Though Jiang Xiaobai did not emit any energy at the moment, the fact that he was hovering in the air alone was enough to demonstrate his strength. Moreover, he boldly came to the city lord’s mansion on his own, suggesting his power was at least at the late Nascent Soul Stage.
However, Feng Liangfei gave off no signs of worry or tension. It seemed like he didn’t perceive Jiang Xiaobai as a threat.
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Feng Liangfei and the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses around him in midair, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
“Congratulations, host, you’ve triggered a choice!”
“Option one: Sit down and have a cup of tea with them, reward piece of post-heaven Sky Spirit treasure.”
“Option two: Teach the city lord’s mansion a lesson, reward a ten-minute Dividing the gods act experience.”
“Option three: Destroy the city lord’s mansion, reward fifty years of cultivation!”
“Note that if the host selects option three, the system rewards will increase by 10-30% based on the time it takes the host to destroy the city lord’s mansion, and the reputation function will be activated after the selection.”
The reason for his smile became clear. This was the first time Jiang Xiaobai had heard such prompts from the system, and the rewards were quite potent.
Fifty years of cultivation was far superior to any Dividing the gods act experience card. That card only granted ten minutes, which might not be enough time to handle enemies. He’d rather have an unbroken ten years of cultivation!
Moreover, he was also curious about this reputation feature.
Jiang Xiaobai had come to deal a heavy blow this time. His enemies had tried to poison him, and he wasn’t going to simply shrug it off.
Besides, if he killed Feng He, Feng Liangfei wouldn’t let it go. At this point, Jiang Xiaobai understood the need to strike at the root.
“Well, what did you decide?”
Feng Liangfei, seeing that Jiang Xiaobai didn’t take any action for a while, frowned slightly. “Although I don’t know what your relationship with the Qin family is, you must have seen the strength of my mansion. It’s impossible for you to counter it on your own.”
“And behind me is the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. If you lay a finger on me, you are against the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. I believe you understand what that implies, right?”
The facts were indeed as he said. If Jiang Xiaobai took action against Feng Liangfei, it would be seen as disrespecting the Thousand Yuan Dynasty at the very least, or even as a direct affront to them.
Jiang Xiaobai did not care, though. His enemies were not ordinary forces, but an ancient tribe whose current strength may even surpass the Thousand Yuan
Dynasty.
What’s more, Feng He had gone too far this time. He tried to harm Jiang Xiaobai simply because he was close to Qin Nianxue. This action confirmed that it wasn’t the first time Feng He had done such a thing.
“Lord Feng, don’t you want to explain?” Jiang Xiaobai asked with a light laugh.
“Explain? What is there to explain?”
Feng He sneered: “Do you think you, such a waste, even deserve an explanation from my mansion? Look in the mirror and see what you’re worth!”
“Now, if you kneel down to apologize and offer Qin Nianxue to me, perhaps I might mercifully let you live as a dog at my doorstep. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
After Feng He finished speaking, no one interceded. Feng Liangfei remained indifferent as he watched Feng He’s arrogance continue.
“In the city lord’s mansion, you still dare to fly, you’re seeking death, come down!”
A powerhouse at the early Nascent Soul Stage next to Feng Liangfei coldly snorted and reached out to drag down Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai, smiling in mid-air, suddenly turned gloomy and easily blocked the attack with a sweep of his hand.
“When did it become your turn to butt in while I talk to your master?” Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly.
“Damn thing, you dare to insult me?”
The man in early Nascent Soul Stage was instantly infuriated, and drew a long spear towards Jiang Xiaobai’s neck saying, “You insolent fool, you won’t live long here!”
“Die!”
At that moment, the man charged at Jiang Xiaobai in the sky with his spear.
The hovering Jiang Xiaobai didn’t make any moves. He simply watched the man with a faint smile. The moment the man was about to reach Jiang Xiaobai, his body suddenly stiffened and he plummeted to the ground.
He was coughing up black blood, convulsing all over while under his skin something looked like thousands of worms crawling, which was extremely revolting.
“What…did you do to me?” The man clutched his heart, looking in disbelief at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Nothing much. I just fed you a Bone Annihilation Pill.”
Jiang Xiaobai gave a nonchalant smile. He had prepared for this, and as soon as he saw several powerful men in the mansion, he scattered the crushed Bone Annihilation Pill powder from his sleeve.
This stuff was colorless and tasteless, and wouldn’t take immediate effect when inhaled, but those below Transcendence could not resist it.
The only weakness was that spiritual power could form a barrier around oneself, preventing the powdered medicine from drawing near. But they didn’t know Jiang Xiaobai had this trick up his sleeve.
Who said medicine could only be used to save a life?
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, the man’s eyes were filled with anger and fear. Not only him, but Feng Liangfei’s usually calm face also turned pale.
“You damn man, you actually poisoned me?” Feng Liangfei glared at Jiang Xiaobai and scolded.
Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “I learned this from your son.”
“You!” Feng He jumped to his feet, pointing at Jiang Xiaobai but couldn’t find the right words.
Meanwhile, the previously mentioned man had started to vomit blood and convulse. In his blood were fragments of his dissolving internal organs.
The entire scene was incredibly horrifying.
Within seconds, the man at the early Nascent Soul Stage was dead on the spot. His body looked like an inflated balloon, a horrifying sight.
Seeing this scene, the people around felt a chill in their hearts, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with fear.
“Boy, do you know who I am? If you dare to kill me, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty will never leave you alone.” Feng Liangfei glared.
“Hehe, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty won’t leave me alone if I kill you? Then when your son poisoned me, he would be let off scot-free?”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered: “Your logic is quite interesting. You’re allowed to murder, but I can’t fight back?”
“Huh, you’re not even affected, are you?”
Feng Liangfei’s face was ashen: “Let’s brush aside the previous incident as a misunderstanding. This time, I admit I was wrong. I can compensate you — ten million top-grade spirit stones, how’s that?”
He was truly scared. He never expected Jiang Xiaobai to use poison, and the effects were horrifying. Everyone had witnessed how the man died.
Now, their only chance for survival was to get the antidote from Jiang Xiaobai..
