Chapter 147: Death Fighters Under Control
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.
