He then began to search for other people, occasionally conversing with Ao Chang, looking for any slip-ups.

To his surprise, through his constant probing, Jiang Xiaobai learned that many elders within Dragon Valley, including those on the stage, were dissatisfied with him.

Some even frequently urged Ao Wan to have him killed.

In the process, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to have found a new breakthrough.

This was no longer about any issues with the ancient tribe.

With murder and poisoning on the table, Jiang Xiaobai would not take it lying down.

Even if he was unable to retaliate against the ancient tribe, he wouldn’t hold back against those who targeted him. He would ensure their elimination, make their life hell even if it took his own life.

Subsequently, Jiang Xiaobai pretended to wander around Dragon Valley, when in reality, he was using the Earth Fiend 72 Changes to find the person behind the scenes.

He still had a lot of hard work ahead of him.

Fortunately, his target range was small. Jiang Xiaobai believed that as long as he was careful and observed diligently, he would definitely spot the problem.

One day, he lingered outside the Tenth Elder’s courtyard like a mosquito, ready to leave after finding no clues.

Suddenly, a terrifying presence descended.

Jiang Xiaobai promptly enveloped himself with the concealment formation he had borrowed from Ao Cheng while keeping a close watch on the newcomer.

The moment he saw the approaching figure, he furrowed his brows.

It was a Grand Elder from Dragon Valley!

Dragon Valley had countless branches that housed many formidable individuals. Those older and more powerful could be referred to as Grand Elders.

These people were the foundation of Dragon Valley, usually just practicing in seclusion. They wouldn’t normally come out unless something significant occurred, let alone personally seek out a junior Elder.

Jiang Xiaobai sensed something was amiss immediately.

The Grand Elder swept the surroundings upon arrival. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaobai used the formation compass, which concealed him well enough to avoid exposure.

Then, the Grand Elder directly entered the Tenth Elder’s courtyard.

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes; things were getting more interesting.

With the compass in hand, he stealthily infiltrated the courtyard and eavesdropped from the window on their conversation.

“The ancient tribe is arriving in five days. Before they come, it would be best to kill the mortal,” said the Grand Elder to the Tenth Elder.

“But, the mortal is always with Princess Yan in Dragon Valley, I have no opportunity to act,” replied the Tenth Elder hurriedly.

“Humph, you’re useless. I gave you opportunities to act, but you’ve been unproductive!”

The Grand Elder scolded angrily, “He’s just a mortal! Killing him should be easy. You’ve been so useless that you can’t even handle this simple matter!”

The scolded Tenth Elder hung his head, at a loss for words.

He wondered why none of his previous attempts had worked.

Poison didn’t work, and attempts to kill him through hired assassins also failed.

Even the previous attempt by someone from the ancient tribe was thwarted and the person had escaped.

He was just a mortal!

“Enough, I won’t waste time speaking with you. There are only five days left.

Hurry up.”

“If the ancient tribe arrives and finds that matters have not been settled, neither of us will have a good end,” the Grand Elder warned coldly. “Grand Elder, is the thing the ancient tribe promised us real?” inquired the Tenth Elder tentatively.

“Of course, there are people behind the ancient tribe that we in Dragon Valley can’t afford to offend!”

The Grand Elder grumbled, “What a bunch of fools not knowing the severity of the situation, allowing Ao Yan to act recklessly, and then keeping a mortal in Dragon Valley. What, are they planning to reuse him?”

“This won’t do, I must have a serious talk with them in these few days. If we don’t reach an agreement, Dragon Valley will be finished and we won’t get any benefits,” said the Grand Elder, before leaving after giving the Tenth Elder a few more instructions.

Jiang Xiaobai memorized the Grand Elder’s aura and left quietly.

Not long after, he appeared in a corner of Dragon Valley, his face sullen.

“Who would have thought that there are collaborators with the ancient tribe within Dragon Valley?”

“The ancient tribe clearly doesn’t regard Dragon Valley, but instead of uniting, the valley is falling apart.”

“Indeed, no matter who it is, no matter how strong they are, and no matter where they are, there are always such spineless individuals.”

Jiang Xiaobai snorted internally.

Now that he knew who the mastermind was, it was impossible for him not to be angry.

However, the Tenth Elder was a Dividing the Gods realm cultivator, not to

mention the Grand Elder.

Jiang Xiaobai absolutely had no way to face them.

“The methods by which to deal with this are created by humans; I refuse to believe that I can’t handle the two of you?”

He snorted internally, then started to mull over another critical piece of information.

The ancient tribe would be here in five days!

He was sure they must be in contact with the ancient tribe, so this piece of news was undoubtedly true.

There were only five days left…

Jiang Xiaobai knew that if things continued this way, he would undoubtedly end up dead.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes and conspiracies were worthless.

“Huh, can’t I just delay their arrival?”

All of a sudden, Jiang Xiaobai clapped his hands together at the idea.

Once this idea came up, after a little thought, Jiang Xiaobai felt it was feasible.

The problem was how to delay their arrival without giving himself away.

He had no choice but to go back and ponder it.

Ao Yan wasn’t in the courtyard when a solemn-looking Jiang Xiaobai returned, he didn’t think much of it.

He had to figure out a way to delay the ancient tribe’s arrival promptly.

“Delay, delay… How do I delay? Even if I’m a Yuan Infant cultivator, their powerful men can crush me like a bug. I lack the means to fight back.” Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head, lacking any ideas.

It was only now that he realized how his situation was limiting him.

Certainly, he couldn’t resort to poisoning their elixirs, could he?

“Huh?”

“Elixirs!”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly sparked interest. After taking into account the situation, he felt hopeful.

“Hehe, this time, I bet you won’t be able to arrive for at least ten days to half a month.”

With a mutter, Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly left the courtyard.

Ao Yan returned to the courtyard soon after Jiang Xiaobai left.

Her expression was somewhat unnatural, her fists clenched tightly during her journey back. Those familiar with Ao Yan could deduce she was on the verge of an outburst.

Upon arrival, she noticed Jiang Xiaobai was not in the courtyard, aggravated by his absence.

“He’s always out gallivanting around, does he think he really is one of the

Dragon Valley folk now?”

Ao Yan huffed coldly, learning from the maids that Jiang Xiaobai had just left recently.

After a moment of thought, she settled down at a table in the courtyard and started drinking tea.

The maids around her were considerably stressed.

Why did the Princess start drinking tea again? Could the Prince Consort be less irritating to her?

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was completely oblivious about what was happening in the courtyard. Instead, he had transformed into a mosquito and infiltrated a small courtyard, gathering all the necessary information for his plan..
