"Senior Brother!" Yan Xiaohu shouted excitedly.
Hearing Yan Xiaohu’s shout, Ghost Mastiff gave him a side glance and said, "Can you shut up already? As a senior brother, you let Old Fourth stand in front of you. How shameless can you be!"
Yan Xiaohu’s happy smile suddenly froze, feeling embarrassed, he muttered softly, "What can I do? Even if I run, I can’t catch up to Old Fourth."
Lu Yaoyao was also full of excitement, even feeling that in this moment, Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff was like a god descending from the heavens, incredibly cool.
At this moment, Ghost Mastiff’s gaze landed on the corpse of Yu Ziqi at Zhou Qing’s feet, and he asked in shock, "You did this?"
Zhou Qing, coming back to his senses, couldn’t help but laugh, scratching his head, "The three of us did it together."
"Awesome, that’s my junior brother!" Ghost Mastiff gave a thumbs up.
Then he looked at Li Hanshan, whose face had become quite ugly, his eyes instantly turning cold with sarcasm and disdain.
"Li Hanshan, you’ve become quite capable, huh? All those times we sparred before, I was going easy on you, and you really thought we were evenly matched? Hmph, so now you bully my junior brothers when I’m not around? How shameless can you be!"
Ghost Mastiff angrily scolded without any reservation.
Li Hanshan’s face turned red and white, gripping the black halberd tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand. He was obviously angered, and he instinctively looked towards Sikong Yan on the city wall.
Seeing this, Ghost Mastiff sneered again, "What, you’re a grown man and can’t make your own decisions? Need someone else to nod and tell you what to do? Are you a puppet?"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, five figures swiftly flew in, landing on the surrounding treetops.
The leading man carried a broad sword on his back, the scabbard ancient and inscribed with mysterious runes, giving off an ancient vibe.
He crossed his arms, exuding a strong, masculine aura.
On the adjacent treetop stood a stunningly beautiful woman, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
She carried an elaborately carved longbow, standing there quietly like a frost flower in the cold night, cool and elegant, with a unique charm.
The third was a slender youth, holding a pair of short blades, with a black fox on his shoulder, its eyes bright and cunning, exuding a clever air.
The fourth was a tall, robust man with a back like a tiger and a waist like a bear, muscles bulging like small hills, his face covered in whiskers like steel needles, carrying a giant wolf-fang club.
His eyes were bright, and after a quick scan, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, radiating an honest and hearty smile.
Following closely was a gentle-looking woman, holding a guqin, giving off a feeling of aloofness like a high mountain flower, only to be admired from afar.
Their only common trait was their youth and the Divinity Transformation Realm aura they exuded.
"Mastiff, need any help?" the leading man shouted loudly, his voice clear and filled with concern, clearly having a close relationship with Ghost Mastiff.
Ghost Mastiff waved his hand and said, "Just a small matter, no need to bother you guys, I can handle it myself!"
After speaking, he turned towards the city wall and raised his voice, shouting, "Elder Sikong... no, it should be Fellow Daoist Sikong now. Your puppet is waiting for your decision. If you can’t make up your mind, how about we fight it out?"
Ghost Mastiff finished, his eyes like torches, shouting directly at Sikong Yan.
Watching this, Zhou Qing and the others felt their hearts surge.
As expected of Senior Brother, he now dares to challenge the sect leader directly, and how long has he been away, yet he’s made such powerful friends in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Sikong Yan looked calmly at Ghost Mastiff, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
That smile seemed to have a subtle meaning, making it hard to fathom.
Then, without saying a word, he moved and left.
Li Hanshan saw this, snorted coldly, unwilling but hurriedly followed.
Seeing the opponents leave, Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao burst into cheers, their faces filled with the joy and excitement of narrowly escaping calamity.
Ghost Mastiff slapped Zhou Qing on the shoulder, his expression excited as he transmitted, "Old Mo told me everything, I didn’t expect the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown we saw last time was you, impressive, really impressive!"
Zhou Qing looked a bit embarrassed.
"After competing with Xuanyuan Yichen last time, you were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now you’re already in the Nascent Soul. This Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown is truly terrifying."
Ghost Mastiff spoke while continuously examining Zhou Qing, his eyes full of amazement.
"Now that you can even kill Yu Ziqi, with your growth speed, it won’t take long before you reach Divinity Transformation. In that case, I won’t touch Li Hanshan; he’ll be the best grindstone for you!" Ghost Mastiff said seriously. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zhou Qing nodded. To be honest, after killing Yu Ziqi, he wasn’t as fearful of Li Hanshan anymore.
Not to mention, he still had a jade token given by a Spirit Severing Realm.
"Brothers, let me introduce you to my junior brother, Zhou Qing!" Ghost Mastiff put away his long spear and laughed heartily.
The five immediately jumped down from the trees, each walking over with a smile.
On the city wall, Feng Cheng and the others let out a long sigh of relief, this crisis was finally over.
