Chapter 400: 401: Shocking Xiong Da for 100 Years

Huh?

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

Yang Guang’s sleepiness vanished completely as he rose from the bath, looking towards Li Xiaobai to seek his opinion.

Li Xiaobai waved his hand nonchalantly, “Didn’t you see we’re in the middle of something important? Let him wait outside!”

Yang Guang: “…”

Guard: “…”

The cultivators: “…”

What important thing, isn’t it just soaking in a bath?

Can’t you talk about wearing small shoes in a more ethereal and detached manner?

Aren’t you just trying to kill Xiong Da’s spirit on purpose?

“Um… Young Master Li, are we sure it’s okay to do this? Xiong Da must be pretty anxious right now, right?”

Yang Guang asked, since they were all devoted to defending the frontier in their prime years. The situation on the third battlefield must be extremely tense by now; arriving a minute earlier for reinforcements could mean saving one more life.

“Stay calm, Xiong Da being able to come over means that the situation on the battlefield has stabilized temporarily. There’s no rush for the moment.”

Li Xiaobai snorted lightly as he spoke.

It was clear that Xiong Da had gotten involved with the people from Fire Qilin Cave. When he had sworn an oath with his Dao heart earlier, the Saint Heir of Fire Qilin Cave hadn’t arrived yet, and now the latter had taken advantage of the loophole.

As long as the other party did not clearly state their position, even getting close to Fire Qilin Cave wouldn’t be considered a betrayal. This guy was just relying on that point to remain so nonchalant these past few days.

However, with the crisis now upon them, he would soon see the reality of who could really help him tide over the difficulties.

It was at this moment that the cultivators outside the hall spoke up again.

“Report, Lord Xiong outside the hall says he has an urgent matter to report, it’s extremely urgent, and requests City Lord Yang to meet him immediately!”

“Right, that’s enough, let him in.”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Understood!”

A sturdy and robust figure entered from outside the hall. At this moment, Xiong Da’s eyes were bulging, practically popping out of their sockets, stunned beyond belief by the scene in front of him.

City Lord Yang, the Saint Heir of Fire Qilin Cave, and Li Xiaobai were actually soaking in a bath together.

Most crucially, this place was the City Lord’s Mansion’s grand hall, a solemn and sacred venue, and it had been transformed into a bathhouse – was this the new normal for people nowadays?

Moreover, Yang Guang, who was usually meticulous in his actions, now seemed to have no idea where even the map was, looking completely like a salted fish.

“So, it’s Lord Xiong. On your way here, did you notice the changes within the Holy City?”

Li Xiaobai chuckled.

His words did remind Xiong Da that on his way here, he had been shocked no less than ten times.

First and foremost was the population in the Holy City; it was dozens of times larger than before, and to say the streets were overcrowded was not an overstatement. He had asked some cultivators, and the answers he got were all shockingly consistent: all the people in the city were cultivators from the fourth battlefield, here for rest and relaxation.

Xiong Da’s mind was thrown into turmoil. Had the Fourth Battlefield become so free that one didn’t need to take turns changing guard and defending it?

However, what shocked him even more was the sight that entered his field of vision, a shop called “Good Items Store” and “Tangneng First-class”, where cultivators were jostling in front of the door, eagerly purchasing an item named Huazi.

Moreover, the cultivators entering and exiting the Good Items Store were all wrapped in bathrobes, bare-shouldered and bare-legged, both men and women, without exception.

Since when had the borderlands become so open?

The Holy City was now filled with laughter and lively conversation, bustling with noise, a stark contrast to the desolation of a few days ago.

It was unimaginable what could have happened in the Holy City during the days of his absence to account for such enormous changes?

The style was completely different from before!

“Look… Look, within the Holy City there is a buzz of activity, crowds of people, and that Good Items Store seems to be exceptionally popular.”

“When I arrived, I saw many cultivators from the Fourth Battlefield all gathered in the Holy City. May I ask, Senior Li, what has happened in the Holy City these past days?”

Xiong Da swallowed nervously, his expression a bit dazed, as he asked.

“Heh, it’s nothing major, just as you see, several new shops have been opened in the city, attracting the cultivators from the Fourth Battlefield to come and shop, that’s all,” replied Li Xiaobai with a relaxed expression, showing no signs of arrogance or impatience.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Da immediately snapped back to reality. He was here for reinforcements; the changes in the Holy City could be explored later. Right now, he had to seek help.

“If the cultivators from the Fourth Battlefield are gathered here, and Lord Cai is not defending the frontier, may I ask what has become of the Flesh Mountain in the battlefield?”

“Naturally, it has been swept clean. The Flesh Mountain is but a trifle; my subordinates can exterminate it with a flick of their wrist!”

Cai Kunxu casually nibbled on a Huazi, his demeanor equally composed. The times had changed; one didn’t need to fight the Flesh Mountain with real swords and spears anymore. A single Huazi could solve all problems, and it was simply delightful.

“Lord Xiong said there was an urgent matter to report. What is it?” Cai Kunxu asked with a glint of mockery in his eyes.

“The black flames that pervaded my Third Battlefield have suddenly vanished without a trace, and overnight the Flesh Mountain has taken over the battlefield. Even though I have repeatedly battled on the field, the formidable Flesh Mountain keeps reappearing within it,”

“My subordinates have also suffered heavy casualties, and it’s difficult to withstand the next wave of the Flesh Mountain’s onslaught. Therefore, I would like to request Lord Cai to send troops to aid me!”

Xiong Da quickly recounted the situation of the Third Battlefield and then waited somewhat uneasily for Yang Guang and the others to respond.

He had already noticed something off about the atmosphere among these people; they did not seem to take him seriously at all. It was clear that his collusion with the Fire Qilin Cave’s Saint Heir had been exposed, and now Li Xiaobai no longer trusted him.

With Cai Kunxu following Li Xiaobai’s lead, if Li Xiaobai refused his request for aid and the Fourth Battlefield did not send troops, his Third Battlefield might be doomed.

The First and Second Battlefields were too far away to address his urgent crisis. The only hope for timely assistance was from the Fourth Battlefield, and even if he sought help, the other two battlefields would likely remain on the sidelines, indifferent to his plight.

“I understand the situation now. Senior Li, what is your opinion?” asked Cai Kunxu, smiling and glancing at Li Xiaobai. He enjoyed the feeling of having control over someone else’s fate, especially when backed by a powerful supporter.

“Well, they are all brave soldiers defending the frontier, naturally, we must save them. The four battlefields share a common enemy, and only by aiding each other can we collectively withstand the invasion of the Flesh Mountain. Now that the Third Battlefield is in trouble, how can we stand by and do nothing?” Li Xiaobai said slowly.

“Many thanks, Senior Li!”

Xiong Da’s face brightened with joy, as long as Cai Kunxu was willing to send troops, everything was negotiable. But the next second, his expression froze.

“But rescuing can’t be done for free, Lord Xiong must offer something of equivalent value for the trade,” said Xiaobai.
