The elevator door opened, and a white-clothed young master, accompanied by three elders, stepped out with a faint smile on his face.
"Ah! Young Master, why have you come?" exclaimed the woman in black.
"Are you all alright?" asked the white-clothed young master with a smile.
"Reporting to the young master, your subordinates are fine," the woman in black respectfully said.
"Hmm," the white-clothed young master nodded.
Only then did he raise his head to look at Zhang Xiaohao.
"Were you looking for me?" the white-clothed young master asked.
The layer of warm smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded lightly.
"You know the rules here, right?" the white-clothed young master asked.
"Do I need to know them?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, his lips curling slightly.
"Quite the personality! Injuring my people and still so arrogant, you are the first," said the white-clothed young master.
"I can only say that those you’ve encountered before were too weak!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Tell me! What do you want by asking us to come here?" the white-clothed young master inquired.
"I want an explanation from you!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"I had the same intention! You’ve broken my rules and should give me an explanation," the white-clothed young master said.
"One move! If you can stand and not die, then you’re qualified to negotiate terms with me," Zhang Xiaohao stated blandly.
"That’s what I was thinking too," the white-clothed young master said with a smile.
The two men exchanged a look.
In each other’s eyes, they saw a decisive will to kill.
Two powerful auras burst forth from Zhang Xiaohao and the white-clothed young master simultaneously.
Ruthlessly pressing against each other.
"Regret of the Overbearing Dragon!"
Both men snorted coldly at the same time, unleashing their moves—immense True Qi exploded forth.
For a moment, a dazzling golden light dominated, aggressively blasting towards each other.
The Sky Flipping Seal and the Regret of the Overbearing Dragon collided fiercely, shooting out a powerful force.
Under this tremendous wave of energy, Zhang Xiaohao’s body remained unmoved in its original spot.
In contrast, the white-clothed young master took half a step backwards to stabilize himself.
"You’re quite good! To be able to take one of my moves and not die," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.
He gained a new appreciation for the young man before him.
Even within the Control Realm, this white-clothed young master had the ability to defeat opponents beyond his level.
"You’re not bad either! To actually manage to push me back half a step," the white-clothed young master said with a smile.
He was truly astounded in his heart.
He was the next heir to the mysterious intelligence sect, Bai Xiaosheng, ranked in the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger List—a super-genius of Jianghu.
Since birth, he had fortified his foundation with various precious treasures from heaven and earth, and practiced numerous powerful martial techniques.
Yet in their first exchange, he was forced back half a step.
If this got out, it would surely cause an uproar!
"Now we can talk about compensation," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"What happened?" the white-clothed young master asked, looking towards the woman in black.
"Young master, this is what happened..." the woman in black did not dare to hide or exaggerate anything, and recounted the events that had just unfolded, without missing a single word.
"Young master, spare my life! I was blinded by greed, please, for the meritorious deeds I have done in the past, forgive me this time!" the middle-aged man desperately knelt on the ground, begging with snot and tears.
"From now on, your parents and family will be supported by the sect! You can go in peace," the white-clothed young master said blandly.
Having said that, he casually slapped his palm.
Having his cranial vault shattered, the middle-aged man died with deep regret and unwillingness.
"Are you satisfied with this resolution, Brother?" the White-clothed Young Master smiled and asked.
"Not yet!" Zhang Xiaohao shook his head.
"What do you want then? Feel free to speak frankly!" the White-clothed Young Master inquired.
"What organization are you?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
After contemplating for a moment.
The White-clothed Young Master finally spoke, "Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng! An intelligence sect!"
"I want a promise from you! Let tonight’s incident be bygones." Zhang Xiaohao stated.
"Do you know how extensive Bai Xiaosheng’s influence is, and how significant a promise is?" the White-clothed Young Master asked with a smile.
"Either I lie here, or you all lie here!" Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.
"Haha!" The White-clothed Young Master burst into laughter.
As the laughter subsided, he said, "Brother, you truly are a straightforward person!" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
With that, he took a gold token the size of a baby’s palm from his bosom and tossed it over.
"This token is my personal token. As long as you have this token on Bai Xiaosheng’s territory, whatever promise you ask for, Bai Xiaosheng will fulfill it!" the White-clothed Young Master solemnly said.
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He casually pocketed the gold token
"Wait a moment!" the White-clothed Young Master called out.
"Something else?" Zhang Xiaohao stopped and asked.
"May I have the honor of knowing Brother’s esteemed surname?" the White-clothed Young Master inquired.
"Zhang Xiaohao! Given your clout, it shouldn’t be difficult to find out information about me," Zhang Xiaohao replied.
Having said that, he turned and entered the room.
"Young Master, isn’t this letting that rotten brat off too easily?" a white-haired elder grumbled indignantly.
He was the person in charge here.
"I understand what you mean! If we did not offer him a satisfactory resolution today, we would truly have been the ones lying here," the White-clothed Young Master said with a grave expression.
"Ah! Young Master, you are a top ten super-expert on the Dragon and Tiger List. With our combined strength, couldn’t we have taken him down?"
The White-clothed Young Master did not speak, merely shook his head faintly.
"Even so, giving him your personal token seems far too generous. It symbolizes the unique, esteemed status of our Bai Xiaosheng!"
"You don’t understand! In time, you will see," the White-clothed Young Master indifferently said.
Looking at the group of people on the ground, he said, "Later, go take a Foundation Establishment Pill for yourself!"
With that, the White-clothed Young Master turned and left.
"Thank you for the Young Master’s reward!" The black-clothed woman’s eyes lit up with excitement as she spoke.
Zhang Xiaohao closed the door.
He sat down on the sofa.
He took an interested look at the gold token in his hand.
The front of the gold token bore the three ancient characters "Bai Xiaosheng", while the back was engraved with the three characters "Successor".
"What, what did you do to him?" Zi Shu asked anxiously.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced at her indifferently and pocketed the gold token.
"Speak! What do you want with me?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"I, I would like to ask you to help save my cousin!" Zi Shu said awkwardly.
"Fan Xinxin slandered my company, and you expect me to save her? You must be dreaming!" Zhang Xiaohao said sarcastically.
"It wasn’t my cousin who threw the dirt on you; it was her agent who did it," Zi Shu defended.
"I’m not interested in these trivialities, you can leave now!" Zhang Xiaohao said, waving his hand.
"What exactly do you want? What will it take for you to agree to save my cousin?" Zi Shu said, frustrated.
"You are not even qualified to ask for my help!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.
