Chapter 138: May I take a bit of your ti?
The man who called himself Zuo Lan was dead, killed by Jiang Hao’s sword.
Perhaps he never imagined that Jiang Hao would strike, or even if he did, he wouldn’t have known that Jiang Hao would act so swiftly.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Jiang Hao turned to the two young teenagers.
Their faces were pale, and they leaned against the wall, so frightened they could barely stand.
Even though they were precocious, even though the boy had determination in his eyes, the sight of Jiang Hao killing still filled them with panic.
In a breath, this panic could spread throughout their bodies.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao threw out two spiritual swords: “You have two choices. One, I will arrange for you to be placed in a normal household to live an ordinary life. Two, draw the sword and stab the fallen person, and I will have soone take you as a disciple, entering another world where you could die at any mont. Of course, with danger cos the potential for power and longevity.”
Looking at the two, Jiang Hao simply laid out the facts. He did not intend to explain further.
He certainly didn’t plan to bring them back to the Tianyin Sect.
He just wanted to find them a master; their future would depend on their own fate and choices.
At that mont, the boy nad Tie Dan was the first to pick up the sword.
Clenching his teeth, he took the first step, overcoming the fear in his heart.
The girl also picked up a sword, her hand trembling as she drew it, but she too moved closer to the corpse.
After hesitating for a while, they both stabbed down.
At first, they were sowhat fearful, but then they began to vent.
It wasn’t until the corpse was reduced to nothing that Jiang Hao led them away. Before leaving, he delivered two more slashes.
Both the head and the body were struck twice.
He wandered around inside, but did not see another clone of Zuo Lan. It felt like a pity.
‘I’ll have to go sowhere else then, fortunately, there are two more places.’
With a decision in mind, Jiang Hao first went to find Shi Xin to ask if he had any plans to take on disciples.
Tie Dan and Chun Yu held the spiritual swords tightly, following closely behind Jiang Hao.
They didn’t speak, only Chun Yu was silently crying, her body not in good shape.
The two followed Jiang Hao with difficulty, not daring to relax for a mont.
They knew that if they lost him, their fate would go from good to tragic.
On the streets, Shi Xin, who was running a stall, saw Golden Core powerhouses chasing each other in the distance, eventually leaving the market.
This surprised him.
There were so many Golden Core powerhouses in the market.
Just now, he felt the presence of four Golden Core powerhouses, and their aura seed much stronger than that of the Chen family’s patriarch.
After a mont of reflection, he didn’t pay it any further mind.
As long as it didn’t affect this area, all was well.
“That seems to be where Zuo Lan sells talented disciples; I wonder if Jiang Daoist friend was affected.”
Shi Xin was curious, but he continued to run his stall.
He was extrely poor now.
Although these items weren’t valuable, selling them for so spirit stones was still good.
Today’s biggest gain was that he finally obtained the Heaven Replenishing Pill.
By the end of the year, he could try to break through to the complete stage of Foundation Establishnt.
Afterward, he can prepare for the attack on the Golden Core, continue to save spirit stones, and then find soone to purchase the Heaven Replenishing Pill.
A few days before deciding whether to buy, he’ll make his breakthrough.
That way, he won’t attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Once he successfully advances, all threats will recede.
“Why is Brother Shi setting up a stall here?” soone suddenly asked.
Shi Xin looked up to see three n approaching. Two middle-aged n with an elder following behind them.
“Chieftain Chen.”
Shi Xin stood up and politely said, “I’m here to sell so small items.”
Chen Baixiao, the chieftain of the Chen family, appeared middle-aged with streaks of white in his hair and was at the early stage of Golden Core cultivation.
A true powerhouse.
“Brother Shi, if you need anything, just speak to our people. There’s no need for you to do sothing like this,” Chen Baixiao said with a smile.
Then he pointed to a black-haired man with a square face and a sowhat indifferent deanor and said, “This is Brother Jin.”
“Senior Jin,” Shi Xin said respectfully.
The fact that this man could walk alongside Chieftain Chen suggested that their strengths were not far apart.
It was only natural for Shi Xin, who was at the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, to address him as ‘senior.’
Jin Yuan nodded casually, his face showing disdain.
“I heard there was so trouble inside, does Brother Shi want to join us?” Chen Baixiao invited.
“Thank you, Chieftain Chen, but I’ve promised a fellow Daoist to save a spot for him, so I won’t be going,” Shi Xin said with an apologetic face.
The conflict involved Golden Core level individuals; as soone at the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, going there would be akin to courting death.
It was better to stay put.
“Brother Shi, the family kindly invites you, and with two Golden Core seniors accompanying you, what are you worried about?” Elder Chen said coldly from behind.
He had just sold the Azure Red Sky and imdiately went to find the chieftain.
It just so happened that he saw the chieftain with an honored guest and followed them.
The spirit stones had already been handed over.
They were also curious about that custor; if there was no issue on Zuo Lan’s side, they would like to et this person again.
“It seems Chieftain Chen’s face isn’t that great,” Jin Yuan said with a laugh.
For a mont, Chen Baixiao’s expression darkened.
“No, not at all, it just so happens that I was about to head over as well. It is an honor for to accompany Chieftain Chen,” Shi Xin said, not even glancing at his stall items as he prepared to leave.
He dared not delay any further; the others wanted to pull him in as a pawn.
The situation was stronger than the individual.
Just as he stepped away from the stall, another voice ca through:
“Is Brother Shi busy?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Xin looked up to see Jiang Hao coming over with two children.
Seeing this, he could only smile and say,
“Brother Jiang, you’ve co at the right ti. The stall is yours now.”
At this mont, Elder Chen quietly introduced Jiang Hao to Chieftain Chen.
Seeing Jiang Hao here was a surprise.
Hearing that Jiang Hao was the one who bought the Azure Red Sky, Chieftain Chen beca interested:
“Would this friend have so ti to sit with Chen inside?”
“Who are you?” Jiang Hao asked politely.
He had never seen the other party before.
However, given the early Golden Core cultivation, he must be a notable person from the vicinity.
“Friend, this is our Chieftain Chen. With the chieftain here, it will be much easier for you to buy whatever you want,” Elder Chen introduced.
He thought Jiang Hao would apologize in fear and trepidation upon hearing this, but instead, Jiang Hao just nodded slightly.
Jin Yuan scoffed again.
“Seeing the reaction, it seems Chieftain Chen’s status isn’t very useful.”
Chieftain Chen’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Jiang Hao and spoke in a low voice:
“Are you very busy, friend?”
Shi Xin was making eye signals to Jiang Hao, but it seed like he didn’t notice at all.
Early Golden Core was indeed strong, but Jiang Hao had no interest in accompanying them.
It would be a waste of ti.
However, among these people, there was one who caught his attention.
At this mont, he was staring at Jin Yuan, feeling that his aura was close to that of Po Lang and the others.
The urgent task was to find Zuo Lan and obtain the Secret Whisper Slate.
“May I ask you a few questions?” he addressed Jin Yuan.
“Friend...” Chieftain Chen’s expression darkened.
Jiang Hao glanced at him, apologizing:
“I’ll take a bit of your ti, just two or three questions.”
Boom!
The aura of early Golden Core burst forth from Chen Baixiao:
“Friend, it seems you lack manners.”
Clang!
Half-Moon was unsheathed, and with one slash, Chen Baixiao’s neck was almost severed.
Blood spurted out instantly.
Jiang Hao looked at him calmly and said:
“May I take a bit of your ti?”
