A Will Eternal – Chapter 759

Chapter 759: We're All On The Same Team

It was dark outside when Bai Xiaochun frantically tried to activate the command medallion. The surroundings were so silent, that it was possible to hear a pin drop.

Slowly but surely, his hair began to stand up. He could not remain calm, and was doing everything he could to activate the command medallion as quickly as possible. However, at some point in the night, his work was interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from outside the building where he was.

Buk Buk Buk…. It almost sounded like a heartbeat, although Bai Xiaochun was quite certain they were footsteps. However, after sending the divine sense outside to check, he could not see anyone in the area.

That, of course, caused his scalp to tingle so hard that it felt like it was exploding.

"This is really .. very haunted …." He felt like crying; other than death, the thing he feared the most in life was ghosts. No matter that he was at the Heaven-Dao Nascent Soul stage, he still could not eliminate that profound phobia. Without any hesitation he got a stack of paper talismans from his bag to hold and started slapping them himself.

They were talismans left over from his days in the River-Endressing Sect, which he also used in the Emperor-Arcing labyrinth. Right now, he did not care at all that using them could theoretically reveal his identity, and he had even forgotten to use the power of his mask to change their appearance. After polishing himself with them, he still trembled in fear, and continued to push the command medallion to activate. At the same time, he continued to look around anxiously, worried that he would see a face looming in the darkness.

“I'm the inspection commissioner, and this is the Inspection Manor! How did this happen…? It shouldn't be like this …! " As he sat there nervously, he suddenly realized that he could hear more and more footsteps outside, until it sounded like the entire army was passing by.

At this point, he was almost going crazy.

"So many ghosts ..." he thought, his face was deathly pale. It was at this point, without any warning, that someone suddenly knocked on the door.

It was the loud, methodical knock that made Bai Xiaochun so frightened that he jumped to his feet and stared at the door, panting and shaking.

After a while, the knock stopped, and then the footsteps went off into the distance, as if whatever troops were outside had moved.

Finally, when Bai Xiaochun was sure that everything was calm, he wiped the sweat off his brows. Suddenly, he felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he was a strong cultivator, a Wildlands necromancer who used countless avenging souls to conjure magical flames. However, here he was oppressed by a ghost. Overall, he couldn't help but feel a little scornful of his own actions.

"Come on! Was Lord Bai really afraid of ghosts? Well, I just don't want to come out until I'm done activating the medal command. Besides, I don't want to cause misunderstandings. ” After reaching the conclusion that this is definitely the best way to see it, he no longer feels very embarrassed, and only will continue to work with the command medal when ….

Suddenly, a rumbling sound resounded as some great force pushed open the door, leaving it open. When that happened, a cold wind flowed in, shocking Bai Xiaochun so much that he screamed and unleashed all the power of his cultivation base. Turning back, he shouted, “I'm the inspection commissioner! We're all on the same team here …. "

It was impossible to tell if it was because of what Bai Xiaochun had just shouted, but after the door opened, it was clear that no one was standing in the doorway. It was completely empty.

Sweat drenched Bai Xiaochun's forehead, and his aura trembled unstably. Outside, Arch-Emperor City looked completely dark, which was not how Bai Xiaochun recalled his usual place at night. Back at Borough 89, the place is always crowded. What's more, he's now in the downtown district, in Borough 4, a place that should be more crowded.

Downtown, the streets were crowded day and night. But strangely ...Even with the door open, Bai Xiaochun could not even hear the whispers of the crowd and the busyness that he should have. Everything is dark and silent.

Apparently, this part of the city center was aware of how everything worked near the Inspection Manor, and turned off all their lights at night.

"What kind of place is this ?!" Teeth chattered, he made a spell move with his right hand and then waved his finger, causing the door to swing shut. Looking around the area warily, he scanned everything with divine sense, but once again found nothing. Finally, he patted his handbag to produce a soul-stacking pagoda, from which Bai Hao flew.

"You are a ghost cultivator, my disciple," he said. "Help me take a look around and see if there's another creature like you around here." Bai Hao was a bit surprised, but he looked around for a moment, then closed his eyes for a while. Finally, he frowned.

"Master," he said hesitantly, "there are definitely no ghosts around here that have mental abilities like mine …. However, there must be something strange about this place, as if it existed somewhere between the worlds of death and life. I really can't put my finger on it. It's like this place …. " At this point he realized that his Master's face had turned deathly pale, and he looked very frightened.

"What's up, Mister?" She asked.

"Eh, Mr. .. I never said you look scared."

"Huh? Oh Ha ha ha! Well, don't talk about it. You just say something but it's not finished. What about this place? "

Looking strangely at Bai Xiaochun, Bai Hao continued, “For me, this place doesn't feel empty at all…. In fact, it's like there are people around us .. hidden numbers in large numbers … "

His words caused goosebumps to cover Bai Xiaochun's skin, and he looked around left and right to see if he could see anything. He can't.

"Master, um.. Are you sure you're not afraid?" Suddenly, Bai Hao found the situation somewhat amusing. This was the first time he had seen his Master look this frightened. He was not even afraid when facing hundreds of chosen people.

Inside, Bai Xiaochun wailed in fear. However, outside, he was just glaring at Bai Hao.

"Omong is empty" he said loudly. "I? Afraid?! I'm not afraid of anything! ”

After that, he decided to change the subject. Pulling Bai Hao a little closer, he continued working with the command medallion, and simultaneously started chatting randomly with Bai Hao.

“So, my student, how have you been lately? Um... oh, how did the eighteen-color flame come? We're not going back to our store, you know, so we need to think of new ways to get more soul. ”

Bai Xiaochun continued chatting, changing the subject constantly. Although a strange expression could be seen on Bai Hao's face, he continued to answer questions. As the two chatted, time passed, and finally Bai Xiaochun started to run out of things to talk about. It was then that he told Bai Hao what happened during his meeting with the Grand Heavenmaster.

Previously, Bai Hao did not dare to let the slightest fluctuation out, for fear that he would be detected. Hence, he was not privy to what had happened between Bai Xiaochun and the Grand Heavenmaster. As Bai Hao listened, his expression turned extremely grim.

"Investigate who is loyal to Arch-Emperor …." Bai Hao was startled, and at the same time, realized that his Master had been dragged into an enormous network of intrigue.

Eyes flickering with intelligence, he gave his analysis of the situation, “Master, this is no small matter. Not only did the Grand Heavenmaster oppose the will of the majority by not killing us, but he then appointed you as the inspection commissioner …. Clearly, he used the fact that you offended so many people to use you as a tool! ”

"I thought of that as well," Bai Xiaochun said, his eyebrows danced. "Master is too amazing, isn't he?" Although Bai Xiaochun had temporarily stopped thinking about how frightening the place he was at was, he did not stop using the power of the mask to hide himself.

As for Bai Hao, he continued to ponder over the matter, using his superior intelligence to analyze how the situation would be most beneficial to his master.

“Master, this situation may be a good opportunity for us. All of that will come down to the position of Grand Heavenmaster …. He obviously likes you because of the way you offend everyone. Then ....he might want to use you, not just like a regular tool, but like a sharp knife! Sir, starting from here, the more people you hurt, the safer we are! ”

Bai Xiaochun had long since become convinced that Bai Hao was extremely intelligent, especially due to the incident with Sun Yifan and Sima Tao. Therefore, after hearing his analysis, he nodded in agreement.

Bai Hao was very happy to have the approval of his master. Eyes flickered with a strange light, he continued to think about this matter for a moment. Then he drew closer to Bai Xiaochun, lowered his voice, and said, “Master, I think I have an idea of what the Grand Heavenmaster is thinking. First, you need to smooth out the internal crisis. After that, you need to weaken the aristocracy …. In terms of tidying up the internal crisis, I have no plan how to do that. But as far as weakening the aristocracy .. when the time comes, I have a plan that will completely destroy the influential clans and other powers, and at the same time, I have, making you more valuable than ever to the Grand Heavenmaster! "

With that, he proceeded to outline his plan.

"Very cruel …." Bai Xiaochun muttered, his eyes widened.

"Master," Bai Hao replied calmly, "since we've started down this path, we should walk to the end …."
