Chapter 421: Interested in raising a little hell with me?

Soon, the two Star Wheel cultivators came to a stop before a stone gate.

They looked toward Jiang Xiao, cupped their hands, and said:

"Senior, this stone gate is forged from an extremely special material. Only a Moon Wheel cultivator can force it open by brute strength — it's beyond anything we can shake."

"On ordinary days, even when we wish to enter, we can only do so by using the talisman tokens the Prefecture Lord my lord granted us."

"But now, before the Lord departed, he took every single talisman token with him..."

Xiao waved a hand. "A trivial matter."

With that, a strike blasted out and shattered the stone gate in an instant!

Seeing this, the two Star Wheel cultivators were not surprised in the least.

With the other's seemingly invincible Wanxiang-level strength, breaking through this stone gate was naturally effortless — no difficulty whatsoever!

Then they lowered their heads, faces tight with nerves, and said anxiously, "Senior, about what you just agreed to...?"

Xiao's gaze shifted slightly, and he smiled. "Naturally, you may leave."

Seeing that the other had not changed his mind midway, the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without daring to linger a moment longer, they whirled around sharply, ready to flee the place!

However, they had only just begun to move.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Zhao Hu, are you going to let them go?"

At those words, the two were instantly seized by a chill of pure terror!

Immediately, the primordial force around their bodies surged without any restraint, driven to the limit in a frantic bid to escape!

Yet someone was faster than them!

Whoosh—

A blade-shadow flashed past, brimming with endless killing cold. In a single exchange, it lopped off one man's head!

In an instant, blood gushed forth like a spring.

That Star Wheel cultivator had no chance to resist at all before collapsing stiffly to the ground!

The last remaining Star Wheel cultivator perceived all of this through his spiritual sense, and his face changed drastically!

He understood that before Zhao Hu broke through to Moon Wheel, he himself still had a slim chance of survival by burning his lifespan as the price.

But once the other broke through to Moon Wheel, any move against them would be a situation of certain death with no chance of life!

After all, the gap between Star Wheel and Moon Wheel far exceeded even the gap between Innate and Primordial Sea!

Thinking this, he stopped running.

Because fleeing would only mean dying faster!

The only way to break the deadlock still lay with that Wanxiang senior!

So he hurriedly looked toward Jiang Xiao and cried out, "Senior! Didn't you just promise to spare us?!"

Xiao shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "Haven't you figured it out yet? The one who agreed to spare you was me, but the one who wants to kill you now is someone else — what does that have to do with me?"

As a dragon deeply influenced by his master's words and deeds, he naturally knew what it meant to "keep one's promise"!

As the words fell, the last Star Wheel cultivator instantly felt his heart turn to ice!

Immediately after, before he could speak again.

He saw a blindingly dazzling blade-shadow coming straight at him!

What a fast blade...

That was the last thought in his mind.

The next instant, blood sprayed across the spot.

The last Star Wheel cultivator also perished here!

At this moment, Zhao Hu slowly withdrew his long blade, endless killing cold surging in his eyes.

These four men had cuckolded his own wife — how could he possibly stand by and watch them leave?!

Even if the senior had not spoken, he would have taken the initiative to cut off their path to survival!!

Then he steadied his emotions for a moment, silently looked toward Jiang Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Although after the Sima clan was destroyed, he would most likely die at the other's hands.

But at this moment, he was still deeply grateful that the other had given him a chance to vent his vengeance.

After all, if the other had truly wished to act, these people would have long since perished — how could it possibly have been his turn?

Facing Zhao Hu's gratitude, Jiang Xiao merely smiled, said nothing more, then lifted his foot and walked toward the inner chamber of the secret room.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu hurriedly followed.

Soon, the scene inside came into view.

Everywhere were dazzling treasures and chests piled together.

These were all of Sima Nan's accumulations after becoming the Lord of Tiandou Prefecture!

If taken out into the world, they would surely trigger a scramble among numerous Moon Wheel factions, perhaps even sparking a bloody battle!

Gazing at these treasures.

Zhao Hu's face showed no surprise; deep within, he felt only an unusual calm.

After the great upheaval of his life, his state of mind had already undergone earth-shattering changes.

His view of many things no longer stayed on the surface — instead, he saw through to their essence.

After all, he was a man destined to die.

What use were these treasures to him?

Not brought in life, not taken in death — why cling to worldly things?

At this moment, Jiang Xiao merely nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Although he didn't know exactly what these items did, he took them all anyway.

With a sweep of his hand, he instantly transported all the items into his Purple Mansion space.

After advancing to the Ten Thousand Forms realm.

The area of his Purple Mansion space had already expanded dozens of times over.

Storing these items was more than sufficient!

Seeing the surroundings now empty and nothing left behind, he finally nodded.

Then he used his spiritual sense to scan the area, searching for traces of the Sun Wheel Spirit Tiger.

Soon he spotted a cage in the corner.

Xiao Bai moved instantly, vanishing from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already before the cage.

He looked up.

Inside lay a massive white tiger!
