Chapter 1855: Chapter 1882: How Do You Know Me So Well?
The figure in front of the door disappeared.
Li Xiaobai opened the door and picked up the envelope on the ground.
The contents inside startled him.
[Li Xiaobai, I’m glad to communicate with you in this way. I am the leader of the organization. By the time you read this letter, I am already dead. The attack by the assassination squad was a misunderstanding. The organization greatly appreciates your complete defeat of the squad and therefore invites you to join the organization as the new regulator responsible for the Boundary Sea base.]
[You must be eager to find your senior brothers and sisters, and surely you want to rapidly grow stronger and personally avenge the Immortal Gods who attacked the Central Origin Realm years ago. You are even more eager to see how far you can go in the starry sky. As long as your performance in the organization is outstanding, anything you desire can come true soon.]
[Once you are ready, go to Yumi Academy. Someone there will meet you. Remember, don’t bring Yu Huan Shui!]
The letter was short, but each word revealed a thorough understanding of Li Xiaobai by the organization.
It was as if they knew about his search in the starry sky for his senior brothers and sisters, and even the events of the Central Origin Realm battles against the Immortal Gods.
Who is this person?
How do they know everything?
Could the invasion of the Central Origin Realm by the Immortal Gods have been related to the organization, even though the organization hadn’t been established at that time? Or perhaps the leader of the organization heard these stories from Li Xiaobai’s senior brothers and sisters?
“By the time you see this letter, I am already dead. What does this mean? How could a dead person send me a letter?”
“Could it be a trap set by enemies, where a new assassin has the ability to make me see what I want to see on paper?”
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Li Xiaobai’s mind. He considered each possibility but refused to consider the letter’s contents as truth.
Though it’s hard to blame him, his consecutive encounters led him to question everything unreasonable around him, given the unsettling powers of Law of Visualized Item among the Law Enforcers and regulators; it’s impossible to defend against.
If he hadn’t been cautious enough, he would have died eight hundred times by now.
“The shadow outside the door just now looked quite familiar in stature, height, and build, resembling a child. But in reality, I don’t know such people.”
“Ultimately, I have to go to Yumi Academy to feel at ease. He told me not to bring Yu Huan Shui, but I insist on bringing him.”
Li Xiaobai packed the letter and got up to find Yu Huan Shui.
A few minutes later.
In another small room, the candlelight flickered.
Yu Huan Shui carefully examined the letter Li Xiaobai brought. He had read Li Xiaobai’s memories and knew nearly everything, so there was no need to hide anything.
“Well, this person must know you extremely well. I could even believe if they said they were someone close to you.”
“No, from your memories, not even the people around you know everything he does.”
Yu Huan Shui pondered while repeatedly looking at the handwriting on the letter, his brows furrowed. His Academy was just beginning to rebuild, and now this matter emerged, clearly making things difficult for him.
“What do you say?”
“The invasion of the Central Origin Realm by the Immortal Gods and my relationship with several senior brothers and sisters are well known to people around me since we were comrades in arms.”
Li Xiaobai asked.
Yu Huan Shui pointed to the last line on the letter and said: “But they don’t know what happened after you entered the Immortal Gods Realm, and it’s even more impossible for them to know of my existence.”
“Look at the letter that says, before leaving, don’t bring Yu Huan Shui, clearly showing great knowledge about me too!”
“If that’s the case…”
“Could it be you are the mastermind, the leader behind the organization!”
Li Xiaobai widened his eyes, incredulous as he stared at Yu Huan Shui.
“Bullshit, analyze it seriously, don’t interrupt!”
Yu Huan Shui’s eyelids twitched with the urge to hit someone.
“Hehe, just joking. But seriously, you have read my memories and accompanied me all the way from the Immortal Gods Realm to the Boundary Sea, so it appears only you fit these criteria.”
Li Xiaobai scratched his head, chuckling.
“Nonsense, I’ve been here, always by your side. Where would I find an assassination squad, or where would I find someone to deliver a letter?”
“Moreover, the person who knows you best is yourself. Why don’t you say you are the organization’s leader, maybe you even have a split personality.”
Yu Huan Shui rolled his eyes and continued studying the letter.
“There are capable individuals in the Boundary Sea. This organization hardly shows its face within the Boundary Sea range. I know little about it, but judging from those assassins, anyone who joins the organization is an exceptional talent among their peers, even excelling at fighting beyond limits.”
Yu Huan Shui sighed, “They are all talented.”
Li Xiaobai: “The experts are in the Boundary Sea, why haven’t I sensed it?”
“Beyond the Eight Desolates Domain lies the Boundary Sea, a truly vast sea region. Our neighboring domains alongside the Boundary Sea are referred to as Boundary Sea too, but the actual Boundary Sea is at the depths of this Star Domain. It was once a sanctuary for fugitives, and as more demon heads fled there, it became a gathering ground for top experts over time.”
“Your senior brothers and sisters once slaughtered countless Overlords in the Boundary Sea too, but ultimately they retreated, unable to complete their journey. At that time, everyone believed they could explore the end of the Boundary Sea, yet unfortunately, they failed, and no one knows what they encountered inside.”
“Perhaps the creatures at the deepest part are so powerful that even they couldn’t handle them.”
Yu Huan Shui spoke.
“Then why do the experts gather at the first battlefield in search of the path to immortality?”
Li Xiaobai asked curiously.
“Becoming immortal is still within this universe, while breaking through the Boundary Sea opens new territories.”
“Imagine the Star Universe as a circle; we are inside it, and outside is the unknown. The Boundary Sea lies at the dividing point between them. It is a deadly sea region. Theoretically, you can see the Boundary Sea if you travel to the far end in any direction; cultivators choose here only because the nearby Star Domain has life and coordinates easy to locate.”
“If there are life forms outside the circle, they must be terrifyingly powerful, even surpassing the True Immortals within. Conversely, maybe there is no outside circle, and the end of the Boundary Sea remains an endless sea.”
Yu Huan Shui spoke leisurely. The value of life lies in its legacy; ancestors pass knowledge to descendants, who then innovate and explore new knowledge. Through this cycle, cultivators progress further.
Li Xiaobai interrupted: “That’s something to discuss later, let’s talk about this letter, can you discern anything from it?”
Yu Huan Shui: “Everything written is true, there’s no hidden clue except for figuring out who this leader is and why they know you so well.”
“Then should we visit Yumi Academy?”
“Let’s go, the organization isn’t chasing you anymore, you can breathe now.”
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
Li Xiaobai walked to the door, while Yu Huan Shui sat still, both staring at each other.
Yu Huan Shui puzzledly asked: “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Li Xiaobai: “Aren’t you going with me?”
Yu Huan Shui matter-of-factly answered: “Of course not. The letter said I shouldn’t go, so naturally, you must go alone.”
“Brother Li going alone to honor the meeting, such generosity and righteousness must be recorded in the books!”
