Chapter 345: Chapter 346 Li Xiaobai is My Junior Brother

Translator: 549690339

The two young men were furious at the words, their eyes flashing with cold glints, filled with murderous intent.

“What did you two senior brothers say?”

Wu De was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the current situation. Wasn’t Li Xiaobai coming here to seek refuge after causing trouble in Central Province? How had he become the junior brother of his two senior brothers?

But then he remembered that his two senior brothers had joined Devil Cloud Cave halfway through their journeys, and he had vaguely heard that before that, the senior brothers had also come from the Northern Region.

Could it be that this Li Xiaobai had come from the same sect as the two senior brothers?

In an instant, a chill shot up the back of Wu De’s neck. If this were the case, he had walked right into a trap. Although the two senior brothers had treated him well on normal days, the murderous intent they exhibited now was very real.

They truly intended to kill him!

“Hehe, Junior Brother Wu De, sorry, but Li Xiaobai is our junior brother. Since you have a grudge with him, one of you must die, and the one to die can only be you!”

The cold, chilling words came from the youth sitting in a higher position, his eyes emitting a cold glint.

He was completely different from before, as if he had changed into a different person.

“But… but we’re brothers in the same sect. You said you would protect me!”

Wu De was nearly in tears from fear; nothing that had happened recently made any sense to him.

It seemed that ever since getting involved with Li Xiaobai, nothing had gone smoothly for him.

“There are priorities in everything. Brotherhood also varies in closeness. Li Xiaobai is our true junior brother. Compared to him, you’ll just have to be wronged. I’ll erect a monument for you.”

Having said that, the young man slowly raised his hand, and a sense of impending doom swept over Wu De’s heart.

A streak of fleeing light burst forth, and in an instant, Wu De disappeared from the spot, speeding away at high velocity.

“What’s the point of running if you could escape just by running? Then what do we need cultivation level for?”

The young man shook his head, extended his hand towards the void, and with a gentle clasp, the fleeting figure of Wu De in the void suddenly staggered, blood mist bursting from his chest, falling to the ground.

His body twitched a few times, and his eyes gradually lost their vitality, dead beyond any doubt.

“Someone, give Junior Brother Wu a generous burial. As for the sect affairs, I’ll go explain.”

The young man walked out of the tent at a leisurely pace, speaking indifferently.

“Understood!”

The surrounding soldiers swiftly cleaned up the bloodstains and carried away the body of Wu De.

“Fourth Senior Brother, I had no idea our junior brother would come to the frontier. Just a few days ago, Second Senior Sister sent a message saying she ran into our junior brother in Central Province.”

“Hehe, our junior brother is always causing trouble. He must be up to something coming here this time. Let’s go see him. It’s been a long time since I’ve missed the taste of Tangneng First-class!”

“Yes, our junior brother should be in Holy City by now. Let’s head there directly.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

After a brief exchange, the two young men’s figures flickered and they vanished within the camp in an instant.

…

The next morning.

Within Holy City, Li Xiaobai stretched his body, picked up the disheartened Ji Wuqing, and prepared to take a stroll around the city.

Last night, he had again burned resources worth millions of top-grade Spirit Stones, the massive squander of resources making Ji Wuqing’s heart bleed.

All night long, it had shouted itself hoarse, but no one responded to its screams.

Watching one Heaven and Earth Treasure after another inevitably burn, it was almost desperate.

It had seen people squander resources, but never to such an extent.

In its own words: Just give the resources to me directly, I’ll surely become a formidable power if I consume them, and then whomever you want to kill, I will do it. Wouldn’t that be delightful?

Why burn them for Hellfire?

It was simply a heinous waste!

Li Xiaobai scoffed at this. That darn chicken didn’t need any resources at all; it got stronger every time it died. Any resources given to it would be a disgraceful waste.

Moreover, it was quite disobedient, always causing trouble for itself. By comparison, investing in Hellfire seemed like a much better deal.

After listening to Elder Tianji’s words, Li Xiaobai felt an even greater sense of urgency. There were such powerful beings in this world.

The more he knew, the more shocked he became. It seemed that his original thought that advancing to a Half-step Human Immortal would make him invincible was rather shortsighted.

To truly become invincible, he at least had to advance to the next stage.

As of now, he wasn’t even a match for the bigwigs of the Sea Clan or the old bums, let alone the stronger Flesh Mountain.

But there was nothing he could do about his defensive power in a hurry. He could only wait for the Immortal Spirit Qi to appear, which would give him a chance to break through.

For the time being, he could only sincerely work on leveling up all his current skills to prepare for the upcoming battle for Immortal Spirit Qi.

With Ji Wuqing in tow, Li Xiaobai walked out of the room with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Boss!”

Yang Huan had been waiting early on the side. Recently, she had essentially become Li Xiaobai’s personal attendant.

She took care of all his daily needs, which was also Yang Guang’s intention. Young people, after all, speak the same language, and who knows, sparks might fly, all to a greater benefit.

What he didn’t know was that his precious daughter had already concluded that Li Xiaobai had a preference for the companionship of men and had already begun to prepare to cater to his likes.

“Hmm, let’s take a stroll around the city.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and glanced at the handsome young man standing next to Yang Huan with a strange look in his eyes.

This young man had a somewhat delicate appearance, his cultivation level seemed average, but his looks were quite handsome, clearly a well-educated pretty boy.

Li Xiaobai didn’t understand what Yang Huan’s move was about.

Showing off affection?

Throwing dog food in front of me?

Isn’t this courting death?

However, while he was still stunned, Yang Huan interpreted it in a completely different way. She thought the boss had taken a liking to the young man, proving her guess was right.

“Boss, this is Zhang Xiuning, a genius from within our Holy City, specially accompanying us to tour the city,” Yang Huan introduced.

“Hello, senior!”

Zhang Xiuning appeared somewhat shy, nodding and bowing to Li Xiaobai.

“Hmm, not bad, let’s go together.”

Li Xiaobai shook his head, still unclear about what Yang Huan was up to, and slowly walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The delighted Yang Huan immediately pulled the pretty boy to follow behind.

She felt she was incredibly smart, having guessed the boss’s thoughts at once. Surely, the boss would come to like the Holy City even more.

Not to mention anything else, just having Zhang Xiuning around would make Li Xiaobai linger, and if she could win him over for the Holy City, that would be ideal.

Youthful indiscretions are quite normal, after all.

“Boss, where shall we go, to the City Lord’s Mansion?”

Yang Huan inquired.

“No, let’s go to the city gates for a walk,” Li Xiaobai replied.

He had his own plans. Within the Holy City, the only one who put any pressure on him was Sky Blade Song Que.

He too was a bigwig. Killing back and forth on the frontier wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve, and he definitely knew a lot about the Flesh Mountain situation.

A deep exchange with him should yield some gains.

Yang Huan pondered for a moment, “Are you tired, boss? If you are, I can have Brother Xiuning support you as we walk.”

Li Xiaobai: “…”
