Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Sorry, I didn’t know just now.
“Big Brother, what should we do, we all followed them to the Holy City!” murmured Hu Er.
“Humph, what’s there to be afraid of, don’t you know that we’re all now masters of the Unity Period? If the three of us can’t beat them, can’t we run away?” snorted Hu San.
“Third Brother is right. Why should we be afraid of their Holy City?”
With a scoff, Hu Da said, “All three of us brothers have reached the Peak of the Late Fusion Stage. I vaguely feel that we will breakthrough to the initial stage of Tribulation in a few days. By then, won’t we be able to stroll around the Holy City?”
“Big Brother is mighty!”
“Big Brother is wise!”
“Damn, keep your voices down. Don’t you know we are currently in the territory of the Ancient Clan?”
Hu Da immediately gave both of the others a smack on the head.
The two brothers didn’t dare to make a sound, they just sulkily held their heads and stood there.
Narrowing his eyes, Hu Da put on a sage-like air, “We could inform Jiang Xiaobai.”
“Right, right, right, we were sent here by Jiang Xiaobai after all, running such risks this time, we ought to ask him for money!” Hu San hastily chimed in.
“But how much should we ask for? What if Jiang Xiaobai can’t afford it?” Hu Er interrupted anxiously.
“A hundred million top-grade spirit stones, not a stone less. If that dog Jiang Xiaobai refuses to pay, we should straight up nab him!” Hu Da sneered.
“Big Brother really is the Big Brother!”
In unison, Hu Er and Hu San praised him, but because their voices were a bit loud, they got another beating from Hu Da.
Afterwards, Hu Da began rummaging in his storage ring for the communication token that Jiang Xiaobai had given him.
However, after searching for a while, he discovered a serious problem.
“Damn, the token is gone!” Hu Da shouted, grinding his teeth.
How did the communication token disappear from the secure storage of his ring?
What kind of joke is this?
Missing out on such a profitable opportunity, the three brothers regretted it bitterly.
“No, the money we lost on Jiang Xiaobai, we have to get it back from the Ancient Clan!”
Suddenly, Hu Da made a wise decision.
The other brothers’ eyes gleamed in response.
“Big Brother is awesome! Even thinking of this, no wonder he’s the Big Brother!”
“Let’s go, let’s get to it, we can’t forget!”
Completely unaware, Gu Jingguo had people in his territory openly planning to swindle him out of his money.
In actual fact, the three brothers were once innocent, unable to do such deeds.
But due to their employer’s orders, they had been keeping tabs on Jiang Xiaobai for a long time, using their eerie and terrifying stealth technique, watching as Jiang Xiaobai swindled several people.
Now, they had learned a substantial amount from his deceitful tactics.
So much so that later on, when Gu Jingguo was tricked, he thought it was Jiang Xiaobai’s doing.
Of course, that’s a story for another time.
…
Likewise, within Northern State, only five days away from a scheduled meeting in a secret location, Jiang Xiaobai and his group didn’t want to waste any time.
They couldn’t care less about getting involved in the power struggles of other factions. They simply sent the information to the An Family and Long Valley.
After all, this was a piece of fat meat. Devouring Northern State, these two forces could increase their strength significantly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai and the others were scouring the map for a force called Xuanmen.
Xuanmen remained elusive, all were aware of the grudge between them and the Ancient Clan and wanted to get rid of the Ancient Clan. However, after such a long time, no one knew where the headquarters of Xuanmen were.
This was the reason they managed to survive thus far under the terrifying pressure from the Ancient Clan.
If even the Ancient Clan, familiar with the lands, could not locate them, then there was certainly something ghostly about Jiang Xiaobai being able to find them.
However, while hunting for traces of Xuanmen, Jiang Xiaobai encountered members of the Demon Mountain.
At that moment, on a small hillock, Jiang Xiaobai and his group were hiding their auras, watching the combat in front of them.
Demon Mountain was at war with a minor clan. The minor clan had unintentionally offended Demon Mountain and was now being besieged.
Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t some savior-like figure so he didn’t feel any particular obligation to the small clan. What he needed were the people of Demon Mountain.
Under their watchful gaze, the members of the minor clan were quickly slaughtered clean by the Demon Mountain, leaving only their clan leader angrily bellowing.
“Bastards, what did we do to offend you?”
“Haha, your daughter refused me, so why should I maintain your clan?”
The leader of Demon Mountain chuckled coldly. “Clans like yours, without actual strength, shouldn’t hold onto such s-called principles. In the eyes of the strong, you are no better than dogs.”
“You!”
The leader of the minor clan was filled with anguish. As he looked at the scene filled with bodies, he could no longer bear the humiliation and chose to burn all his spiritual power for self-destruction!
Even in death, he would take down a few of them with him!
Unfortunately, his power was too weak; he was merely in the middle stage of the Yuan Infant.
As a member of the late stage of Dividing the Gods, the Demon Mountain was easily able to kill him with a slap. The man couldn’t even manage to self-destruct!
This was indeed the cruellest part of the world.
Weaklings can do nothing but suffer in silence.
Even though it may look like Jiang Xiaobai and his group were always having a smooth sailing, only those who had been through the dangers would know how precarious their situations were!
And, power exchanged for their lives was indeed the best guarantee.
“Ah, this savagery of the world…” AnRan sighed heavily as he watched the tragedy unfold.
“Why are you sighing? Just live well, that’s all. The world is like this. There are no saviors, only ruthless demons.”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke placidly, “If you don’t want to be eaten, you must use every means to grow stronger.”
“Enough with your damn sighs, let’s go to work.”
Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai was already charging with his sword, Yuen Hong, with Ao Yan following close behind.
In a chaotic battlefield, the group from Demon Mountain was collecting their spoils of war, grinning from ear to ear.
“Hurry up, don’t forget we have a task to inspect that secret location,” the leader yelled, and the rest of the Demon Mountain group picked up their pace.
Just then, a sword light appeared out of nowhere. It was vast, like a grand starry lake.
Many from Demon Mountain didn’t even have time to react before they were slayed by Jiang Xiaobai.
The leader was shocked and quickly drew his weapon to see who was bold enough to provoke Demon Mountain.
Then, he saw a face familiar to everyone in Northern State.
“Jiang Xiaobai, are you insane enough to attack Demon Mountain?!” the man roared in fury.
After easily slaying one of the members of Demon Mountain, Jiang Xiaobai gave him a friendly smile, “Oh, so you guys are from Demon Mountain. Sorry, I didn’t realize.”
“You!”

“What’s up with me?”
Not waiting for the man to say anything else, Jiang Xiaobai had already appeared in front of the man with Yuen Hong in hand. The man staggered back in fear, almost falling over.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai gave a cold laugh, “What were you trying to say just now? Come, come, let’s have a good talk.”
“I’m all ears.”
Leaning down to get a better look, to the man, Jiang Xiaobai’s smile felt akin to the Grim Reaper’s!
