At this moment, the five black bears were showing shocked expressions on their faces.
The move that Jiang Xiaobai had just displayed was startling.
“Pretending to be a ghost, all of you, attack him! Give it your all!” After regaining his senses, Black Bear burst out with a yell, leading the others to charge at Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai merely snorted coldly, and all of them were sent flying backvvard!
Crack crack!
The burly men who had been flung away crashed into a bunch of stalls, the sound of splintering wood accompanied by the noise of breaking bones, giving everyone chills.
The small boy who had stood behind Jiang Xiaobai the whole time was dumbstruck.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t do anything and these men were sent flying. Was this some kind of divine skill?
At that moment, the little boy’s admiration for Jiang Xiaobai reached its peak. “Bastard… Who are you, really? I have a mentor, do you think you can beat that man?”
Black Bear forced himself to stand up off the ground, his face bloody and ferocious looking.
Upon hearing these words, the crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacle scattered in an instant.
They did not wish to get involved in any trouble. After all, that was an immortal!
Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, seeing why these guys dared to act so arrogantly – they had a cultivator backing them up.
Following his principle of going all in, Jiang Xiaobai calmly walked over to Black Bear.
“This mentor, do you know where he is?”
“Of course.’
“Lead the way.”
“Humph, youngster, you’re really… Huh? What did you say?” Black Bear looked confused. “Oh, you’ve really crossed the line. You damn dog! If you want to die, then I’ll oblige you!”
And so Black Bear actually started to lead the way.
Before long, Jiang Xiaobai was led to a residence. In Tianyuan City, this house did not seem particularly luxurious or extravagant, but in the eyes of an ordinary person, those who could live inside were big figures.
As they arrived at the front door, the gate opened automatically. Black Bear greeted with a bloodthirsty grin.
“Kid, you can still kneel and apologize now. If you anger the immortal, you won’t even get a chance to beg for mercy. You’ll be completely obliterated, do you understand… Hey, are you asking for death?”
Before Black Bear could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaobai had already entered the courtyard.
Sitting inside was an old Taoist with a white beard, holding a horsetail whisk and sitting cross-legged with a hairpin in his hair, his eyes closed, giving off an air of otherworldly charm.
Jiang Xiaobai took one look and saw through the Taoist’s level of cultivation. He was merely in the early stages of Foundation Establishment!
“Black Bear, have you caused trouble again?” the Taoist asked calmly. “Mentor, this kid insulted you, saying that you are a scammer!”
Black Bear pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and shouted.
“Heh, the world is full of ignorance. What do they know about the ways of Immortal magic?”
The Taoist slowly opened his eyes. “There’s no point in me, a humble Taoist, speaking much to you, a mere mortal. Kneel down, knock your head in apology, kill yourself, and I might leave your body intact. Otherwise, your soul will scatter and you’ll lose all chances of reincarnation.”
Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly, “I’m giving you a chance as well. Abandon your cultivation now, and I may spare your life.”
“It appears that you don’t understand the word ‘death.’ Let elder me teach you a lesson!”
The Taoist snorted, waving his horsetail whisk.
At the same moment, Jiang Xiaobai moved his two fingers together, twisted his wrist, and a sword Qi pierced the Taoist’s shoulder at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Without even being able to execute his move, the Taoist was sent flying backwards, terrified.
“Esteemed fellow Daoist, let’s have a calm discussion!”
The Taoist yelled wretchedly.
Yet Jiang Xiaobai never considered sparing this man. His next Sword Qi pierced through the Taoist’s forehead.
This kind of guy, who abused his slight cultivation to wreak havoc among mortals, was not worthy of being called a cultivator and deserved to die.
Seeing the immortal he had worshipped being killed in one move by Jiang Xiaobai, Black Bear was dumbfounded.
Thump!
Black Bear immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly to Jiang Xiaobai.
“Please show mercy, spare my life. I am willing to be your servant!”
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t pay him any mind and instead turned to look at the little
boy beside him.
“What are your thoughts?”
“You… are so strong!” The little boy said in admiration, “I also want to be like immortal, punish the wicked and eliminate the evil!”New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
“Having the heart to become stronger is good. But the road to strength is fraught with dangers, so you must be prepared.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded calmly, “Do you have a name?”
“Travelling across the great lakes and the vast world, living as a wanderer.
From now on, how about I call you Huseng?”
“Huseng…”
Little Huseng didn’t know yet that in the future, this name would come to represent something significant.
Having received his name, Huseng, under Jiang Xiaobai’s lead, stepped outside.
Inside the courtyard, Black Bear had been kneeling the entire time, not daring to lift his head. Jiang Xiaobai didn’t even spare him a glance.
After he had dealt with these people, they already suffered lethal wounds in their bodies. They seemed fine now, but they were sure to die by tonight.
On the way back, Jiang Xiaobai spoke instructively to Huseng.
“There are many things you will need to learn in the future, and I will teach you each of them slowly. However, I also have one request.”
“I need absolute loyalty.”
“Can you do it?”
“I can!”
Huseng responded without a second thought, his voice loud as if to emphasize his determination.
Today, an earth-shattering event was buzzing around the city.
The previously rampant Black Bear had unexpectedly disappeared.
The person responsible for this was a mysterious figure who had never before been seen, wearing a black robe and an iron mask.
Everyone said that this mysterious person was an immortal passing through, who had come specifically to discipline these guys.
No matter what rumors were flying around outside, Jiang Xiaobai’s reputation in this place was substantial. Even though his shop was closed, it inspired a sense of awe, leaving it undisturbed.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai was arranging some matters for Huseng in the courtyard.
This little fellow was only in his teens, and his spiritual roots were only of medium quality. If he stepped onto the path of cultivation, it could be said that the road would be full of hardships.
However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care. With him around, if Huseng couldn’t grow to stand on his own, it would really be embarrassing.
After leaving enough wealth for Huseng to live on for a decade or so, Jiang Xiaobai brought over some simple elixirs to expand Huseng’s meridians and condition his body.
Being homeless and hungry for an extended period of time, he couldn’t start cultivating immediately, and must first adjust his physical condition.
“From now on, this place is yours. What you have to do is to survive and become stronger.”
Jiang Xiaobai left behind these words and promptly left.
Although this small shop was crucial in his plan, it could not yet display its full value.
As the sky darkened, the auction hall of the Golden Pavilion was overflowing with people.
Entering the Golden Pavilion, Lu Lian, who had been rather reckless before, immediately stepped forward to Jiang Xiaobai, greeted him respectfully, and led him upstairs.
The Golden Pavilion was a tall building with seven floors in total, and the auction hall was located on the top floor.
The place was spacious, capable of accommodating at least a thousand people, and there were many specific pavilions reserved for people of honorable status.
The auction was about to start.
What was coming next was the most important part of Jiang Xiaobai’s plan..
