Right now, Jiang Xiaobai is desperate to know how exactly this is accomplished. The only thing on his mind is to get even with Xiao Wuwei.
This damn creature had the audacity to repeatedly send assassins after him, and for no apparent reason.
It was basically like, “You’re not acting according to my wishes? Fine, then I’m going to mess with you.”
Jiang Xiaobai was utterly disgusted with this behavior. Did Xiao Wuwei think he was a doormat?
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s question, Xiao Yuwei glanced at him.
“Are you scheming again?” she asked.
“No, not at all. Didn’t you tell me earlier to try my best to block the others, especially the heirs of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty?” Jiang Xiaobai responded with a grin.
For some reason, seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s smile gave Xiao Yuwei a sense of guilt.
She felt that she shouldn’t have asked him to do such a thing.
That was because Jiang Xiaobai was a real instigator, and if things got out of hand, the other sons and daughters of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty might hold her responsible.
After all, everyone knew that Jiang Xiaobai was her asset.
However, the prospect of Jiang Xiaobai actually pulling it off and helping her achieve a high rank in this round gave her a glimmer of hope. Once out, the Dynasty would reward her generously, and with careful planning, she could eventually surprise everyone.
“You’ll understand soon enough. Just stick with me a little longer. We’ll be reaching the special place shortly. I’ll tell you then how to obstruct the others from entering the secret realm,” Xiao Yuwei decided to say after pondering for a bit.
With that, Jiang Xiaobai followed Xiao Yuwei towards the location of the secret realm and arrived there after a short journey.
The place was a massive altar.
It resembled a huge mountain, but upon closer examination it was an octahedron, with an entrance to the secret realm on each face. There were also markings to denote which secret realm it was.
The secret realm was yet to open, but a crowd had already gathered. Jiang Xiaobai spotted Zhuang Huanling among them, who also noticed him.
Zhuang Huanling made a threatening gesture at Jiang Xiaobai, to which Jiang Xiaobai responded with a middle finger.
Zhuang Huanling was momentarily dumbfounded. What did that mean?
She asked Gong Shuier, who squinted her eyes, “I have no idea what it means, but judging by Jiang Xiaobai’s style, it can’t be good.”
“That damn nuisance, let him keep pretending for a bit longer, I’ll show him,” Zhuang Huanling huffed in annoyance.
For all those present, the biggest concern right now was the secret realm in front of them.
They wanted to secure the best locations in order to gain an advantage in the upcoming competition. They also had to devise a strategy, because only five people could enter the secret realm each day.
There were far too many people present for that to be possible.
Naturally, you had to have some tricks up your sleeve.
Having assessed the situation, Jiang Xiaobai turned to Xiao Yuwei, “Let’s hurry and talk about the plan before it’s too late.”
“You don’t know that Xiao Wuwei is after me? Every time I see him, I am being played. I can’t take it anymore.”
Jiang Xiaobai grimaced, “He’s as annoying as a rabid dog.”
“Hehe, if someone as troublesome as you says that my third brother is annoying, isn’t it an honor for him?”
Xiao Yuwei sneered with contempt, then made a gesture to Xiao Wu.
Even though Xiao Wu was harboring hard feelings towards Jiang Xiaobai, he still had to assist Xiao Yuwei and didn’t dare to slack off.
He then stepped forward and took Jiang Xiaobai to the entrance of the secret realm.
“See this stone groove here? The markings next to it indicate that you need three Frenzy Demon Stones to enter. When the time comes, the Frenzy Demon Stones will be placed in the groove.”
“At that time, a strange force from the Secret Realm will imprint your aura into it. Once that’s done, only you will be able to enter the realm.”
“But here’s the catch: if during the imprinting process, the Frenzy Demon Stones are removed or the imprinting process is interrupted, the imprinting will fail. Moreover, that person won’t be able to enter the Secret Realm for an entire day.”
Jiang Xiaobai instinctively asked, “Is it because that person’s imprint is already inside? But would that allow the next person to enter?”
Xiao Wu chuckled lightly, “Of course not. The Secret Realm only allows five people in every day. If they don’t enter, it doesn’t count.”
With that, Jiang Xiaobai finally saw the light. He immediately came up with a slew of ideas in his mind.
This method of obstruction was a perfect fit for him! He could use his earth attribute to dive underground and disrupt the imprinting process at the crucial moment, all without anyone knowing!
“Humph, Xiao Wuwei, just wait and see. This time I’ll show you who’s boss!”
Jiang Xiaobai was already smirking to himself. He could already imagine Xiao Wuwei’s frenzied reaction.
Next, he needed to test whether his plan would actually work.
“Don’t go too far, or I won’t be able to save you,” Xiao Yuwei warned with a cold tone.
“Don’t worry about that. If I don’t make them pay, my name is not Jiang.”
Of course, these thoughts remained in his head. If he were to voice them out loud, Xiao Yuwei would probably turn against him right away.
Nodding, Jiang Xiaobai left with AnRan.
He needed to find an opportunity to test his plan.
Not long after, they arrived at a spot less than five miles away from the altar. Jiang Xiaobai asked AnRan to keep watch while he used his earth attribute to sneak underground.
He slowly made his way back to the altar. With his “Divine Concealment” ability, no one around could detect him.
He then carefully approached the entrance to the Secret Realm. There was no resistance or danger, but he wasn’t sure if it was because the Secret Realm had yet to open.
At any rate, there were no issues for now.
“I wonder if there will be any special obstacles once the Secret Realm opens. That would complicate things,” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes.
If there were obstacles, he would have to resort to other means to obstruct the others, and that ran the risk of exposing him.
“Whatever, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Even without this method, there’s no way I can’t handle you. At worst, I’ll follow you around and make your life a living hell for the next fifteen days,” Jiang Xiaobai snorted internally. However, he didn’t just leave right away. He walked to the entrances of three more Secret Realms for a closer look.
Indeed, the requirement for the number of Frenzy Demon Stones needed to enter was inscribed next to each door of the Secret Realm.
The sixth door needed fifty Frenzy Demon Stones to enter. As for the seventh door, the requirement was staggering: one hundred stones. The eighth door was even more terrifying, requiring two hundred stones.
“Are you kidding me? Unless someone hoarded them for several consecutive days, who would be able to afford two hundred Frenzy Demon Stones on their own?”
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback by the sheer number of required stones.
It was simply impossible!
