69 VASSAL PILL

Bai jie was running through the forest unbeknown to his disciple's view of him.  He was feeling very suffocated. He ran from the cave he saw a nearby tree and punched.

His Fist broke the small tree in half.

" ahhhhhhh" Bai Jie shouted towards the sky, he never felt this vulnerable in his whole life.

It took a lot of effort from him to feel safe in his life but now he was powerless again. Bai Jie gritted his teeth in frustration.

Bai Jie opened his system.

A Blue screen flashed in front of him.

host - Bai jie

race - human parasite

body strength - 21 bia

cultivation strength - 32 bia (16 bia)

Life energy - 17100 (171 days)

cultivation - 4 mortal stage (0/24)

Bai Jie opened his simulation to see if the symbols appear there. But they didn't he believed if he could see those symbols he might be able to find a way to get rid of them.

Bai started walking in the forest towards the cottage.

" I hope she found out who it was," mumbled Bai Jie. He needed to find out who is after him wanting to kill him. Before, he made his escape with Yi Ying. So he can think of countermeasures.

The night was very calm, The trees were dancing and Bai Jie took a deep breath. He felt his mind calm down. He could hear the sound of different insects and saw some birds he had never seen before.

' This is beautiful. ' Bai Jie felt at peace. He moved while enjoying his surroundings, back in his world there weren't any places like these most of the forests were wiped off.

Bai Jie suddenly smelled a light fragrance coming from one of the directions he followed the smell he felt very refreshed. After walking for a while.

Bai Jie saw a large tree hidden in a cove on one side of the mountain. The tree seemed very old, its trunk was almost about 3 meters. The tree looked very lush while a beautiful smell was emanating from it. It looked very different from other trees like one of its own. While no other tree was near within 50 meters, not even a grass.

Bai Jie sat down under the tree.

" haha, Old friend you are also alone in this place. I am too," said Bai Jie while supporting his back to the tree while looking towards the sky.

"I am a little talkative type and you seemed more of a quiet one. Would you believe it I am an Alien, I am a political emissary I should be treated with respect look at how these people treat me they want to kill me here let me tell you one day I will surely make them suffer, especially that Ji Lan the so-called my wife's family I think they are psycho both daughter and father cut from the same cloth. While a pure man like me is stuck " Bai Jie started talking nonstop he couldn't reveal these things to anyone but these things were eating him away from inside. He didn't even realize he was feeling very refreshed under this fragrance, more like intoxicated.

" Can I call you Greeny of course if you don't mind. There is also that Han Bing her name should be changed to Han Bong that's what her name should be, Also that blue-eyed demon Alice I feel like I am standing on a quicksand drowning deeper and deeper. Well if you were in my world you would have already turned into furniture, Oww" Bai Jie felt something fall on his head suddenly. It looked like a fruit" sorry I misspoke "

Bai Jie suddenly realized he just apologized to a tree.

" haha, I am losing my head but thanks for listening. If you need someone to talk to, you can also find me off course if you can find me though. " Bai Jie laughed with a self-mocking smile. But he felt a lot better throwing things out like this. He felt his mind clear up after eating the fruit and the fragrance was very calming too.

When Bai Jie left the place a small white snake climbed down the tree. It was looking towards his direction. The snake had yellow eyes with silvery patterns on its body. While a small tongue was producing a hissing sound while nodding its head. The snake was merely about the length of a hand.

Bai Jie wore his cloak again and went towards the cottage. He realized he was quite far away from the village deeper in the forest. ' When did I get so far away? ' thought Bai Jie. He sped towards the village again.

Along the way, he was feeling very tense about his current situation again.

But he tried to focus on that by tomorrow morning he had to be ready to leave this village. It's too dangerous here.

After running for a while Bai Jie reached near the cottage he wanted to absorb the corpses that he left behind before. He activated his spirit sense to scan the surroundings.

Suddenly Bai jie noticed someone near the cottage hiding on a tree.

' She is still here. ' Thought Bai Jie. From his estimation, it's already almost an hour or two.

******************

" Would he really come here," mumbled Su Ling. While Han Bing went back Su Ling stayed here. Han Bing had suggested for Su Ling to wait here till morning with the information about the Red cross gang. While Han Bing will wait in the Heavenly Pavilion.

" Why are you still here? " suddenly Su Ling heard a voice behind her. He was standing 20 feet away from her on the ground. Su Ling who was hiding on a tree felt fear rise suddenly hearing the voice.

Her feet slipped and she directly fell down right on her butt.

" Ahh Bastard, Senior I mean senior you are here I was waiting for you. " Su Ling suddenly felt her soul leaving her body. She quickly calmed herself. She got up and started walking towards Bai Jie.

" This " Bai Jie suddenly felt chill run down his spine. ' This is what is happening ' Bai Jie felt his heart racing again. He knew what this feeling was: its fear.

"Stay where you are and Why are you here. " Bai Jie asked again; he could not make sense of why she was here. He himself was here for corpses to absorb them. Bai Jie had another wave of many questions rose up in his heart because he thought he was finally cured. ' was it the fruit I have to check again. ' thought Bai Jie while raising his vigilance.

"I was just waiting here for you. " Su Ling said with a straight face she stopped moving towards him. Her years of experience were not to scoff at. She didn't mind the rude tone it is expected from such a strong master.

" One more lie and deal is over " Bai Jie replied he wasn't up for playing games. He clearly saw the spirit energy fluctuation while she was speaking through his parasite vision.

" This" Suddenly Su Ling felt surrounded by a deathly aura again. She could feel those red eyes like they could see through everything.

" I am looking for someone, " replied Su Ling hastily. She realized it would be a disaster if he got angry.

" Who," Bai Jie asked in a domineering tone, not letting her go.

' In this barren place, who are you looking for? 'Thought Bai Jie. He noticed she wasn't lying anymore.

"It's a mortal senior, it's related to the people you asked us to find," replied Su Ling.

" Explain. " Bai Jie said again. He was trying to act as a strong expert.

" It's this guy. " Su Ling brings out a scroll with Bai Jie's picture drawn on it. Bai Jie's eyebrows jumped but due to the cloak, it wasn't visible.

" What has anything to do with this guy," asked Bai Jie.  He wanted to say handsome guy but he somehow controlled himself.

" Everything has to do with him, Senior the Red Cross Gang is a small gang of rogue cultivators and they are looking for him in the whole village," replied Su Ling in a hateful tone. She believed he was also the source of all her trouble.

" Their base is in the slum area of the village south of here, they own a Gambling house and the name of their leader is Du Bigwen. He is a fifth mortal stage. " Su Ling continued explaining about the gang to the best of her ability.

Bai Jie was very satisfied with such detailed information. He wasn't expecting such a detailed report. Su Ling told him that there are 100 mortals working for them.

While 30 of them are cultivators.

" Good " Bai Jie nodded. He finally had some clue to find out who wanted to kill him.

" Senior that's all we were able to gather," replied Su Ling with her head lowered. While cold sweat rolled down her spine. She knew it wasn't the complete truth.

" Hmm," Bai Jie saw another fluctuation. ' Is she still hiding something? ' thought Bai Jie. But he didn't dwell on it too much.

" Now leave, the deal is over " replied Bai Jie with a harsh tone. He wanted to absorb the bodies lying here.

" Yes. " Su Ling sighed in relief as she felt a large catastrophe had been averted.

Su Ling didn't wait anymore before leaving. She left hastily.

Bai Jie saw her leave and sighed in relief.

" There is someone with fifth stage cultivation with the strength of my body, this shouldn't be much harder," mumbled  Bai Jie. He had to take revenge before leaving.

Bai Jie moved towards the bodies of the people he killed. When he reached near them he saw one he tried to interrogated had his lips turned blue.

" What happened. " Bai Jie grabbed him off the bodies he forcefully opened his mouth and saw that insides have been completely turned blue. He carefully looked through the mouth and found a symbol under the tongue.

" What is this " Bai jie saw a symbol it was forming like a pentagon. He saw the symbol on Ling Tian's neck. It was triangular. But this was a pentagon.

Bai Jie checked everyone else he found everyone had a similar mark on them.

"I think I saw something like this where I saw it. " Bai realized he had seen the symbols like these suddenly. It came into his mind.

Bai jie waved his hand and a book appeared in his hand.

' POISON MASTER RANK 1'

Bai Jie flipped through the book quickly he found the symbol it was inscribed on a pill in the book.

" VASSAL PILL " Bai Jie found the pill the more he read about the more he felt terrified he had the exact same pills he got from Uncle Lin. In common words, it meant slave pills.
