Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Divine Thought
“Can you stop airing my dirty laundry in public and give me some dignity?”
“At this rate, everyone’s going to know what color my underwear is.”
Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth.
“They’d know anyway, even if I didn’t say anything,” Gu Wanqing blinked innocently.
What?!
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly looked down, relieved to find his clothes still intact.
But, when he saw the strange expression on Huo Shuyu and the others’ faces, he knew Gu Wanqing wasn’t lying.
They did know!
“How… how did you guys find out?”
Jiang Xiaobai stuttered.
“Your clothes were practically torn to shreds on the back, half of your butt was out, who wouldn’t know what color your underwear was?” Gu Wanqing remarked unabashedly.
Jiang Xiaobai instinctively checked, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Darn it, my reputation is ruined!
Everyone else reddened and kept their heads down, silent. After all, under the strange circumstances, no one had paid much attention to such things.
But now, this had been brought up, making it hard to ignore.
With gritted teeth, Jiang Xiaobai pointed at Gu Wanqing, utterly speechless.
“Wait for it, I’ll get back at you later!”
“Sure, if you can get us out of here, you can do whatever you want.”
Gu Wanqing seemed rather unfazed.
Ignoring her, Jiang Xiaobai flipped his wrist and the Pagoda appeared in his hand.
A flash of golden light, and everyone was pulled into it.
It’s always reliable to have the Pagoda in critical times.
After pulling everyone into the small tower, Jiang Xiaobai relaxed and promptly changed into a new set of clothes.
“Hahaha, Jiang Xiaobai, your butt is so white!”
At that moment, a hearty laughter echoed from above.
Jiang Xiaobai froze. He had completely forgotten that those three fools were still up there!
Since they were all cultivators, they could see clearly even from a distance.
At that moment, he wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
He had never been so embarrassed before, exposed to everyone!
His wife, Ao Yan, hadn’t even seen this much!
But, what could he do about it?
Confront those three fools? Not happening.
Shaking off his anger, Jiang Xiaobai checked their surroundings.
A red mist obscured everything, and all he saw was the bare mountain top.
Sensing carefully, indeed there was a unique force that enveloped each individual here.
This force posed a terrifying pressure on Huo Shuyu and the others.
But Jiang Xiaobai could still manage.
“Does it stimulate one’s potential?”
“So, it means the more gifted you are, the easier it is?”
“Interesting.”
He wondered who devised such a method that could differentiate based on one’s innate potential.
In terms of talent, Jiang Xiaobai had some confidence.
With the Purple Sky Yuan Spirit in hand, this trial shouldn’t be too challenging.
Without paying much mind, Jiang Xiaobai stood tall and continued upwards.
He soon arrived before the three fools.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, the three of them enthusiastically rushed towards him, hugging him tight.
“Hahaha, it’s so good to see you here.”
“Jiang Xiaobai, we had some minor conflicts before, but you don’t know, when we returned to the Xuanming Realm, we didn’t know a soul.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“We were so lonely!”
The three kept pouring out their grievances to Jiang Xiaobai, about how they were ruthlessly trained, how they had no friends in the Black Snake Clan, and so on.
Jiang Xiaobai, uninterested in their complaints, was more curious about their current condition.
“Do you guys feel anything unusual?”
“Yes, we feel a bit heavy, as if carrying a big brother on our backs,” Hu San grumbled.
“Third Brother, what are you saying? Am I heavy to you?” Hu Da glared.
“You are heavy!”
Hu San seriously nodded.
“Oh, so now you dare to diss Big Brother, huh? Looking for a fight?”
Jiang Xiaobai quickly stepped in to mediate.
He found it strange that these three fools seemed to have grown a little smarter after their trip to the Black Snake Clan.
“Okay, enough arguing. Can you guys keep going upwards?”
“Don’t know, little aunt said we shouldn’t go up anymore.”
Hu Da scratched his head: “Just now little aunt saw you guys and said you could help us get out of here, Jiang Xiaobai, you can’t just stand by and watch us die.”
“Alright, alright, just get in and stay still…”
With that, another flash of golden light, and Jiang Xiaobai felt an immediate sense of relief by his ears.
Then he continued his ascent without stopping.
The road to the top was long. The summit appeared close, but without the ability to fly or use spiritual force, he could only walk step by step.
As he walked, Jiang Xiaobai pondered the previous events.
The white-haired old man was probably a Blade Shadow Sect expert.
What did he mean by his words?
What does ‘the Star Sword Sect is not giving up’ mean?
Could there be some secret involved?
“Humph, no matter what the secret is, no one has ever beaten me so badly!”
“Regardless of your strength, I’ll make sure to cut you down when the time comes!”
With an icy snort, Jiang Xiaobai pushed onwards.
He soon arrived at the peak of the mountain.
Expecting a teleportation formation, he was met with a desolate palace instead.
The palace was built out of blood-red crystals, nothing unusual about it.
He could vaguely see a person sitting inside!
Jiang Xiaobai immediately went on guard, the sword Yuanhong appearing in his hand as he cautiously approached the palace.
However, he soon relaxed.
A person was indeed sitting within the palace, but it was just a deceased body, now merely a skeleton, with its right hand still holding a tray and a jade slip.
Glancing around the palace, it was completely empty.
Moved by curiosity, Jiang Xiaobai picked up the jade slip.
The moment he touched the jade slip, the surroundings changed dramatically, it felt like he was in a bloody hell.
Blood-red ripples were everywhere.
“Young friend, reaching here means you possess exceptional talent.”
“A rare genius seen once in thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, worthy of inheriting this old man’s legacy.”
What?!
Jiang Xiaobai looked over and saw a white-haired elder in black robes.
The elder had a melancholic expression, eyes gazing into the distance, apparently lost in thought.
“You are reluctant to inherit my legacy?” The elder asked, suddenly looking at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Wow, are you a ghost or a person?”
“This is a soul shard left by this old man, almost dissipated. I had thought my Blood Spirit Sect would be left without a successor.”
“I didn’t expect the heavens to send you.”
The elder gave a faint smile: “But, this Blood Magic Emperor won’t force you. If you’re reluctant, so be it.”
“Um, is your legacy very significant?”
Jiang Xiaobai quirked an eyebrow.
