In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
What will Lao Han think when he finds out?
He won't think about anything else; he'll just tear you to pieces and grind your bones to ashes!
Bai Cang rolled his eyes inwardly, but showed no expression on his face.
Zhao Yunlong's behavior perfectly matched Bai Cang's "stereotypical prejudice" against him: he had some brains, but not many.
If he were even slightly smarter, Old Han wouldn't have given him the label of "trash."
How could such a clumsy attempt at provocation possibly work on a black-hearted old fox like Bai Cang?
You can jump all you want, I'll consider it a loss if I don't even acknowledge you.
But to Bai Cang's surprise, while he ignored Zhao Yunlong, many others jumped out to defend him.
"How can Senior Brother Bai, who has been a disciple for less than a year, be compared to Senior Brother Zhao, a true master who has been a disciple for twenty years?"
"That's right, Senior Brother Bai is an alchemist, he shouldn't be on the battlefield in the first place."
"Senior Brother Bai, residing peacefully at the mountain gate and providing us with elixirs, is the best choice."
"We already admire Senior Brother Bai's noble character and unwillingness to use special privileges. How can we let him personally experience danger?"
"Senior Brother Zhao is a combat cultivator. Is it a bit unreasonable to make things difficult for Senior Brother Bai, a master alchemist?"
"Everyone has their own expertise, and I strongly oppose Senior Brother Bai challenging me to a duel!"
Immediately, many inner disciples inside the ship's tower spoke up in rebuttal.
While there was certainly an element of trying to curry favor with Bai Cang, Zhao Yunlong's actions were so disgusting that they provoked widespread anger, which was also a very important factor.
They didn't know what conflict existed between Bai Cang and Zhao Yunlong, nor did they dare to get involved in the fight between the two true disciples.
However, Zhao Yunlong's aggressive approach, forcing a genius alchemist to go to the battlefield to "die," was something even these "just bystanders" couldn't stand.
Regardless of their past grievances, with a major battle imminent, this is the time for them to unite and fight together against a common enemy. Yet Zhao Yunlong disregards the overall situation and deliberately sabotages Bai Cang.
They are truly inhuman and despicable!
"Bai Zhenchuan is a genius of unparalleled talent; how could you mere mortals possibly fathom his abilities?"
Zhao Yunlong's face darkened, his hand resting on his long sword, his cold eyes flashing like lightning as he surveyed the surroundings. The crowd immediately "calmed down" and fell silent.
This is where the advantage lies. When GSL is blindly praising the Void God, it's easy for bystanders to stand up for themselves and present the facts and reason with him, simply recounting what the Void God has done.
However, when they unleash their "box weapons" and publish your personal information such as your job, place of origin, and name, very few people dare to stand up to them.
"Junior Brother Bai, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Zhao Yunlong, whose words commanded respect, turned to Bai Cang and said, "I still vividly remember Junior Brother Bai's prowess on the life-or-death arena that day."
"Could it be that you've become a cowardly rat without Uncle Han around?"
Really? Really? Surely no one can only act so arrogantly because of their sect's connections?
Zhao Yunlong launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks, a mix of clumsy attempts at flattery and provocation, which made Bai Cang want to laugh.
His face has been refined; you think you can break through his defenses with such a small trick?
Bai Cang didn't even bother to acknowledge him; why bother arguing with a dead man?
Rather than engaging in verbal sparring, Bai Cang prefers to eliminate the root of the problem completely.
However, since Zhao Yunlong was already attacking so aggressively, Bai Cang felt it was inappropriate to remain "unmoved."
Anyone who didn't know better would think I was really afraid of him.
So Bai Cang simply cupped his hands to Zhang Yuanfeng and said, "I leave it to my senior uncle to decide."
Are you, Zhao Yunlong, really that good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting?
In the world of gangsters, the most important thing is having connections. Having powerful backers, a large and influential group, and the ability to bully the weak are the keys to success.
Among everyone present, who is the strongest?
If Zhang Yuanfeng gives the order, would Zhao Yunlong still dare to say anything?
But to Bai Cang's surprise, Zhang Yuanfeng said, "Then please, Junior Nephew Bai, make the trip!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunlong's face lit up with pride, while Bai Cang couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Zhang Yuanfeng in disbelief.
You old bastard, how dare you betray the Taoist priest with such a lack of martial ethics?
Although Bai Cang was not afraid of battle, he absolutely could not accept being schemed against and forced into battle.
"Alright, alright, so this is how you play, old Deng? Just wait and see how I deal with your apprentice in the future."
Bai Cang gritted his teeth inwardly, but on the surface remained calm. He simply cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "I will obey the decree of the Chief Chef!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanfeng smiled slightly, flicked his sleeve, and sent something flying towards Bai Cang.
Surprisingly, there were four golden pills, each the size of a longan and brimming with spiritual energy, floating and leaping in front of Bai Cang, as if something was eager to burst out of their shells.
“Nephew Bai is an alchemist and not skilled in combat. We elders should take care of him.”
Zhang Yuanfeng said calmly, "I will bestow these four golden pills upon you for protection."
"When the battle begins, you only need to use this item to summon four mighty warriors to conquer the four directions on your behalf."
Seeing this scene.
Zhao Yunlong's eyes turned red!
I'm carrying you guys, do you guys have any shame? You're openly using a boosting service, aren't you?
Others may not know, but he knows very well that when Zhang Yuanfeng condensed his Dao foundation, the supernatural power he mastered was called "Binding Spirits and Commanding Generals," which was a method for refining Dao soldiers, and his specialty was "Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers."
Now that Zhang Yuanfeng has bestowed the golden pill upon him, what difference is there between this and him personally taking action to fight for Bai Cang?
However, Zhao Yunlong was clearly too young and knew nothing about the older generation's face.
Bai Cang accepted the golden pill and was about to speak when Zhang Yuanfeng rolled up his sleeves and sent a small pot to Bai Cang's front.
A blazing aura immediately emanated from it.
"This is the Fire Crow Pot, which houses one hundred and eight Fire Crow Dao Soldiers, who are transformed from the essence of Earth Flame True Fire and are most skilled at breaking formations and fighting."
Zhang Yuanfeng smiled slightly, "Nephew Bai, use this treasure to challenge them. If you find an opportunity, give that Water Mansion Formation a good blow. If not, don't force it. It's best to protect yourself."
"If you can win just one battle, I will credit you with a merit. If you can weaken the Water Mansion Formation and expose its weaknesses, I will count this battle as your greatest achievement!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunlong was dumbfounded.
His face was filled with disbelief, his whole body was trembling, and he stared intently at Zhang Yuanfeng, as if to say: No one can be so shameless.
Everyone knows that the Fire Crow Pot is your natal magic weapon, and the Fire Crow Dao Soldier is your trump card.
You, a dignified Dao Foundation True Person at the Condensation Realm, even lent your natal magic weapon to Bai Cang so that he could challenge a demon cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm. What's the difference between that and cheating?
No way! This is blatant cheating, they're not even willing to cover it up, are they?
Why don't you just get involved yourself and protect Bai Cang?
Is this something you can really do in the open? I know you have to do it in the dark!
I fought tooth and nail, narrowly escaped death, and in the end, this kid got all the credit, right?
Ugh! Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Uncle. I will certainly not fail you!"
Regardless of what Zhao Yunlong was thinking, Bai Cang excitedly stood up.
The way everyone looked at Zhao Yunlong was full of mockery and schadenfreude.
You fucking acted like a jerk, now you're dumbfounded, aren't you?
"good!"
Zhang Yuanfeng waved his hand and said, "Go, but remember not to be greedy for credit or get too attached to the battle."
"If things don't go well, I'll be there to help you immediately, so don't feel guilty!"
Seeing Zhang Yuanfeng's eagerness to feed Bai Cang directly into his mouth, he even went so far as to plant rice in his stomach.
Zhao Yunlong has gone completely mad from eating lemons!
