Chapter 265 Waiting For The Rabbit At The Tree
“Fool Li, I can only let you suffer a little here first. I’m sorry… But don’t worry, I’ll definitely let this matter end. When that time comes, I’ll bring the head of the culprit to see you!”
“Believe me, you won’t wait too long!”
Under the pitch-black night, Lin Bai stood halfway up the mountain. At this moment, his tall and straight figure seemed a little lonely under the rustling night wind.
On the ground not far behind him, there was a piece of soil that was warm and wet. It rose slightly and formed a small mound of soil. The mound of soil was surrounded by rocks of different shapes.
This was Fool Li’s grave.
Lin Bai looked into the distance. His expression was calm and his gaze was firm. However, there were flames dancing in the depths of his eyes. His new head was filled with all sorts of feelings.
Fool Li activated all of his cultivation and activated the mountain protection formation. He fought with He Qingyuan to the death in order to save Lin Bai.
It could be said that if it weren’t for Fool Li, Lin Bai would have been captured by the City Lord and the others. After that, what he would have to face would be a life-or-death situation.
And the disguised City Lord would get what he wanted. He would make this large and prosperous capital into his possession. After that, the people in this city would have to face a tragic darkness. Lin Bai would never allow such a thing to happen!
Lin Bai lowered his head and looked at his right palm. Relying on the weak moonlight, he could clearly see that there was a thumb-sized porcelain bottle in his palm. The porcelain bottle was engraved with fine and delicate patterns, this was what Fool Li had given to Lin Bai before he died.
Before Fool Li died, he did not have the time to say what was the use of this. However, before he died, he had to tell Lin Bai about the porcelain bottle, which meant that the things in the porcelain bottle must be very important.
Lin Bai carefully opened the porcelain bottle, then held the porcelain bottle in his palm and poured it out. A few small pills were poured out. The pills were completely black and no one could tell their characteristics.
After confirming it, Lin Bai put the pills in front of his nose and took a sniff. The pills were tasteless, but it made Lin Bai feel a refreshing feeling like breathing in fresh wind. His entire body warmed up slightly.
This pill was like a small sun!
Could it be?!
Lin Bai’s heart trembled. He had a bold idea, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Fool Li, just watch carefully. I will not let your sacrifice go to waste!”
Lin Bai’s voice was very soft, but his tone was unexpectedly firm and unquestionable.
He glanced at the small mound of dirt that buried Fool Li and slowly walked forward, blending into the pitch-black darkness of the forest.
“How’s the situation on your side? Have you found that demon Lin Bai? The City Lord has just given an order. If we can’t find him, we’ll be punished!”
“Still nothing. I wonder where that demon is hiding. How hateful. He has the guts to do things, but he doesn’t have the guts to bear the consequences. Despicable and shameless scum! Damn it!”
“Our people are everywhere in the capital. It’s even more impossible for him to escape. Demon Lin Bai definitely hasn’t escaped! We must find him. No one can bear the City Lord’s Blame! Get your men to be more efficient. Don’t rest. Keep looking!” “But…”
“But we don’t even have any traces left by Lin Bai and that Fool Li…”
“Cut the crap. Are you going to suffer the wrath of the City Lord!? Or don’t you want to uphold justice for the heavens and capture this demon who wants to harm the human world! ?”
After a long time, Lin Bai came to the outer side of a residential area. He hid in the shadows of the buildings and looked into the distance.
In the distance, there was a group of people who were quarreling non-stop. Just from their tone, Lin Bai could tell that they were in a terrible situation, like ants on a hot pan.
It was not their fault. After Lin Bai escaped with Fool Li, he was careful with every step he took. He paid attention to whether he left any traces behind. If he did, he would cover it up.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to hide until now.
After arguing for a long time, the group of people split up and ran toward different parts of the city.
Lin Bai waited patiently for a while before walking out from the shadows of the buildings and slowly running toward the east side of the residential area.
He ran until he was far away from the residential area and the surroundings seemed a little deserted. Only then did Lin Bai stop and hide on a big tree.
Looking from afar, there was a huge courtyard in front of him. The lights in the courtyard were dim at the moment, and only a few rooms were lit up. However, it was very quiet outside the courtyard, and the people who were searching for Lin Bai could not be seen.
This was Bai Xi’s residence, and Lin Bai had used his memory to find it.
If Lin Bai’s plan was to be carried out, then Bai Xi would be an essential part of it. Without Bai Xi, the difficulty would increase by several levels.
For this, Lin Bai wanted to take a gamble. He wanted to bet that Bai Xi did not completely believe the bewitchment of the fake City Lord.
However, looking at Bai Xi’s residence, Lin Bai could not help but frown.
“Isn’t this place a little too quiet?!”
A strange feeling suddenly arose in Lin Bai’s heart. He carefully sized up the courtyard, but he still didn’t find anything unusual.
“Little Black, Little Green, you two split up and walk from both ends. Don’t let anyone discover
you!”
Lin Bai quietly let Little Black and Little Green out and gave the order. Little Black and Little Green obediently nodded after hearing it, and then sneaked into the darkness.
Seeing that Little Black and Little Green had disappeared, Lin Bai did not rush out. After silently counting twenty times in his heart, a gust of wind arose under his feet, and his figure was like a shadow. He came to the tall wall of the courtyard and quietly climbed in.
In Bai Xi’s courtyard, on two three-story-high roofs, two pale-faced people dressed in black quietly hid there, relying on the buildings to perfectly blend into the darkness.
The auras of these two people were very weak, and their spiritual power was even harder to sense. They must be stealth experts. It was no wonder that Lin Bai and the owner of this courtyard, Bai Xi, couldn’t sense them at all.
“Big brother, we’re waiting here for the rabbit. Could it be that we’re waiting for the demon Lin Bai? I don’t think Lin Bai is that stupid to come here!”
One of the short and fat men dressed in black asked his big brother beside him in a low and hoarse voice.
“Hmph, have you forgotten how Lin Bai toyed with He Qingyuan and the others? The most dangerous place is the safest place… However, I also feel that Lin Bai will not come here. However, the City Lord wants us to keep an eye on Bai Xi. The City Lord suspects that she has already been influenced by this devil, Lin Bai.”
The tall and thin man beside him said disdainfully with a sharp voice.
The two of them lowered their voices so that only the people next to them could hear them.
“That’s why we’re waiting here for nothing. I still want to capture that demon to receive my reward… Unfortunately, why is it that such a good thing never happens to me?”
The fatty’s face was filled with pity, and he didn’t dare to clench his fists.
The thin man’s lips curled up. “Don’t think it’s a pity. We don’t seek merit, but we seek to avoid mistakes. We can do nothing here and still get benefits from the City Lord… Fatty, look, what is that?!”
