Chapter 148: Chaos Everywhere
Just as the death fighters in the yard were secretly discussing among themselves, a man dressed as a night watchman carrying a gong turned into the yard.
The night watchman had an arrogant attitude and scanned the area, saying, “It’s time for you to take action.”
Xiao Xueyin knew no one would step forward, so he took the initiative to approach and quietly asked, “Yellow Great Immortal, Hu Er Ye didn’t come, right?”
Hu Er Ye?
You consumables dare to ask that?
The night watchman sneered, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Just do your job honestly.”
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. This is specially bought to show respect to you.”
Xiao Xueyin wasn’t annoyed and respectfully handed over a roast chicken wrapped in a lotus leaf.
The night watchman’s nostrils twitched as it took the roast chicken, its expression softening a bit.
“Mm, you’re not bad. After the matter is done, if you survive, you can come find me.”
Its scrutinizing gaze swept over every death fighter present: “Alright, get moving quickly.”
With that, the night watchman held the gong in one hand and the roast chicken in the other, turning to leave the yard.
Watching this yellow weasel leave, the death fighters in the yard immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They wanted to curse the yellow weasel but felt it would be embarrassing to speak only after it had left, causing the yard to inexplicably fall into silence.
Xiao Xueyin was well aware of everyone’s emotions and smiled, saying, “Everyone, relax. These things won’t be arrogant for much longer.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m definitely going to make it pay!”
“Well said.”
Watching the crowd in the yard gradually regain confidence.
Xiao Xueyin nodded: “Here’s the plan. Pick missions you’re good at. Anyway, everyone, be careful and stay safe…”
……
Inside a simple dwelling.
Xiao Xueyin paced back and forth continuously, his face full of anxiety and panic.
“You’re the one who sent someone to find me, saying there’s important news to report to me?”
Master Bai Fourteen swaggered into the dwelling.
Hearing the movement, Xiao Xueyin’s expression lit up, like a drowning person seeing a lifeline.
In his excitement, he wanted to rush over and grab Master Bai Fourteen. He took two steps forward but suddenly realized it lacked respect, so he stopped two or three steps away and asked hopefully, “May I ask if Master Bai Fourteen is before me?”
“Why didn’t you dare come to my training ground to find me?”
Master Bai Fourteen looked at Xiao Xueyin, feeling his reaction quite fitting for a loyal believer: “If you’re deliberately deceiving me, I won’t let you off.”
Xiao Xueyin hurriedly knelt before Master Bai Fourteen and said in a panic, “This… this one absolutely dares not deceive Fourteenth Master. It’s just that this matter is of great importance.”
“Fine, tell me what it is first.”
“Tonight…”
……
It took half an incense stick’s time, but Xiao Xueyin finally dumped all the intelligence he had prepared in advance in front of Master Bai Fourteen.
Of course, what he said was basically true.
He just omitted their identities as death fighters.
“Hu Clan and Yellow Clan have already joined forces deeply, huh.”
Master Bai Fourteen’s complexion fluctuated between dark and clear. Though this situation was shocking, he still believed most of it.
After all, ever since Grandma Wang San went missing, it was a fact that worldly affairs had become chaotic.
The person before him wasn’t even a spirit messenger. If he were making up lies, he couldn’t have made them so detailed and convincing.
Seeing this, Xiao Xueyin struck while the iron was hot.
“Exactly. Those ambitious evil spirits are planning to make their move tonight. Fourteenth Master, you must not take it lightly. For safety’s sake, this one thinks you should summon some immortal friends to aid you in battle right now.”
As if to prove he wasn’t lying, hoarse shouts rose from the distance, breaking the night’s silence.
Looking in the direction of the sounds, the sky over there was already dyed red by firelight.
As an immortal guarding one side, Master Bai Fourteen could easily confirm the situation in the county town if he wanted.
“How dare they!”
An angry expression surged on its round face.
Thinking of the intelligence from Xiao Xueyin, it hesitated no longer and raised its hand to draw several imperial decrees in the air.
However, in the next second, these soaring imperial decrees were silently swallowed by the night sky.
Seeing this, the anger on Master Bai Fourteen’s face stiffened for an instant, then it couldn’t help but grit its teeth.
“They’ve even used the method to seal the great gate.”
……
The area north of the city was in chaos.
“Fire! Fire!”
“No time to sleep, run quick!”
“Save people, quick! My eighty-year-old mother is still inside!”
Li Xiangtou ran out of his house reeking of alcohol, gazing at the increasingly raging fire. He was instantly sobered up by more than half.
He anxiously directed his apprentices to put out the fire.
It was worth mentioning.
Due to Master Bai Fourteen’s emergency notification, the incense masters under him had all rushed back from various mourning halls.
In the incense masters’ cognition, no place was safer than the county town under Master Bai Fourteen’s watch. On the first night back in the city, they almost all drank heavily first.
This Li Xiangtou was already considered quick to react; many more incense masters were still snoring away when the fire spread to their houses.
It could only be said that even when death fighters committed arson, they were professional arsonists. The fire quickly grew to a point where human effort couldn’t contain it.
“Everyone, don’t panic!”
Li Xiangtou wiped his face and adjusted his panicked emotions.
Even if he didn’t know why Master Bai Fourteen hadn’t made a move yet, as an incense master, he couldn’t just sit idly by.
He drew out an incense stick he carried with him and was about to light it to perform the ritual.
But at that moment,
Bang!
Not far away, a two-story inn suddenly collapsed.
A huge shadow emerged from the inn ruins. It was shockingly a weasel nearly four meters tall.
Its fur was sleek, eyes glowing red.
It didn’t crawl on the ground but walked steadily like a human.
Huang Yuan spat out a chicken bone from its mouth. It was actually quite dissatisfied right now.
According to the plan, it should appear to create chaos after fires started all over the county town.
But why had the houses in north city caught fire early?
These humans really couldn’t be trusted!
To vent its anger, it casually grabbed a handful of people and closed its claws to squeeze.
The few people in its palm were crushed on the spot, limbs and bloodied flesh exploding outward like an explosion.
Seeing this scene, the crowd around this giant weasel didn’t dare stay put and scattered like ants scorched by flames.
“Help!”
“Evil spirit! An evil spirit has entered the city!”
“Where are the incense masters? Where’s Master Bai Fourteen?!”
“Aaaah!!!”
Gazing at the evil spirit with its ferocious flames, Li Xiangtou was dumbfounded.
He wanted to protect the area and its people, but his legs felt as heavy as if filled with lead.
Not to mention anything else, just from this weasel’s size, he knew it was at least at portrait cultivation level. Only Master Bai Fourteen could handle it personally.
For a small incense master like him to charge in would be no different from sending himself to his death.
