Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Are You Insisting on Pushing Yourself to a Dead End?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai realized that the consequences were extremely serious.
Initially, the White Crane had warned him not to misuse Merit, or the Zi Xiao Divine Thunder would be attracted, causing the Jiuxuan Continent to collapse.
Now, the implications of activating this altar were no less severe, enough to demonstrate how terrifying it was.
“Do you know how to activate this thing?”
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly asked, curious.
“Very simple. Just use the blood of a sacred beast. But don’t bother; you definitely…”
Before White Crane finished speaking, a little black dog ran up, sniffing around his feet.
He instantly felt somewhat dumbfounded.
Shh!
Without any guard, the dog egg was picked up by White Crane and then held in front of him for a close look.
The man and the dog locked eyes, both of them stunned.
But looking at White Crane’s shocked expression, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to have discovered something.
“Do you know where this guy comes from?” He raised his eyebrows.
White Crane, however, squinted his eyes and shook his head.
“I don’t know. I thought he came from the altar. He’s yours, right?”
White Crane casually tossed the dog egg to Jiang Xiaobai: “You’re pretty weird. Out of all pets, you chose a mutt.”
“You really don’t know?”
“Get lost.”
White Crane said coldly. Jiang Xiaobai just shrugged his shoulders and embraced the dog egg in his arms.
“Alright, all of you need to leave. Don’t come back here.”
Saying this, White Crane started to leave, Jiang Xiaobai and his team followed up quickly, their faces full of bewilderment.
White Crane could say anything, but he absolutely couldn’t declare with such certainty that Dog-Egg was merely a mutt!
Because that undoubtedly could not be a mut!
Have you seen a mutt that, when it was just palm-sized, could eat meat several times its size?
It was clear that White Crane knew something but he wouldn’t speak.
Jiang Xiaobai did not press further, instead he started to ask White Crane about the Saint City.
After some conversation, White Crane learned that Jiang Xiaobai planned to go towards the Towards Heaven Sect, and his face showed surprise.
He looked at Jiang Xiaobai strangely: “Are you sure you want to go to the Towards Heaven Sect? There are so many sects in the Saint City. Why must you go to the Towards Heaven Sect?”
“What’s wrong with that? Is there a rule against it?”
“You don’t know, do you? The people from the Saint City who are looking for you out there, do you know why they are so frantic?”
White Crane chuckled, shaking his head: “The item you’re holding is the foundation of Towards Heaven Sect, and you dare to head there – you’ve got a lot of guts.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
After all this time, the mastermind turns out to be the Towards Heaven Sect?
“Not only that, but Tianmo Sect is also interested in that item. So, I suggest you give it to me for safekeeping.”
White Crane spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately laughed: “What’s the use of you holding on to it? Wouldn’t they just come to find me?”
“No, there’s a great use. I can auction it off and we can split the profit: 30% for me, 70% for you.”
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was hesitant; this was a pretty good deal.
After all, he didn’t know what he had in his hand that could drive people so crazy.
Besides one token, nothing was left other than half of the cultivation technique.
“Won’t you consider it?”
“Alright, I’ll give it to you.”
Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai took out the two special items he had. White Crane’s eyes bulged in response.
“You found the token?”
“Of course, without the token, I couldn’t have gotten the latter half of the cultivation technique.”
White Crane squinted, and after seeming to understand something, he nodded and took away both items.
“Hide for a couple of days. The news will be out today, and in three days, meet in Cliff City.”
Having said this, White Crane was ready to leave, but Jiang Xiaobai grabbed onto him.
“Wait, I have something else to discuss with you. Do you have this thing?”
Jian Xiaobai took out a piece of World Stone.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai clearly saw a twitch at the corner of White Crane’s mouth, then White Crane looked at him with a surprised expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Then, White Crane scratched his head.
“You’re really trying to push yourself into a dead-end, aren’t you?”
Jiang Xiaobai was also stunned. He knew that White Crane must have this thing in his possession, but it seemed that the World Stone had significant implications.
For a while, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know whether it was good or bad that he had brought out the World Stone.
“How much do you want?” After a long time, White Crane finally spoke.
“One hundred pieces.”
“You have quite the appetite. Alright, I can give it to you, but in three days’ time, I won’t have these items.”
White Crane squinted at Jian Xiaobai: “You should know my rules. If you want something, you have to exchange it for something of equal value.”
“What do you want?”
“No more benefits for you. This thing is now mine.”
White Crane said, swinging the token and half of the cultivation technique in his hand.
Jiang Xiaobai just nodded and didn’t say much. Naturally, he knew White Crane’s rules. Although he’s always there to help, it’s a separate matter.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s agreement, White Crane nodded and suddenly disappeared as if he had melded into a water-color painting.
Jiang Xiaobai had to admit from the bottom of his heart – he was envious of this!
What level of power must one achieve to be able to do this?
“Did you just give it to him like that?”
Ao Cheng scratched his head, confused: “Is a hundred pieces of this broken stone really enough, Jiang Xiaobai? Maybe you’ve been fooled.”
At his words, Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes. Ao Cheng was nothing more than a guy who could never say anything nice.
“Enough chit-chat. Let’s get ready for the next three days. Who knows, we might just make it to the Saint City then.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Saint City, that’s their next goal, and the goal of countless people on this continent!
If they could make a name for themselves in Saint City, it would be a testament to their strength.
Fully prepared, Jiang Xiaobai and his team left swiftly.
…
That same day, two major news swept through the Northern State.
The first one was that the pawnshop announced they were auctioning a great treasure. They declared that it was a treasure that everyone in the Saint City was seeking.
For a moment, the Northern State was stirred!
Those who knew about the pawnshop felt threatened, while those who didn’t took this as a joke.
In their eyes, an unknown force was trying to bluff on such a grand scale.
Even so, many people found out what the pawnshop was auctioning and even those who didn’t know wanted to go and see the excitement.
If the sudden action of the pawnshop surprised people, then the other news sent shock waves and led to an uproar!
The Heavenly Sword Sect announced that they held someone extremely important to Jiang Xiaobai.
If Jiang Xiaobai didn’t appear in Cliff City within three days, that person would undoubtedly die!
