The passage contained steps, extending downwards.

Yuwen Tiancheng briskly entered, Jiang Xiaobai swiftly followed, finally settling on Yuwen Tiancheng’s shoulder as a mosquito.

A few seconds later, a colossal cage emerged, housing dozens of the Qin Family members.

Qin Zheng and Qin Nianxue were standing at the forefront of the cage, glaring at Yuwen Tiancheng.

As Yuwen Tiancheng got closer, the father and daughter pair of the Qin Family were hit with a nauseating stench and could not help backing away.

The sight simply made Yuwen Tiancheng’s face turn green with anger. “Yuwen Tiancheng, what are you here for?” Qin Zheng coldly said.

“Not much, just came to see you.”

Yuwen Tiancheng scoffed, “Don’t be so stubborn. Just tell me where Jiang Bai is and I promise to let you go on being a grand family of Four Seas City.”

“I’ve said it a thousand times, a million times! I have nothing to do with Jiang Bai, and I certainly do not know where he is!” chimed in Qin Zheng.

Yuwen Tiancheng squints his eyes at Qin Zheng, “Don’t worry, I believe that

Jiang Bai will show up in a few days.”

“Yuwen Tiancheng, you bastard!” Qin Zheng roared, his hands violently shaking the cage bars.

He knew that Yuwen Tiancheng planned to use him as leverage, forcing Jiang Xiaobai to appear, such a despicable tactic was absolutely disdainful.

He was powerless, outmatched, and couldn’t fight the people under Yuwen Tiancheng, the city lord.

The sight of Qin Zheng’s helpless rage somewhat appeased the humiliation Yuwen Tiancheng felt earlier, he even felt somewhat exhilarated.

What he enjoyed most was torturing a person’s psyche, and then shattering it at the moment when they see a glimmer of hope.

With a few cold gazes at Qin Zheng, Yuwen Tiancheng grunted and turned to leave.

“Bastard, you bloody bastard, Yuwen Tiancheng let me out, let’s fight one on one!” yelled Qin Zheng. However, Yuwen Tiancheng couldn’t care less.

After leaving the secret room, Yuwen Tiancheng’s mood finally lightened, however, his gaze gradually darkened.

“Daring to sneak into my city lord’s mansion, you’re really asking for death.”

Yuwen Tiancheng muttered coldly to himself, then turned to leave the storage room.

Not long after he left, Jiang Xiaobai was lying in an isolated corner of the room in thought.

While he had found Qin Zheng and the others, there were too many of them. Even if he managed to take them with him, they couldn’t all escape.

Thirty-plus people were a massive target anywhere and would definitely attract the attention of the city lord’s mansion. Unless, he tried to break out by fighting.

But was that possible?

In reality, as soon as Yuwen Tiancheng realized he had been tricked, he activated a large defensive array, locking down the entire city lord’s mansion. There’s no way to escape.

At the moment, even Jiang Xiaobai himself cannot escape, let alone taking others with him.

Moreover, although he was a late-stage Yuan Infant who could easily slay someone in transcendence, there were quite a few transcended being on the side of the city lord’s mansion. Yuwen Tiancheng had even gone so far as to invite a significant number of powerful transcended beings from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.

Putting up a fight, having calculated a bit, Jiang Xiaobai was sure there was less than a 30% chance of success even if he went all out.

“This is a bit tough.”

Jiang Xiaobai squinted, and while he was pondering the current situation, the voice of the system suddenly came.

“Congratulations host on triggering a choice!”

“Choice one: Mind your own business. Reward: Ten years of cultivation.”

“Choice two: Take out all the Qin family members without alarming the city lord’s mansion. Reward: One-time use of the Nine Bend Yellow River

Formation. (Due to the limitations of the laws of heaven and earth, the Great

Array can only display one-tenth of its power.)”

“Choice three: Break out of the city lord’s mansion with the Qin Family. Reward: Release ten percent of post-heaven spirit treasure power.”

Jiang Xiaobai fell silent at the sight of these three choices.

Each reward was very tempting, and precisely what he needed at the moment, especially the last one.

Only heaven knew how many top-grade spirit stones he had fed to his Post-heaven Spirit Sword, yet it could only unleash less than ten percent of its might.

The key point is that even with that, the power of this treasure was shocking enough to allow Jiang Xiaobai to easily slay a transcended being.

If it could unleash ten percent of its power, he would probably be able to fight a god, even without holding back.

Moreover, he needed more spirit stones to improve his cultivation.

In Jiang Xiaobai’s plan, he intended to take a big step, hoard enough spirit stones, and then make a mad rush to break through.

Unfortunately, the third choice looked too hard to be successful in Jiang Xiaobai’s view.

It was too difficult. With over thirty people, if the other side had any formation means, it would be even less likely to succeed.

So he had to win wisely.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly remembered his Seven Gems Pagoda.

Although he couldn’t use this treasure to hit people, he could still use it forcibly!

He immediately took out the Seven Gems Pagoda and tried to inject spiritual power into it for use. If he remembered correctly, this treasure had its own space.

After all, it is an existence that can suppress all things.

Certainly enough, once he had injected spiritual power into it, he saw the vast space inside the Seven Gems Pagoda, which was more than sufficient to accommodate over thirty people.

And he found that he could use it!

“Just as I thought, I might not be able to hit people with this because I haven’t reached Transcendence, but there should be no problem using it to hold people.”

Jiang Xiaobai was elated deep down, and he immediately chose the second option provided by the system. He then activated the secret passage and flew in.

Everyone in the prison cell was dumbfounded as they saw the secret passage opening upfront, without seeing anyone entering. That made them highly vigilant, suspecting it to be one of Yuwen Tiancheng’s tactics.

As Qin Zheng was pondering, Jiang Xiaobai returned to his original form, abruptly appearing in front of everyone.

“Jiang Bai?” Qin Nianxue was initially shocked, then overjoyed upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai.

She never thought Jiang Xiaobai would actually come!

As she gathered her wits, she warned him in a panic, “Jiang Bai, you have to leave immediately. The city lord’s mansion is full of arrays, you won’t be able to escape once you’re exposed!”

Jiang Xiaobai smiles gently back at her, “No worries. I’ll be leaving soon. But before I go, I’ll have to take you all too.”

Hearing that warmed everyone’s hearts, they couldn’t have imagined that Jiang

Xiaobai who had little-to-no ties with them, would actually choose to help them in their dire circumstances.

“Mr. Jiang, while I understand your intention, there’s too many of us to possibly make a thorough escape. You mustn’t hesitate and go,” Qin Zheng shook his head and sighed as he took off his storage ring, “Mr. Jiang, this contains the legacy of my Qin Family. Take it and leave quickly.”

“This time, it was my Qin Family’s carelessness that led to this scenario, frankly speaking this has absolutely nothing to do with you, how could we still drag you down?”

“Put plainly, this crisis is completely my Qin Family’s fault.. How could we let you have such a predicament because of us?”
