Chapter 201: 202: Leaving for Central Province<div>
The next morning, Li Xiaobai bid farewell to Ou Yezi, the Sect Leader of the Holy Demon Sect, and set out on the road again with Ji Wuqing.
This time, he was heading for Central Province and was not too worried about safety.
All those so-called righteous individuals were now heading to the Western Desert, and by going to Central Province at this critical juncture, it was unlikely he would run into the main force. As long as he did not encounter a transcendent power from the Great Crossing Realm, there would be no problems.<div>
After experiencing the Heavenly Tribtion, Ou Yezi seemed to have made a significant breakthrough, far surpassing any ordinary Mahayana Realm cultivator.
Now meditating andprehending daily, he entrusted the sect’s various affairs to Great Elder Feng Qingyang, having entered a state of semi-reclusion.
The next time he returned, he might not see him again.
However, Ou Yezi’s courage was too daunting. It took him half a year or even longer to n, and eventually, in a single move, he sacrificed over a hundred prodigies; such methods were somewhat horrifying.
If he were to take another step further in the future, he would undoubtedly be a leader of the generation, able topete with those old monsters.
“Little Chick, let’s go to Central Province and make some Spirit Stones!”
“Cluck cluck, call me Lord Ji!”
…
At the same time, within the Elixir Sect of Central Province, a shrill cry resounded.N?v(el)B\\jnn
“Sister Xi Yao, our rankings have dropped by one!”
The purple-d young girl looked annoyed as she stared at the ranking board in front of her, her eyes brimming with resentment. To improve her ranking, she had worked for a long time to advance to the top two hundred, only to inexplicably drop a ce now.<div>
The Elixirs her father promised were likely out of reach now.
“It’s that Li Xiaobai who suddenly rose to be the number one expert on the people’s list, causing all other geniuses to automatically drop one ce,” said the woman in white, her graceful demeanor utterly serene, with aplexion as smooth as fine jade.
“Junior Sister, there’s no need to be angry. This is a special case. I believe our Master will keep his promise and hand the Rejuvenation Elixir over to you,” Xi Yao said with a smile.
“Honestly, what’s the deal with this Li Xiaobai? Lately, the Immortal Spirit Daily has been full of his news, and I haven’t seen the advertisements for the Preserving Youth Technique for a long time,” the purple-d young girlined.
“Though I’ve never met him, I’m sure he must be a genius of exceptional talent. If I have the chance, I really want to make his acquaintance,” admired Xi Yao, a hint of yearning shing in her beautiful eyes.
“What’s the big deal? Look, this guy is going to the Western Desert, openly opposing the righteous people of the world. He definitely won’t live long. Once he’s dead, my ranking wille back!” The purple-d young girl pouted dismissively.
“The events in the Western Desert end without a climax, and not all those so-called righteous people harbor justice in their hearts. From what I know of Su Mei’er, there’s probably much more to this than meets the eye. Let’s watch and see how it unfolds,” Xi Yao remarked.
“This guy definitely used underhanded methods to snatch the ranking. As long as he dares go to the Western Desert, he’s sure to find himself without a burial ce!” The purple-d young girl’s eyes glinted with cold light as she spoke disdainfully.
“That’s enough. The Saint Heir of the Array Formation Sect has sent an invitation. You and I will go together to the debate conference two days from now,” said Xi Yao, her brow furrowed as she saw the young girl cursing Li Xiaobai.
“Thank you, Sister Xi Yao. The Saint Heir of the Array Formation Sect is really good to you. If our two families were to form an alliance through marriage, that would truly be a grand celebration!” The purple-d young girl’s smile bloomed like a flower.
“You’re speaking nonsense again. If you continue like this, I won’t take you with me.”<div>
“Was I wrong? Sister, you’re the best.”
The same reaction urred among the young elites of the various powers in Central Province. Everyone stared nkly at the rankings before them, unable toprehend why the top position on the leaderboard had suddenly changed hands, causing everyone on the list to drop one spot.
Li Xiaobai did cause quite a stir recently, but wasn’t it because Elder Tianwu was backing him?
Howe this guy has now taken the top spot on the leaderboard directly? Could it be that Elder Tianwu was manipting the situation behind the scenes?
It was rumored that Elder Tianwu and Elder Tianji were old masters from the same era. A little bit of their meddling certainly seemed usible!
The more everyone thought about it, the more they were convinced that this must be the result of influential connections. Otherwise, there was no way he could’ve entered the top spot with his original strength!
“Damn it, Li Xiaobai is just a beneficiary of nepotism!”
“A ranking gained through connections—I don’t ept it! Let hime to Central Province, and I’ll set up a stage for a fair fight with him!”
“And that Elder Tianji, brazenly helping someone cheat! Li Xiaobai, by what virtue and ability does he surpass us? From now on, I’m not reading the Immortal Spirit Daily anymore!”
“That’s right, I won’t read it either. I’m going to file aint, report it!”
“I want to challenge him. I don’t believe it. My cultivation level is at the Half-step Tribtion Crossing Stage, and I’m only tenth on the list. How could Li Xiaobai, a mere brute from the countryside, be stronger than me?”<div>
“A fair fight to take his ranking!”
Li Xiaobai had no idea that his ranking on the leaderboard had caused a stir among the elites of the various powers in Central Province, nor did he know that people had already set their sights on him even before his arrival.
In the Lamborghini, Li Xiaobai sneezed unconsciously.
He rubbed his nose, “Damn, who’s cursing me?”
“Giggle, kid, when are you gonna get a ride for me too? My demands aren’t high; just better than that dumb dog’s will do,” Ji Wuqing hopped onto the steering wheel, bouncing around.
Li Xiaobai, impatiently, pushed him aside: “You think mounts are just avable on demand? This thing depends on fate.”
“Giggle, kid, don’t you trick me. You definitely have one; you must get one for me!” Ji Wuqing eximed angrily.
“I’ll find you er, let’s deal with the important matters first.”
Li Xiaobai offered a nomittal response. This damn bird couldn’t even grip the steering wheel with its wings, and it was too small to reach the gas pedal – born to be a menace on the road, and it wanted to drive?
Central Province was quite a distance from the Northern Region; it would take a considerable amount of time to travel there. Fortunately, the Lamborghini was top-notch and quite fast. By nightfall, he had entered the boundaries of the Northern Region.
He made a resolution in his mind; when he had the chance, he would definitely install a Teleportation Formation here. Commuting back and forth was too much of a hassle.
The prosperity level of Central Province wasn’t something the Northern Region couldpare with. The previously sufficiently prosperous sights of Zhenyuan Country paled inparison to this ce—it was like a vige tycoon meeting a high official, without any grounds forparison.
Thend of Central Province was rich in Spiritual Energy. Living here, even those with limited talents could achieve far more than the cultivators from the Northern Region.
No wonder they say the powers of Central Province are formidable. There is a reason for it.
Tianfeng City.
Cultivators came and went continuously at the city gates; ordinary people had grown ustomed to their presence and ignored the cultivators darting across the sky.
He put away the Lamborghini and entered the city with Ji Wuqing.
Tianfeng City was the coordinate provided by Treasure Pavilion. It was at the crossroads of Central Province, the Northern Region, and the Western Desert. The city was ratherrge due to the heavy flow of people. The auction event that was to be held here.
