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...
"Are you sure you can handle this, Old Deng?!"
Bai Cang glared at Han Qinhu, his face contorted with rage. "I knew you weren't favored by our grandmaster, but I never imagined you'd be so utterly worthless, lacking even the slightest sense of decency?"
Putting everything else aside, Han Qinhu should know Bai Cang's "steadiness" and "patience" better than anyone else. He is the most pragmatic person and is known as "the number one hero of Heshan".
Old Han still vividly remembers how his simple statement, "My master is Han Qinhu," instantly transformed him from an enemy into the only direct disciple of the Han family.
Even with his "good temper," Han Qinhu still wanted to "make a three-point agreement" with him?
Moreover, what kind of bullshit "three rules" is this? It's clearly just an eight-character motto: "Don't fight back when hit, don't talk back when insulted."
What does this show? It shows that not only is Lao Han unpopular and has many grudges against the people around Tianhe Zhenjun, but he also has a low status and no deterrent power whatsoever.
Otherwise, would he need to make a special agreement with Bai Cang to deal with ordinary "sarcasm" or be ostracized or squeezed out?
Perhaps they were already mentally prepared to be severely humiliated?
Thinking of this, Bai Cang looked at Han Qinhu with even more disappointment and frustration.
Why can't you be more ambitious and try to win favor with your grandmaster?
Why the hell don't you dare to fight those people?
"Bullshit! How could I, a dignified high-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, lose face in front of your grandmaster?"
Han Qinhu stiffened his neck, with an expression that said, "He's slandering me! He's slandering me!" He said, "I'm just worried that you might not be able to control yourself and fall into someone else's verbal trap."
“Your grandmaster is always attended to by inner disciples of Longhu Mountain. They are a major sect of the Xuanmen. You can imagine how they treat us outsiders. Your grandmaster has to consider the face of True Lord Lilong. What does it matter if we suffer a little? We can’t cause trouble for your grandmaster.”
Han Qinhu spoke earnestly and logically, but Bai Cang remained skeptical. "Ah, yes, yes, you're right. I believe you, really..."
Han Qinhu was enraged upon hearing this, "Anyway, there are only these three conditions. Just tell me if you agree or not. If you don't agree, then forget it. I don't want to take you to meet your grandmaster anyway!"
"Look, you're in such a hurry again." Bai Cang said with a grin, "I didn't say I didn't believe it either, so why is Master so anxious? Could it be that what I said is true?"
Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.
Bai Cang was displeased and fiercely attacked Han Qinhu's lungs, unleashing a series of "urgent" moves from the "Dian Beng Ji Xiao Le" style, leaving Han Qinhu dizzy and disoriented.
"Don't you dare call me Master, you're my ancestor!"
Han Qinhu said irritably, "From now on, when addressing someone in formal settings, please call me Abbot. If you cause trouble outside, don't say you're my disciple. I can't handle a disciple like you!"
Bai Cang smiled and said, "Okay, Han Zhiwu!"
Han Qinhu was so angry that his brain swelled up, he felt his brain boiling, his face twitched wildly, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably. He had a strange feeling of being "frozen with anger".
He pointed at Bai Cang, then opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin, and his blood pressure skyrocketed.
"Hmph! That's all I have to say, you rat tail juice!"
After hastily uttering a single sentence, Han Qinhu turned and stormed off, fleeing in a huff.
Bai Cang clicked his tongue indifferently, "You can't hold back already? I only used the 'urgent' technique in the Ten Mantra."
Trying to talk his way out of this? He's Old Han's ancestor!
Before his transmigration, he was known as the "Pianist of the Rift," the "Blood Pressure Controller," and the "Key of Punishment." He was proficient in "Musical Fist Techniques," having studied in various public restrooms, and was well-versed in the essence of techniques such as "Unequal Mother Style" and "Open Your Eyes to See the World."
With this punch, even the Great Dao would be obliterated; what is the insignificant Han Qinhu worth mentioning?
Effortlessly easy to handle! Infuriatingly infuriating!
However, Bai Cang was also very clear: what's the use of being a "bully at home" with Lao Han? You need to be an expert in internal wars, but you absolutely cannot be an amateur in external wars.
Old Han is probably unreliable. If he wants to win favor with the True Lord Ancestor, he can only rely on his own efforts.
Bai Cang, however, was quite confident: "He's a pro at coaxing old men!"
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
That night, neither the stars nor the moon were visible.
Bai Cang sat upright in the void, and suddenly a shadow appeared behind him. The banner of ghostly white bones fluttered in the air, intertwining thousands of lights and shadows, as if connecting heaven and earth, and depicting the scene of the Nine Netherworlds.
Xiao Nie resembled a fairy from Mount Gushe, clad in a robe of the Nine Netherworlds, sitting gracefully on a six-tiered lotus platform.
The cold, ethereal aura of Xuan Shuang permeated the air, resembling the chilling moonlight or a light veil swirling around.
It is like the vast and bottomless blue sky, where the sun and moon shine on the golden and silver terraces.
Eight hundred and eighty rampaging soldiers surrounded the lotus platform, forming a battle formation amidst the Nine Netherworld scenery. Each of these rampaging soldiers possessed at least a hundred years of cultivation.
There are also thirty-six ghost generals, all with over eight hundred years of cultivation, and seventy-two captains, all with over five hundred years of cultivation, totaling nine hundred and eighty-eight rampant soldiers and generals.
This is the result of Bai Cang digesting the outcome of the sword duel at Bai Man Mountain!
The forbidden Ghostly White Bone Banner of the Fifty-Four Forbidden Realms also transformed into the most supreme "Thousand Soul Banner" at this moment, bringing it one step closer to the "Human Emperor's Banner".
Not only Xiao Nie, the thousand-year-old ghost king, received Bai Cang's "divine edict," but he has now transformed into a member of the underworld ghosts and gods.
Even the thirty-six ghost generals and seventy-two captains have all been refined to varying degrees by the "divine command" talent and are transforming into ghosts and gods of the underworld.
If they were to form a full-scale formation, it would at least provide Bai Cang with magical power comparable to that of a "Divine Light Realm" expert. Xiao Nie, who commands the rampant soldiers and generals, would probably not be at a significant disadvantage when facing the Divine Light True Man alone.
This is the power of the Ghostly White Bone Banner, one of Bai Cang's four personal treasures!
In addition, he also adjusted the Heavenly Demon Blood Blade, the Five Sacred Mountains True Form Robe, and the Hun Tian Star Crown to their best condition, ready to deal with any challenges at any time.
"Besides military force, financial resources are also an important part of strength in Lanyun City."
Bai Cang pondered to himself, and immediately calmed his mind. The mountain of resources in the "Pot Heaven World" immediately came into view.
The materials included: Divine Sand of a Thousand Years, Cold Iron of Ten Thousand Years, Glazed Black Copper, Azure Blood Cold Gold, Taibai Gold Essence, Crimson Mother Gold Essence, and many other superior spiritual materials, totaling one hundred and thirty-two items.
The collection includes seventy-eight rare and precious medicinal herbs, such as the Three-Crimson Rejuvenating Herb, the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud Ganoderma, the Thousand-Year-Old Polygonatum, the Blood Marrow Fruit, the Seven-Star Grass, the Dragon Scale Ginseng, the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, and the Red Essence Ganoderma.
In addition, there were 30,000 catties of Five Elements Divine Sand, 8 million Spirit Pearls, and 500,000 Spirit Jade. Almost all of the Red Dragon Temple's inventory had been "plundered" by Bai Cang.
It's not that he colluded with Han Qinhu to enrich himself at the expense of the public, but rather that, given his achievements and strength, the "compensation" that the higher-ups "voluntarily" gave him after he relinquished real power.
In fact, not all of the 108 treasures of the Red Dragon General Temple ended up in Bai Cang's pocket; every participant in the battle received a generous reward.
He was simply the strongest and had the most illustrious record, so he took the biggest slice of the pie.
"With ten thousand strings of cash around my waist, I'll ride a crane down to Yangzhou!"
Bai Cang couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming trip to Lan Yuan Prefecture even more!
