Book of Disaster

Everyone looked at Bai Qi with complicated expressions.

In the capital, news spread as fast as the wind. The news that Bai Qi was sent to the New World to investigate the Earth Mother Cult had already spread widely and everyone knew about it.

And everyone knows that today is the day Bai Qi sets out.

No matter they were princes, aristocratic families, or common people, they all paid great attention to this matter.

After all, the dangers of the new world are well known. It is full of chaos, darkness, mystery and the unknown. Ordinary warriors and even martial saints can easily fall here.

The Yuan Dynasty has lost more than double-digit numbers of Martial Saints in the New World, and the danger level is frightening. Before the Crown Prince's Guardian Li Yuxuan, more than 70% of the Martial Saints who went to the New World died.

Therefore, after learning that Bai Qi was sent to the new world by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, many people believed that Bai Qi's journey would be dangerous and he might never be able to return to the capital.

Not to mention, Bai Qi’s trip to the New World was strongly recommended by the Prince’s Guardian Li Yuxuan.

——The conflict between Bai Qi and Li Yuxuan has long been an open secret.

He recommended Bai Qi to go to the New World to investigate, and his sinister intentions were self-evident.

"Alas, Master Bai is so confused! You clearly have a bright future ahead of you, but why did you agree to the Grand Protector's promise? Now... I'm afraid you can't come back."

"Who says it's not? That's a new world. Even a martial saint would have a hard time coming back alive."

"We can't help it. The Crown Prince's Guard has absolute power in the capital. No one dares to offend him except the Emperor. Mr. Bai offended the Crown Prince's Guard, and that's why he met with this disaster. What a pity!"

……

Everyone in the crowd sighed, especially those from the aristocratic families hiding in the crowd, who looked at Bai Qi with eyes full of compassion and sympathy.

Compared to ordinary people, they know much more about the new world.

It is not a good place to explore and seek treasures. It can be said that it is fundamentally different from the ancient ruins that ordinary warriors yearn for.

In short, the new world is extremely dangerous.

"Let's go! Let's wait until he comes back alive!"

In the crowd, countless aristocratic families turned around.

Originally, after experiencing the Bloody Moon, Bai Qi had become very popular, and many noble families were about to curry favor with the Bai family, but now——

No one came to see me off

If Bai Qi died in the new world, the Bai family would not be worth making friends with.

More importantly, everyone knows that the Prince’s Guardian’s Mansion... is under close watch.

"Humph, a bunch of people who curry favor with the powerful and act according to the wind!"

Bai Qi naturally felt the change in atmosphere and just snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt.

Looking back, he killed a saint as soon as he became a saint.

How many noble families curry favor with the powerful and greeted them at the city gate early, doing their utmost to flatter and curry favor with them; and how many common people lined the streets to welcome them.

Now, in less than a month, countless noble families and court officials have distanced themselves from the Bai family and no longer have any contact with them.

The gap between before and after is so huge that it is simply chilling.

And all this is because of one person.

The Crown Prince's Guardian Li Yuxuan!

But Bai Qi didn't care. How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?

They are a bunch of short-sighted people who are not worthy of being associated with the Bai family.

"Let's go!"

Under the cold gazes of the crowd, Bai Qi got on the carriage and quickly left the city gate with dozens of guards behind him.

However, unlike what everyone imagined, after being out of the city for more than 30 miles, Bai Qi did not follow the originally planned route to the new world, but suddenly turned around and headed northeast along another road.

But in just a moment——

Hoof clatter!

A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from all directions, and figures were approaching Bai Qi rapidly.

From the southeast, a figure was approaching rapidly like a storm.

When I got closer and looked carefully, I saw that the young man on his back was dignified and had sharp eyes. He was carrying a large purple bow and exuded an extremely sharp aura, which was unforgettable.

It was Zhang Chi.

"Greetings, sir!"

Zhang Chi took off the bow and said respectfully.

Following closely behind, from the southwest, another chubby figure galloped over at the same time. As soon as he got close, he immediately jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee in front of everyone's astonished eyes, and said respectfully:

"Zhou Yixian of the Zhou family of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is willing to follow you to the new world! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Get lost, Fatty!"

Bai Qi cursed in the carriage.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even Xu Xuansu, who was riding a horse in the back with a tall figure, wearing a fiery red battle skirt, and looking heroic, couldn't help but laugh.

"Fatty, are you sure you want to follow me to the new world?"

Bai Qi asked.

"Don't come on, you're going to the new world, how can you leave me behind?"

Zhou Yixian grinned, stood up, got into the carriage without any hesitation, and put his arm around Bai Qi's shoulders:

"Without me here, who will help you turn danger into safety, right?"

Bai Qi was speechless.

The fat guy originally didn't want to take him with him. After all, the new world is indeed dangerous. But what the fat guy said makes sense. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. If you stay in your comfort zone all the time, it will be difficult to achieve great things, and sooner or later you will encounter danger and die faster.

In addition, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Although the Black Dragon incident was extremely dangerous and several people almost died, Zhou Yixian also obtained the Great Dao Copper Coin as a result, and his attainments in Yishu increased greatly, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

Thinking that this fat guy really had amazing luck, Bai Qi didn't try to persuade him any further.

——At most, he would spend more time and protect him a little more.

Bai Qi looked at Xu Xuansu through the open carriage window.

"Don't look at me. I have longed for the new world. This is a good opportunity for me to go and take a look."

Xu Xuansu smiled slightly, revealing a beautiful smile that dazzled countless people, and even Bai Qi couldn't help but be slightly dazed.

But soon, he came back to his senses.

"Ok."

Bai Qi said somewhat helplessly.

Although Xu Xuansu said this, Bai Qi knew in his heart that she came because of him.

No need to say more.

The four-member team gathered together, and everyone was very excited.

"Alright! This time the four of us will come together to conquer the new world!"

Zhou Yixian waved his arms and shouted.

"——No, it's to where the treasure map is!"

Zhang Chi reminded from the side.

"Yes, it's a treasure map, hahaha..."

……

After the group gathered, they quickly set off towards the place pointed by the mysterious key.

The imperial court only told Bai Qi to go to the new world to investigate the truth, but did not specify how long it would take to complete the task, so the time was quite flexible.

This is also the reason why Bai Qi decided to explore the key treasure map before going to the new world.

If I could obtain some relics and treasures to strengthen myself, it would be of great benefit to my future actions.

After crossing mountains and rivers and following the star map reflected on the key described earlier, about two days later, everyone arrived at the destination, which was a completely unfamiliar place.
