The unpredictable attack sent shivers down the spines of the five men in black.
But their rage was even more intense.
They no longer planned to chase anyone, they wanted to find the guy hiding in the shadows and give him a severe beating.
Unfortunately, the three fools, although notorious for their odd thinking, had some intellect.
They wisely chose not to reveal themselves at this time.
In this way, the five men held a standoff with the air. In the end, they decided to give up.
They could not find the person hidden in the dark. By now, some time had passed and Jiang Xiaobai had certainly managed to get quite far, making him impossible to catch.
“Damn it, we let him escape!”
The leader of the men in black cursed, turning to glance at his severely injured comrade, a sense of caution filled his eyes.
“This Hong Shixian is truly not ordinary. He possesses such a potent potential and terrifying strength in his Yuan Infant’s later period. If we let him grow further, who knows what he will become?” the leader sighed with furrowed brows.
“Big Brother, what do we do now? Should we tell Missy?”
“Of course, we need to inform Missy, if she finds out that you were hiding the truth, she’ll flay you alive!”
The leader scoffed, “At the very least, we managed to ruffle the boy’s feathers somewhat. After telling Missy, we can resume the chase and expose his traces.”
“That’s when the real fun begins.”
In a side residence within Mad Demon City, Zhuang Huanling slammed her palm onto the table.
“A bunch of idiots, can’t even handle this simple task?”
Zhuang Huanling was livid, her usual calm and lofty demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
She, Zhuang Huanling, casually handled those at the Dividing The Gods stage, and now she’s facing defeat at the hands of a late stage Yuan Infant? It’s absolutely humiliating.
This increased her hatred for Jiang Xiaobai, reaching a new height.
“Hong Shixian, you just wait. If I don’t skin you alive, I’ll take your last name!” Zhuang Huanling snorted.
Previously, she thought that dealing with Jiang Xiaobai would be as easy as pie, but now it seems she had underestimated him.
Thinking about this, Zhuang Huanling narrowed her eyes in annoyance. “Humph, let’s see how you manage to escape this time.”
Then, she took out a communication token, “Once the message is spread, inform the people from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. But remember, if that kid’s life is in danger, someone must save him.”
After saying that, she put away the communication token. Then, she turned to Shuier, who was standing beside her, wearing a wide grin.
“Linger, you’re too softhearted.”
Zhuang Huanling scoffed, her face flushed, “That’s not true, I’ve always been like this. I just want to give Hong Shixian a lesson, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone from the Dividing The Gods stage to protect him from the shadows; at most, he’ll just lose some skin, he won’t die.”
“After all, this is the price he should pay!”
While Zhuang Huanling is often referred to as a witch, a lot of the time, she merely bullies people; her way of bullying just tends to be rather intimidating.
So far, she hasn’t pushed someone to the point where she had no choice but to kill them.
Because sticking to this wouldn’t suit her image, and those who didn’t know her identity were not even worthy of her contempt.
“Alright, there’s a banquet prepared by the Wuhai Academy tomorrow evening, a welcoming celebration for us. As of now, only a few sects have arrived, everyone else is on their way.” Shuier laughed, “Are you going?”
“I suppose I could go. They say the Wuhai Academy ranks quite well within the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, so there should be plenty of talented disciples.”
“What, are you daydreaming about romantic prospects again?” Shuier giggled, which earned her an eye roll from Zhuang Huanling.
The two women immediately delved into a discussion about prospective love interests, focusing on their looks and talents.
At this moment, the entire Mad Demon City and even the entire Thousand Yuan Dynasty were in an uproar.
Jiang Xiaobai, disguised as Hong Shixian, was exposed. Countless people eager for the bounty on Hong Shixian’s head had been searching for him in the past few days.
Now, a clue about his whereabouts had been revealed, causing people to rush towards a mountain range more than a hundred miles west of the Mad Demon City.
Not only the experts from Mad Demon City, but a group of elites from the Wuhai Academy also headed there, swearing to wash away the shame Jiang Xiaobai had brought upon them.
And the Thousand Yuan Dynasty was taking this matter very seriously too.
Before, there was Jiang Bai, who was ignorant of danger. Now, another out-of-control individual, Hong Shixian, had appeared during the special time of the opening of Mad Demon Secret Land. The dynasty would not allow such happenings to continue.
Immediately, the dynasty sent out their experts!
Strength of all directions aimed at Jiang Xiaobai in the mountain range; everyone was on a tight schedule, for fear that others might reach Jiang Xiaobai first.
For a time, the seldom-visited mountain areas were swarmed with people, with many choosing to travel in groups for safety reasons.
Due to this, the teams became larger and larger.
In the dense forest of the mountain range, a group of five people were heading in a certain direction at a rapid speed.
“Hurry, we can’t let Wang Haitian’ group beat us to it, this time, Hong Shixian must be ours.”
“Hong Shixian is just in the late stage of the Yuan Infant, with two of us in the early stages of Transcendence, once we meet him, it’s his end!”
“We must speed up. As far as I know, there are at least a thousand people rushing here, all wanting Hong Shixian’s head for the bounty. If we’re too slow, the fifty million reward will be gone!”
The five people rushed and discussed in low voices.
They were completely unaware that two figures were closely tailing them from behind.
“Boss, why are we following them like this? Aren’t they easy prey for us?” AnRan asked, puzzled.
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, “What do you know? Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, countless people are out to get us. If we really try to kill them,
we might get caught and then killed by someone else.”
“Today, your boss will teach you another lesson, sometimes, we need to use other’s momentum to our advantage!”
“Use their… momentum? What does that mean?” AnRan was filled with confusion.
“Just watch, and follow my instructions.”
Soon, the group Jiang Xiaobai was tailing encountered another group. After ensuring that they were not threats, they parted ways.
After a short while, they ran into another group but, just like before, they watched each other warily before separating again.
As time went on, the group encountered more and more people – all coming here in search of Jiang Xiaobai.
The reason was that when Jiang Xiaobai’s tracks were reported, he was near this place.
Jiang Xiaobai extended his Divine Soul’s perception, and checked the surroundings carefully. He found that quite a few people had gathered around this area.
At this moment, a smile appeared on his face..
