Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Very Important Matter
 

Jiang Xiaobai stiffened, how did this woman know?

Although it’s true that Gu Ning is his nominal master and has stood up for him a few times, their relationship is really a bit unclear.

After all, right after Gu Ning became his master, she simply took off!

They rarely even saw each other!

If he remembered correctly, this should be their third meeting. What kind of master behaves like this?

He had seen Huseng more often than her!

But in the end, Jiang Xiaobai still respected Gu Ning.

“Master, what are you talking about? How could I possibly mess with the Towards Heaven Sect?” Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head, choosing to play dumb.

Gu Ning rolled her eyes: “White Crane has already told me.”

“Ah? You know him too?”

“Of course, because we come from the same place.”

Gu Ning laughed mockingly.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s confused expression, she simply waved her hand with a light laugh.

“I won’t say more about this. You’re now in the center of the holy city, a good place. Don’t you plan to train properly instead of stirring up trouble?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai touched his nose.

Did he have a choice?

The damn system tasks had already been accepted!

Not only that, he wanted to gain real reputation, otherwise he would be killed sooner or later due to the side effects of his title.

Besides, both Sky Demon Sect and Towards Heaven Sect were his enemies, he definitely need to deal with them.

“Still want to go?”

Gu Ning chuckled, “Just say if you want to go. Go ahead, it’s fine to be a bit reckless again, but come back to train peacefully once this matter is over.”

“Ah? Master, what are you trying to do?”

Jiang Xiaobai was confused, why did Gu Ning, who usually has no contact with him, suddenly insist that he train?

Gu Ning’s expression grew serious.

“There’s something very important that you don’t need to know at present. However, your realm is too low, you have to hurry up and improve.”

“I’ll only give you three months. If you can’t reach the Fusion Stage, you’re done for.”

Gu Ning spoke, the seriousness on her face disappearing, replaced by a mocking smile.

“Oh.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. Despite the myriad of questions in his heart, there was no time to ask them.

Roughly estimating the time, the auction was nearly over, he had to hurry over and settle the matter!

If possible, he would also have to deal with the Sky Demon Sect, as they had caused him quite a bit of trouble. If he didn’t retaliate, it wouldn’t sit right with him.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s thoughts, Gu Ning shook her head slightly. With a wave of her hand, Jiang Xiaobai reappeared in the pawnshop.

It was as if the workers at the pawnshop knew something. They lazily climbed up from the high platform, stretched lazily, and then led Jiang Xiaobai to the teleportation array.

Jiang Xiaobai felt goosebumps, how could the people at the pawnshop know so much?

Regardless, he didn’t bother to ask. He needed to rush to Cliff City immediately to see what was going on!

When the teleportation array finished flickering, Jiang Xiaobai once again appeared in Cliff City, just in time to meet White Crane.

“Job’s done, now it’s up to you. Be quick. Just a heads up, the goods were taken by the Towards Heaven Sect, lots of strong figures, be careful.”

White Crane looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a light smile.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly nodded, without any more words. Even if he has some questions in his mind, they will have to wait until he returns!

He must complete the task he has chosen this time. He must get those fifty drops of divine soul liquid. Whether he can quickly refine his divine soul and enhance his power depends on this time!

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai rushed out of the pawnshop and, following White Crane’s tip, hurried towards the holy city.

…

Inside a dense forest, a group of people were fleeing rapidly, they were from the Towards Heaven Sect.

There were more than thirty people in total, all of them highly powerful, with even two Great Achievement beginners among them!

Their only goal this time was to bring the treasure back to the Towards Heaven Sect!

Only they knew how many dangers they had encountered along the way.

Who knew how many people were lurking in the shadows behind them, aiming for the later half of the power method held in hands of the people from the Towards Heaven Sect!

Whoever could obtain this power method could dramatically enhance their strength!

This terrifying increase was not something ordinary people could understand!

Everyone should know that after reaching the later stage of crossing the tribulation, even the tiniest difference could be fatal, let alone enhancing your spiritual power through power methods!

At this moment, the people of Towards Heaven Sect were like a piece of gold radiating golden light, extraordinarily dazzling under everyone’s gaze!

The experts from Towards Heaven Sect also knew this. Their only option was to try to escape.

Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be able to!

Cliff City is very close to Holy City, if they depart from there to Holy City area, a day should suffice.

However, to reach Towards Heaven Sect safely, a day is definitely not enough!

As expected, less than half an hour after they obtained the power method from the auction and then rushed toward the direction of the holy city, someone made the move!

Bang!

A cloud of smoke popped out in front of the people from Towards Heaven Sect. Everyone instantly covered their mouths and noses, wrapping themselves in spiritual power to prevent the smoke from seeping in.

The smoke was poisonous, and very toxic at that!

“Push through, don’t slow down!”

The leader, a Great Achievement beginner, snorted coldly. He then surprisingly stood still on the spot, covering the others as they charged forward.

Just at that moment, dreadful sword auras suddenly erupted around them, all aimed at the people of Towards Heaven Sect.

Seeing this, the face of the leading Great Achievement beginner turned green.

There had been an ambush here all along!

Splat! Splat!

Due to the surprise attack and the smoke acting as a cover, many of the Towards Heaven Sect people didn’t even have the time to react before they were killed on the spot!

The group of thirty people was reduced by seven or eight simply as a result of this one ambush!

“Damn it, dare to lay a trap for my Towards Heaven Sect like this, you are truly bold!”

The Great Achievement beginner gritted his teeth and roared, his spiritual power bursting forth like a mountain collapsing, making the ground shake and the sky seem to crumble and distort!

Boom!

In the surrounding area, the sounds of explosions rang out. At the same time, more than a dozen figures appeared from the shadows.

These people were all dressed in black and masked, holding cold long swords in their hands. They stabbed towards the people of Towards Heaven Sect without hesitation.

“Petty tricks, all of you can go to hell!”

The Great Achievement beginner snorted coldly, rotating his wrist, the sleeves billowing, majestic spiritual power like a sea violently exploded.

Instantly, all the people who came to ambush were blasted away!

However, it appeared that the ambushers had expected this. Once blocked, they didn’t continue to attack; instead, they scattered and fled, disappearing quickly from everyone’s sight.

For a moment, the expert from Towards Heaven Sect had a green face.

It was clear that there would be many such ambushes and assassinations along the way.
