Chapter 576: Chapter 576: And you’re still letting me go?

The man would never have thought that a bit of his own greed would lead to the current situation.

What he couldn’t have imagined even more, was that Jiang Xiaobai surprisingly was able to pass three trial stages within such a short span of time, becoming the first one in history!

His status had even surged to the level of an overseer. It could be said that without even needing Xu Lingling to intervene, Jiang Xiaobai could toy with him easily!

“Please show mercy, overseer, I didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Spare me this time, I’ll never dare to take it again, I beg of you, overseer, spare me this time!”

Unfortunately, no matter how much he pleaded for mercy, there was no way that Xu Lingling would listen.

She casually struck a blast of black thunder, which hit the man instantly, turning him into a charcoal-black lump.

“Throw him out, place the corpse at the entrance as a warning to others!” Xu Lingling ordered coldly.

Immediately, two guardians rushed in to clean up the mess.

With regard to the man’s death, Jiang Xiaobai felt absolutely nothing.

Even though he did not intend to kill the guy, the way the man had acted before in the outside world clearly indicated that it wasn’t his first time doing this.

Knowing that what he did could lead to his death, he still dared to proceed with it. If he didn’t die, then who should?

However, Jiang Xiaobai found Xu Lingling’s ability to wield lightning quite interesting.

Among the various natural laws, the destructive power of the Thunder Law is undoubtedly the strongest.

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly thought, if he could use the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, wouldn’t he be unbeatable?

“Why, you seem quite regretful?” Xu Lingling asked in surprise.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: “Not really, I’m just curious about how you did that. Is it some sort of martial arts technique?”

“Hehe, it’s not really a technique, it’s the effect of the overseer’s token.”

Xu Lingling explained, handing over an overseer’s token to Jiang Xiaobai.

“This token can mobilize the power of the forbidden area, but it can only be used within it. If you go out, it’s just a piece of scrap iron.”

“Now let’s talk about that ‘opportunity’ I mentioned.”

Xu Lingling promptly switched topics, explaining the so-called opportunity.

As Jiang Xiaobai had guessed, the passage marked with a circle would transport him to the abyss of the netherworld.

The trial within the Abyss of the Netherworld was the opportunity Xu Lingling had spoken of.

She didn’t know what was inside the trial. All she knew was that anyone who passed the three trials in one go would have such a chance.

“Strange, haven’t you tried that trial?” Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise.

Although he didn’t know why Gu Ning compelled him to participate in the trial in Abyss of the Netherworld, he did know that trials generally offer benefits.

Since the Abyss Forbidden Area was connected to the Abyss of the Netherworld, why didn’t the people here go there?

“I did, and I almost died there.”

Xu Lingling chuckled lightly, “It’s really dangerous in there. I feel that if I don’t reach the peak of the Great Achievement stage and have various means at my disposal, there’s no way I could pass that trial.”

“What the hell, you still want me to go?” Jiang Xiaobai instinctively shouted out.

“Hehe, it’s just an opportunity. There are many trials and many opportunities. Nobody knows what you might encounter.”

“What if you actually have a chance to complete the entire trial?”

Jiang Xiaobai immediately rolled his eyes, ‘what if…’

The most unreliable thing in the world is a ‘what if.’ In a world where power is paramount, can one survive and seize opportunities solely based on ‘what if’?

The answer, obviously, is no.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care to discuss much with Xu Lingling, he was eager to take a look at the Abyss of the Netherworld.

But he was stopped by Xu Lingling.

“There’s nothing in the Abyss of the Netherworld right now, only dangers. There are countless ferocious monsters there that don’t belong to our world, and their power is immense.”

“I admit you have some skills, but I also guarantee that you won’t survive in there for a month.”

“I advise you to go there after a month.”

At those words, Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his brow.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Is there any particular precaution about going there?”

For a moment, Xu Lingling didn’t know how to explain to Jiang Xiaobai. Was she supposed to tell him that more people would come later?

It was unnecessary.

Thus, she didn’t say much afterwards, and Jiang Xiaobai didn’t ask again either. He was well aware that he was not very powerful.

Anyway, according to Xu Lingling, the gateway leads to the Abyss of the Netherworld.

After walking for another two or three days, he would arrive at the place where the trial altar was located.

Seeing as he had an opportunity to enter at any time, there was no rush to go there so early. He might as well take advantage of this time interval to improve his spiritual power in the Forbidden Abyss.

The more power he has, the better his chances of survival when the time comes.

He had more or less understood why the system had declared that failure of the mission would result in the host being deposed.

Perhaps he doesn’t even need the system to act, he will die inside.

After saying his goodbyes to Xu Lingling, Jiang Xiaobai directly found a cultivation room in the forbidden area to enter.

Once he entered, he discovered that his cultivation speed here was at least ten times faster than outside.

If he added in the effect of the Lingshi, Jiang Xiaobai might even be able to match the strength of the rules in this place within a month.

Afterwards, he took out a communicator token and told Ao Yan that he was safe now and will close himself off for cultivation.

Ao Yan responded with a message stating her understanding.

Only then did Jiang Xiaobai show a faint smile.

“When I come back from the Abyss of the Netherworld, I should be safe. At that time, I will accompany you to travel around Tianxuan Continent.”

Jiang Xiaobai said to himself in his heart, then took out the Xianshi that Xu Lingling had given him beforehand.

There were three trials altogether, and a total of 300,000 lower grade Xianshi.

Having them was better than not having them, and he was reluctant to use a middle grade Xianshi now.

Immediately after, Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes, and a lengthy cultivation session began.

…

Within a small courtyard in the Saint City’s Blood Mist Pavilion…

Ao Yan sat alone outside, drinking tea. She was peacefully enjoying the afternoon tranquility by herself.

Thinking about the message Jiang Xiaobai had sent her earlier, she felt warm in her heart.

Being able to remember her while undergoing training outside was proof enough of everything.

“Sister? Why are you alone?”

Ao Cheng suddenly walked out of the cultivation room, and seeing Ao Yan, also looked excited: “Jiang Xiaobai has gone to train outside with his master, why don’t we go out for a walk too?”

“Being stuck here all the time for cultivation isn’t fun.”

Upon hearing this, though Ao Yan remained unmoved, a glint appeared in her eyes.

It was clear that she also was not a fan of staying cooped up in constant cultivation.

No one knew her sister better than Ao Cheng. With a single look from Ao Yan, he understood her thoughts.

Immediately, he called everyone out from the cultivation room. As soon as he suggested going out, everyone agreed without hesitation.

Just as they were discussing whether to go to the Northern Domain or the Southern Territory, a huge purple whirlpool appeared in the sky out of nowhere!

What followed was an incredibly terrifying aura descending from the sky!

Boom!

Such formidable power was palpable throughout the Saint City, let alone the Blood Mist Pavilion.

Everyone was shocked!

And from within the whirlpool, three figures emerged, their gazes cutting through space and falling directly on Ao Yan and Ao Cheng.
