“You dare, try to kill me?”

An Ren, whose throat was pressed against Jiang Xiaobai’s sword, sneered repeatedly: “I really want to see if you can kill me and then get away alive.”

“Dammit, you’re just a dog, why do you interrupt when I talk to your master?”

Jiang Xiaobai asked coldly: “Do you think your master would risk his life for you?”

At these words, that man’s face went instantly red, entirely out of anger.

But he didn’t dare to retort.

Because it was true, although Jiang Xiaobai’s power was limited, he had demonstrated some skill in their previous encounters.

Most importantly, Xiao Yuwei thought highly of Jiang Xiaobai.

“Enough, we’re all on the same side, there’s no need for this.”

After sensing Jiang Xiaobai’s anger, Xiao Yuwei gave the man a fierce glare, and forcibly pulled Jiang Xiaobai’s sword out of his hand.

“Where are the items?”

Thud!

The gems of more than ten purple stone beasts were thrown on the ground by Jiang Xiaobai. Seeing that there were only about ten, Xiao Yuwei squinted her eyes.

“Jiang Bai, do you think I really need you?”

“This is not like you, let me down at a crucial moment, it could be fatal.”

A cold voice echoed.

But Jiang Xiaobai looked indifferent: “I killed that many, what can you do?”

“If you want me to be your dog, to risk my life to pave the way for you, do you think I’m a fool?”

“It seems that you have forgotten my identity and your current situation.”

Xiao Yuwei spoke coldly. As her words followed, many experts around her approached.

For a moment, the air between them became incredibly tense.

Just then, Jiang Xiaobai spread open his palm, revealing a yellow flower.

Seeing it, Xiao Yuwei almost dropped her eyes.

“You… Is this the Ghost Mother Flower? How did you find it?”

Xiao Yuwei was incredibly shocked.

Everyone knew that finding the Ghost Mother Flower in this place required some serious luck.

If one blindly looks for it without luck, it’s already quite lucky not to get lost in the deadly swamp or get eaten by a Ghost Crocodile.

If someone intends to find the Ghost Mother Flower regardless of everything else, it would usually take them no less than half a month.

At this moment, Xiao Yuwei looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if she had seen a ghost.

“How did I find it? Of course, I was lucky, do you think you gave it to me?” Jiang Xiaobai said nonchalantly.

“Humph, mind your attitude!”

An old man in the initial stages of Dividing the gods rebuked. Jiang Xiaobai immediately looked at him.

Gazing upon Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes, the old man felt his body stiffen and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet into his brain.

“What do you want?” the old man hastily asked.

Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly, giving the old man a deep look before turning back to Xiao Yuwei.

“One billion high-quality spirit stones, then it’s yours.”

“No way, fifty million high-quality spirit stones,” Xiao Yuwei immediately replied.

“Then forget it.”

As Jiang Xiaobai was about to put away the Ghost Mother Flower, Xiao Yuwei gritted her teeth with anger.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you, are you happy now!”

“Are you money blinded now or what?”

“Stop blabbering, give me the money and get out of here.” Jiang Xiaobai said coldly.

After giving Jiang Xiaobai a murderous glare, Xiao Yuwei irritably threw him a storage ring, and the Ghost Mother Flower was tossed back at her.

“Jiang Bai, you’re mad!”

Xiao Yuwei looked terrified, promptly used her spiritual power to envelop the Ghost Mother Flower in mid-air, then carefully held it in her hands.

“If anything had gone wrong just now, I would have made sure you died!” Xiao Yuwei fixed her gaze on Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai only gave her a glance, without uttering a word.

All of this was a test.

Through this test, Jiang Xiaobai had understood Xiao Yuwei’s thoughts towards him, nothing more than an insignificant presence.

If she really valued him, she would not have let her men act so recklessly, and she wouldn’t have said those words.

Ultimately, people always have their interests.

Luckily, Jiang Xiaobai had no intention of being this woman’s dog or he might’ve ended up being sold without even knowing it.

From these details, he could infer that Xiao Yuwei was likely to use him as cannon fodder in the Mad Demon Secret Land.

If he could survive, that would naturally prove his strength and he could become her reliable assistant.

If he died, then there would be no loss at all.

“The royal descendants are indeed good at calculating.” Jiang Xiaobai sneered to himself.

After retrieving the Ghost Mother Flower, Xiao Yuwei managed to suppress her excitement with a great deal of effort.

Now she had the Ghost Mother Flower, she had no doubt she would be first!

Considering the previous achievements, Xiao Yuwei was incredibly excited. As long as there were no accidents in the final assessment of the Mad Demon Secret Land, she would definitely rank in the top three among all descendants.

This would make her much closer to her desired position!

In a good mood, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai in a much better light.

“Let’s go. Now that we have the items, let’s head to the Mad Demon Secret Land.”

“Is the next area the entrance to the Mad Demon Secret Land?” Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.

“Yes, let’s go.”

The group began to cross the deadly swamp.

Going all out, they soon saw a light in the distance.

Was this the way out?

But when they arrived, Jiang Xiaobai realized he was wrong. It wasn’t a tunnel leading out of the subterranean world, that light was from a grand hall.

The hall was enormous, spacious enough to fit thousands of people.

The bright lamps lit up every corner. Outside of the door stood dozens of powerful figures representing various factions, all in the later stages of Dividing the gods.

They had formed an alliance. These powerhouses were stationed here for the duration of the opening of the Mad Demon Secret Land.

“Her Highness, the Seventeenth Princess!”

As soon as they saw Xiao Yuwei, a powerful figure of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty came forward.

Xiao Yuwei nodded, looking towards the palace in the distance where many people were already sitting cross-legged, recovering their strength.

“Has anyone else from the Dynasty arrived?”

“Report to your Highness, you are the first to arrive.”

The man spoke before reaching out his hand to Xiao Yuwei.

Xiao Yuwei was about to hand over a storage ring when a group of people suddenly appeared from behind.

It was Xiao Wuwei and his entourage.

Seeing this guy, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes filled with hatred.

You dare to chase and kill me?

Jiang Xiaobai always paid back what he owed, but in the previous situation, there was no need to fight to the death. Wasn’t it better to pick up money?

Once Xiao Wuwei appeared, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Yuwei with a mocking smile.

“Seventeenth Sister, do you think you have an absolute chance of winning this round?” Xiao Wuwei sneered.

“What do you mean by that, Third Brother?” asked Xiao Yuwei nonchalantly.

“Humph, you left us behind and ran off on your own. We haven’t settled that yet!”

“I didn’t expect that, Seventeenth Sister, you found a good helper this time.”
