Chapter 473: Chapter 439: Clearing Stages One After Another

Be reasonable.

Tanshui River was just an eight-star challenge.

Yet, it had seen the emergence of horrifying beings such as Yan Chixia and Bai Yi.

Jiang Xiao had reason to suspect that even a boss from a Kaidan with nine stars or more wouldn’t suffice for a single slap from Bai Yi.

Moreover, the only reason Bai Yi hadn’t killed him was simply because she didn’t see him as a good person.

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

What would have to happen for another chosen one to be able to retrieve Dalian’s soul from Bai Yi’s grasp?

Can’t figure it out, not in the least.

"Forget it, I’ll check out the livestream once we get out. Those guys are probably still wondering where Dalian’s soul has gone. Heh heh heh."

Although people should unite against a common enemy when facing a Kaidan, it’s hard not to feel a little smug when you know you’re better off than others.

"Daddy, stop that lecherous laugh, didn’t we forget about two people?"

"Who?"

Jiang Xiao looked puzzled at Bai Yi.

"How many of us were there when we came?"

"Two, you and me."

"Yeah, and aren’t we still two people now? Who did we forget?"

Bai Yi, fiddling with her fingers, shyly suggested that perhaps they had forgotten the blonde guy...

Wait, what?

(O_o)??

Seems like it, huh?

"Are Gangdan and little Chang An still at the Qi family estate?"

"Uh-huh, seems so, and if nothing unexpected has happened, they might be undergoing unimaginable torture as we speak..."

Fortunately...

Even though the mission was completed, the pull to summon wasn’t very strong, and luckily he had that mirror to make contact with Bai Yi.

Otherwise, he’d have been screwed.

Using the method he learned from the Juicer Princess at the start, Jiang Xiao finally reached Bai Yi.

When you think about it, this method of communication was quite unique.

It felt a bit like "Sing my true name and in the cycle of reincarnation behold eternity."

First, one had to cover the mirror with their own power, then constantly visualize Bai Yi’s voice and smile in their mind, and upon making contact, their heart seemed to skip a beat.

It was a very special feeling, much like the sensation of dreaming and stepping into thin air, falling into a river.

Very unique, but hard to express in words.

"Oh? Are you saying you know those two Taoists? You want me to let them go?"

"Uh, could you, sis? Although we’ve only met twice, we do know each other well enough..."

Jiang Xiao’s tone carried a hint of pleading, not wanting the two Taoists to suffer because of his oversight.

"Oh dear, what an unfortunate coincidence."

The voice of Bai Yi came through the mirror, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"They’ve been taken by the Juicer Princess, and I can’t really interfere with her personal affairs."

Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Can Gangdan really handle it?

He was squeezed into an Egyptian mummy last night!

As for little Chang An...

He’s quite young, isn’t he?

Is the Juicer Princess that vicious?

But to be fair, Jiang Xiao thought that Gangdan probably wouldn’t mind being used as a tool by the Juicer Princess, it was just unfortunate for Chang An...

Fortunately, Bai Yi stated that the Juicer Princess didn’t intend to take their lives.

"The little girl likes to play, and once she’s bored, she’ll naturally let them go. Hmm, I’ll remind the Juicer Princess to go easy on them, not to play anyone to ruin, you can rest assured."

After receiving Bai Yi’s promise, that summoning feeling reappeared within Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi.

"A mirror, you want to be considered a mysterious artifact? Is it your brain that’s malfunctioning or is mine being silly?"

"Definitely yours being silly!"

Jiang Xiao responded with conviction to the doubting Kaidan.

"It won’t do! However, if you’re willing, the scepter and ritual garments that this little sister has could together be considered as one mysterious artifact."

Both of them: ....

After the battle with Big White, Jiang Xiao had also figured out what the ritual garments and scepter were for.

The scepter was probably similar to his Peach Wood Sword, used for magical attacks and highly effective against the strange and unusual.

The ritual garments, on the other hand, were a powerful piece of armor.

You should have seen it when Jiang Xiao and Steel Egg were almost unable to withstand Big White’s spiritual assault, yet Little White was as lively as a dragon, transforming into a little whirlwind and pummeling with Beast-shaped Fist with howls and yelps.

"Dad, Mu Xitang and I have already discussed it; the Peach Wood Sword, ritual garments, and scepter, we’ll each take one when the time comes."

Bai Yi pouted her lips. She wanted to save Shi Shi but was reluctant to part with the scepter in her hand.

Jiang Xiao’s expression darkened.

Great, the scepter and ritual garments were one thing, but the Peach Wood Sword was still openly in use by himself, wasn’t it?

He wasn’t even dead yet, and his inheritance was already being eyed.

"No worries, there’s no rush to decide, the ritual garments are indeed a good thing."

The mysterious artifacts might be powerful, and Jiang Xiao was confident he could find one,

but those fancy mysterious artifacts, despite their incredible effects, weren’t really of much help to him.

They could neither make him stronger nor serve as a weapon to defeat opponents.

However, the effect of the ritual garments was exactly the "defensive" item he desperately needed.

Steel Egg had said that the scepter and the ritual garments were imbued with the faith of nearly half a city, a valuable treasure that was hard to come by.

Of course, whether it was the scepter or the ritual garments, they were both willingly given to Jiang Xiao by Steel Egg, so even now that they’d become "friends," Jiang Xiao never considered giving them back.

The Peach Wood Sword was made from lightning-struck timber and still carried the scent of peach wood; clearly, it was also very precious.

"How is Shi Shi doing now?"

If Kaidan found out that White Hair was not doing well, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t hesitate; three items for three items, he’d give them away.

"She..."

Extremely rare for Kaidan, it didn’t finish its sentence in one go.

"She’s alright."

Alright?

Jiang Xiao snorted with laughter; if he wasn’t mistaken, White Hair seemed to be thriving now, wasn’t she?

If she was even slightly unhappy, Kaidan would undoubtedly exaggerate in order to swindle items from him.

...

After leaving the dimension and returning to Blue Star.

Sun Wei also felt that Jiang Xiao had done nothing wrong. Although she was anxious, since it was confirmed that Shi Shi was unharmed, they could take a moment.

After encountering a being as extraordinary as Big White, it was natural for Sun Wei to feel unsettled.

They now needed such items to bridge the gap between them and elite beings.

"I find this Kaidan weird this time, out of nowhere, why is it so difficult?"

As Jiang Xiao questioned, Sun Wei, having been prepared, weirdly gestured that he could check the live broadcasts from other countries.

Hmm...

The situation was much as Jiang Xiao had imagined.

They lacked the ability to subdue Dalian and also failed to realize that Dalian’s soul had already vanished.

They were all fumbling over Liu Town’s small patch of land.

And it was actually effective.

Bear Country’s Big Ikailev had passed the level shortly after Jiang Xiao did.

Sun Wei explained on the side,

"Actually, it’s not that difficult."

"You just need to get close to one of the Four Sinister under Qizi Gongzi, implanted in the Song family—Ni He."

"That’s the black-robed old man who was initially killed off by Jiang Xiao, who has been surveilling the Song family’s every move."
