Chapter 1383: The Situation Is Settled! Bai Xiaosheng's Decision!
Mu Jinyu guessed that Bai Xiaosheng must have sneaked away, even if he went to Shennongjia, he would not find him.
But he still decided to go back and have a look at Shennongjia later.
After taking one last look at the sea area, seeing that nothing was missed, Mu Jinyu left with Yin Li.
Returning to Huaxia.
Within less than half an hour.
At full speed, Mu Jinyu quickly shifted from the Pacific Ocean to within Huaxia's territory.
Then returned to Yinlong Mountain.
He did not go to Shennongjia first, after all, if Bai Xiaosheng really wanted to slip away, half an hour was enough time to run away. If he didn't run, there was no rush.
He first went to find Mu Hongchen to inquire about the battle situation.
"Aunt Mu, how is it going? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Mu Hongchen saw Mu Jinyu return, with a bright smile on her face, and said, "There were no difficulties, everything went smoothly. Now, the branches of Withered Tree Quest for Spring and Paradise Lost are almost all cleared away, only a few branches remain. It won't be long before these two organizations are wiped out from the world."
Of course, without any surprises, Withered Tree Quest for Spring and Paradise Lost originally didn't have many strong members. Now, Yu Shenfeng's master and disciples, along with Gu Xiyan and the other six women, are all strong beings above the Fanxu Realm. With them leading the charge, how could the branches of these two organizations have any ability to resist?
Paradise Lost at least still had many high-level members in their main base, some even at the Unity Realm Stage, including both the president and vice president.
But Withered Tree Quest for Spring, which already ranked at the bottom among the Top Ten Organizations, was originally founded with the purpose of gathering manpower to search for the Fountain of Youth because the big bosses of various financial conglomerates didn't want to die from old age...
In such a way, how could Withered Tree Quest for Spring have any foundation to speak of?
Up to now, among the former Top Ten Organizations, the Heavenly Palace remains strong in the Kunlun Ruins, Dragon King Hall has begun to dominate on Earth's side, and among the four religious organizations, Fallen Splendor suffered relatively larger losses, while the rest remained intact.
And Slaughter Redemption has basically merged into Dragon King Hall.
Omniscient remains hidden in the shadows.
Withered Tree Quest for Spring is essentially destined to be erased.
And Paradise Lost is much like Withered Tree Quest for Spring, but this organization has a founder who might still be alive, which could be a variable.
"Hmm, that's good..."
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly after listening to Mu Hongchen's report on the war achievements in various regions, then said, "In that case, I'll also go find Omniscient and see whether to keep or eliminate them!"
Afterwards, Mu Jinyu let Yin Li act on his own, and he once again left Yinlong Mountain, heading towards Shennongjia!
In about five or six minutes.
At full speed, Mu Jinyu quickly arrived at Shennongjia.
Originally, Mu Jinyu thought Bai Xiaosheng would have long left that valley.
Unexpectedly, when Mu Jinyu arrived, Bai Xiaosheng, with his ugly appearance, was still sitting cross-legged on a black Profound Stone, seemingly waiting for him.
"You didn't leave?"
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng, Mu Jinyu couldn't help raising an eyebrow, speaking in a somewhat surprised tone.
"Why should I leave when I can't escape anyway."
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled.
Although his appearance was ugly, that smile carried a somewhat refined and cultured aura.
Mu Jinyu said, "Did you think I placed a Divine Thought Imprint on you?"
"No," Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "I know, Dragon King, you didn't do that. But I also know, after meeting with you, it will be much simpler for you to find me compared to before, so I didn't leave because even if I did, I would be found by you."
"So, you stayed behind, aren't you afraid I'll come after you?" Mu Jinyu's tone suddenly turned cold.
Bai Xiaosheng let out a bitter laugh and said, "If the Dragon King wanted to come after me, it would be useless for someone as insignificant as me to flee to the Ends of the Earth. Moreover, I don't think I've truly done anything to wrong the Dragon King."
"You indeed are smart." Mu Jinyu's tone softened slightly.
Bai Xiaosheng had guessed right, if he had simply run away this time, Mu Jinyu would still find it somewhat difficult to track him down. However, it would unquestionably be much simpler than before they met.
If Bai Xiaosheng left for no reason and avoided meeting him, Mu Jinyu would only believe Bai Xiaosheng had a guilty conscience, possibly having intentionally used him against Paradise Lost and Withered Tree Quest for Spring.
There might be more calculations waiting for him in the shadows!
Even if not, or if Bai Xiaosheng just intended a one-time mutual exploitation, Mu Jinyu would still not hold him in high regard.
The next encounter might not head to an immediate confrontation, but trust would not be easily gained again.
"Speak, what do you wish to do by waiting here?"
Mu Jinyu asked.
He knew Bai Xiaosheng could definitely not merely wish to avoid misunderstandings by leaving his True Body waiting.
Otherwise, he could completely leave behind a letter, or a projection of himself to speak with Mu Jinyu.
Actively leaving his True Body was probably to create a vulnerable atmosphere, indicating his life was always in Mu Jinyu's control, to converse better.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, sighed, "As expected, I cannot conceal from Dragon Master..."
After giving a compliment, Bai Xiaosheng continued, "This humble one waits here for Dragon Master, with no other intentions but to lead Omniscient and pledge loyalty to Dragon Master."
"Hmm?!"
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, Mu Jinyu was surprised despite having various guesses beforehand.
"Did you just say you want Omniscient to merge into my Dragon King Hall?"
A little doubtful if he heard wrong, Mu Jinyu asked again.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded, "Yes."
"Why?" Mu Jinyu asked curiously.
At the same time, he grew somewhat wary.
He felt the mystery and foundation of Omniscient might surpass Paradise Lost. For such a transcendent organization to suddenly wish to become his subordinate, something seemed amiss.
Bai Xiaosheng sighed, "In this great world, people like us are merely floating on the sea. Even though Omniscient holds a place among the Top Ten Organizations, much due to our ability to deduce the Heavenly Mechanism, hard-pressed to fit in."
"In terms of combat strength, we at Omniscient rank the lowest, even less than Slaughter Redemption and Withered Tree Quest for Spring..."
"Currently, Omniscient develops decently on Earth, but we've never excelled at combat. With Spiritual Energy gradually reviving, we'll eventually be endangered..."
"So, I have always been searching for a Lord to side with..."
Saying so, Bai Xiaosheng glanced up at Mu Jinyu, sincerely saying, "And in one glimpse of the future, I saw the Dragon Master's figure, thus thinking of leading Omniscient to integrate into Dragon King Hall like Slaughter Redemption."
"A glimpse of the future? You saw me? What was it?"
Intrigued after hearing Bai Xiaosheng, Mu Jinyu asked.
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head with some deep taboo, sighed, "I also couldn't see clearly, and it's indescribable...The Heavenly Mechanism cannot be divulged… let alone facing such a grand era..."
