"What evil spirits dare to cause trouble in my county?!"

A bald, burly man leaped across the rooftops, rapidly approaching the enormous weasel.

The bald, burly man wore iron rings on both hands, and his skin was visibly red from drinking, making him look like an imposing and wrathful Vajra.

"Incense Master Wang!"

Upon noticing the newcomer, Incense Master Li's eyes lit up.

He knew this Incense Master Wang, knew he was quite capable, and was always the first to step in when it came to handling matters.

This person has always been very brave, so it's likely that even when facing such a powerful evil spirit, they would not be afraid.

He is the best teammate in this situation.

Incense Master Li quickly shouted, "Incense Master Wang, let's go side by side, we can definitely hold out until..."

Pfft~

Before Incense Master Li could finish speaking, the huge weasel, as if swatting a fly, tore Incense Master Wang in half at the waist with a single claw.

In an instant, blood splattered.

Incense Master Wang was reduced to two pieces of minced meat, which crashed to the ground one after the other.

The receding crowd, witnessing this scene, erupted in uncontrollable hysterical screams.

The streets paved with bluestone slabs were in complete chaos, filled with panicked people.

Incense Master Li felt her head buzzing. "..." Wait, are you sick in the head?

Looking at Incense Master Wang's gruesome death, the courage he had finally mustered vanished instantly.

What's the point of even trying?

Is Master Lord Bai the Fourteenth asleep? Why hasn't he shown up yet?!

At the same time.

The people and incense burners in the city were calling for Lord Bai the Fourteenth, but at that moment a charming young girl blocked their way.

The young girl wore a snow-white, high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with flowing water sleeves, looking like a fairy descending to earth.

However, facing such a fairy in white, Lord Bai the Fourteenth and Xiao Xueyin in the house dared not let their guard down in the slightest.

The fairy in white covered her mouth and chuckled, "Fourteenth Brother, I've been looking for you everywhere! Instead of staying at your own dojo, you've come to a place like this."

"Miss Hu Jiu, what brings you to my territory so late at night?" The fat on Lord Bai the Fourteenth's face jiggled.

"You know perfectly well why you're asking. Didn't that kid tell you?"

Miss Hu Jiu pointed at Xiao Xueyin: "Anyway, Fourteenth Brother should stay here tonight to avoid hurting feelings."

What if I insist on leaving?

As Lord Bai the Fourteenth spoke, he took two steps forward.

Miss Hu Jiu still wore a charming smile, playfully tugging at Lord Bai the Fourteenth with her water sleeves, saying, "Fourteenth Brother, don't make things difficult for me. I can't bear to get rid of you."

Xiao Xueyin silently took a half step back, feeling that these deathmatch fighters seemed to have misunderstood something.

In this current Deathmatch Arena, it seems that the lawful immortals are actually in the minority.

After taking two steps, Lord Bai the Fourteenth, seeing that Miss Hu Jiu remained unmoved, stopped in his tracks with a grim expression.

In fact, once one's cultivation reaches the level of Altar Immortal, the titles of immortals become clear.

Similar to "Miss So-and-so," "Master So-and-so," "Aunt So-and-so," and "Fairy So-and-so."

However, adding numbers to the title would make it more special.

This represents the seniority of these immortals, second only to the top four immortals, all of whom are considered second-generation immortals.

Although the ranking number doesn't necessarily indicate the level of one's cultivation, even if it came to a real fight, Lord Bai the Fourteenth wasn't confident he could defeat the Fox Immortal before him.

The situation became deadlocked.

This kind of standoff is clearly something that Miss Hu Jiu is happy to see.

As time went on, Lord Bai the Fourteenth's expression grew increasingly grim.

Even from inside a residential building, it can see the fires burning all over the county.

County government office.

Considering the existence of immortals in this world, the county government office naturally wouldn't hold a very high position in the eyes of ordinary people.

Not to mention arranging for officials to stay on duty at night, even during the day, the positions are often empty.

Under these circumstances, it would be effortless for the fighters to set fire to the place.

Fan Ding climbed over the wall, dusted off his hands, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, what do we do next?"

The tall fighter standing next to him looked up at the sky and frowned.

"Where's the promised signal? Something must have happened to Xiao Xueyin."

"What should we do then?"

Brother Wang pondered for two seconds before making a decision.

"Let's go directly to Xiao Xueyin and take a look."

The wind fueled the fire, and thick smoke billowed upwards.

The sounds of people wailing and evil spirits howling created an atmosphere of chaos and debauchery throughout the county.

On the north side of the county town, people were crowding at the city gate, pushing and shoving each other, which reduced the gate's passage efficiency to an extremely low level.

Incense Master Li mingled in the crowd, looking somewhat dazed.

He didn't have the courage to turn back and deal with the giant weasel, but he was also somewhat unwilling to just flee in panic with the crowd.

Suddenly, Incense Master Li noticed a disturbance at the city gate.

He looked closely and realized that there was a group of three people squeezing into the city against the flow of people.

The leader was a young man who, from a distance, possessed an otherworldly and refined air.

Incense Master Li quite certain that he had never seen him in the city before. He felt that once he had seen such a handsome young man, he would never forget him.

However, although he didn't recognize the leader, he was quite familiar with the two people following behind him.

She quickly waved and called out, "Granny Yun! Incense Master Shi!"

Unfortunately, there were simply too many people wailing and crying, creating a chaotic scene at the city gate.

Despite Incense Master Li's shouts until his throat was dry, he couldn't attract the attention of the three people in the group.

Incense Master Li helplessly stopped shouting and watched as the group headed towards the location of the giant weasel.

"No, I have to get there right away and tell them what's happening in the city."

"That's not an evil spirit that incense sticks can deal with."

"We must stop them."

After a moment's thought, Incense Master Li began to forcefully push through the crowd, trying to join Lu Bai and the others.

No matter what, a few people working together can definitely do more than he can do alone.

We can't let them perish at the hands of weasels in vain.

The intention was good, but unfortunately it wasn't easy to implement.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer number of people crammed in front of him made it difficult for Incense Master Li to move.

By the time he squeezed out of the crowd, Lu Bai and his group had already disappeared from his sight.

That group went to deal with the giant weasel.

Realizing this, Incense Master Li's mood gradually sank to the bottom.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and chased after him.

He didn't believe that incense sticks could deal with evil spirits of that level, but he felt there might still be a glimmer of hope—what if they could preserve a spark of fire?

But,

As he passed through a cluster of houses that obstructed his view, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

In the darkness of night, a figure in black and white, like lightning, instantly sent the giant weasel flying.

It unleashed unimaginable terrifying power, causing the weasel to smash down five or six houses before finally stopping.
