Chapter 373: 374: Reunion, The Arrogant Ergouzi

Looking at the crisscrossing blade qi, it was definitely something only a battle-hardened expert could have condensed. This middle-aged man in front of them had mastered blade techniques to perfection.

At this moment, they felt like they had kicked an iron plate.

The surrounding cultivators were also dumbfounded. It was the first time they had witnessed the strength of Sky Blade Song Que, and it was outrageously strong.

The blade qi around them consciously avoided the bystanders, so no one was accidentally injured. Just this level of control was enough to leave everyone in awe.

And this middle-aged man was actually calling the elders of Fire Qilin Cave “lads,” speaking to them as if he was reprimanding junior cultivators. Just how many years had Song Que cultivated?

Li Xiaobai quickly regained his composure. Such strength was befitting of Sky Blade Song Que; that move at the city entrance was far from his true power.

His body rubbed inconspicuously against a sharp edge, his stats skyrocketing.

On the steps, Song Que silently lit a Huazi, took a small drag, and said slowly, “What do you say?”

“May I inquire as to the esteemed name of the senior; today, we truly did not know any better and offended you. We will now step aside and yield the way, please calm your anger, Elder.”

Saint Child Huo Yun said slowly from within his palanquin. The surrounding blade qi pressed down on him immensely; just looking at it made his Primordial Spirit feel as if it would be torn apart. Such beings were not ones Fire Qilin Cave wished to provoke lightly.

“I’m just a traveler on the path of the unbeatable. Names aren’t important. First, stand to the side and wait, we will call you over when it’s time to talk.”

Song Que waved his hand casually and spoke indifferently.

“Understood, we will do as instructed right away.”

The bearers carrying the four palanquins scurried over to the side of the crowd of cultivators to obediently stand in line, a stark contrast to their previous demeanor.

The surrounding cultivators were completely dumbfounded; even Fire Qilin Cave had suffered a loss at the hands of Sky Blade Song Que. At this moment, they felt extremely proud inside.

Indeed, the borderlands were where the strongest gathered, the most hallowed and inviolable place.

For the cultivators of the Holy City, Sky Blade Song Que was their backbone.

The cultivators began to orderly enter the city, each seriously reporting their origins, as if they had to meticulously account for their ancestors up to eighteen generations. At this moment, admiration for Song Que filled the hearts of all present to the extreme.

The people from Fire Qilin Cave looked defeated. Originally, they had come to the borderlands on an important mission as reinforcements, eager to make their mark and suppress everything in sight. However, they hadn’t anticipated being thoroughly subdued just at the city gate.

The pride of the distinguished power was nowhere to be seen in front of this man, and they had completely lost face.

Anyone with clear insight could see that this was certainly intentional by the Holy City. It had been so long without a City Lord coming out to greet them, despite the clamor from Fire Qilin Cave. Perhaps they had calculated that today was the day to curtail the prestige of Fire Qilin Cave to prevent any attempts at seizing their nest.

Song Que was meticulous in his duties, carefully recording each person’s formation. When it was Fire Qilin Cave’s turn, Saint Child Huo Yun represented them and negotiated with Song Que.

Song Que didn’t trouble anyone and let them pass straightaway, as if he really was just diligently performing his duty.

Li Xiaobai hurried to keep up and nodded towards Song Que; then he approached the fourth palanquin, where he heard Ergouzi murmuring.

“Damn it, where did this freak come from? Such strength is simply ludicrous, you scared your Lord Ergouzi to death.”

“That blade technique bears some resemblance to the Blade King of the Ancient Era, but once Lord Ergouzi activates his bloodline, all these will be trivial matters.”

“Yeah, as long as Lord Ergouzi grows up, even if that kid shows up, he’ll just be a small fry that can be slapped to death with a single hand!”

“I alone am exalted above heaven and earth, Lord Ergouzi truly is the supreme existence!”

Listening to the monologue coming from the palanquin, Li Xiaobai felt speechless. This damned dog was still the same as ever, always running its mouth off, unparalleled in the world when it came to self-hypnosis.

Leaning close to the palanquin, he said faintly, “Ergouzi, it’s been a while, and you’ve grown even more arrogant.”

“Woof, it’s you, kid, you’re actually at the frontier too, Lord Ergouzi thought you had been slaughtered by the old monsters in Central Province!”

The voice from within the palanquin immediately became excited, as if reconnecting with an old friend after many years.

However, the next second, the warm and harmonious atmosphere was shattered by it.

“Kid, do you have any idea how much Lord Ergouzi has missed you!”

“Without Huazi, life just isn’t worth living for Lord Ergouzi. Good brothers show loyalty, quickly hand over a couple packs of Huazi!”

Li Xiaobai’s face turned as dark as can be, the first half of the sentence almost had him believing that Ergouzi was genuinely moved, but then it fell apart in the next second, demanding Huazi upon meeting—it was as disappointing as ever.

“Giggle, stupid dog, you still want to smoke Huazi? Huazi is mine alone, you damned dog can go eat shit!”

Ji Wuqing popped out of Li Xiaobai’s arms, heaping scorn upon Ergouzi. The dog’s luxurious life made it green with envy.

It wanted that kind of treatment where everyone fawned over it too!

“Woof, you damned chicken, you’re still not dead. But to Lord Ergouzi at this moment, you pose no threat, mere chicken and mutt, beneath my dignity to converse with!”

Ergouzi scorned mercilessly, now that it had activated its bloodline and found the strongest cultivation method, a mere barnyard chicken was nothing in its eyes.

Li Xiaobai was at a loss for words. Had the damned dog not realized it was cursing itself too?

Mere chicken and mutt, those eyes confirmed it was still that same brain-dead Ergouzi.

“You two really are like chicken and mutt, both as good as the other, so stop mocking each other. Once we enter the City Lord’s Mansion, behave yourselves.”

Li Xiaobai spoke calmly, knowing Ergouzi must have quite a bit of information on Fire Qilin Cave and decided to ask later.

The grudge over his stolen heavy-armored vehicle had never been forgotten. Although now he had a high-end Lamborghini to get around, debts had to be settled, and whoever dared to touch his stuff had to pay the price.

Following the procession at a steady pace, the elder with the surname Jiang had already encountered Li Xiaobai back at Elixir Sect, and now pretended to be oblivious with a turn of his head.

His Saint Heir seemed quite familiar with the other party, which was a good thing. Gaining the support of such an outstanding youth was an important factor in the fight for dominance over Fire Qilin.

As for Yun Yan and Yunkun, they were even more familiar with Li Xiaobai and didn’t dare to give him another glance, for fear of being kidnapped by him again.

Seeing that familiar smile, they felt as though they were transported back to their days as Poop Scoopers in the Holy Demon Sect of the Northern Region, reminiscing the nights they delivered paper to Sect Disciples, their eyes slightly moistening with the memory.

The two bearers carrying the palanquin, witnessing this bizarre scene, also didn’t dare make idle conversation. They were just there to fill numbers and knew to follow the lead of the big shots.
