Under Xiao Tian's Wood Release: Descent of the Deep Forest Emergence technique, Li Quzhuo was immediately rendered powerless, and his Wind Fire Wheels, Fire-Tipped Spear, and Heaven-Confounding Sash magic treasures were all sealed.
"What powerful magic!" Wangquan Baye thought solemnly.
"Ah! Quick, let go, my waist!" Li Quzhuo cried out in alarm.
Under Xiao Tianxin control, the vines and tree branches loosened, and Li Quzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, riding his Wind Fire Wheels to rush out.
"No wonder Baye calls you 'boss,' you're amazing!" Li Quzhuo looked at Xiao Tian, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and acknowledged Xiao Tian's strength.
"The second young master actually lost! Unbelievable!"
The entire vast training ground was obscured by giant trees and vines, leaving the servants and guards of the Peach Garden Li Family in awe and astonishment.
"Who's causing trouble in the martial arts arena!" A noble-looking young man flew over, riding a purple-gold gourd.
"Brother, you're back just in time. Let me introduce you to someone. Also, Baye is here."
For a moment, four people sat in a circle on the tree canopy.
"Big brother, this is Xiao Tian, the leader of the Mask Group from the Divine Fire Manor. These trees were all created by Boss Xiao's magic. He's incredibly powerful! A super awesome control-type spell." Li Quzhuo pointed at Xiao Tian and introduced him to his older brother.
" Boss Xiao, my elder brother Li Zizai, nicknamed the Formless Saber Lord Master. My brother's swordsmanship is unpredictable and can take a person's head from a thousand miles away."
Xiao Tian sized up Li Zizai, the eldest son of the Peach Garden Li Family. This kid's character was practically a replica of Daoist Lord Lu Ya's magic weapon, the Immortal -Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, from the Investiture of the Gods.
" Xiao Tian from the Divine Fire Manor, I've heard of him. What's the Mask Group all about? You joined Baye too?" Li Zizai looked at his lifelong rival, Wangquan Baye.
Wangquan Baye, still wearing the Ultraman Tiga mask, nodded slightly and said, "Join the Mask Group, and I might consider going easy on you in a sparring match."
This incredibly blunt invitation left Xiao Tian speechless.
"Alright! I'll join the Mask Group, but I don't want you to hold back when we spar! Besides, there aren't only four of us in the Mask Group, are there?" Li Zizai said.
"Big brother, there aren't just four. There are also two young ladies from the Divine Fire Manor who possess the Demon-Slaying Divine Flame. But don't even think about it, big brother, you can't compete with Boss Xiao." Li Quzhuo muttered under his breath.
Xiao Tian's ears twitched, and he stammered, "If you like someone, just go for it. Don't worry about me. You guys have no chance anyway."
"Listen to what you're saying, as expected of Boss Xiao. By the way, Boss Xiao, how often do we in the Mask Group get to work on a big project?" Li Quzhuo asked.
"Well, let me think about it." Xiao Tian made a glass of iced Cola, a Martial Soul drink, and pondered as he drank it.
"Hey Boss Xiao, have a drink! Good things should be shared!"
After a while, the two brothers from the Li Family drank more than three hundred cups of Xiao Tian's Cola.
" Boss Xiao, let's go to the Qingmu Family. I just received a letter from Qing Muyuan asking for help. She wants to hunt down an evil Demon King as a condition for refusing the marriage alliance," Li Zizai suggested.
"Wasn't Qing Muyuan supposed to be betrothed to that boy from the Ji Family? Ji Wuji and she were childhood sweethearts, so how did they break up?" Wangquan Baye asked, puzzled.
" Baye, you don't know this, but Qing Muyuan has someone she likes now, though we don't know who it is. Ji Wuji willing to agree, but a marriage between the two families is no joke, so there are conditions," Li Quzhuo explained.
Xiao Tian was surprised. Did this part exist in the original timeline? However, the Mask Group was still two short of completion. Once he brought Qing Muyuan in, he could get one more and the Achievement Points would be his.
