Chapter 145: Iron Fist
“So you were circling around the village to make preparations in advance.”
The old woman suddenly understood.
Lu Bai shook his head: “Just testing it out, didn’t expect the effect to be pretty good.”
The evil spirit controlling the villagers and hiding behind them was clearly trying to force them to act against the villagers.
After all, in the Incense Sect System, immortals doing good deeds get incense offering blessings, and the spirit messengers under them naturally belong to the lawful faction.
If an incense master acts recklessly and harms lives, they will basically suffer dire consequences and won’t meet a good end.
By that time, even if unwilling deep down, they would be forced to detach from the Incense Sect System,
Under the influence of these factors, the reason for the loss of nearly a hundred villagers was self-evident.
The evil spirit hiding behind had failed to force them to join, so it would likely take action personally next.
So Lu Bai didn’t relax; instead, he secretly heightened his vigilance. As expected, what they would face next, besides an evil spirit with at least An Kan Cultivation, would also include the household guardian immortals from each family in the village.
Seeing these villagers all lose control, the evil spirit hiding behind finally couldn’t sit still.
The village elder stepped out from the crowd, accompanied by howling yin wind, his entire figure exuding eerie ghostly aura.
It stared at Lu Bai and said with a fake smile: “You, junior, are somewhat interesting.”
Lu Bai couldn’t possibly be scared by such movement; his face still bore a kindly smile.
“Did you cause all this?”
“Just the beginning, nothing to mention.”
The village elder waved his hand fearlessly due to backing.
To put it bluntly, in its eyes, in this territory, the only ones worth fearing were Master Bai Fourteen and Chang Shengtian in Qinggang Forest.
Incense master?
Not worth a chuckle.
Initially, it planned to use these incense masters like Lu Bai to scheme against Master Bai Fourteen.
Since it hadn’t succeeded, there was no need to drag it out.
During this time, Shi Xiangtou seized the opportunity to cut a gash in his palm, muttering under his breath.
Causing his blood to condense into several blood arrows that shot toward the village elder.
Unable to burn incense didn’t mean the incense masters would lose their ability to resist.
Shi Xiangtou had taken down quite a few evil spirits with this blood arrow technique.
However, the previously invincible blood arrows posed no threat to the village elder at all.
It simply waved its sleeve, blocking and absorbing the several blood arrows.
It was all too easy, making Shi Xiangtou’s heart race with fear.
“That’s a nice trick, got anything else?”
The village elder unhurriedly walked toward the group, each step feeling like it stomped on their hearts, causing their heartbeats to accelerate uncontrollably.
The two death fighters exchanged a glance, and A Niu gave a barely perceptible nod.
As death fighters, they could never stand on the same side as the natives.
Moreover, the current situation was so clear.
Not exaggerating at all, if the village elder showed even a hint of wanting to recruit them, they would surrender without the slightest hesitation.
As the village elder stepped forward bit by bit, the distance between the two sides kept shortening.
Twenty meters…
Ten meters…
Perhaps the distance was close enough.
The old woman, who had been holding her breath in concentration, grabbed her cane and twisted it hard.
The cane’s outer shell scattered like wood chips, revealing the spike inside.
The spike was fully thirty centimeters long, its tip gleaming with chilling light.
She didn’t show it off or explain, directly launching the spike to thrust at the village elder.
This spike from Master Bai Fourteen clearly had much greater power than Shi Xiangtou’s blood arrow technique.
