Chapter 622: 622: Troublesome Constitution
Although these people were curious about what they were delivering, they were not allowed to open it.
They could only leave hastily!
Even their companions’ bodies couldn’t be handled, they had to burn them with fire.
Luckily, there was no trouble afterwards.
On the way, besides Jiang Xiaobai and Huo Shuyu, a porcelain doll with a blank face, everyone was extremely tense.
However, no dangers occurred until the evening, which made them feel slightly relieved.
The White Cat also set its gaze on Jiang Xiaobai.
“Jiang Bai, you’re not simple,” said the White Cat, his eyes flickering with the reflection of the campfire.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded: “Perhaps, I never thought to deceive you guys, it’s just that…”
“I understand. Everyone has their secrets outside. But you staying with us so far is already very good.”
The White Cat laughed, “Without you and Shuyu, perhaps we would all be finished.”
What could they do? During the previous fights, Jiang Xiaobai had shown an awesome capability.
Peak masters at the late stage of fusion seemed like nothing in front of him, easily killed!
And Huo Shuyu was also very terrifying. This woman, who looked like a porcelain doll, was really ruthless when she killed.
And she did it with great ease.
Regarding this, Jiang Xiaobai was very curious: “Is Huo Shuyu also from a rich family?”
“I’m not sure about that. Everyone has their own secrets. If she doesn’t tell us, we won’t ask.”
The White Cat sighed, “When she first ran to our Escort Bureau all covered in wounds, we kindly took her in, thinking that we would send her away the next day. After all, we didn’t want to get involved in any trouble.”
“But she didn’t want to leave, so she just stayed.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded without asking more. He could feel from their simple interaction that Huo Shuyu was not a simple woman.
And this woman was too indifferent, he hasn’t seen her speak since he met her!
Presumably, there was no way they could ask her for information.
But what does this have to do with him?
They spent two hours at night making arrangements, to quickly deliver the goods, they set out under the cover of darkness.
There were no problems along the way until they entered a small village filled with dead bodies and rivers of blood.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill crawl up their spine, and they were extremely alert.
“Boss, don’t tell me this is our delivery destination?”
Black Snake stammered.
The White Cat also frowned deeply, looking around for any signs of danger, but all he could see were the bodies on the ground.
It was obvious that the village had been slaughtered by others, likely for the goods they were delivering.
“The person who will meet us is an old man with white hair. As proof, he will be wearing a jade ring on his…”
Before the White Cat could finish speaking, Red Hair pointed towards a big tree ahead.
“Boss, is that the person you’re talking about?”
Everyone looked over to see the body of an old man with white hair hanging from a tree, with fresh blood dripping down constantly.
On the thumb of his right hand was a jade ring!
Gulp!
The White Cat swallowed and quickly retreated, but it was too late. Ten figures suddenly appeared all around them.
All of them gave off the terrifying presence of the early stage peak of Tribulation!
These ten people quickly launched an attack. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t hesitate to take action.
His sword struck through the air, creating a shocking sword light!
Although it was broad daylight, the light from the sword glow was still as dazzling as a star!
Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique!
Since arriving in this Star Purgatory World, Jiang Xiaobai has yet to display his true strength to such a degree.
The moment they saw the sword light, everyone’s heads exploded in fear!
Such power was too horrific, it seemed as vicious and fearsome as the devastating forces of nature, accompanied by the uncontrollable spiritual power fluctuations.
The powerful forces swept over!
Those who directly faced Jiang Xiaobai’s attack were frightened, after all, they were masters of the Tribulation Period and had a short reaction time.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have enough time to react!
Before they could defend themselves, the sword light had already engulfed them, leaving no one behind!
Seeing this, everyone turned towards Jiang Xiaobai, even the always cold and indifferent Huo Shuyu looked at him with surprise.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t elaborate and was about to take action against the remaining people when they ran away like dickens.
Jiang Xiaobai was a little taken aback.
“Hey, you guys should not run away so cleanly, damn it!”
Jiang Xiaobai wanted to give chase, but thinking about the situation, he finally gave up.
If he rushed out like this, who knew if there were other people behind him who would attack the White Cat and the others.
After resolving the crisis, Jiang Xiaobai sheathed his sword, and nodded at everyone.
Everyone was still stunned and couldn’t recover. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai sighed and walked forward to check the bodies of the dead men in black.
However, he didn’t find any clues. At this moment, Huo Shuyu spoke up suddenly.
“People from Sky Clearing Tower.”
Her voice was cold and crisp with a unique flavor.
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned: “What? You know them?”
“I’ve heard of them, the markings on their arms are unique to the Sky Clearing Tower.”
Huo Shuyu turned over one of their arms, “This time it’s a bit troublesome, once targeted by the Sky Clearing Tower, it’s hard to shake them off.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the White Cat and others turned ashen.
Of course they had heard the name Sky Clearing Tower!
This area was collectively referred to as Xuanling State, it was vast with at least a million miles of territory.
There were countless complicated forces in the area, and the Bright Moon City they were in belonged to the Iron Horse Dynasty.
In the Iron Horse Dynasty, the name Sky Clearing Tower rang loud. Just this force alone made the Dynasty show no small amount of respect.
Sometimes the Dynasty even dared not meddle in their affairs.
Not only because the Sky Clearing Tower was powerful, but it was rumored that they had a terrifying backer.
“We’re done, really done this time!”
The White Cat knelt on the ground in despair.
He couldn’t understand how they had provoked the Sky Clearing Tower just by taking a job?
“The only problem lies with the goods we are transporting. Maybe if we look at it, we will know everything.”
Jiang Xiaobai quirked an eyebrow, “We’re in so deep now, there’s no need to follow the rules. Survival is what’s important.”
“Besides, the recipient is dead, it’s not worth dying for this thing.”
The White Cat was also quick to react, hastily nodded and took out the storage ring.
There was only a transparent crystal inside.
And when you looked at it in the air, you could see a myriad of colorful lights flashing inside the crystal.
It was strange and wonderful.
“So this, just for a lousy stone, is it worth it?” Jiang Xiaobai said in pause.
Just then, Huo Shuyu suddenly grabbed the crystal from the White Cat’s hand.
“This is not the kind of stone you’re talking about.”
As she spoke, Jiang Xiaobai could feel the gleam in her eyes.
