Chapter 91 White Python Mansion Master, Bai Jiang!
One hundred li outside Little Dragon City.
There is a great river flowing from the northern source of the Canglan Mountain Range, running south for hundreds of thousands of li. Named White Dragon, it resembles a coiled flood dragon when viewed from high above.
The surging river water is nearly a thousand zhang wide at its narrowest point, while the widest places reach tens of thousands of zhang, crossing several large lakes.
Beside the White Dragon River lies a continuous mountain range spanning a thousand li, named Little White Dragon Mountain.
Inside Little White Dragon Mountain, halfway up a majestic peak near the river bank, a mansion stands against the mountain amidst the trees, looking magnificent and grand.
The sprawling complex of buildings stretching for miles below indicates the noble status of the person who established their residence here.
This is the dwelling place of the White Python Mansion Master.
At the White Python Mansion on the mountainside.
Guards stood in rows. Some tall and graceful maidens held exquisite plates filled with fine wine and delicacies, moving gracefully from the kitchen in the back courtyard toward the main hall of the mansion.
Inside the main hall.
On the high seat sat a resolute young man draped in a white robe embroidered with a white dragon. His long hair was neatly tied behind his head, and his eyes were filled with confidence.
His every move carried the aura of a superior being.
Sitting beside him as an equal was a black-robed man. His black robe was covered in ferocious human skulls, so vivid they did not look embroidered.
At this moment, the two were talking and laughing cheerfully.
Below them.
Singing and dancing maidens fluttered gracefully to the melodious music of the musicians, providing a particularly pleasing sight to the eyes.
"Thank you for the hospitality today, Brother Bai. If you have time to come to Black Wind Ridge, this younger brother will definitely make sure Brother is satisfied!"
Xiong Ba, dressed in black robes, drank all the fine wine in the pot in one gulp and laughed boldly.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiong is indeed a straightforward person. This younger brother coming to my humble abode is giving me, this big brother, face!"
White Python Mansion Master Bai Jiang said with a smile.
Although Bai Jiang was polite to this junior brother on the surface, it was only out of regard for Xiong Ba's father, who was a Unity Realm demon of his senior generation. Xiong Ba himself was just a person with average talent and even somewhat lazy.
Back then, they apprenticed under the Azure Dragon General together. Now, Bai Jiang has already become a Void Refinement Realm Sixth Heaven demon, while this Xiong Ba is still stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Heaven.
This time he came to find Bai Jiang because he knew Bai Jiang would definitely treat him warmly, coming specifically to seek some fun.
"This spirit wine is not bad. I wonder if Brother Bai can bear to part with it and prepare some for this younger brother?"
Xiong Ba drank a large mouthful of the spirit wine in his cup and felt a heat rising within his body, spreading throughout. The heat flow surged through his meridians, making his body extremely comfortable and even speeding up the circulation of his own spiritual energy by a fraction.
"This spirit wine is my White Python Mansion's specially made White Bone Spirit Wine. It produces ten jars of one hundred catties of spirit wine every thirty years. Since you like it, I will have my subordinates prepare a jar for Brother Xiong."
Bai Jiang said with a normal expression, a kind smile on his face.
"Go, bring a jar of White Bone Wine from the cellar for Young Master Xiong!"
Bai Jiang instructed a steward on the side.
"Yes, Mansion Master!"
The white-robed middle-aged steward on the side immediately walked down, heading straight for the wine cellar.
However, immediately after, when he turned sideways, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
This dandy really doesn't know his limits!
His specially made White Bone Spirit Wine was not easy to produce. He had only prepared a few taels of wine to treat the guest well upon learning Xiong Ba was coming, but he didn't expect this guy to just open his mouth and ask for it.
Now Bai Jiang just wished this Xiong Ba would leave early so he could enter closed-door cultivation!
"Thank you, Brother Bai!"
At this time, Xiong Ba, in contrast, had a smiling face. At the same time, his eyes looked somewhat lecherously at the slender singing and dancing maidens, seemingly searching for his playmate for tonight.
Just then.
Suddenly.
Bai Jiang, who was originally smiling, froze instantly.
He then put down the wine cup in his hand. With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, he took out a blood-red jade talisman from his storage bag.
This jade talisman was now in a cracked state, and a wisp of soul power remaining on it suddenly dissipated.
"How can this be!"
A look of surprise appeared in Bai Jiang's eyes.
This jade talisman was the Life Soul Talisman of the Black Rat Demon guarding Little Dragon City. If the talisman breaks, the soul is destroyed!
"This means that Black Rat Demon is dead!"
Bai Jiang's heart sank.
He did not care about the life or death of the Black Rat Demon. What he cared about was that the Black Rat Demon held the souls of human children collected in Little Dragon City over three months.
Those were all what his master, the Azure Dragon General, wanted. Once he lost them, he would not only have to face his master's scolding, but he probably wouldn't be given the third volume of the Record of the Long Wind Demon either.
"Damn it, who dares to rob my goods!"
A glint of cold light flashed in Bai Jiang's eyes.
The several forces around Little White Dragon Mountain all knew that these child souls were wanted by his master, the Azure Dragon General. So even if they had the guts of a leopard, they wouldn't dare play like this.
If using the process of elimination, then only human cultivators would do such a thing.
Suddenly.
Bai Jiang sensed a strange human aura entering his warning formation arranged thirty kilometers away, entering his sphere of influence.
However, under Bai Jiang's detection formation, the other party's realm strength seemed to be only at the False Core Realm.
"Just a False Core Realm human cultivator dares to come, truly not afraid of death!"
The corners of Bai Jiang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
He inferred that the purpose of this False Core Realm human cultivator was likely just to act as a scout.
If this human cultivator were a Unity Realm expert, he would now take Xiong Ba, abandon his mansion, and run away immediately!
He would dive into the White Dragon River without hesitation.
Since the other party is only at the False Core Realm, he is just material to be sent to his death.
"Brother, you watch first. A guest has arrived outside, I will go receive them!"
Bai Jiang said to Xiong Ba on the side.
"Okay, Brother!"
Xiong Ba cupped his hands slightly at Bai Jiang, then his gaze fell back upon the beautifully dancing women.
Bai Jiang stood up abruptly. With a single step, he crossed the entire hall as if teleporting, arriving outside.
Lin Xuan, standing on the green jade stone slab, gazed at the towering ridge of the distant mountain.
A spiritual light flashed within his deep blue eyes. His gaze locked onto the distant ridge, where a small human black dot was looking towards the White Python Mansion.
"Heh!"
Killing intent appeared in Bai Jiang's eyes.
Being cautious, he used the detection formation he had set up with great resources to carefully investigate the surrounding area. The person coming was only this one False Core Realm human expert; this was no different from sending himself to death!
"Killing my strategist, and then sending such trash to spy on my White Python Mansion, you are truly insulting me, Bai Jiang!"
Due to anger, a layer of fine white scales appeared on the side of his cheek. His whole temperament changed from gentle and refined to murderous and cold!
White robes fluttered, and killing intent surged!
"I'll take this human cultivator's dog life for sure!" Bai Jiang thought to himself.
