Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 216 - 179: Spirit Charm Mountain Crisis (Extended - )
"Brother Bai, Brother Xiang said he has some matters to attend to and will be delayed for a while..."
Just as she met Zhou Libai returning from Lingyuan Peak.
Jiang Ribai’s mouth twitched slightly in annoyance.
"Brother Bai, this is my spirit bird. Please take a look, it indeed does not possess spiritual blood..."
Li An presented the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow with both hands.
Jiang Ribai took it nonchalantly, glanced at it, and coldly took out a small silver knife, lightly slicing the leg of the little red bird—
Li An frowned, a murderous intent already flickering in his heart.
This Jiang Ribai was going too far!
Jiang Ribai casually inspected, but when he saw the claws of the little red bird, he paused slightly for a moment before returning the spirit bird to Li An, with a faux smile, "Apologies, Brother Lin, Mountain Master Bai has commanded, I’m just following orders—"
Li An breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party hadn’t discovered any issues.
"This spirit bird indeed has no spiritual blood, but its claws are exceptionally tough, like fire claws... May I know, Brother Lin, where did you get this spirit bird?"
Jiang Ribai suddenly asked again.
Li An’s heart sank, "Brother Lin is unaware... I merely encountered this bird by chance in a mountain area of Ping Country."
Jiang Ribai nodded and smiled slightly, "Though this spirit bird lacks spiritual blood, it surely has some talent. I have some good spiritual food on hand, specifically for rearing Rank Four Divine Birds like the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow. I’ll bring some over another day, it might be useful for Brother Lin."
"Hmm, in this hurried visit, I only brought these, please, Brother Lin, accept them."
He took out a small box of spiritual food and handed it to Li An.
Jiang Ribai was no ordinary person, naturally understanding the concept of combining grace and power. Earlier, Li An was made to feel embarrassed, understanding the difference in status, and now by showing goodwill, it was a way to win respect.
After all, both are at the True Core stage, and he didn’t want to completely make an enemy of someone formidable.
However, what he didn’t know was that with these words, Li An’s heart had already fueled a thought to kill!
Because Jiang Ribai’s actions made Li An unsure... did this fellow really notice something?
Mentioning the claws of the Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow, then intentionally offering the spiritual food specific to it? Was this a test?
Even though Li An knew this was likely just a coincidence, Jiang Ribai probably hadn’t noticed anything, but even with a slight risk, it must be eliminated...
This Jiang Ribai absolutely cannot be left alive.
Must find an opportunity to kill him.
With the intent to kill rising, Li An displayed a fervent expression of gratitude, accepting Jiang Ribai’s gift, and said:
"Thank you Brother Bai, thank you Brother Bai... Next time if there’s anything, please Brother Bai do not hesitate to instruct, Brother Lin will personally attend!"
Indicating a stance.
Jiang Ribai laughed heartily, feeling this Lin An was indeed sensible.
He achieved his desired effect, after all, it wouldn’t be long before he was to join the Demon Race with the Great Lizard demon scion, perhaps managing a faction, so doing these things in advance seemed necessary from his perspective.
"What in the world could it be? You have to disturb me?"
In this moment, an angry voice already resounded from outside.
Xiang Yuntian had arrived, appearing somewhat disheveled, untidy in appearance, with stubble all over, and furrowed brows.
Jiang Ribai’s smile immediately faded, his eyes growing cold, compared to Lin An, this Xiang Yuntian was truly unappreciative!
Not coming to greet was one thing, he dared to be late even when summoned, and now showed such arrogance?
"I am Bai Jiang."
He spoke calmly, having wielded power within the Jiang Clan for years, had formed a habit of first demonstrating power then bestowing grace, even if he wasn’t rising to treat Xiang Yuntian as a mortal enemy, he still spoke from a superior position:
"I called you over, you are very displeased?"
Xiang Yuntian glanced at Jiang Ribai.
Just a glance.
He suddenly drew his sword, a white arc flashed, fiercely slashing towards Jiang Ribai—
Everyone present was taken aback, Jiang Ribai’s form glowed, blocking the strike, but he was still forced to retreat—
"What do you mean by this?!"
Jiang Ribai’s expression changed dramatically, with traces of shock, he could feel... this sword cultivator was too powerful!
Though only at the Mid-Stage True Core, the strength of the sword qi made even him, a Late-Stage True Core expert, feel pressured.
"You call yourself Bai Jiang,"
Xiang Yuntian stared at Jiang Ribai, with evil qi rolling in his eyes, as if a volcano about to erupt, filled with malevolence, he said:
"Just with the surname Bai, you think you’re Mountain Master Bai?"
"Who the hell do you think you are, daring to act so arrogantly in front of me? I gave you face, didn’t I?!"
"Do you have a death wish? Are you courting death?!"
His spiritual power frantically infused into the sword, the whole person was about to erupt, "Zhou Libai, you harlot, take your man and get lost..."
"And you, Brother Lin, you’re not bad... leave!"
He apparently couldn’t suppress the evil qi within himself anymore.
Nearing the edge of losing control in madness!
"You... you’re about to lose control!"
Jiang Ribai was taken aback, realizing it too, his heart instantly filled with regret!
Hell, you can provoke anyone, but not a madman.
Madmen don’t adhere to common sense.
If he had known Xiang Yuntian’s issue was this severe, he sure would have stayed far away.
Now he’s caught in the crossfire!
Primarily, he hadn’t encountered such people for years, those cultivating in the mountains here knew to prepare some Purifying Evil Pills or similar for safety, seldom seen anyone driving themselves to the brink of madness!
"Xiang Yuntian—"
And yet Zhou Libai coldly shouted, suddenly activating the array on Lingdong Peak, a profound array resounded, an inexplicable coolness immediately filled the entire peak.
