Chapter 399

Having only just arrived at Qinglong Peak and joined the Qinglong Society not long ago, he had completed a few tasks that weren't all that difficult.

And he was directly bestowed the incomparably precious Po Yuan Pill, allowing him to break through to the supreme Mythical Realm he had long dreamed of.

If before he still had a few traces of awe and admiration toward Ximen Wudi, now all that remained was utter prostration.

So no matter how powerful an immortal-grade divine weapon might be, how could it compare to making the Great Dragon Leader happy?

238-Jiuzhou Hundred Flowers Ranking-(tied) thirty-ninth place!

"Take them back!"

Ximen Wudi gave a light wave, and the Dragon Soul Blade and Phoenix Blood Sword returned to Lord Chuan Ying's embrace.

"Great Dragon Leader..."

Lord Chuan Ying felt ashamed; he had assumed Ximen Wudi looked down on this pair of blade and sword.

"Since they were given to you by the Heavenly Dao, there's no need for me to take what you love."

"Moreover, let alone the fact that these are merely immortal-grade fake blade and fake sword, even if they were the true Dragon Soul Blade and Phoenix Blood Sword—"

"To me, they would be of no use whatsoever."

Though what Ximen Wudi said was somewhat arrogant, it was almost the truth.

Lord Chuan Ying bowed in admiration once more,

"The Great Dragon Leader's divine art is unrivaled under heaven; naturally you would disdain using these blade and sword..."

"Enough, no need to flatter me. Since you wish to repay me, then go do a task for me in my place."

It just so happened that several of the Great Dragon Leaders were either occupied with tasks or in closed-door cultivation.

For the moment, Ximen Wudi truly hadn't decided on a suitable candidate for the task,

"Great Dragon Leader, please give your orders."

Lord Chuan Ying was overjoyed—a task personally assigned by the Great Dragon Leader; wasn't this simply handing out merit points?

Last time he got the Po Yuan Pill, so what about this time?

"The task isn't difficult, but it isn't simple either!"

Ximen Wudi pointed at the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

"That fellow tied with you in the ranking, the cultivation method he obtained, and his cultivation method—I'm rather curious about them."

"It's just that it isn't worth me making a trip."

"Since you've obtained this pair of divine weapons, I imagine your strength has grown as well."

"I'll dispatch you to go challenge Xie Tiao and bring back what I want."

"As you command!"

Lord Chuan Ying accepted the order at once. Regarding the Heavenly Dao Golden List's ranking, he was somewhat unconvinced.

Although Xie Tiao was tied with him, Lord Chuan Ying asked himself: now that his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, in an all-out fight, he might not be unable to take him down.

It's just that...

"Aren't you worried about that Cang Qu?"

Ximen Wudi saw straight through Lord Chuan Ying at a glance, and took out a jade pendant from his embrace,

"This is for dealing with Cang Qu!"

"If he knows what's good for him, then forget it; if he doesn't, you just crush this jade pendant."

As he spoke, the jade pendant somehow arrived in Lord Chuan Ying's hand of its own accord.

"Thank you, Great Dragon Leader!"

Lord Chuan Ying immediately cherished and valued the jade pendant, tucking it carefully against his body.

As a member of the Qinglong Society, he had actually long heard of the matter of Dugu Qiubai and Dugu Jian going to the Wentianxia Society.

Rumor had it that within the Wentianxia Society there was an extremely terrifying expert, one who had nearly caused the Third Great Dragon Leader as well as Dugu Jian to fall there.

The Third Great Dragon Leader, having no choice, employed a secret art—not only turning defeat into victory,

but also beating that expert and the Wentianxia Society's Xiong Ba into a panicked flight.

Now, although he didn't know whether this jade pendant was of the same type,

Lord Chuan Ying understood that this was his protective talisman.

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Since there was no need to worry about Cang Qu, then Xie Tiao could just wait.

After Lord Chuan Ying withdrew, Ximen Wudi suddenly murmured a sentence,

"This Li Taibai really moves too fast."

"Couldn't he wait until Jue Wushen received the reward before killing him?"

Far away in the War God Palace, Li Taibai suddenly sneezed,

"Eh? That's not right, is it? Could I have caught a chill?"

At this moment they had just reached an ice-cold passage, and the temperature was indeed extremely low.

"You really are amusing."

Senior Xiaoyaozi couldn't help laughing,

"Taibai, you are already a half-step Mythical powerhouse."

"Not to say you're truly an immortal, but at least how could this bit of cold ice give you a cold?"

"Then why did I sneeze?"

"I think most likely there's some beauty thinking of you, Fifth Great Dragon Leader?"

With the current situation forcing his hand, Seeing Di Shitian had actually begun to flatter and fawn as well.

"Naturally—my Li Taibai is dashing and elegant, a banished immortal descended to the mortal world; being thought of by beauties is something that happens every single day."

Li Taibai couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

but Senior Xiaoyaozi suddenly poured cold water on it,

"A beauty that topples nations?"

"Ah-choo…"

Hearing these words, Li Taibai shuddered all over, like an eggplant struck by frost.

This made Senior Xiaoyaozi burst into loud laughter, while Seeing Di Shitian wanted to laugh but didn't dare, holding it in with great difficulty.

In the void.

The previously quiet Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers List suddenly burst forth with dazzling radiance.

In just an instant.

It caused those still immersed in the stimulation of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Dao Combat Power List and the Breaking Yuan Pill to look up one after another.

Not long after.

The Jin Guang dispersed.

Lines of small characters slowly emerged.
