Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Odd Changes, Even Remains the Same?
The instant they saw the golden light, both of them felt their scalps tingling!

Why would someone suddenly appear in front of them at this time to obstruct their way?

There was no time to think too much, the leader of them who was a master at the early stage of the Great Achievement immediately wanted to rush forward with his long sword to fend off the small tower radiating the golden light.

However, his face changed drastically in an instant!

As the golden tower gradually approached, he could clearly feel an overpowering terror envelop him.

This feeling was just like a big bell dropping over him.

He instantly realized that he was not capable of resisting this attack, but it was already too late.

Just at the moment he realized it, the little golden tower was already smashed right into his head.

Boom!

From the perspective of the people behind, his head instantly turned into a cloud of blood!

The remaining master at the early stage of the Great Achievement from the Towards Heaven Sect was completely dumbfounded!

A master at the early stage of Great Achievement, dropped dead instantly?

Died so easily?

Without even a moment or chance to resist?

In an instant, the remaining man felt chilled to the bone, with the feeling his end time had come.

However, strangely enough, the little golden tower disappeared instantly after killing a person, with no clue as to where it went.

But the remaining man knew, if he did not run away right now, he was done for!

“I’m just slightly far from the Sect, just a slight distance away!”

The master yelled furiously in his heart, rushing to flee forward desperately.

And he held the latter part of the cultivation method obtained from the auction in his hands!

“Chase, we must not let him escape!”

Behind him, five early-stage Great Achievement masters were in hot pursuit, five men chasing one man, all at more or less the same level.

Even thwarted by the sudden advent of that golden tower, that master from Towards Heaven Sect was delayed for a while.

Being caught up was just a matter of time.

Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, the five men had him surrounded, and without another word, an all-around attack stormed towards him.

Despite being a master at the early stage of Great Achievement, there was no reason for him to survive being besieged by so many peers.

A battle of such advanced masters was extremely fierce and quick.

They could make hundreds of moves within a blink of an eye, far beyond the imagination of Divided Spirit Realm.

Within less than half a minute, five men launched the attack, and he was thoroughly cut down.

Not even the remains were left of this Towards Heaven Sect master!

Even if, he had methods that could enhance the intensity of his spirit, as the matter of fact, the first half of his cultivation method was known throughout the entire holy city!

The five of them had killed him, secured the stuff and vanished into thin air in an instant.

“Congratulations host on completing the task, the reward has been issued.”

…

At a tea stand in the holy city district, Jiang Xiaobai was leisurely sipping his tea with a calm look on his face.

Mindful of the system’s voice, he didn’t pay much attention.

Because he knew that this was a task bound to be completed.

“With the reward in hand, perhaps it’s time to make good use of this opportunity to cultivate.”

In his heart, Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself: “There are too many questions in my mind, I should find a chance to ask my master and Baihe.”

“Both of them indeed are too mysterious.”

Deep in thought, Jiang Xiaobai finished his tea, placed a spirit stone as the payment, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, two people suddenly occupied the seat across him!

Their sudden appearance did not alert anyone, as if they had been sitting there all along.

Upon seeing them, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened.

To his surprise, the arrivals were Gu Ning and Baihe!

“Did both of you appear together?”

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows questioningly.

If there wasn’t any secret between these two, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

With a casual look, Gu Ning ordered a pot of tea from the waiter, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

“I know you have many questions in your mind, so I brought Baihe here to meet you.”

“This is your only chance to ask, once finished, get out and get to serious cultivation.”

At this, Jiang Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully, even though he was surprised.

He knew that perhaps this was his only chance, if he didn’t take it, many future matters would cause excruciating headaches.

“Alright then, the first question, and also my biggest question.”

“Why did you insist on making me your disciple at the beginning?”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Gu Ning.

However, Gu Ning’s expression remained unchanged, her phoenix eyes fixed on Jiang Xiaobai’s.

“Very simple, because you are different from others.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Xiaobai was astonished, and at the same time, shocked.

Does that mean his being keyed into the system had been discovered by others?

“You are not a person of this world.”

Meanwhile, Baihe jokingly commented on the side.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Indeed, he has two secrets.

One is his identity as a person who crossed over from another world, the second is the system!

The system could be said to be the greatest secret!

If this was found by others, would they detain him for research for hundreds of years?

“I know it’s your secret. Don’t be nervous, because we are not people of this world either.”

Baihe laughed softly while sipping her tea.

This left Jiang Xiaobai even more confused – were these two also from another world? Could they also possess systems?

Well, that’s getting exciting!’

At the moment, an idea surged abruptly in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart, a secret only known among the transmigrants.

Then he saw Jiang Xiaobai suddenly leaning on the table, with a mysterious smile filling his face.

Under the surprised gaze of Baihe and Gu Ning, he uttered a sentence.

“Is it odd or not?”

For a time, the atmosphere around the small table was awkward.

The two people across him looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if they were looking at a fool.

Jiang Xiaobai felt a bit puzzled, why wasn’t there any reaction from the two? That wasn’t right.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Gu Ning raised her eyebrows in question.

“You two don’t know?”

“Do I have to know?”

Looking at the surprised Gu Ning, for some reason, Jiang Xiaobai felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

He was expecting to meet his fellow countryman, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

“Xiaobai, you just need to remember that you are different from others.”

Gu Ning spoke softly, “Even though I was a bit selfish when I made you my disciple initially, you have passed my test, and are my genuine disciple regardless.”

“So, don’t worry, I have no reason to set you up.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. At least, Gu Ning hadn’t set him up until now. Though, his master always seemed somewhat frivolous no matter how he looked at him.

“Do you have other questions?” Baihe raised her eyebrows.

At this, Jiang Xiaobai was at a loss for words. Originally, he had a lot of questions in his heart, but after the previous excitement, he had somehow forgotten all of them.

“Hmm… there is one more, I really want to know, how did you realize that I possessed merit, and also why do I feel that in this world, only you two know about the merit?”
