C580 – Luo Hou Attacked
“Boom!”
The little wooden sword wielded by the dog exerted all its might, shattering the azure Qilin’s form instantly.
Desperation filled the azure Qilin’s gaze.
“Rumble!”
The Great Dao crumbled, and a deluge of crimson blood cascaded from the heavens, painting the entire sky in a blood-red hue.
“Uncle Dog, give it your all!”
“Kill him!”
Taoist Immortal Jiang and their companions cheered with fervor.
“Ai!”
A gentle sigh suddenly echoed through the firmament.
Almost simultaneously with the utterance of that voice, a hand materialized, reaching out in that direction.
In that moment, the world underwent a dramatic transformation. A rain of blood fell, obliterating countless human experts and other spectator races that had gathered to witness the battle.
……
Chaotic Battlefield, Great Heaven Sect.
The elderly man abruptly rose from his seat, his eyes brimming with enthusiasm.
“Are you finally prepared to confront me?”
“I’ve undertaken numerous actions to compel your appearance. Yet, it appears I’ve been mistaken. Your concern for the Human Clan isn’t as profound as I believed.”
“While you’ve stated that the Human Clan holds great importance, it seems it’s not the entire clan but a specific individual within it.”
“Is it Senior Zhang Hao? Is he the individual you’re referring to, Senior Zhang Hao?”
“Regrettably, he lacks the courage to reveal himself. Only his son, Zhang Xuan, has stepped into the public eye.”
“Is your intention now to coerce Senior Zhang Hao into revealing himself?”
“Never mind that. What does this matter to me? My opportunity to establish my worth has arrived. By eliminating you, I’ll seize the chance to ascend to supremacy!”
“Since Wutian is reluctant to manifest, I, Luo Hou, shall personally issue a challenge!”
As the elderly man conveyed this, his slightly stooped figure abruptly straightened, and he commenced a deliberate departure.
The instant he raised his foot, a passageway materialized. He turned back, casting a final gaze at the familiar hall, then resolutely stepped into the corridor.
……
Sun City.
Sloppy Old Man and Zhang Tiangang stood up abruptly.
“It’s him! He actually attacked!”
“Could it be that he really wants to stand together with Yin Tianzi?”
“If that’s the case, will there still be a viable solution for our Human Clan?”
The countenances of the two elderly men turned somber, their gazes lost in the boundless void.
Yet, an impenetrable energy obstructed their vision, preventing them from perceiving anything.
Both of them were aware that this presence was the one who had sensed their presence and deliberately obscured their view.
“What course of action do you suggest?” Zhang Tiangang inquired of Sloppy Old Man.
“Old Zhang, speaking of which… Old Ancestor Zhang Hao, is he still among the living?” Sloppy Old Man didn’t respond directly to Zhang Tiangang’s query but expressed his curiosity.
“You’re asking me? Who else can I ask?”
Zhang Tiangang shot a sidelong glance at Sloppy Old Man, his expression suddenly shifting.
“Old man, you’re inquiring about my ancestor. What’s your intention?”
Sloppy Old Man sighed and retorted with a hint of disdain, “Put aside those impure thoughts for now. Right now, Yin Tianzi and his accomplice are gearing up to confront us. In the Human Clan, there are but a handful of individuals who can withstand two exchanges against them!”
“Elder Zhang Hao, Wutian, and Luo Hou!”
“Wutian is no longer with us, and Luo Hou is fixated on gaining the approval of that individual. Currently, the sole guardian of the Human Clan is Elder Zhang Hao. Let me inquire, is there any issue with that?”
“Aren’t you a bit overly sensitive? A persecution complex, perhaps? Do you always interpret the actions of others as an attempt to persecute you?”
Zhang Tiangang was taken aback by this comment, feeling somewhat uneasy. He quickly changed the subject, stating, “Given that this person doesn’t wish to meet us, we should pay him a visit.”
Sloppy Old Man inquired, “Aren’t you concerned that he might pose a threat to you on the way there?”
He then shifted his tone abruptly, adding with a hint of mystery, “Old Zhang, I’m uncertain. It’s possible that this individual might actually target you to provoke Elder Zhang Hao’s involvement!”
“Within the Zhang family, you are unmatched, possessing the capability to contend with him. However, once you depart from this place, I’ll thrash you until your teeth litter the ground. Are you absolutely sure you want to proceed with this?”
Zhang Tiangang, upon hearing this, exclaimed, “You, you sly dog! Can’t you be more tactful? You’ve embarrassed me!”
Sloppy Old Man sighed. “At our age, why concern yourself with appearances? Look at the present society. If we prioritize appearances, do we even have a spot on the bus? Observe regular folks; they comprehend. As long as you can earn a living, who cares about appearances!”
“Enough, stop diverting from the issue. You and I are the patriarchs of two major clans, guardians of their legacies. Are you really considering competing with a young man for a seat now?” Zhang Tiangang regarded Sloppy Old Man with exasperation.
Abruptly, he halted in his thoughts. This elderly individual could genuinely vie for the position!
“Zhang Xuan’s canine companion appears to have significantly bolstered its prowess. It’s as if it feasted on remarkable nourishment and flourished!” The Sloppy Old Man commented with a sense of bewilderment.
“That Qihuang dog is simply putting on an act. He fell for that man’s deception and even slaughtered his own kin. Now that he’s being thrashed, it’s only natural for him to act this way!”
“Nevertheless, the potency exhibited by Zhang Xuan’s canine ally is indeed rather peculiar. Despite being merely at the Monarch Stage, it wields such formidable might that even a pinnacle Heavenly King might struggle against it!”
As Zhang Tiangang brought up the dog, a look of contempt crossed his face.
“Zhang Xuan has ventured into the Burial World. I wonder if he’ll manage to return in time!”
When hearing the Sloppy Old Man’s statement, Zhang Tiangang was momentarily taken aback and then spoke suddenly:
“I hope he doesn’t return. Despite the enigmatic nature of his strength, based on the previous clash, there appears to be a significant disparity in power between him and that individual.”
“Not necessarily. Didn’t you notice that the person only targeted the dog and not Zhang Xuan himself? He isn’t the type to leave loose ends!” the Sloppy Old Man asserted.
Zhang Tiangang was startled by this revelation and inquired hesitantly, “You mean…”
Sloppy Old Man speculated, “In the eyes of that individual, Zhang Xuan’s standing might surpass even that of Old Ancestor Zhang Hao…”
“That sounds utterly implausible! It can’t be true!”
Zhang Tiangang countered before Sloppy Old Man could complete his thought.
Sloppy Old Man refrained from arguing. He understood that Zhang Tiangang had formed his own opinion on the matter. He had full confidence in his own conjecture.
The enigmatic figure had remained inactive for a considerable duration. These two attacks were evidently connected to Zhang Xuan. If Zhang Xuan held no significance, that person wouldn’t dare to take such actions!
“Enough of these speculations. What course of action should we pursue?” As Sloppy Old Man spoke, his countenance abruptly froze. He even momentarily forgot to breathe. His eyes widened as if he had traversed time and space to peer into a specific location.
Right there, a spatial-temporal gateway materialized, and an elderly man steadily advanced step by step.
“What’s the matter with you? Did you lose your wits out of fright?” Zhang Tiangang teased, gazing at Sloppy Old Man. Then, his eyes froze in astonishment as he looked in the same direction.
“It’s Luo Hou. This fellow is about to…”
Zhang Tiangang stared blankly for a moment, then erupted, “Impressive! Truly impressive, my elder brother Luo Hou!”
