Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Gathering Together
After traveling for several days, Jiang Xiaobai finally arrived at the Huo Family!
A clan in the Tianyuan world with formidable strength.
The Huo Family was as vast as the ancient clan he’d encountered before, claiming an excellent location and establishing a massive cluster of buildings.
The entire complex belonged to the Huo Family, giving it the appearance of a small sect.
Huo Shuyu was already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s arrival, a teasing smile spread across her face.
“You were so full of yourself, insisting on experiencing it alone. Look now, how much time did you waste?”
“Cut it out, what do you mean waste? I had a great trip and saw some beautiful scenery.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled in response.
At his remark, Huo Qingyi’s face turned red. She thought back to Zhang Qianxue.
And that reminded her of Jiang Xiaobai’s previous teasing.
Immediately, she didn’t want to stand next to him any longer.
Scoffing at him as a total shameless rascal!
A handsome gentleman in appearance, but actually a ground-level rogue.
An existence that debases morality!
Huo Qingyi quickly moved to Huo Shuyu’s side and whispered something into her ear.
Huo Shuyu’s face also turned red, and she fiercely glared at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Let’s go. The two big shots from the Stellar Sword Sect are waiting for you.”
“Huh? What’s the Stellar Sword Sect up to this time?”
Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
Last time, Song Wenguang had specifically come to the Star Purgatory World to catch him, though he had managed to drive Song away.
But what Song did was unfair!
Jiang Xiaobai still held a grudge.
He was curious to see, could he really kill an Earth Immortal!
Jiang Xiaobai felt that he could. But really.
Now he simply had too many trump cards that were going unused.
Alas, even a holder of all trumps has his moments of distress.
“They needed you for something important.”
“Coincidentally, you can help me too.”
Just then, Huo Shuyu lightly chuckled, leading Jiang Xiaobai into the main hall.
Many of the Huo Family’s high-ranking elders were inside.
Seeing this handsome figure, several elders’ eyes sparkled with admiration.
It was much like the gaze of a father-in-law sizing up his future son-in-law!
Jiang Xiaobai felt his heart sink as if he was about to enter a den of beasts!
“Mr. Jiang, I’ve heard so much about you.”
The middle-aged man leading the group looked at Jiang Xiaobai and smiled, “I didn’t expect that you could even force a tough nut like Song Wenguang into a corner. Truly, a hero in bloom.”
Song Wenguang, who was sitting beside him, immediately blushed at this remark.
“Huo Qitian, cut the nonsense if you have nothing to say, or should we spar?”
“Pish. Afraid of you?”
Huo Qitian gave a faint smile, then beckoned to Jiang Xiaobai, “Come, come, Mr. Jiang, come over and let’s talk.”
Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward and sat down.
Quickly, people started serving tea and pouring water. Huo Shuyu sat next to him, however, the whereabouts of the lass, Huo Qingyi, remained unknown.
However, as soon as Jiang Xiaobai settled down, he felt a heavy pressure.
Only now could he clearly see the level of cultivation of everyone in the hall.
God damn it, they were all immortals!
Eight were at the peak stage of Late Real Immortal!
Five were Earth Immortals!
Of those, two were the Song brothers; one was Huo Qitian, and the other two had an even more terrifying aura.
They were likely the equivalent of the founding ancestors of the Huo Family.
Good heavens, could they make this any more grand?
“Mr. Jiang, I suppose you’re aware of Shuyu’s situation?”
“Sort of. So, you want me to become your family’s son-in-law, huh?” Jiang Xiaobai responded nonchalantly, “That’s impossible. I’m married.”
At this remark, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Feisty Jiang Xiaobai, speaking out of turn!
“Mr. Jiang, please don’t misunderstand, that’s not what we mean.”
“Shuyu told me about your situation. First, tell me, how did you come to learn the Nine Heavens Stellar Sword Technique?”
Huo Qitian asked with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai casually made up an excuse, “I found a stone tablet with a manual inscribed on it. I practiced according to it and picked it up.”
Song Wenguang frowned in the assistantioxidant_editor, “But how did you learn the celestial sword technique?”
“It’s impossible to find that on a random piece of stone tablet!”
“Can’t I learn it online? This technique is so simple, anyhow. I only needed a few minutes to grasp it thoroughly.”
Jiang Xiaobai boasted.
The Song brothers frowned.
His audacity was astounding.
Regardless, they weren’t going to press him further. It was enough to prove Jiang Xiaobai’s incredible strength.
“In that case, our Huo Family would like to invite Mr. Jiang to become a disciple of the Stellar Sword Sect!”
Once Huo Qitian finished speaking, Song Wenxing nodded approvingly, “That’s right, if you’re willing to join, I’ll immediately make you a Saint Son, and all resources will be tilted to your favor. No matter what you want, you’ll have it!”
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled.
“Can my becoming a Stellar Sword Sect disciple help your Huo Family?”
Everyone nodded in unison.
Jiang Xiaobai was even more confused, “Hold on, you said that a disciple from another world’s major sect is coming to steal away Huo Shuyu. What does that have to do with the Stellar Sword Sect?”
The room fell silent at his question.
Huo Qitian and Song Wenxing exchanged glances.
In the end, it was Song Wenxing who broke the silence.
“Here’s the thing. That world is among the upper three thousand worlds, albeit a rather unknown one.”
“Yet it is still vastly superior compared to our middle three thousand worlds.”
“The reason for inviting you to join our Stellar Sword Sect is that we have backing in an upper three thousand world.”
“If you are cultivated and accepted as a disciple by the formidable sect in that upper three thousand world, they’d never dare touch a hair of the Huo family!”
Song Wenxing’s words exuded a domineering aura.
Jiang Xiaobai finally figured it out.
So, the Huo Family was executing a roundabout plan of action?
If they couldn’t handle it, they’d ask for help from someone else who could then find even stronger people to lend a hand?
So Jiang Xiaobai had become a connection point between the Huo family and the Stellar Sword Sect.
He’d also become a direction for the future rise of the Stellar Sword Sect.
“Actually, our Stellar Sword Sect and the Huo Family have been allies for generations. Our relationship is quite good.”
“By the time you’re truly accepted by the powerful sect of that upper three thousand worlds, the sect in question would not dare to meddle with us.”
Song Wenxing smiled faintly, “And you certainly qualify.”
“Your power is tremendous, even monstrous. Though you may have some special treasures, your strength is undeniable.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
Then he turned to Huo Shuyu, “Well, I’m doing this to help you after all. I did make a promise to you.”
Huo Shuyu was very grateful for this.
“Then tell me, which upper three thousand world does the Stellar Sword Sect rely on? How strong are they?”
Song Wenxing laughed, “The upper three thousand worlds are divided into three levels. The first consists of the most ordinary worlds. The second level is the Five Elements World. The third level is the paramount worlds in the upper three thousand!”
“The world that the Stellar Sword Sect depends on is one of the paramount worlds in the upper three thousand, and in the Thousand Mist World, the Purgatory God Sword Sect is a force to be reckoned with!”
“Oh, wow, that’s so strong and has such an awesome name!”
Jiang Xiaobai clapped his hands in astonishment.
