Chapter 368: Little Blue’s Mutation

In Bai Xi’s estate, Lin Bai looked at the distant horizon. His long and narrow brows were slightly furrowed. His gaze was deep and calm, as if he was thinking about something.

The slightly stooped butler Elder Shi with snow-white hair on his temples stood quietly by the side without the slightest hint of impatience.

A few days ago.

When Lin Bai brought Bai Xi, who was covered in blood and had fallen into a coma, along with a large group of people whom he did not recognize, Elder Shi felt his heart thump.

He wondered if young master Bai Xi had been implicated by this man in front of him. After he found out Lin Bai’s real name, he was filled with fear and wondered if he should “ask for help”.

After a period of contact, Elder Shi understood the ins and outs of the matter and heaved a sigh of relief.

After a series of conversations with Lin Bai, Elder Shi learned that although this young man was now known as the “Great demon”, he made people feel like breathing Spring wind in their conversations. He was frank and righteous. When he spoke and did things, he exuded a fierce aura and a deep shrewdness.

Therefore, Elder Shi admired Lin Bai from the bottom of his heart. He also wanted to build a relationship for his young master. If Lin Bai asked him to do something, Elder Shi would do it without hesitation.

Elder Shi looked at the spiritual beasts that were lying down, playing, and flying. He was amazed.

He was a cultivator to begin with. In addition, he was already very old and had been wandering around when he was young. It could be said that he had more experience than most people. However, even so, every time he saw these spirit beasts, Elder Shi could not help but shake his head.

Monstrous!

Insane!

Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns!

But they were all taken in by a man!

What kind of luck did he have to do this?

Even the heavens were jealous!

“Well…”

Hearing Lin Bai muttering to himself, Elder Shi quickly retracted his gaze and stood at the side cautiously.

“Elder Shi, this pill refining association’s sudden change in attitude seems a little strange to me. It doesn’t mean that they’re going to harm me, but that some things have been hidden by them.”

Lin Bai said indifferently as he stroked Little Blue’s fur with one hand. Little Blue’s fur became even more shiny and smooth, making Lin Bai unable to put it down.

“This…” Elder Shi paused for a moment, “Perhaps it’s because the Alchemist Association is now leaderless. In addition, they’ve always been in charge when the City Lord was slandering you as a demon. Therefore, they’re doing this now firstly to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of you, and secondly because there are people from the Alchemist Association who want to correct their reputation so that they can sit in the highest position.”

When Elder Shi said “The highest position,” he pointed a finger at the sky.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, “Let’s go and check it out. I keep feeling that something is fishy. It can’t be as simple as it looks.”

After Elder Shi heard that, he quickly agreed and did not have any objections to Lin Bai’s words. He changed the topic and continued,

“Earlier today, there were people in the city who initiated a crusade to hunt down the City Lord. They found some traces in the northeast of the city.”

Elder Shi saw that Lin Bai did not have any attitude and continued to speak.

“There was a group of bandits who claimed the mountain as theirs. There were more than thirty people who died tragically in the mountain stronghold. The blood on these thirty-odd corpses dried up and their internal organs disappeared. It must be related to the City Lord.

“Unfortunately… These people have been dead for more than three days.”

Hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes lit up. As he had expected, the City Lord did not die in the collapse of the secret chamber. Instead, he escaped.

Northeast…

Lin Bai thought about what was in the northeast after he succeeded, but he could not find too many clues after thinking about it.

The traces left three days ago. Now, it would be difficult to find the whereabouts of the City Lord!

Lin Bai could not help but sigh.

Lin Bai turned his head to look at Elder Shi and said with a smile, “Elder Shi, you’ve worked hard. However, please pay more attention to this information.”

Elder Shi nodded in agreement, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Lin Bai held a cup of tea in his hand. As he thought about what to do next, he looked at the little beasts in the courtyard.

The two little beasts that were the most restless, Little Blue and Little Black, could no longer hold themselves back and began to spar with each other.

Lin Bai did not stop the Spirit Beasts from doing this. Instead, he encouraged this kind of behavior.

Little Blue’s body was emitting a black-gold luster. With small steps, it rushed towards Little Black’s side. At the same time, she stretched out a fist and smashed towards Little Black’s hind leg.

Little Black’s black eyes flashed with disdain. He pushed his body to the side of Little Blue, trying to use his body to deal with little blue.

If it were any other spiritual beast, this action would be no different from sending a sheep to the tiger’s mouth.

However, Little Black’s abnormal defense was the capital for him to act recklessly.

Just as Little Black was about to take the first step and hit Little Blue’s heart, Little Blue’s face revealed an unbridled smile. Its evil plan had succeeded.

Little Blue’s feet did not exert any strength, but its body floated up. The fist that was aimed at Little Black’s back leg was also aimed directly at Little Black’s head.

Seeing this, Lin Bai’s face was somewhat gratified.

By now, Little Blue had already mastered the use of its tail. It was flexible in battle and could make its opponent confused.

However, Little Black was not willing to be outdone. Its body was covered in a dense luster. A layer of faint mist suddenly rose up, and its head directly met Little Blue’s fist.

Bang!

The fist and the head collided!

The violent impact caused the stone slabs under the two little beasts’ feet to shatter and caved in!

Little Black, who had thought that it was going to win, could not help but be stunned for a moment by Little Black’s violent counterattack.

Little Black’s jet-black eyes lit up. It seized the opportunity and slashed at Little Black’s chest with its claws that were emitting a cold air and were surrounded by blue water vapor.

“It’s over!”

Lin Bai put down the Teacup in his hand, stood up slowly, and took a step forward.

However, before he took this step, he was stunned.

Buzz!

A saint’s voice sounded from the surface of Little Blue’ body, accompanied by a burst of black and gold light!

The black and gold patterns on Little Blue’s body were flowing with a strange luster, like armor that covered the surface of his body, protecting Little Blue’s entire body!

Bang!

Little Blue’s claws attacked and scratched the black and gold patterns!

The powerful force forced Little Blue to take a few steps back before he managed to stabilize his body.

Little Blue subconsciously looked at its chest. Its face was full of confusion. Its chest was unharmed, not even a hair had fallen off.

Little Black’s jet-black eyes were also blinking, filled with disbelief.

Little Black’s believed in its control of power. That claw just now would definitely be able to break through Little Blue’s defense and leave a flesh wound on Blue’s chest.

But it was completely unharmed!

Little Black looked at the claw and then at Little Blue. It was puzzled.

Only then did Lin Bai appear. Standing between the two little beasts, he patted the heads of the two little beasts.

“Well, this sparring session ends here. Little Black, don’t be too discouraged.”
