When the news of the death of the imperial captain was supposed to be full of wind and rain in the city, and even directly triggered the fight between the two families.

The Ram family was even prepared.

But it turned out to be calm.

It's eerily quiet.

Until midsummer, the Son of Heaven called Xia Bai to the imperial study.

This white-clothed sword demon has not been idle during this time, he has been consulting the palace materials, historical materials, and has some gains that can only be regarded as speculation.

The old eunuch found him in the Imperial Palace's Scripture Pavilion.

When the door opened, Xia Bai was holding an ancient map and measuring it with a ruler.

"The emperor summoned you. ”

The old eunuch is not a fool, he is faintly aware of the status of this white-clothed eunuch, it seems that there is something peculiar, and he must not put up a fight in front of him.

In the pillar of light cast from the roof, Xia Bai rolled up the map, inserted it into the painting tube, and gently responded, and followed the old eunuch to the imperial study after the scattered dynasty.

"Brother Xia!"

The Son of Heaven greeted with a smile on his face, and on the desk of the precious wood in the imperial study, there was a brocade box.

Xia Bai just glanced at it, "The emperor summoned me, I don't know what's going on." ”

Xuan Dan reversed the brocade box and made a gesture of please.

Seeing this, Xia Bai didn't twist, but directly stepped forward and opened the box.

His eyes narrowed.

Because inside the brocade box is the head of a strange man.

"This is Tu Ao, the head of the Tu family. ”

Xuan Dan smiled, "It's a gift from my Assassin family to Brother Xia. ”

Xia Bai was stunned, he went through it in his mind, and he sorted out the cause and effect.

The Son of Heaven knew that he had a feud with the Tu family, so he killed the head of the Tu family's retreat in a way that was resolute and not only cost him, so he would never suffer for himself, and put his head in front of him.

The hardships of the process, the turmoil of the rivers and lakes, and the sacrifices in the darkness... I don't know how many.

It seems to be an easy "gift", but it hides unimaginable dedication.

"Brother Xia is a person who is afraid of trouble, so I will help you strangle the trouble. ”

Xuan Dan looked at the white-clothed sword demon very frankly.

Xia Bai thought about it, there were indeed loopholes in the field hunting trip, after all, there were so many people with hearts, as long as they were judged by the front and back, they might not be able to draw a conclusion.

In a way, this human head has helped me solve my problems.

Therefore, Xia Bai asked: "What do you want from you to please me so much." ”

The Son of Heaven looked at the person in front of him solemnly: "I just want that at the critical moment, Brother Xia will help me kill someone." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "At that time, the Night Emperor of my assassin family will also make a move." ”

Xia Bai thought of the number one assassin in the world who was the fifth in the top seven that he saw on the list of heroes of the storm.

Squinted his eyes, "The Son of Heaven wants to kill the number one 'Wonder Man in the World, Sword Mania' Ye Gongwang?"

Xuandan shook his head.

Xia Baiqi said: "The Son of Heaven is going to kill the second 'old immortal' Ding Buti of the seventh grade?"

Xuan Dan still shook his head.

Xia Bai asked again: "That's... A hermit who wasn't on the list, but was actually extremely strong?"

Xuan Dan continued to shake his head: "No, it's neither." Brother Xia was mistaken. It's likely that the person I'm going to kill is just someone who doesn't know martial arts, or who has mediocre martial arts. ”

Xia Bai laughed and reacted normally: "Then the Son of Heaven doesn't even need to invite your Night Emperor out, as long as the Night Emperor sends a first-class killer, it will be more than enough." ”

The Son of Heaven shook his head: "No, it's not enough, even if the Night Emperor is carrying his head and holding the heart of death, he may not succeed, only Brother Xia will be by his side, whether it is your lord or the Night Emperor, only two of them will have hope." ”

Xuan Dan's tone was extremely solemn, and what he said was extremely serious.

The atmosphere in the solemn entire hall was extremely oppressive.

"Who does the Son of Heaven want to kill?"

Xia Bai was really curious.

Xuan Dan didn't seem to dare to say it, but just picked up a pen and wrote four words on the paper, "Destiny returns".

When the word Gui fell, there was a thunderclap in the clear sky outside the palace, and the Son of Heaven hurriedly tore the paper into shreds, and then pointed to the west.

"I don't know who this person is now..."

Xia Bai already understood.

The Son of Heaven said before that the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, and the general trend of the world would be divided for a long time, so now he wants to find out this person who secretly agrees with the Mandate of Heaven, and let the Night Emperor partner with the seventh in the world to form a terrifying assassination team to completely kill this Son of Destiny.

But with the blessing of the gods, this assassination will be extremely difficult, and life and death are unknown.

Seeing Xia Bai groaning, thinking.

The Son of Heaven was very patient, and suddenly said: "I am not greedy for this glory and wealth, if it is really for this, I have already enjoyed everything in the north..."

He's said it before, and he's going to explain it now.

But Xia Bai was in his mind.

Huang Quan exploded: "Reject him!"

Biluo followed and coaxed: "Xia Bai, refuse him." ”

"Why?"

Xia Bai was simply puzzled.

Huang Quan said in a deep voice: "It's useless, the Son of Destiny can't move, just like this general trend is not mortal, and even we can't stop it." ”

Xia Bai had already heard this big snake demon say many times, "You can't fight against the gods."

"How strong are the gods?"

He couldn't help but ask the question curiously again.

Huang Quan laughed at himself: "Xia Bai, what do you think of the strength of me and Biluo?"

Xia Bai felt the prompt of "Threat Level 10", and said sincerely: "I have never seen a stronger existence than you. ”

Huang Quan laughed, but laughing worse than crying: "At the beginning, the aura was revived, and at the end of the chaotic world of demons, the gods descended to earth and crushed all beings, and later... I only knew that this mortal god was just a god general, and he was not a big man in the god realm. ”

Xia Bai frowned: "Why is the gap so big?"

Huang Quan said in a deep voice: "The difference between the ground aura and the outer heaven aura is too big, so the gap in strength is widened, for example, the realm that the demon needs to spend ten years to reach, the heavenly god is in the place where the aura is abundant, maybe one year is enough, even... One day.

This gap, with the accumulation of time, has become completely irresistible.

Except in the early days of the second aura outburst, we had a grudging confrontation with the gods, and then it was all in vain. ”

"Then how do you become a god?"

Xia Bai couldn't help but ask.

"It can't be done..."

"Why?"

"The gods are the same as our demons, they are all born and have the purest bloodline... If you weren't born into God, you'll never be God. Even if he assumes ascension, he is only a slave of God...

They gave the immortals some caves, but they were actually the most barren and barren areas.

But even so, those caves are much more abundant than the aura in the human world, so many immortals still think that this is a gift from the gods.

But in reality, it's nothing more than a kind of servitude.

So, Xia Bai, you should know... The Child of Destiny is an existence blessed by the gods, which is the condensation of the will of the gods, and mortals cannot move it. ”

Xia Bai had already understood.

And the Son of Heaven saw that the sword demon suddenly fell into a daze, "Brother Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Bai's eyes regained clarity, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I'm sorry, I refuse, I won't participate in this assassination." ”

Xuan Dan looked disappointed.

But this disappointment was quickly buried, and he just smiled: "Brother Xia, think about it again, this person hasn't appeared yet, and it's not too late to decide when the time comes." ”

Xia Bai nodded and pushed the door open.

The sunlight outside the door was dazzling, and the sword demon took a deep breath with a cold expression.
