Chapter 109 - 109: 109: I’ve Prepared a Royal Flush for You
The name Jiang Xiaobai once again astounded them.
The first shock was when Jiang Xiaobai, a mere mortal, dared to vent his anger at many guests at the wedding.
The second shock came today, when Jiang Xiaobai risked his life to rescue Ao Cheng and his men, resulting in Ao Yan’s fury and the mobilization of almost all available forces to find Jiang Xiaobai.
And now, the third shock.
Jiang Xiaobai had become a disciple of the Elder Ao!
Everyone knew that those favored by the Elder Ao were extraordinary existences!
Ao Yuanwu, the current elder of Dragon Valley.
Ao Cangtian, the most preternatural genius in Dragon Valley back in his days.
Thinking of this, everyone was overwhelmed by shock.
Even Ao Yan, who knew the inside story, stood still in astonishment. At first, she thought Elder Ao was just making an empty promise, but now, he wasn’t hesitating to confront Ao Zheng for Jiang Xiaobai!
Everyone fell silent.
It was only after Elder Ao had completely left that Ao Zheng recovered, slowly rising from the ground.
Blood stained the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and rage.
Ao Zheng wanted to strangle Jiang Xiaobai himself, but with the elder having stepped in now, who would dare make a move?
Killing Jiang Xiaobai would be easy, but no one could bear the consequences of doing so.
After a moment of shock, Ao Zheng snorted coldly and strode towards Dragon Valley.
This time, neither Ao Wan nor Ao Zhenbei stopped him. They couldn’t.
For a moment, everyone felt like a dark cloud had overshadowed their hearts.
The skies of Dragon Valley were about to change.
Ao Zheng’s return was definitely the beginning of a declaration of war against Ao Yuanwu’s lineage.
Those who were close to Ao Yuanwu’s lineage, without a clear understanding of the situation, didn’t dare to make any further moves.
The struggle between the two sides, regardless of who lost or won, would bring about enormous changes.
Jiang Xiaobai also learned of this news from Ao Yan and his brow furrowed.
He felt things were likely to go awry.
In Jiang Xiaobai’s original plan, the situation of Elder Ao’s people going to explore the cave this time was supposed to cause a significant blow to Ao Zhantian’s lineage.
Who would have thought that instead of dealing a blow, they brought back a trump card.
Ao Zheng, a figure of the same era as Ao Yuanwu
Both were the elder of Dragon Valley.
This was no longer a calculation he could partake in. To continue participating would not only make all his plans go down the drain, but it’s highly likely that he would be killed before the ancient tribe even arrived.
That lineage’s people have always wanted to kill him because his existence disrupted their plans with the ancient tribe.
Now that Ao Zheng was out, who knows what strange things could happen next.
Perhaps Ao Tianheng, backed by some powerful figure, might dare to openly harm him in Dragon Valley.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai in this state, Ao Yan said indifferently. “Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with you. Their target is my grandpa.” “I promised to protect your life, and I will keep my word.”
Upon leaving such words, Ao Yan walked out of the room, apparently to do something else.
That night, Jiang Xiaobai was sleepless.
Not just him, many people in Dragon Valley were in the same state.
Everyone thought the situation was precarious enough, but the following morning, Jiang Xiaobai received another piece of bad news.
His plan to stall the ancient tribe was no longer effective.
The last auction house had contacted him to inform him that after learning the news in advance, the ancient people directly arrived over to buy the Qi Cleansing Pill at a fair price.
This directly reduced the delay by two days.
Meaning, after another day, the ancient tribe would reach Dragon Valley!
“The biggest trouble has finally arrived.”
Jiang Xiaobai stood in the courtyard with a solemn expression, feeling a sense of suffocation.
The pressure from the ancient tribe was overwhelming.
This was a force that even Dragon Valley had to be wary of.
“No, I can’t continue to be passive. If nothing works, I’ll pull out my trump card!”
Jiang Xiaobai decided in his heart that he would find Ao Cangtian today.
No matter what, he would communicate with this big shot.
So, Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly set off. As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the hill, he saw Ao Cheng, Liu Xi, Kong Yuhuai, and others approaching him.
“Jiang Xiaobai, the situation isn’t good now. It’s safer for you to stay put, I’m afraid Ao Tianheng might harm you now that his ancestral power is backing him.”
Ao Cheng expressed his worry as soon as he approached him.
Jiang Xiaobai, however, just chuckled and shook his head. “No worries. Unless something unexpected happens, the ancient tribe will reach Dragon Valley tomorrow.”
“What, how did you find out?” Ao Cheng exclaimed.
“Don’t worry about that, just be careful these next two days.”
Ao Cheng nodded incessantly: “I understand. Don’t worry, Dragon Valley won’t abandon you now. You’re already Elder Ao’s disciple. If the ancient tribe dares to come after you, Elder Ao will definitely protect you.”
Jiang Xiaobai just nodded.
After saying a few more words to them, Jiang Xiaobai rushed off towards the Dragon Valley prison.
The prison in Dragon Valley was heavily guarded. Many powerful men were guarding secretly and openly. When Jiang Xiaobai appeared, one of the Dragon Valley powerhouses appeared and blocked his path.
“What are you doing here?” the man huffed.
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly took out Ao Yan’s token: “I have something in the prison. This is Ao Yan’s order.”
The man looked suspicious, but this was indeed Ao Yan’s token, so he had no choice but to let Jiang Xiaobai in.
As he stood at the entrance of the prison, the man added, “There are a lot of dangerous characters incarcerated in the prison. They wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to kill you. It’d be advisable for you to let a few Dragon Guards accompany you.”
Jiang Xiaobai casually waved his hand, “No need, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?”
The man looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he were looking at a fool.
But seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was insistent, he didn’t bother. He had already said what he needed to. It wasn’t his concern if Jiang Xiaobai insisted on courting death.
Jiang Xiaobai then entered the prison alone.
This visit was different from the last. The atmosphere was noticeably different.
The sight that met his eyes was a dark corridor, with sealed prison cells on both sides. At the entrance of each cell was a sign divided into black and white.
A black sign indicated that someone was held inside, while a white sign marked an empty cell.
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised to see that at least ninety percent of the cells carried black signs.
“Strange, why are these people locked up in Dragon Valley? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just kill them?”
Thinking this, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the gate of a prison cell.
This was the deepest part of the prison, where Ao Cangtian was held.
With a squeak,
Jiang Xiaobai pushed open the door, walked straight in, and even closed the door behind him.
The cell was still dark and suffocating. As he entered, a pair of bright red eyes lit up from the corner..
