“I don’t have that much money…” said Lin Sien unconsciously.
Jiang Xiaobai laughed, “No matter, we can make a loan if you don’t have money, with fair interest and ample time.”
“You…”
Lin Sien was stunned, but she quickly reacted. Although she wasn’t sure what the handsome man in front of her was talking about, she was certain that he intended to swindle her.
So, Lin Sien coldly rebuked him, “You rascal, talking nonsense, dream on if you want money from me.”
“Eh? Why are you like this? At least I managed to save your life, you can’t even show gratitude, and even scold me?” Jiang Xiaobai quickly stood up.
“You!”
Lin Sien was immediately speechless, upon reflecting she realized he was indeed correct.
However, she could not help but feel angry seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s attitude. As she was about to speak, a cry suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.
“Found it, she’s here!”
Lin Sien’s face instantly turned pale, as she saw several men in black at the cave entrance, and more coming towards her.
“Damn, how many days have I been in cultivation breakthrough?” Lin Sien asked urgently.
“Three days.”
“What, it’s been three days?”
Lin Sien exclaimed, and at this moment, the men in black burst into the cave with murderous intent, and the cave began to glow with flashing swords.
After devouring a Xian Dan (a kind of pill) and reaching a breakthrough, Lin Sien engaged the adversaries, feeling invigorated and finding her enemies easy to slaughter.
In a blink of an eye, she eliminated five of them. The rest retreated, fully aware of Lin Sien’s formidable strength, even as more men in black arrived, surging to over thirty.
These men sealed off the cave entrance with three formidable Sky Spirit
Intermediate-phase warriors at the front.
“Lin Sien, there’s no escape for you today!” the leader sneered, “I advise you to peacefully surrender and meet Prince… young master, otherwise you’ll regret it.”
In response, Lin Sien scoffed, “Dream on, you think I’d go with you? Do you know the consequences if my master finds out?”
“Certainly, the silver moon sect master cares deeply tor you, his saintess, but so what? Do you think you can escape today?”
The leader coldly scoffed, and seeing Lin Sien’s resistance, motioned his men to advance.
The men in black slowly advanced, clutching a variety of weapons.
Cornered inside the cave, Lin Sien was in a precarious position. She risked being overrun if she didn’t come up with a plan soon. At this moment, she glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.
He was sitting casually, as if the men in black outside were of no concern to him.
“You can actually sit still?” Lin Sien gritted her teeth and questioned.
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged, “Why not? They came to capture you, not me.” “Hah, you think they would let a third party live? If I’m captured, you won’t escape death either.”
“What do you suggest then?” “Help me fight our way out. That’s the only way both of us can survive.”
“Sure, but at an extra cost.’
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s harmless smile, Lin Sien nearly spat blood in anger. “At a time like this, you’re still thinking about money!”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed, “Of course! For such a risky task, why wouldn’t I charge extra?”
At this point, the men in black outside the cave laughed and shook their heads.
“You two are quite interesting. Let’s get them, don’t give them a chance to escape!”
At the leader’s command, the men in black all charged at Lin Sien, who glared back with a ferocious look on her face.
“Damn it, if you help me get out, in addition to your eight million top-grade spirit stones, I’ll give you an extra two million top-grade spirit stones!”
Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face. He reached out his hand, and a horrifyingly powerful long sword materialized in his palm.
As he brandished the sword, everyone felt a chill, their scalps tingling.
This was a Later-stage Spirit Treasure, capable of sending shivers down one’s spine, not simply due to its sharpness.
“Just sit and watch, leave the rest to me!”
With a laugh, Jiang Xiaobai dashed out of the cave. The black-clad man blocking the entrance instinctively lifted his sword to parry, but Jiang Xiaobai’s Spirit Treasure was far from an ordinary blade.
With a casual swing, the weapons of the men in black crumbled like tofu. Jiang Xiaobai then plunged his sword forward, creating a dazzling sword beam.
The front few were immediately pierced by the beam. In the blink of an eye,
Jiang Xiaobai appeared before three Sky Spirit Intermediate-phase warriors.
With a sweep of his sword, its unparalleled power burst forth, beheading the trio before they could react.
With their strongest warriors taken out, the remaining underlings were as helpless as ants before Jiang Xiaobai. In no time, all of them were eliminated, none escaped.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai started his professional cleanup routine – burning the corpses to ashes, spreading them, and then looting the spoils.
Seeing his fluid movements, Lin Sien was dumbstruck. She glanced at her own sword, and recalled Jiang Xiaobai casually slaying his enemies, which sent a chill down her spine.
What kind of man was this?
How could he be so powerful, rendering those black-clad men, who even she had problems dealing with, as weak as paper creatures?
And he seemed well accustomed to this!
Just as a shocked Lin Sien was still processing this, Jiang Xiaobai, having finished gathering the spoils, strolled back to her with a grin. “That comes to ten million in total, pay up.”
“I don’t have that much money…” Lin Sien hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened, feeling fooled, “You’re playing me, why would you make a promise if you don’t have money?”
“I… I don’t have money, but my master does. If you accompany me back, I’ll get you the money,” Lin Sien hastily added.
Having seen Jiang Xiaobai’s prowess, she knew she couldn’t fight him. Her only option was to negotiate.
Furthermore, it would be safer with Jiang Xiaobai escorting her back. Although he didn’t seem like a decent person, Lin Sien figured that he was money-focused, and as long as she was willing to pay, her safety wouldn’t be compromised.
As expected, upon hearing her proposition, Jiang Xiaobai smiled again, “That sounds agreeable, where’s your master?”
“Silver Moon Sect.”
“Alright, let’s go. Time is precious to me.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and with Lin Sien, they soared into the sky, hastening toward the Silver Moon Sect..
