Chapter 484: Chapter 484: The Martial World is Dangerous
Come to think of it, everything Jiang Xiaobai said he’d do, he actually did!

Like when he promised Xiao Yuwei, he really made it happen!

And then when he was messed with by the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, he said he would topple them, and he did!

Albeit, these promises are all weighted with purpose.

But, overall, what Jiang Xiaobai just said was not wrong.

“Alright, us of the Demon Mountain naturally trust in Brother Jiang’s word!”

The elder elder had a hell of a headache, he just wanted to deal with Jiang Xiaobai as quickly as possible and then have him shove off.

So as to avoid extra complications later.

“Isn’t that great then, hurry up and spill it, so I can go settle accounts with the ancient clan.” JiangXiongbai responded nonchalantly.

Although this was the way he expressed himself, it was not what he was truly thinking.

He had long-standing grudges with the Demon Mountain, how could he not seize the opportunity to strike?

The current strategy was just to play for time.

“Okay, the first question is also very simple. The ancient clan left with the Xuanwu Sect, they have gone to the Holy City.”

“What?!”

Ao Cheng blurted out in surprise: “These damn ancient clan, they sure know how to run fast. They’re pretty clever, knowing to flee to the Holy City!”

“But how could they get involved with the Xuanwu Sect?”

The grand elder slowly shook his head: “It’s a long story. The Xuanwu Sect selected disciples in the Northern State and were impressed by GuBei’s talent, he became a personal disciple of a senior elder in the Xuanwu Sect, and of course, the ancient clan benefited from this.”

“Let’s not talk about this for now, the second question, in fact, we of Demon Mountain also do not know the location of the base of the Xuanwu Sect, otherwise they would have been dealt with long ago, we only know that three days ago, the people from the Xuanwu Sect appeared near Qingxuan City. If you dare to go there now, you are still in time.”

After stating this, the grand elder passed a storage ring to Jiang Xiaobai.

With this, all of Jiang Xiaobai’s demands were satisfied, putting the grand elder at ease.

Seeing how he was able to conjure up another ten billion spirit stones so easily, Ao Cheng was left puckering his lips in astonishment.

“Damn it, Jiang Xiaobai, you should have asked for more! If you had known, you should have asked for tens of billions more!”

“Although, it’s not much of an amount, but at the end of the day, it’s always better to have than to have none at all!”

Upon hearing this, the grand elder almost collapsed with anger.

“Hold on, I just need to hold on and get rid of this plague. Once this is over, I will definitely find an opportunity to exterminate him.”

He comforted himself in his heart.

Although his heart was filled with profanities, on the surface, he was always smiling warmly at Jiang Xiaobai.

Looking at the face of the elderly man, which was looking as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel a wave of nausea.

“Alright, alright, that’s it.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and resumed eating his barbecued meat. However, the Demon Mountain crew that was around him showed no signs of leaving!

“What are you all still doing here? Do you want to have some?” Jiang Xiaobai held up his wine jug and chuckled.

“No, no, it’s just that the night is beautiful, and us, the people of Demon Mountain, stepped out for a stroll. Mr. Jiang, please go on with your own tasks and ignore us.”

The grand elder’s voice was filled with mirth, while the atmosphere between the two groups was almost close to openly hostile.

Jiang Xiaobai and his group were speechless at their actions.

With so many people watching, it wasn’t interesting to eat meat and drink anymore. So, Jiang Xiaobai simply left with his people.

Only when Jiang Xiaobai’s group had truly departed for quite a while, the grand elder from Demon Mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief,

“That was really tiring, Jiang Xiaobai is too cunning. But thankfully, I was willing to pay a lot, otherwise today’s matter would have been really difficult to handle.”

The grand elder sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, applause and praise surrounded him.

“Grand elder, you’re amazing!”

“Now I finally know why I can’t be the grand elder, if I were handling today’s matter, I wouldn’t have been able to resolve it.”

“It’s no wonder you’re the grand elder, you managed to send this calamity away smoothly, amazing!”

Hearing all these compliments, the grand elder certainly looked a lot happier.

“Alright, let’s go back. Just complete the tasks assigned by the Demon Lord and you will be rewarded greatly.”

It wasn’t until then that everyone finally left.

What they didn’t know was that although Jiang Xiaobai seemed to have left, he had actually returned via earth element technique and eavesdropped on them using the “Divine Concealment” technique.

“Just as I suspected. I don’t have time to deal with you guys now, but here’s hoping that place isn’t the secret realm the An Family is looking for. Otherwise, even if I don’t want to, I’ll have to stir things up!”

Jiang Xiaobai remained hidden underground, hissing with cold laughter.

He had known that Demon Mountain was definitely up to something in the dark. That so-called secret place definitely wasn’t right, but he had refrained from asking.

Once he asked, wouldn’t his intentions be exposed?

He could only wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble later.

After all, he didn’t explicitly say he wouldn’t meddle forever!

After gathering the information, Jiang Xiaobai left immediately.

“How did it go? Any news?” Ao Cheng asked anxiously as soon as he returned.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: “There wasn’t much information, but I can confirm that Demon Mountain is definitely up to something behind the scenes. Humph, they wanted to sell information on the ancient clan to me and forced me to go to the Northern State, I haven’t settled this score with them yet!”

“But didn’t you just say you weren’t going to cause trouble anymore?” asked Ao Yan bewilderedly.

For a time, Jiang Xiaobai felt a bit helpless: “You, you’re still too naive. Although I said that I won’t be meddling in petty matters, I didn’t say I wouldn’t meddle forever!”

“We’ll wait and see what happens after a while, we simply can’t let Demon Mountain get off that easily.”

At these words, Ao Yan blushed.

She knew very little about the world of Jianghu.

After all, she was born and raised in the Dragon Valley, surrounded by wealth and luxury, everyone was extremely indulgent and protective of her.

How could she know about the treacherous workings of human hearts?

It was mostly just conflicts over power, but since she had an impressive lineage and was undoubtedly the saintess, her ignorance of certain matters was normal.

But it doesn’t mean Ao Yan was devoid of intelligence, just from this brief exchange of words, she could ascertain the hardships Jiang Xiaobai faced after leaving the dragon bone.

Experiencing remorse over Jiang Xiaobai’s sufferings, her heart was filled with guilt and her mood was sour.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai knew nothing about this.

He waved his hand: “Let’s go, let’s take advantage of our current situation and check out the Xuanwu Sect. This power could be useful.”

The Xuanwu Sect has been fighting against the ancient clan for so many years and not yet fallen, there must be a reason behind it.

If he could make them his own, it would be good, if not, he can still build some rapport, paving the way for Dragon Valley’s absorption of the Northern State’s power in the future.

Also, within Qingxuan City, is the Zijing Pavillion!

The mysterious man in the black cloak from before was from Zijing Pavilion, he could check it out if he gets the chance.

Meanwhile, in a hidden cave outside Qingxuan City, hundreds of people were gathered.

This place was an important outpost of the Xuanwu Sect!

Mo Feng, you have made numerous contributions. You have been of great help to our Xuanwu Sect.”

“Now, the position of the outpost master is yours.”

An elder spoke to Mo Yu with a smile, while the rest of the group looked on with envy.

“Rest assured, elder, I will certainly lead the people of this outpost to glory!”

Mo Feng stepped forward, his face resolute.

At the same time, he clenched his fist and silently swore.

“Sister, rest assured, I will avenge you!”
