Chapter 1678 - 1679: The Best Bait
Ling Xiao has always been prideful. If Bai Qiu was the undisputed star among the White Tiger Clan, then Ling Xiao was the most dazzling bloom amid the myriad flowers of the Vermilion Bird Clan.
For Ling Xiao, who had risen step by step among the Vermilion Bird Clan’s geniuses, she believed that apart from the Supreme Immortal Emperor, no one could ever stand above her.
Thus, when Bai Qiu initially discovered that Ling Xiao was seeking refuge with the Xiao Tribe, he felt something was amiss, leading him to provoke Ling Xiao intentionally through various actions.
Bai Qiu only wanted to confirm whether the Ling Xiao of today was still the Ling Xiao he had once known.
And since Ling Xiao agreed to face his provocations, Bai Qiu was certain that deep down, Ling Xiao remained the same prideful person.
This only made Bai Qiu more curious about what plans Ling Xiao had now.
"It’s a pity there’s still no news from the Xuanwu Clan. If we could team up with all four sacred beasts, even the Earth Immortals from the Luo Clan wouldn’t be untouchable, right?"
Long Ao Tian, ever carefree, didn’t bother with the complexities and was instead hoping to stir the pot by having yet another mythical beast join the fray.
Hearing this, Bai Qiu rolled his eyes inwardly in exasperation. Dealing with Ling Xiao alone was already a headache; if another sacred beast turned up, Bai Qiu doubted he could keep the situation under his control.
After all, their alliance with the Demon Clan was merely a fallback. Their true goal remained unchanged—to strike at the entire Luo Clan.
"I wonder how Su Chengyu is doing?"
