Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 506 - 307: Then let me ask you, why is your tail so short?

Chapter 506: Chapter 307: Then let me ask you, why is your tail so short?

Zhang Ze listened to what his master said, checked the time, and found that the change in his form of address happened just when he was reading the diary.

He recalled the contents of the diary and muttered the name of this Baiyu County, forming some guesses.

He said to his master.

"Do you think the secret hidden in the Jade Book Illusion Realm by the last emperor of Dongqi might be related to that first Emperor?

"Do you think this Baiyu County could be the future Imperial Capital Baiyujing of Dongqi?

"And that I am the True Emperor."

The more Zhang Ze spoke, the less coherent he became.

So before he could finish, Li thumped him on the head.

Li said, "The royal family of Dongqi has the surname Xiao, not Zhang. What are you thinking?"

"This is all trivial; I can change my surname. Arrogance connects Xiao and Zhang, Xiao Zhang are one family, it’s no big deal."

Zhang Ze began to ramble nonsensically.

His thoughts were like a wild horse, out of control.

"Maybe in my past life, I was the Great Emperor of Dongqi, defeated by the river of time. Now I have returned to reclaim the secret treasure I left behind. Once I ignite the six flames after leaving, I will be able to rekindle the glory of our Human Race. Give me fifty Spirit Stones, and I will make you a..."

"Bam."

Zhang Ze was thumped on the head again by Li.

"Calm down, kid. The founding place of the Dongqi Emperor is not in this Baiyu County. Moreover, if you want to be an emperor, changing your surname is not enough, you also need to change your name."

"The founder’s name was Xiao..."

As they spoke, Zhang Ze blinked, and Li immediately fell silent.

Soon, beside the deserted street, under a tree, a white fuzzy ball appeared, like a dandelion.

But soon enough, the dandelion-like fluffy balls appeared one after another.

After three emerged, the Fox Demon Bai, of the Demon Race, emerged butt first from the ground using the Earth Escape Technique, with three small fluffy tails sticking out.

With a dashing flip, he stood in front of Zhang Ze and Li, shook his robe to hide his little tails, and cupped his hands to Zhang Ze.

"Master, we’ve caught someone again. This time it’s a big fish."

Zhang Ze’s heart skipped a beat. Now, just hearing the words ’caught someone’ made him uneasy.

He feared that some senior of his, wise and powerful, found a way in.

And then, as soon as they came in, they were caught by his subordinates.

Because he had integrated some memories of the Golden Core master’s from the Illusion Realm with the help of the diary, he also had a basic impression of the Fox Race cultivator associated with ’himself’.

He was quite reliable when he spoke; if he said he caught someone, then he really caught someone.

This Fox Demon was called Bai Xiaosheng, saved casually when ’he’ went to Southern Chen to scavenge four years ago.

This guy, due to his tail being different from others of his kind and having a personality too human-like, wasn’t well-received in his clan.

So he was framed by his kind and his tail was beaten until only one remained, nearly dying in the mountains.

When the Golden Core master saved this guy, because Bai Xiaosheng was beaten back to his original form, he thought he had picked up a little fox with a peculiar tail.

The Golden Core master intended to take him back as a pet.

Though there weren’t detailed records in the diary, Zhang Ze could envision the Golden Core master’s collapse when he discovered his pet fox, which he cuddled daily, was male and could turn into a human.

And Bai Xiaosheng, after his tail grew back, stayed by the Golden Core master’s side, becoming somewhat of a fox-headed military advisor.

It’s considered a fox repaying kindness...

Perhaps.

But come to think of it, why does Bai Xiaosheng’s rabbit tail look so familiar...

Wait a minute, could Bai Xiaosheng be Bai Tao’s ancestor...

The more Zhang Ze thought about it, the more it made sense, and when he associated Bai Tao’s oddly large seniority, he gasped.

While Zhang Ze was lost in thought, Li also remained silent, partly because he was just being interrogated and his identity wasn’t clear yet, and also because he didn’t know Bai Xiaosheng.

Secondly, he suspected that the people caught might be someone he knew, also from outside.

Out of a mindset of ’if I’m going down, I’m taking you with me’, Li decided to stay silent.

The torture device shouldn’t just be for me.

Bai Xiaosheng still maintained his saluting posture, seeing his master’s strange expression and the elder’s silence. Helplessly, he cleared his throat.

"Master?"

"Hmm, I’m listening, you continue." Zhang Ze snapped back to focus, gesturing for Bai Xiaosheng to continue.

"Those people claim to be from the Xiao family of Southern Chen. They got into a conflict with our people outside the city and have been captured by Fatty. They are all being held outside the city now."

Zhang Ze, "Xiao... huh? Those people are named Xiao?"

...

Outside the city, it was bustling. Chong Sanchun was leading his Chong Sect cultivators, surrounding a group of people in the center.

Chong Sanchun, the ’Fatty’ Bai Xiaosheng referred to, was the confidant of the Golden Core master and also the Sect Leader of Chong Sect.

His cultivation was similar to Bai Xiaosheng’s, reaching the edge of the Golden Core Realm.

As for how he met the Golden Core master, it wasn’t as legendary or ridiculous as Bai Xiaosheng’s story, but rather quite simple.

Their personalities matched, that’s all.

Chong Sanchun admired the Golden Core master, willing to be his friend and also follow him as the leader.

As the Golden Core master’s number one henchman, Chong Sanchun looked at the captives with unfriendly eyes.

If it weren’t for the elder’s precedent and Bai Xiaosheng’s advice, he would have already made a move to behead one or two to establish authority.

"Why isn’t Big Brother here yet?" Chong Sanchun muttered.
