Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1328 - Chapter 1328 Chapter 1328 The Suffocating Sense of Despair

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: The Suffocating Sense of Despair Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: The Suffocating Sense of Despair Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t been driven mad by many things, but the root network of the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo had indeed driven him insane.

So terrifying!

It seemed like a main root, but in reality, it was just a branch extending from the main root, except the network of this branch was also overwhelmingly vast!

Jiang Xiaobai had spent a whole day searching, and apart from following the roots and finding some nearly depleted veins, he found nothing!

Not to mention finding the actual growing site of the real Vermillion Fairy Bamboo, he couldn’t even see a trace of it!

He would have been content to see just half a bamboo!

Consequently, Jiang Xiaobai frantically followed the thick roots as if he were crazed. It wasn’t a big deal if the direction was wrong; just find another one and continue.

Coming up empty-handed wasn’t an issue; this was just a branch!

Among the most difficult and painful tasks was pinpointing the true direction of the main body of the roots!

Because they spread out so far and the distance was too long, it was impossible to determine this without a bird’s-eye view from above; relying on just a segment of the root was not enough.

As he searched, Jiang Xiaobai finally felt like he might be going in the right direction.

The roots were getting thicker!

There couldn’t be any mistake if he followed this direction!

But as he went on, Jiang Xiaobai felt an increasing sense of familiarity, and when he finally discovered the source of the massive root network, he was dumbfounded.

Damn it, wasn’t this the Sky Swallow gathering area he’d stumbled upon during the day?

Emerging from underground, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the cliff in front of him, his head buzzing.

Had he been a burrowing mole all day for nothing?

Was it all a waste of time?

Meanwhile, the battle on the cliffs had grown even more intense.

Both sides had seen red!

Not being able to attack each other in full view, they took out their rage on the savage Sky Swallows, grabbing them with a death grip!

On the Li Family’s side, Li Zhilin led his people in utilizing their family’s millennia of experience to its fullest, capturing Sky Swallows, especially the smaller ones. Even when not very strong, they caught them with unerring accuracy.

The Zhao Family, lacking such expertise, had to rely on brute strength!

A few of them would rush forward, pin the Sky Swallows to the ground with a beating until they could no longer struggle, and then tie them up.

The Zhao Family knew well that they could not compete with Li Zhilin and the others in terms of speed, so Xiao Si set his sights on a Da Luo Golden Immortal Sky Sparrow. Employing the touch of divine power he had reached, he found it relatively easy to fight, but it still took a lot of time.

But in terms of value, the weak Sky Swallows were nowhere near as precious as the Daluo Golden Immortals; the Wu Gouchi crafted from them was worth a fortune!

Both sides fought desperately, but the unfortunate ones were the Sky Swallows in the middle of hatching!

That was absolutely exasperating!

Due to their nature, they would not move during hatching; they would either endure attacks and drive off the enemy or be captured alive.

The male Sky Swallows, not needing to hatch, were furious and relentlessly attacked.

The battle was spectacular, and there were casualties on the human cultivators’ side as well.

But both families, almost staking everything on the wager, did not care about these things.

Watching people’s heads being turned into a mess, Jiang Xiaobai felt his mouth twitch involuntarily.

He didn’t want to bother with these things, after all, his goal was the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo.

However, what puzzled Jiang Xiaobai was that although the roots here were indeed at their source, he couldn’t see a trace of the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo!

After circling around the entire cliff and mountain body, he found nothing.

Helpless, he could only release everyone. As soon as Ao Yan and the others came out, they noticed the situation here and looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he was an idiot.

“Don’t look at me, the ghost knows why the roots of the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo are here!”

Jiang Xiaobai said sheepishly, then turned to Gu Ning, “Master, the source of the roots is right here, but I can’t find the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo. I tried following the roots upwards, but coming out just leads to the mountain body, with nothing there!”

Gu Ning said with a faint smile, “The Vermillion Fairy Bamboo is indeed a precious material and treasure of heaven and earth, and it also possesses a certain spirituality. It cannot disguise itself, but it cannot survive for long.”

“I estimate that it is inside the mountain. Before the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo is found, it cannot be detected solely through perception.”

Inside the mountain?

Jiang Xiaobai’s head buzzed; he had never considered this possibility.

Who would have thought bamboo could grow inside a mountain?

Is this a suitable place for it to grow?

“The Vermillion Fairy Bamboo is quite unique; nothing is impossible.”

“However…”

Gu Ning said, then lifted her gaze to the battle above the cliffs, a flash of incomprehensibility crossing the depths of her eyes.

She saw causality here!

It was Jiang Xiaobai’s causality!

It was impossible not to be surprised, so had the chess player calculated everything even before this event?

Just like a chess game’s layout, the moves of the white pieces may seem irrelevant, but until the very end when you capture the black pieces, who can say these moves were useless?

Layout, layout… What’s needed was time and means beyond imagination!

Subconsciously, Gu Ning looked towards Jiang Xiaobai.

So, everything she was doing now, even the experiences Jiang Xiaobai was going through, were all clearly foreseen by someone!

In this vast world, could one truly not escape the hands of destiny and causality?

At this moment, even Gu Ning, this existence, felt a suffocating sense of despair!

There was no escape, no escape at all!

What she thought she could struggle against or even flee from seemed so laughable now!

The White Crane and Emperor could not see through causality, but she could!

Clearly, there was a thread of causality connected to Jiang Xiaobai in the space above this cliff!

“What’s wrong, Master?”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Gu Ning curiously, feeling that her aura had suddenly become unstable.

What situation could cause Gu Ning to be so disturbed?

“It’s… it’s nothing.”

“Xiaobai, let’s find the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo first.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, that was of course their intention. Didn’t they all toil in the Gobi Desert for so long just to search for the Vermillion Fairy Bamboo?

But inside the mountain…

After thinking it over, Jiang Xiaobai used a technique to burrow in. This technique allowed him to travel through the five elements of nature, and when he was weaker, it was considered an invincible method, but now he seldom used it.

In the face of sufficient strength, there was no need for these fancy tricks.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s figure disappear, Gu Ning’s expression became solemn, and she gestured a look towards the White Crane.

The three of them slowly moved to a secluded spot. Ao Yan and the others, upon seeing this, did not say much, only looking at the expression on Gu Ning’s face, sensing that something unfavorable might be happening.

“What’s going on?” the White Crane raised an eyebrow. “It’s rare to see you with such an expression. Has something serious happened?”

Both he and Emperor radiated a faint, natural dignity, unique to an Immortal Emperor!

They had thought enemies might be arriving, but when Gu Ning briefly explained the situation, both of their jaws nearly hit the floor.

“So you’re saying the yellow-robed elder knew about it all along?”

“Guidance… this is the act of guidance. Indeed, those who can be chess players, obtaining a sliver of hope amidst heaven and earth, are not simple!”

Gu Ning said solemnly, “Something might happen next, and it’s best for us not to intervene.”
