Myriad Daos of the Heaven

With that one sentence, silence descended.

Everyone felt this Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator was unbelievably arrogant.

It was as if he owned the place, free to do as he wished.

If Jiang Jichen had remained silent, it would have been one thing, but his words made Bai Zihua practically explode with rage.

He had snatched the Ancient Medicine Cauldron from Jiang Jichen's hands, and though it was a supreme treasure, it wasn't of much use to him.

Conversely, the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth possessed terrifyingly powerful defenses, making it countless times more impenetrable than the Ancient Medicine Cauldron.

He had been in agony over it ever since!

And now, Jiang Jichen wasn't even mentioning the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth, demanding the Ancient Medicine Cauldron back directly.

'Abominable! In your dreams!'

The Ghost Blood Person, Bai Zihua, furiously pointed at Jiang Jichen and said to the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm, "Young Master Fu, this kid's real name is Jiang Jichen! He's a wanted criminal in the Heavenly Dao Realm. We should capture him and claim the bounty from the Heavenly Dao Realm's Law Enforcement Association."

The Ghost Blood Person's words plunged the crowd into an even deeper, deathly silence.

To think that the man before them was a wanted criminal from the Heavenly Dao Realm.

And they seemed to have vaguely heard the name Jiang Jichen before.

The faces of Han Qing, Luochen Fairy, Zhou Qiang, and the Three Strange Bandits all paled.

After all, they knew exactly what it meant to be a wanted criminal in the Heavenly Dao Realm.

And so, they worried for Jiang Jichen.

As for Lingchen being Jiang Jichen, none of that was important.

Having spent the last few days together, they had become a cohesive group, with Jiang Jichen as their leader.

Without him, all would be lost for the Luochen Sect.

Even Young Master Fu, the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm, the Beastman King, and the Undead Female Cultivator had a strange glint in their eyes.

Only Jiang Jichen remained utterly serene, his expression as calm as still water, as if what the Ghost Blood Person Bai Zihua had revealed was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Jiang Jichen stared at the Ghost Blood Person, Bai Zihua, and said, "That's right, I am Jiang Jichen. But what can you do to me? Right now, only I can sense the changes in the Spiritual Qi in the Desert of Extinct Spirit. Without me, you'll never find the secret location. As for wanting to detain me, or kill me... you're welcome to try!"

"As for you, Bai Zihua, if you don't return my Ancient Medicine Cauldron today, then you can forget about us cooperating to find the secret location."

Bai Zihua was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Jiang Jichen to be so calm after his identity was exposed. This was not what he had imagined.

Moreover, the reactions from Young Master Fu, the genius from the Heavenly Dao Realm, and the others were also not what he'd expected.

As for the three servants who had gone to invite Jiang Jichen earlier, upon hearing the Ghost Blood Person say that Jiang Jichen was a wanted criminal from the Heavenly Dao Realm, they were secretly delighted, feeling that their chance for revenge had arrived.

Earlier, they had been harshly berated by Jiang Jichen. Although they remained respectful on the surface and didn't dare say anything, they already harbored a deep-seated hatred for him.

If a chance to kill him arose, they would absolutely not let it slip by.

"To think a wanted criminal from the Heavenly Dao Realm would dare to be so arrogant! He deserves to die!"

"He even dared to threaten our masters. Heh, he's courting death."

"You? Qualified to cooperate with our masters? Hmph! If you dare defy us, we'll slaughter your companions one by one. And the woman... she'll naturally be a gift for our masters!"

The three servants spoke coldly.

Arrogance filled their faces as they looked down on Jiang Jichen and his group, as if pronouncing their doom.

After they finished speaking, they stared at Jiang Jichen with smug self-satisfaction.

A wave of satisfaction washed over them, as if they had finally vented their frustration.

In their eyes, Jiang Jichen had no choice but to submit.

And then, they could humiliate him however they pleased.

But a chilling smile appeared on Jiang Jichen's face as he said, "It seems you've forgotten what I just said!"

"I said that if you dared to threaten me like this again, I would kill you, even if your master was standing right here!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen's figure suddenly vanished from his spot.

THWUMP!

The Beastman King's servant suddenly had a hole punched clean through his Qi Sea.

Qi Sea annihilated. Spirit Infant shattered. Dead.

Then, the other two servants' bodies suddenly lifted off the ground.

A single hand had clamped around their necks, hoisting them into the air.

It was, of course, Jiang Jichen.

At his feet lay a corpse, its blood staining the sand.

The other two, dangling from his single-handed grip on their necks, struggled while their eyes filled with terror and despair.

This...

Everyone was stunned. It had all happened too fast, in the blink of an eye.

They were stunned by Jiang Jichen's speed!

Even if the three geniuses from the Six Paths Illusion Realm's top rankings had wanted to intervene, they wouldn't have been fast enough.

Because Jiang Jichen had just utilized the subtleties of his Void Shadowless Technique.

It was practically a form of teleportation.

"My lord, save us!"

Though unable to speak, they were Nascent Soul Old Monsters. Using a Secret Technique to form their words, they screamed in terror.

"Little Brother Jiang, stay your hand!"

Young Master Fu, the genius cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Realm, spoke up to stop him.

But his voice carried a tone of command.

"He is my man, Jiang Jichen. You have no right to touch him!"

The Undead Female Cultivator also spoke, her voice chilling.

CRACK!

However, the moment Young Master Fu and the Undead Female Cultivator finished speaking, they heard the sound of necks snapping.

Two Spirit Infants shot out. Jiang Jichen simply raised his fist and obliterated them with a single punch, an absolute and final kill.

Only then did Jiang Jichen's calm voice drift out. "They threatened me the moment they appeared, wanting to kill my companions. I warned them. They just didn't listen."

The faces of Young Master Fu, the Undead Female Cultivator, and the Beastman King darkened simultaneously, their expressions turning foul.

But Jiang Jichen's voice continued, "I am here to cooperate. The prerequisite for cooperation is respect. Also, Bai Zihua needs to return my Ancient Medicine Cauldron. So, what's your decision?"

To Jiang Jichen, killing three Nascent Soul Old Monsters seemed like a completely trivial matter.

Before, he had to use the name Lingchen because he wasn't strong enough.

Now, he had reached the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm. He had become strong enough to fear nothing.

That was why, when the Ghost Blood Person Bai Zihua exposed his true name and identity, he had faced it with such indifference.

Besides, he had used the name Lingchen in the past. It wouldn't be difficult for someone to make the connection and uncover his identity.

Therefore, he no longer had any need to hide his identity.

In the Six Paths Illusion Realm, as long as you were strong enough, you commanded respect. No one could touch you.

Jiang Jichen was incredibly assertive at this moment, even when facing individuals ranked in the top one hundred of the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

The people behind the three experts thought their masters would surely attack in a rage and annihilate Jiang Jichen.

Even the ten attendants behind Young Master Fu were itching to move, ready to strike at any moment.

However, at that moment, they suddenly heard Young Master Fu burst into laughter. "Jiang Jichen, you are the most interesting person I have ever met. I admire your spirit. Zihua, give the Medicine Cauldron back to Young Master Jiang!"

This turn of events left the crowd stunned.

But the Ghost Blood Person, Bai Zihua, had no choice but to obey the command and return the Ancient Medicine Cauldron to Jiang Jichen.

And just like that, Jiang Jichen had swindled the Ancient Medicine Cauldron back.

This left the Ghost Blood Person, Bai Zihua, with eyes burning red, on the very verge of rampaging.
