"Double tail?" My heart sank again.
The fox corpse in the depths of the White Wolf's Den has two tails.
No wonder, as Mao San and Han Jin were the first two to show no reaction; everyone thought we were leaving smoothly.
It's amazing that the Yudong Mountain Immortal Hall has a double-tailed fox immortal, a level-grandmaster among the internal five elements!
Not only was Xiang Ke deceived, but also this little Taoist.
The expressions of Wu Jinluan and others, as well as the people of the Underworld, are filled with unease.
Everyone can see that we are going the wrong way.
It's obvious that something is off with Han Jin right now.
It's even more obvious that we are about to face off against the Ironcauldron!
No one wants this to happen.
However, no one can stop this from happening...
As I cast a glance towards Mao San Three, my eyes were filled with a sense of helplessness.
"Sit quietly, the old fox in front will directly take the car to the bottom if he finds us out of place. There is a river or a mountain on the side, or a big truck coming straight ahead, you won't be able to handle it either." Mao San Three's tone was very calm.
He is more worried about not the issue with Han Jin, but rather the fox immortal who controls Xiang Ke and the little Taoist?
It only occurred to me when I noticed the roadside, indeed, there is no guardrail on the national highway. If a car were to leave the road suddenly, a sudden accident would certainly result in many deaths!
Failure is not an option.
That twin-tailed old fox is truly cunning and treacherous!
Fortunately, Mao San Three's analysis was spot on.
Time is slowly passing, slow and giving people a sense of urgency. I hold my breath and concentrate, using the Dagu Zen practice of breathing to fully regain composure.
The car has been driving for half a day without stopping even once to let anyone use the restroom.
Han Jin did not initially fear car sickness, but that was only at the beginning. The car speed was too fast, his face alternating between pale and flushed, and by the end, his hand was clenched tightly over his chest as if he were about to vomit.
Finally, the car came to a stop.
As I looked outside, we were no longer on the national highway. We had already gotten off and taken a small road, and we were now at the foot of a mountain.
There were people densely packed around the foot of the mountain.
Without exception, everyone was dressed in colorful and ornate clothing, adorned with various animal patterns, clouds, and mountains.
And all of them looked grave, with a faint sense of cold and murderous intent.
The fox on the small Taoist's shoulder in the passenger seat darted out, a white-furred fox with two thick tails that shook vigorously. Its eyes were mischievous to the extreme, and then it darted out of the window.
Xiang Ke and the little Taoist woke up almost simultaneously. They shook their heads, initially feeling confused.
"Where are we?"
The two exchanged glances, completely unaware of what had just happened.
The next moment, their faces turned pale with shock as they stared dazedly at the people outside.
"It seems that the Iron Cauldron is not willing to argue with you," Mao San Three shook his head.
"Oh, you're right, their reasons are their reasons," Mao San Three's light-hearted remark clearly stood on the side of Han Jin.
Actually, from the very beginning, it seems that Mao San Three never had any issues with Han Jin.
Even when he was harsh on Liu Tai Xuan, he merely said, "Is it too heavy-handed?"
And later, he acknowledged Han Jin's words.
On closer inspection, whether it's genuine recognition or just a show of formality is up for debate.
Old Gong is used to being straightforward, regardless of Han Jin's situation, Mao San Three needs to consider the changes in cultivation level and character after eliminating the Three Corpses Bugs.
"Once the reasoning is done, it's a matter of meeting the enemy with the enemy and covering the water with soil." Han Jin's words undoubtedly made the atmosphere inside the car more tense.
"Haha, the Four Rules Immortal also had such resolve, but he was too short-lived and was poisoned." Mao San Three nodded slightly.
At this moment, Wu Jinluan glanced at him slightly, actually very subtly. But since the atmosphere inside the car was so tense and delicate, and I had noticed it, Mao San Three couldn't have missed it either. He directly met Wu Jinluan's gaze, smiling faintly.
Han Jin stood up and walked towards the car door.
A group of people followed Han Jin down, and everyone else's emotions were gathered.
There's no other reason. The conflict has arisen, and it cannot be reconciled. So, Han Jin must lead the way to suppress it!
Otherwise, we won't be able to leave.
At this moment, the people at the foot of the mountain had clearly divided into five parts, each with over twenty people. All of them had foxes on their shoulders, their fur white and gleaming.
One person stepped forward.
She looked to be in her fifties or sixties, with a small build, slightly hunched back, and a number of bottles hanging from her waist, some wooden, some porcelain, and some jade. They were quite varied and eye-catching.
Moreover, she did not have a fox immortal on her shoulder, but she appeared calm. However, I knew that this was far from the truth. Her aura was very dangerous.
"Four Rules Mountain, Deputy Watch Master Immortal, Han Jin. We have the honor to greet you." The woman bowed on the side first and then smiled, saying, "I am White Jizi from White family. In some way, we should be considered relatives to your Four Rules Mountain. My name is White Jizi."
"What's this nonsense about associating you with the White family of Four Rules Mountain? You are White family, but not a White of Four Rules Mountain. The White family has no qualifications to be mentioned." Han Jin waved his sleeve and continued, "Furthermore, you are not even a Level-Nine Immortal. What qualifications do you have to speak to me?"
"Is the Iron Cauldron mountain now empty? How will you explain the delay in my schedule?"
Han Jin is not difficult to deal with.
It's too difficult to deal with!
I've truly seen the drawbacks in the true immortals who have eaten Tian Gong Spring.
Without the Three Corpses Bugs, emotions are infinitely magnified? Misanthropic, irritable, self-centered—it seems like this is the true nature of humans!
However, I know that the Taoists of Four Rules Mountain will not be like this.
Han Jin is exactly the type of person who wouldn't feel any guilt over stoning someone to death…
Only, now Han Jin has become that kind of person…
That means we have to be extremely careful in dealing with him…
A slight mistake could result in death!
"Due to the impact of the heavenly thunder, our Deputy Watch Master was sent back by the Yudong Mountain Immortal Hall, and he is on his way up the mountain. Our immortal, as well as several elders and the Black Eldress, are all waiting for him to sort out his body and fear that he might die. They have only ordered me and these disciples to wait here. Please welcome you all into our hall," the old woman Bai Zhi explained with respect, showing no unusual emotions.
When we got out of the car earlier, Wu Jinluan had walked over to me side by side. He slightly shook his head, indicating that he was very alert.
"Forced to come, it's inevitable. The car is not safe, it's not hard to kill us, play tricks if you can't beat them openly, but going up the mountain is out of the question... Daolong Master, you listen. There are several elders and elders who are all old men. Immortal Watch Master and the Black Eldress? The Black Eldress is not the Watch Master? How strong are they then? Now it sounds like nothing is wrong, but this old woman's tone carries a killing aura. It's a trap..."
Wu Jinluan's words were relatively low in volume, but everyone beside our car could hear them, including Han Jin.
"Han Jin, your strength may be great, but don't challenge the foundation of a sect... After all, as we go up, it will be the home field of others. Even if Four Rules Mountain wants to establish its authority, it cannot do so by entering the mountain gate of another sect. If it does so, it will not be establishing authority, but rather being arrogant and oppressing the host. If it loses, it will be trespassing on another sect's territory and killing is not an exaggeration..."
"The Iron Cauldron is not simple... No one is frugal, thinking of a way to deal with us so quickly..."
Wu Jinluan was afraid that Han Jin would continue to be stubborn, so he spoke in an especially humble and cautious manner.
For a moment, Han Jin remained silent, and his face looked unsightly.
I took a slight breath, as long as Han Jin himself does not cause any problems and continues to be stubborn, we should be able to leave without difficulty.
Even better, we might be able to settle things here and now?
Just talk about the philosophy recognized by Mao San Three and Han Jin?
On the surface, the philosophy is still philosophy, with no problems.
Just as I was pondering this, Wu Jinluan coughed, taking a cautious step forward.
Han Jin did not speak or show any dissatisfaction, instead, his face calmed down, indicating that he agreed with Wu Jinluan's words.
Wu Jinluan straightened his back and spoke.
The gist of what he said was that the Iron Cauldron Mountain did not intervene in the affairs of Jiuding Mountain back then, no matter what the reason. The Iron Cauldron Mountain is hard to absolve from responsibility, as it was a matter within their territory.
Moreover, Four Rules Mountain's first disciple first helped the refugees and then suffered endless torture from Iron Cauldron's traitor, leaving only one sense of his five senses. His limbs were completely paralyzed. After struggling back to the mountain to report, Four Rules Mountain treated it seriously but also suffered heavy damage.
However, the most threatening traitor in Bai Lang's cave can no longer come out. Only some of the escapees are left, and Iron Cauldron still has not cleaned up its mess.
To this day, we have eradicated the root cause of the problem from the beginning, even if Iron Cauldron is hurt by it, that's just a wound. It's not death. Four Rules Mountain has also lost realms and those who are about to become realms. The mountain gate has collapsed for decades.
If Iron Cauldron Mountain wants to deal with us using underhanded means over this matter, no matter how much we explain, Iron Cauldron Mountain will be unreasonable, repay kindness with hatred, and even be indistinguishable from a white-eyed wolf!
He, Wu Jinluan, the owner of the fairy cultivation ground, will undoubtedly spread this matter far and wide in the yin-yang realm. And Four Rules Mountain is not just one sect; the sects in the south are connected by the same breath and share a common enmity!
After Wu Jinluan finished speaking, the scene became exceptionally quiet.
To say, he really has a good way with words.
In my view, Han Jin has indeed gone too far, acting harshly, and even the purpose of his coming was to use Iron Cauldron Mountain to establish his own authority.
After Wu Jinluan explained, it seemed like Iron Cauldron Mountain was the one who wanted to bully us and take advantage of the situation.
At this point, He Lin'an suddenly stepped forward, his words resolute:
"And among us, we are mainly young people, risking our lives to deal with the problems of Iron Cauldron Mountain. The Deputy Watch Master Han is not young either, clearing the family's problems for you. He is already exhausted enough, and he has eaten so many Three Corpse Bugs before. Go up and ask your Watch Master and Grand Elder, can they do such things? Or can that Black Eldress?"
"To be honest, we are the benefactors of Iron Cauldron Mountain. How can we treat our benefactors like this?"
"If the immortal controls people, and the car keeps speeding on the road, what if something goes wrong?"
"You don't even show a bit of respect and expect us to continue going up the mountain?"
"I think, there's no need to go up the mountain anymore. If there's anything important, let the Watch Master of your sect appear here now and explain everything clearly. If you want to express your gratitude, you can send some things to Four Rules Mountain later."
"Okay, we'll wait at most half an hour. Four Rules Mountain is very busy, and our fairy cultivation ground is also busy, busy helping others and executing justice."
Xiang Ke and the young Taoist both looked distinctly uncomfortable, subtly bowing their heads as if feeling some guilt.
I don't know how to put it……
When the first gentleman opened his mouth, he flipped the situation upside down. With another gentleman, it becomes even more speechless. At this point, Iron Cauldron Mountain seems to be unable to say anything without being wrong?
Moreover, He Lin'an was very cunning. How could the Watch Master of Iron Cauldron Mountain possibly appear here now?
