After the call ended, Tang Hao turned around to see. A sea of lights was appearing on the road behind him. The Nanyang shamans were catching up.
He continued driving while maintaining at that speed.
Then, he dialed Shabby Taoist Master’s number on his phone.
Shabby Taoist Master picked up the call after a long while. “Hey, Fellow Cultivator Tang! It’s rare for you to call me, why, is there something?” He said lazily.
“Save me! Someone is hunting me!” Tang Hao shouted into the phone.
Shabby Taoist Master was shocked. Then, a splash was heard as he got out of the hot spring.
“What? You’re hunted? Which bastard is this?” Shabby Taoist Master said angrily.
“Nanyang shamans!”
Shabby Taoist Master was stunned again. He wondered what was going on.
As far as he remembered, there were not any particularly strong characters from Nanyang. Why would Fellow Cultivator Tang sound so flustered?
‘Don’t tell me… there’s someone powerful?’
“What’s the name of the opponent? How many of them are there?”
Tang Hao thought for a while and replied, “There’s an old man, I think his name is Toto. He’s very powerful. Also, there’s more than a hundred of them.”
“Toto?” Shabby Taoist Master furrowed his brows while thinking. Then, his expression changed drastically.
Grandmaster Toto was one of the most notorious figures in the Nanyang cultivation world. Everyone knew who he was.
His expression changed again and he sucked in a mouthful of cold air. “What? A hundred of them?” He cried out in surprise.
“You heard that correctly. There’s more than a hundred of them! I’m at Westridge now driving toward Mao Mountain. Remember, bring as many people as you can. There’s more than a hundred of them,” Tang Hao roared.
Shabby Taoist Master stood stiffly in the hot spring. His eyes were glazed over with incredulity.
He did not react when his towel slipped off.
He came to his senses a while later. “F*ck, this is bad news!” He yelled.
He quickly got out of the hot spring as though his backside was burning, then grabbed his clothes and ran up the mountain while putting them on.
More and more people were alerted as he made his way up the mountain.
Soon, the entire mountain was abustle with activity.
“Bad news! Bad news! Something is happening to Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
“Who is Fellow Cultivator Tang?”
“Have you forgotten? He was the one who came to help us when the Wang family descendant branch attacked us, and he even drove off that villain Wang Changsheng!”
“Oh, so that’s him! Doesn’t he have a high cultivation base? Why would something happen to him?”
“Dammit, the monkeys from Nanyang are here! There’s a hundred of them currently hunting down Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
“F*ck, a hundred of them? Is this a joke? Will there be a war? We shouldn’t tolerate this! Does this group of Nanyang monkeys think that there’s no one in Huaxia?”
“Let’s go and save Fellow Cultivator Tang. We ought to teach that bunch of Nanyang monkeys a lesson!”
More and more people followed behind Shabby Taoist Master as he ran up the mountain.
They arrived at the main hall soon.
“Bad news, Senior Uncle!” Shabby Taoist Master yelled as he barged into the main hall.
“What’s wrong, Xuan Ling? Why are you in such a hurry? You ought to be more dignified.” An elderly figure with silvery-white hair and dressed in Taoist robes was sitting in the middle of the hall. He opened his eyes and glanced at Shabby Taoist Master unhappily.
“Something terrible is happening, Senior Uncle! Nanyang is invading us! There’s more than a hundred of them! They’re hunting down Fellow Cultivator Tang now. That’s the Fellow Cultivator Tang who came to our rescue,” Shabby Taoist Master said urgently.
A group of Taoist masters finally caught up to him and entered the main hall.
The elderly Taoist Master was shocked but soon regained his composure. “Is that so! That’s a tricky situation,” he said while stroking his beard, “How about this. Xuan Ling, you bring your fellow cultivators to help Fellow Cultivator Tang and save him.”
“That’s impossible. There’s more than a hundred of them!” Shabby Taoist Master said urgently.
“That’s exactly why we can’t respond with our full force. If all of us went, there will be a big clash between Huaxia and Nanyang. That’s… not going to end well!
“You just need to bring a small group of people and extract him to safety. Don’t you think so?” The elderly Taoist master stroked his beard while saying with a smile.
Shabby Taoist Master became even more flustered. “That won’t do! We won’t be able to stand up against them. What if we don’t manage to save Fellow Cultivator Tang? Senior Uncle, Tang Hao had once saved Mao Mountain from the danger of that villain Wang Changsheng. If not for him, we’d suffer a lot more casualties.
“Fellow Cultivator Tang is a benefactor!”
“Well…” The elderly Taoist master hesitated.
He had considered that point before, but if he mobilized the entire Mao Mountain, a clash between Huaxia and Nanyang would be unavoidable. He could not predict how the situation would evolve from there.
“Right, Senior Uncle, I forgot to tell you that Fellow Cultivator Tang knows how to make alchemical pills!”
“Oh, he’s a pill-maker!” The elderly Taoist master nodded. Then, his eyes opened round and wide as he stood up. “What did you say? He’s a pill-maker?”
His eyes were sparkling!
The group of Taoist masters at the entrance also seemed very excited when they heard that.
“That’s true, Senior Uncle. Fellow Cultivator Tang is a pill-maker! The few of us know,” a few people in the crowd shouted. There were present at Eight-Gate Village.
They wanted to keep that secret about Fellow Cultivator Tang. There was only one Tang Hao with limited time and energy. Their chances of getting pills made would lessen if more people knew about that secret.
“F*ck!” The elderly Taoist master swore while jumping up and down on the spot. His earlier calm demeanor was nowhere to be seen. “You whelps! Why didn’t you say that first?”
The elderly Taoist master was flustered now. A pill-maker was an indispensable talent!
“Why are you all standing there for? Quickly sound the bell and gather everyone! We’ll have to fight to the death with the bunch of Nanyang monkeys,” the elderly Taoist master roared as he looked all around him.
He looked even more flustered than Shabby Taoist Master earlier.
Chapter 298 - Huaxia VS Nanyang
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Clang! Clang!
The clarion ring of the bell was heard throughout Mao Mountain.
Mao Mountain instantly came alive.
“Haven’t you heard? The monkeys from Nanyang are here! They’re chasing down that Fellow Cultivator Tang. I’ve also heard that Fellow Cultivator Tang is a pill-maker! If we go and help him, we’ll get a pill from him.”
“F*ck! Alchemical pills? That’s a good deal! Let’s go!”
All the Taoist masters from every corner of Mao Mountain were alerted. They hurried out as fast as they could from their abodes, bathrooms, and even toilets.
All of them were excited. Their eyes were sparkling as they streamed toward the great hall.
The elderly Taoist masters were eager to jump into action again.
“This is intolerable!”
“Those Nanyang monkeys have gone too far!”
They gritted their teeth in indignation, as though the Nanyang shamans have done something irredeemable.
“Poor thing, that Fellow Cultivator Tang! We have to go save him!”
They were extremely worried.
“Kill the Nanyang monkeys, s
ave Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
“Kill the Nanyang monkeys, save Fellow Cultivator Tang!”
Someone started a chant and more and more people followed.
The elderly Taoist master in the middle of the hall lifted a hand and asked for silence.
“You should know what is happening. That’s right, the Fellow Cultivator Tang that helped us before is now being hunted down by those monkeys from Nanyang.
“Fellow Cultivator Tang is a young, capable, and righteous young man. He is the future of Huaxia. We can’t just turn a blind eye when he’s bullied.
“Huaxia is a great country, and we cannot tolerate those monkeys from Nanyang running rampant here!
“We will depart now and fight those monkeys to the death!”
The elderly Taoist master roared agitatedly.
“To the death!”
“To the death!”
All the Taoist masters were riled up by the call to battle.
They hurried down the mountain.
A fleet of cars drove out from the garage at the base of the mountain, There was an assortment of Porsches, Ferraris, and all sorts of other cars.
The cars turned on their lights, then streamed down Mao Mountain and toward Province Z.
…
Meanwhile, an Audi A8 sped on the road toward Mao Mountain.
Behind him was a convoy of more than twenty cars. Everyone in those cars was a Nanyang shaman in a black suit.
They gritted their teeth as they looked at the car in front of them.
That young kid had managed to escape from their hands. That was a great humiliation.
What was even more humiliating was that they somehow could not catch up to the car in front.
That car seemed a little freaky!
Every time one of their men stuck their heads out of the window to cast a sorcery spell, the car in front would speed up as though it was attached to a rocket booster and put itself out of range. That surprised them greatly.
After that, the car would slow down again and wobble as though it was malfunctioning, provoking them to catch up.
“Dammit, this kid is too much!” The shamans gritted their teeth in hatred.
In the SUV in the middle of the convoy, Grandmaster Toto sat there with an eerily sinister expression.
“Chase him down and capture him! I want him to experience the most painful and most cruel tortures in this world,” Grandmaster Toto roared maniacally.
The driver floored the accelerator and gave chase.
The chase lasted for about three hours.
From Westridge District, they went northward and passed by Provincial City. Soon, they were at the province border.
A mountain range marked the border between the provinces.
Tang Hao went into the mountain range. It drove along the winding mountain road at full speed. About ten minutes later, he arrived at a barren valley.
The car suddenly ‘slipped’ off the road, dove into the valley, and stopped there.
Behind the car, the Nanyang shamans were ecstatic.
“Haha! That kid must be at his limit! Let’s go and get him!”
The cars drove off the road and into the valley, blocking any exit.
Then, the car doors opened. The shamans came out of the cars carrying their briefcases and walked toward the A8.
Grandmaster Toto also came down while carrying his dragon-head staff.
He was on cloud nine. The frustration he had felt in the car chase earlier had been swept clean.
“Haha, you filthy kid! Prepare to be captured!” The Nanyang shamans laughed.
Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from far away.
They listened carefully and discerned that it was the sound of helicopter blades spinning.
The Nanyang shamans stopped walking and remained frozen on the spot.
They were confused about what was happening.
They thought their ears were playing tricks on them. How could there be helicopters in the middle of nowhere?
“Oh no, the kid wants to escape again!”
They thought that the kid had summoned a helicopter so that he could run away.
When they looked again, they were stunned.
The same sound was heard in the other direction. Soon, more and more of the helicopters were heard.
The sound of the helicopter blades filled the sky.
They saw helicopters rising into the sky one by one, pointing their searchlights at them.
“All you Nanyang people down there, you have been surrounded! Please do not resist.”
A booming voice from a loudspeaker was heard amid the helicopter sounds.
The Nanyang shamans were utterly confused.
‘What’s going on?’
“Dammit, the kid has someone powerful backing him!”
Many Nanyang shamans came to their senses. They realized what was going on.
“Hmph! What are we afraid of? Don’t forget there’s so many of us!” Grandmaster Toto smirked.
“Kill him!” He roared as he struck the dragon-head staff on the ground.
The Nanyang shamans immediately opened their suitcases. Gusts of smoke rose into the sky and toward the helicopters.
The Nanyang shamans were smirking when they saw that.
However, their smiles soon stiffened on their faces. They saw that in the passenger seat of each helicopter was a person in Taoist robes.
Those were Taoist masters!
The Taoist masters activated their talismans and repelled the clouds of smoke.
Then, cars appeared from both ends of the road. One, two, three…. Countless cars drove into the valley.
The car doors opened, and Taoist masters stepped out of each of them.
Chapter 299 - Wipeout
The Nanyang shamans were all stunned.
They turned around and regarded the Taoist masters that had suddenly appeared with equal parts of shock and fear.
The Taoist masters streamed into the valley one by one, and there seemed to be a countless number of them. They blocked all exits and bore hostile expressions on their faces.
“What’s… What’s going on?”
“Who are they? Where did they come from?”
The Nanyang shamans cried out in surprise.
First, it was military helicopters, then it was the Taoist masters. They were utterly confused by the sudden turn of events.
‘Isn’t he just a random kid? How did he attract so many people?’
Suddenly, someone shouted. “Mao Mountain! They’re from Mao Mountain!”
The Nanyang shamans were shocked when they heard that.
Mao Mountain was one of the luminaries of the Huaxia cultivation world.
They became even more confused. Why would people from Mao Mountain be there? It looked as though they cleared out the entire mountain too. Something was not quite right about the situation no matter how they thought about it.
Even if the kid was related to Mao Mountain, how would he have that much influence to mobilize their entire force?
Unless… the Taoist masters were not happy that the Nanyang shamans were causing trouble in Huaxia and wanted to drive them off?
Grandmaster Toto’s expression was sullen. He did not expect that the entire Mao Mountain would come to the kid’s rescue. He was not sure if they would win against that many Taoist masters.
He thought for a while, then stepped forward. “I am Toto. I believe you have heard about me before?” He roared.
“I’ve brought my people here today not to provoke Huaxia, but for revenge. A debt of blood shall be repaid by blood. I am sure you will agree with that!”
Then, he turned around and pointed at Tang Hao who had exited the car.
