**Chapter 135: The Web of Conspiracy**

As the stranger's words hung in the air, White Xiaopu's eyes flashed with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. He had always been cautious, but his curiosity often got the better of him. "What do you mean by 'the ancients'?" he asked, his voice low and measured.

The stranger's smile was enigmatic, his eyes glinting with an air of mystery. "The ancients," he repeated, his voice dripping with an otherworldly intensity. "They were the ones who created the Web of Conspiracy, a complex network of threads that would ensnare the unsuspecting and the unwary. And I am the one who has been tasked with unraveling it."

White Xiaopu's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications. "What kind of conspiracy?" he asked, his voice firm.

The stranger leaned forward, his eyes burning with an intensity that made White Xiaopu's skin crawl. "A conspiracy that goes back centuries, one that has been hidden in plain sight. The ancients were a group of powerful cultivators who sought to gain ultimate power by manipulating the threads of fate. They created the Web, weaving a complex tapestry of destiny that would ensnare the unsuspecting and bend them to their will."

White Xiaopu's eyes widened as the stranger's words sent a shiver down his spine. "And you're saying that the Web is still active?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

The stranger nodded, his eyes glinting with an air of malevolence. "The Web still pulses with dark energy, drawing in the unsuspecting like moths to a flame. But I have been tasked with unraveling it, with freeing the trapped souls from its grasp."

As the stranger's words hung in the air, White Xiaopu's eyes locked onto his, a sense of unease settling in his stomach. He knew that he had to be careful, that the stranger was not what he seemed. But he also knew that he couldn't turn his back on the stranger, not now that he had revealed the existence of the Web.

"Who sent you?" White Xiaopu asked, his voice firm, as he tried to keep his emotions in check.

The stranger's smile was enigmatic, his eyes glinting with an air of mystery. "That is a secret I will take to my grave," he replied, his voice dripping with an air of menace.

As the stranger's words hung in the air, White Xiaopu knew that he had to be careful. He couldn't trust the stranger, not yet. But he also knew that he had to get to the bottom of the conspiracy, to unravel the Web and free the trapped souls.

As he stood there, frozen in uncertainty, the stranger's words echoed in his mind. "The Web of Conspiracy... the Web of Conspiracy..."

And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, everything went black.
