Corpses are everywhere, limbs and severed arms, are visible everywhere.
This place resembles a slaughterhouse, it’s unbearably bloody.
“What happened here? Wasn’t Jiang Xiaobai taken away by a group of people and his life under threat?”
“Who am I to ask that, don’t tell me that all this was done by an ordinary person?”
“Impossible, he was merely at the Qi refining stage. If these were ordinary people’s corpses, that would be something, but clearly, they’re all entities of the Nascent Soul Stage!”
In mid -air, a few high-ranking individuals from the Dragon Valley trembled in shock.
The scene below was intense. Signs of a fight were evident everywhere; obviously, a great battle had taken place.
Who did this?
Just as they were expressing their bewilderment, a few more figures rushed to the scene, including Ao Cheng and Liu Xi.
“Where are the people? Where is Jiang Xiaobai?”
Ao Cheng called out eagerly, and then just after he finished speaking, he saw the horrific scene in the dense forest below.
He froze in his tracks, his eyes drifting off in the direction of the few Dragon
Valley experts. “You did this?”
“Young Master, it was not us. It was like this when we arrived.” One of the Dragon Valley experts quickly replied.
Ao Cheng’s face was a mask of disbelief. Liu Xi and his company shared the same reaction.
The group immediately descended to the ground to examine the situation. They found that all of the corpses had sword wounds, the severed parts were strikingly neat and swift.
There were also sword marks around, suggesting that a swordmaster caused all this.
After a moment, Ao Cheng looked at Liu Xi in surprise, “Did Jiang Xiaobai do all this?”
“How would I know? I just felt that guy must have had his own confidence, but he is just at the Qi refining stage!”
Liu Xi had a stunned look on his face.
Ao Cheng’s face turned grim as he began to search the corpses and the surrounding area, but he did not find Jiang Xiaobai.
“Jiang Xiaobai is missing!”
Ao Cheng clenched his teeth, his fists tight. “Find him, alive or dead!”
“Young Master, shall we inform the princess?” A Dragon Valley expert hurriedly suggests.
After all, Jiang Xiaobai was nominally Ao Yan’s consort.
Ao Cheng nodded, “We have no choice but to tell my sister. If I keep this a secret, she would skin me alive.”
“You guys, send someone back to deliver the message, and get people to look for him in the vicinity. We must find Jiang Xiaobai!”
Having dropped this directive, Ao Cheng proceeded with a grim face towards Tianyuan City.
“Ao Cheng, where are you going?” Liu Xi hurriedly asked.
“To Tianyuan City, to get those bastards to help me!”
Ao Cheng spoke through gritted teeth, “This time, Jiang Xiaobai saved us, I must find him. If he is dead, I will make those men pay!”
In this moment, Ao Cheng’s heart was filled with raw humiliation.
Despite being the Young Master of Dragon Valley, he had been driven to this point, where he was being rescued by someone at the Qi refining stage.
The root cause of all this was his lack of power!
Otherwise, he himself could have slaughtered them all.
At this point, the men split up into groups.
In the Dragon Valley, Ao Yan was having a conversation with the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable, talking about matters regarding the Jade Ling Palace. Ao Yan had high expectations about this.
Suddenly, someone burst into the room.
“Princess, something happened to Prince Consort Jiang!”
“What?”
Ao Yan jumped to her feet, her brows furrowed. Jiang Xiaobai’s name conjured in her mind the thought of yet another mishap.
However, when the person related the situation, Ao Yan’s face turned as cold as ice.
She emanated a terrifying aura, the pressure of the peak of the late period of Dividing gods, made people feel terrified.
“Where is Ao Cheng!” Ao Yan said coldly.
“Young Master Ao Cheng has already gone to Tianyuan City to ask for help. At present, we do not know whether Prince Consort Jiang is dead or alive, and we have not found any traces of him yet. More men have been dispatched to look for him!”
As she heard the phrase “we do not know whether he’s dead or alive”, Ao Yan’s heart clenched.
Pain, raw pain!
Even Ao Yan felt a little panicked, an inexplicable panic, as though she had lost someone important.
“Search, dead or alive!”
Leaving those cold words behind, Ao Yan walked out of her courtyard.
Seeing Ao Yan like this, Martial Sea Immortal Venerable frowned, and followed her out.
However, instead of leaving Dragon Valley immediately to search for Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Yan went to see Ao Tianheng, who was currently recovering his strength.
When Ao Yan showed up, Ao Tianheng was somewhat baffled.
“Ao Yan, why are you here?” Ao Tianheng raised an eyebrow.
All he saw was Ao Yan, with a frosty face, and the aura emanating from her caused him to feel somewhat stifled.
“Ao Tianheng, if anything happens to Jiang Xiaobai, I will hold you accountable!”
Having said that, Ao Yan leaped into the air and shot out of Dragon Valley.
Ao Tianheng was left in a stunned silence, followed by a wave of elation.
Seeing Ao Yan like that, it was obvious that Jiang Xiaobai was in trouble. So had his plan worked?
Immediately, Ao Tianheng ceased his practice and rushed back to his mansion to retrieve a communication token and promptly establish contact.
Deep in the mountains, Jiang Xiaobai was walking alongside the burly man.
Just as they were walking, the burly man suddenly paused, a communication token appearing in his hand.
“Young Master Jiang, Ao Tianheng has contacted me…”
The burly man carefully handed the token to Jiang Xiaobai. With a little concentration, Jiang Xiaobai understood the message in the token.
It was simply an inquiry about whether he was dead or alive.
“So Ao Tianheng’s purpose is to kill me, right?” Jiang Xiaobai’s expression was ice cold.
“Yes…” The burly man bowed his head.
“Then you reply to him that I am dead.”
Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai casually handed the token back to the burly man.
Subsequently, he narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out what to do next.
This unexpected attack was fortunate in a sense, as it had led him to understand more about Ao Cangtian. If he could find evidence, Ao Cangtian would be released, and considering the latter’s grudges and history with the ancient family…
Well, his chance of survival would be high. “I’ve replied. Ao Tianheng asks me…asks me…”
Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, “Spit it out.”
“He asked me to bring your head back for report.” The burly man quickly added.
Jiang Xiaobai laughed, “This Ao Tianheng really isn’t afraid of death. He asked you to bring back my head. What, does he want to humiliate Ao Yan?” “We don’t care about him. Keep moving.”
After that, the burly man continued to lead Jiang Xiaobai through the deep mountains.
This area was under a formation, prohibiting flight in the air, otherwise, the scene viewed from above would be significantly different from walking on the ground.
This was enough to show just how careful that person was.
About half an hour later, Jiang Xiaobai saw a flat stretch of land in front of him. There were singing birds and blooming flowers around, even a small waterfall.
In the middle was the most comfortable spot, a small courtyard surrounded by fields of fruits and vegetables.
It was quite a lovely hidden utopia.
“Master, Master. Your disciple is here!”
When they got to the edge of the courtyard, the burly man began to call out..
