Epilogue

Pfft~

A Black Scaled Great Serpent, tens of meters long, landed at the village entrance like a heavy fighter jet landing, raising a cloud of dust, and the strong wind made the leaves of the old trees rustle.

As soon as Lu Bai and Second Young Master Hu got off the snake's head, Chang Shengtian returned to human form.

Second Young Master Hu had only taken two steps forward when his pupils suddenly contracted, and he blurted out...

"The smell of blood is so strong."

Lu Bai wasn't surprised and looked around.

"Looks like we've come to the right place."

Before Lu Bai could remind him, Chang Shengtian proactively released several small Mana snakes to begin a thorough search.

However, these Mana snakes had just swum out of Chang Shengtian's hand and hadn't even had a chance to begin their search when they were interrupted by a sudden turn of events.

Squeak~

At the entrance of the village, the door of a mud-brick house was pushed open.

Xu Ling walked out of the house without changing his expression.

Upon seeing this, both Chang Shengtian and Second Young Master Hu tensed up, no longer daring to underestimate these Reincarnated Demons.

"Now that you've come looking for me, there's no need for me to keep pretending to be a native. Let's speak frankly and openly."

Xu Ling looked at Lu Bai and said, "I summoned that meteor shower before. Although I don't know how you managed to stop the meteors, there must have been a distance limit, right?"

He paused, then added, "But the meteorites I summon don't have this limitation. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Xu Ling's meaning was clear: he wanted Lu Bai to realize that he had the power to overturn the table.

He was also trying to use this point to force Lu Bai to spare his life.

Lu Bai did not answer this question, but tilted his head slightly, looked into the dark room, and asked with a light laugh, "Why doesn't that friend come out?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling remained expressionless, while Yan Tiangong, who was hiding in the house, was startled, but still managed to remain silent.

Lu Bai glanced at the two lines of small text in front of his retina and silently read down the abilities of these two individuals.

"Come out, I'm not kidding you. Your [Momo Fruit Power] is actually quite interesting."

Hearing Lu Bai pronounce the name of his ability perfectly, Yan Tiangong could no longer hide it and walked out of the house with a solemn expression.

He walked to Xu Ling's side, staring intently at the four large emerald green characters above Lu Bai's head. "How did you know?"

Xu Ling vaguely sensed that things wouldn't end well this time, and subconsciously prepared to activate [Heavenly Obstruction Star].

No matter what, he was still confident that he could achieve mutual destruction. After all, in his view, as long as the meteorite's landing point was far enough away, even if Lu Bai could make the meteorite disappear, he wouldn't have time to get there in time.

If Lu Bai truly intended to make a move, he would not hesitate to activate his ability.

"Alright, you two don't need to be so nervous."

Lu Bai raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling them to relax.

He chuckled and explained, "From the moment I saw you two, you lost your chance to struggle."

"So confident?"

Xu Ling a cold face, began to summon meteorites without making a sound.

But the next second, he suddenly froze.

"Did you notice?"

Lu Bai's smile grew even brighter, and he directly conjured Mana spikes right in front of the two of them.

"No... wait!"

Whoosh~

Two spikes shot out almost simultaneously, piercing the hearts of both men with pinpoint accuracy.

Thud!

Xu Ling and Yan Tiangong collapsed to the ground one after the other, lifeless.

After all, neither of them were Incense Officer fighters; they were death fighters who had lost their abilities and were not much different from ordinary people.

"Alright, let's move on to the next stop."

Lu Bai turned around and waved to Chang Shengtian.

Second Young Master Hu whispered a reminder, "Mr. Bai, this is the last stop."

Before it could finish speaking, it added, "But don't worry, I've already told the younger generation to investigate diligently, and we'll have the results soon."

[Current points: 650, current ranking: 1/29]

Is that so?

Lu Bai glanced at the points panel; the remaining deathmatch fighters were clearly all overly cautious.

Finding them all would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

He didn't press the matter, but instead said, "Just do your best. Now, let's talk about the Four Great Sects."

Second Young Master Hu paused, slightly puzzled. "What aspect do you want to know?"

"For example, those four great immortals, and for example, the successors of Grandmother Wang San."

Perched atop a solemn and majestic mountain stands a dignified and sacred temple. Just gazing at this temple from afar, one can almost smell the rich aroma of incense.

If Master Lord Bai the Fourteenth hall was a stream, then this temple was the ocean.

Grandmother Wang San Temple.

However, the local people prefer to call it the Bixia Yuanjun Temple.

The four memorial tablets were placed in order in the side hall.

Each memorial tablet emits a unique glimmer of light, neither human nor animal, yet it somehow gives one the feeling of being watched.

Second Young Master Hu held three incense sticks in his hand and offered them to the four memorial tablets in turn, behaving respectfully throughout the process.

Such a strict and orderly ceremony would subconsciously inspire a sense of awe even in a naive child.

Lu Bai sat cross-legged on the central futon, playing with the Four Immortal Lotuses in his hand.

A young woman in her early twenties, dressed in Incense Officer dress, stood behind him.

This girl's name is Wang Shu.

In fact, this is the oldest successor that Grandmother Wang San has been grooming.

All the other, older successors have been completely wiped out by Second Young Master Hu.

In order to maximize Wang Shu's abilities, Lu Bai also forced the three immortals, Lord Bai the Fourteenth, Chang Shengtian, and Second Young Master Hu, to offer incense to her at the same time.

By becoming the head of the incense offerings of the three great immortals and possessing the Four Immortal Lotuses left behind by Lu Bai, the successor would at least be guaranteed not to encounter too much danger after Lü Bai's departure.

"Four esteemed immortals, do you have any differing opinions? Please feel free to speak your minds."

Lu Bai's gaze lingered between the four memorial tablets. "If you don't speak, I'll assume everyone has no objections, which is fine."

I have always believed that humans and immortals are interdependent, and I am confident that in the near future, this relationship can develop into a comprehensive strategic partnership, achieving a qualitative leap in the relationship between humans and immortals, and jointly ushering in a new chapter of rapid development for both sides."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent once more.

Lu Bai frowned, his smile fading, and asked with some doubt, "Am I being too gentle, or are you all going through your rebellious phase?"

A deep voice suddenly rang out from the memorial tablet inscribed with the title of Great White Immortal: "Agreed."

Immediately afterwards, a voice also rang out from the position of the Great Growth Immortal: "I agree as well."

The position of the Great Immortal Lord swayed almost imperceptibly, revealing the phantom of an old man with a white beard. "Mr. Bai, it's not that I disagree, it's just that I don't understand why you're in such a hurry to choose a successor when you're doing such a good job?"
