“Now is the time to invade Huaxia and take revenge for our fallen brothers!
“I will be going there myself this time. We’ll step into Huaxia and hunt for the killer. Who will come with me?”
The hall was silent for a short while.
Then, it exploded with noise.
“I will!”
“I will too!”
People around the hall stood up one by one. They looked excited and even fanatic.
Westridge District was not a known place in the cultivation world. Someone powerful might be hiding there, but they would not be able to withstand a massive invasion force. The Nanyang shamans wanted to use the opportunity to display their power.
“Onward to Huaxia! Flatten Westridge!”
“Onward to Huaxia! Flatten Westridge!”
The shamans answered the call to arms fanatically.
The next morning, a group of Nanyang shamans in black suits, felt hats, and black suitcases rode on the earliest flight toward Province Z in Huaxia.
Chapter 295 - This Is Outrageous
The next day, Tang Hao went to the neighboring district after attending to company matters.
That Xu boss owned a clothing factory in the neighboring district. He lost the bid for an order to Sis Xiangyi, and that was why he hired a Nanyang shaman to ruin her.
Tang Hao could not forgive such a despicable act.
If that person hired a Nanyang shaman, it would mean that he was used to doing such heinous acts. If he could find some evidence, he would be able to ruin that person’s life.
It was already afternoon when he arrived at the neighboring district.
He searched around but did not manage to find the Xu guy.
He went around looking for information and found out that the Xu guy had not been seen since that morning and had been uncontactable.
Tang Hao did not suspect much. A rich person like the Xu boss would be able to afford a short retreat somewhere.
He searched again around the area and did not find anything. Then, he returned toward where he came from.
It was almost five o’clock in the afternoon when he returned to Westridge. The sky was already starting to darken.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing.
It was from an unknown number.
He furrowed his brows and became wary.
He hesitated for a while but eventually answered the call.
An elderly yet sinister voice was heard from the other end of the call. “Is this Tang Hao?”
Tang Hao’s expression changed drastically. He could hear from the tone of voice that the person was hostile. Furthermore, his Chinese was spoken in a weird Southern accent.
“Who are you?” Tang Hao answered grimly.
“Ha!” That person chuckled. “Who am I? You will find out very soon. Listen to me very closely. If you want the people around you to be safe, then you will come to me without putting up any resistance.
“I am at Mausoleum Garden now. If you don’t come, you should know what the consequences are.
“You should have someone powerful backing you, right? Get them to come along too! I’ll wait for you until nine o’clock. After that, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Then, the phone call abruptly ended.
Tang Hao’s expression was unspeakably grim.
That was obviously a Nanyang shaman.
When he killed the shaman the day before, that guy had said that his master would avenge him. Revenge seemed to have landed swiftly.
He was concerned about how many people that guy’s master brought with him. If only the master came, then he would be able to handle it without harming Sis Xiangyi and the other people he cared about.
If many people came and they scattered their forces, then it would be very difficult.
Fortunately, the blood jade beads were still with Sis Xiangyi, and normal shamans would not be able to touch her.
While he was still sunken in thought, a call from Old Master Luo came.
“What’s up, Old Master Luo?”
“Grandmaster Tang, I received a call from Nanyang earlier, and they asked about the whereabouts of Grandmaster Chacha and the others. I had no choice but to tell them the truth.
“The people from Nanyang look like they’re coming to avenge Grandmaster Chacha. You’d better be careful!” Old Master Luo said worriedly.
Grandmaster Tang was the only person who could cure his grandson. If he died, then his grandson would forever be a dummy.
Tang Hao was surprised. His expression turned grim.
He thought that the person who called him came to him because of that guy from the night before, but he did not expect that the person was related to Grandmaster Chacha as well.
Things were becoming serious.
“You’re too late, Old Master Luo,” Tang Hao said with a bitter smile, “They’re already here in Westridge!”
“What? How can they be so fast?” Old Master Luo cried out in surprise. “You should be careful, Grandmaster Tang!”
“Don’t worry. It won’t be that easy for them to claim my life.”
After Tang Hao ended the call, he checked the time.
It was 5:15 in the afternoon.
He parked his car by the mountainside and thought for a long time.
Then, he picked up his phone and gave a call to Sis Xiangyi, Assistant Han, and all the other people close to him to confirm their safety.
He drove the car further away from the main road and started crafting talismans.
He had used up a lot of jade talismans while at Eight-Gate Village. He did not have many left.
He tried to replenish his stock as much as possible. Every extra jade talisman counted.
He stopped after two and a half hours and took a Qi Restoration Pill.
Then, he took out the strange black mirror and studied it for a while.
He had not discovered the secret behind the mirror yet. However, he knew that he could use it as a shield in an emergency.
He took a deep breath, then drove toward Mausoleum Garden.
Mausoleum Garden was located to the east of Provincial City. It was a deserted area surrounded by mountains.
It was clear to him why the opponents chose the place. They did not want to attract too much attention in case a fight broke out.
He neared Mausoleum Garden about twenty minutes later.
Several cars were parked on a patch of barren land. They belonged to the Nanyang shamans.
Tang Hao slowly approached them in his car.
When he got out of the car, the people from those cars got out as well. A bunch of figures in felt hats and black suits appeared, each one of them carrying a black suitcase.
An elderly figure came out of the car in the middle.
He was also dressed in a black suit. His body was thin and bony, and his face was sunken like a skeleton. However, he carried a powerful aura on him.
‘That’s the strongest one!’ Tang Hao’s expression changed.
From the aura alone, he could discern that the elderly figure had a higher cultivation base than he did.
He swept his eyes across the crowd. About twenty people were standing opposite him. Each one of them carried powerful auras. A few of them had almost the same cultivation base as he did.
‘F*ck me… I didn’t expect such a crowd!’ Tang Hao was alarmed.
The elderly figure looked at the car behind Tang Hao and furrowed his brows. “Where’s the other guy? Why is it just you?” He asked.
Tang Hao did not reply.
“Whatever, anyone will do. I’ll capture you first, and the other guy will show up.”
To Grandmaster Toto and the other shamans, there must be someone powerful backing the kid who had killed Abu, Bakar, and Chacha.
Grandmaster Toto turned to order the people next to him, “Call the others here!”
That person shouted a command into his walkie-talkie.
Soon, the sounds of car engines were heard from all d
irections.
Tang Hao turned around to see and nearly swore.
Dozens of cars appeared from both sides of the road. They blocked the road on both ends, blocking his escape route.
The car doors opened and many figures in black suits got out. They were all Nanyang shamans.
Each one of them had a powerful aura.
One, two, three… Tang Hao did a rough count and was dumbstruck.
There were more than a hundred Nanyang shamans gathered there!
“Is there such a need?” Tang Hao was becoming flustered.
Over a hundred Nanyang shamans had gathered there to fight him. That was outrageous.
He thought that at most ten would come. He was already surprised when he saw about twenty appear in front of him, but suddenly that number had grown to over a hundred.
There was no way he could beat them all!
Tang Hao felt his scalp become numb. He was thinking hard about how to escape.
Chapter 296 - Escape
Uninhabited mountains; a pale moon.
That, and with over a hundred Nanyang shamans in the area, the scene was somewhat chilling.
The Nanyang shamans formed a circle, surrounding Tang Hao within.
Each one of them glared at Tang Hao with a sinister and dreadful gaze.
“So this is the kid who killed Duri?”
“Who dares kill someone from Nanyang? I don’t care who you are, you have to pay the price with blood.”
They spoke grimly and their eyes were filled with killing intent.
Tang Hao looked around him, and his expression became dour.
‘A hundred against one? I can’t win!’
Each one of them only had to send a few malicious ghosts at him and he would be ground to dirt.
He tried to discreetly move toward his A8.
Grandmaster Toto took a step forward. “Let me ask you, kid, are you the one who killed Duri?” He roared angrily.
Tang Hao did not reply.
He realized that Duri must be that guy from yesterday. However, it was not convenient for him to admit it now.
The Nanyang shamans were angry when they saw that Tang Hao said nothing.
“Let us teach this kid a lesson, Grandmaster Toto. Let’s show him the power of Nanyang!”
One of the Nanyang shamans walked forward and cackled. He placed his black suitcase on the ground with a heavy thud, then opened it and retrieved a black can.
He muttered something while opening the can. A red mist gushed out. It was blood sand.
Negative qi instantly filled the air.
That was not normal sand. It was poisonous sand prepared in the vilest ways and fused with malicious ghosts to become a weapon of great destruction.
The shaman’s eyes opened suddenly. He pointed a finger toward Tang Hao and directed the cloud of blood sand at him.
Tang Hao’s expression changed drastically.
He flicked his wrist. A few jade talismans appeared in his hand and he threw them out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The jade talismans exploded in bursts of fire and lightning.
The shockwave from the explosion dispersed the blood sand in all directions, which caused the Nanyang shamans all around to cry out in surprise and scurry away.
Tang Hao spotted the opportunity.
He flicked both of his wrists, and more jade talismans appeared in his hands.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The jade talismans scattered in all directions like falling petals.
Then, a series of explosions were heard.
Some of the Nanyang shamans were caught off guard. They were shocked when they saw that many jade talismans. They had never seen talismans that contained that much power.
Tang Hao took the chance to open the car door and scuttle inside.
“Wait! That kid is trying to escape!” Someone shouted.
“Stop him!”
The shamans roared angrily. They opened their suitcases and brought out their best weapons.
The wails and howls of ghosts and other monsters were heard.
A dark cloud of poisonous insects and malicious ghosts poured forth toward Tang Hao. The cloud was so dense that it covered the sky.
Even someone as unfazed as Tang Hao was afraid when he looked out of the car window.
That was the combined power of a hundred Nanyang shamans.
He turned the car around and headed toward the road on the left.
The dark cloud descended upon the car.
The defensive talismans in the car were activated. A web of light shields appeared around it.
However, only a few moments later, several light shields were shattered.
“F*ck!” Tang Hao swore. He floored the accelerator. The engine roared and the car sped away.
The Nanyang shamans were once again stunned.
They were cross-eyed when they saw the light shield that surrounded the car.
‘What the hell is that?
‘What the hell is that car?’
Grandmaster Toto came to his senses first. His expression sank and his face turned ghastly.
That kid’s abilities were beyond his expectations. Not only he carried powerful jade talismans, but he also had a special car.
“Want to escape? No chance!” He grunted coldly, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Somehow, a staff with the head of a dragon appeared in his right hand.
He knocked on the ground with the staff. An invisible shockwave burst out toward the car.
The shockwave caught up with the speeding car and shattered a few light shields.
Fortunately, the other shields held up and the car did not suffer any slowdown. It rammed toward the blockade of cars on the road and continued speeding away.
On the piece of barren land, the Nanyang shamans looked at each other. They all seemed quite unpleasant.
They had the advantage of numbers, but they had allowed a kid to run away from their clutches.
That was the ultimate humiliation!
Many of the Nanyang shamans were trembling in anger.
That was like a slap on their faces. They were both embarrassed and furious.
“Go after him! I want to shred that kid into a million pieces!” Grandmaster Toto roared. His face was contorted viciously.
The Nanyang shamans recalled their weapons and closed their black suitcases. They got back into their cars and quickly gave chase.
Meanwhile, after driving away for a distance, Tang Hao realized that something was amiss.
If he had gotten away, the group of Nanyang shamans might divert their anger to the people close to him. He would not be able to save all of them.
“No, I can’t run away. I need to stall them!”
Tang Hao immediately slowed down and waited for them to catch up.
Meanwhile, he was thinking hard about what to do.
There were too many opponents for him to handle alone.
‘Right! I’m part of the Agency now! I should look for them if there’s trouble, and also the Taoist masters from Mao Mountain!’
Tang Hao’s eyes sparkled when he thought of that.
He took out his phone and dialed General Bai’s number.
The call was picked up after a short while.
“Hey, Comrade Tang Hao! Miss me already? It’s only been a few days!” General Bai laughed heartily.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. “Miss my *ss! If you don’t save me now, you can prepare to collect me in a body bag!” He yelled into the phone.
General Bai was shocked when they heard that.
He thought that Tang Hao was joking at first.
However, he soon realized that Tang Hao did not sound like he was joking.
“What’s wrong, Comrade Tang Hao?” He asked urgently.
He was also wondering what was going on. He knew that Tang Hao had a high cultivation base. Not many people could pose a danger to him.
“I’m being hunted down by someone!” T
ang Hao yelled.
“Hunted? Who dares hunt my people?” General Bai was angered.
“Nanyang shamans!”
“Oh, the bunch of whelps from Nanyang? How many people are there? Five, or ten?”
“Dammit, there are a hundred of them!” Tang Hao yelled.
General Bai was stunned once again.
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “A… A hundred? Motherf*cker! How is that possible?” General Bai swore.
Chapter 297 - A Commotion in Mao Mountain
General Bai was shocked on the other end of the phone.
He thought that he had misheard.
‘A hundred Nanyang shamans? How is that possible? There are only a little more than five hundred shamans in the entire Nanyang. A hundred of them would be almost a fifth of them.’
He could not imagine the horrific spectacle of a hundred Nanyang shamans barreling down a mountain road.
That had never happened in the history of Huaxia!
It was almost like a war!
“Really?” General Bai asked a little doubtfully.
“Of course it’s real!” Tang Hao said impatiently.
General Bai gulped. He could feel his scalp become numb.
He could not imagine how it was like being chased by a hundred Nanyang shamans.
Then, he began to worry.
Comrade Tang Hao was the only person in the Agency who knew how to make pills. General Bai had to ensure that no harm came to him!
He slammed the table and stood up. “Dammit, these Nanyang whelps are too brazen! How dare they cause trouble in Huaxia? And they’re hunting my men too? I can’t tolerate this!
“Where are you now, Comrade Tang Hao?”
“I’m at Westridge heading toward Province J to seek support from Mao Mountain.”
“Is that so… Alright! Just make your way there and make sure that they follow you. You have to be careful! I send support over right now.”
