Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Escape
This marked the end of matters within the Xuanmen dungeon.
If Jiang Xiaobai had known that following Mo Feng back to Xuanmen would result in such circumstances, he would have adamantly refused.
Although he and Mo Feng did not share particularly strong ties, he had become good friends with Mo Yu!
Now, without Mo Feng by her side, Mo Yu was truly alone in the world.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai and his allies felt an overwhelming amount of pain. No one said a word; they merely glanced at the wreckage one last time.
Then they turned away to leave!
…
On the outskirts of Xuanmen Mountain, a group of people were lying in wait.
Their goal? Stop Jiang Xiaobai and his allies in their tracks as they fled the dungeon. Just blocking their path would suffice. Given their strengths, taking on Jiang Xiaobai was a fool’s dream.
Despite their long and tedious wait, there was no word from the dungeon, which was giving them a headache.
“Has everything wrapped up inside and they forgot about us?”
“How could that be? After all, we are part of the Tianmo Sect’s division.”
“Exactly, even though we can’t be compared to the top fighters of the sect, we are somewhat useful.”
Amid the clamour of discussion, the leader of the group suddenly noticed some movement up ahead. His face instantly lit up with joy.
“Our chance has come! The chance to impress the Demon Lord and prove our worth is here!”
The Tianmo Mountain elder immediately yelled out. Then, the group charged from their hiding place, surrounding Jiang Xiaobai and his allies.
Surprised by the crowd blocking his path, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help feeling slightly taken aback.
He had anticipated a strong force blocking their escape, but never did he expect to encounter familiar faces!
“Well, if it isn’t the elder from Tianmo Mountain? Long time no see. What brings you here?”
Jiang Xiaobai scoffed.
The Tianmo Mountain elder bore a cool expression, starkly different from the first time they had met.
The elder now exuded an air of arrogance.
“Jiang Xiaobai, you have nowhere else to run!”
“Surrender now and I might be able to negotiate a chance for you to serve the Tianmo Sect. Who knows, you might even get to keep your life!”
“Don’t waste my time. As the Elder of Tianmo Mountain, I have plenty of matters to attend to!”
This statement was anything but humble or considerate!
This caused Jiang Xiaobai to narrow his eyes. During their first encounter, this man had been excessively courteous.
“Enough talking. Let’s go.” Ao Yan’s voice echoed from behind.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, without wasting another word, he charged forward.
The elder and the others from Tianmo Mountain were taken aback!
Good grief, their mission was to intercept Jiang Xiaobai, but now he was charging at them!
They didn’t dare block his way!
“Damn it, why haven’t the Tianmo Sect’s elites shown up yet?”
The elder cursed under his breath.
In an instant, Jiang Xiaobai was already upon them, a flash of radiant sword energy emerged from his weapon, instantly killing one of the Tianmo Mountain’s top fighters!
Witnessing this, the elder felt a surge of terror.
They simply couldn’t stop him!
Between his own life and the mission from the sect, his life was understandably more important!
And how come the Tianmo Sect’s elites were nowhere to be seen, especially after Jiang Xiaobai had been around for such a long time?
While he was still wavering, Jiang Xiaobai had already taken down three more fighters.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai approaching, the elder gritted his teeth and steeled himself.
“Jiang Xiaobai, we cross paths because of fate. We will meet again someday!”
With those words, the elder activated a disk in his hand, a blue light appeared beneath their feet.
Teleportation matrix!
Afterwards, the Tianmo Mountain fighters rushed into it and disappeared. The teleportation matrix shattered the moment they left.
Upon witnessing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but twitch his mouth a bit.
These Tianmo Mountain people were really something.
Regardless, he didn’t have time to pay them any mind. For now, his priority was to escape.
…
At Tianmo Sect, Elder Qin Tianwu had already been informed about the Xuanmen branch.
His face was expressionless, his fists tightly clenched.
“Damn you, Jiang Xiaobai. Just where did this monster sprout from!? Despite being attacked by numerous late-stage Crossing Calamity fighters, you still managed to kill all of them!?”
Qin Tianwu knew only the outcome, and not the specifics of what happened.
Regardless, he could determine that Jiang Xiaobai was a formidable adversary.
However, Qin Tianwu wasn’t worried about Jiang Xiaobai continuing to escape. After all, countless forces in the Northern State were currently searching for him.
His concern was the mysterious woman!
Ever since she crippled the Hall of War God, she had disappeared. No one knew who she was or how powerful she truly was.
However, rumours were, the woman was extremely powerful, allegedly at the mid-stage of the Great Achievement realm.
Mind the mid-stage of Great Achievement. The Tianmo Sect only had one person of that level!
If that woman received the news and acted against the Tianmo Sect, then it would truly be…
“Forget it. Maybe that woman’s already dead. Even if you come looking for us, you’re just one person!”
“Don’t act like my Tianmo Sect can’t find any assistance!”
With a cold snort, Qin Tianwu thought for a moment before bringing more than a dozen top fighters together.
“Remember, your task this time is to beat the grass to startle the snake. Spread the word, let others take care of Jiang Xiaobai. Then we can profit from their fight!”
“Yes!”
“Also, go straight to the Tianmo Sect and give Liu Donghua a good thrashing. He let all our top fighters die while his people escaped?”
Qin Tianwu was furious when he thought about how the Tianmo Mountain people had behaved.
They were acting too wild in Northern State and seemed to have forgotten the rules!
Then, the top fighters of the Tianmo Sect set out again. Soon, news began to spread in the Northern State.
Jiang Xiaobai had massacred a Xuanmen branch!
And the reason was because the Young Master of that branch, Mo Feng, had unintentionally offended Jiang Xiaobai. Incensed, Jiang Xiaobai slaughtered thousands of people mercilessly!
As soon as this news spread out, Jiang Xiaobai immediately noticed it, because the system gave him a hint.
“System message: The host’s reputation has begun to change. This system is a selection system, and the reputation section also has a selection section!”
“Due to the sudden change in the host’s reputation, it has triggered malicious reputation.”
“The system is forced to trigger!”
“Choice one: Keep both parts of the reputation intact. The host will enjoy the benefits of both reputations. Warning, if the host’s malicious reputation exceeds the positive reputation, the host will gain the title of ‘Greatly Wicked Man of the Three Thousand Worlds’.”
“Choice two: The host immediately chooses a reputation type to fix, which will never change again in the future. The rewards will be determined by what the host chooses.”
