The murderers were the black and white fox and Feng Gu.

As for the reason, it was both for revenge and to get rid of the violent man.

[Ding! Clues acquired 15%, so the total progress is 100%. Congratulations, player. Task 2 is finished.]

Bai Lixin opened the taskbar, but there were still five hours left before the “door” on the painting closed.

The system did not add any more tasks after he finished Task 2, but the side task, “Fox Cubs Looking for their Mother,” was still showing “in progress.”

It seemed like it was over, but it wasn’t.

It was as if he had watched a hearty movie, and when it came to the end, it became small talk among those who watched.

Bai Lixin’s sixth sense told him that there was a subtle dissonance in what was going on.

“These are my children. I’ll take the little ones.” The man got up from his feet. ” I appreciated your help in protecting my children, so I won’t kill you this time.”

“But only this time. If you’re as nosy as that Qing guy, I won’t let you off the hook either.”

“Wait, I have a few more questions.” Bai Lixin spoke out to stop the black and white fox who was about to leave, “Did you start that fire at Qinglian Temple?”

“Who made them try to kill me?” The black and white fox raised an eyebrow and sneered, “I only let out my shadow to scare them, and they accidentally knocked over the flames themselves. Fortunately, I ran away fast, otherwise even I would have been burnt to ashes. ”

“What? You want to help that half immortal?” The black and white fox regained his initial arrogance as he raised his head and looked down at Bai Lixin, who was sitting in a chair, “Are you sure you can beat me?”

————————

In the live broadcast room.

[This father fox is more or less conceited. “Are you sure you can beat me?” Heh, I’m betting mall points that God Xin can beat his dog head. Ah no, it’s a fox’s head.]

[That’s the joy of ignorance, right?]

[God Xin’s task is at 100%. According to the previous scenarios, shouldn’t a hidden task be triggered by now and he beats up the boss?]

[This boss makes me sigh a little. How can I put it? They both want revenge, but he and Feng Gu chose two different paths.]

[The father Fox chose to kill, while Feng Gu chose to redeem.]

[Redemption? If that was the case, she wouldn’t have waited until Lord Li had killed so many of his concubines.]

[I just think she’s a white lotus bitch. She is so poisonous, she could forget the grudge over her parents’ death? In addition, it took her three years, during which most of the concubines had died, for her to come out and eliminate the evil?]

[You’re right, it’s too contradictory.]

[If you combine this with her family history, it can be explained. Her parents were good people, and she had been brought up to help others. But just because there was one bad person among the 100 people she helped, she couldn’t choose to stop helping people.

In addition, Feng Gu was her parents’ most beloved daughter by the time she died, to the point that she had never dirtied her hands.]

[But didn’t she still end up with her hands? So she’s a white lotus bitch.]

[…… Okay, okay, let’s not discuss Feng Gu. Focus on the live stream, ah! That is just an NPC. The show is still going on. There is no need to discuss it for so long.]

————–

With those words, the black and white fox carried the fox cubs and walked through the door and into the blizzard.

Bai Lixin looked at the dark shadows overhead. All the commotion had ended.

With the intervention of the black and white fox, the maids all fell to the ground.

Feng Gu and the black and white foxes had a heated argument, and then she left in anger.

In the room, only the shadow with the beast head was left.

Bai Lixin surveyed the shadow; it was basically the same as what he had seen in NPC Brother Xin’s memories.

Just moments after the shadow play had ended, a change appeared above Bai Lixin’s head.

The shadows disappeared and were replaced by a white-robed woman.

She hovered overhead, her form ethereal, and a line of tears slowly left her pitying eyes.

“Child.”

The woman stood tall and slowly spoke. Her voice was low and ethereal, like a thick bell slowly hitting Bai Lixin’s chest.

“Look at this.”

With a flick of her arm, a fogged image appeared before him.

Mountains and rivers were lit up in flames, and all the creatures in the city were charred.

A giant black and white fox bared its fangs, and in its black eyes, four golden pupils glittered with murder.

The ground was covered with corpses, and all that could be seen in the eyes was the appearance of annihilation.

“I wanted to seal the Evil Immortal in my world,” the woman said slowly, “but I didn’t expect him to cultivate him through killing. I’m no match for him.”

“If he is not stopped, the killing will make him insane, and everything you see will become a reality.”

“I have shown you the past and his step-by-step journey into the abyss. I tried to redeem him once when everything could still be changed, but my good intentions could not stand up to the hatred and malice in him.”

“Child, I hope you can help me so we can kill him together.”

[Ding! Hidden mission triggered: Assist in killing the black and white fox.]

[Friendly reminder: This is a hidden mission, there is no penalty for failure.]

——————-

In the live broadcast room.

[Here comes the mission! The legendary half-immortal has appeared.]

[What a shame. The black and white fox was a victim, but because of its choices, it has become the perpetrator.]

[There’s even the possibility that his rampage will cause world annihilation, I don’t like the drama in this world anymore. It’s so difficult.]

[But if you do wrong, you have to be punished.]

[Will there be a reversal? I don’t think we can trust the half-immortal’s words.]

[What reversal? The hidden mission has already been triggered.]

[Don’t worry, there are still two days left. Let the barrage fly for a while. 】

Bai Lixin looked up at the emotional lady for a while, and did not rush to press the OK button, but asked, “Where have all the people who came with me gone?”

The woman kept a smile on her lips and pointed to the door. “They are all safe. You will see them once you go out this door.”

Bai Lixin clicked [Accept] and then looked at the woman. “How can I help you kill him?”

“Simple, you have a contract brand with his children on your wrist. You can call on those children through the contract brand and summon them over.”

“I used all my cultivation to create a painting that is the beginning of all disasters. As long as you bring him into that painting, I will use all my power to die with him.”

Bai Lixin: “Die together? You mean you will die too?”

The woman smiled bitterly and said, “I have persuaded him several times, but he is stubborn. If I had killed him before he reached this level, there would not have been the current series of disasters.”

“In the end, I was too soft. I always had expectations that he would change his ways, but I was wrong in the end.”

“Only by killing him can we return peace to the world.”

Bai Lixin didn’t say anything more, but just gave a smile and said, “You care so much about the lives of the world.”

The woman: “I guard this world and the faithful believe in me. That is what I should do.”

Bai Lixin: “So, where is the painting? Where should I go to find it?”

Woman: “It is in the hands of the only surviving child of the Qinglian Temple, and that child has now come to Fengcheng. ”

“Okay,” Bai Lixin stood up. “There is still one small problem. We haven’t found the ‘door’ to get out of here, so Miss…… ”

Woman: “My name is Cultivator Qinglian.”

Bai Lixin continued, “Cultivator Qinglian, can you point us to the right path?”

Cultivator Qinglian: “It’s simple; go to where you came out from, the door is hidden in the water plants at the bottom of the water.”

“Time is running out. The black and white fox must go into closed cultivation again before he can revive his wife and child. The image you saw will soon become reality, go quickly, my child.”

With that, Cultivator Qinglian’s body slowly turned into a cloud of mist and finally disappeared.

The room was finally quiet.

Bai Lixin walked to the bed.

The woman on the bed looked already broken. Her eyes were wide open as if she had seen something appalling, and her face was pale as if she had died of fright.

On top of her body was a thick pile of clothes, but they were no longer necessary.

With another glance overhead that had long since returned to calm, Bai Lixin opened the door and walked out without looking back.

No sooner had he stepped into the blizzard than the scene before him changed.

He found himself falling into a warm embrace. Dijia, who had a gloomy face, looked at Bai Lixin’s entire body up and down before making sure that the other man was not under any threat before breathing a sigh of relief. “After waking them up, I found that I couldn’t get back in.”

“Yeah,” one soldier complained, covering his red and swollen cheek, “we were fine once we got out, but we couldn’t go back.”

Wuuu, the Lord Governor hit their faces so hard.

Bai Lixin looked back; the scene from earlier had disappeared and the room was now empty

Dijia: “No need to look, the time-space dislocation disappeared.”

“Let’s go to the place where the stage was set up.” Bai Lixin then told Dijia everything that had just happened there.

“Even I can’t intervene in the world of paintings at will.” Dijia frowned.

Bai Lixin clenched his fist. “I also noticed that my power was greatly reduced after entering the paintings.”

“Other people’s worlds put a lot of restrictions on us.”

Dijia: “But Cultivator Qinglian is asking to lure the fox into the painting, so it seems that she has the most power in the painting.”

“Why can’t she kill that fox herself?” Dijia frowned at Bai Lixin, “And why did you ask me to help?”

Did she think his precious person is a toolman?

Bai Lixin didn’t say anything.
