Chapter 285: 286: Instant Transmission Talisman

“Keke, kid, you won’t slip away this time, will you?”

Ji Wuqing’s body hair stood on end, soaked in sweat. He was highly sensitive to danger, and at this moment, the explosive aura he sensed made him tremble with fear, feeling that a mere glance from the opponent could exterminate him.

Li Xiaobai glanced at the chicken with some helplessness.

“You, this chicken, are essentially immortal. Why don’t you believe that? Since you’ll revive in an hour anyway, you might as well use this chance to boost your strength.”

“Keke, kid, I, this noble one, am too precious to be slaughtered on a whim.”

Ji Wuqing was furiously indignant upon hearing this, twisting his body, though he was also restrained and unable to make any movements for the moment.

Li Xiaobai was speechless. Scared of death, just admit it. Why put on such an act?

“Rest assured, I have a brilliant plan.”

“You impudent brat, since you’re unwilling to cooperate, then I, as Sect Master, have no choice but to act personally to extract the information I desire!”

The Qi Sect Sect Master suddenly made his move, pointing into the void with a finger tinged with threads of purple-black aura. This was a soul-searching technique, which could directly refine memories from the Primordial Spirit. Those subjected to soul-searching would, at best, become imbeciles, and at worst, die on the spot.

Zhen Tiannan and Zhong Daoquan’s expressions changed drastically as they rushed to intercept that finger in the void.

They hadn’t expected the Qi Sect Sect Master to be so crafty, appearing enraged on the surface yet simply wanting to monopolize the experience through the soul-searching technique.

Similarly, two streaks of light flew past, and in an instant, the sinister finger in the void shattered into pieces, scattering like a violent wind.

“Zhen Tiannan, Zhong Daoquan, what are you doing? Why do you obstruct me!” the Qi Sect Sect Master said in a fit of rage.

“Yan Xiaoqi, quit the act. You just want to monopolize the secrets on this child, but your acting and tactics are far too crude. An old man who has cultivated for hundreds of years, how could you possibly lose your temper over a junior?” Zhen Tiannan spoke calmly, already considering the idea of killing Li Xiaobai right there.

After all, this was the Elixir Sect’s main hall. If Li Xiaobai died here, the Elixir Sect couldn’t escape blame. Even if Elder Tianwu came knocking in the future, they would have ample reasons and excuses to absolve themselves.

“Zhen Tiannan, don’t harbor petty schemes. The Three Sects share a common breath; if one sect suffers an incident, the other two cannot escape involvement,” Zhong Daoquan glanced at Zhen Tiannan, seeing through his petty schemes.

The smiling elder surnamed Jiang watched everything unfolding before him. He was just a passerby; obtaining the secrets from Li Xiaobai would be enough for him. The overt struggle and covert battles between the Three Sects were none of his concern.

But at that moment, Li Xiaobai, who had been under restraint, suddenly became enveloped in a golden light.

“Stop arguing, the kid is trying to escape!” Yan Xiaoqi suddenly roared.

Startled, the two turned to look in the direction of the main hall’s entrance.

Li Xiaobai had already activated two Instant Transmission Talismans by now, enveloped in golden light, ready to teleport away in a thought.

“The Three Sects along with Fire Qilin Cave, in broad daylight, in the clear and open sky, have openly kidnapped the little princess of the Treasure Pavilion. I fear you don’t know that I am here to protect Lady Liu. Now that the lady is in trouble, I’m going back to the Treasure Pavilion to report!”

“Defying advice and attacking the guardians of the Treasure Pavilion, prepare to meet your deaths!”

“The green hills shall not change, the rivers shall flow forever; today’s enmity is now forged. Goodbye to you!”

With that, a golden light flashed, and in an instant, a man and a chicken vanished from the spot, leaving behind a confused crowd of seasoned powerhouses amidst the chaotic winds.

Zhong Daoquan’s face turned ugly; he had never imagined that Li Xiaobai could have such a method to escape from the grasp of Great Crossing Realm Cultivators and even manage to set them up like this.

The little princess of the Treasure Pavilion is currently in his Elixir Sect’s grand hall; if Li Xiaobai spread word outside, not even ten mouths would be able to clear his name. freēwēbnovel.com

This kid is really so cunning!

“Yan Xiaoqi, you useless thing, you couldn’t even hold a junior; what good are you?”

Zhong Daoquan said coldly. Everything had taken place within the Elixir Sect; should trouble arise, his sect would undoubtedly take the blame.

“Exactly, a disgrace! You’ve lived all these years only to embarrass yourself like this; you can’t even guard one person. The boy just now also used a talisman, didn’t he? And you, as the Sect Master of the Qi Sect, didn’t even notice, nor did you find a way to counter it. You’ve really lowered the standard of our Three Sects!”

Zhen Tiannan was also furiously cursing. In his view, Li Xiaobai’s magic treasure was magical indeed, but it should not have been enough to escape from the hands of a Great Crossing Realm Cultivator. Li Xiaobai’s easy escape was surely because Yan Xiaoqi deliberately overestimated himself.

Yan Xiaoqi was suffering in silence; he swore that he had truly confined him earnestly, but still, the boy had escaped. The talisman that the boy possessed was definitely not simple—it was a rare space-jumping talisman.

As expected, this youngster harbors great secrets; it is not just merely Huazi’s ancient alchemy.

“Fellow Sect Masters, let’s first make sure Lady Liu is well-settled. I believe it won’t be long before the Treasure Pavilion comes back to the Elixir Sect to retrieve her.”

The elder with the surname Jiang spoke slowly. Such an event was beyond his expectations as well; Yan Xiaoqi’s competence was lacking, and even a thought of seizing control of the Qi Sect crossed his mind.

“Right, Elder Sun, quickly take Lady Liu to the best guest room and spare no effort. Otherwise, you will answer for it!”

Zhong Daoquan said. The expert from Fire Qilin Cave was right; with Li Xiaobai’s interference, the Treasure Pavilion would definitely hear about it. Kidnapping the Treasure Pavilion’s granddaughter is tantamount to being tired of living.

They must treat her with the best food and wine to ensure that when her family comes to search for her, they will find Liu Fei safe and sound.

“Yes!”

Elder Sun turned and took away the dazed Liu Fei.

At that moment, Liu Fei had given up on trying to understand what was happening around her. The turn of events was too swift, leaving her not knowing where to start thinking. She simply let Elder Sun take her away.

Ergouzi, standing by, covertly let out a sigh of relief—as expected, Li Xiaobai managed to escape.

But Ergouzi had not anticipated that the Three Sects’ Sect Masters would be so vicious. Should an opportunity arise in the future, Ergouzi thought, it would be necessary to get the three sects under control.

“Someone, send out the notice—stop the use of all Teleportation Formations within Central City, distribute his portrait, and capture Li Xiaobai with a heavy reward!”

Zhong Daoquan quickly began assigning tasks. Now that the situation had escalated, they could only press on; Li Xiaobai couldn’t have gone far and was still likely within Central City. If they could capture him first, it would still be a victory for the Three Sects.

“Indeed, send out the disciples to search as well. Tighten the inspection at every city gate and scrutinize every cultivator entering or leaving the city!”

Zhen Tiannan ordered his elders; the situation was botched, not only did they let Li Xiaobai escape, but they had also offended Elder Tianwu and the Treasure Pavilion, making the aftermath tricky to handle.

Regardless, this event wasn’t entirely without gain, as they had learned the art of ancient alchemy. If they could mass-produce the product like Huazi, the disciples of their sects would surely rise rapidly. When that time came, the position of the Three Sects would be even more secure—possibly even on par with the old powers!
