Bai Bizi shook his head again and said, "Our sect leader is very mysterious, rumored to be the CEO of a certain conglomerate."
"As for what kind of conglomerate it is, or whether this person is male or female, we don't know."
"The tasks assigned by those above are passed down, and we are only responsible for carrying them out!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "What else do you know? Tell me everything!"
Hearing this, Bai Bizi said, "Master Cheng, this is all I know. It's all I can tell you."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "It seems you have no use to me anymore!"
Bai Bizi, hearing this, immediately realized something and cried out hysterically, "Master Cheng, don't kill me, I don't want to die..."
You don't want to die?
That's not up to you!
Your life is already in my hands.
If I want you to die, you must die!
Cheng Xiaofan waved the Demon Bone Blade, and a bloody light surged forward, instantly engulfing the other.
The most terrifying aspect of the Demon Bone Blade's killing technique is that once the bloody light erupts, it can annihilate anyone nearby, leaving not even a trace.
However!
Using this method to kill enemies consumes a lot of Yuan Ling. Under normal circumstances, Cheng Xiaofan would not do it.
After eliminating Bai Bizi, Cheng Xiaofan sheathed the Demon Bone Blade and stored it back into his spatial dimension.
"Old Tu, thank you!" Cheng Xiaofan once again expressed his gratitude to the Earth God.
The Earth God said, "Lord Shennong, please don't say that. As a local deity, this is my duty."
"However—"
He couldn't help but say worriedly, "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Although these five hidden black men have been eliminated, I'm afraid they won't give up. They will continue to send people to search for Ye Shisan."
The Earth God's meaning was clear. After all, Ye Shisan lived by Bai Mang Lake. What if the hidden black men found their way there?
Besides, you, Cheng Xiaofan, are a busy man and are often away from Zhuxi Village.
If the hidden black men were to appear at Bai Mang Lake and you, Cheng Xiaofan, were not around, there would likely be no one else in this area who could rush to Ye Shisan's rescue in time.
Cheng Xiaofan understood the Earth God's words perfectly. He nodded and said, "I'll go to Bai Mang Lake right away and have Ye Shisan move into the villa here."
Currently, Ye Shisan was a rare earth-element cultivator that Cheng Xiaofan had found. If anything were to happen to him, or if his golden core were taken by someone else, it would be unbearable for Cheng Xiaofan.
Through this incident, Cheng Xiaofan could imagine that for many years, the hidden black men had wanted to obtain the crystallized core from Ye Shisan, and it must have had significant, unspeakable purposes.
Furthermore, Ye Shisan might be the only earth-element cultivator in this world.
Otherwise, the hidden black men would not have relentlessly pursued him.
Cheng Xiaofan's top priority now was to ensure Ye Shisan's safety.
"Old Tu, this is the Golden Tea I'm giving you!" As Cheng Xiaofan bid farewell to the Earth God, knowing how much he enjoyed drinking Golden Tea, he took out two bags of Golden Tea from his spatial dimension and gave them to him.
The Earth God, overwhelmed with joy, accepted the Golden Tea and beamed, saying, "This humble deity thanks Lord Shennong!"
"Chirp—"
In the blink of an eye, the Sky-Piercing Eagle arrived, carrying Cheng Xiaofan into the sky and flying towards Bai Mang Lake.
On any other day, it would have taken at least ten minutes for the Sky-Piercing Eagle to carry Cheng Xiaofan to Bai Mang Lake.
But!
The Sky-Piercing Eagle now was far superior to its former self.
It could fly to the United States in just ten minutes, let alone Bai Mang Lake?
However, the Sky-Piercing Eagle understood Cheng Xiaofan's mood. There was no need to fly so fast for this distance, so it flew leisurely.
Ten minutes later.
The Sky-Piercing Eagle, carrying Cheng Xiaofan, appeared over Bai Mang Lake.
"Chirp!"
With a long cry from the Sky-Piercing Eagle, Ye Shisan, who was busy at the foot of the terraced fields, immediately looked up and saw Cheng Xiaofan flying over on the Sky-Piercing Eagle.
"Mr. Cheng, greetings!" Ye Shisan clasped his fists and bowed to Cheng Xiaofan in the air.
The Sky-Piercing Eagle was still more than fifty meters above the ground when Cheng Xiaofan leaped from it and descended.
Cheng Xiaofan landed in front of Ye Shisan and said with a smile, "Old Ye, I've come here in a hurry today, and I have to trouble you a bit. I want to invite you to move into my villa in Zhuxi Village!"
"Ah, Mr. Cheng, have I done something wrong here at Bai Mang Lake?" Ye Shisan asked anxiously, his face darkening with fear.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Old Ye, don't overthink it. You're such a good person, how could you do anything wrong here at Bai Mang Lake?"
"Having you guarding Bai Mang Lake makes me happy!"
Ye Shisan asked doubtfully, "Then why do you want me to move away from here, Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Xiaofan patted his shoulder and said, "Come, let's go inside and talk!"
Upon entering the house, Ye Shisan wanted to boil water to make tea for Cheng Xiaofan, but Cheng Xiaofan stopped him, saying, "Old Ye, don't boil water. I have a few words to tell you, and then you'll leave with me."
Ye Shisan had no choice but to stop and said, "Mr. Cheng, please speak!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a grim expression, "Those hidden black men have appeared again. They have already discovered your whereabouts and have come to Zhuxi Village."
"I'm worried that before long, those hidden black men will track you to Bai Mang Lake. For your safety, you must leave with me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shisan's face gradually revealed a look of joy.
"Haha, hidden black men, they actually found their way here!"
He clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "It's good that they've come, it's good! As long as they come, it will be my chance to avenge the old Daoist who raised me!"
Cheng Xiaofan was stunned and said, "Can you deal with those hidden black men?"
Ye Shisan pondered for a moment and said, "If those hidden black men truly arrive here, I might not be able to deal with them head-on. However, I can use underhanded tactics."
"I am an earth-element cultivator. As long as they appear in the Bai Mang Lake area, I will sense them. At that time, I can become invisible and hide underground. Combined with the cooperation of the earth-drilling rats, I can attack from the shadows and capture them all alive!"
"Master, please don't worry about Ye Shisan's safety here,"
At this moment, another voice sounded in Cheng Xiaofan's sea of consciousness, "Little White Dragon is also lurking beneath Bai Mang Lake. If anyone dares to cause trouble here, I will be the first to not let them go."
"Yes, I won't let them go either!" Long Yu also said in his sea of consciousness.
"And our thirty-six divine horses, their combat power is absolutely not inferior to that of ordinary martial arts masters!" Even Bai Jiangjun, the leader of the dates-red horses, spoke human language in his sea of consciousness.
Clearly, their arrival and conversation with Ye Shisan had been sensed by them through their spiritual awareness.
Cheng Xiaofan's eyes slowly closed. Little White Dragon, Long Yu, and the thirty-six dates-red horses all appeared in his sea of consciousness.
From the aura emanating from them, it was evident that they contained strong killing intent.
