The sage was determined to die.

Ji Bai glanced back and said calmly, "I think there shouldn't be any problems."

After saying that, the three turned and left, leaving the salted fish lying motionless on the ground.

Once the footsteps faded into the distance, the young man slowly lifted his eyelids to make sure no one was around before slowly getting up, his whole demeanor radiating the relief of surviving a close call.

"I was so scared, I thought I was going to die."

The young man slowly got up, not bothering to straighten his clothes, and quickly checked himself over from head to toe.

He had heard people say that people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are many sneaky and powerful people who don't focus on robbing gold and silver treasures, but instead love to silently snatch people's kidneys...

The passerby thought that he must have run into this group of people.

He swallowed silently and carefully examined himself from head to toe. The result was quite unexpected. Not only was he not missing any limbs, but he also seemed to be getting stronger.

And for some reason, recalling the face of the leader of the robbers, he actually sensed a hint of goodwill in that arrogant expression.

"What's wrong with me...?"

The passerby slapped his forehead, utterly puzzled.

……

Ji Bai's plan was executed very smoothly.

Adhering to the principles of overwhelming the few, defeating the weak with the strong, being outnumbered and running away when things go wrong, and with the precise location of the map in their minds, they were able to find quite a few escapees with great success.

Even Yan Ming couldn't help but sigh, "There are just too many lone lambs here."

With his slightly smug tone and posture, it's fair to say he had completely immersed himself in the role of the villain.

Gongsun Yang was clearly thinking more deeply than Yan Ming. He glanced at Ji Bai's expression and pondered, "Is it a coincidence? Or...?"

Ji Bai glanced at him and said vaguely, "Maybe someone arranged this on purpose. Why don't you guess?"

Upon hearing Ji Bai's words, Gongsun Yang couldn't help but feel that he had indeed come to understand something again.

As a smart person, he always understands better what the other person hasn't said, and the unspoken meaning behind their words.

After making excuses for the other party, Ji Bai knew that this kid must have been thinking about a lot of random things again.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and several more threads appeared that only he could see. Each thread was distinct and connected to several people, although he could not fully control them at the moment.

Ji Bai rubbed his fingers together. He had to admit that the subtle and indescribable sense of connection was indeed a very rare ability.

"Tsk." He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "If I could completely control this thing, what difference would it make from having so many sons for no reason?"

They don't even have to give birth or raise the children themselves.

Just as Ji Bai was marveling at his own perverse sense of humor, one of the threads that had just been wrapped around his eyes suddenly snapped.

"What's going on?" Ji Bai couldn't help but wonder, while constantly recalling the face that the thread corresponded to.

Yan Ming, noticing Ji Bai's sudden serious expression, asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so pale?"

Ji Bai waved his hand, not bothering to brush off the question, but instead saying, "Oh, I was just wondering if we should take a risk."

"adventure?"

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized something.

"You're not planning to wipe them all out, are you?"
