It is not only Xiao Daoist and the few people sent by the Underworld who feel ashamed.
Their emotional control capability is far inferior to that of the gentlemen.
Only me, Han Jin, Mao You San, and a few others at the Immortal Road venue managed to keep our expressions unchanged.
The faces of those disciples and Immortal Road Taoists around us all show discomfort, uncertainty, and a sense that they shouldn't be standing here, shouldn't be encircling us, or shouldn't be using their power to intimidate others.
Wu Jinluan and He Lin'an on the front of the White Osmanthus, her face is slightly green red, silent as if with a breath.
"Don't let such things happen again. Even if the old fox used the wrong method to invite people, if there is nothing more to say, the Abbot of Tiecha Mountain doesn't intend to come, then we will have to leave." He Lin'an spoke again, his tone becoming much more assertive.
The initiative has changed!
Now, even if the number of people here is large and they are blocking us, it means something completely different.
As long as Han Jin does not go up the mountain proactively, if we want to leave, they will be at a loss for what to do. And if they resort to force, morally, they will not be able to cross that line.
Whether it is a real showdown or the condemnation and criticism from the Yin-Yang Court, Tiecha Mountain cannot bear such a burden.
"Haha."
Suddenly, a man in the crowd started laughing, covering his mouth and nose, assuming an imposingly delicate posture.
My face slightly changed.
Wu Jinluan also changed his expression.
"Reversing roles? I really want to knock open your heads and see what's inside." The gentleman still narrowed his eyes and smiled, giving the impression that his eyes were like those of a fox charm.
At this moment, without exception, some other gentlemen in the crowd also slightly shook their bodies, with a tense and shocked expression in their eyes. It's as if something has happened to them, but they can't say anything.
"The words are human-made. If you can say this, you can say that. In front of the Hu family, what are you playing with? I've eaten so many intestines that I could strangle you to death a hundred and eighty times."
The gentleman raised his hand, with an especially weak and graceful motion, pointing at He Lin'an.
"You..." He Lin'an's face slightly changed. Finally, a hint of fear and confusion appeared on his face.
Wu Jinluan was holding a grim face, ready to speak.
Suddenly, I felt an uncomfortable sensation surge upon me!
Something has climbed up my waist!
Suddenly, I twisted my head around, only to find that the fox spirit that was confronting me had an elongated and slit-like pair of eyes that were incredibly demonic and hypnotizing. This time, instead of seeing Xiao Yan's face, it seemed as though I was seeing my own face? The image kept repeating and overlapping... as if my mind began to blur, buzzing in my ears, and my body was about to lose control...
Not only that, I caught a glimpse with the corner of my eye and saw that everyone's bodies had been overtaken by a fox spirit, without exception.
It is a double-tailed old fox that is dealing with Han Jin, and its tail is flapping the most fiercely!
Coldness is rising. They are going to "invite" us up the mountain in this way!
I want to recite a spell, but I can't even do that now.
However, my hand is still moving. I instantly formed a palm-held lightning bolt and sent it flying towards the front door!
There were pounding thuds mixed with whimpering cries. The white-haired fox fell off me, fleeing in disgrace, its body still smelling slightly burnt.
A sense of fear came over me instantly.
These things are incredibly hard to guard against.
And their speed is too fast, too cunning. Daoists are better off as they are agile and those who can use lightning laws can still restrain them. Those who cannot unleash lightning laws instantly will be at a disadvantage.
Because their movements are even faster...
It can be seen from the two thin wolf spirit mediums.
Those with insufficient strength cannot even use their magic.
Thoughts were racing in an instant. I was just about to use another palm-heart lightning strike to fly away the other fox spirits.
But the others couldn't resist as long as I did; almost all of them were affected.
And those fox spirits were directly hidden behind them, no longer revealing their fox tails.
Of course, Han Jin and Mao You San would not be affected.
The double-tailed old fox that was controlling Han Jin fled down, and Han Jin reached out in vain, his face almost bursting with anger.
Mao You San looked at the fox spirit on his shoulder and smiled, turning his head slightly, as if he were watching it for its abilities.
In the next instant, Wu Jinluan and the others directly headed in the direction of Bai Zhi!
Bai Zhi watched us with an extremely solemn and tense expression, her gaze solidifying as if she believed that controlling others would ensure we couldn't escape.
This is almost a face-off.
But they didn't let things escalate to a complete confrontation.
At this moment, Mao You San suddenly moved. He raised his hand, holding a bell in his palm. With a slight release, the bell was securely held between his three fingers, and he swung it with force.
The sound was initially clear and ear-piercing, followed by a sharp pain in my head, and then everything turned black. The feeling was identical to that in the White Wolf Cave.
When my vision recovered, all the disciples and medium Taoists had retreated about ten meters.
Wu Jinluan and the others stumbled and leaned against a spot, having regained their senses!
Only Han Jin was unaffected. He quietly looked at Bai Zhi, his eyes cold and ruthless.
The action was just a matter of timing!
"You... can leave..." Bai Zhi said in a hoarse voice, her face flashing a hint of despondency and an unhidden doubt.
At the moment, Han Jin has not yet revealed his true strength. She is afraid not of Han Jin, but of Mao You San.
"Then let's go. The banquet at Hongmen is not interesting." Mao You San smiled and looked at Wu Jinluan and the others.
The few of them were in a hurry to get on the car, the previous incident always leaving them unable to be completely calm.
I also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mao You San did not want to offend Han Jin, so he only put on a show. Fortunately, Han Jin gave in and did not continue to be stubborn, so Mao You San smoothly solved our dilemma and allowed us to leave.
Adding Wu Jinluan and He Lin'an's words, Tiecha Mountain is unlikely to continue to cause trouble for us.
We have to bear this silent loss.
And they didn't really lose too much either.
"Before you leave, you must leave the bodies of the old gentlemen in the White Wolf Cave, as well as the bodies of those three traitors!" Bai Zhi spoke again, her expression very resolute.
"So it's not for Liu Tai Xuan?" Mao You San pondered, his smile becoming even more prominent.
"Orphans without supervision are like wild herbs. Whoever manages them or collects them is theirs. Tiecha Mountain just sits there and does it, and now wants the bodies? Why didn't you go get them back in the past? They were cleanly disposed of, each one quietly at rest, very stable." Mao You San's tone had become unpleasant to hear.
"We've done the job, I've exerted my strength. Now you want to reap the fruits?"
"Taking my Mao You San's fruit is equivalent to, doing business with me, taking advantage of me, and then breaking the agreement."
"I am angry."
Mao You San said this with a smile on his face.
But his smile looked quite eerie, as if he had touched a sore spot, and the expression in his eyes was terrifyingly empty, as if at that moment, he was a corpse without even a soul.
Bai Zhi stood there, motionless and dazed.
She seemed to be intimidated by Mao You San and didn't dare to say a word more!
Is it just a simple intimidation?
I'm not sure...
I only know that I've been having goosebumps all over my body, and I can't help but continue to sweat...
Since Bai Zhi did not react, Mao You San also did not respond. He did not advance. The disciples and medium Taoists also did not show any abnormal behavior. They were all equally bewildered.
"Don't come bothering me again, or I'll come after Tiecha Mountain myself."
"Not the hunting path." Mao You San suddenly spoke coldly.
At this moment, he returned to normal again, as if the feeling I had earlier was just an illusion.
Bai Zhi's body trembled like chaff, and she knelt down, trembling continuously with an extraordinary fear. She clutched her chest with both hands, unable to stop her shivering.
"Mm?" Mao You San's tone slightly changed.
"Yes... I'm sorry... I... I understand now..." Bai Zhi's face was even paler, and she lowered her head, too afraid to look up.
"That's the right attitude, huh? Haha, monks discuss right and wrong, and gentlemen are the same, but they even more believe in reason."
"Weren't we going to get something strange like a Taoist family suddenly appear on our car?"
"No... No..." Bai Zhi replied, as if she was extraordinarily painful at that moment. She put her hand over her head and breathed heavily. Although she wasn't particularly old, in that instant, she looked as if she was aging rapidly like an old person with a dying flame, ready to collapse at any moment...
"That's good. If we see it again, it'll just be something that grew naturally and nobody cares about. We've been traveling a lot recently, and we haven't had much meat. Haha, if there are any more who don't know their place, we'll have to open our appetites." Mao You San said, not looking at anyone in the scene. He gestured with his hand towards Han Jin and said, "Vice Abbot Han, get on the car."
During this whole period, Han Jin stared deeply at Mao You San, but like him, he couldn't help but have a sense of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand what Mao You San had done.
I know, he must have done something!
But, what exactly was his method?
Bai Zhi, how could you be so painful?
Soul wound?
Mao You San's clapper was a soul-wounding technique, capable of harming both human souls and those of immortals. But earlier, Mao You San hadn't used any magical artifacts, had he?
Everyone returned to the car and Kuo started the engine.
Everyone looked at Mao You San with a strange expression that they couldn't describe.
"Haha, if the car hadn't been going too fast earlier, just as I told Xian Sheng, it would have been easy to drive away that old fox. But since the car couldn't stop, we had to force our way out, or else the car would be destroyed and we would lose our lives. Mr. Wu, I'm not afraid, Han Vice Abbot isn't afraid either, and no one else is either, including you, Xian Sheng. It's hard for any of us to escape to a higher realm."
"Let's just see what they're hiding. I didn't expect it to be aimed at me."
Mao You San remained indifferent and smiled cheerfully.
But now everyone knows that his smile is also an expression of anger!
"The old woman fell down... She just stood up and fell..." The little Taoist in the front seat suddenly shouted.
This made many people in the car turn their heads to look, as this place was not yet on the national highway. Earlier, Xiao Qu had been scared, and his speed couldn't be increased.
As expected, Bai Zhi was lying straight on the ground, with a white-furred hedgehog sticking out of her chest, crawling on top of her head, doing something unknown.
All the disciples and medium Taoists in the field raised their heads and stared at our departing car with dead eyes.
