Besides, the bat had already flown in. It was best not to say too much about uncertain matters.
Li Banfeng grabbed the bat-like man. Using the montum of the man’s charge, Li Banfeng threw him directly into the Portable Residence.
Is this man the mastermind? It seems he’s not the only one.
Following the bat-like man, a python climbed up. Li Banfeng grabbed it and tossed it into the Portable Residence as well.
After the python ca a stag beetle. This beetle was formidable, attacking fast and ruthlessly; its pincers nearly injured Li Banfeng.
The Tang Sword erged to help, impaling the stag beetle and sending it into the Portable Residence.
Li Banfeng said, "With a fierce battle at hand, won’t you stay a bit longer?"
"My lord, I’m busy. I’ll co back to help you in a bit."
He truly was busy. Everything inside the Portable Residence was chaotic.
"Wicked woman, are you done eating yet? They’re all waiting!"
"Hold that beetle down first! I haven’t finished eating this bat."
"You’re always so difficult, insisting on eating them alive!"
Then ca two centipedes, each over ten ters long. Li Banfeng called out, "Line up properly! Maintain order!"
After the centipedes, a piece of Bamboo showed up.
Is this Bamboo or a Bamboo Joint Worm? Forget it, I’ll let my wife figure it out. Next!
Hong Ying shouted loudly from inside the house, "Wicked woman, eat faster! We can’t fit anymore inside!"
Twenty-five Strange Monsters had entered. Eighteen had gone in, and not one had co out.
A Wandering Monster covered in vines said to the Playful Matron, "Did you freaking pick the wrong place?"
The Playful Matron shook her head repeatedly. "The place can’t be wrong. It’s definitely here."
I can’t admit it. I absolutely can’t admit it!
Another Wandering Monster, dressed like a Cook, spoke in a low voice, "It seems we’ve walked into an ambush."
The two hired Wandering Monsters knew sothing was wrong. Without even turning their heads, they turned and left.
When they left, the other Strange Monsters also wanted to follow, all rushing toward the cave entrance. But it was too late.
ng Yuchun was still waiting inside her residence.
Now, she stepped out of the residence, leaped down the cliff face, and clenched her fists.
A Light Halo rose at the mouth of the cave. The Cook at the front hastily retracted his foot.
A rooster behind him couldn’t stop in ti and ran straight into the Light Halo, leaving not even a feather behind.
The Strange Monsters fell into a panic. Then they saw ng Yuchun slowly erging from the cave, her expression fierce as she asked, "Who sent you here?"
The Vine Monster replied, "It was... it was Mountain-Uprooting Master..."
In such a situation, there’s no point in resisting.
ng Yuchun shouted angrily, "Who is Mountain-Uprooting Master?"
How could they answer that? Mountain-Uprooting Master is her neighbor, the Local Deity from the adjacent territory. ng Yuchun doesn’t even know this.
ng Yuchun truly didn’t know. Since becoming a Local Deity, she had never left her territory.
At this mont, Mountain-Uprooting Master was standing on the hillside, waiting for news from inside the cave.
The Wandering Monster dressed as a Cook took out a pair of iron spatulas and CLANGED them together twice.
The Vine Monster looked at the Cook in astonishnt. Those two clangs an they’ve succeeded. Is the current situation considered a success? It seems so. At least they lured ng Yuchun out of her residence.
Upon hearing the sound of the spatulas, Mountain-Uprooting Master floated into the cave.
Her original plan was to take advantage of the chaos in the cave to sneak into ng Yuchun’s residence, kill the House Spirit, and then dig up the Contract Book.
Not far into the rugged cave, Mountain-Uprooting Master saw a Light Halo in front of her and realized sothing was amiss.
Mountain-Uprooting Master turned to leave, but ng Yuchun roared. Near the entrance of the cave, another Light Halo surged.
Outside the cave entrance, ten ters away, another Light Halo appeared.
Light Halo after Light Halo, stacked layer upon layer.
Ho Cultivation Technique: Close Doors and Shut Windows!
Mountain-Uprooting Master was trapped.
"Bastard, why are you harming ?" ng Yuchun spat at Mountain-Uprooting Master. Within the cave, thousands of dewdrops scattered in all directions.
The dewdrops hit the group of Strange Monsters, causing blood to spray. The lower-tier Strange Monsters were riddled with holes and died on the spot.
The higher-tier Strange Monsters dodged and parried but were all injured.
A Water Cultivation Technique? Is ng Yuchun a high-level Water Cultivator?
The Cook, a Wandering Monster, quickly realized ng Yuchun was not a Water Cultivator; her House Spirit was. This was the Ho Cultivation technique known as the Deep House Technique.
He took out two large ladles to shield his body and hid in a corner, not daring to move.
The dewdrops passed through Mountain-Uprooting Master, forcing her, who had maintained a Ghost Fire form, to reveal her true appearance.
ng Yuchun stared at Mountain-Uprooting Master for a mont, her appearance sowhat unexpected.
With a na like Mountain-Uprooting Master, one would expect a powerful man capable of uprooting mountains.
But the figure before them was an old woman: white-haired, hunched over, and leaning on a cane.
Her face was full of wrinkles and various spots, giving the impression that her ti was quickly running out.
"Why harm ?" ng Yuchun asked sternly.
Without replying, Mountain-Uprooting Master jabbed her cane into the ground. Boulders from the cave flew up and hurtled toward ng Yuchun.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The rocks shattered upon impact, and the ensuing dust cloud obscured ng Yuchun’s form.
When the dust settled, ng Yuchun wiped the rock debris from herself. Unhard, she looked at Mountain-Uprooting Master.
Ho Cultivation Technique: Benevolent and Righteous.
Trying to retreat, Mountain-Uprooting Master found the Light Halo advancing behind her, pressing closer.
ng Yuchun spat at Mountain-Uprooting Master again. A water giant, over ten ters tall, slowly advanced toward her.
Li Banfeng listened to the commotion in the cave, gauging the battle outside.
This level of combat is clearly not sothing I can get involved in. I should go back to the Portable Residence. But if I return to the Portable Residence now and leave the key in this cave, it doesn’t seem very safe. If ng Yuchun wins, all is well. If ng Yuchun loses, I’ll have to find a way out.
He decided to observe the situation a little longer. The noises outside grew louder, and the Silk-pulling Earrings trembled incessantly beside his ear.
"Master, let’s go back! I’m scared."
"Being scared is one thing, but don’t you dare wet yourself! If you pee in my ear, I swear I won’t forgive you!"
After more than a dozen exchanges, Mountain-Uprooting Master was covered in wounds, still leaning on her cane.
Though old, had they fought elsewhere, Mountain-Uprooting Master might not necessarily have been at a disadvantage against ng Yuchun.
But this was ng Yuchun’s territory, and so close to her residence. A Ho Cultivator held a significant advantage on their ho ground.
Now, I can neither flee nor win. Is there any way out? Negotiate with ng Yuchun? There’s no room for negotiation. While I still have so strength left, I have to take a gamble!
Mountain-Uprooting Master looked toward the Playful Matron.
The Playful Matron, covered in blood, glanced at the cliff face.
This was to tell Mountain-Uprooting Master that ng Yuchun’s residence was on that cliff face; that was all she could do to help now.
Mountain-Uprooting Master calculated her remaining power.
Breaking through the barrier in front would cost thirty percent of my remaining power. After breaking into the residence, killing the House Spirit would consu another seventy percent. This is assuming the House Spirit is far weaker than ng Yuchun. With my last breath, I would have to quickly locate the Contract Book and use it to threaten ng Yuchun.
Calculating the entire sequence, the probability of success was minuscule.
Should I gamble?
Li Banfeng, listening in the cave, noticed the outside had suddenly quieted down a bit.
Silence is not a good sign; it likely ans both sides are preparing a decisive blow.
He opened the door of the Portable Residence. Inside was chaos, with Magical Treasures scrambling for food as Hong Ying urged the Phonograph to eat faster.
The Phonograph couldn’t eat anymore. It made a sound like gongs and drums and sang in a sweet, affected voice, "Oh my, why are there so many?"
On the battlefield, Mountain-Uprooting Master made up her mind and charged directly at the Light Halo.
She had no choice but to gamble.
There was only one Light Halo in front of her. Seven more Light Halos were closing in from behind.
If those seven Light Halos washed over her, Mountain-Uprooting Master would have absolutely no chance of survival.
The Light Halo swept over the old woman’s body, stripping off a layer of her skin!
Her charge startled ng Yuchun; this old woman was truly desperate, risking her life.
So, she’s not afraid to die? Good, I’ll grant her wish!
Just as ng Yuchun was about to make a move, she saw the old woman wasn’t heading toward her but directly toward the cave on the cliff face.
Not good! Li Qi! That’s the cave Li Qi is in!
Li Banfeng had just entered and thrown the key out when suddenly a mass of bloodied flesh hurtled right toward him.
BANG!
That collision sent Li Banfeng flying against the wall.
Mountain-Uprooting Master looked around the room, searching for the House Spirit.
Hearing the noise, Hong Ying asked, "What is this thing?"
Li Banfeng climbed up from the ground, gasping with difficulty, "Yeah, what is this thing?"
None of the Magical Treasures said a word.
The Phonograph burped and said, "Oh, husband, I’m really going to get fat this ti."
PS: The Phonograph has gotten fatter; she’ll need more motor oil!
