Chapter 1687: How Will You Repay Me for Saving You?

Chapter 1687: Chapter 1687: How Will You Repay Me for Saving You?

Jiang Xiaobai was quite confident in his own judgment.

This was for Lin YaoYao’s sake; he hoped she wouldn’t be ungrateful.

"Mm... Yes, exactly!"

So Jiang Xiaobai cast a glance at the chieftain, who was leisurely taking a bath, and decided not to interfere. Estimating he had at least ten more minutes, he took the opportunity to survey the tribe.

The human flame surviving in this mountainous mystical realm fascinated Jiang Xiaobai.

He was eager to know how they managed to survive all these years and how they cultivated to their current level.

Scanning the entire tribe, he could detect everyone’s strength. The strongest was only a Golden Immortal, while the rest could hardly be called powerful.

Yet, Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t seen anything remotely related to cultivation!

This was precisely why he wanted to investigate the Heavenly Demon Crystals.

Sneaking quietly, Jiang Xiaobai followed Brother Linzi to a straw hut. Residing here was the tribe’s most powerful and revered figure—the High Priest!

The only Golden Immortal in the entire tribe.

"High Priest, the chieftain has asked me to collect ten Heavenly Demon Crystals from you!"

Brother Linzi spoke respectfully towards the hut’s entrance.

Creaaak!

The small door opened, and a withered, skeletal arm extended out, throwing ten black stones the size of pebbles to Brother Linzi.

The entire process was wordless. Brother Linzi, seemingly understanding the High Priest’s peculiar nature, picked up the stones with excitement and hurried off!

Jiang Xiaobai observed everything from the shadows.

"So, this must be the key to improving your strength? The energy emanating from it is indeed dense, but why... does it carry a hint of dimensional fracture aura?"

Jiang Xiaobai frowned deeply. His divine sense swept over the chieftain’s location to confirm Lin YaoYao’s safety before vanishing into the void.

At this moment, Brother Linzi was jubilantly clutching the ten Heavenly Demon Crystals, searching for a secluded spot to absorb their energy.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before him, and he felt the cold touch of steel against his neck.

Jiang Xiaobai pressed his Abyss Rainbow Sword against Brother Linzi’s throat and extended his hand.

"Hand it over."

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s appearance, Brother Linzi immediately realized he was an outsider. Though terrified, he dared not hesitate—hesitation meant death!

After obtaining the Heavenly Demon Crystals, Jiang Xiaobai examined them briefly. As he suspected, there was indeed a faint trace of dimensional fracture aura, weak but unmistakable!

Something was off!

"Could it be the alien races planted this trap long ago?"

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes darkened with gravity. This matter was serious. Although he wasn’t clear on the events of the past, he knew this place was a remnant of the Heavenly Court era—a sanctuary for its flames and contingencies.

If alien races had infiltrated or laid schemes here, it would spell disaster!

"I’m warning you, leave now, and I’ll consider this incident never happened. You can take those crystals. But if you dare make a move against me, I guarantee you won’t leave this land alive!"

Brother Linzi steeled his nerves and snorted coldly. Realizing he wasn’t a match for Jiang Xiaobai, he invoked the High Priest as his shield: "The High Priest of our tribe has strength formidable enough to contend with the Gods and Demons!"

"Pfft!"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled. "Contend with Gods and Demons? Your so-called Gods and Demons must be incredibly weak then."

"You—!"

Smack!

Brother Linzi, seething with anger, was about to retort but was slapped across the face with the flat of Jiang Xiaobai’s sword. He was sent flying on the spot.

Dazed, Brother Linzi felt Jiang Xiaobai’s boot press against his back, with the long sword still at his throat.

"That prophecy your chieftain mentioned earlier—what was that about? And how many tribes like yours are out there? Do you all rely solely on these crystals to enhance your strength?"

Jiang Xiaobai fired one question after another, but Brother Linzi, struck senseless from the earlier blow, couldn’t utter a single word.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s divine sense detected the chieftain had finished bathing.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he decisively ended Brother Linzi’s life with a single sword stroke before vanishing once more.

A heavy weight in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai concealed himself outside the chieftain’s quarters, where he could hear Lin YaoYao’s hysterical screams.

"Get out, get out!"

"If you dare touch me, I’ll die right here and now!"

Lin YaoYao roared through clenched teeth, struggling desperately to fend off the assailant.

But no matter how pathetically weak the chieftain’s true strength might be, Lin YaoYao, devoid of any power at the moment, was like a fish on a chopping block—utterly at his mercy!

The chieftain let out a vile laugh, flexing his wrists as he approached Lin YaoYao.

Moments later, he grabbed both of Lin YaoYao’s hands, hoisting her up with force.

"Oh, celestial maiden, no matter how arrogant you were in the outside world, you’re nothing now! With no strength to speak of, what can you do to fight me?"

The chieftain’s face twisted with malice. "I may not know how you lived in the outside world, but why? Why do people like you get to enjoy such decadence, while we’ve been suffering here in this godforsaken wasteland for millions of years?"

"Today, I’ll have my way with you! I’ll make you realize even an ant like me can make you taste despair!"

Lin YaoYao, teetering on the edge of breakdown, was overtaken by despair. She had given up struggling, knowing it was futile!

But just then, a soft chuckle echoed in her ear.

"If I save your life, how will you repay me?"

Lin YaoYao, caught off guard, instinctively blurted out, "If you save me, I’ll offer myself to you!"

The moment these words left her lips, the chieftain’s face twisted in alarm. The next thing he knew, his world spiraled into chaos.

With a loud crash, the chieftain was sent flying by Jiang Xiaobai, who charged in.

Casually tossing Lin YaoYao a detoxification pill, Jiang Xiaobai said, "There, you said it yourself."

"Jiang Xiaobai?! Why is it you?!"

Lin YaoYao clutched the pill, staring at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief.

It was this scoundrel!

But...

"Don’t forget what you just said. Want to go back on your word? Fine, then I’ll personally cripple your limbs and let them have their way with you."

Jiang Xiaobai smirked wickedly.

"You bastard! How can you be so shameless?!"

Lin YaoYao quickly swallowed the detoxification pill. No matter what, as long as she regained her spiritual power, she’d still have a chance!

She suspected Jiang Xiaobai might have handed her poison instead, but at this point, there was no other choice.

Fortunately, as the pill dissolved, a thick stream of energy began to circulate within her, and her strength gradually returned!

Lin YaoYao’s expression turned feral as she glared at the chieftain.

"Who... Who are you? High Priest! High Priest!"

"An outsider has invaded!"

The chieftain cried out in terror, but Jiang Xiaobai only grinned. "Stop yelling. The formation here ensures your High Priest can’t hear a word."

"You!"

Smack!

Without hesitation, Lin YaoYao slapped the chieftain across the face, nearly scattering his soul on the spot.

Just as she was about to strike again, Jiang Xiaobai stopped her.

"Hold on. I have some questions for him first."
