My Ability Pool is Superior

The old woman returned to the group, and at this moment, her complexion had also become somewhat ugly.

Under unknown influence, unable to pull Master Bai Fourteen out to hold the scene, it was equivalent to having no backup.

Merely relying on a bit of incense borrowing power, no matter how one looked at the situation, it wasn’t optimistic.

After all, in the old woman’s eyes, there were only five people on site in total, including two apprentices, clearly not to be relied upon.

She turned her head to look at Lu Bai: “Xiao Lu, what is your view?”

“Yeah, since Fourteenth Master said from the start that this trip is led by you.”

Shi Xiangtou subconsciously wiped the goosebumps rising on his arm: “You have to come up with an idea.”

“Anyway, their meaning is not to let us go, so might as well just stroll around the village first.”

Lu Bai’s mindset was quite steady, even speaking with a smile.

His calm performance actually calmed the two incense masters present quite a bit.

“Let’s go, first check out the current situation of the villagers.”

As he spoke, he stepped toward Xiao Li’s house at the village head.

The old woman and Shi Xiangtou exchanged a glance with each other, raised no objections, and followed one after the other behind Lu Bai.

The remaining two death fighters, even if they had other ideas, facing such a situation, could only grit their teeth and follow.

No matter what, staying with the incense masters was safer than wandering blindly alone.

Passing through the wooden fence around the house, they arrived in front of the house door.

The house door was ajar, and could be pushed open with a gentle push.

But as soon as the door was pushed open, a bone-chilling yin wind blew straight at them, making it extremely uncomfortable.

There were no lights inside the house, pitch black.

This instead allowed notice of the God of Wealth Building at the base of the wall, because inside that building, ghostly fire faintly floated.

“Did it escape or…”

The old woman cautiously approached, sensing no existence of the household guardian immortal from the God of Wealth Building.

Lu Bai walked to the front of the God of Wealth Building and squatted down: “There were no omens before the incident, probably didn’t escape.”

The so-called Four Great Gates, nicely put are immortals, ugly put are just a group of animals that have become spirits.

Evil spirits and immortals are essentially the same, the difference merely orderly or chaotic.

Since not abiding by rules, whatever it does, Lu Bai wouldn’t be surprised.

“Lu Xiangtou, come out quick and look.”

Shi Xiangtou stood at the house door, his face carrying a horrified expression.

“?”

Lu Bai stood up and walked to the entrance, looking along Shi Xiangtou’s gaze.

It turned out that on the stone path in the village, at some unknown time, a large swarm of figures had suddenly appeared.

A rough count, about three or four hundred people.

So many people crowded on the not-so-wide stone path, heads bobbing, looking quite spectacular.

Moreover, some among them looked quite familiar to Lu Bai, remarkably all villagers from Liu Family Village, just somehow fewer.

The villagers had lost their previous enthusiasm, all with expressionless faces, shuffling stiffly toward the position where Lu Bai and the others were.

The villagers’ gazes were vacant, devoid of any human emotions.

Seeing this scene, even the old woman who prided herself on having seen much felt a wave of panic.

The villagers’ group gradually closed in, under the night, as if something was hidden in the crowd secretly sizing them up.

Lu Bai lightly exhaled: “Let’s go out first, don’t stay in the house.”

Normally, though many villagers, if really going all out, just Shi Xiangtou and the old woman would suffice to deal with them.

The problem was, these villagers acted so anomalously, clearly under the control of an evil spirit, making it hard to strike at these innocent villagers.

Finding the evil spirit behind this trouble and taking it out was the best resolution method.

Arriving outside the wooden fence, Lu Bai nodded to indicate Shi Xiangtou and the others to follow him around to the back of the crowd.

He jogged along the village edge in a circle, occasionally slowing to form a hand seal and conveniently toss down a few grains of glutinous rice.

Lu Bai casually inquired: “What means can you still use now?”

“Besides methods needing incense, others are no problem.”

Shi Xiangtou gave the reply without hesitation.

When realizing unable to summon Master Bai Fourteen, he immediately verified his available skills.

It could only be said this area’s restrictions weren’t as strict as imagined, merely extinguishing the incense, but immortal magic power could still be borrowed.

“Correct, we still have strength to resist.”

Regardless of the old woman’s true thoughts, at least her words were quite morale-boosting.

Lu Bai nodded, turning attention back to the crowd.

Their actions didn’t provoke any extreme reactions from the villagers, merely following their figures, slowly turning heads.

The large group of villagers like marionettes, footsteps extremely slow, if just this, actually couldn’t pose much threat.

The evil spirit mixed in the villagers seemed to realize this, soon making corresponding moves.

A strange call abruptly rang out from the crowd.

That strange call like nails scraping a blackboard, extremely uncomfortable to hear.

But with this strange call from the crowd, the chilling yin wind suddenly intensified several times, blowing the fence outside the dilapidated tiled house creaking.

In the various shadows in the village, it seemed some indescribable things had appeared.

The pitch-black chilling cold around Lu Bai and the others became even more bone-deep, body joints stiff like iced over.

“…This won’t do.”

The old woman even speaking became somewhat difficult: “Can’t keep hiding, must find a way to counter.”

Lu Bai stopped, leisurely straightening his clothing.

Smilingly said: “Time to counter.”

“You thought of a method?” Shi Xiangtou’s eyes lit up.

“Guess why this evil spirit suddenly intensified its offensive?”

Lu Bai didn’t wait for Shi Xiangtou’s answer, proactively explaining: “This proves it’s anxious.”

“What meaning?”

“Among Hu Yellow White Willow Four Great Gates, only Hu Clan can control so many people at once.”

As Lu Bai spoke, he formed a hand seal, then extended it to Shi Xiangtou’s mouth: “Come on.”

Shi Xiangtou recognized what hand seal it was, immediately realizing Lu Bai’s plan.

He took a deep breath: “Oh~ Oh~ Oh~”

He imitated a rooster crowing, controlled by Lu Bai to amplify the volume.

At the same time, other directions in the village also rang with such movement.

No rooster at hand, could only try this way.

Effective?

Yes!

And the effect exceptionally obvious.

As the saying goes, rooster crows and the world turns white.

Fake rooster is still a rooster.

Clearly visible, the villagers gathered on the stone path, upon hearing the movement from all directions, all detached from that marionette state.

Though not immediately awake, all with bewildered expressions, no longer moving per the evil spirit’s instructions.
