Kondo Naosuke's first reaction after he came to his senses was to reach for the sword at his waist, but he quickly took it back.
Because the young military attache is very rational, facing a monster that is far superior to him, drawing his sword will only have the opposite effect until the moment of life and death.
Kondo Naosuke also had a piece of the raw ore of this ruler. He had tried to chop it with his sword with all his strength, but it only left some traces on the stone. But now the strange young man in front of him had used his bare hands to chop his ruler. split into two...
Kondo Naosuke was very sure that he did not feel any fluctuations in magic power, which proved that the other party relied on pure flesh.
monster.
These two words came to mind.
Even his immediate boss, the number one general under the command of Dazu, Lord Six Paths Luosuo, Kondo Naosuke is very sure that it is impossible to do what the young man is without using the magic power of the thunder element.
You must know that Master Luo Sui is of "foreign" blood, that is, he has half of the "monster" blood in his body. He is already a type of human being with innate divine power and infinite power.
Therefore, apart from "monster" to describe the young man in front of him, the young military attache could not think of a second adjective.
Fortunately, he still maintained his strength and made a fearless choice to meet these two people with ulterior motives alone. Thinking about it now, Naosuke Kondo broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
But fortunately...
It seemed that the other party had no ill intentions, and it was only after Naosuke Kondo recovered from Liao Zixuan's "convincing people with force" that he realized the second half of the sentence.
Baengnyeong Island...surprise attack...
! !
The shock that this information brought to the young military attache could be said to be no less than the previous one when Zhenchi was split into two.
call...
Taking a deep breath, Kondo Naosuke calmed down.
"Can I know your name?"
"Just call me Bai."
"Master Bai, can you tell me how you know about Bailing Island?" Naosuke Kondo asked in a very cryptic manner, without revealing any more. It was obvious that he was still trying to test things out.
But Liao Zixuan didn't have the patience or time, so he showed his cards directly.
"Naosuke-sama, I think it is good for both of us to know one thing, that is, we both have a common enemy, and... we both hope that Qiandao will change the status quo."
"As long as it's for this goal, it doesn't matter who I am or how I know this, does it?"
"..."
Military Attaché Nian was silent for a while after Liao Zixuan's words, as if he was thinking and hesitating, but he couldn't help but ask the last question.
"You have such great power, why...are you still looking for me?"
"First of all, I need the exact information you have about Bai Ling Island, and that this surprise attack must use you as the main force, at least the main force on the surface. I can only take action secretly to help you clear out the enemy's high-level combat power. As for reason..."
"The one from Yueyuan Grand Shrine, keep an eye on her." Liao Zixuan pointed out the name without naming him. Who knows if that blue-haired witch has any abilities that can be sensed when others mention her.
"You...you mean!" After Naosuke Kondo's eyes widened, he finally had no more doubts.
"Since you stopped talking, I'll take it as your tacit consent. Now tell me, how long will it take for you to gather the troops to carry out the stronghold operation on Baengling Island?"
"This... a week." Naosuke Kondo thought about it in his heart and gave this number.
But Liao Zixuan frowned after hearing this.
A week... is too long.
"Three days, three days, we will act together on Baengling Island." He raised three fingers.
"Three...three days!? This is too hasty..."
"The reason why you dare to take such a big risk and act without authorization is to save your adopted sister Kaori? You should know that if you stay in that place for one more day, your sister will be at greater risk of something unexpected happening to her."
"Before, you could say you were not sure, but now that I am secretly helping you, the only thing you need to do is to quietly gather your people."
"..."
"good...!"
Liao Zixuan started with Xiang Zhi, which hit the young military attache's pain point and made him grit his teeth and make a decision.
The end of what needs to be said is that when Naosuke Kondo got the scroll information recording the exact location of the stronghold, Liao Zixuan thought of something before leaving. He paused and turned around to say:
"Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't think about rescuing Kaori's father from Sin Prison Mountain. That old guy has lost his fighting spirit, just like most Qiandao people. This is why I came to find you. Not everyone dares to fight against fate."
"Ming...understood."
"But you don't have to be discouraged. I believe that after we obtain strong evidence from the stronghold, both them and the person from Yueyuan Grand Shrine will change."
Liao Zixuan looked at the somewhat depressed young military attache and cheered him up a little.
"Well! So, we must succeed this time! Then please leave it to Senior Bai!"
Kondo Naosuke used a very serious samurai salute to Liao Zixuan, which is the most common way for Qiandao people to express respect.
After Liao Zixuan nodded, he continued to walk out, preparing to leave.
but...
"Stop looking, let's go!" Liao Zixuan glared, still looking at Xia Qiuzi, who had been divided into two by him before.
Even during their conversation, this person secretly touched it with his hand and bit the ruler with his silver teeth to confirm whether it was genuine or not, and whether it was some kind of performance prop.
The hard feeling from her teeth and the pain that almost knocked her teeth off proved to Kasumi Qiuzi that this was indeed a real stone.
Hearing Liao Zixuan's call, Xia Qiuzi woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed him, and the two left Kondo Naosuke's secret room.
After they left, the young military attache who had been holding on just now finally felt his pressure suddenly reduced, his waist bent a little, and he took several long breaths.
Afterwards, Kondo Naosuke behaved the same way as Kasumi Akiko, and even he, as the owner of the Zhenchi, became suspicious, but the result was the same. He tried his best and did not see any movement from the Zhenchi.
"Why..."
This sigh may be due to his reluctance to suffer such a huge blow to his strength. It may also be due to the fact that he feels a little sorry for himself for breaking the Zhenzhi. This is a famous weapon imported from "Guili".
Speaking of leaving...
The return of the Astrologis was such a big news. As a high-ranking official in charge of the Dazu, Kondo Naosuke naturally paid special attention to it. He participated in the investigation and knew a lot of information.
He seemed to have seen before, a document to be submitted to the Palace Secretary, which stated that the "Qilin Pavilion", one of the Five Elements of Return, paid inexplicable importance to the disaster of the Astologis, and even sent a to the point where diplomatic envoys come.
The young military attache initially suspected that there was some important person from Guili on the ship, but based on today's return, it seemed that except for a businessman, there was no other Guili person...
wrong! Wait a moment!
Kondo Naosuke suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
The Guili people and the Thousand Islanders look very similar, and you can't tell them apart just by looking at their appearance. So could it be that the white senior who suddenly appeared is actually a passenger on the Astorogis?
If you calculate the time, it’s just right!
and...
Kondo Naosuke hurriedly found a document about the passengers on the ship that he started to investigate, and as expected, the person with Master Bai was one of them.
No wonder...
Kondo Naosuke suddenly felt that he had glimpsed a corner of the fog.
Because according to what the publisher said, the Astrologis encountered the legendary deep-sea serpent, but now it miraculously returned safely... That's right! Apart from Senior Bai, Naosuke Kondo could not find any other reason.
So...the person Qilin Pavilion is really looking for is Senior Bai?
To be able to attach such great importance to the Five Elements of Guili, and not hesitate to do cross-border diplomacy, coupled with that terrifying strength, Kondo Naosuke's eyes shine brightly! Two words flashed through his mind!
This time it's not a "monster" anymore, but...
Immortal!
He has heard about the returning immortals for a long time. It is said that some can ascend to heaven and escape from the earth, and some can fly and control swords. The immortal family's secrets are incomparable, and the art of self-cultivation and body refining is unparalleled in the world. It can be divided into many realms. Come to think of it, I didn't expect that he would be able to witness it with his own eyes today...
ah! Damn it!
It turned out that he still regarded Senior Bai as a monster!
It's so rude! After the matter is over, be sure to apologize solemnly again!
Kondo Naosuke was extremely regretful.
After some thinking, Liao Zixuan had gained the identity of "immortal" in the heart of the young military attache, and he had completely gained his loyalty. Kondo Naosuke no longer had any worries. After thinking for a while, he quickly walked out of the secret room.
Three days...
Although he was very nervous, fortunately, he had already quietly transferred a group of soldiers to Baengnyeong Island, all in the name of changing positions, so that they would not be easily discovered, but...
No matter what, let’s fight!
Kondo Naosuke was ready to give it a go. He could see that Liao Zixuan's attitude was that the sooner the better, and he would do it to the end without fear of being exposed. He was going to prepare the ship now, notify the soldiers, and then tomorrow night...
Directly lead the troops and travel by boat overnight!
Either take down the enemy stronghold in one fell swoop, or... after a large number of soldiers were found missing the next morning, they were arrested and imprisoned.
It turned out that he had planned to leave without returning, and his selfish motives were even greater. He mainly wanted to rescue Kaori and help her escape from the Thousand Islands.
But now...
Maybe, he can really... change Thousand Islands!
...
...
"You also heard the conversation in the room before. I'm going to Bailing Island soon. As for the method is very special, I definitely won't be able to take you with me."
After coming out of Dazu, Liao Zixuan said goodbye to Xia Qiuzi beside him.
I thought it would take a while, but unexpectedly, Xia Qiuzi nodded obediently.
"Okay, Mr. Bai...Senior Bai, in fact, even if you take me there, Bailing Island is far away from here and it takes more than half a day by boat. I still have relatives waiting for me on Yueyuan Island. You can’t go too far.”
After hearing this, Liao Zixuan had a dark look.
Such a big accident happened on the Astrologis. I finally got off the ship. It turned out that someone at home was worried about me. Instead of rushing home to report that I was safe, I ran around with him...
Xia Qiuzi also understood what Liao Zixuan meant, scratched her head in embarrassment and defended:
"It's okay, Senior Bai. There is only one sister in my family, and she makes fireworks. She has recently caught up with the witch election. She is probably very busy every day now. It will be fine if I go back a little later!"
Unfortunately, after explaining, all he got was a glare from Liao Zixuan.
"Then, I'm leaving! I'm going home now!" Xia Qiuzi shrank her neck, waved goodbye quickly, and turned around to leave.
However, before leaving, she mustered up the courage and said to Liao Zixuan seriously:
"Senior Bai! I sincerely wish you good luck in martial arts! I hope this real-life template can have a perfect ending, so... I will wait for the official news in the future!"
After Xia Qiuzi finished speaking, she ran away, while Liao Zixuan shook his head. It's not bad to have a recorder... so that when the players arrive, it can be regarded as a publicity tool invisibly?
Liao Zixuan seemed to understand why the snake would retain Xia Qiuzi's "loop" memory to some extent.
So next...
Liao Zixuan changed his mind and returned to the mentality of a little wolf cub. After that, he sent telepathy to Vivian. Although Bailing Island is far away from Yueyuan Island, as Xia Qiuzi said just now, it is half a day's boat ride on the sea.
But this distance is still enough for the little girl to directly teleport the summoned beast back to her.
This is also what Liao Zixuan mentioned, a special method.
Contact with Vivian was quickly established, which also reflected the efficiency of Liao Zixuan's decision at that time. After he finished his work, the little girl also arrived at Bailing Island by boat.
After a flash of white light, the little wolf cub disappeared from the spot.
Wait until it appears again...
First, a strong smell of herbs filled the tip of his nose. After the little wolf cub opened his eyes, he found himself in a small thatched house.
"Sorry, Xiao Hei, wait a moment, I'm a little busy here..."
In the thatched house, Vivian rarely went to see her son immediately. Instead, she was in a room that should be similar to a kitchen, concentrating on cooking a casserole.
The casserole was steaming, and the strong smell of medicine that the little wolf cub smelled just now came from here.
Fortunately, the astrologer girl Mei Ji was also in the room, acting as a temporary wolf climbing frame. After picking up the little wolf cub, she whispered into its ear to explain.
"That's it, Xiaohei. We followed the approximate direction on the previous map of Bangling Island and found a village nearby. Vivian originally said that she wanted to get information, but we found that there were many people in the village. They all have strange illnesses.”
Strange illness...
correct! During the previous performance of the witch candidate, the man who rushed onto the stage seemed to be a resident of Baengnyeong Island, and he also mentioned a strange disease.
The little wolf cub frowned, because judging from the way Vivian and Mei Ji looked now, this disease might not be that simple.
After that, Vivian wiped the sweat from her forehead. After the heat finally cooked the herbs, she said to the little wolf cub with a worried look:
"Xiao Hei, do you still remember that when we met in the forest, I was there to collect medicine for my brother's medical treatment?"
Could it be that...
Facing the little wolf cub's eyes that suddenly thought of something, Vivian nodded.
"The disease in this village is very similar to the symptoms my brother had at that time, so I wonder if he is also... falling into the abyss!"
