Chapter 382: Watching the Stone Fall into Silence
Next in the Gu Clan auction house, Gu Leng and others started tidying up things. The spirit stones were also packed and sent to the Gu Clan.
The entire auction house was filled with Gu Leng’s people, aware of how Gu Leng teamed up with the enigmatic Void Prince, and even won his favor.
Suddenly, congratulations for Gu Leng echoed throughout the auction house.
Gu Leng was quite proud of himself and directed people to arrange a feast for the Void Prince the next day to bid farewell.
Of course, the most important aspect for Gu Leng was to establish a good relationship with Jiang Xiaobai at the next gathering and try to gauge his stance.
If he could provide some assistance to Jiang Xiaobai, it would be even better.
Thinking about this, Gu Leng couldn’t help but reveal a wicked smile, feeling extremely excited.
It seemed that his ambition was about to be fulfilled!
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning, along with the Blood Warrior, returned to the tavern. Jiang Xiaobai did not leave immediately.
If he left abruptly, it would arouse suspicion. The more composed he was, the lesser people doubted him.
Particularly, the fake spirit stones in the storage ring given to Gu Leng were incredibly realistic. No one could tell a difference unless they fully absorbed them.
As they entered the room, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Finally, it’s done! All the efforts in acting these days have not been wasted. Let’s see what the Gu Clan can do about this.”
“Once they discover the truth about the spirit stones, the expression on their faces must be priceless.”
The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh.
It was a pity that he only had emotionless Gu Ning by his side. This woman had formidable power and she could effortlessly destroy the Gu Clan. She didn’t even need to resort to these tricks, so she had no feelings about it.
However, if AnRan was present, she would be perfect to share the amusement, and they could laugh their heads off.
Gu Ning looked at Jiang Xiaobai, who was in hysterics, with amazement, shaking her head continuously.
In her view, Jiang Xiaobai’s behavior was equivalent to courting death.
She wondered how he could be so bold.
On second thought, if Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t so audacious, they might have never crossed paths.
“Enough, stop showing off. If you get exposed on the spot, I won’t cover for you,” Gu Ning said irritably.
Jiang Xiaobai lay on the bed, waving his hand, completely nonchalant.
Even if Gu Ning didn’t help him, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care. If he dared to act like this, he must have his plans.
The Gu Clan might want to get their hands on him, but he believed it would be tough.
With Jiang Xiaobai’s current strength, unless confronted with a Late Stage of Fusion expert, it would be really tough to capture him.
Looking at the treasures inside his storage ring, Jiang Xiaobai grinned ear to ear. He made an absolute killing by collecting so many treasures from the Gu Clan.
He then looked at the Blood Warrior at the door, knitting his brows slightly.
There must be a problem with this Blood Warrior, and not just because of the fire poison.
But Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t understand. To research, he would need time, which his current situation did not permit.
If something went wrong while researching the Blood Warrior, the Gu Clan might interfere, which would be a hassle.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t continue to bother about it and asked Gu Ning to set up a formation and restrain him to prevent him from going mad at night.
After all, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t sure what the problem with the Blood Warrior was. But he was certain that if he didn’t have an issue, the Gu Clan wouldn’t possibly auction him off.
Wouldn’t that be cultivating a force for others? The Gu Clan couldn’t be that stupid.
Jiang Xiaobai sat up, swung his hand and a large stone appeared on the ground.
The stone was dismissed as worthless by everyone. They all thought Jiang Xiaobai was a sucker.
But actually, nobody knew that the real sucker this time was the Gu Clan.
Looking at the stone, an ancient and fierce aura rushed toward Jiang Xiaobai, causing his heart to palpitate inexplicably.
It felt as if he was facing an extremely ferocious ancient beast, and he was going to lose his life at any moment.
The aura was even scarier than that of the dragon bloodline in Dragon Valley.
It was as if Jiang Xiaobai was facing a real dragon instead of people with dragon bloodlines!
Out of curiosity, he wanted to know what was going on.
He made a sharp long sword appear, swung it at the stone with great force, and heard a clear sound.
The stone was untouched, but Jiang Xiaobai hurt his hand.
“Hiss, this is interesting.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled. He originally wanted to try with Yuanhong, but it was currently unusable, so he had no choice.
Jiang Xiaobai tried many methods afterwards, but none worked. The stone was like an indestructible turtle shell and could not be broken at all.
Gu Ning was also very curious about this. In all her years, she had never encountered such a strange situation.
This stone in front of them had a hardness comparable to divine metal or maybe even greater.
The Gu Clan must have tried with divine treasured items and still could not uncover what was inside the stone.
“This thing… it’s not as simple as a stone, is it?” Jiang Xiaobai stood with his hands on hips, panting.
Gu Ning nodded, “Let me try.”
As she finished speaking, a spear appeared in her hand. The spear was exuding an aura – it was a divine item!
An item of such rank held by a Transcendence Stage expert, exuded a force that was beyond Jiang Xiaobai’s imagination.
Then he saw Gu Ning concentrate, a fierce look in her eyes. She thrust her spear with a speed even Jiang Xiaobai could not capture.
Next, the stone was sent flying. If it was not for Gu Ning’s quick reaction in using her spiritual force to restrain the stone, it might have smashed through the wall and flew away.
“That’s strange, I used at least thirty percent of my strength, and this stone isn’t damaged at all?”
Gu Ning looked at the stone in shock.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
Are you kidding? Was that just less than thirty percent of her power?
Just a moment ago, Jiang Xiaobai felt a whirlwind before him, which was terrifying.
He even felt that if the spear was aimed at his heart, he wouldn’t have had any chance to dodge.
So, was this the power of the Transcendence Stage?
“Why don’t you try it with your full power?”
“No, I can’t. Firstly, I’m not capable of it. Secondly, I can sense that even using all my power wouldn’t affect this stone.”
Gu Ning shook her head.
For a while, both of them silently stared at the stone in the room.
