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

Chapter 499 Breath

Xu Yao nodded and said, "I wish I were dreaming, but all of this is real. My second uncle's body has indeed been destroyed."

"Then where did his body go?" Bai Xiaobo asked.

"I don't know either!" Xu Yao shook his head and said.

"You really haven't found a single clue?" Bai Xiaobo asked.

Xu Yao shook his head and said, "I have sent many people to search for this black aura, but so far there have been no clues."

"Since your cultivation has reached the Martial Emperor realm, why haven't you sensed the existence of this aura?" Bai Xiaobo asked.

"I don't know either," Xu Yao said.

As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, Bai Zhenyun slowly woke up.

Seeing that Bai Zhenyun had woken up, Xu Yao hurriedly went over and asked, "Second Uncle, how are you feeling now?"

Bai Zhenyun slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Yao standing in front of him.

"Xu Yao, what brings you here? I'm in pain here, I can't hold it in anymore!"

Bai Zhenyun had just woken up, and the pain all over his body made his face extremely pale, as if all his energy had been drained.

Xu Yao quickly reached out and pressed on Bai Zhenyun's acupoints to help relieve his pain.

"Thank you! Xu Yao is much better now," Bai Zhenyun said.

"Don't worry, I've already treated your wounds, but you'll still need to rest for a while longer," Xu Yao said.

"Okay, I must take a good rest, otherwise I'm afraid I won't live to see that day!" Bai Zhenyun sighed.

Xu Yao nodded and said, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will do my best to heal your injuries."

"Xu Yao, I'm all better now, you should go back quickly!" Bai Zhenyun advised.

"No, I will absolutely not leave. Don't worry, I will not let anyone harm your family," Xu Yao said firmly.

A look of satisfaction flickered in Bai Zhenyun's eyes.

Although Xu Yao is very young, he is very sensible.

"Alright, don't waste any more time here."

"Let's leave here quickly. Our Bai family can't afford to provoke such a terrifying existence," Bai Zhenyun said.

"Second Uncle, you should rest here for a while. I'll come see you again later."

Bai Zhenyun nodded and said, "Xu Yao, don't worry! I'm fine!"

Xu Yao felt a pang of heartache looking at Bai Zhenyun's appearance, and he couldn't bear to leave Bai Zhenyun's side.

So he chose to stay and accompany Bai Zhenyun.

Bai Xiaobo understood Xu Yao's meaning from his expression and said to Bai Zhenyun.

"Your second uncle, Xu Yao, will take care of you here. Just tell him if you need anything!"

"Okay, you should leave now!" Bai Zhenyun said.

Su Zhenyun looked at Bai Xiaobo with tenderness in his eyes; he had always liked this child very much.

"Okay!" Bai Xiaobo smiled sweetly at Bai Zhenyun.

"Xu Yao, you stay here and take good care of your second uncle. I have some official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Call me if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!" Xu Yao said to Bai Xiaobo.

“I understand!” Bai Xiaobo nodded.

Xu Yao glanced at Bai Zhenyun and then turned and left.

"Xu Yao, be careful on your journey and come back safely. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down," Bai Xiaobo shouted to Xu Yao.

"Don't worry, I will definitely return safely." Xu Yao waved his hand.

Xu Yao's figure disappeared into the night.

"Don't worry, Xiaobo, Xu Yao will definitely return safely. You just focus on getting better and don't need to worry about anything else," Bai Zhenyun said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand!" Bai Xiaobo nodded.

After Xu Yao left Bai Zhenyun's room, Bai Zhenyun's door closed again, and Bai Xiaobo sat alone on the bed, lost in thought.

"Xu Yao, you must come back safely. No matter the cost, I will find that black aura." Bai Xiaobo clenched his fist and said.

Bai Zhenyun looked at Bai Xiaobo and said, "Xiaobo, Xu Yao's identity is somewhat special. You must not involve him. Leave this matter to me!"

"You must not interfere; you just need to support me quietly from behind."

"Fine, since you've put it that way, then I won't get involved!"

Bai Xiaobo smiled slightly and nodded.

"Okay, go ahead!" Bai Zhenyun nodded.

After Xu Yao left Bai Zhenyun's room, his expression became serious.

"I have investigated and found out that this thing must be black energy, and this black energy should be transmitted from some advanced cultivation manual."

"But why is there black mist in the room?" Xu Yao frowned even more deeply.

He raced through his mind, wondering why this black aura had appeared in Bai Zhenyun's room.

"It seems we need to find a place to properly study this black aura."

"Otherwise, this matter could very well affect the overall situation of Qingxuan."

"However, if I were to rashly study the black aura, I'm afraid others would notice."

"Looks like I still need to prepare properly!"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yao broke into a bright smile, a sly glint in his eyes.

"I will definitely find out the source of this black aura," Xu Yao said excitedly.

His figure blurred and flew directly into a remote mountain forest.

This time, Xu Yao did not use the invisibility technique.

He walked into the forest without using any invisibility spells, but instead walked in openly and honestly.

As Xu Yao entered the mountain forest, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became richer, causing his body and mind to tremble.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is extremely rich, even surpassing that of the Bai family.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here also contains a trace of evil.

Xu Yao was certain that absorbing this spiritual energy would definitely increase his strength.

However, this would significantly slow down the rate at which his cultivation level improved, which was not the result Xu Yao wanted.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what secrets this place holds."

Xu Yao sneered and continued walking into the distance.

Suddenly, Xu Yao's ears twitched as a flock of crows flew past in the sky.

"This place really does hide secrets; there are even crows here."

"It seems the spiritual energy here is quite dense. These crows can fly so high in this place; there must be some treasure here!"

"Since it's a treasure, so what if it's poisonous?"

"There will always be someone who wants to give it a try. I refuse to believe that no one will!"
