Chapter 3045: Chapter 1574: Half a Life in Stealth, Nameless, Suddenly Tailoring Reveals True Form_3
Xu Xiaoshou remained silent for quite a long time before he finally let out a slightly hesitant voice:
“Ah?”
That single “Ah” aptly captured the feelings of everyone present, except for Hallmaster Dao.
Even Bai Zhou could see that Xu Xiaoshou had just made a little joke…
No one expected it!
The targeted one had become a Water Ghost.
After the spatial displacement, where Hallmaster Dao should have taken the place of the Water Ghost, there appeared Elder Dao the Flamboyant’s second layer of defense—the Cutting Path stage.
And the real sensitive-skinned Hallmaster Dao, it’s uncertain whether he was ready with a counterattack, had cleared out the onlookers and had gone up high on guard!
“I…”
Xu Xiaoshou’s mouth moved with restrained amusement, his face becoming so taut and aching with stiffness, that he eventually had to use “Transformation” to control himself.
He told himself countless times: Keep it cool! Can’t laugh! Laughing now could really get someone killed!
He was about to say “I was just joking,” but Xu Xiaoshou quickly swallowed those words…
No way!
Dao Baobao was too sensitive now!
Saying that now would be like agitating him and, from his perspective, would sound mostly like ridicule and mockery…
Silence is golden.
Xu Xiaoshou, maintain the silence.
Let the awkwardness soar for a while, Dao Baobao will know it was a joke, he won’t get angry, for sure!
…
Dead silence.
As if it lasted for an entire century.
“What happened?”
That was the only question left in the minds of those present.
Cen Qiaofu tried to connect with Sleeveless through their saint’s will but received a “don’t speak” response.
He silently followed Sleeveless back to Xu Xiaoshou’s side, not asking about who was taken away or what exactly had happened in that moment.
After Bai Zhou returned, his curiosity was boundless, but he dared not speak a word.
He didn’t even dare to glance at Hallmaster Dao, fearing that looking at him might cause him to burst out laughing.
He had roughly figured out what kind of situation they were in.
The only one who got a finger poked into their nostril, the “concerned party” Water Ghost, was now left with only a heart’s cry of powerless wailing:
“Why?”
“Why do I always have to get hurt along with everything else?”
The strange atmosphere continued for a while, and the silence only amplified the growing awkwardness—it didn’t subside but became even more intense.
No one spoke.
Until everyone gathered around Xu Xiaoshou once more, Hallmaster Dao disappeared with a whoosh and arrived next to them, but he kept a distance of three paces.
No longer close…
Xu Xiaoshou could clearly feel that the warm relationship of mutual calling “my Xu” and “my Dao” between him and the sensitive-skinned one was no longer there.
“He won’t let this go.”
Hallmaster Dao, with hands clasped behind his back, walked expressionlessly to the front of the group, taking the initiative to break the silence.
No one said a word.
Elder Sang looked at Water Ghost, who was clearing his nostrils, Cen Qiaofu nudged Xu Xiaoshou with his elbow to prompt him to follow up, and ended up getting stabbed and bleeding.
“Mm!”
Xu Xiaoshou gave a pronounced nasal sound to indicate he was listening.
This allowed Hallmaster Dao to continue in a demeanor that was as calm as a light breeze:
“The Cursed Yin Evil God has revived; the Di Ying Holy Plant has been prepared as His contingency plan, and previously even the act of extending branches into the Lower Realm was revealed…”
“After you provoked Him, He will only become more aggressive, and He will not hold back.”
Extending branches into the Lower Realm… Xu Xiaoshou’s lips suddenly curled up but he suppressed them with all his might.
It’s so hard!
Even when Dao Baobao was talking, there was a strong flavor that teased the urge to laugh.
“Mm!”
“We only have two choices left, one, to actively summon the Reincarnation Heavenly Pillar, ascend to the Thirty Three Heavens, and battle Him.”
“Mm!”
“Two, to return to the First Heavens. He will come to this place again, and we will leave the battlefield to Him and the Holy Divine Palace.”
“Mm!”
Xu Xiaoshou timely responded.
He didn’t dare to speak now, just blindly “Mmmed” to get it over with.
Hallmaster Dao looked as if he was about to turn around and pretend to be something, but he forcefully restrained himself.
He stopped talking.
“Boom!”
In the distance, there was a sudden explosion.
In the ravine, the great array already damaged by back-to-back battles, was detonated casually by Hallmaster Dao Qiong Cang with some unknown powerful method.
In the midst of it, a plaque was revealed.
“Fate Temple…”
All spiritual senses and saint’s will swept over, everyone mutely recited the name in their hearts, but no one dared to utter it aloud.
“The God-Slaying Token bears my mark, Yue Gongli has already delved deep within this plaque…”
“Hmm!”
You are right, Yue Gongli is inside, and the location pointed by the Ancestral God Ranking is also this plaque.
“My suggestion is that we return to the Lower Realm, and only link the aura of your Ultimate Giant to this plaque, the Di Ying Saint’s and the Cursed Yin Evil God will find them.”
“Hmm!”
Great, great, Dao Baobao, you’re masterful at drawing disaster eastwards—your ability to pit your old boss is unmatched.
But Yue Gongli, Hua Yuan, and even the Wangze Holy Emperor, whose whereabouts are unknown, seems like you’re not keeping any sentiment for any of them.
Do you really want them to die?
Xu Xiaoshou was too curious, but dared not utter all his thoughts for fear of breaking the eerie ambiance that was present.
“…”
After waiting a while, Hallmaster Dao didn’t speak.
Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback and hastily smeared the aura of the Ultimate Giant onto the plaque.
“When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman reaps the profit.”
Hallmaster Dao, as if a switch had been triggered, started walking towards the distance, his voice also kicked in:
“We will go directly to the position of the Reincarnation Heavenly Pillar and from there descend to the First Heavens.”
“The Wangze Holy Emperor and Yue Gongli will block the first wave of attack for us, and when both sides show signs of weariness, we can enter the scene and clean up the aftermath.”
Alright, alright…
You are correct!
Xu Xiaoshou subconsciously wanted to give another “Hmm,” but then remembered, the God has chased Di Ying Saint up to the Thirty Three Heavens.
Hallmaster Dao Qiong Cang, it seems you had not taken that into account?
Could it be, in the awkwardness, he had made a miscalculation!
WTF…Xu Xiaoshou suddenly couldn’t utter “Hmm” anymore.
Hesitating between “remind him a little” and “you better shut your mouth,” he followed Hallmaster Dao for quite a while without being able to respond.
Hallmaster Dao was calm and tranquil in demeanor, not the slightest bit of the restlessness that waiting should entail.
But hesitation itself was irritating!
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt an itch in his brow, he wasn’t someone who could easily endure, and unconsciously reached out to scratch the itch.
No sooner had he lifted his hand…
Up ahead, Hallmaster Dao’s body tensed up suddenly, as straight as a javelin.
This is bad!!!
Xu Xiaoshou’s pupils trembled, and, as he forcefully tried to lower his own hand, he realized it was too late.
That damned hand had already raised to waist level, the index finger just happened to be pointing at Hallmaster Dao…
“Locked-on, Passive Points, +1.”
“Controlled, Passive Points, +1.”
“Hallucinated, Passive Points, +1.”
“Restriction, Passive Points, +1.”
“Ambushed, Passive Points, +1.”
“…”
The Information Bar, in an instant, popped up with at least a dozen messages.
“No!”
Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t even get a chance to express his “I didn’t mean it that way” intention when suddenly, he felt the world had changed.
He entered into a virtual world filled with divine path patterns, and recovering his wits quickly, he noticed Elder Sang, Water Ghost, and others far away in shock exclaimed:
“Be careful!”
Space ripped and air twisted, morphing forms, countless eyes sparkling with tiny lights emerged without warning.
After that, tens of thousands of divine Puppets crawled out from the spatial fragment, forming a tight encirclement, each of them with a cannon on a shoulder, their chests storing a beam of light, squarely locking onto Xu Xiaoshou.
Hallmaster Dao turned around abruptly, his eyes nearly splitting with fury.
His clothes in front of his chest ripped and hardened into close-fitting armor, his chest caved in to form a circular hollow, out of which a jade white hand quickly reached through.
The hand crossed through the Way of the Heavens, and when it reappeared, it was clasping tightly onto Xu Xiaoshou’s neck from behind.
The moment he was touched, Xu Xiaoshou’s soul plunged into freezing abyss, his whole being went blank for an instant.
With a fierce pull of the jade white hand.
Xu Xiaoshou’s face pressed against his as he broke through the spatial fragment, shoved in front of Hallmaster Dao.
“No, I was just…”
Before he could finish speaking, the image of Hallmaster Dao before his eyes flickered, as if it were a phantom.
From beyond the Nine Heavens, behind him, a giant image of Hallmaster Dao Qiong Cang cracked through the sky, stepping on the Celestial Scroll, with the Divine Sinan above his head, one hand pointing to the sky, the other to the earth.
Thunderous roars, under the wrathful expression of that Saint Statue, boomed as if heralding the end of the world, shocking to both ears and eyes:
“Xu Xiaoshou, try pointing at me again?!”
