Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Altar
 

Jiang Xiaobai thought of this plan instantly when he realized the impact of the secret altar on the Heavenly Demon Sect!

The Heavenly Demon Sect must be eradicated!

Those are the prime culprits!

One could say that previously the Heavenly Demon Sect was operating in the shadows, with Jiang Xiaobai and the others in plain sight, making things difficult.

But now, the positions of the two have completely switched!

Once the experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect discover that Jiang Xiaobai and the others have gone to the altar, they will definitely come. This is a critical matter.

After hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s plan, everyone expressed unison approval.

“Well done Jiang Xiaobai, I now understand why you haven’t been knocked off despite rushing around on your own. You have a smart head, worthy of being my brother from Ao Cheng!”

Ao Cheng laughed out loud.

Jiang Xiaobai merely rolled his eyes without uttering a word, leading everyone towards the direction of the altar.

…

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Demon Mountain’s main stronghold, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s top fighters were huddled together and discussing something with two corpses nearby.

They were Liu Donghua and Yang Zhenting.

As Jiang Xiaobai had guessed, not only did these two incompetents fail in their task, they also revealed the most crucial secret of the Heavenly Demon Sect to Jiang Xiaobai; shouldn’t they be the ones to die?

After deliberating among themselves, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s fighters unanimously decided to head to the altar.

“Damn it, that mixed-breed Jiang Xiaobai is truly a scoundrel to pull off a stunt like this!”

“Enough with the chatter; let’s head there quickly. If we’re late and the altar is destroyed, the Demon Lord’s wrath will descend upon us all!”

“Indeed, the Demon Lord is currently in seclusion and is unaware of what’s happening here. Otherwise, he would surely be thunderous.”

After a wave of discussion, they hurried towards the altar and also started circulating another piece of news.

That Jiang Xiaobai had destroyed the Heavenly Demon Mountain due to a previous dispute!

They justified this action using the same reasons as when the Xuanmen branch was slaughtered.

In an instant, the matter became an issue of great concern!

The uproar in the Northern State arose once again!

The coalition against Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t sit still!

“Damn that Jiang Xiaobai; he’s no longer behaving like a human being!”

“If even Heavenly Demon Mountain was destroyed, what else is Jiang Xiaobai incapable of doing?”

“In my view, we should dig three feet into the ground if we have to, to find Jiang Xiaobai. He must be in the vicinity of the Heavenly Demon Mountain, we should take action immediately, no more hesitation!”

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

Jiang Xiaobai is nothing but a malignant tumor, a toxin, any ordinary force that comes into contact with him will perish!

What an outrageously daring lunatic!

At that point, members of the coalition set out immediately, heading to that region to desperately search for Jiang Xiaobai.

The instigators behind the coalition informed many Saint City forces of the situation.

And the people of Saint City, who had already returned to Northern State, saw Jian Wuhui holding a small figure.

Jian Wuhui had a grim expression on his face.

“Jiang Xiaobai, let’s see where you can hide now!”

…

In the Northern State, close to the Saint City, Jiang Xiaobai and the others stood dumbfounded in front of a gigantic structure half-buried under dust and sand.

The building in front of them was just too big!

It was a completely man-made altar, this size was comparable to a mountain range. It housed immense space but the main entrance was firmly sealed and they could not enter using any means.

“How do we destroy this thing?”

Ao Yan mumbled as he looked at the altar.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was at a loss.

He had already tried using his full force with the Pagoda, but was unable to shake the altar even a little bit.

It was genuinely baffling; who in their right mind would build such a gargantuan altar? What would they sacrifice, a ghost or a god?

“Congratulations to the host on triggering a choice!”

“Choice one: Enter the altar within one hour and obtain fragments of the crystal at the altar’s center. Reward: 10,000 immortal stones!”

“Choice two: Completely activate the altar using the blood of a supreme divine beast. Reward: 10 world stones for the host.”

“Reminder, if the host activates the altar, the consequences will be extremely serious. Please consider carefully.”

Upon hearing the voice in his head, Jiang Xiaobai was struck dumb.

What kind of choices are these!

Enter the altar within an hour, and activate the altar?

Are you kidding me? After half a day of search, they only found one possible entrance, but that entrance was sealed tightly and could not be broken open.

They couldn’t even enter let alone activate the altar!

“System, do these choice tasks have a time limit or penalty?”

“The time limit is one hour. The penalty is something the host will not want to know.”

Upon hearing the system’s voice, Jiang Xiaobai shivered.

He suddenly remembered that one of the system’s previous punishments was a hundred years of impotence…

“Let’s wait and see. I reckon the Heavenly Demon Sect’s experts will be here shortly.”

Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself. Then, he put everyone inside the Pagoda, after which he looked at his shoulder.

There, Goudan was sleeping soundly.

In these past days, no matter where they went, Goudan had always followed Jiang Xiaobai, not contributing anything, and what’s more, he seemed to have recently acquired an incredible appetite — always sleeping or eating!

And he only ate the best, top-tier spirit beasts meant to be treasured, and in terrifying quantities!

But he was just the size of a palm!

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Xiaobai woke Goudan by flicking its head.

“Wake up, dog.”

Goudan sleepily opened his eyes, yawned at Jiang Xiaobai, his little tongue looked very cute.

His eyes, filled with confusion.

“It’s time for sleeping pills.”

Jiang Xiaobai said jokingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as though Goudan had understood him, and gave Jiang Xiaobai a side-eye!

The sight amused Jiang Xiaobai.

Just as he was about to place Goudan inside the Pagoda and use earth hand signs to bury himself in the desert, Goudan turned around and noticed the waiting altar.

“Woof woof!”

A clear little dog bark echoed out; Goudan was unusually excited, moving back and forth on Jiang XiaoBai’s shoulder, his four paws pacing restlessly.

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes: “Do you know what this is?”

“Woof!”

“Er… you may understand what I am saying, but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”

“Never mind, get in first. We can talk about this after everything is done.”

Jiang Xiaobai took Goudan and placed him into the Pagoda, then he used an earth hand sign and submerged himself beneath the desert surface, awaiting the arrival of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s members.

Sure enough, a group of more than ten people arrived soon. Among them were five at the peak of crossing the calamity period, with the rest all in the late stage of crossing the calamity period.

Furthermore, Jiang Xiaobai could plainly sense that the strengths of these individuals were significantly greater than those who had previously come to the Xuanmen branch!

Indeed, the farther along the cultivation stage, even a slight difference could bring about a world of difference!

Their aura and momentum were completely different!

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was contemplating when to launch an attack, the system’s voice echoed again.

“Congratulations to the host on triggering the once-in-three-days forced selection!”
