Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin

Chapter 275: Announce to the Gods of Heaven and Earth! [Seeking monthly votes]

"Xiao Cao, does the current head of the Liu family know my mother?"

Liu Bai asked deep in his heart.

Xiao Cao was silent for a long time before she spoke, her voice was a little low, "This Liu Zong is a later generation. When the queen left, he was not even born yet."

"The only one in the Liu family who knows the queen is the ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Wenzhi."

Xiao Cao sneered and said disdainfully: "He was able to become a genius in the past and become the head of this family now, all thanks to the blessing of the queen."

At this moment, the grass was very indifferent and serious, without any of its previous cuteness.

Even the tone of its voice had changed a little... Liu Bai could hear its hatred towards the Liu family from its tone.

Liu Bai recalled what Deng Ying said yesterday after he found out that he had his own natal flame.

In my mother’s era, the genius of the Liu family also had a natal flame, but he was later killed by my mother.

I think the current Liu Wenzhi must have come to power after my mother killed that man.

"At that time, Liu Wenzhi could only be ranked outside the top five among the younger generation of the Liu family."

"Ok?"

Liu Bai originally thought that Liu Wenzhi would at most be ranked third, but now...

"Didn't Liu Wenzhi take over after my mother killed the genius who possessed the Flame of Destiny?"

"Oh, you mean that Liu Yuan, right? Even if he died, it wouldn't be Liu Wenzhi's turn. There are still a few people with good talents among them."

"Then how come it's his turn in the end?"

When Liu Bai asked this question, he had already guessed something in his heart.

"Because the others were killed by the queen."

Xiaocao only explained this sentence, but it made Liu Bai certain of the answer in his heart.

He was curious about what happened between his mother and the Liu family that led to these things...

But just when he was about to ask, the grass deep in his heart started to roll around.

"Oh, sir, please don't ask. Xiaocao doesn't know either. Xiaocao has said enough today. If you ask again, the Queen will beat Xiaocao to death."

Seeing Xiaocao's mentality recover, Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

At the right time, Deng Heitian brought Liu Bai to a yard at the northernmost end of the town.

Before Deng Heitian could knock on the door, the courtyard gate was opened from the inside.

This made Deng Heitian, who was raising his right hand, feel... a little embarrassed.

Logically speaking, even if you sense someone coming, you will wait for the other person to knock before opening the door.

How could anyone be so rude as the Liu family, and the other party is the head of one of the nine major families!

"So this is what the strongest of the nine families does?"

Liu Bai seemed to understand why his mother had done that back then, but on second thought, it was unlikely.

My mother was also a member of the Liu family. In other words, she was also a vested interest.

Liu Bai couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped thinking about it.

He looked up at the right time and saw a young woman in a blue shirt walking out from behind the door.

He looks to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, which makes him one of the older ones among the geniuses of these nine families.

Her chest was tall and straight, quite like Aunt Huang's daughter Zhu Yan.

She had beautiful facial features, but her face was extremely cold, as if she had no emotions at all.

Even when he looked at Deng Heitian, he was like this and just nodded lightly.

"Master Deng, come in."

Liu Bai naturally followed Deng Heitian into the yard.

In the courtyard, there sat a gaunt man, wearing the same blue shirt, with gray hair and high cheekbones. He looked like someone who was not easy to get along with.

Come to think of it, the head of the Liu family is already one of the top few people in the human race.

It's normal to have a bit of temper.

"Master Deng, please sit down."

Liu Zong didn't stand up either, but just gestured to the seat next to him with his eyes.

They were the only two people with seats there.

Liu Bai and Liu Ruzhi both have no place.

But when he arrived here and met the Liu family, Liu Bai didn't feel anything different.

He thought there would be some kind of blood connection, and they would be able to know each other's identities as long as they were close.

Deng Heitian had just sat down when Liu Zong said, "Is this the new genius that your Deng family has found?"

"Exactly."

Deng Heitian nodded slightly, no longer having the natural attitude he had in front of the other family heads.

Liu Zong originally just glanced casually, but now he really set his eyes on Liu Bai.

"I heard...your name is Liu Bai?"

The words were indifferent, with a hint of a superior looking down on the inferior. Liu Bai didn't like this feeling, so he just said "hmm" and didn't even bother to nod.

Liu Zong said: "Since you have acknowledged your ancestors, you should change your surname as soon as possible and not call it Liu anymore."

"Ok?"

When Liu Bai heard this, he was so angry that he laughed. He was not stupid, so he could understand what Liu Zong meant. He was saying... Are you worthy of the surname Liu?

"The head of the family and I are not in a hurry, so why should the head of the Liu family be in a hurry?" Liu Bai said with a wry smile.

In other words, if the emperor is not in a hurry, why should the eunuch be in a hurry?
Liu Zong seemed not to have expected Liu Bai to be so bold and frowned, but before he could say anything, Liu Bai added another sentence.

"I was on my way to Chaozhou when a pear fell on my head."

What he said was incomprehensible.

Liu Ruzhi, who was standing behind Liu Zong, finally spoke after hearing this, but her tone was still just as indifferent.

"What does it have to do with us?"

When she spoke, she didn't even look at Liu Bai directly, but just looked straight ahead with a calm expression.

"Yeah, what does it have to do with you?"

Liu Bai sneered.

"you!"

Only then did Liu Ruzhi understand the meaning of Liu Bai's words, and could not help but lower her head and glare at him.

She was a young prodigy, the apple of her family's eye, and no one had ever spoken to her like this before.

Liu Zong raised his right hand slightly, and Liu Ruzhi then withdrew his gaze and turned away.

"He is a very eloquent person."

As Liu Zong spoke, he leaned back slightly, tapping the armrests with his fingers while leaning against the back of the chair.

"But children who grow up outside are more or less lacking in family education. It's normal that they don't have parents to teach them."

"I don't see how you have any parents to teach you."

"You're already old, but you're still spouting shit!"

Liu Bai blurted out in a loud voice, so after he finished speaking, the whole yard instantly became quiet.

Even Liu Zong stopped tapping the back of the chair.

It's not some kind of time-stopping technique; it's just that I was simply surprised.

But it was only a moment. After Liu Zong reacted, his face darkened, and in an instant endless pressure descended upon Liu Bai.

But it disappeared again in the next moment.

Because... Deng Heitian stood in front of Liu Bai.

"Why, Master Liu wants to go to war with my Deng family?"

Deng Heitian was big and fat, and completely blocked Liu Bai behind him.

Liu Bai no longer felt that pressure and momentum.

Liu Zong looked at Deng Heitian, who spoke seriously and did not seem to be pretending, and the two looked at each other for only a breath.

Liu Zong smiled and said, "It's just the truth. If Patriarch Deng doesn't want to listen, the door is over there."

"hehe."

Deng Heitian is the head of a family after all, so he does have some courage.

"Farewell!"

He turned around, took Liu Bai's hand, and walked towards the door. He seemed to still hear Liu Zong's sneer behind him.

Liu Bai didn’t think he said anything wrong. He just thought that you can scold me, but you can’t scold my mother.

If he could defeat him, he would even think of pinning Liu Zong to the ground and giving him a good beating.

The two of them went out, and Xiaocao's exclamation was still ringing in Liu Bai's mind.

"Sir, you are so handsome! That's how you deserve to be scolded."

"Sir, you and the queen have exactly the same temperament. The queen was like this at the time. She would not allow herself to be wronged."

"Don't worry, young master. If the Liu family dares to attack you, the queen will definitely come."

"..."

After they walked out the door, Liu Bai pulled his hand out of Deng Heitian's hand.

"Master, did I do something wrong?"

Liu Bai asked, looking up.

The two of them didn't go far, they were even right in front of the Liu family's house.

Deng Heitian did not look down this time. Instead, he half-knelt down, looked at Liu Bai straight in the eye, and said, "No, you did the right thing."

Young people, you should have your own ambition!
If you can remain indifferent to such insults at such a young age, then forget about climbing to a high place.

This is what Deng Heitian thinks. He will do his best to help this newcomer, and that will be enough.

It was still early when we came out of the Liu family.

It was not a good idea to go directly to the Huang family, as staying there for too long would be too obvious, so Liu Bai and Deng Heitian went back to rest for a while, and waited until it was getting dark before going out.

Liu Bai had already met Huang Shangguan, the prodigy of the Huang family.

It was that sloppy boy.

Originally Liu Bai thought that this was the Huang family's tradition, but when he met the head of the Huang family, he realized that he was overthinking.

Huang Yuanyin, the head of the Huang family, was tall and wore a golden robe, and always had a gentle smile on his face.

If Liu Bai didn't know his identity, he would have thought he was a prince of one of the three kingdoms in the world.

This posture is so damn similar.

Looking at Huangshangguan again, it is completely different.

After greeting each other, they chatted for a while. At the end, without Deng Heitian even saying anything, Huang Yuanyin took the initiative to smile and said:
"Liu Bai is visiting us for the first time, so don't leave tonight. Stay and taste the Butterfly Fairy Fruit of our Huang family."

Facts have proved that there are not many families with the same temper as the Liu family. The other families, even the Bai family, are still relatively friendly.

Deng Heitian said you're welcome and sat back.

Even so, Huang Yuanyin laughed even more happily.

As for Liu Bai, he was chatting with Huang Shangguan. The two of them didn't say hello and just sat down under the eaves at the door.

Compared to Lei Xu's obsessive-compulsive disorder, Sima Jing's insight into people's hearts, and Shi Shanfeng's simplicity, Liu Bai still prefers to chat with Huang Shangguan.

comfortable.

Oh, by the way, the good brother Hu Shuo is also good.

When several family heads gathered together, they naturally talked about important matters, either the current meeting or the situation in the world.

When the younger generations including Liu Bai gathered together, the topic they talked about naturally was the battle of geniuses that would be held in a few days.

"Brother Xiao Liu, you just got here, so you definitely don't know the tricks these families are playing."

"Have heard a little bit."

Liu Bai pretended to listen attentively.

Huang Shangguan hesitated for a moment, as if organizing his words, and then said: "Among us, the strongest is Liu Ruzhi, there is no doubt about that."

"That's true."

Liu Bai also knew this. No matter whether they were the geniuses in this area, or the previous generation, or even which generation, they were basically the strongest in the Liu family.

As for the reason, it is of course related to the technique mastered by the Liu family.

The technique mastered by the Liu family is called "Time Return", or to be more specific, "Time Travel Back".

Just from the literal meaning, you can tell that it is extremely powerful.

In fact it is.

Once activated, it has the terrifying ability to change the flow of time.

She can briefly rewind the time around herself, that is, if you beat her half to death, she will go back to the original place once and become intact again without any damage.

How is this played?
Therefore, no matter whether it is Tianjiao or the entire nine major families, no matter how powerful the other families are, the Liu family is the undisputed number one.

Regarding this... Liu Bai was just curious about where these magical skills of the nine great families came from.

How could there be such a horrible effect?

Even something as ethereal as time can be mastered.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the Liu family who can master this magical skill, and the rewind time is extremely short.

Otherwise, there would only be eight great families in the world.

Because the Liu family will be unique.

"The next ones are Lei Xu from the Lei family and Sima Jing from the Sima family."

"Lei Xu, you see he is honest and seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact he has already mastered the Lei family's magic - the Thunder of Entropy."

"It is said that he has reached a very high level of cultivation. Once struck by his entropy lightning, there is basically no chance of survival. Oh, by the way, except for Liu Ruzhi."

Huang Shangguan talked freely, "Sima Jing is the same. The reason why he became like this, neither human nor god, and was talking nonsense, was because he practiced the Sima family's magical art, 'Spiritual Ruins Fantasy World'."

"It is said that he once comprehended too deeply, and as a result, he could not distinguish between the real world and the fantasy world. Finally, Sima Yue, the ancestor of the Sima family, forcibly separated them, and he became like this."

After listening to Huang Shangguan's description, Liu Bai asked suddenly, "What about you?"

You always say that they are so strong, so you are no exception... Liu Bai didn't say this again.

Huang Shangguan heard Liu Bai's words and pointed at himself.

"me."

He shook his head, "Just try not to embarrass our Huang family." "Oh?"

Liu Bai did not comment. He had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He intuitively felt that the Huang Shangguan in front of him...was probably not weaker in strength than the three people he mentioned.

"On the contrary, you, Brother Xiao Liu, have never been back to the Liu family, but you are so powerful. When we meet in the Tianjiao Battle, please show mercy to me, Brother Xiao Liu."

Huang Shangguan said this while bowing to Liu Bai and speaking jokingly, as if he was bothering him.

"I'm begging you to show some mercy, Da Huang."

"Da Huang?" Huang Shangguan stroked his chin and said, "That's a good name, but it sounds weird."

"..."

Not long after, when it was getting dark, Liu Bai and the other man were called back. He looked at the four fruits on the table that looked like snow pears.

"Is this the famous Butterfly Fairy Fruit?"

"Exactly."

Huang Shangguan had already taken a step forward and started swallowing his saliva.

Huang Yuanyin calmly pushed him aside. Since there were guests present, he couldn't take the first step.

"Don't think I'm being stingy, nephew. It's just that this Butterfly Fairy Fruit... it's your first time eating it, so you'll definitely have a big dream."

Huang Yuanyin smiled and said, "If you eat one more, you will probably miss the next meeting and the Tianjiao battle."

Deng Heitian obviously also knew the benefits of the Butterfly Fairy Fruit, and immediately took over the conversation and said, "It's just a dream. How much benefit you can get depends on your own ability."

“Is there any benefit in this dream?”

This was beyond Liu Bai's expectations.

Huang Yuanyin explained: "The Butterfly Fairy Fruit can make you have a big dream, which is to make you recall the opportunities you missed in the dream, but this opportunity has nothing to do with reality, and it does not mean that you can get any substantial benefits, such as rare treasures or Yin beads."

"It could be a few thoughts you missed at a certain moment, a flash of inspiration, or something you couldn't remember no matter how hard you tried, or someone you had long forgotten..."

Liu Bai has eaten many earthly treasures that can increase qi, blood, and spirituality, but this is the first time he has seen something with such magical effects.

He looked at the four butterfly fairy fruits on the table again.

It is off-white with some spots on it. The skin doesn't look thick, but when you look closely, you will find that the spots on the surface seem to follow some rhythm. Just one glance at it makes people feel dizzy.

"Okay, pick one and try it."

All four were similar and there was nothing good to choose from. Liu Bai picked one at random, Deng Heitian took another, and the remaining two were divided between Huang Yuanyin and Huang Shangguan.

"If we eat here, we will have to trouble Brother Huang. It would be better for us to go back and eat."

Deng Heitian said with a smile.

"It's no trouble, please, Brother Deng."

"No need to transport it."

After waiting and watching Liu Bai and Deng Heitian leave, Huang Shangguan looked down at the Butterfly Fairy Fruit in his hand, his eyes flickering and confused.

"Dad, I want to sleep a little longer. I'll wait until the Tianjiao battle before eating this."

Huang Yuanyin looked down at his scruffy kid and said, "That's fine. Just make your own choice."

"..."

While waiting to return home, Liu Bai hesitated again, thinking that he would have a big dream after eating the Butterfly Fairy Fruit.

If I really sleep so soundly...what if the Bai family takes the opportunity to attack me?
Seeing Liu Bai's hesitation, Deng Heitian knew that people who travel outside all year round almost always feel insecure, so he smiled and said:

"Eat and sleep peacefully. I'll be guarding your door."

I'll be even more scared if you're guarding me... Liu Bai is still a little hesitant.

Until Xiao Cao said in the depths of his heart: "Don't worry, young master, this dream of the Butterfly Fairy Fruit can be woken up. Let Deng Heitian guard your bed. In this way, even if the Bai family contacts him secretly, Xiao Cao will be able to feel it and wake you up the first time."

With Xiaocao's words, Liu Bai felt much more at ease.

As for why the Bai family contacted Deng Heitian, it could be seen that Liu Bai was too lazy to ask more questions.

"Master, can you...can you stay by my bed?" Liu Bai scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

After hearing this, Deng Heitian couldn't help but be overjoyed.

For him, defending is defending no matter where.

But since Liu Bai asked him to stay by the bed, what did that mean? It meant that he trusted him!

Deng Heitian no longer had any doubts about whether Liu Bai would recognize his ancestry when he returned to the Deng family.

"What's the matter? Just go to sleep peacefully."

Deng Heitian waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem at all.

It was already dark, and after Liu Bai finished cleaning up, he returned to his room. Deng Heitian had been waiting there for a long time.

Just as Liu Bai said, he even moved a chair and sat next to the bed.

Liu Bai was slightly touched. After he got on the bed, he took out the Butterfly Fairy Fruit. Smelling its fragrance, he was very hungry.

He didn't hesitate and swallowed it in just a few bites.

Fortunately, I still tasted it. It was sweet and sour, and it also had a flavor a bit like grapes, which was quite strange.

But right after he ate it, he felt dizzy and couldn't even stand, his body was swaying.

He lay down in a hurry, and fell asleep just as his head touched the pillow.

In a hazy state, he felt as if he had turned into a light blue butterfly, flapping its wings continuously, and finally crashed into a magic circle with golden ripples.

The thought disappeared in an instant and returned in the blink of an eye.

Liu Bai returned to the town, returned to...home, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his mother.

But before he could open his mouth to call out "Mom", he saw Madam Liu walking into the house holding another self.

He hurried through the small peach grove and followed into the house.

At this moment, he actually found that Madam Liu turned around as if she saw him.

Liu Bai was so frightened that he subconsciously took a step back and stopped at the door.

Madam Liu rarely showed a smile, and then she spoke, and the familiar cold tone sounded in Liu Bai's ears again.

Even in my dreams, the sound is still clearly audible.

"Now... do you understand the wonderful use of time?"

"..."

I don't know if I am a guest in my dream, and I am greedy for a while.

Liu Bai didn't know whether he had indulged in pleasure or not. He only knew that after he woke up, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

I seem to have underestimated my mother's strength...

Deng Heitian looked at Liu Bai and closed the book in his hand with a smile, "Why, it seems that you have gained a lot in this dream."

Liu Bai's face was still a little pale. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly before saying:
“A small gain, a small gain.”

As Liu Bai spoke, he glanced at the sky outside. It was already bright.

"Master, what time is it? Are we going to have a meeting tomorrow?"

"No, the meeting has already begun."

"what?!"

Liu Bai climbed up quickly.

Xiao Cao also said in his mind: "My lord, you have slept for two days and two nights. What did you see in your dream? Was it the queen? Xiao Cao wants to see what you dream about. I can't see it."

Liu Bai didn't have time to pay attention to him. After he got out of bed, he suddenly lit a fire. All the fatigue in his body disappeared and he became energetic again.

"Let's go then."

As soon as Deng Heitian finished speaking, Liu Bai felt that the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

I have already left that yard and arrived at another strange place.

This is a very spacious hall. Liu Bai estimated that it was probably as big as the threshing ground in Huangliang Town.

There is a huge beam in the four directions of the hall, east, south, west and north. The size of the beam is so large that it requires four strong men as strong as Leihuo to hug it together.

I don’t know whether the beams and pillars are originally red or they were painted red.

In short, the whole body is a blood red color, with four golden dragons coiled on each of them, carved so vividly that at first glance, one can seem to still feel the pressure coming from the golden dragons.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge round table in the center of the hall.

It takes up at least half of the hall.

There are nine chairs placed around the round table. Currently, eight of these nine chairs are occupied.

Only the northwest corner is still vacant.

As soon as Liu Bai and the other person appeared, everyone turned their heads to look over.

Deng Heitian laughed and said, "Something happened at home, so I called the ancestor. I was delayed for a while. Please forgive me."

This lie came out of his mouth.

If the truth was told and Liu Bai had fallen asleep, Deng Heitian would not have shouted. If this were to be said out loud... I'm afraid the head of the Deng family would not be able to bear it.

Now if I tell a lie and use the reputation of my ancestor as an excuse, these people will naturally not dare to say anything.

"Ah."

Liu Zong sneered undisguisedly, "Why don't you sit down?"

When the two of them came over, Liu Bai noticed that there were only these nine chairs here. The rest of the geniuses, including Liu Ruzhi, had no seats.

Liu Bai originally thought about getting a chair to sit on, but after Deng Heitian sat down, the atmosphere in the place suddenly changed.

Although there was no coercion, it suddenly had a sense of solemnity and dignity. Vaguely, Liu Bai seemed to hear divine sounds in his ears.

It’s as if... those sitting around the round table are not the heads of the nine families, but the nine gods between heaven and earth!
This feeling is hard to explain, but it makes Liu Bai feel guilty, as if just thinking about sitting here is a... sin!
"Little grass."

Liu Bai called out from the bottom of his heart.

Xiaocao's voice soon rang out, but compared to usual, his voice this time was obviously much softer, as if he was whispering.

"Sir, I have never seen such a scene. Your Majesty has never been a genius, nor has she been the head of a family. I am sure I will never see such a thing."

"Stop talking, Xiaocao, I want to learn something new. I'll tell the queen about it when I get back."

Well, Liu Bai knew that it was useless to ask Xiaocao now.

He then stopped talking and focused on what was going on in the discussion among the nine families.

After Deng Heitian sat down, Liu Zong, the head of the Liu family, was the first to place his right hand on the table that seemed to be made of bluestone slabs, and the other eight people, both men and women, did the same.

Liu Bai watched seriously, and Xiao Cao's mutterings echoed in his heart.

"It seems that the weirdness comes from this stone table. Also, does it have to be a right hand? What if the person doesn't have a right hand?"

Liu Bai: "..."

"I, Liu Zong!"

Liu Zong, who was the first to put down his right hand, suddenly stood up and spoke in a serious voice. The other family heads followed suit and spoke in unison, but changed their names to their own.

Then, under the gaze of Liu Bai and others, the heads of the nine families in the world said in unison:

"I hereby announce to the gods of heaven and earth, the spirits of mountains and rivers, and the evil spirits of the human world. From now on, the nine families' meetings will resume, and the general trend of the human world will all begin from now on!"

At this moment, the voices of the nine of them converged.

Maybe it's the roughness of Leihuo's voice, or the oldness of Sima Shou's voice, or the medium and thickness of Huang Yuanyin's voice.

All these sounds echoed throughout the hall.

Then it spread higher and higher until it broke through the roof and echoed throughout Chaozhou. The sound did not stop there, but continued to spread farther and farther.

Afterwards, this voice suddenly rang out from the ancestral hall of the Zhongli family, a reclusive family in Wuzhou, and soon spread.

After that are the ancestral halls of the Lei family of Haizhou and the Hu family of Xiangzhou.

The voices spread, echoing throughout the entire state capital, and continued to spread in all directions.

After that were the Sima family of Jizhou in Wei State, the Shi family of Qingzhou, the Liu family of Ganzhou in Qin State, the Deng family of Longzhou and the Huang family of Yanzhou.

The sounds resounded throughout the world like rolling thunder.

Among them, the sound emitted by the Lei Family Ancestral Hall in Haizhou was transmitted to the vast endless sea, and the sound emitted by the Liu Family Ancestral Hall in Ganzhou, after resounding throughout the entire Western Great Wall, was sent into the wilderness taboo.

At this moment, Madam Liu from Huangliang Town, Yunzhou raised her head.

Deep in the Chu River, Sui Zhi, who was sitting high on the throne built on top of piles of bones, also put down the wine cup in his hand.

On the Western Great Wall, Marshal Zou Yin, who had been guarding the city wall for thousands of years, also raised his head.

Deep in the forbidden area, on the top of the God Mountain, the old priest in front of the temple finally opened his cloudy eyes and looked towards the east.

It was like an old man who was woken up from his nap.

Inside the temple, a hoarse yet shrill voice was heard.

"Old temple keeper, listen, they are already cheering for your arrival."

"hehe."

The old temple keeper didn't seem to take it to heart and looked away, watching as he seemed to be falling asleep again.

The voice in the temple sounded again.

"There are a few stray dogs in your backyard that are getting in the way. Aren't you going to clean them up quickly?"

The old temple keeper spoke up this time, "Anyone from afar is a guest. It is unreasonable for the host to chase the guest away."

"..."

A deep valley in a forbidden area.

Suddenly three figures appeared. Zhang Cang and the old Taoist priest were fine, but Hei Mu was the only one who was breathing heavily.

"You two old guys don't know how to give me a hand?"

"You two old immortals standing on the top of the mountain, dragged my throne here to die. If you don't want me to live, just tell me!"

Kuroki cursed.

Zhang Cang and the old Taoist priest were about to speak when the three of them all looked up at the sky.

Above the clouds, the voices of the nine families discussing matters rang out like rolling thunder.

"They've already started over there, so we have to hurry up here, lest they fall behind and blame us later."

As Zhang Cang spoke, he looked at the old Taoist priest again. The latter snorted coldly, took out another axe with a wooden handle, and chopped forward.

In an instant, the space was split into two halves like a piece of white paper, revealing a dark hole.

Seeing this, the last Black Wood said hurriedly: "Old Heavenly Master, this time you must find the right position before opening the door. If you appear behind the throne again, I will really die here!"

"It's easy to talk about."

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he picked up his axe and stepped into the depths of the void.

"..."

Liu Bai watched as the heads of the nine families sat down again. Bai Tingxian, the head of the Bai family, the old boss, slowly spoke:

"I invited you all here to discuss this forbidden expedition to the east."
