My Ability Pool is Superior

Lu Bai struck too quickly; the old woman didn’t even have time to persuade if she wanted to.

Watching this fox spirit disperse into smoke, she was silent for a moment before carefully asking, “So what do we do now?”

Lu Bai drew an incense stick from Shi Xiangtou’s bundle and turned to hand it to the old woman: “Summon Master Bai Fourteen.”

He had just asked the fox spirit, and it seemed unaware of Master Tao’s existence.

To inquire about the spirit messenger, they still needed to find Master Bai Fourteen, the immortal involved.

The old woman took the incense and conveniently lit it.

The yin wind stopped blowing, and that bone-chilling feeling was gradually fading, no longer affecting the lighting of incense.

Amid the pitch-black wasteland, there were still quite a few movements coming from it; if nothing unexpected, it should be Liu Family Village’s household guardian immortals.

The fox spirit had previously forced these household guardian immortals to act against the villagers; even if they had other ideas, they had already been compelled to join the faction pushing to overthrow the incense sect order.

However, the household guardian immortals’ cultivation was indeed not high.

Hiding in the back beating drums was fine, but expecting them to step forward to deal with Lu Bai and these three incense masters was not very realistic.

“Is this okay?”

Shi Xiangtou noticed the old woman beginning the communicating with spirits ritual and said somewhat hesitantly.

“You don’t believe Master Bai Fourteen?” Lu Bai looked at him with a hint of amusement.

Clearly, the fox spirit’s words had still planted some doubts in Shi Xiangtou’s heart.

No matter how you put it, Master Bai Fourteen was indeed an immortal, not humanity.

Shi Xiangtou quickly waved his hands: “It’s not that I don’t believe, I just feel we don’t need to be in such a hurry.”

The old woman silently slowed her actions in summoning Master Bai Fourteen, preparing to stop at any moment.

Lu Bai noticed the old woman’s reaction: “You all think we should take it slow?”

Shi Xiangtou wanted to say yes but felt it a bit presumptuous.

“You need to look at the problem from another angle. The anti-incense sect faction’s evil spirits’ series of actions proves they believe Master Bai Fourteen will oppose them, so we should call Master Bai Fourteen over to exchange opinions.”

Lu Bai spread his hands: “And you’re seeming a bit optimistic; what we should worry about now is whether Master Bai Fourteen can even be called over.”

The old woman thought about it and felt there was reason in it, muttering under her breath as she sped up her actions in summoning Master Bai Fourteen.

What happened next was indeed as Lu Bai had predicted.

Until the incense in her hand burned out, there was no response from Master Bai Fourteen.

The old woman’s hand shook, and a clump of incense ash fell.

She couldn’t help but panic: “Something happened in the county town.”

“What do you mean?”

Shi Xiangtou tensely stood up: “Then we need to hurry back.”

“You can’t leave yet.”

A sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Bai looked toward the sound; it was a little old man about 1.5 meters tall wearing a yellow horse robe.

The little old man stood at the village head, his horse robe seeming ill-fitting with a long section dragging on the ground.

A weird little old man appearing in the dead of night looked hostile no matter how you saw it.

The old woman stood up: “Who are you?!”

“Endless, huh?”

With Lu Bai present, Shi Xiangtou gained some courage.

On the contrary, Lu Bai appeared very casual, with a relaxed smile on his face.

“Don’t be so fiery, sirs; this little old man greets you.”

As soon as the words fell, the little old man at the village head bowed.

In an instant, accompanied by chilling laughter, bone-scraping yin wind swirled up again outside the village, layer upon layer.

Perhaps due to this great immortal suddenly appearing, the household guardian immortals who had been skulking in the village’s various dark corners immediately became restless again.

Lu Bai proactively stepped forward.

“It seems your faction has quite a few immortals.”

“Just many who have attained the dao helping.”

The little old man smiled reservedly: “However, Hu Jiao actually falling to you three spirit messengers— this little old man is terribly curious.”

“Then I’ll conveniently explain it to you too.”

Lu Bai grinned and charged toward the village head.

During the run, black and white misty sheen surged from his arms again.

Estimating the distance was about right, he quietly activated [Flash Time].

The scene before his eyes fell into stasis.

The thick black smoke from his left arm sprang to the ground like a spring, then shot him out like a rocket with terrifying power.

Just as he was about to land in front of the little old man, Lu Bai clenched his right fist; the swirling white light covered his entire right arm, condensing into a nearly one-meter-long milky white conical spike.

This time, he had no intention of holding back.

The massive white thorn carried an unstoppable ferocious aura as it crashed down.

Zero point five seconds passed, and time flowed again.

Bang!

A tooth-grating violent hum erupted at the village head.

Immortal magic power was still the most effective power against evil spirits.

The little old man in the yellow horse robe hadn’t expected Lu Bai to wield such massive magic power, nor such a sudden attack.

With no chance to resist, he was shot to kill on the spot.

Even though it wasn’t the first time seeing Lu Bai act, this exaggerated performance still seemed so illusory that Shi Xiangtou could hardly believe it.

The old woman took several deep breaths, reminding: “Lu Xiangtou, this is not a place to linger.”

Not long after taking down the fox spirit, another little old man came.

If they waited longer, who knew what other evil spirits might appear.

Lu Bai dispersed the magic power in his arms and turned to the two incense masters: “Yeah, let’s head back to the city first.”

……

County town, inside a courtyard.

Ten or so young people gathered together, all with grave expressions.

“The rest of the arson group can now head to the predetermined positions.”

“Old Six, as soon as we leave, you immediately start the arson.”

“Brother Wang, once you reach the county yamen, when you see the firelight, go straight in and wreak destruction—the bigger the commotion, the better.”

“As for Fan Ding, uh, you still come with me and Brother Yuan to open the city gate.”

Hearing the arrangement, Fan Ding seemed very hesitant.

He gritted his teeth and mustered courage to question: “Xiao Xueyin, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but hasn’t the time come to go all out yet?”

Xiao Xueyin apparently hadn’t expected the usually meek Fan Ding to dare raise an opposing opinion at this moment.

“Brother Fan Ding, do you think we have the right to choose now?”

Noticing the atmosphere in the yard suddenly turn dejected, Xiao Xueyin felt he still needed to boost everyone’s morale.

He said earnestly: “I don’t know who leaked the existence of the death fighters, causing so many of our brothers to be controlled by the natives.

But that doesn’t mean we have to obediently follow those natives’ orders; after all, once that immortal is taken down, we can regain our freedom.

With our power alone, we indeed can’t take down that immortal, but based on what I’ve gathered sidelong these days, these natives are clearly preparing to overthrow the existing order.”

Xiao Xueyin said this with a confident smile: “Since it’s reform, how can there be no bleeding?”
