Chapter 287 - 160: Going All Out! (Part 2)
"If any of you wishes to follow the old man, stay put. If you want to follow me to become immortals, come to my side."
Gu Zixu looked at the elders who once belonged to his hall and shouted, "Have you all forgotten the hall’s rules?"
A few old fellows glanced at Gu Zixu, who appeared tough on the outside but was weak inside, and then looked at the white-faced young man who stood with a relaxed smile, seeming extraordinarily ’valuable beyond words.’
The choice seemed obvious.
"Gu Zixu, our old hall has long been gone. Look at how much incense is still burning in the Dharma Realm? You, don’t be too proud; following the Cat Immortal Hall at least could get court approval, which is a sweet deal."
Gu Zixu chuckled angrily, "Working with cats as a rat, isn’t it like seeking skin from a tiger? Do you think you’ll be the ones to get approved?"
Upon hearing this, the rat spirit with the sharp mouth and small face bared its teeth and sneered, "Gu Zixu, when you married your daughter to please the Cat Immortal Hall, you didn’t say that then..."
"Shut up! The old man married his daughter based on the mistaken belief that the Cat Immortal Hall was friendly and never oppressed the weak. Unlike you, those corrupt officials had harmed your hall, yet you still want to work for them. If you don’t feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed for you!"
Gu Zixu’s face turned blue and then white, as if he was about to reveal his true form in anger.
Xu Qing laughed inwardly as he watched the few big rats come to him, nodding and bowing, expressing loyalty.
He put down the Xuan Yu, swung the axe around, the mountain-splitting axe weighing over three hundred pounds felt as light as nothing in his hand.
These rats had all become spirits, each with decades of cultivation, but they were still no match for him.
