Chapter 406: Chapter 406 – The True Purpose
Upon hearing Goat-bearded old man’s words, Jiang Xiaobai knew that the mission had been accomplished. The ancient clan’s auction house must have been breached.

With this in mind, he burst into laughter.

A confused Goat-bearded old man didn’t understand Jiang Xiaobai’s sudden laughter. He even thought Jiang Xiaobai was going insane.

However, suddenly, a premonition of something terrible began to rise in the Goat-bearded old man’s heart.

He felt uneasy, as if something horrifying was about to happen.

Having spent many years wandering in the martial world and possessing great strength, Goat-bearded old man also had a keen intuition for danger and knew something was wrong. He even gave up the chase.

“Sir, what’s wrong with you? why did you stop?” The ancient clan expert beside him was completely bewildered, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

“Something is not right. Very not right.

Goat-bearded old man squinted his eyes, glancing at the empty sky ahead.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai had also stopped, grinning at the old man.

He probably knew what the old man was thinking, but Jiang Xiaobai was not worried, knowing that he couldn’t escape from him.

Even if the old man discovered something unusual and wanted to retreat, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t allow him to do so.

“Jiang Xiaobai, are you playing tricks on me?” Goat-bearded old man sneered.

“Are you creating a diversion? Do you really think that with your tricks, I can’t do anything to you?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai simply shook his head.

“I thought you were smart, but it seems, you aren’t that smart after all.”

“The wise worry too much. You should instead be thinking about what to do now.”

At these words, Goat-bearded old man snapped back to reality.

This wasn’t a tactic to create a diversion; Jiang Xiaobai’s target wasn’t the artifacts in the ancient clan’s auction house. His target had always been him!

Upon realizing this, Goat-bearded old man broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew what kind of position he held in the ancient clan and what matters were at hand.

If Jiang Xiaobai truly intended this…

For a moment, Goat-bearded old man was too scared to finish that thought. The moment he figured out Jiang Xiaobai’s purpose, he tried to run. Knowing the enemy’s intention and not running away was the same as courting death, right?

Jiang Xiaobai had managed to lure him out, so he must be prepared. Perhaps there was an array or something similar up ahead.

Therefore, running away was the smartest option right now!

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

There was no array. All there was to confront them was Jiang Xiaobai himself.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Seeing the old fool trying to escape, Jiang Xiaobai immediately yelled and transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing towards him. His escape skill was incredibly powerful and with his current strength, his speed wasn’t something Goat-bearded old man could match.

Not only that, while pursuing, he also sent a message to Ao Cheng, instructing him to rush over.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaobai had turned the tables. He appeared behind Goat-bearded old man, producing a crimson long sword in his hand.

The acquired Sky Spirit treasure, Abyssal Rainbow!

This was the first time Jiang Xiaobai had used Abyssal Rainbow after unlocking the first seal.

The moment the sword was drawn, the color of the sky and earth changed dramatically!

The power of the acquired Sky Spirit treasure was truly terrifying. This was a treasure that immortals could use to kill effortlessly.

At that moment, Goat-bearded old man only felt a sharp edge stabbing him from behind. His back ached and he was enveloped in a wave of terror.

He knew this was the sensation of death!

“No!”

Goat-bearded old man cried out in shock, completely giving up on resisting. All he could think about was escaping, getting away from Jiang Xiaobai’s control!

In this crisis, his reactions were dozens of times sharper than usual. Just as he was about to be impaled, he managed to dodge Jiang Xiaobai’s sword, but the aftershock from the powerful aura of the Sky Spirit still injured him.

“No… Impossible, what kind of weapon is that!”

Filled with disbelief, Goat-bearded old man was as white as a sheet. If it wasn’t for the dignity of a strong warrior, he might have wet his pants in fear. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace to escape.

Seeing the incredible power of this sword, Jiang Xiaobai was also shocked.

He had expected that Abyssal Rainbow would be powerful after unlocking the first layer of the Heavenly seal, but he never thought it would be this powerful!

“Good one, it’s time to have a blast!”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed in his heart, holding Abyssal Rainbow tightly and launching a crazy offensive against the ancient clan’s experts.

His attacks were as easy as cutting vegetables, unprecedentedly relaxed.

With just a casual swing of his sword, the ancient clan experts had no chance of resistance. Within minutes, bodies were scattered all over the ground, all slain by Jiang Xiaobai.

Goat-bearded old man, who was fleeing in the forefront, was completely terrified. He didn’t give a damn about anything else and sprinted desperately.

He didn’t want to die, especially at Jiang Xiaobai’s hands!

But the rule of the world is such that the strong are the ones who control the situation!

With a few swift leaps, Jiang Xiaobai was already at Goat-bearded old man’s back. He thrust Abyssal Rainbow fiercely.

This time, there was no restraint. The speed and power of this thrust was more than ten times that of the previous one.

The Goat-bearded old man couldn’t evade in time and watched as Abyssal Rainbow pierced his shoulder. A small twist from Jiang Xiaobai, and the wound enlarged, almost tearing off half of the old man’s shoulder.

The pain and shock from the attack robbed the old man of the chance to escape. He fell forward, and before he could cry out again, Jiang Xiaobai rushed forward, kicking him in the back of his head.

Knocking him unconscious, Jiang Xiaobai began to chuckle coldly.

“I finally caught a big fish.”

“So you’re from the ancient clan, huh? This time, don’t let me get my hands on you, or you’ll regret it.”

Jiang Xiaobai smirked, hoisting the Goat-bearded old man onto his shoulder before disappearing over the horizon.

The incident sent tremors through all of West Wind City.

Someone had attacked the ancient clan’s auction house in West Wind City, and what’s more, the attackers had managed to retreat safely!

Fine, that could be tolerated. But the treasures and the vault in the auction house had been emptied by the bandits.

If memory served correctly, an auction had been held there not too long ago and the items auctioned were the ancient clan’s own treasures.

With this, the ancient clan must be fuming with rage and unbearable loss.

The entire West Wind City’s experts and forces were discussing the incident, especially when they found out that the auction house’s manager seemed to be missing.

What on earth was happening to the ancient clan?

Although the incident was embarrassing, everyone knew that someone was challenging the ancient clan’s dignity.

The ancient clan’s dignity was unquestionable. Now that such an incident has occurred, the entire Northern State would be thrown into chaos!

Just two hours after the incident, about twenty figures appeared at the entrance of the ancient clan’s auction house in West Wind City.

All were masters in the Unity Period!
