Chapter 255 Let me take you there!
In the dark world, in the squares of major cities, the scene of Niu Tian and Titan chatting and laughing in a villa on the sky screen plunged the place into a long silence.
Then, the silence was broken by a loud discussion.
"Just as I thought." A Soul Master stood in the center of the plaza, looking at the sky, his fists clenched tightly.
"Do you remember? A long time ago, Bai Xuanzi warned them in front of everyone that Tang San and those elders in the Bai World had ill intentions."
"Back then, Wang Dong'er even argued with Bai Xuanzi to defend those people. Looking at this scene now, it's simply absurd."
"You could say they were just lucky," another Soul Master said, shaking his head indifferently.
"If Bai Xuanzi hadn't protected him all the way, and if Huo Yuhao had foolishly gone to save people, he would probably be buried in the ground by now."
"Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er from our underworld were in a much worse situation back then, and they even lost their lives in Qiankun Wenqing Valley. Looking at this place now, it's all thanks to Bai Xuanzi."
"Yes, who can argue with that?"
These words were not concealed among the crowd.
For these underworld soul masters, betrayal is commonplace. What they despise most is the act of harboring illusions about enemies or traitors.
In their eyes, Bai Yuhao's current reaction was completely unnecessary.
"I'm curious now, the truth is out in their faces, what else are they going to do?" a young Soul Master asked, his eyes filled with a detached, detached detachment.
"Can we still help those two old bastards get away with this?"
"If they can really get away with it, then I'll truly admire them."
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
The atmosphere was heavy on the desolate, white wasteland.
Bai Xuanzi looked at Huo Yuhao, his tone completely calm.
"Do you understand?" Bai Xuanzi asked.
This question struck Huo Yuhao like a thunderbolt.
Huo Yuhao stood rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on the dissipating light screen. His body trembled slightly, the tremor spreading from his fingertips throughout his entire being.
"I don't believe it," Huo Yuhao said, his voice dry and even a little hoarse. "How could this be! Uncle Niu Tian and Uncle Titan couldn't have betrayed us. They're Dong'er's fathers, how could they..."
He kept retreating, each step leaving a deep imprint on the soil beneath his feet.
His eyes were filled with resistance. He desperately wanted to erase the images he had just witnessed from his mind, to dismiss the words he had just heard as fiction. It was his instinctive resistance as a human being facing a truth that completely overturned his understanding.
Wang Dong'er stood beside him, her face deathly pale. She didn't speak, but her hand gripped Huo Yuhao's sleeve tightly, a testament to her extreme unease. She couldn't accept any of this either; the Niu Tian in that scene was utterly unfamiliar.
Bai Xuanzi observed their reactions without showing any surprise. He simply watched them as if they were two children lost in a dream, unwilling to wake up.
Meanwhile, in the plaza of the Dark World, the Soul Masters, observing the reactions of the two figures in the sky, erupted into an even more intense discussion.
"Still denying it? Have these two lost their minds?"
"Exactly! They saw what they were doing with their own eyes, and they still deny it? Are these two crazy?"
"I'm really impressed. I thought they were so smart, but now it seems they're just idiots when it comes to this."
"What are they even arguing about? Those kinds of elders, killing them wouldn't be enough to vent their anger, yet they're trying to defend them?"
The Soul Masters' accusations rose and fell, and everyone found Bai Yuhao's behavior incomprehensible.
In their view, the truth is already so stark that continuing to deny it would only seem ridiculous.
Hei Xuanzi's laughter sounded particularly jarring in the shadows.
He laughed as he slapped his thigh hard.
"Hahahaha, what an idiot! Absolutely stupid!" He laughed as he slammed his fist against the wall, his knuckles cracking.
"You don't believe this? Hahahaha! As expected, a fool's disciples are fools too!"
As he watched the scene, the perverse pleasure on his face reached its peak.
"Bai Xuanzi, stop sighing. If you've got the guts, take them to see for yourselves! Isn't it said that hearing is believing? Let them see for themselves how those so-called elders point knives at them! Take them there! Let them see just how cruel reality can be!"
He seemed to be venting all the resentment deep in his heart through these words.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Bai Xuanzi sighed helplessly.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's almost hysterical denial, the helplessness on his face eventually turned into decisiveness.
He waved his hand, signaling the two to shut up.
"Still don't believe me?" Bai Xuanzi's gaze was icy, carrying an aura of authority that made people afraid to look him in the eye. "Since you insist on deceiving yourselves, then fine, I'll grant your wish."
He swayed slightly, his hands forming an intricate hand seal in front of him.
A powerful spatial fluctuation erupted from his body.
"Follow me."
"Since you don't believe me, I'll take you to see for yourselves."
"Let's see what you really trust."
As he finished speaking, a massive spatial portal opened directly in front of the two of them.
Behind that portal lay a distorted space, one that did not belong here.
Bai Xuanzi stepped inside without looking back.
"Keep up."
He left only these two words.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er stood before the doorway. They exchanged a glance, seeing fear in each other's eyes, but even more so, an urge to immediately uncover the truth.
Without hesitation, they stepped into the beam of light.
The scene on the sky abruptly ended there.
The atmosphere in the plaza of the Black World fell completely silent.
No one spoke anymore.
Many people felt speechless.
Although Bai Yuhao has great talent in cultivation, he is also too well protected by Shrek Academy in the White World.
This resulted in him remaining extremely naive; in fact, it felt as if he might be even more naive than Huo Yuhao of the underworld at the same time.
Therefore, after witnessing the scene that had just appeared in the sky, many soul masters in the dark world only wanted to see Titan and Niu Tian exposed by Bai Xuanzi as soon as possible.
So they all silently gazed at the sky.
