Chapter 154: Strike First
Master Bai Fourteen obviously didn’t expect that badmouthing behind someone’s back would be caught by the person himself, so he helplessly masked his embarrassment with a smile.
Fortunately, Chang Shengtian didn’t dwell on this detail, simply scolded briefly, then shifted his gaze to Lu Bai and Hu Jiu Niang.
“Who can tell me exactly what happened here?”
“This… it’s a long story.”
Master Bai Fourteen didn’t know where to start either, so he turned his head to look at Hu Jiu Niang, hoping she could give a proper explanation.
However, at this moment, Hu Jiu Niang was looking up, not paying any attention to them at all.
In fact, Chang Shengtian hadn’t come alone.
Shortly after he landed, a brown-furred fox, including its tail, with a body length of ten meters, stepped through the air and hovered above everyone.
Seeing the figure overhead, Hu Jiu Niang immediately felt a surge of delight and called out aggrievedly: “Sixth Brother.”
The brown-furred fox transformed into human form and landed steadily on the ground.
Master Hu Six had a handsome appearance, with a strong scholarly air, giving off an impression as if one could smell the scent of ink on him.
He noticed the Great Serpent Phantom created by Lu Bai and became vigilant.
He didn’t approach, instead standing at a distance and probing nonchalantly: “You actually managed to capture Ninth Sister.”
“Hah, you Old Six, you really dared to chase all the way here.”
Chang Shengtian’s expression appeared somewhat ferocious, ignoring the other’s probe.
Lu Bai glanced at the System Panel, confirming that the “Node” wasn’t on these two new Immortals, but from the displayed positioning, the “Node” seemed to be moving toward them.
Judging by that movement speed, it would take a while to arrive.
Since there was no rush, he simply turned sideways and gave Chang Shengtian a concise explanation of the current situation.
“In short, a group of Immortals from the Four Great Gates have joined together, planning to overthrow the Incense Sect System. This series of events is basically all caused by this group of Immortals.”
Chang Shengtian was no less than utterly confused at this point.
If he hadn’t sensed that Master Hu Six was surveilling him, he’d probably still be sleeping soundly in the Qinggang Forest right now.
Before Chang Shengtian could fully digest the information from Lu Bai, the scholarly-looking Master Hu Six refuted in a calm tone.
“Little brother, that’s not accurate. We aren’t trying to overthrow the Incense Sect System; we’re just going with the flow of the times…”
“It doesn’t matter what you call it.”
Lu Bai interrupted Master Hu Six’s sanctimonious words and suddenly changed the topic: “Do you know about the Reincarnated Demon Persons?”
After all, Hu Jiu Niang was still under Lu Bai’s control, and with Master Bai Fourteen and Chang Shengtian present.
Under this situation, even if Lu Bai wasn’t very polite, Master Hu Six didn’t dare to turn hostile casually.
He pretended to be reserved and nodded: “I’ve heard a little.”
Lu Bai pressed: “Then do you know where the captured Reincarnated Demon Persons are?”
Master Hu Six secretly exchanged a glance with Hu Jiu Niang before giving his reply: “I’m not very clear on that; Second Brother is handling that aspect.”
Lu Bai wasn’t satisfied with this answer and immediately turned to look at Chang Shengtian and Master Bai Fourteen.
“How about we strike first and take this guy down?”
Facing this proposal, Master Bai Fourteen hesitated slightly.
However, based on Lu Bai’s understanding of this Hedgehog Immortal, if it really came to blows, he would definitely help out.
Chang Shengtian beside him directly rolled up his sleeves and bared a ferocious grin at Master Hu Six.
Lu Bai had summarized the causes and effects very well, so he pretty much understood the current situation now.
He’d been holed up alone in the forest, clearly having no interest in overthrowing the Incense Sect System; right now, he just wanted to teach this Master Hu Six who dared to surveil him a lesson.
“Good idea.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat a solid Magic Power Ball toward Master Hu Six.
Due to its excessive flight speed, it appeared almost oval-shaped.
Master Hu Six didn’t expect Chang Shengtian to fight so unscrupulously; luckily, he wasn’t completely unprepared.
He raised one hand upward, and a thick earthen flow wall immediately rose from the ground.
Bang!
The black Magic Power Ball smashed into the earthen wall on the spot, sending mud splattering everywhere.
Seeing both sides start fighting over a mere disagreement, Master Bai Fourteen’s face showed extreme conflict as he condensed a milky white Spike, controlling the Spike to flank and attack Master Hu Six behind the wall.
Sensing the danger, a massive fox tail appeared behind Master Hu Six, using a Tail Sweep to flick the Spike away.
The scene looked quite lively, but Lu Bai didn’t join in the fight.
He still kept part of his attention on the System Panel; anyway, the result of this battle didn’t require his worry.
Although both Chang Shengtian and Master Hu Six were Great Immortals with Temple Building Cultivation Level, if they got serious, the outcome was still uncertain.
But if Master Bai Fourteen, a “half-step Temple Building” Immortal, joined in, the scales of battle would tilt very obviously.
Unless there was an actor, there wouldn’t be any other result.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chang Shengtian’s Magic Power Balls shot out crazily like they were free.
In between, Master Bai Fourteen occasionally fired a cold Spike.
Under these circumstances, Master Hu Six completely couldn’t find an opportunity to counterattack and was suppressed throughout.
Moreover, he didn’t dare to let his guard down at all; after all, these were two Great Immortals—not only was their attack frequency high, but their Lethality was also exaggeratedly strong.
Every Magic Power collision would stir up a violent Shockwave below this Large Pit.
Violent Airwaves continuously swept through, making it hard for even Lu Bai to focus on observing the “Node”‘s position.
Boom~
Inevitably, a prolonged defense would lead to loss.
After holding out for a while, Master Hu Six still had a lapse and was solidly struck by a black Magic Power Ball.
His half-foxified body flew backward, crashing onto the sloped side of the Large Pit.
After taking such a heavy hit, his aura clearly weakened significantly, unable to maintain that elegant scholarly posture any longer.
Chang Shengtian had no intention of giving Master Hu Six a chance to breathe and spat out several more Magic Power Balls to finish him off.
Feeling it was about enough, he revealed his Great Snake true form and wrapped him up with his tail.
He grinned ferociously, manipulating his tail to bring Master Hu Six before him: “Hah, trash, you still dared to provoke your Grandpa Chang.”
“Isn’t saying it like that a bit too hurtful to him?”
Lu Bai shifted his attention to the barely breathing Master Hu Six.
“Uh?”
Chang Shengtian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lu Bai would speak up for this fox.
Even if the win wasn’t glorious, it was still a win.
Master Bai Fourteen also showed a smile, preparing to say something.
Suddenly, his complexion changed drastically, and he turned to look toward the City Gate.
Over there, a vigorous Smoke Rising appeared, accompanied by bursts of grand and anomalous clapper sounds.
The rhythm of the strikes didn’t cause discomfort; instead, it was filled with an indescribable sense of harmonious beauty.
