The Death Fighters Held at Others' Mercy
Lu Bai acted too quickly; the old woman couldn't even stop him in time.
Watching the Fox Immortal spirit vanish into thin air, she remained silent for a moment before cautiously asking, "What do we do now?"
Lu Bai took a stick of incense from Incense Master Shi's bundle, turned around and handed it to the old woman. "Wave Lord Bai the Fourteenth over here."
He had just asked the Fox Immortal, but it seemed the fox spirit was unaware of Grandpa Tao's existence.
If we're going to find the Incense Officer, we should contact Lord Bai the Fourteenth in charge.
The old woman took the incense and lit it.
The cold wind stopped blowing, and the bone-chilling cold was gradually fading away, no longer affecting the burning of incense.
There were still some noises coming from the dark wilderness; if I'm not mistaken, they were probably the Guardian Immortal of Liu Family Village.
The Fox Immortal had previously forced these Guardian Immortal to take action against the villagers. Even if these Guardian Immortal had other ideas, they were already forced to join the camp that overthrew the order of the Incense Sect.
However, the Guardian Immortal's cultivation level is indeed not high.
They can manage to stir up trouble from the sidelines, but expecting them to step forward and confront Lu Bai and his two associates is unrealistic.
Is this a good idea?
Incense Master Shi noticed that the old woman had begun the ritual to Commune with Spirits, and said somewhat hesitantly.
"You don't trust Lord Bai the Fourteenth?" Lu Bai looked at him with a hint of amusement.
Clearly, what the Fox Immortal said still left Incense Master Shi with some resentment.
No matter what, Lord Bai the Fourteenth was indeed a celestial being, not a human.
Incense Master Shi quickly waved his hand. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I feel there's no need to be in such a hurry."
The old woman silently slowed down her movements as she summoned Lord Bai the Fourteenth, preparing to stop at any moment.
Lu Bai noticed the old woman's reaction. "Does everyone think we should slow down?"
Incense Master Shi wanted to say yes, but then felt it was a bit presumptuous.
"You need to look at this from a different angle. The series of actions by the evil forces in the Anti- Incense Sect proves that they believe Lord Bai the Fourteenth will oppose it. In that case, we should call Lord Bai the Fourteenth over to exchange opinions."
Lu Bai shrugged and said, "Moreover, you seem to be a bit too optimistic. What we should be more worried about now is whether Lord Bai the Fourteenth can actually be summoned."
The old woman pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense. She muttered to herself and quickened her pace in summoning Lord Bai the Fourteenth.
What happened next was exactly as Lu Bai had predicted.
She received no response from Lord Bai the Fourteenth until the incense in her hand burned out.
The old woman's hand trembled, and a clump of incense ash fell out.
She couldn't help but panic. "Something's happened in the county town."
"What's the meaning?"
Incense Master Shi stood up nervously. "Then we have to go back quickly."
"You can't leave yet."
A sharp sound suddenly rang out.
Lu Bai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small old man, about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a yellow jacket.
The old man stood at the entrance of the village. His mandarin jacket seemed ill-fitting, with a long section dragging on the ground.
A strange little old man appeared in the middle of the night; no matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem to have any good intentions.
The old woman stood up. "Who are you?!"
"Is this never going to end?"
With Lu Bai present, Incense Master Shi felt a bit bolder.
On the contrary, Lu Bai appeared very casual, with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Gentlemen, please calm down. This old man is very polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man at the village entrance bowed.
In an instant, accompanied by chilling laughter, a bone-chilling wind swept up again outside the village, layer upon layer.
Perhaps it was the sudden appearance of this powerful deity that caused the Guardian Immortal, who had been lurking furtively in the dark corners of the village, to become restless once again.
Lu Bai took a step forward.
"It seems your faction has quite a few immortals."
"Those who act justly will find many supporters."
The old man smiled demurely, "However, the fact that Hu Jiao actually fell into the hands of you three Incense Officer really piques my curiosity."
"Then let me explain it to you as well."
Lu Bai rushed towards the village entrance with a big smile.
As he ran, his arms once again emitted a hazy black and white glow.
After estimating the distance to be about right, he quietly activated [Flash Time].
Everything before my eyes froze.
The thick black smoke from his left arm acted like a spring supporting the ground, then propelled him out like a rocket with terrifying power.
Just as he was about to land in front of the old man, Lu Bai clenched his right fist, and the surrounding white light covered his entire right arm, condensing into a nearly one-meter-long milky-white cone-shaped spike.
This time, he showed no mercy.
The enormous white spike, carrying an unstoppable and ferocious aura, crashed down.
Half a second passed, and time began to flow again.
Bang!
A violent, teeth-grinding roar echoed at the edge of the village.
The Mana immortals is still the most effective force for dealing with evil spirits.
The old man in the yellow jacket hadn't expected Lu Bai to be able to mobilize such immense Mana, nor had he expected his attack to be so sudden.
There was no chance of resistance; he was killed instantly.
Even though it wasn't the first time Shi Incense Master Shi had seen Lu Bai make a move, this exaggerated performance was still so unbelievable that it seemed unreal.
The old woman took several deep breaths and reminded her, "Lu Xiangtou, this is not a place to stay for long."
Not long after they defeated the Fox Immortal, a little old man appeared.
If we wait any longer, who knows what other evil spirits might appear?
Lu Bai dispersed the Mana from his arms, turned to the two incense masters, and said, "Well, let's go back to the city first."
Inside a courtyard house in the county town.
A dozen or so young people gathered together, all with solemn expressions.
"The rest of the arson team can now proceed to their designated positions."
"Sixth Brother, as soon as we leave, start setting the fire."
"Brother Wang, when you get to the county government office, if you see any fire, go straight in and cause a huge disturbance, the bigger the better."
"As for Fan Ding, well, you'll have to come with me and Brother Yuan to open the city gate."
Upon hearing the arrangement, Fan Ding appeared quite hesitant.
He gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and questioned, "Xiao Xueyin, it's not that I don't trust you, but isn't it time to take a gamble yet?"
Xiao Xueyin seemed surprised that Fan Ding, who was always timid and submissive, would dare to raise an objection at this meeting.
"Brother Fan Ding, do you think we have a choice now?"
Noticing the sudden shift in the atmosphere in the courtyard, Xiao Xueyin felt it was necessary to encourage everyone.
He said earnestly, "I don't know who leaked the existence of the Death Fighters, which has led to so many of our brothers being controlled by the natives."
But that doesn't mean we have to obediently follow the orders of those natives. After all, once that immortal is defeated, we will regain our freedom.
"We certainly can't defeat that immortal being with our own strength. However, based on what I've gathered through subtle inquiries over the past few days, these natives are clearly preparing to overthrow the existing order."
At this point, Xiao Xueyin revealed a confident smile, "Since it's a revolution, how can there be no bloodshed?"
