In short, it was very profitable.
As for what he was going to do tonight, it was actually very simple.
There were many names written on the letter. These people were the backers of the people who had intercepted and killed Xu Bai on his way to the capital.
Many of them had already been dealt with by the Emperor in secret, but he had left a few tough bones for Xu Bai.
The reason was very simple. It was specially for Xu Bai to establish his prestige.
Xu Baiâs king was different. He specialized in killing kings, so prestige was one of them.
This was the best time.
Xu Bai lay on the chair and closed his eyes. He was still pondering in his mind.
He had a feeling that the Chu Emperorâs step was somewhat incomprehensible. This was because the matter of conferring a king seemed to be too hasty.
But he couldnât find any problem with his middle.
In short, the Chu Emperor definitely had other plans.
âLetâs go first.â Xu Bai opened his eyes and looked at the night sky outside the window.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.
Xu Bai carried Bai Lie on his waist. In the dark night, he walked alone in the Imperial City and left the city gate.
Along the way, no one stopped him. Even if some soldiers saw him, they would greet him respectfully.
After leaving the palace, he closed his eyes and thought about the contents of the letter, including the map. He opened his eyes again and walked in a certain direction.
The moon was round, but it was covered by a layer of dark clouds.
In a mansion, Xu Bai left with a knife dipped in blood.
These were all people who had wanted to harm him in the past. He had no pity for them.
Chaos and despair, gold and grayish-white, lit up all over the capital from time to time.
The next day.
When Xu Bai arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, the soldiers guarding it couldnât help but take a step back.
The weather was good during the day, and there were no clouds in the sky.
However, Xu Bail s body had a bloody smell that made peopleâs scalps go numb.
The black blade Hundred Rend was already covered in a thick layer of dried blood.
His Sun and Moon Daoist robe was also drenched in bright red blood, so red that it seemed to be dyed in color.
Even the soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time felt their hearts palpitate when they saw this scene.
Xu Bai walked step by step with his saber in hand until he arrived at the Emperorâs royal study.
No one stopped him. When the maids and eunuchs in the palace saw Xu Bai, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
âDong dong dong!â Xu Bai knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened automatically. The Chu Emperor sat in the room, looking at Xu Bai, who was covered in blood, and waved his hand.
Xu Bai smiled and wiped the blood off Hundred Break with his finger before walking in.
âWhy didnât you wash up before coming to see me? It seems like you are in a hurry.â The Chu Emperor poured a cup of tea for Xu Bai, completely unconcerned about the bloodstains on Xu Bail s hands.
Xu Bai took a sip of the hot tea and put down the teacup.ââWhen I was killing people last night, I suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to ask Your Majesty.â
âWhat you want to ask is that I made this decision in a hurry, right?â the Chu Emperor muttered.â
Xu Bai nodded and said without hesitation,âltâs true that enfeoffing a vassal king can solve the problem of Great Chu, but there are better ways to solve it. Moreover, thereâs no risk. Although this risk is useless to Your Majesty, itâs at least a risk.â
âOnce there are people who are close to Your Majesty, such as the Great Yue State and the Barbarian Race, they are likely to take advantage of this risk and bring about certain losses.â
The Chu Emperor smiled.â Thatâs why I asked you to make a move. With you around, these kings with different surnames wonât dare to act recklessly.âââ
Xu Bai rubbed his chin and didnât say anything. He just looked at the Chu Emperor, but his meaning was very obvious.
He didnât believe it.
The surroundings became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
In Xu Baiâs opinion, there was definitely something deep inside. Otherwise, the Chu Emperor wouldnât be in such a hurry. If he wasnât in such a hurry, he could have used other methods that werenât too dangerous.
Conferring the title of emperor was the fastest, but it was also the most problematic.
He had killed people last night, and as he killed, he had this idea.
The Chu Emperor was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed.âYou really want to know?â
Xu Bai nodded. He did not want to be kept in the dark.
There were some things that he had to be clear about before he could take action. Otherwise, he would rather not have this reward.
The Chu Emperorâs gaze focused. After a moment, he finally said,ââHave you heard of the Bizarre Market?â
Xu Bai was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he nodded.
âYou actually know about it?â The Chu Emperor was slightly surprised.
He didnât know what happened when Xu Bai entered the Bizarre City of Humans and Bizarre City of Demons. He only knew that Xu Bai had disappeared during that period of time.
âI know a thing or two, but what does the bizarre market have to do with being conferred the title of king?â Xu Bai said.â
He did not understand. What was the connection between them?
The Bizarre Market was filled with strange things. After people entered, their souls would quickly disappear and they would become idiots.
Similarly, the strangeness in the Bizarre Market would instantly become an idiot when it came to the human world.
The strangeness that was currently stuck here was also the same. Therefore, they did not have any rationality and only knew how to kill crazily.
âSince you know, I wonât explain the mechanism to you because I donât know much about it.âthe Chu Emperor said slowly.
âHowever, I know one thing, and itâs the most important thing.â
âIn this world, whoever can unify it has the right to lead the army straight up and break the sealed rules without losing their soul.â
âWhat benefits?â Xu Bai frowned.â
Even after hearing what the Chu Emperor had said, he still wanted to know what benefits there were.. After all, without any benefits, who would think of ways to enter that place?
