Chapter 1662: Chapter 1662: There is Always a Connection to Cause and Effect

Seeing it was an old acquaintance, the gluttonous Monk burst out laughing.

"So it’s you, kid! I didn’t expect to run into you here after all this time."

The gluttonous Monk gave Ao Cheng a hearty punch on the chest, then immediately became excited, his gaze scanning the crowd.

"Since you’re all here, that mutt Jiang Xiaobai must be here too, right? Get him out here! Humph, today I’ll show him what true cruelty looks like!"

As soon as he said this, Ao Cheng and the others gave the gluttonous Monk a bewildered look.

"Did all that meat you’ve been eating rot your brain? If you’re looking to die, there’s no need to do it like this. You think you can beat him?" Ao Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Don’t underestimate me. I, humble Monk that I am, have already reached Primordial Chaos Boundless, with incredibly powerful inheritances. Beating him? It’d be like swatting a child!"

The gluttonous Monk grinned boastfully. "Hurry up and tell me where that guy is. Make him come out now and fight me! This time, I’ll beat him so bad even his own mother won’t recognize him!"

Ao Cheng shook his head. "He’s not with us. We’re out here training. By the way, let me introduce you to a few people—these are big shots from the Earth Immortal Realm."

As Ao Cheng introduced them, AnRan and the others became briefly acquainted with the gluttonous Monk. They were all curious whether this grease-slicked Monk was the real deal or some kind of fraud.

"Since we’ve bumped into each other, it must be fate. Come on, let’s find a tavern and chat over some food!"

As the group headed toward a tavern, another team appeared in the distance.

Leading them was none other than the infamous witch of the Dongsheng Divine Continent, Lin YaoYao!

As usual, she wore a half-face mask, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

"How strange. Such a grand spectacle, so lively, and that mutt Jiang Xiaobai still hasn’t shown up?"

Mentioning Jiang Xiaobai immediately reignited the fire of anger in Lin YaoYao’s chest!

Back at the Purple Bamboo Forest by the South Sea, she had been thoroughly duped by Jiang Xiaobai. Not only that, but she couldn’t even find him afterward, which left her both anxious and furious.

She was still carrying the poison Jiang Xiaobai had planted on her!

As the deadline for the poison approached, Lin YaoYao became desperate. Resigned, she sought out her master, Li Tian, but she didn’t disclose her dealings with Jiang Xiaobai. She merely claimed someone had poisoned her.

The entire Demon Emperor Palace was thrown into an uproar. They spared no effort and summoned an endless parade of renowned experts to examine Lin YaoYao, yet not a single trace of poison could be found on her.

Ultimately, there was one conclusion: Lin YaoYao had been completely fooled by Jiang Xiaobai—there wasn’t any poison to begin with!

When she learned the truth, Lin YaoYao was so angry she coughed up three mouthfuls of blood and fainted on the spot.

The Demon Emperor Palace hurried to suppress the incident, forbidding anyone from leaking it.

Otherwise, the Demon Emperor Palace’s reputation would be utterly ruined!

In the end, they disregarded the warnings from the Heavenly Palace, throwing all their resources—and even swallowing their pride to seek help from their backers—into a frenzied search for Jiang Xiaobai’s whereabouts!

Now, Lin YaoYao had brought her forces to the Western Ox Continent, partly in hopes of flushing out Jiang Xiaobai.

After all, Jiang Xiaobai had one undeniable trait in his way of doing things: wherever there were crowds, he was bound to appear!

However, after three days of searching, there was still no sign of him.

"Hmph, just wait till I find your traces. This time, you’re dead!"

Lin YaoYao gritted her teeth, already scheming up ways to torment Jiang Xiaobai once she caught him.

Soon, she encountered more geniuses from the Dongsheng Divine Continent. These squads had also convened at this location, waiting for the mountains to open so they could search for opportunities within.

In this era of grand upheaval, securing these opportunities was a top priority. Searching for Jiang Xiaobai, by comparison, seemed far less urgent.

Lin YaoYao, being a renowned genius of the Dongsheng Divine Continent, naturally attracted attention. Many factions tried to curry favor, vying to team up with or even share a drink with her.

She rejected them all—she had no interest in such trivialities right now!

As she walked on, the Holy Son of White Rainbow Valley, Li Feng, suddenly appeared. When facing him, even Lin YaoYao dared not act high and mighty.

"Lin YaoYao greets Holy Son Li Feng!"

Li Feng casually waved his hand, then chuckled as he approached. "Saintess Lin, I’ve heard a bit about what’s gone on with your Demon Emperor Palace. Could it be that you’re desperately looking for Jiang Xiaobai this time?"

Lin YaoYao’s mouth twitched. She knew there was no hiding this matter from major figures like him, so she sighed and said,

"That wretch has gone too far. If I don’t capture him, my inner focus will be damaged, and my cultivation may stagnate."

"Heh heh, how about I lend you a hand?"

Li Feng gave a mysterious smile. "Follow me—I know a place. There’s nothing in this world that they don’t know about."

"Such a powerful faction exists?"

Lin YaoYao was taken aback!

In the Earth Immortal Realm, countless factions with their own specialties kept arising, but one that knew everything? She had never heard of such a thing.

"Come with me, and you’ll see," Li Feng said.

Seeing his cryptic smile, Lin YaoYao reasoned that Li Feng wouldn’t harm her and decided to follow him.

Soon, the group arrived at a narrow alley, at the end of which stood a small, inconspicuous shop.

"A pawnshop?"

Lin YaoYao raised an eyebrow. "Such a mundane name—could it really be this ’hidden in plain sight’ thing?"

"Exactly. Come on, once inside, you’ll definitely find Jiang Xiaobai’s whereabouts."

Li Feng smiled.

Lin YaoYao hurried forward, but suddenly stopped.

"Why is Holy Son Li Feng helping me like this?"

Li Feng chuckled. "What? Do you think I’m plotting against you?"

"You’re Jiang Xiaobai, aren’t you?!"

Lin YaoYao gritted her teeth, her voice cold. "I’ve never had any dealings with Holy Son Li Feng of White Rainbow Valley—he would never help me so eagerly!"

Li Feng’s eye twitched. "Looks like the Saintess has really suffered under Jiang Xiaobai. The trauma must be substantial! But you’re overthinking things. I’m no imposter—I really am Li Feng, the Holy Son of White Rainbow Valley."

He even took out his personal emblem to prove it. Upon seeing it, Lin YaoYao finally let out a breath of relief.

The emblem of the Holy Son of White Rainbow Valley was unique—impossible to forge.

She couldn’t believe Jiang Xiaobai would go so far as to take down Li Feng just to mess with her!

"If that’s the case, it’s truly a misunderstanding. I hope the Holy Son will forgive me."

"No harm done. I’m not offended by such minor suspicions. Come, I too am curious to see what that rascal Jiang Xiaobai has been up to."

The two of them laughed as they stepped into the pawnshop.

Lin YaoYao had guessed correctly: Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t go so far as to mess with the Holy Son of White Rainbow Valley. But that didn’t mean someone else wouldn’t!

Inside the pawnshop, a lazy white-haired youth was slumped on the high counter, dozing off.

When he sensed the group entering, the youth raised his head, a glint of sharp light flashing briefly in his eyes.

...

The Netherworld, in the Underworld!

Jiang Xiaobai and his companions were drinking merrily with the Ten Yama Kings!

"You did well—you’ve cleared out all the distorted spatial regions in the Netherworld. Outstanding work."

"It’s not just the Underworld that owes you now. The entire Netherworld is in your debt!"

King Yama laughed heartily, pouring Jiang Xiaobai another drink with great enthusiasm.

The atmosphere today seemed determined to get Jiang Xiaobai drunk.

"Ah, no need for all this talk. Even if I’m owed favors, what does that change? Is there even anything I could possibly need from you?"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.

"You don’t understand."

King Qin Guang calmly waved his hand. "To you, it might seem trivial. But this favor has become part of the karmic cycle connected to you. All fate and karma intertwine—one day, you’ll need it."
