Chapter 263: People from the Refuge

The direction indicated by the Wuji Guashu was from the direction of the refuge, which was the place where Shen Bai had walked out before.

This means that Shen Bai can go to the refuge, resolve the crisis, and make it disappear.

After a brief thought, Shen Bai stopped thinking about it and activated the Divine Travel Thousands of Miles, turning into a residual image and disappearing into the sky.

At the end of the distant sky, Shen Bai rode away and soon disappeared.

Only one sentence was left in the air.

"I'll be back soon. Clean up the battlefield for me. Don't slack off."

When Guiyi saw Shen Bai disappear, he roared and turned into a cold shadow, following him and disappearing in front of everyone.

It was weird and acted on instinct, instinctively wanting to kill Shen Bai.

If Shen Bai was not killed by it, it would not target other people for the time being.

Below, Xing Jingling and Hong Yuan looked at each other and could see the fear in each other's eyes.

They thought that there would be a devastating battle, and even the entire Qianyuan Kyoto would not be spared and would be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

But what no one expected was that Shen Bai flew away in one direction just as the battle began.

They knew very well why this was happening.

Xing Jingling watched Shen Baifei walk away, gritted his teeth, and said, "Master Hong, quickly start cleaning up the battlefield. We must pacify the entire Qianyuanjing."

He believed that Shen Bai ran in a certain direction not because Shen Bai was not a match for that strange opponent, but because he felt that if a war broke out in Qianyuanjing, it would bring disaster to the people of Qianyuanjing.

Hong Yuan also thought so. At the beginning, he still had some doubts about Shen Bai's strength.

Afterwards, one thing after another happened, from Huang Neng's death, to Shen Bai attending the banquet alone, and then the destruction of the leaders of the three major evil forces, and the death of Jing Yuanhou.

By that time, Hong Yuan was full of confidence in Shen Bai.

He felt that with his previous limited vision, he could not guess Lord Shen's strength at all.

Now Shen Bai did not start a war with the weirdness, but flew towards a place. Hong Yuan also believed that Shen Bai was considering them.

"If we were stronger, we might not be a burden to Lord Shen." Han Sanfeng sighed as he stood next to Hong Yuan.

His body was covered with scars. He almost died in the battle just now.

If Shen Bai had not appeared in time, the entire Tianjian Division would have suffered even greater losses.

Everyone looked at Shen Bai's disappearing figure, and similar thoughts emerged in everyone's mind.

But without exception, the awe in each of their eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Especially those people from the underworld forces who came to help, they secretly rejoiced that their choice was right.

If they did not choose to help Qian Yuanjing this time, I am afraid that after Shen Bai wins, none of them will be able to escape the subsequent settlement.

Soon, the field fell silent and everyone began to clean up the battlefield.

It is troublesome to clean up the densely packed corpses, but compared to the situation just now where one could lose his life at any time, this trouble is not a big deal now.

The people in the city watched the bodies being carried away, and the numbness in their eyes gradually disappeared.

They said nothing, just staring at the open city gate.

A crying voice was heard.

The five-year-old child lay in his mother's arms, sobbing.

The crying seemed to be contagious, gradually spreading throughout the entire Qianyuanjing.

The dark clouds that had shrouded Qianyuanjing for a long time completely disappeared at this moment.

The people's hopes once again emerged in their hearts.

……

Shen Bai naturally didn't care what happened afterwards.

He was very relieved to hand those things over to Xing Jingling, Hong Yuan and others.

He planned to resolve his current crisis first.

Behind him, there were bursts of roars.

While Shen Bai was using the divine travel ability, he took the time to look back and saw a strange figure in armor and black boxing gloves running towards him.

Its speed is not slow at all.

Not only that, there was a chill behind the strange figure, and wherever it passed, frost spread and all life was cut off.

At this rate, the two sides are even getting closer.

Shen Bai estimated that if he allowed the other party to chase him like this, he would be caught up sooner or later.

But fortunately, his speed of traveling thousands of miles is not slow, and he also has the power of space, which allows him to teleport continuously. As long as the distance is slightly shortened, Shen Bai will teleport to create a large distance to ensure his own safety.

"Actually, at this rate, I could run all the way to Xuanjing City, and someone would naturally kill this weirdo, but there's no need."

Shen Bai was thinking as he ran.

A strong wind came from behind him. Under the cover of the red eyes that could break the void, he dodged the strange attack with a simple move.

He could escape to Xuanjing City, lure this monster there, and then Eunuch Chen and others could crush it completely with just a few moves.

But Shen Bai felt that he didn't need to do so.

The safe area shown by the gossip is the refuge. Shen Bai can not only deal with this monster in the refuge, but he can even rely on this monster and combine it with the refuge to gain benefits.

This is what Wuji Guashu told him. Shen Bai has always believed in Wuji Guashu.

If he can get benefits and solve the strangeness, why should he go to Xuanjing City?

Not far ahead is the abandoned military camp where we came from before.

Although Shen Bai was far away, he could already see the ruins of the military camp through the red eyes of the void.

Accompanied by a strong gust of wind, Shen Bai landed steadily on the military camp.

There was also a strong wind blowing behind him. Shen Bai turned around and saw a strange black shadow falling from the sky.

Without further ado, he circulated the Qi in his body, used the Earth Spirit Breaking Formation Technique and the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, and instantly cut a hole in front of him.

The hole quickly grew larger, and waves of spatial force surged over it.

Shen Bai turned into a shadow and disappeared in this space.

The terrifying fist wrapped in black gloves fell heavily to the ground.

The entire military camp had enough space to accommodate tens of thousands of people, but with this punch, it turned into an endless winter.

Even if it was a master at the pinnacle of realm, his life would be frozen by this punch.

Fortunately, Shen Bai had already run into the shelter first, and this terrifying attack spread, but he was not affected.

The space in front is gradually closing, but Shen Bai's breath still remains in the space.

The strange pair of blood-red eyes stared at the place where Shen Bai disappeared. After a mad roar, he stretched out his gloved hands and grabbed the space.

The power of space is extremely terrifying.

Back in Tianhe Tower, Shen Bai used the Yin-Yang Technique to kill the woman in purple. Even with the woman's strength, he still needed to be cautious.

At that time, it was almost cut in half by Shen Bai's spatial power.

However, this terrifying force of space was pulled by the monster and could not be restrained. Instead, it was expanding to both sides.

The expansion was slow, but the strange hand was unusually steady.

The space crack in front of him was actually torn open by him alive.

Then, the strange thing instinctively entered this space.

……

In the refuge, when Shen Bai stepped out, he immediately turned his sword and swung a blood-red sword energy behind him.

The terrifying blood-red sword energy shot out and happened to fall into the empty void behind him.

The originally empty void suddenly twisted, and something strange emerged from it. The pair of blood-red eyes stared at Shen Bai, just in time to meet Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy.

The strange reaction was also extremely fast. Before the blood-red sword energy reached him, he raised his fist, carrying a cold aura, and completely shattered it.

“It’s really strong.”

The corners of Shen Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

He felt that the death of Marquis Jingyuan had caused him a lot of trouble.

The strange strength is indeed a bit super-model. If it were placed in a Beijing-level city, it would probably be enough to sweep across a large area.

But now that he has come to this refuge, there should be a solution.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai once again used the Wuji Gua technique.

Before my eyes, golden threads continued to converge.

Then, he headed towards the main road where the mechanism was located.

Shen Bai was slightly stunned, but soon understood.

"It seems to be heading towards the formation. Could it be related to that mechanism?"

After having this idea, Shen Bai didn't say anything more and continued to rush forward.

It roared strangely and attacked continuously.

Relying on his nimble ability to travel thousands of miles, his flawless soul and body, and various magical powers, Shen Bai continued to fight against the monsters.

The Qi in the body is consumed and flows away like water.

Fortunately, the distance was not very far, and with Shen Bai's speed, it took him less than half an incense stick of time to reach the location where the mechanism was stored.

Without saying a word, Shen Bai turned around and stepped into the white space.

Since Shen Bai had already cracked the formation here last time, after Shen Bai stepped in, he easily broke through the white barrier.

The strange power itself was extremely powerful, and it followed Shen Bai into the space where the mechanism was stored without any obstruction.

"So what do I do now?"

Shen Bai frowned.

After he and Guiyi stepped into this place together, nothing unusual happened, nor did they feel safe as instructed in the Wuji Guashu.

There was nothing around except those sophisticated mechanisms.

The cold aura emanating from Guiyi told Shen Bai that the danger was becoming increasingly intense at this moment.

"Forget it, if that's the case, then let's start fighting."

Shen Bai held Han Yue and thought to himself.

If there is no solution, then we have no choice but to burn our boats.

Although there is a gap between him and this weirdness, the gap is not outrageously large.

In this case, by taking advantage of the monster's only instinctive weakness, Shen Bai may have a chance to kill it.

With this idea in mind, Shen Bai decided to take action.

But at this moment, something unusual happened.

Inside the mechanism here, there is a passage that has not yet been closed. It is connected to another refuge and is also the backup plan left by those who escaped from this refuge.

It was for this reason that Shen Bai left behind these mechanisms and formations, intending to use them to explore a new refuge.

At this moment, a voice slowly came from outside that space.

"A terrifying being has descended, destroying the mechanical formations and launching a destructive attack."

After these words were spoken, they seemed to be mechanical, without any emotion.

As these words were spoken, a ray of light appeared from the tiny passage.

After the light appeared, it came in the blink of an eye and landed on the strange chest.

Guiyi devoted himself to Shen Bai. When facing the attack, although he blocked it instinctively, the light penetrated Guiyi's fist, emerged from his back, and landed on the grass not far away.

A bottomless hole appeared in the grass, and the aura on the strange person's body was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Bai possesses the Yin-Yang Art of Absorbing Objects, and also has strong attainments in spatial abilities.

He only took one look and knew what it was.

"Using space to continuously stack power, and then storing it within the channel, over time, the superimposed power reaches a terrifying extreme."

Due to the mechanism of the formation, this power was hidden inside and was not discovered.

As for the mechanical-like voice just now, Shen Bai also had some thoughts.

This might be a sound simulated by a mechanical formation.

The power of space is to protect this mechanism formation.

After all, those who escaped still wanted to pass through this passage and return to this refuge.

"So I was lucky that I didn't destroy the formation. Otherwise, I would have been attacked by the power of space."

Shen Bai secretly felt fortunate that he had made the right decision at that time.

As he was thinking this, the aura on Guiyi's body was gradually weakening, which meant that Guiyi was about to die after being hit by this attack.

But the strange man still exuded a cold aura and wanted to attack Shen Bai.

"How much do you hate me? You still want to kill me in this situation?" Shen Bai shook his head and waved Han Yue.

It's weird. As long as the person is not dead, he still has evil spirit.

If the evil spirit comes for free, it would be a waste not to take it.

The red sword energy chopped the monster in front of him into ruins, and then fifty evil spirits appeared and were taken into Shen Bai's pocket.

This was the time when Shen Bai eliminated the weirdness and obtained the most evil energy at one time.

It also means that this monster is powerful enough.

Shen Bai was naturally happy to have harvested the evil spirit.

But at this moment, Shen Bai temporarily suppressed the joy in his heart and cast his eyes into the passage. In the passage, the sound of thin footsteps could be heard, as if something was passing through this passage created by space.

Shen Bai had originally planned to take advantage of this time to see if there was anything abnormal in this space.

Unexpectedly, a sound was heard in the passage.

After a little thought, Shen Bai turned into a ball of shadow, cast Shadow Kill, and hid himself in the shadow of this space.

After Shen Bai hid himself, the footsteps became more fragmented.

At the same time, Shen Bai heard a series of voices ringing in his ears.

The sound came from the passage.

"The energy stored in the mechanism has been released. They must have discovered it."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up. We can't let them destroy the mechanism this time, otherwise we won't be able to come back."

"This will be a tough battle, and everyone must be prepared to sacrifice at any time."

"Don't worry, Village Chief. We are ready. Even if it means death, we will bite off a piece of their flesh."

The sound is very noisy and chaotic, it is the result of many voices coming together.

As these sounds gradually became smaller, the footsteps became louder.

At the same time, figures emerged from the passage.

The first person to come out was a white-haired old man.

The old man was wearing a cloth robe and holding a huge cane in his hand. The top of the cane was in the shape of a dragon head.

Behind the old man, there were more than ten people exuding the aura of the peak realm.

The moment they appeared, they immediately looked around vigilantly.

The surroundings were empty, which made the people who appeared look confused, and they couldn't understand why there was nothing there.

One of the middle-aged men stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Village Chief, something's wrong. Why is there no one here?"

The old man holding the dragon-headed cane looked around, his gray eyebrows wrinkled. "I don't know why there's nothing here. Don't ask. Let's go out and take a look."

An old man spoke, and the rest of the people nodded.

Under the guidance of the old man, they walked outside.

Outside was a vast grassland and various buildings built against the mountain. When the old man and more than a dozen men and women walked onto the vast grassland, they were all stunned when they saw the empty mountains and sky.

Shen Bai hid in the shadows and sorted out all the relationships in a moment.

The power of space hidden in the passage is to prevent destruction by the evil forces that originally occupied the refuge.

When this spatial force is activated, the people originally living in the refuge will immediately notice it.

They left this passage and mechanism so that they could come back one day.

So when they knew that the mechanism was about to be destroyed, they decided to take a desperate measure and return through the passage to see the situation in the refuge.

Originally, according to these people's thinking, there must be powerful enemies surrounding this place.

But they really didn't expect that this place was already empty.

Those so-called powerful enemies had already been dealt with by Shen Bai.

After Shen Bai thought about the cause and effect of all the events, he did not come out from the shadows, but followed quietly beside and continued to observe secretly.

Now, although the strange thing has been eliminated by Shen Bai, the three evil forces and Jing Yuanhou are also dead.

But no one can tell whether these people in front of him are good or bad.

After all, as an outsider, Shen Bai has no idea what the people in the refuge are thinking.

So he decided to continue observing for a while to see what he would discover next.

The village chief thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said, "Search every inch of the refuge to see if there are any living people. This is impossible. They have occupied the refuge, so why would they leave here?"

Behind him, a dozen men and women nodded immediately after receiving instructions from the village chief, then quietly dispersed and began to search every inch of land in the refuge.

The village chief with gray hair and holding a dragon-headed cane stood there, frowning and thinking.

They had been away from this refuge for too long.

In order to be able to come back, a secret passage was left behind.

Today they felt the changes in the passage and guessed that the location of the mechanism might have been discovered, so they decided to go all out and try their best to protect the mechanism from being destroyed.

The dozen or so masters at the peak level he led came here first to explore the way.

But I never expected that I would discover such a strange scene as soon as I arrived.

There is nothing here.

Not even a dog noticed.

This scene made the village chief feel very confused.

"Where on earth did those lackeys of the chaotic organization go?"

The search process was not slow.

They are all masters at the peak level, so the search will naturally not take much time.

About an incense stick of time later, the dozen or so people who went out to search all returned to where the village chief was.

"Did you find anything?" asked the village chief.

The middle-aged man in the lead shook his head solemnly and said, "Village Chief, we've thoroughly checked every location in the refuge. Not only did we not find any of those rogue organizations' lackeys, we didn't even find a single living thing."

Seeing this, the village chief frowned even deeper. "So, where did they go? They couldn't have been wiped out, could they?"

When the village chief said this, more than a dozen men and women shook their heads.

If other accidents happened, they might still believe it.

But if they were destroyed by others, they would not believe it at all.

It’s not about how powerful the people from these three evil forces are, but that these people are capable enough to survive.

It is extremely difficult to kill them all. In addition, due to the special nature of the refuge, nothing will happen as long as this group of people are not too reckless.

But the question arises again, if they were not destroyed, then what conspiracy was there?

Everyone fell into deep thought.

The village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Take over all the rest of the people."

After these words were spoken, more than a dozen men and women looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

The middle-aged man said, "Village Chief, the situation is unclear right now. If we bring them all here, what if this is a conspiracy by those lackeys? I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out. We might even discover that passage and divert the disaster to other refuges."

The others nodded, indicating that they agreed with the middle-aged man's statement.

The village chief said solemnly, "How could I not know what you are thinking? But now is a good opportunity."

"Whatever their schemes are, at least for now, it seems there's nothing in the refuge. If we seize this opportunity to bring everyone here, we might be able to regain control of the refuge."

"I can also use the law of space to change the entrance of the refuge so that they can be blocked outside the refuge."

They had been driven away for so many years, and this was an excellent opportunity, and the village chief did not intend to let it go.

As the person in charge of the laws of space in the refuge, the village chief has absolute authority in the refuge.

After he said this, even though everyone still had objections in their hearts, they still did as the village chief said.

Afterwards, several people prepared to go to the location of the agency.

Unexpectedly, the village chief looked at the others and said, "You all go together."

The people being watched looked puzzled. They didn't know why the village chief made such arrangements. After all, it wouldn't cost so much to pick someone up.

But since the village chief had said it, no one had any objection.

Afterwards, these more than ten men and women disappeared into the grassland.

After the dozen or so men and women disappeared, the village chief directed the ray in one direction and sighed.

"My dear friend, I have just taken control of the spatial power in the refuge and discovered that you are hiding so deeply. If that is the case, why don't you come out and have a chat with me?"

After these words were spoken, Shen Bai, who was hiding in the shadows, was slightly stunned. Then he withdrew the Shadow Killer and walked out of the shadows.

He didn't expect that he would be discovered, but after listening to the village chief's explanation, he knew that it was reasonable for him to be discovered.

After all, the village chief is a master of space control and the creator of the refuge.

Once he took control of the space of the refuge, he could naturally sense where Shen Bai was.

Now that he was discovered, Shen Bai didn't want to hide anymore. He also wanted to see what the so-called village chief was planning.

The moment Shen Bai walked out, the village chief immediately raised his hand to stop Shen Bai.

"Stop first. If you get too close, I'm afraid it's dangerous."

Shen Bai didn't care. He shrugged and said, "You should have full trust in me. After all, those evil forces have been completely wiped out by me. Now, the fact that you can walk out of that passage alive and reach the refuge is all thanks to me."

What he said was very direct and straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

In fact, everything Shen Bai said was correct.

Sometimes, speaking more directly can let the other party know what exactly you have done.

After hearing what Shen Bai said, the village chief was slightly startled and then fell silent.

He had no doubt about the truthfulness of Shen Bai's words, because there was a strong evil aura around Shen Bai.

The pressure brought to him by that evil spirit was even greater than that of the three evil forces that had originally occupied the refuge.

But the village chief couldn't tell whether the other party was good or bad.

Back in the Wancheng era, he led the refugees back to the refuge. It was because of his sufficient caution and fear of death that he survived to this day.

We must not lose our lives because of some small mistakes at this time.

"The reason why I dismissed everyone was to give us a place to talk alone."

"Young man, why don't you tell me your whole story in detail?" the village chief said slowly.

After hearing this, Shen Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The village chief frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing, young friend?"

"Why shouldn't I laugh? You didn't send them there to give us room to talk, but to get reinforcements."

"Calculate the time, it should be here soon."

After Shen Bai said this, bursts of dense footsteps sounded across the plain.

Dense crowds of people emerged, and at a glance, there was a sea of ​​people with no end in sight.

The village chief was exposed by Shen Bai's thoughts, but when he saw that everyone had arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became a little cold: "Please leave the refuge immediately, young friend. I don't want to be your enemy."

This look seems to keep people away from him.

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "I helped you eliminate the three major evil forces so that you could return to this refuge, but you treated me like this. I didn't expect that."

If it were outside, it wouldn't be surprising if he were treated as a guest of honor, not to mention bowing to them.

But the old man just wanted him to leave the shelter, and there was even a hint of rejection in his tone.

The village chief shook his head. "The refuge itself is isolated from everything, so we don't want too much communication with outsiders. My friend, please leave on your own, otherwise, I will take action."

When he said this, the huge crowd exuded a powerful aura, as if they would take action if Shen Bai really didn't leave.

"You don't listen to my nice words, but you insist on being tough with me."

Shen Bai's tone became somewhat dull. "I dealt with the three major demonic forces and allowed you to return to this refuge. I just wanted to ask a few questions, but you treated me like this. It seems that sometimes, speaking nicely to others will make them lose all courtesy."

"In that case, let's not talk about it."

Behind Shen Bai, a ten-foot-tall golden statue of Buddha appeared on the plain, emitting a terrifying aura from head to toe.

And that blood-red cold moon was filled with sword energy that was so terrifying that it made people tremble with fear.

The village chief felt the strong murderous aura emanating from Shen Bai, and then waved his hand.

The dense crowd of people in the shelter surrounded Shen Bai.

But then they discovered that they had lost trace of Shen Bai.

The village chief felt a sense of danger and saw a shadow appear in front of him.

"You're smart. You know you should capture the leader first, but I'm not a pushover either."

A large amount of spatial force gradually gathered, and the village chief raised his crutch and chopped it vertically towards Shen Bai.

There is also spatial force on the crutch, which is constantly collapsing, carrying a strong murderous aura.

But the next moment, the village chief's crutch stopped in mid-air because a long sword was against his throat.

The village chief swallowed his saliva and said motionlessly, "Don't do anything stupid. I still say the same thing. As long as you leave the refuge, nothing will happen."

What responded to him was a kick from Shen Bai.

The kick hit him in the chest, causing him to fly backwards and roll several times on the ground.

Just as he was about to get up, the long sword flashing with cold light was pressed against his throat again.

At this time, the people around did not dare to move. They all looked at Shen Bai vigilantly, worried that Shen Bai would chop off the village chief's head.

"Can we talk now?" Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

A trace of cold sweat ran down the village chief's forehead, and then he began to nod suddenly: "You can talk, my friend, move this sword away first."

Shen Bai felt that the village chief's behavior was expected.

Don't think they are all tough guys.

In the Wancheng era, these people were simply losers on the run. If they weren't afraid of losing their lives, how could they have found a refuge to hide in?
So when faced with Shen Bai's strength, the village chief was intimidated at the first moment.

Shen Bai smiled slightly, then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "I'll give you a place. You go find someone. If you find someone, you can both survive. If you want to run, with my power in this world, I can kill you all one by one."

At this time, Shen Bai's aura was revealed, as if he was a real villain.
