Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Turmoil in Northern State
The White Crane lazily opened his squinting eyes and stood up, resting his hands on the counter in a high and mighty posture, looking down at the incoming person.
“Do you know the rules?”
“I do. It’s said that one can exchange anything here, as long as an appropriate price is paid.”
Jian Wuhui snorted coldly, “It’s just a trace of a person, I can afford that price.”
“Are you sure you can afford it,”
The White Crane chuckled softly.
At these words, the eyebrows of Jian Wuhui and the other Heavenly Sword Sect disciples furrowed, and they exchanged glances, feeling the man in front of them meant trouble.
“Does the pawnshop talk this much? Just tell me the price.”
One of the Heavenly Sword Sect elders behind Jian Wuhui said indifferently, revealing his aura as a prime at the phase of crossing calamity.
Upon hearing this, the White Crane nodded slightly.
“His whereabouts are not cheap, but I advise you not to look for him.”
“The price… in consideration of the strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I’ll give you a discount, one thousand world stones.”
At these words, Jian Wuhui and the others exploded with anger.
“Bullshit, the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaobai can’t be worth so much!”
Jian Wuhui immediately pointed at the youth with white hair and roared.
But soon as he finished saying this, the others from the Heavenly Sword Sect were stricken with fear.
“Shut up!”
The elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect also roared and rebuked, but it was too late.
The youth with white hair erupted with a terrifying aura.
“My pawnshop isn’t a place where anyone can run wild.”
Bang!
A terrifying force exploded out, and instantly the several people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were all blown away, fiercely hitting the ground outside.
Even the elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect was awestruck, looking at the youth with white hair in disbelief.
He was a prime at the phase of crossing calamity, but he hadn’t even been able to resist and had been blown away?
“Get lost. If you can’t afford the price, don’t be so arrogant.”
The youth with white hair laughed coldly, waved his hand, and the several people were instantly blown away by the force of the spiritual wind.
By the time Jian Wuhui and the others came to their senses, they found themselves tens of thousands of miles away!
“Damn it, why is this happening? Why is the trace of a mere Jiang Xiaobai so expensive? Is the pawnshop deliberately scamming us?”
“A thousand world stones, are they crazy? Each of these stones is a priceless treasure, yet they’re asking for a thousand! Not even a robber would rob someone like that!”
Jian Wuhui sat on the ground, yelling furiously.
The elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect also stood up and shook his head slightly.
“All right, the pawnshop wouldn’t cheat you. If you want to get something from them, you have to pay the corresponding price!”
The elder narrowed his eyes, “It’s strange, how could Jiang Xiaobai be worth that much?”
“Elder, what do we now?”
Jian Wuhui stood up gritting his teeth, “There must be something wrong with Jiang Xiaobai! He’s even got our Heavenly Sword Sect’s sword techniques, he’s a danger and must not be left alive!”
“I know.”
The elder waved his hand and sighed, “Well, let’s go with the people from the Void Gate to Dragon Valley, the An Family is useless now, we can only find opportunities in Dragon Valley.”
Having said this, he immediately led the few people away in the direction of Dragon Valley.
…
Inside the branch of the Profound Gate in Qingxuan City, Mo Feng was sitting in a hall.
There were three young men and women beside him, and sitting up high was the elder with the highest authority in the branch, Li Licheng.
“This time, you all did well, especially Mo Feng is to be commended. His strength is the lowest among you four, but he gained the most!”
“Thus, in this first round of tests, Mo Feng comes first!”
Li Licheng chuckled.
The four below all nodded, not daring to say a word.
Mo Feng did not become cocky because of the praise but remained calm and indifferent.
“You have three days to rest. After that will be the battles between the four of you. Go back and prepare well. Mo Feng, stay.”
Mo Feng stayed where he was, while the other three left one after another. But before they left, they looked at Mo Feng with a clouded gaze.
After leaving the hall, the only boy among the three snorted.
“Lucky bastard. With his strength at the stage of Dividing the Gods, how could he get so many resources?”
“Enough, luck is also a part of strength. Instead of complaining, it’s better to practice well.”
“That Mo Feng isn’t simple. His strength wasn’t like this a month ago. Such a rapid enhancement shows his remarkable talent.”
The three of them discussed for a while. Despite their calm conversation, it was clear that none of them held a good impression of Mo Feng.
What they didn’t know was that their conversation had been overheard by a passing disciple.
Feng He pretended to be ignorant and continued down the corridor, but there was a smirk on his face.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Profound Gate, Li Licheng encouraged Mo Feng and gave him quite a few reward resources after leaving him behind.
Once he had said everything, Li Licheng said to Mo Feng.
“I heard that you brought a few people back this time. Are they disciples of the Profound Gate from outside?”
Mo Feng looked unchanged, “Reporting to elder, they are my sister and her friends. They all have a deep hatred for the ancient tribe, and I trust my sister!”
At these words, Li Licheng was a bit surprised.
He naturally knew that Mo Feng has always been thinking about his sister, otherwise, he wouldn’t have joined the Profound Gate.
But wasn’t that woman killed by the ancient tribe?
“That’s very good. A reunion of siblings is a blessing. Don’t overthink it, I naturally trust that you wouldn’t harm the interests of the Profound Gate.”
Li Licheng chuckled, “Prepare for the upcoming battles. Even if you lose this time, the position of the young master of this branch is still yours.”
“Go ahead.”
Mo Feng nodded, then left.
But Li Licheng squinted his eyes, a cold smile on his face.
“It seems that this kid has indeed done me a great favor.”
Li Licheng immediately took out a token and sent out a message.
In the holy city, a middle-aged man in the Heavenly Demon Sect was cultivating with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and a token appeared in his hand.
“Jiang Xiaobai is at the branch of the Profound Gate? Interesting!”
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, then chuckled coldly. He immediately stood up and called many people.
“Remember, once you go to the Northern State, don’t let your identity as members of the Heavenly Demon Sect be exposed. Also, contact the people at the Heavenly Demon Mountain to get ready to help in capturing Jiang Xiaobai.”
“We’ve supported them for so many years, we can’t let that go to waste.”
“Yes, we’ll obey!”
The people bowed respectfully, then quickly disappeared.
The middle-aged man looked at the direction where everyone had vanished, the corners of his mouth lifted in a smile.
“Heaven is helping the Heavenly Demon Sect. The altar appears, and the treasure is about to fall into our hands. This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for the Heavenly Demon Sect to march into the central region!”
