Chapter 535: Chapter 295: The Bai Family Ancestor Takes Action

Song Qing looked at the person before him, somewhat confused.

"You seem to know a lot about us," he asked.

"Yes, I’ve met all of you, so naturally I know a little," the man in white said.

He took a sip of soy milk and said softly, "It’s fate."

"It certainly is fate, then. The three of us all know each other, and you’ve run into all of us," Song Qing added. ’There are so many people in the Sect’s Outer Sect, yet he happened to meet just the three of us. It really is quite a coincidence.’

"This wasn’t fate," the man in white said, putting down his flatbread. "I sought you out specifically."

Hearing this, Song Qing froze for a moment, looking at him in confusion. "Why seek us out? Are you here to deal with us?"

The man in white looked at Song Qing and couldn’t help but chuckle. "Deal with you?"

Song Qing nodded.

"Do you look like you’re worth my effort?" the man in white chuckled. "People think differently. Someone as weak and ignorant as you would naturally assume I’m here to deal with you.

"But I don’t blame you.

"You don’t understand me, which is why you’d have such an absurd thought."

Hearing this, Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "My apologies, I was speaking nonsense. In that case, why did you seek us out?"

"Because of your boss," the man in white said.

Song Qing immediately asked, "Do you have a grudge against our boss?"

"Not really," the man in white said after a moment of thought. "I’m just curious. Of course, we could have a grudge."

Song Qing instantly grew wary. "What are you planning to do?"

The man in white looked at Song Qing with curiosity. "What do you think I’ll do?"

Song Qing shook his head, unable to be sure, but hazarded a guess anyway. "Grudges usually lead to revenge, and revenge leads to death."

The man in white asked, "You think I’m going to kill your boss?"

Song Qing didn’t dare to answer.

The man in white averted his gaze and picked up his flatbread. "It won’t come to that. I just heard some rumors and came to see for myself out of curiosity.

"I started by observing you all, to see if I could learn anything."

"And did you learn anything?" Song Qing asked.

"I learned that the theory does have some credibility, which is quite surprising," the man in white said, shaking his head. "But I still feel it can’t be true. It goes against my fundamental understanding of things."

"And if it’s not true, you won’t do anything?" Song Qing asked.

The man in white nodded. "Of course not. His Cultivation speed is very fast. Although it’s impossible to see his future accomplishments yet, it would be a terrible waste for him to be buried here if he really has the potential to reach the pinnacle."

"And what if it is true?" Song Qing asked again.

"Then there’s even more reason not to kill him. It wouldn’t be in the Immortal Sect’s interest, nor would it be in mine. I did come out to kill someone, besides just wandering around, but not him. I’m here to kill people like me," the man in white said out of the blue.

Song Qing didn’t quite understand what he was saying. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "So, have you confirmed it?"

The man in white broke off a piece of flatbread, popped it into his mouth, and smiled. "I’m in the process of confirming it now."

Song Qing was puzzled.

「Elsewhere.」

In the courtyard where Ji Meng resided, Qing Dai poured a cup of water and said, "The Young Master seems to have been cultivating nonstop recently."

Ji Meng, her eyes on her book, replied, "Isn’t he always cultivating?"

Qing Dai nodded. "That’s true. The Young Master cultivates every single moment. I wonder how much the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart is affecting him.

"He should still be handling it with ease for now. As I recall, the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart isn’t that overwhelming in the early stages.

"Since the Young Master is so diligent with his Cultivation, he shouldn’t be feeling any pressure yet."

Ji Meng didn’t speak.

She just sipped her water.

Suddenly, her grip on her teacup tightened.

Qing Dai also glanced back immediately, and in the next instant, her aura began to surge.

Without a shred of hesitation, she gathered power in her palm and thrust it forward.

In an instant, a terrifying force pulverized the ground before her, rushing toward the main gate.

At the same time, the gate was struck by another fearsome power and exploded. The blast wave, moving with lightning speed, surged toward Qing Dai and Ji Meng.

The next moment.

BOOM!

The mighty forces collided, and a terrifying shockwave spread out.

BANG!

The entire courtyard began to crumble, with Qing Dai at the epicenter. In the blink of an eye, the courtyard disintegrated as if crushed under immense pressure.

Qing Dai was shocked and attacked again.

However, in that instant, a figure in white suddenly appeared before her.

A palm descended.

In a flash, it was as if an invisible, giant hand was pressing down from the sky.

Qing Dai’s eyes turned cold as ice.

The aura around her churned like a tempestuous sea.

Meanwhile, Jiang Man had received a Task Token.

He hadn’t expected the task to come through so quickly.

He hadn’t even had a chance to go find Senior Sister Yu.

’So someone helped me get the task,’ Jiang Man mused, looking at the Copper Token.

"You’re quite popular. Someone’s even arranging tasks for you," the Old Yellow Ox said.

The Tengu, who was eating a flatbread, added, "Master is very popular indeed."

Jiang Man was silent for a moment. He decided to check the specific details of the task first.

He also needed to figure out the timing of the mission, prepare properly, and get enough Elixirs and any necessary Cultivation Skills.

He could also hide from the Bai Family Ancestor in the Secret Realm.

As Jiang Man was reviewing the information on the Secret Realm, Fang Yong arrived via Sword Control.

"Young Master Fang, what brings you here?" Jiang Man asked.

Fang Yong was direct. He took out 150,000 Spiritual Source and said, "Someone wants to buy the location of your Task Secret Realm."

Jiang Man took the 150,000 Spiritual Source and remarked with feeling, "You sure meet a lot of nice people, Young Master Fang."

Fang Yong was silent for a moment before asking, "Aren’t you afraid it might be dangerous?"

"What danger?" Jiang Man said calmly. "No one my age is a match for me. At the same tier, I am still invincible. Even if I encounter someone of a different age or tier, just give me a little time, and I’ll reach their tier.

"You’re the one who needs to be careful, Young Master Fang.

"Shining too brightly can be dangerous."

Fang Yong was taken aback. "Then aren’t you in a lot of danger?"

Hearing this, Jiang Man said confidently, "I’m different. My brilliance is like the Taiyang, capable of incinerating everything."
