Chapter 576: Chapter 315: Bai Family Ancestor: I Will Be Killed?

"Let him know that sometimes it’s best not to meddle.

"Some Spiritual Sources will burn your hands if you try to hold them.

"First, enter the Wuyun Sect, and then investigate the location of the Great Demon.

"Once found, you can teach this Jiang Man a lesson on how to behave."

However, before they could take any further action, they suddenly received an offer for cooperation.

They stated that Ku Jiangman was as troublesome as usual, having ruined many of their operations. They wanted to eliminate this person, and they had already set up some Arrays that could hinder him from circulating his power.

The more he practiced Cultivation, the greater the impact would be.

Furthermore, they were willing to pay an ample amount of Spiritual Sources.

The leading woman was surprised. "This guy has this many enemies?"

Then they would eliminate him.

As long as they left the Sect, someone would be there to receive them. By the time the Sect reacted, it would just turn into a pursuit to kill them.

It wasn’t as if they hadn’t experienced that before.

***

In the Outer Sect of the Wuyun Sect.

Inside an ordinary courtyard, a young man sat cross-legged, surrounded by revolving stars and Eight Trigrams.

But a moment later, these things shattered with a loud bang.

He opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face. "Strange."

Afterward, he stepped out and made his way to the flatbread shop.

As soon as he sat down, Song Qing seemed to remember something. "Mr. Bai, did you do something to me?"

Mr. Bai nodded. "I haven’t finished what I set out to do, so naturally, I couldn’t let you ruin things."

"Then why are you telling me?" Song Qing asked curiously.

"Perhaps your karmic affinity is quite good. You shouldn’t have lived such a life, which is why I always see you differently from others," Mr. Bai sighed. "Or rather, the same goes for most of the people you know."

"What should my life have been like originally?" Song Qing asked.

"Have you ever seen the black mud in the wastelands?" Mr. Bai lamented. "No hope, no sense of self, no future, and no vitality."

"Is it that miserable?" Song Qing asked.

"Pretty much, but they live quite a long time." After ordering soy milk and flatbread, Mr. Bai continued, "You are different now. Even though you are still in the black mud, you have hope, a future, a sense of self, and vitality.

"Additionally, you also face danger.

"How long you can live depends heavily on luck.

"Not everyone will treat you like ants and turn a blind eye to you.

"However, your friend who sells Spirit Medicine has had a new change in his karmic affinity, though I don’t know how it will turn out."

"Young Master Gao?" Song Qing asked.

Mr. Bai shook his head.

"Miss Luo?" Song Qing asked again.

"Yes, a new choice has appeared in her future," Mr. Bai said.

Song Qing was puzzled. "Is it good or bad?"

Mr. Bai thought for a moment and said, "A much more stable path."

Hearing this, Song Qing’s interest was piqued. "Mr. Bai, do you think there’s any chance between Young Master Gao and Miss Luo? And what about Young Master Fang and Miss Cheng?

"And Old Chang?"

"A life of toil," Mr. Bai said with a smile.

"Old Chang?" Song Qing shook his head and sighed. "That’s pretty miserable for him. What about the others?"

"I can’t be sure." Mr. Bai shook his head while eating his flatbread.

"What about you yourself, Mr. Bai?" Song Qing suddenly asked.

Mr. Bai paused for a moment and said, "Something strange has appeared in my future."

"What is it?"

"Today, I felt as if I was going to be killed. It’s very strange."

"Is it because you are going to kill someone, so someone is going to kill you?"

"The people I want to kill are very strong, there’s no doubt about that. But I came prepared this time. They can’t kill me; instead, I can kill them. At the very worst, we’ll perish together. However, the feeling I had this morning wasn’t about that kind of death. It felt like someone was coming to kill me with an overwhelming presence. Or someone has developed a murderous intent toward me and is determined to end my life." Drinking his soy milk, Mr. Bai mused curiously, "I’m wondering who wants to kill me and how they could possibly do it. Of course, I’m also looking forward to it."

"Looking forward to it?" Song Qing was puzzled.

Mr. Bai suddenly smiled and said, "Yes. Only the weak fear death."

After finishing his food, Mr. Bai kindly reminded him, "The Immortal Sect is about to expand its recruitment, which makes things even more dangerous for you all. Your boss has provoked more formidable enemies, so it’s best if you figure out a way to buy a suitable Spirit Pet.

"It might help you evade some danger.

"Even though you guys are weak, I find you quite interesting. It would be a pity if you died."

"Where would I even get a Spirit Pet?" Song Qing asked helplessly.

Mr. Bai looked at the three Spirit Pet Eggs in the shop. "Take the one in the middle."

After that, Mr. Bai left. Song Qing looked at the red Spirit Pet Egg in the middle. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask Jiang Man.

***

Meanwhile.

Jiang Man received the news brought by Old Chang. Song Qing wanted to hatch a Spirit Beast Egg.

Jiang Man agreed. While he was at it, he handed an envelope to Old Chang and asked him to deliver it to Song Qing and Xiaopang.

Whoever drew the short straw would be the one drained of their Spiritual Sources.

That night, Chang Qiweng sent word that Xiaopang had drawn it.

Hearing this, Jiang Man sighed heavily. "To think it was Xiaopang. What a pity."

"What’s a pity?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

"In a few days, he’s going to start complaining about how much he’s suffering again. He’ll say that even if he reaches Foundation Establishment, he still won’t be able to beat Luo Xuan or something like that," Jiang Man said casually.

"This Luo Xuan you mentioned—doesn’t her family have an ancestor who’s acting as a traitor on the outside?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

Jiang Man paused, suddenly remembering something. "The Sect is expanding its recruitment, but is the Lingyue Sect included? If it is, the Luo Family’s status will change.

"That second uncle of the Luo Family seems to be on the verge of reaching the Primordial Spirit stage.

"Meanwhile, the Gao Family doesn’t even seem to have a Primordial Spirit expert. From the looks of it, is the Gao Family going to fall behind the Luo Family?

"Wouldn’t that mean Luo Xuan is going to leave?"

"Is that good news?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

"It’s hard to say," Jiang Man sighed.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether Xiaopang would be suffering or not.

He still needed to figure out a way to make him stay up late practicing Cultivation. It was a pity he couldn’t go over there frequently to urge him on.

He decided to write a Cultivation manual for them and test them periodically. However, he would have to make Old Huang write it. The ox was much better at it.

After that, Jiang Man devoted himself to his Cultivation. He didn’t stop until October 1st.

His seventh Gourd was full, and now he had to prepare to elevate his Cultivation.

Only three and a half months remained.

Jiang Man was somewhat shocked. "Old Huang, I feel like I’m running out of time. This Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart is truly ruthless."

There was a lecture today, and he still had to practice how to control Spiritual Qi. He hoped it would be helpful in elevating his Cultivation.

As for Magic Skills, he didn’t even have the time to practice them.

And he was in no mood to care whether Sun and Moon Immortal Path would retaliate against him. As long as he stayed in the Sect, he was basically safe.

"Have you noticed the recent issue with the Arrays around you?" the Old Yellow Ox suddenly asked.

"I’ve noticed. They’re trying to block my power. I don’t feel anything under normal circumstances, but as soon as I use my full strength, my power gets blocked, causing a backlash," Jiang Man said casually. He paused for a moment before continuing, "There’s also the impact on my Heart Spirit. The more I practice Cultivation, the more likely my Heart Spirit is to encounter problems, forcing me to stop.

"The more anxious I get, the harder it is to succeed.

"I don’t know if this is the work of one person or two.

"If it’s two people, then one of them is definitely planning to make a move on me, forcing me to use my full strength so I end up heavily injured."

Jiang Man paid no heed to any of this. Because he couldn’t use his full strength to begin with. Once he did, his Spiritual Power would be too massive for his Cultivation base and Physical Body to withstand.

And the second issue was even more useless. Even an Evil God couldn’t lock down his Heart Spirit, let alone a mere Array.

He wasn’t the one who had set up the Array, so why should he be anxious?

He would focus on elevating his Cultivation first.

Afterward, Jiang Man headed to the courtyard. He prepared for the lecture. Today, Mr. Ji was going to formally teach everyone how to control their power and apply it in actual combat.

As soon as Qi Xi and Miao Yulin entered the courtyard, they noticed that Ji An and the others were all practicing Cultivation. Qi Xi, in particular, noticed that Miao Yulin had also begun to practice Cultivation.

"Why did you all suddenly start practicing Cultivation?" Qi Xi asked.

"To fight for a quota. Haven’t you noticed that Ji Shoumo and Bai Qiufeng have all started practicing Cultivation?" Miao Yulin replied.

Pausing for a moment, she explained, "It’s said that the Immortal Sect is about to expand its recruitment, so resources will be somewhat diverted. The Returning Void quotas might also be reduced before they slowly increase again later.

"No one wants to be stuck next time, so elevating our levels now is the most important thing.

"Besides, a Great Success expert of the Nine-star Series has emerged in the courtyard. He can’t compete this time, but next time, who could possibly beat him?

"Naturally, no one wants to be left behind. The members of the Ji Family, in particular, have been practicing Cultivation like crazy lately. The Bai Family has sensed the crisis, and Ji An doesn’t dare to just sit around and wait for death either. Naturally, I have to work harder too."

Qi Xi was bewildered. Weren’t they supposed to be out on a mission?

Why was everyone practicing Cultivation now?
