Chapter 664: Chapter 664

"Nonsense!" Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes.

"Brother Zhang, what’s wrong?" the White-clothed Young Master asked, puzzled.

"I’m talking about this hindsight—is it possible to come any slower? Couldn’t you have notified me beforehand?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

"Haha... We cultivators are supposed to defy the heavens and seize our fate from the skies! Brother Zhang, forgive my bluntness, but if I can help you once, what about the second or third time if such situations arise again? What would you do then? Just sit and wait for death?" the White-clothed Young Master said earnestly.

"Bah! Don’t lecture me on morality; your cultivation is too shallow! Do I not know you? The minute you pucker up, I know exactly what kind of fart you’re going to let fly! Is it because all your attention was taken up by that Japanese woman named Shuixian, leaving no time even to make a phone call to me?" Zhang Xiaohao teased.

"Haha... Indeed, Brother Zhang knows me well," the White-clothed Young Master admitted generously.

"Brother Zhang, you haven’t massacred the group of Hua Saintess, have you?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

"Yeah! What’s wrong with that?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, feigning surprise.

"What? The Hua Saintess is among the top ten Saint Heirs of the White Tiger Sect, ranked third in combat power! It’s said her cultivation has already reached the Peak of Void Transformation Realm, possessing numerous powerful talismans! Her combat power could even place her in the top 500!" the White-clothed Young Master exclaimed.

"Is she that strong? I didn’t feel it at all. I just pinched her with one finger, and then she died! Is this the so-called top 500 powerhouse you speak of? Seems pretty weak to me!" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged.

"Brother Zhang, stop making fun of me—I’m completely awed by you now! I don’t need any walls to lean on, just you!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Stop it! What’s this about a Saint Heirs ranking anyway?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"The Saint Heirs ranking is specifically for the saint heirs from the various great holy places. The list has five hundred names, all of either noble identity or formidable strength. Those who make the list are at least at the Peak of the Void Transformation Realm, with many abilities and the power to kill beyond their level!"

"Just like the Hua Saintess you killed this time. She may be the lowest ranked on the list, yet her combat power is astonishing, unbeatable among her peers! Even if she encounters a Great Power from the Cycle Palace Realm, she would have a fighting chance!" the White-clothed Young Master said solemnly.

"So you’re saying that by killing the Hua Saintess, my combat power has also reached the standards of the Saint Heirs ranking?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Yes, at least theoretically! If you’re willing, Brother Zhang, with your achievements, you would definitely make the list!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Being famous is trouble, better to keep a low profile," Zhang Xiaohao mused.

"Brother Zhang, please hear me out!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Speak!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Brother Zhang, you might not be aware! Unlike other rankings, this list is incredibly potential and powerful, representing status and identity! Just making the list, even at the lowest rank, brings unimaginable benefits!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"I doubt it! With benefits come troubles from others who covet them," Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"Yes! You’re right, Brother Zhang! But as cultivators, since we defy the heavens and seize our fate, shouldn’t we throw caution to the wind and take the risk!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Tell me, what benefits does being on this list bring?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Ten low-grade Spirit Stones every month! A share of various cultivation resources! And many other hidden benefits," the White-clothed Young Master explained.

"Huh? Isn’t this list made by you? Then who provides these resources?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Brother Zhang, the Saint Heirs ranking is not created by Bai Xiaosheng! It’s jointly established by the various great sanctuaries of Jianghu among others! Even these cultivation resources are distributed by these sects! And I, Bai Xiaosheng, only have the role of assessing who qualifies for the list and who does not, while also transferring various cultivation resources!" the White-clothed Young Master explained.

"I see!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Brother Zhang, are you still going to refuse to join the ranking?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

"Can I use a pseudonym?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered for a moment before asking.

"Haha... And here I thought you were worried about something serious! Rest assured, Brother Zhang, it’s entirely up to you. If you feel like it, you could use a commoner name like Zhang San or Li Si! As for other information, you can choose to keep it confidential or divulge as you please," the White-clothed Young Master laughed.

"I see! I was overthinking it," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Since that’s the case, let’s go with the alias ’Demon God’! As for other information, hmm, put down Xuan Master!"

"Alright! Other than that, Brother Zhang, is there anything else you’d like to mention?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

"That’s enough! By the way, when will my rewards arrive?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"In a few days, I’ll deliver them personally!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"There’s one more thing, I almost forgot!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"What is it, Brother Zhang? Tell me!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"This time I contacted you because I have a deal I want to collaborate on with you!" Zhang Xiaohao stated directly.

"Brother Zhang, you’re not suggesting we go and wipe out the White Tiger Sect together, are you?" the White-clothed Young Master exclaimed.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Brother Zhang, even if the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader of the White Tiger Sect, along with a bunch of their people, suddenly died... the remaining forces are vast, and with just the two of us, it’d be very difficult!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"We cultivators are supposed to defy the heavens and seize our fate from the skies! Well, are we doing this or not? Give me a straight answer!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"..." The White-clothed Young Master felt a frustrating urge.

The words he had just said to Zhang Xiaohao were being thrown right back at him.

After pondering for a while.

"Brothers keep accounts clear, Brother Zhang, how shall we share the profits?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

It looked like he had resolved to go through with it.

"I’ll take the lead; you support and carry more Elixirs for restoring True Qi! Afterwards, we’ll split it fifty-fifty!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Deal! I’ll see you in Nanhua City in three days!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

He hung up the phone, his eyes flashing coldly.
