This voice…
It was Bai Zihe, outside!
Seeing that the governor had arrived, there was no need to wait any longer, so he directly called out, interrupting what the Evil King was about to say.
As the words fell.
A stern figure appeared inside the private room, it was Bai Zihe.
Upon seeing Bai Zihe, the Evil King's face changed drastically.
Although he had anticipated.
That Bai Zihe would likely appear once the message was sent out, he never expected Bai Zihe to arrive so quickly.
This was far beyond his expectations.
As for that governor…
Hearing Bai Zihe speak in such a manner, he was immediately displeased and shouted, "Boy, who are you to dare speak to me like this?"
"Do you know…"
"This person before you is the Evil King of our Miao territory, a person of high status, whose words alone can send you to your doom."
He was about to flatter the Evil King thoroughly, hoping to further solidify their relationship.
Then Bai Zihe appeared and mocked him, so he couldn't help himself.
"Who am I…"
Bai Zihe looked at the governor and said indifferently, "That is not important. What is important is that this so-called Evil King of yours has malicious intentions."
"Boy!"
The governor, completely oblivious to the change in the Evil King's expression, shouted, "Get out quickly, and don't blame me for being rude."
"Within ten seconds, if you are not out of my sight…"
"I will make you pay!"
Hearing this.
Bai Zihe let out a wry laugh.
He casually glanced at the governor, then looked at the Evil King beside him and teased, "Ask the Evil King, does he have the power to make me pay?"
The governor froze for a moment, then looked at the Evil King.
And the Evil King…
His face was already ashen, and he remained silent.
"Lord Evil King…"
The governor, still unaware of why the Evil King had become like this, inquired, "He, who exactly is he?"
The Evil King was feeling rather vexed at this moment.
Vexed that Bai Zihe had arrived so quickly, and this clone of his would have to dissipate without having served any purpose.
Although…
It had indeed managed to divert Bai Zihe's attention.
But…
After all, if he could have slaughtered over a hundred thousand people, his power would have been greatly amplified!
Now, it was all gone.
Thus…
In his anger, the Evil King directly slapped the governor, intending to kill someone to vent his frustration and to not have made this trip in vain.
"Hum…"
A powerful aura instantly enveloped the governor.
The governor felt as if all the power of heaven and earth was surging towards him, intending to drown him, overwhelm him, and tear him apart in an instant!
The governor, not yet understanding what was happening, merely stammered, "Lord Evil King, you, you…"
Soon, the immense pressure rendered him unable to speak.
A sense of despair enveloped his heart.
The governor never expected that the moment this person appeared, the Evil King would want to kill him.
But in the next moment.
"Swish…"
Bai Zihe flicked a finger, and a yellowish-brown energy shield appeared around the governor, completely enclosing him.
It was the Earth Guardian again!
"Bang!"
In the next instant…
The Evil King's attack landed on it but caused no damage whatsoever. It did not even create a ripple before dissipating into nothingness.
"Bai Zihe…"
"It's my damn luck to encounter you…"
The Evil King, filled with frustration, roared, "Yes, you can save her, but I don't believe you can save Miao Yinuo!"
"Don't you always want to know Miao Yinuo's whereabouts?"
"I can tell you."
"Miao Yinuo is about two hundred li away from this tower."
"And…"
"I also want to make a bet with you!"
As the Evil King watched Bai Zihe ruin his plans, a sinister smile suddenly curved his lips, his expression unusually ferocious.
Bai Zihe immediately felt a bad premonition.
He stared intently at the Evil King and said coldly, "What bet?"
"Simple!"
The Evil King's lips curled, with a hint of mockery, "I had originally planned to carry out a great massacre here tonight at eight o'clock…"
"At that time, at least over a hundred thousand people will gather here."
"And the place will undoubtedly be awash in blood."
"As for you, Bai Zihe…"
"You can choose to go and find my true form before this time."
"As long as you find my true form and kill it, this clone of mine will instantly vanish and be unable to continue its slaughter."
"Of course…"
"I bet you won't find my true form before eight o'clock."
"By then…"
"You can return here and kill my clone, but my true form will kill Miao Yinuo, Hahahaha…"
"As long as you don't find my true form, you lose!"
"As long as you find my true form, you win!"
"What do you say, dare you bet?"
Eight o'clock…
The Evil King was brimming with confidence.
Bai Zihe would not be able to find his true form before eight o'clock.
Bai Zihe had not spoken yet.
But the governor beside him was already trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with horror, looking at the Evil King with utter fear.
He now understood what a wicked being the Evil King was.
The lives of a hundred thousand people…
What choice would this Bai Zihe make?
Bai Zihe's expression turned cold.
"Don't think about killing this clone of mine now."
"I've changed my mind."
The Evil King said with a smile, "Bai Zihe, if you destroy my clone now, then I will destroy Bai Ruoyi right now!"
"Do you bet I dare to do it?"
"Hahahaha…"
Bai Zihe looked at him expressionlessly and said calmly, "Alright, I accept your bet."
"But…"
"This person, you cannot kill him before eight o'clock!"
Bai Zihe pointed at the governor in front of him.
This person held information about Liu Muxin, which he had not yet had time to inquire about. If he were killed by the Evil King now, it would only add to his hardships.
"Good."
"I can agree to that."
The Evil King sneered, "Then, go and search now!"
"I wish you a safe journey, and may you find my true form's location as soon as possible, hahahaha…"
With that, the Evil King burst into frenzied laughter.
Bai Zihe let out a cold snort, and a strand of yellowish-brown energy silently shot from his fingertip, entering the governor's body.
It was a wisp of Later Earth True Essence.
Once he was attacked by the Evil King, it would trigger the formation of a Later Earth energy shield, capable of withstanding any attack within its limits for half an hour, and it would also counter-shock.
The intensity of the counter-shock would be enough to cause the Evil King's clone to dissipate!
And half an hour…
Would be enough for Bai Zihe to make a round trip from here to the Evil King's hiding place.
There was also another function.
After he resolved the matters on the other side, he could sense the Later Earth True Essence to locate this fellow.
Subsequently.
Bai Zihe flickered and left the private room.
"Hmph."
The Evil King snorted at Bai Zihe's retreating back, then his gaze fell upon the governor, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
Since this person already knew his intentions, he could naturally not be kept alive.
