Chapter 1208: Chapter 1209: Beichen Feng's Scroll Chapter 1208: Chapter 1209: Beichen Feng's Scroll Meng Qi left filled with both enthusiasm and confusion. The enthusiasm was because Li Xiaobai's impassioned speech made her feel that she was not alone in her journey, while the confusion stemmed from the fact that there were only two days left, so why hadn't this senior taught her the surefire way to win earlier?
Could it be that this guaranteed strategy to seize the position of Saint Heir didn't require any practice?
But after all, he is a big shot and also a top expert of the Demon Sealing Sect, managing countless affairs daily. Presumably, he had his own considerations; she just needed to cooperate peacefully. Having such a big shot secretly supporting her within the sect made her feel very secure.
There shouldn't be an issue with stealing intelligence from the Blood Demon Sect and conveying it out!
After sending Meng Qi away, Li Xiaobai took a long breath; he had thought he was truly exposed, but it turned out that it was the Demon-Sealing Sword Qi that had given him away. Very good, excellent, thanks to the Demon-Sealing Sword Qi, he now had an extra loyal subordinate.
For these two days, people in the sect had been surveilling him, not just the Blood Fiend Elder, but Xueshenzi too, confirming his true identity. Going to the Blood Pool to investigate could not be done too often as it was an improper action, and he didn't plan to go out. He just acquired a cultivating method for the Heart of the Blood Demon, so retreating into solitude for these two days was also common.
The two days passed in a flash.
On the morning of the third day.
Inside the cave dwelling.
After two days of utter boredom, Li Xiaobai gradually clarified some matters. Previously, he had been busy dealing with various matters and hadn't had time to thoroughly think through the implications behind this issue, especially why Beichen Feng, the Helmsman of the Enforcement Team of the Eastern Continent, would initiate the proposal for him to come to the Blood Demon Sect. The other party must be planning to utilize him to do something within the Blood Demon Sect.
Beichen Feng always concealed his true identity and would not personally come inside the Blood Demon Sect. The only link between them was that pair of painted scrolls he had taken. These scrolls concealed a big secret; however, he couldn't perceive the deeper meanings within them due to the protection from the System, and would instantly come to his senses.
He carefully unfolded the scroll again to examine it; it still depicted “The Two Children Debate the Sun.” It was a masterpiece from a Saint Realm powerhouse. He didn't dare to unfold it casually for others to see, unable to identify any hidden truth within.
He opened the small wooden box and took out Ji Wuqing.
“Xiao Ji, take a look at this scroll and see if there's anything unusual about it.”
Li Xiaobai laid the scroll in front of Ji Wuqing and cheerfully said.
“Tch, weakling, aren't these just two little brats?”
Ji Wuqing glanced over it dismissively, but suddenly the small yellow body trembled violently as if seeing a ghost, starting to hop around on the spot, shrieking in alarm, “What the heck is this, it's so hot, so hot, it's burning me!”
Staring at him, Ji Wuqing seemed completely unharmed from the outside, but kept shouting about the heat, eventually collapsing and rolling on the ground, breathless.
“Hiss, is this the power of the scroll?”
Li Xiaobai was somewhat puzzled, like the decree previously written by the Blood Demon, this scroll also targeted the Divine Soul. Ji Wuqing's cries about being scalded must have been because his Divine Soul was drawn into the scroll's ambiance and experienced some great horror, ultimately dying.
Two hours later.
On the floor, the limp little yellow chicken suddenly bounced three feet high and lunged straight onto Li Xiaobai's face.
“Damn!”
“You sneaky little brat, how dare you trick your lord Ji Wuqing!”
Ji Wuqing was furious, unexpectedly dying another inexplicable death which greatly infuriated it.
“Don't be so angry, tell me, what did you see in the scroll?”
Li Xiaobai threw a bag of top-grade Immortal Stones at him, containing thousands of them. Ji Wuqing grabbed it in its arms and swallowed them, its expression visibly softened.
“Is that it?”
“You don't dare to look yourself and made me do it. You're really sly and need to compensate for my emotional distress!”
Ji Wuqing said viciously.
“Snap!”
Another premium Immortal Stone thrown down, Li Xiaobai smiled and said, “Can you talk now?”
Seeing another premium Immortal Stone falling, Ji Wuqing instantly burst into laughter, his previous annoyance completely swept away as he chuckled, “This scroll contains great terror, I advise you not to look at it, otherwise, you won't even know how you died. Only a heaven-sent genius like me can peek into this mystery.”
“Then I implore Lord Ji to give his humble junior some pointers.”
Li Xiaobai was also chuckling, this fellow was still as easy to handle as ever, a few thousand premium Immortal Stones just to send him off, no progress at all.
“Hehe, there are two little brats in this scroll arguing about when the sun is closer, and when it's further, isn't that just like talking nonsense?”
“So, I told them, little brats should study well, aim high, strive hard to become the pillars of the country, what does it matter to them whether the sun is near or far?”
“Somehow, the sun suddenly grew bigger, and it got closer and closer to me until I was burnt to death.”
Ji Wuqing recounted what he saw in the scroll, his body shivering involuntarily, looking somewhat frightened. The scene in the scroll truly made him feel fear; that blazing sun was still etched in his heart.
“So that's how it is.”
Li Xiaobai nodded, considering in his mind that the scroll possessed the power of the blazing sun, capable of burning one's Divine Soul, this was a great discovery, but Ji Wuqing died too quickly, only probing a part of the power in the scroll, there must be even more terrifying powers that have not been revealed.
“Bro Ji, let's make a deal, why not appreciate this scroll a bit more? I'll give you three thousand premium Immortal Stones as appreciation fee, how does that sound?”
Li Xiaobai looked at Ji Wuqing with a hint of malice in his eyes.
Ji Wuqing froze, then his tiny body swiftly turned into a streak of yellow lightning and drilled into a small wooden box, “I'll take my leave!”
“Damn, failure at a crucial time.”
Li Xiaobai cursed and collected the scroll. He would explore it later; today is Meng Qi's day to challenge the six mansions and three caves, he still had to provide his precious disciple some winning Magic Treasures!
“Thump thump thump!”
Someone knocked on the door from outside.
Opening the door, he saw the Blood Fiend Elder standing outside, smiling at him.
“Bald brother, the trial of the six mansions and three caves is about to begin, that little girl has already gone ahead, shall we go as well?”
“Turns out I forgot about the time, thank you.”
Li Xiaobai bowed with hands clasped and said with a smile.
“Let's go, have you given the junior any advice?”
The Blood Fiend Elder laughed.
“Of course, merely a Saint Heir, with my help, it's easily obtainable, how could there be any reason for failure?”
Li Xiaobai said proudly.
“Very well, with our two families forming a strong alliance, we can also have a place within this sect.”
The Blood Fiend Elder nodded, his worries alleviated, and Li Xiaobai's confidence made him somewhat look forward to Meng Qi's performance. However, the next words from Li Xiaobai caught him off-guard.
“Speaking of which, Blood Fiend Elder, you were there when I took her as a disciple, the customary gift hasn't been given yet. Later, casually prepare a couple of Magic Treasures from Saint Realm cultivators for my disciple, don't forget.”
