Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Look for Someone

Oh, there was also an aunt.

Although Gu Wanqing was somewhat neurotic at times, Jiang Xiaobai considered her a friend.

There was no reason to let her fall into danger.

“Can you contact your aunt?” Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.

After he finished speaking, he saw Hu Da rub his head.

With a simple and slightly shy smile on his face.

“Well… I could have contacted her, but for some reason, I can’t find my aunt’s transmission token… and then…”

Jiang Xiaobai fell silent.

It seemed like this wasn’t the first or second time this had happened.

This guy had even lost his own transmission token before.

It was really strange, considering they were both kept inside storage rings, how could they disappear?

“Let’s find a safe place first, then discuss what to do next.”

Suggesting so, Jiang Xiaobai led the group to do just that.

After all, they were still quite close to the battlefield, and no one knew how the situation there might evolve. What if the monsters opened another void portal?

If the battlefield expanded and reached them, they would die as well.

And… his guess was indeed accurate!

Not long after Jiang Xiaobai and the others left, although the Immortal Alliance had promptly placed a grand formation on Dust Star,

The monsters still used special methods to open two more spatial passages.

And the three portals surrounded all the cultivators within them.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield turned around, and the cultivators had to divert some of their energy to deal with the other monsters.

Of course, there were also a constant flow of cultivators arriving from other places, and the Immortal Alliance had ways to transport them in from outside.

For a time, the situation on the battlefield was extremely tense.

The monsters, like tides, surged towards all the cultivators, seemingly inexhaustible.

…

Before long, Jiang Xiaobai and the others discovered a main city on Dust Star.

In the entire astral world, there were three main cities, each enormous in size and populous. Cultivators who came to this world to practice typically sought out these main cities for rest and cultivation.

However, what puzzled them was that upon entering the main city, all the individuals above the Earth Immortal realm were gone!

They found out after asking around that they all had gone out to fight.

Moreover, it seemed that regardless of any grudges or enmities, everyone was willing to put their differences aside in the face of the monsters.

The monsters were the unified enemy.

All along the way, Jiang Xiaobai was also pondering this matter.

Firstly, there was no doubt that these monsters were similar to the one that killed a member of the Ma Family, but where did these monsters come from?

It seemed their goal was to confront human cultivators.

If that was so, why couldn’t the Immortal Alliance, the mightiest power combined from thousands of worlds, find the enemy’s lair and annihilate them all?

The final answer was that the Immortal Alliance couldn’t do it!

Otherwise, based on what Jiang Xiaobai knew about human cultivators, they would never allow monsters to exist in the cultivating world if they could help it.

At the very least, they would confine the monsters to the outskirts.

Another question was why these monsters appeared here?

It must have something to do with Yang Cheng, since the trouble started with him.

From the previous conversation between Wei Changqing and Yang Cheng, Jiang Xiaobai assumed that Ying Ai was related to the item in the storage ring.

“The item, storage ring… could it be that bead containing special energy? Does Yang Cheng also have one?”

Jiang Xiaobai stood on the main streets of the city, narrowing his eyes. He too wanted to ask the people around about the monsters.

But it seemed that few people beneath the Earth Immortal realm knew anything, at least from the many they asked, no one knew.

The entire main city of Chengdu was in a state of panic.

Jiang Xiaobai had also asked the system, but the system did not have an answer.

With no other choice, he quietly sidled up to Song Xue, “Hey, you’re from the pawnshop force, and Bai He seems to know everything. But why don’t you know what’s going on with these things?”

“I can’t touch the core matters, and besides, the Saint doesn’t need to tell me everything!”

Song Xue, with a wry smile, said, “If I knew, I would’ve told you already, why would you need to ask me?”

“What’s your relationship with Bai He?”

With these words, Song Xue fell silent for a while, “I’m one of the orphans he adopted. By rights, I should call him ‘father,’ but he never allows us to do that.”

“He says he doesn’t deserve to be called our father and has us call him ‘the Saint’ instead.”

This made Jiang Xiaobai puzzled. Who didn’t like being a dad?

“How many orphans like you are there?”

“From what I know, there’s tens of thousands…”

“…”

Jiang Xiaobai wondered if Bai He was actually a great philanthropist.

This guy was incredibly cunning; surely he wasn’t up to any good, but why would he think to adopt so many orphans?

In the end, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t ponder over this matter for too long and instead started to analyze the current situation.

They obviously couldn’t interfere in the monster battlefield, but sitting around waiting for death was not Jiang Xiaobai’s style, not to mention Gu Wanqing was still here.

Furthermore, it was possible that Jiang Yu and Yuan Chongwei, those two simpletons, were involved as well.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. He looked at the bandaged trio next to him, drawing a sharp breath.

If those two simpletons joined in, the potential power of these five people would be terrifying indeed!

They might even become really good friends!

“What are you thinking about?”

Song Xue looked at Jiang Xiaobai, “You’re not thinking about going out and stirring up trouble, looking for some excitement, are you?”

“It’s not totally out of the question…”

“You stop right there! The situation with that monster must be serious, and the Immortal Alliance is taking it this seriously. You’ve just become an Earth Immortal, so don’t go showing off!”

Song Xue said earnestly, “Us not getting in the way is the biggest help we can provide!”

“I didn’t say I wanted to get in the way. Look, the battlefield is so intense. The Immortal Alliance will definitely try to contain the monster within a certain area, and experts from all over the world are rushing over to help. In reality, there is no danger.”

“We just need to be cautious and steer clear of the battlefield while looking for teammates. Who knows, we might even gain some benefits. Didn’t you say Dust Star’s most valuable thing is its ores, the pricey ones?”

“After coming all this way, even if we don’t complete the sect’s mission, we can’t just miss out on the benefits, right?”

“What do you think? And besides, as long as we don’t run into a horde of monsters, we can still make an escape.”

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, everyone was indeed tempted.

After all, who wouldn’t want benefits?

However, what the trio was more concerned with was Jiang Xiaobai’s plan to look for people.

Look for whom?

It had to be their little aunt, Gu Wanqing, of course!

The trio felt a surge of emotion, and they almost knelt down to apologize to Jiang Xiaobai.

That’s what true brotherhood, true affection, was all about!

But before they could express their feelings, Song Xue suddenly shook her head.

“No, it’s too risky. It’s too dangerous outside, and even if you don’t run into those monsters, if the people from the Immortal Alliance find out, they might come after you!”

“Jiang Xiaobai, just stay put. The Immortal Alliance should be able to…”

Song Xue had not finished speaking when suddenly a fireball exploded not far from the main city.

The sound of battle followed.

All the people in the main city of Chengdu looked at each other in dismay!

Had the Immortal Alliance been defeated?
