Chapter 170 - 170: 170: Escaping by the Skin of One’s Teeth
Jiang Xiaobai was aware of this, but the speed at which the formation opened and closed was so fast, he couldn’t react in time even if he noticed it.
However, this raised a sense of danger in him.
“Could it be that Yuwen Tiancheng has gone to get reinforcements?” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes.
Although he was confident in his “Divine Concealment” technique, he knew that he wasn’t invincible and various methods could also find him.
Take for example, the so-called divine war, a small and seemingly useless divination coin directly led to Zhao Gongming losing a precious treasure, seriously injuring his vitality, and he was eventually killed.
Not all methods are invincible, and treasures can be useless sometimes.
Strength must come from oneself!
After such thoughts, Jiang Xiaobai realized that he really needed to think of a solution now. If Yuwen Tiancheng were to bring back a weapon that could expose him.
Good grief, it would be a grand performance akin to a fish in a barrel, his brain could be directly smashed into dog brains then.
After a long thought, Jiang Xiaobai concluded that the most reliable option was to wait at the place where the formation had just been opened. As soon as it reopened, he would escape immediately.
This plan seemed to be the most foolproof, and also the highest chance option.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately went to the front gate of the city lord mansion, and found a place to wait and concentrate. As soon as the formation opened again, he would dash out.
Before long, Jiang Xiaobai found his opportunity.
A guard from the city lord mansion quickly appeared at the door, followed by an old man, Liu Dongsheng, and Gu.
“Lord Wei, Master Liu, the culprit is likely lurking in the city lord mansion, so only a small gap will be opened in the formation, please understand.” said the guard.
At this, everyone nodded without objection.
The guard then used a jade symbol to open a gap in the formation, enough for one person to pass through, and was the first to drill in.
At the same time, Jiang Xiaobai, who had been waiting on the side, seized the opportunity and rushed towards the small opening in the formation with all his strength.
Hum, hum, hum-
Just when Wei Guang entered the city lord mansion, he felt something like the sound of a mosquito flying beside his ear. When he was bewildered, the guard in front started urging him on, so he disregarded it and hurriedly went in.
After Liu Dongsheng and the others entered, the guard immediately closed the formation.
What they didn’t know was that Jiang Xiaobai had already escaped. The moment he left the city lord mansion, Jiang Xiaobai went full throttle and escaped towards the outside of Four Seas City.
After escaping Four Seas City, he directly transformed back and charged into the sky without looking back, fleeing at high speed.
During this time, he would often use earth escape to travel a certain distance, then change direction and continue fleeing.
After running for more than half an hour, not knowing how far he had run, he finally stopped by a pool.
He directly took out the Pagoda and released Qin Zheng and others. Just activating it this once, the Pagoda almost completely depleted his spiritual energy.
As a result, as soon as Qin Guang and others came out from the tower, they saw Jiang Xiaobai lying on the ground twitching, somewhat unconscious.
“Jiang Bai, what’s the matter with you!”
Qin Nianxue was extremely alarmed, and hurriedly rushed to Jiang Xiaobai’s side. Seeing his miserable state, she could not hold back her tears and they streamed down.
Don’t think that this lass is a tomboy in daily life, but a tomboy responds to true emotions.
In Qin Nianxue’s view, Jiang Xiaobai being so miserable was due to him rescuing them, and for a time, she felt extremely guilty.
“Don’t… don’t press on… I… can’t breathe…”
Jiang Xiaobai managed to croak out, and only then did Qin Nianxue realize that she was actually pressing down on his chest.
Qin Zheng was more experienced, and quickly realized that Jiang Xiaobai was like this because he had massively depleted his spiritual power. He immediately took out a bottle of medicinal pills and stuffed them into his mouth like feeding a pig.
Jiang Xiaobai almost choked to death, but after the pills entered his mouth, his spiritual power recovered quickly. In less than half a minute, he had regained some strength.
“Mr. Jiang, we really can’t thank you enough for this time. Without you, we really wouldn’t have known what to do.”
Qin Zheng was extremely grateful: “We really can’t repay this kindness.”
“Master Qin, there’s no need to be polite with me. What’s most important now is, your plans from now on.”
Jiang Xiaobai stuffed medicinal pills into his mouth as he spoke: “Yuwen Tiancheng will soon discover your absence. How will you deal with his frantic hunt?”
“Don’t worry about that, I’ve already contacted my sect. After learning the real situation, they said they would help our Qin family.” Qin Nianxue hurriedly said.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded: “That’s good, then let’s part ways here. Yuwen Tiancheng is probably already on his way to capture me. If we continue to stay together, it will cause big trouble.”
“Why don’t you come with us to Sword Sea Sect, Mr. Jiang?” Qin Zheng said:
“Being alone is not a solution.”
“Don’t worry, I have ways to escape.”
Jiang Xiaobai quickly waved his hands:” Moreover, I’m just an outsider, the
Sword Sea Sect can’t protect me forever.”
“I’d rather be alone than live under someone else’s roof.’
As soon as he said this, everyone in the Qin family fell silent.
Qin Nianxue gazed at Jiang Xiaobai with tearful eyes. In her lifetime, she had seen many excellent people, but Jiang Xiaobai was the only one who had entered her heart.
“Jiang Bai, you..
“All right, no need to say more, I need to hit the road, and you should leave quickly too. Once Yuwen Tiancheng catches up, none of us will be able to get away.” Jiang Xiaobai interrupted Qin Nianxue, got up and moved around to make sure he had recovered, and prepared to leave quickly.
“If I can escape this time, I may go back to the Sword Sea Sect in the future to find you guys.”
Jiang Xiaobai flew up to the sky and after saying the words to Qin Zheng and others, he immediately took off.
Watching his disappearing figure, Qin Zheng and his daughter Qin Nianxue snapped back to reality after a long time.
“Dad, do you think Jiang Bai can escape this disaster?” Qin Nianxue murmured.
Qin Zheng looked in the direction Jiang Xiaobai had left, and lightly smiled, “This guy is full of mysteries, perhaps, he really could escape this disaster.”
“We should also leave quickly and head to the Sword Sea Sect as soon as possible so that Yuwen Tiancheng doesn’t catch up.”
Speaking of this, a ruthless look crossed Qin Zheng’s face.
In the end, Qin Nianxue could only reluctantly nod her head, then the Qin family left directly and hurriedly headed towards the Sword Sea Sect.
Less than ten minutes after they left, a large group of people led by Wei Guang chased after them.
“Damn it, this is Qin Zheng’s aura. Has Qin Zheng really run away?
After sensing the aura left in this place, Liu Dongsheng gritted his teeth with anger.
“Hmph, ignore Liu Dongsheng. Let’s give chase and we must catch that Jiang Bai!” an alluring woman next to Wei Guang coldly snorted..
