Chapter 89: Could It Be Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain!

The man in black outside this door comes from a massive sect with a thousand-year heritage: the Xiaotian Sect!

Even the great families of the Imperial Capital would not dare to provoke an ancient sect of this caliber.

Hu Xiaoxiao is precisely the daughter of the current Sect Master of the Xiaotian Sect!

And Hu Xiaoxiao's grandfather is an absolute powerhouse of the Xiaotian Sect and even the entire Da Jin! With this status, no one dares to provoke her wherever she goes.

They would even prefer to treat her like a little ancestor and worship her directly...

This time, because Hu Xiaoxiao snuck out of the sect out of playfulness, the entire Xiaotian Sect has been turned upside down.

They have been inquiring everywhere, searching for traces of Hu Xiaoxiao.

Finally, they learned of Hu Xiaoxiao's whereabouts from the mouths of the noble families in the Xi'an Ancient City.

The man in black came this time with a mission issued by the sect; if he cannot bring Hu Xiaoxiao back, he will have a hard time upon his return.

At the mere thought of the Sect Master's fury, his whole body trembles.

"Young Miss, please don't make things difficult for me; come back with me."

"I truly cannot bear the Sect Master's fury."

The man in black takes a deep breath, his words becoming somewhat serious, his tone extremely heavy.

"Difficult? Because you feel it is difficult, you want to make things difficult for me?"

Hu Xiaoxiao asks back with a cold laugh.

"Don't those old fogies in the sect just think that if I stay in the Xiaotian Sect, I can cultivate faster, break through higher, and become a stronger Beast Tamer?"

"Young Miss, the Sect Master and the others are also thinking of your future; after all, the Tianque Academy cannot be compared to the sect at all..."

The man in black frowns and says.

The Tianque Academy is indeed considered the number one Beast Tamer Academy in the Xi'an Ancient City.

But looking at the Great Jin Dynasty, it counts for nothing, and it cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the Xiaotian Sect.

In the eyes of everyone in the Xiaotian Sect, Hu Xiaoxiao is far too unruly and is simply wasting her time and talent.

"Heh, I am already at the Nine-Star Advanced level now. Tell me, could I have broken through this fast in the Xiaotian Sect?!"

"What?! Nine-Star Advanced?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, the man in black is immediately shocked, nearly exclaiming out loud.

He remembers very clearly that when Hu Xiaoxiao left the sect, she was only a Low-Stage Mid-Level Beast Tamer.

Going to a remote place like the Tianque Academy in the Xi'an Ancient City, without the sect's powerful resource support and deep foundation.

Plus, Hu Xiaoxiao is inherently playful; once she left the sect's supervision, the time she spent cultivating was likely minimal.

The man in black cannot figure out how, in less than half a year.

Hu Xiaoxiao could actually span nearly two major realms; it is simply inconceivable.

In his view, given Hu Xiaoxiao's temperament, even if she had stayed in the Xiaotian Sect with the support of massive resources.

She would likely have only cultivated to the Advanced Mid-Stage at most by now.

"What? You don't believe me?"

"Let me tell you, I am now representing the Tianque Academy to participate in the Hundred Schools League. The students participating in the Selection Tournament don't know my identity."

"The Tianque Academy would not fake such things."

Seeming to hear the man in black's doubt, Hu Xiaoxiao immediately chuckles, looking incredibly proud.

Hearing this, the man in black falls silent, no longer questioning.

After all, he was able to come here because he had already learned that Hu Xiaoxiao was representing the Tianque Academy in the Hundred Schools League.

Otherwise, he would have gone directly to the Xi'an Ancient City to find her.

"Since that is the case, I will no longer force you, Young Miss. If the Sect Master learns of this news, he will surely be very gratified."

The man in black bows to Hu Xiaoxiao inside the room, and with a respectful look, gradually fades into the darkness. Seeing the man in black leave, Jiang Che stops paying attention to that side; he now focuses all his energy on the high sky.

"Brother Guo, your demeanor is still the same as it was a hundred years ago, unchanged!"

"Thinking back to those years, the few of us were together on the battlefield resisting the Demon Race invasion; now, not many are left alive in this world..."

High in the sky, a thousand meters up, within a hidden space, two old men stand opposite each other.

The old man opposite Elder Guo smiles faintly.

Looking at the other party's posture, it seems he is not here to cause trouble, but rather like two people who have reunited after a long time to reminisce.

"Let's not bring up the past anymore..."

However, upon hearing this, Elder Guo knits his brows tightly, a trace of impatience in his eyes; he seems to loathe the person before him.

"Let's not hide things between us; you came here this time for that girl, didn't you."

Elder Guo says with a cold expression, getting straight to the point.

"To be precise, it is for his Spirit Beast." The mysterious old man opposite nods and says.

Located in the Imperial Capital, they have also heard of Jiang Che's battle record.

In less than half a year, he broke through from a Second-Tier Monster Beast to the Fifth Tier.

And he took on nine opponents at once, instantly killing a crowd of King-level Beast Tamers and Spirit-level Beast Tamers, even knocking over their Spirit Beasts!

With such heaven-defying combat power, it is hard not to attract attention.

In many people's eyes, Jiang Che is very unusual, and he might even be a hidden Legendary-Level Spirit Beast! Hearing the old man's words, a flash of loathing crosses Elder Guo's eyes again.

Compared to those alien races, the individual strength of the Human Race is inherently weak.

Yet these so-called powerhouses of the noble families and sects, in order to consolidate their own strength and for their own interests, are still suppressing others everywhere.

Who knows how many geniuses have fallen in the arena of interests.

How many elites of the Human Race have been pointlessly failed by such a turbid and unbearable environment.

It is precisely because there are so many people with impure intentions that the Human Race has remained stagnant for many years.

It has caused many geniuses of the Human Race to lack sufficient opportunities and space to grow.

If this continues for long, geniuses will wither, Beast Tamers will face a shortage of successors, and the Human Race will never have another day to rise...

What ordinary people do for the sake of profit might only affect those around them.

But the decisions of top-tier powerhouses affect the entire Human Race!

"Don't blame me for not warning you, this is an opportunity that belongs to that little girl herself!"

"As long as I am still here for one day, no one can take it away; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, Old Guo's gaze was very calm, his pitch-black pupils as deep as a pool of water.

Although there was no eruption of aura, just a single sentence made the person in front of him look solemn in an instant.

"Heh, Old Guo, it seems like it has been a long time since we exchanged blows."

"Since you have happened to come to the Imperial Capital, why don't we have a good fight and see if your old bones have regressed!"

As the words fell, the two of them vanished from the spot instantly.

Being equally powerful, they also completely moved out of the range of Jiang Che's Holographic Perspective.

After all, if powerhouses of this level really start fighting, others would be unable to withstand even the mere aftermath.

"Good grief, this old man just left like that; could it be a ruse to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and will others come later?!"

Seeing the figures of the two disappear, Jiang Che felt no joy, but instead became even more worried.

In this life, he only wanted to lie flat, but now with constant external threats, how could he be at ease?

"Are you saying... that person and Old Guo have old ties?"

After listening to Jiang Che's description, Luo Shuiyan's thoughts surged, and she seemed to have guessed the identity of the newcomer.
