At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly understood. The events of today must have been meticulously planned by Liu Dongsheng!
He realized he might never return from the City Lord Mansion, and a sense of despair surged in his heart.
Liu Dongsheng had conspired with the City Lord Mansion!
His Qin Family had needlessly spent twenty million top-grade spirit stones, only to play into the hands of others!
“Liu Dongsheng, may you die a terrible death!” Qin Zheng fumed, his face fiery red and his eyes brimming with rage.
Liu Dongsheng sneered, “Qin Zheng, blame your own foolishness. Spending such a large amount buying a share of the mines at this time is practically handing me money.”
“Hmph, even if my Qin family is to perish today, I will drag you, Liu Dongsheng, down with us!”
Qin Zheng roared in fury, his aura suddenly reaching its peak. Bizarrely, the aura emanating from him alone was more powerful than that of the two opponents combined, displaying a desperate burst of his full potential. “Nianxue, Jiang Bai, you both must escape at once!”
Qin Zheng bellowed and pulled out a long sword, leading the charge towards Liu Dongsheng.
A major battle was imminent. Three Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses clashed in the air, causing a seething resonance.
Liu Dongsheng’s entourage also quickly advanced towards the Qin family, their faces twisted in malicious grins, gearing up to eradicate every last member of the Qin family.
“Young Master has commanded, capture Qin Nianxue alive but do not harm her!” The leader wildly laughed holding up his long blade before they forcefully charged into the Qin Family Mansion.
Immediately, the premises were filled with howls, screams, and the constant clanging of metal, permeating the air with the smell of blood in just an instant.
Although Nianxue was only at the late Golden Core stage, her combat power was not to be underestimated. In the ensuing chaos, she valiantly fought her way out.
“Chase her, go after her, we can’t let her escape!”
Nianxue, carrying Jiang Xiaobai, dashed forward, her pretty face serious. She knew if she didn’t seek help from a stronger person at the City Lord Mansion, the Qin Family was doomed today.
In contrast to Nianxue’s grave countenance while she fought for her life, Jiang Xiaobai appeared calm and composed. He had seen Qin Zheng’s strength and knew that he could obstruct the opponents for a while.
It wasn’t that Jiang Xiaobai did not want to intervene; this was part of his plan!
“Hurry, if we get caught, we’re done for!” Nianxue shouted at Jiang Xiaobai.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, more than ten figures appeared before them, blocking their way.
“Hehe, Qin Nianxue, where do you think you’re running off to?” The man at front asked with a lewd laugh.
Recognising this man, Nianxue gritted her teeth. She knew he was the most loyal and disgusting henchman of Liu Tian.
Instantly, Nianxue was on high alert. She pointed her long sword straight ahead, prepared to fight with her life on the line.
“Brothers, capture her alive. As for that guy, just chop him up and feed him to the dogs.” The repugnant man said, clearly unbothered.
At his command, more than ten people dashed forward with malevolent grins.
Seeing this, Nianxue gritted her teeth, gripped her sword and was about to charge forth to fight when she was abruptly restrained by Jiang Xiaobai.
“Are you usually this brave?” Jiang Xiaobai asked, unable to restrain himself.
“Nonsense! If I have to fight for my life, I’d rather die than be captured!” An enraged Nianxue glared at Jiang Xiaobai, “Let me go, you coward! I can’t believe I once thought so highly of you!”
Jiang Xiaobai had no intention of clearing up Nianxue’s misunderstanding.
He calmly glanced ahead and said: “Get lost quickly if you wish to remain alive. Don’t say I didn’t warn you later.”
“Kid, do you think you’re strong enough to have the nerve to be so arrogant?” The lewd man at the forefront mockingly laughed, “Brothers, ignore this trash and kill him directly.”
At once, a group of people ruthlessly charged forward. This sight completely shattered Nianxue’s hope. She knew the Qin family was doomed! She glared hatefully at Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes full of resentment.
“You damn…”
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was rendered speechless on the spot.
She saw Jiang Xiaobai’s figure disappear from its original place, reappearing amidst the crowd. Amidst the rapid flurries of blades and swords, Nianxue saw Jiang Xiaobai’s fingers come together, swiftly and effortlessly slaying the encircling enemies like slicing through vegetables.
This spectacle made Nianxue’s eyes go wide.
In just a moment, the ground was littered with corpses.
“You…” Nianxue looked at Jiang Xiaobai incredulously, “Who exactly are you!”
“Ah, I’m just a passerby.” Jiang Xiaobai sighed and shook his head. Who would have thought that triggering one random system option would lead to such a situation?
Watching the bodies on the ground, Jiang Xiaobai was calm. He casually threw out a black flame that incinerated the corpses and then turned to look at Nianxue.
At this point, Nianxue, a look of shock on her face, instinctively took two steps back when she felt Jiang Xiaobai’s gaze.
Jiang Xiaobai was left speechless. “Let’s go. I will take you to Feng Liangfei, the unreliable city lord.”
“What do you mean?”
“What do you think? Your father and two powerhouses make such a racket in the city, which attracts such a crowd, yet Feng Liangfei, the City Lord, hasn’t reacted at all. It’s evident that he’s in cahoots with the Liu family,” Jiang Xiaobai casually replied.
Upon hearing this, Nianxue’s eyes widened, “If that’s the case, why are we going to the City Lord’s mansion?”
Jiang Xiaobai raised the corners of his mouth in a cold smile. “Of course we are going. I’m the type of person who holds grudges.”
Jiang Xiaobai did not originally have any negative feelings towards the City Lord mansion. However, during the auction, Feng He had the audacity to poison his tea!
This was not a big deal, so Jiang Xiaobai did not raise the issue. Instead, he planned to retaliate when the opportunity presented itself later that night.
Now, since such an opportunity had presented itself, he immediately told Qin Zheng about his plans. Qin Zheng agreed that he could hold out for at least an hour, and so, without hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai dashed towards the City Lord Mansion.
After being poisoned, there was no way that Jiang Xiaobai, who was no saint, would just tolerate it.
Immediately, Jiang Xiaobai lifted Nianxue by her collar and leapt into the sky, flying directly towards the City Lord Mansion.
While flying overhead, Nianxue was completely stunned; she would never have guessed that Jiang Xiaobai was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaobai had reached the City Lord Mansion where Feng Liangfei and his son Feng He were leisurely sipping tea, their faces devoid of any worry.
“Dear friend in the sky, would you please join us here?” Feng Liangfei invited, a mild smile on his face. Simultaneously, three Nascent Soul Stage auras emerged within the City Lord Mansion.
Three figures instantly appeared beside Feng Liangfei, all of them glaring coldly at Jiang Xiaobai.
With a smile on his face, Feng Liangfei said, “My friend, it’s not wise to become enemies with my mansion over the Qin family, is it?”
