Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 428 Looking at Him

"Some things are up to him to decide."

The matter concerning the Sixth Elder has already reached this point, and there's really no other way.

Xu Yao has done all he could. Now that the Sixth Elder is dead, Xu Yao has to busy himself with his other matters.

Just as Xu Yao was discussing with Han Yi about temporarily returning to the Assassin's Guild, Han Yi rushed over.

Seeing Han Xi's anxiety, Xu Yao asked curiously, "Sect Leader Han, what's wrong with you?"

"Could it be that someone has attacked Hanshan Sword Sect? With your strength, even if someone were to attack, you wouldn't know, would you?" Xu Yao said.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Xi finally spoke up, "No, Brother Xu Yao, do you still remember Bai Song?"

"Of course I remember. What's wrong with Bai Song? Has his mental illness flared up again? I remember Elder Liu cured him, didn't he?" Xu Yao asked curiously.

Han Xi then said, "No, that's not how it is now. Oh dear, Bai Song has run into that maze again."

“Some disciples also came to me, hoping I could go and take a look. I was also worried about the Han faction, but the spirit beasts in that maze.”

"You know I'm no match for him, which is why I've come to ask Brother Xu Yao for help," Han Xi said.

Upon hearing what Han said, Xu Yao quickly ran over.

When the three arrived at the maze, they found that although the maze had been cleared, it was still accessible again.

However, there were still dangers inside, and now Bai Song had run into the maze.

So Xu Yao looked around and said, "We'll have to go in and find the person first."

After hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Xi nodded and then followed him into the maze.

At this moment, Xu Yao and his two companions found Bai Song in the maze without expending much effort.

Upon seeing Bai Song, Bai Song appeared perfectly fine.

Xu Yao, seemingly searching for something, did not reveal himself upon seeing this situation.

They quietly signaled to Han Yi and Han Xi to keep quiet, and the three of them watched Bai Song tinkering around in silence.

Then, Bai Song also dug out a skeleton from a cave.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yao took a closer look out of curiosity and discovered that there were even words carved on the remains.

Now Xu Yao understood the strangeness of the matter, but regardless, since there were words on the remains...

Xu Yao absolutely had to ask him clearly; otherwise, he wouldn't know.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao gave the other two a wink, and they naturally understood what he meant.

He then appeared behind Bai Song along with Xu Yao.

At this moment, Xu Yao said to Bai Song, who was intently handling the remains, "I'm talking to you, Bai Song."

"What are you doing here? Whose remains are these?"

Bai Song was still fiddling with the remains when he heard Xu Yao's voice behind him.

Bai Song was so frightened that he tried to run away.

However, Bai Song was just a junior disciple, and his cultivation was far inferior to Xu Yao's.

Therefore, Bai Song naturally couldn't escape and was easily captured by Xu Yao.

Bai Song then said to Xu Yao, "I just want to find these remains. I haven't done anything wrong."

Xu Yao laughed and said, "I didn't say you did anything wrong, why are you running? What's there to run from?"

"Since you haven't done anything wrong, you should have heard the saying, 'If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door at night.'"

"Don't you understand this principle?" Xu Yao said.

“I know, I know,” Bai Song replied.

"You knew that, yet you still ran away!" Han Yi said.

Xu Yao then said to Bai Song, "Same as always, I won't make things difficult for you, but you have to tell me."

"Who exactly is this corpse to you? If you can explain it clearly, I can let you off the hook. But if you can't explain it clearly..."

“Then things aren’t that simple. You’ll have to figure it out yourself,” Xu Yao said.

Bai Song naturally knew he couldn't escape, and now that he'd been caught red-handed, what else could he say?

Bai Song said helplessly, "These remains are those of my mother."

"Your mother?" Han Xi asked in surprise. "I mean, Bai Song, if I remember correctly..."

“You’re not a local, and your mother never lived around here, so how did your mother’s remains end up here?”

"You moved here?" Han Xi looked at Bai Song with some surprise.

Bai Song shook his head and said, "You might not believe it if I told you, Sect Master, but I don't know why my mother's remains are here."

"Moreover, the words carved on these bones are my mother's name, which I find strange, otherwise I wouldn't have come here again."

“I discovered it last time, but because of the time constraints, I didn’t have time to get my mother’s remains out.”

"This time, it was because Young Master Xu Yao killed that ninth-grade spirit beast that I had the opportunity to come in and find my mother's remains."

"Otherwise, I don't know what would have become of my mother's remains," Bai Song said.

Xu Yao was completely dumbfounded when he heard Bai Song say that.

Bai Song was simply doing his job normally and didn't do anything else, but that's the problem.

Regardless, the remains of Bai Song's mother have indeed become what they are now.

To be honest, Xu Yao didn't know what to say. But right now, the most urgent thing was to get Bai Song and Bai Song's mother's remains out of the country.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao said, "Sect Leader Han, please also collect the remains of Bai Song and Bai Song's mother."

"I've set up a magic array here to prevent the disciples of the Hanshan Sword Sect from entering, so nothing will happen in the short term."

"How about we discuss this after we get out of here?" Xu Yao said.

After hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Xi nodded and said, "In that case, we'll have to trouble you, Brother Xu Yao."

"This time, my Hanshan Sword Sect has caused Brother Xu Yao a lot of trouble, but please rest assured, Brother Xu Yao."

"Our Hanshan Sword Sect will never forget the great kindness and virtue of Brother Xu Yao."

Xu Yao waved his hand and said, "Sect Leader Han, you're too kind."

After speaking, Xu Yao immediately set up a magic array around him, which had the effect of exorcising demons and ghosts.

In other words, Xu Yao's powerful cultivation was infused into this formation, making it virtually impossible for ordinary people to break through.

Xu Yao set up this formation to prevent the disciples of the Hanshan Sword Sect from running around and causing trouble.
