deal with it.

It was simply a pipe dream for Shen Bai to find them.

"After you go back, tell your superiors about it."

Taoist Qihuang also understood what he meant, with a hint of dejection in his eyes: "If you keep hiding and develop well, you may have a chance to kill Shen Bai in the future." He was a little bit unconvinced when he said this.

After all, if we can’t kill him now, how can we kill him in the future?
"We must kill him. Perhaps we can go find someone from Xinhuo Academy."

Abbot Xuanzhen's eyes lit up, and he said, "With Piaoxu and Lucheng dead, the people in the academy are even more frantic. They didn't lose any men this time, so perhaps there's a way to bring them down with them."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Qihuang nodded and said, "This is the only way. You have communicated with Xinhuo Academy before. Bring them down as soon as possible. After all, they are the only force that is still at its peak."

After the two of them discussed it, this was the only solution.

Although they were far away from the mine at this time, they were afraid that Shen Bai and his men would find them, so they quickly left this secret place.

The hidden place returned to silence, as if no one had ever been there.

……

In the cave under the mine.

Yao Long's expression became increasingly gloomy.

Almost half an hour had passed since Shen Bai disappeared.

After half an hour, they could not find any trace of Shen Bai.

"Sir Yao, we have already dispatched personnel to search the entire mine."

A member of the Tianjian Division stepped forward and said, "The mine is now safe. Fan Kai said it won't be moved anymore, so you can mine it at will. However, we still haven't found any trace of Lord Shen."

Yao Long gritted his teeth and said, "Keep looking. How long will it take for the two owners to arrive?"

The Tianjian Division member thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take another two incense sticks of time."

Yao Long sighed, and there was more worry in his eyes.

He now only hoped that Shen Bai was safe and that the other two homeowners could find Shen Bai as soon as possible after they arrived.

If something happens to Lord Shen, the sky will really fall in Nanxing Prefecture.

Thinking of this, Yao Long's eyes showed even more sorrow.

At this moment, something unusual suddenly occurred.

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking in the originally dark mine. The shaking was so strong that everyone present could feel it.

As the shaking began, deep cracks appeared on the ground, gradually spreading from the area where the shaking was most severe.

In a flash, it enveloped the entire surroundings.

"what's the situation?"

Seeing this unusual situation, everyone took out their weapons and became alert.

Yao Long shouted, "Be careful, it's likely the work of evil spirits."

Now, Lord Shen has been dragged into a strange place, and the two owners have not arrived yet. Now only he and the head of Department B are left with the members of the Tianjian Division.

If you encounter a dangerous situation, you may be caught off guard.

As Yao Long was thinking this, in the area where the crack was shaking most severely, a figure turned from blurry to clear, as if it suddenly appeared from a wrong time and space, and appeared in front of everyone.

When everyone saw the true form of this figure, their eyes widened.

Yao Long was obviously relieved. He took a few steps forward and bowed to the figure in front of him. There was a tremor in his voice: "I greet Lord Shen. I'm glad you're okay. You scared us to death just now."

Every word he said was extremely sincere, because Shen Bai's sudden disappearance really scared them half to death.

Shen Bai looked around and saw the familiar cave. His face showed neither joy nor sadness, but was very calm: "Has the mine returned to normal?"

Yao Long nodded. "The mine has long since returned to normal and can be mined smoothly. It's just that Bai Zhen Canku doesn't know where... What! Where is Bai Zhen Canku?"

Speaking of the remains of Bai Zhen, Yao Long realized that only Shen Bai came out.

He thought for a moment and said soothingly, "Master Shen, don't worry. Even if the remains of Bai Zhen are lost, it will take them some time to comprehend. While they're taking that time, we can mobilize all the personnel in the Tianjian Division to investigate. We'll eventually find some clues."

After Shen Bai was pulled into that strange place, Yao Long thought that he was in great danger. Now that Shen Bai came out, he was indeed relieved.

As for the disappearance of Bai Zhen's body, Yao Long didn't think it was a big deal.

As long as Lord Shen is still here, Nanxing Prefecture will not fall, and the Nanxing Prefecture Tianshi will prosper.

Although some unexpected things happened, we were always able to find solutions under the leadership of Lord Shen.

After hearing what Yao Long said, Shen Bai asked curiously, "Who told you that Bai Zhen's remains were taken by someone else?"

"what?"

Yao Long showed a hint of surprise on his face and asked, "Master Shen, the remains of Bai Zhen are not here. Could it be hidden somewhere else?"

He really didn't see Bai Zhen's remains, so he had this idea.

But now that Shen Bai suddenly said this to him, he felt that there might be other reasons.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "I have sealed Bai Zhen's remains in an independent space. I only need to think about it and I can pull it out, but I can't take it out now. You should know the reason."

Bai Zhen's body was no longer restrained by the coffin and was no longer suppressed by the mineral vein. When Shen Bai threw it into the crack, it immediately began to emit an extremely terrifying disease.

Only Shen Bai possessed the flawless tenth level body and the poison-avoiding and soul-restoring technique, so he was able to withstand it.

However, if the disease spreads, the people of the entire Nanxing Prefecture will suffer, which is something Shen Bai does not want to see.

Even with the sixth-level poison avoidance and soul recovery technique, there are still some diseases that Shen Bai cannot cure, so Shen Bai plans to temporarily throw Bai Zhen's remaining body into the space of the life and death storage technique.

It cannot be destroyed. He had just tried to use sword energy to hit Bai Zhen's broken body, but it didn't cause any waves.

When this remains of Bai Zhen was alive, he was the Gentleman Bai Zhen and the real number one in Nanxing Prefecture.

After his death, he was plagued by diseases, which covered his bones and gave him amazing defensive power.

So Shen Bai felt that there were two ways to solve this problem.

The first is to upgrade the poison avoidance and soul-restoring technique to the next level to eliminate all diseases.

The second is to wait until his strength reaches the state of unity, and when he can walk sideways in the state of transformation, he will be able to destroy Bai Zhen's remaining body.

Of the two options, the first one is actually much easier. After all, he only needs to upgrade one of his magical powers to level six to reach the state of unity.

Yao Long widened his eyes when he heard Shen Bai's words.

Only then did he remember that Shen Bai was known as the Eight Wonders Young Master and had space-type skills, which was something that ordinary people could not envy.

If it is sealed in a secret space, Bai Zhen's body will indeed be protected from external influences, and the disease will not spread to the streets and alleys of Nanxing Prefecture.

After Yao Long calmed down a bit, he asked, "Master Shen, what should we do now?"

Shen Bai said calmly, "Let's go back to the Nanxing Prefecture Heavenly Supervisor first. I'll leave this place to the people from the government office. Anyway, I've already taken away Bai Zhen's remains, so no evil forces will be interested in this place. After all, the risk is too great."

The matter has been resolved, his goal has been achieved, and Dongfangli's goal has also been achieved. This is a happy thing for everyone.

Shen Bai now just wants to go back to the Jiantian Division first, practice Shenxing Qianli to the sixth level, and then settle the accounts after breaking through to the unity realm.

As for the general ledger, there are two points.

The first is to completely destroy Bai Zhen's remaining body, and the second is to completely eliminate the influence of the Ye Dao Sect and the Ye Fo Sect in Nanxing Prefecture.

As for how to find it then, we will see when we reach the state of unity.

At this time, Shen Bai had already given the order, and Yao Long naturally did not dare to disobey, so he passed the order on.

Everyone went down the mountain to hand over to the constables, and then rushed towards the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjiansi.

On the way there, I happened to meet Zheng Xing and Wu Tian.

After they received the news, they immediately got up and came forward, wanting to look for Shen Bai's whereabouts, but they didn't expect Shen Bai to come out first.

After a conversation, the few of them stopped talking and arrived at the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division.

……

Nanxing Prefecture, Jiantiansi.

Shen Bai asked everyone to rest first, and then walked towards the five-story building alone.

Amber had already crawled out of the body and was holding Shen Bai's arm affectionately, looking loyal.

Shen Bai rubbed Amber's cat ears and asked, "As for Bai Zhen's remains, do you have any way to completely destroy them?"

Amber tilted her head, raised her delicate face, and hugged her arms tighter.

Shen Bai could feel a softness coming.

As we all know, cat-eared girls are the most desired in the hearts of all men, and Shen Bai is no exception.

Of course, cat-eared girl, okay.

Furui control, no.

Amber shook her head and said, "Master, there are too many diseases listed there, and none of them have anything to do with weirdness. I don't know where to start."

Speaking of weird and strange things, Amber, the strange beast, can come up with some solutions, but Bai Zhen's remains are not weird, nor are they weird things, so Amber has no solution either.

Shen Bai touched his chin, closed the door of the room on the fifth floor, and fell into deep thought.

"The hexagram indicates great fortune, and the remains of Bai Zhen and I have a great opportunity. However, it seems that I haven't found this opportunity yet. So I'll first cultivate Shen Xing Qian Li to level six."

"Perhaps when I reach level six, when I reach the state of unity, the solution will naturally surface."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai made up his mind.

He let the amber melt into his whole body, and then he began to practice traveling thousands of miles.

……

Time passed slowly, and many days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few days, Nanxing Prefecture seemed calm on the surface, but in fact many things had happened in secret.

Many evil forces were severely damaged because of the mine incident, and these things were widely circulated in the martial arts world and among the major forces.

As for the remains of Bai Zhen, according to the information released by the Tianjiansi, they had been quickly destroyed and no trace of him could be found.

During this period, many underworld forces secretly inquired and found out that no one had ever seen the remains of Bai Zhen.

Because of this, everyone felt that the matter seemed to have come to an end.

At this moment, on a hill far away from Nanxing Prefecture.

The quaint buildings are built against the mountain, and people in college clothes are walking back and forth in the buildings.

Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang were standing at the door at this moment, looking a little unhappy.

"You two will wait outside for now. We will notify the branch dean. We will then decide whether or not to see you."

The members of the academy showed a hint of pride on their faces and turned to walk inside.

Taoist Qi Huang's face was gloomy. He said, "How dare a mere gatekeeper from the Unity Realm stop us? How outrageous!"

This time, they really had no choice but to come to Xinhuo Academy.

After all, this time, Xinhuo Academy only lost two masters in the middle stage of Huaxu realm, which was just a tickle and there was no major loss.

However, they are no longer able to deal with the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjiansi, Shen Bai, or obtain the remaining body of Bai Zhen.

As for what Jian Tiansi said about Bai Zhen's body being destroyed, it might be true for others, but for them, it was clearly a lie.

Abbot Xuanzhen said helplessly: "Master, please calm down a little. After all, we need help from others."

Taoist Qihuang snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Not long after, the academy disciple who had walked in hurried out, raised his hand and said, "Please follow me, the branch dean is willing to see you."

Although Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang felt very aggrieved, they still followed behind.
It is obvious that the two forces are on par with their Xinhuo Academy, but now it seems as if they are weaker.

But since you are willing to meet, then go out and meet him.

Maybe after seeing it, many things can be explained clearly, and the wild Taoists and wild Buddhas can be brought back to life, or even Shen Bai can be killed.

Soon, under the guidance of the academy disciples, the two entered the Xinhuo Academy.

Built against the mountain, this building looks particularly magnificent, and gives people a sense of luxury and dignity as a whole.

After entering the hospital, there is an extremely huge courtyard, and in the courtyard, there are small paths that continue to spread out, leading to one building after another.

Under the guidance of the academy disciples, the two found the widest road and came to the inner courtyard of Xinhuo Academy.

The inner courtyard is much larger than the outer courtyard, and the decoration inside is also more stylish.

And in the very center is a hall.

On weekdays, the students of Xinhuo Academy are responsible for cleaning and maintenance.

The academy disciple led the two into the main hall, asked them to find a seat and then left without even offering them a cup of tea.

Taoist Qihuang had been suppressing his anger.

Although he was also looked down upon in this regard, he thought that he had suffered the anger before, so it would not hurt to endure it a little longer now.

They waited like this for about an incense stick of time, and then they heard footsteps.

An old man dressed in gorgeous silk clothes walked slowly towards them, leaning on a cane.

The old man exuded a kind and friendly feeling, but Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Qihuang looked wary.

Don't be fooled by his kind face, he is the dean of the Xinhuo Academy branch in Nanxing Prefecture. He has great power and his strength is at the peak of the Huaxu realm.

Coupled with the academy's various crazy research, it has more means than the two of them.

When the branch dean sat down, he immediately stomped his cane, attracting the attention of the two men.

"I know the purpose of your visit. This quest to retrieve the remains of the Hundred True Ones has been a failure, and your forces have suffered heavy losses. I deeply regret this."

Abbot Xuanzhen didn't say anything, but Taoist Qihuang spoke first.

"It could have been successful, but you only sent two people this time. You seem to be underestimating the importance of Bai Zhen's remains."

"This failure is also closely related to your academy."

Abbot Xuanzhen didn't say anything. Since Taoist Qihuang was going to play the bad guy, he was happy to accept it.

After hearing this, the branch dean smiled slightly, and the kind and gentle aura on his body disappeared in an instant.

A look of madness kept swirling in his eyes, which was extremely terrifying.

"We've paid a huge price. Just half a shadow in the painting is already an extremely precious treasure in this world. Not to mention Piaoxu and Lu Cheng, they are also the core forces of the academy. Their deaths can't be considered in vain."

Taoist Qi Huang sneered, "Compared to the elite we lost, those two people are nothing. Besides, Piao Xu's death seems to have restored your academy to normal, isn't that what I said?"

The dean narrowed his eyes. His white eyebrows had grown to his chin. When he narrowed his eyes, he immediately moved without any wind, revealing a cold murderous aura.

"Master, what you mean is that you want to put the blame on Xinhuo Academy for this matter?"

Taoist Qihuang snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and said nothing.

When they came, they had already agreed that one of them would play the good guy and the other the bad guy.

Now that I have finished singing the black face song, it is Abbot Xuanzhen's turn.

Xuan Zhen Fangzhang quickly stood up and said, "Dean, you don't have to mind. The Taoist priest is straightforward and has no ill intentions. We came here mainly to discuss with the academy how to deal with Shen Bai and how to obtain the remains of Bai Zhen."

"The remains of Bai Zhen are not so easy to destroy. The news they spread is probably fake."

What kind of person is the branch dean? Anyone who can get this position in Nanxing Prefecture must be a smart person and see through the performance of the two people, one red and one black.

But at this moment, it was not good to expose it, so he stroked his beard and said lightly.

"What plans do you two have? Please explain them in detail. If we can destroy Shen Bai and obtain Bai Zhen's body, Xinhuo Academy will naturally make an effort. However, I don't want to repeat your mistakes again."

They thought they had a perfect plan this time, but they didn't expect that it would be thwarted by Shen Bai in one fell swoop.

The branch dean was also slightly interested in this person.

He even thought about capturing Shen Bai and studying him carefully to see what its structure was. This might be of great help to the research of Xinhuo Academy.

Now that these two people came to find him, he naturally had a plan.

If the plan works, maybe he will really participate in it.

Abbot Xuanzhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dean. If we weren't sure of victory, we wouldn't go into details with you."

The dean of the branch did not speak, but from his expression it could be seen that he was waiting for Abbot Xuanzhen to continue.

Abbot Xuanzhen pondered for a moment before slowly telling his plan.

"Speaking of research, Xinhuo Academy certainly has the technology. I heard the dean is currently researching something very important, seemingly looking at whether humans and monsters can produce offspring."

When the branch dean heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous light flashed in them.

"I am indeed doing this research, but it seems that weirdos and humans cannot produce offspring. Even with rigorous data, it is still impossible."

Abbot Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "It's still possible."

After these words were spoken, a hint of interest flashed in the dean's eyes.

After seeing this look, Abbot Xuanzhen knew that he had made the right trip.

The people in Xinhuo Academy are all crazy. They are obsessed with various researches. As long as they can grasp the research, it will become their weak point.

"Please tell me in detail," said the dean.

This plan is one of his most important researches. If humans and monsters can produce offspring, it is very likely that the monsters will be controlled, or have autonomous consciousness.

If the branch dean can make a breakthrough in this area, he will definitely gain great benefits and may even become a famous figure in history.

Taoist Qihuang frowned.

He didn't expect that Abbot Xuanzhen would use this reason to gain the support of the branch dean.

But he said nothing and continued to wait patiently.

Abbot Xuanzhen organized his words briefly before slowly stating his plan: "There is a secret technique within the Wild Dao Sect of Nanxing Prefecture called the Art of Transformation, which is the key to this."

"If we can transform humans into winged beings and make them meet the requirements of the weird, we will definitely gain something from communicating with the weird gods."

After these words were spoken, the dean of the branch did not change at all, except for Taoist Qihuang who suddenly stood up.

"Impossible. The Feather Transformation Technique can only be used three times in a lifetime. It can remove all hidden diseases that one has cultivated. I have already used it twice. The last one is for me to enter the next great realm. It must not be used here."

The art of metamorphosis is to use the secret method of the Wild Dao Sect to rewrite the shortcomings of any living creature and produce a qualitative change.

He also understood what Abbot Xuanzhen meant. There would inevitably be flaws when humans communicated with strange spirits.

If the art of metamorphosis changes humans, then the defects can be made up for.

But the art of metamorphosis is too important to him.

Abbot Xuanzhen sighed and said, "Because of this, both sides have lost a large number of elite soldiers. If we don't resolve this, I'm afraid the higher-ups will blame us later. Forget about the Feather Transformation Technique, you won't have the chance to use it even if you have it."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Qihuang fell silent.

He also knew that what Abbot Xuanzhen said was right, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

When they sit in this position, they are not indecisive and decisions are made in an instant.

The branch dean clenched his cane and said slowly, "Yes, I am also quite interested. In this case, let's talk about the plan, how to deal with Shen Bai, and how to obtain the remains of Bai Zhen."

As the dean of the branch here, he really hopes to use the technique of metamorphosis to create a miracle in this research.

But the purpose of these two people coming to him was to deal with Shen Bai.

Of course he wanted to hear the plan.

If the plan is not thorough enough, he will choose to protect himself.

After all, only when people are alive can more research be carried out.

Abbot Xuanzhen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then walked up to the branch dean and spoke slowly.
