A greenish-yellow toad appeared before him, extending a webbed paw to stop Chen Xun, and said gravely, "Dao Ancestor, wait!"
"Bold! What bloated toad dares block Xun Bro's path?! Roar~~~"
Little Scarlet furrowed his brows and roared as he stepped forward, landing with a boom one body-length behind Chen Xun. "Take a good look at yourself... Hm? Immortal Great General Chi!"
His words abruptly caught, and his momentum weakened. His eyes widened slightly. He knew this toad—back during the Celestial River War, it had commanded cultivator armies in battle everywhere.
Even the Baili Clan and the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan held this frog in considerable respect. It had forcibly forged billions of disorganized cultivators into an army, one that even knew battle formations, and had left the Boundless Myriad Races and Immortal Alliance coalition forces with their scalps tingling.
Of course, that was also because the Immortals had been completely tied down by Chen Xun, who had driven straight into their rear lines to target the strong, throwing their formations into utter chaos.
"Croak~~ Indeed. It is this Great General."
Frog Daoist spoke with immense swagger, even nodding at Little Scarlet as he raised his head. "Step back first. I need to discuss a matter of identity with the Dao Ancestor."
"Mm..." Little Scarlet chuckled, showing Frog Daoist great respect. It was practically a model spirit beast.
Chen Xun narrowed his eyes and spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Immortal Great General Chi, speak."
Frog Daoist coughed twice, looking somewhat dazed as it gazed at Chen Xun.
It still held out its webbed paw, making Gu Lisheng snort from not far away. "Fatso, isn't that the joke frog from back then? It actually didn't get beaten to death."
"Hey, Braggart Gu, watch your mouth!" Song Heng
