Chapter 308: 308: A Great Deception
Generally speaking, these forces could never be fully united; they all had their own share of grievances that couldn’t be discussed openly.
It had been decades since the last time rumors spread about many forces uniting, and that was when everyone was working together to develop the Mad Demon Secret Land.
So, Xiao Wuwei became increasingly curious.
Especially about the leading group of people – their power was unheard of in the eastern Central State.
However, the entire hall was shrouded in a nervous, tense atmosphere; Xiao Wuwei dare not speak up.
Seems like Huang Xu had noticed the thoughts in Xiao Wuwei’s mind. He chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and summoned Xiao Wuwei over.
“Master Huang, what exactly is happening?”
Xiao Wuwei asked in a hushed, curious tone.
“There’s no harm in telling you. There is a fugitive hidden within the Mad Demon Secret Land this time.”
“Eh? A fugitive… are you referring to Jiang Bai?”
Xiao Wuwei frowned at once.
“Oh? It seems that you are aware. The man in question is indeed Jiang Bai. But his identity isn’t so simple, neither is his enemy. Do you see those people in black clothes ahead? They belong to the ancient race.”
“Among the current strong forces in the Eastern Domain apart from the top three transcendent powers, there are only a few more, among them is the ancient race. Our Thousand Yuan Dynasty is not comparable to them in the slightest.”
Hearing this, Xiao Wuwei couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The Thousand Yuan Dynasty is considered a big shot in the eastern Central State. Having been accustomed to their superior status, Xiao Wuwei was amazed.
He had known that many forces were stronger than the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, but he hadn’t come across them until now.
Seeing the people from the ancient race, he was flabbergasted, and his breathing became rapid.
“That Jiang Bai is just a pseudonym. His real name is Jiang Xiaobai, who provoked the ancient race and fled to Central State.”
Huang Xu casually said: “However, this kid truly does not know what’s good for him. He clearly came to take refuge, but ended up causing such a big stir. Now, his identity has been discovered by someone and reported to the ancient race.”
“This time, we are waiting for the end of the Mad Demon Secret Land, lending a hand to the ancient race to capture Jiang Xiaobai.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuwei finally understood. While shocked, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
Jiang Bai, Jiang Xiaobai.
What a great deception!
The pity is that this kid, although powerful, was too arrogant. Xiao Wuwei had wanted to find someone to block his way out as soon as he was transported out, but it seems there’s no need for that trouble now.
“Hehe, Jiang Xiaobai, I’m curious to see how you’ll escape this time!”
Xiao Wuwei looked at the terrifying lineup in front of him and couldn’t help but feel a moment of silence for Jiang Xiaobai.
Those that arrived were the top experts from the Four Sects and the Five Mountains. The least qualified among them were the Dividing the Gods-sect Elders, and every force had sent a Fusion-senior expert to aid them.
What was even more frightening was that the ancient race had sent seven people in total, five of whom were at the Fusion stage!
Such a terrifying lineup would intimidate anyone, not just Jiang Xiaobai. Even seeing it would make the post-Dividing Gods chills run down their spine.
It can be said that this time, Jiang Xiaobai is as good as dead, with no room for escape.
Once the Mad Demon Secret Land ends, he is doomed if he dares to step out!
Xiao Wuwei decided to stay and watch the drama. He truly wanted to see what Jiang Xiaobai’s expression would look like when faced with such a desperate situation.
…
Inside the Mad Demon Secret Land, Jiang Xiaobai was naturally unaware of the situation outside. To prevent startling the snake in the grass, none of these forces reported the situation, but simply came here to wait for Jiang Xiaobai to emerge.
Therefore, many forces inside the Mad Demon Secret Land were also unaware of this situation.
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai had successfully used the crowd’s anger towards him to attract a large wave of firepower, keeping them at a distance while he kept running.
AnRan didn’t let them down either. Although many people had left the altar to hunt down Jiang Xiaobai, it still provided opportunities for those without enough strength.
There were still fierce battles around the secret entrances near the altar.
AnRan had superior strength amongst these people, and after having been mixed up with Jiang Xiaobai for so long, each battle they experienced far exceeded their own realm.
After a while, AnRan’s power had surged magnificently!
He easily snatched three places, from the first to the third secret areas, and as expected, he successfully cleared all three challenges.
“Good job, my talent is indeed exceptional. This trip wasn’t for naught!”
After passing through the three secret challenges, AnRan had received quite a few opportunities. One of them was a mysterious stick technique he obtained in a secret area. Its rank was very high, surpassing the power of the stick techniques he was currently practicing by more than ten times!
At this time, his strength had also reached the mid-Transcendence stage!
“Hehe, Boss, the big surprise you promised me, I’m afraid you can’t take it back now.”
AnRan chuckled, casually swung the black chunky stick in his hand, and his eyes fell on the door of the fifth secret area.
He had cleared three secret areas in a day, but up until now, Xiao Yuwei from the fifth secret area had not yet emerged, which made AnRan curious as to what kind of challenges this woman had been through inside.
Just at this moment, the light curtain of the fifth secret area flashed, and a beautiful shadow emerged. It was Xiao Yuwei whose face was filled with relief.
“As expected, my talent isn’t that good. But, it’s still a good thing that I barely passed the test and got an opportunity.”
Xiao Yuwei was full of sighs in her heart. This test was extremely dangerous, and she just barely made it through on the last time limit. Otherwise, it would have been a wasted trip.
After stepping out of the light curtain, Xiao Yuwei took a deep breath, noticing the surroundings, her face appeared stunned.
Why are there so many less people?
“What happened?”
As Xiao Yuwei squinted her eyes and asked the handful of aides approaching her, her gaze continuously searched the small, scattered crowd for Jiang Xiaobai.
Hearing Xiao Yuwei’s question, Xiao Wu immediately informed her of the situation. However, he did not mention that it was because of him that Jiang Xiaobai’s identity was exposed and only stated that Xiao Wuwei had recognized Jiang Xiaobai’s identity!
With this, Xiao Yuwei could only sigh: “I’ve told him several times to stay calm. After we finish this, I will lift the warrant for him. He really deserved it.”
With Jiang Xiaobai’s identity exposed, the princess who issued the imperial edict for a wanted criminal was also greatly impacted, the collaboration could no longer continue.
Xiao Yuwei could only sigh, but after receiving the opportunity from the fifth secret area, she was still in a no-lose situation.
But at this moment, AnRan suddenly appeared before her.
“Hmph, such a good toady. Don’t you know how my boss’ identity got exposed?”
AnRan gritted his teeth as he stared at Xiao Wu, the black chunky stick in his hand emitting a fearful aura.
