18: Chapter 18: The grudges of the predecessor, new side quests

As Jiang Xiaobai fled back to Qingyun Sect, the System's voice rang out again, which made Jiang Xiaobai, who was originally panicking, suddenly excited.

"Ding, the System has detected that evildoers wish to harm the Host. As the Son of Destiny, the Host may tolerate it, but the System cannot."

"Ding, this System is now releasing a new side quest. Please, Host, use every means at your disposal to first drive the invading enemies mad, and then slay them."

"Ding, the completion Rank for this side quest is divided into four Ranks: abysmal, acceptable, good, and perfect. The higher the Rank the Host achieves in completing the side quest, the more generous the rewards will be."

As Jiang Xiaobai fled back to Qingyun Sect, he thought of a good idea, so as soon as he entered Qingyun Sect, he immediately told Guo Guo and Xiao Man to hide their Aura.

Although Xiao Man and Guo Guo were puzzled when they heard him, they did as they were told, otherwise they truly feared that Jiang Xiaobai would speak ill of them in front of Li Yuqi.

Guo Guo and Xiao Man still felt a lingering fear about what happened at Fuman Restaurant.

Seeing that Guo Guo and Xiao Man had hidden their Great Emperor Realm Peak strength, Jiang Xiaobai's mouth curved into a smile and he said:

"Everyone, stop what you're doing and come with me to welcome two friends."

"Yes, Martial Uncle Jiang."

Soon, everyone followed Jiang Xiaobai to the front of Qingyun Sect's mountain gate.

"Xiao Man, what is this Junior Brother up to again?"

"I don't know."

While the two were still chatting, two figures suddenly flew rapidly towards Qingyun Sect.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately shouted:

"Everyone, immediately prepare for battle! We must protect Qingyun Sect!"

"Yes, Martial Uncle Jiang."

Guo Guo and Xiao Man were utterly bewildered by this. Just then, the two figures arrived at the foot of Qingyun Sect's mountain. Guo Guo and Xiao Man were even more speechless:

"I probably understand what Jiang Xiaobai means," Xiao Man said, looking at the two people at the foot of the mountain.

Guo Guo was stunned upon hearing this, and probably also understood Jiang Xiaobai's meaning.

"You two bastards, how dare you chase me all the way to Qingyun Sect? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly puffed out his chest, angrily scolding Li Zizhong and the other with full Aura.

"You two stop right there! Dare to take another step forward, and don't blame our Qingyun Sect for being ruthless!"

Although Jiang Xiaobai said this, he was actually very nervous inside; he was afraid the two wouldn't come in.

"Heh heh, Holy Child Jiang, you don't need to pretend. You can't scare us."

"Jiang Xiaobai, if you hadn't run, this Saint would have only killed you. But you fled back to this dilapidated Sect, so this Saint has no choice but to purge the entire Qingyun Sect."

"Jiang Xiaobai, the more than five thousand people of Qingyun Sect will all die because of you."

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed as he looked at the crowd behind him and said:

"Are you afraid of death!?"

"No!"

"Since you're not afraid of death, how should we face the invading enemy!?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

More than five thousand people, their Aura shaking the heavens.

Li Zizhong and the other were stunned by this, then burst into laughter:

"Hahahahaha, a bunch of Ants. No matter how many of you there are, you're no match for this Saint with one hand."

"Saint, this Qingyun Sect looks very dilapidated. Could there be a trick?"

Zhang Zikun's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and he immediately released his Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Qingyun Sect.

After a long while, he finally said:

"Don't worry, Qingyun Sect has no powerful experts. This Jiang Xiaobai is just trying to scare us."

"Let's go, we'll act immediately and kill everyone to avoid trouble."

The two started walking towards Jiang Xiaobai and his group. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Guo Guo and Xiao Man, and they both nodded.

"Stop! Dare to come closer, and you'll surely die!"

To make Zhang Zikun and the other two think he was scared, Jiang Xiaobai pretended to be terrified but acted calm, while excitedly thinking to himself:

"Almost there, almost there! Only ten meters left! Only ten meters left until these two enter Qingyun Sect!"

A moment later, Zhang Zikun and the other two stepped into Qingyun Sect, arrogantly ignoring everyone and saying:

"Heh heh, Holy Child Jiang, we've already stepped into Qingyun Sect. What are you going to do to us?"

"Jiang Xiaobai, this Saint will give you a chance. Tell this Saint, how did you survive back then? As long as you satisfy this Saint's curiosity, I can give you a quick death."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at their arrogant demeanor, and his feigned expression suddenly changed. His mouth curved into a smile and he said:

"Guo Guo, beat them down, but remember not to kill them."

Buzz!

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, a terrifying and boundless phantom immediately appeared ten thousand meters above Qingyun Sect.

The powerful Aura made everyone gasp for breath. Zhang Zikun and the other two were greatly shocked by this:

"Oh no, run!"

After realizing what was happening, the two immediately tried to escape from Qingyun Sect, but it was too late.

"Want to escape? Did you get Guo Guo's permission?"

Guo Guo directly pressed the two to the ground, unable to move at all.

"Ah! Damn it! Jiang Xiaobai, if you have the guts, fight us one-on-one! What's the use of subduing us with external force!"

"Holy Child Jiang, we were just joking with you before. Please don't be angry, just let us go."

Jiang Xiaobai stared intently at the two, and soon walked up to them.

"I ask, you answer. If you satisfy me, I might consider letting you go. After all, we don't know each other, and I'm not a cruel person."

The two were stunned upon hearing this. After exchanging glances, they nodded.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"Holy Child Jiang, it's not us who want to kill you, it's the Holy Lord and the entire Ancient Dragon Holy Land who want to kill you."

"That's right, that's right, Holy Child Jiang, we were just following orders. We don't know anything else."

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. Ancient Dragon Holy Land?

"What kind of place is Ancient Dragon Holy Land?"

Zhang Zikun and the other two were stunned again upon hearing this, their faces full of confusion.

"Holy Child Jiang, don't you remember what happened back then?"

Jiang Xiaobai stared intently at the two and said:

"I said, I don't know you, nor do I remember any Ancient Dragon Holy Land."

"Tell me, why do your Holy Lord and the Ancient Dragon Holy Land want to kill me!?"

The two, questioned by Jiang Xiaobai, looked at each other:

"Saint, did we make a mistake? Is he really not Holy Child Jiang Xiaobai?"

"I'm asking you a question, speak!"

"Holy Child Jiang, we also don't know why the Holy Lord and the Ancient Dragon Holy Land want to kill you. We were just following orders back then."

"And the Ancient Dragon Holy Land is one of the five Great Holy Lands of the Tianxuan World, incredibly powerful, with many Great Emperor Realm experts within the Holy Land," Zhang Zikun said, observing Jiang Xiaobai's expression, hoping to scare Jiang Xiaobai with the Ancient Dragon Holy Lands power.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn't fall for it and said:

"Where is the Ancient Dragon Holy Land?"

"Reporting to Holy Child Jiang, the Ancient Dragon Holy Land is in the Central Region."

The Central Region? Isn't that very far? The Tianxuan World has five major regions: East, West, South, North, and Central, as well as a vast and boundless sea.

And where he was currently located was the Southern Region, which was an unknown distance from the Central Region.

According to legends, the Central Region was the strongest region in the entire Tianxuan World, where experts were as numerous as clouds, and Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant.

"It seems my predecessor's background is not simple. This might be Karma and Reincarnation. I borrowed your body, but I must bear your grudges and Karma."

"Holy Child Jiang, we've told you everything we should and shouldn't have. Can you let us go now?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai smiled crookedly:

"Let you go? Then how am I supposed to complete my System quest!?"
