A trace of shock flashed through the depths of Xiao Xing's eyes. For a moment, he looked at Bai Xiaowen as if he was looking at a ghost.
Although Xiao Xing had forced himself to calm down and managed his expression well, not revealing his shocked expression in front of Guo Baisheng and the others, Bai Xiaowen had been holding onto his wrist the entire time. He could see every minute detail of his breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow. Bai Xiaowen had clearly captured that moment of shock.
Guo Baisheng and the others were also shocked.
If what Bai Xiaowen said was true, and Xiao Xing had really arranged for experts from the Sky Province Territory and even the Great Yan Territory to prepare an ambush, it would at least prove that Xiao Xing and the Sky Province Territory were in cahoots.
Taking into account the terrible relationship between Xia Feng, the Sky Province Territory, and the Great Yan Territory, it could be confirmed that Xiao Xing had indeed become a traitor and betrayed Xia Feng.
"Lord Lu Wang, do you have any proof that Xiao Xing and the Sky Province Territory are in cahoots and have experts ambushed in their territory?" Guo Baisheng asked.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Actually, I don't need to find the evidence …"
Bai Xiaowen took two steps forward and pointed at the Sky Province Territory's army that had already successfully landed. "Xiao Xing and the Sky Province Territory's original plan was to lure me here and capture me with the help of the territory's formation and experts, just like how they suppressed Lord Xia Feng. Since I made a name for myself on the dinosaur planet, Xiao Xing and the Sky Province Territory must have made ample preparations. They definitely didn't just send these cannon fodder troops. "
Guo Baisheng nodded. The "name for myself on the dinosaur planet" that Bai Xiaowen spoke of was his battle record of defeating hundreds of evolvers and capturing Shi Yu alive. It was this battle record that had sent Bai Xiaowen to the position of a top expert in the Interstellar Alliance, comparable to Xia Feng. This was also the main reason why the Great Xia Territory had recruited Bai Xiaowen as their hidden aid.
The Sky Province Territory's army in front of them seemed to number in the thousands. Most of them were natives, and there were about two hundred evolvers. The leader was Mengchuan himself.
Such a lineup was indeed not enough to keep Bai Xiaowen.
Because of this, Bai Xiaowen deduced that a large number of masters must have been lying in ambush in the Twisted Bone Region. They were only waiting for a signal to be sent out, and then they would besiege the Twisted Bone Region.
The person who sent this signal was undoubtedly Xiao Xing. However, Xiao Xing had already been restrained by Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen saw that Bai Sheng had understood the meaning of his words, so he continued, "So, there's no need to look for evidence … Those experts from the Tian Fu Territory and even the Da Yan Territory are hiding nearby, waiting for the signal. Even if there's no signal, once we start fighting with the Tian Fu Territory's army, they'll definitely jump out …"
The Heavenly Province's army pressed forward very quickly.
Guo Baisheng and the other Evolvers from the Loyal Faction all clenched their weapons. However, the 400 or so Xiao Xing's troops, who were natives, kept their eyes fixed on Xiao Xing. It was as if they would charge forward and engage in a civil war at the slightest disagreement.
"The enemy is right in front of us. Let's retreat first!" Guo Baisheng yelled at one of the native leaders.
The native leader straightened his neck and said, "I only obey Lord Xiao Xing's orders." He turned his head and shouted at Bai Xiaowen, "Let go of Lord Xiao Xing, or the Xiao Gu Army won't be polite …"
He really wanted to snatch Xiao Xing, but after comparing his strength with Bai Xiaowen's, he felt that there was little hope, so he didn't act rashly.
Guo Baisheng looked at Bai Xiaowen and asked, "Lord Lu Wang, what should we do?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "Before I came, I had a simple idea. As long as we quickly rush to the Xiao Gu Territory's boundary stone and kill Xiao Xing, we can directly seize the boundary stone. I have some knowledge of formations, so I can quickly control the Xiao Gu Territory's defensive formation. When the time comes, I can activate the formation and summon the White Phoenix Territory's army. Even if the enemy is twice as strong, we can still deal with them … "
"That won't do. After all, Lord Lu Wang's words haven't been confirmed yet."
Without seeing any evidence, Guo Baisheng didn't want to kill Xiao Xing even though he suspected him. A head wasn't a leek. If Bai Xiaowen cut it off, it wouldn't grow back.
Bai Xiaowen frowned. If Guo Baisheng and the others joined Sky Manor Territory and Great Yan Territory and became enemies, it would be easy for him to deal with them. After killing Xiao Xing and seizing the boundary stone, he could just beat Guo Baisheng and the others together.
But now, Guo Baisheng and the others were still loyal to Xia Feng, so Bai Xiaowen couldn't treat them as enemies and act recklessly.
"Alright … I have a compromise. I'll temporarily control Xiao Xing."
Bai Xiaowen revealed a mysterious smile, then quickly retracted it. "I have a talisman technique that can temporarily control a person's thoughts. After controlling Xiao Xing and winning this battle, I'll set him free. How about it? "
Guo Baisheng was moved. Although this method was somewhat unfair to Xiao Xing, from Lu Wang's point of view, it seemed to be the biggest compromise.
Otherwise, with Lu Wang's strength, no one would be able to stop him from killing Xiao Xing.
Actually, Guo Baisheng and Xiao Xing had known each other for many years. He, Xia Feng, and Xiao Xing had been allies in a five-man team. They had gone through great unification together. Now, only the three of them were left in that five-man team.
In terms of feelings, Guo Baisheng and Xiao Xing were naturally very close.
But it was precisely because of this that Guo Baisheng could recognize Xiao Xing more clearly.
They were all old teammates. Xiao Xing's attitude toward Xia Feng was extremely warm, but he gradually drifted away from his big brother Guo Baisheng. Wasn't the reason because he was a Lord and looked down on Guo Baisheng, who was a Hero?
From Guo Baisheng's point of view, he naturally couldn't stand Xiao Xing's attitude of stepping on the weak. He also gradually felt that Xiao Xing wasn't reliable. But because of their friendship, he didn't say anything to Xia Feng.
"Lord Lu Wang, you can temporarily control Xiao Xing, but if Xiao Xing is proven innocent, please keep your promise and set him free," Guo Baisheng said in a low voice.
Bai Xiaowen didn't understand Guo Baisheng's thoughts. But since Guo Baisheng agreed to do this, Bai Xiaowen wouldn't ask too much. Now wasn't the time.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word."
Bai Xiaowen silently added in his heart: After Xiao Xing's control was removed and he was "free," whether he lived or died had nothing to do with Bai Xiaowen.
He felt a bit guilty for deceiving Guo Baisheng like this, but it was an emergency. Bai Xiaowen didn't want to fight Guo Baisheng, and he was also in a hurry to beat back Heaven's Land's army, so he could only do this.
"Brother Guo, why did you agree? You're stupid!"
Xiao Xing struggled to control his spirit energy and temporarily broke through Bai Xiaowen's restriction on his throat.
Guo Baisheng said calmly, "Xiao Xing, we still don't know if you colluded with outsiders to assassinate Lord Xia Feng … … but the information you provided is too suspicious. It's enough to make you suspicious. Now, I'll let Lord Lu Wang control you temporarily and beat back the enemy. If you're really loyal to Great Xia, then order your private army to listen to my orders and fight the enemy … … "
"In your dreams!"
Xiao Xing said angrily. He looked at Bai Xiaowen and said, "You with the surname Lu, you and I are both Lord templates, and I'm even a high-level Lord! I want to see if your damned talisman can control me! "
"Hehe … … You're not hiding your strength anymore?" Bai Xiaowen smiled. Xiao Xing's true realm was already level 17, a high-level Lord. But when he asked for help, he said that he was a mid-level Lord. This was why Bai Xiaowen was suspicious of him. However, there was no need to explain it to Guo Baisheng and the others.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. A pure black energy slowly circled around his fingertips and formed a talisman.
