Chapter 110 - 110: 110: Agreeing to Cooperate
Jiang Xiaobai looked calmly at the skinny figure before him, cutting straight to the chase.
“Ao Cangtian, I know everything about you.”
“Not only that, I have also found your former attendant.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a trace of viciousness appear in Ao Cangtian’s eyes, with an aura of murderous intent enveloping the entire cell.
“Don’t panic.”
Jiang Xiaobai remained calm: “I know you have your plan, but I’m not here to disrupt it, I’m here to discuss with you.”
“The ancient tribe will arrive tomorrow.”
Ao Cangtian was not as arrogant and boastful as he was recorded. On the contrary, he was very astute. With his intelligence, he quickly understood Jiang Xiaobai’s meaning.
The arrival of the ancient tribe meant his life was in danger. “You are aware of my situation. I want to make a deal with you.”
“What kind of deal?” Ao Cangtian asked with interest.
“If things become hopeless, I will let you out and bring your former attendant with me.”
Jiang Xiaobai said seriously, “At that time, you will regain your innocence, and I know that you want to seize this opportunity to root out and kill the true culprit who framed you in Dragon Valley.”
“I’ll tell you honestly, the true instigator is Ao Zheng and his line.”
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, there was silence in the cell.
Ao Cangtian, as if having known this all along, showed no signs of surprise on his face.
“You knew all along?” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows.
“What good is it if I knew? After what happened back then, Dragon Valley is already very weak. If I come out now and kill them, what good would it do?”
Ao Cangtian sneered, “If this line dies, it would inevitably implicate many powerhouses of Dragon Valley. At that time, Dragon Valley’s strength will weaken further, and the ancient tribe would really have a chance to dominate Dragon Valley.”
“But in reality, now Ao Zheng and his clan are conspiring with the ancient tribe, their intention is unclear, but it appears that they want to completely betray Dragon Valley.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled and said, “What’s the difference between this and killing them? At least after they are killed, Dragon Valley will not have to worry about being attacked from behind.”
Ao Cangtian’s eyes squinted as he looked up at Jiang Xiaobai, the chains behind him making constant clanging noises.
He was shocked.
At the time, he roughly knew that he was framed by people like Ao Zheng, but he just thought that they were jealous of his position in Dragon Valley and wanted to take him down.
But now, Jiang Xiaobai’s words completely overturned his thinking.
It Ao Zheng and his clan were colluding with the ancient tribe, it would be a different story.
“Is this true?” Ao Cangtian asked coldly.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, then detailed all the things he had discovered, and also informed Ao Cangtian of the current situation in Dragon Valley.
“Currently Ao Yan has become the disciple of Martial Sea Immortal Venerable, and with Jade Ling Palace backing Dragon Valley, the timing is perfect. It’s a good time for you to clear your name.”
It took a while for Ao Cangtian to respond: “Even if I agreed, do you have any means of freeing me?”
“The chains on my body are unbreakable even for a tribulation-stage cultivator.”
Zing!
Just as Ao Cangtian finished speaking, a flash of red light swept in front of him. He then saw in the dim light what exactly it was.
A sword that surpasses divine-grade!
“This… How do you possess such a treasure?” Ao Cangtian stared at Jiang Xiaobai in shock.
Jiang Xiaobai drew a deep breath, and his expression became serious.
“To tell you the truth, I have had a great fortune.”
“Before this, I learned pill melting skill from that old man and also inherited his storage ring. However, the ring had a seal. I could only open it after I had inducted my Qi and reached the Qi refining phase.”
“This sword is a treasure from the storage ring, along with some superior magic pills and skills…’
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t finish his sentence to leave room for a sense of mystery.
At this time, it seemed like everything he said was true.
If there were any contemporary movie actors watching at the side, they probably would have praised Jiang Xiaobai’s acting enthusiastically.
Of course, Ao Cangtian believed it.
“Sir, everyone has their secrets, but believe me, I have no ill intentions toward Dragon Valley.”
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly said, “Now, Elder Ao Wu has already taken me as his disciple.”
Upon hearing this, Ao Cangtian was even more stunned and his gaze was fixed on Jiang Xiaobai, sizing him up.
“You? Elder Ao Wu took you as his disciple?”
Jiang Xiaobai scratched his nose, “Maybe it’s because my cultivation talent is a bit too extraordinary.”
“Bullshit, I’ve found that you really have thick skin.”
Ao Cangtian gave a cold snort, but he had already believed eighty percent of Jiang Xiaobai’s words. Afterward, he turned his eyes to the Abyss Rainbow in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
“Treasures of such grade can naturally break the chains. In this case, the plan can proceed.” After a long pause, Ao Cangtian suddenly spoke.
Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed, “Sir, does this mean you have agreed?”
“Hehe, don’t get too excited yet. Even if I get out, it will be of no use. Locked up for so many years, my strength has diminished a lot. If I could return to my peak state, there would be a sliver of hope, but that’s practically imp…”
Ao Cangtian didn’t get to finish his sentence, as he abruptly fell silent.
This was because Jiang Xiaobai produced a handful of elixirs. Moreover, with a wave of his hand, a pile of bottles and jars containing elixirs appeared on the ground.
“Sir, rest assured about this. These elixirs can heal your injuries and help you recover your strength. They work quite well. You can feel it yourself.”
Jiang Xiaobai pushed all the elixirs in front of Ao Cangtian with a grin.
All these things were concocted by him, and with his pill-refining skill, the elixirs were naturally top-grade.
Ao Cangtian was so surprised by Jiang Xiaobai’s move that he was rendered speechless.
After a long pause, he finally spat out a sentence.
“Damn rich kid, how many good things do you have?” Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head and gave a cheeky grin, “That’s all, really.” Ao Cangtian glared at him, implying I-Don’t-Believe-You.
But he didn’t bother to expose the lie, and looking at the numerous elixirs before him, he was already salivating.
“There’s no time to lose. I will remove your shackles now, and when it’s time, I will contact you and you can just come out.” Jiang Xiaobai urged impatiently.
Seeing Ao Cangtian nodding, Jiang Xiaobai chortled and waved the Abyss Rainbow.
The crisp sound of metal collision echoed, the chains that had bound Ao Cangtian for a hundred years fell to the ground.
Freed from the shackles, Ao Cangtian felt an indescribable relief throughout his body.
He could hardly resist a joyful howl..
