"Where’s the Taoist from?"
Tie Dan raised his head and stood up,
"Nine Yin Mountain! Beichen Sword Sect!"
The mass of threadworms revolved once, and finally, from the end of the thread, an old man’s face emerged. Through the whale’s retina, it seemed like peering through the glass window of a ship, examining Tie Dan.
"Never heard of it."
Tie Dan opened his eyes wide,
"You’re talking nonsense! Isn’t Penglai also part of the Mystic Sect? How could you not have heard of My Sword Sect!"
The threadworm man’s face wrinkled together,
"Where’s the Mystic Sect?"
Tie Dan saw that the guy seemed genuinely confused and felt a bit uneasy. Could it be that in just five hundred years, not only was Nine Yin Sword Sect eradicated, but even the Mystic Sect was wiped out with no one knowing about it? Impossible!
"Stop pretending, you old fox! You also practice Thunder Skill! You’re on the Righteous Path! You could still take one of my moves, at least Returning Void Refining God level! How could you not know about the Mystic Sect!? Who carved Penglai on your forehead!"
However, the threadworm man was still puzzled,
"What is fox?"
Tie Dan was speechless for a moment, what kind of nonsense is this, clearly everyone is the same, practicing Refining God and Returning to Void, refined until non-human shape, clearly same sect same path same hometown, why can’t we continue this conversation?
Then Spider Xi whispered in his ear,
"Brother Xuantian! Hurry up, hurry up! Machine thunder! Machine thunder is coming!"
"Machine thunder? Wasn’t it supposed to detect no threat?"
Tie Dan, with so many eyes, naturally noticed that in the void surrounding him, containers were opening like pouring rain, shooting dense metal spikes, set to fly within speed limits — knowing that was the so-called machine thunder.
Spider Xi,
"You pose a threat! The machine thunder is aimed at you!"
"Damn! Using me as a target, huh!"
"Wooing——"
However, before Tie Dan could retreat, three-headed ’whale people’ suddenly opened their mouths, resonating loudly together, and waves of Primordial Spirit reverberated through the void!
Then the dense machine thunder rain directly whooshed past Tie Dan, all landing into the mouths of the ’whale people.’ Simultaneously, those fleshy tentacles inside the whale’s mouth extended out, grabbing towards the surrounding containers, swallowing them all.
Spider Xi hurriedly whispered in his ear,
"Brother Xuantian! Quickly stop them! The Great Demon is eating all the machine thunder!"
"Why stop them! Let the machine thunder hit me?"
"Whoa——!"
Then the Border Army cruiser fired again. Probably because the previous entropy energy splitting cannon was too weak, this time it switched to light spear.
In a flash, four red spears shot across Tie Dan’s head, piercing straight into the ’Penglai Whale People’s’ back, creating four large holes, directly penetrating the giant whale!
Hmm... probably aiming at him again...
And still completely ineffective. Although it pierced through, the wounds on the whale people themselves were way more severe than mere four holes, healing in almost an instant.
After all, they are entities that can traverse the void physically. This ’whale’ is probably at the Refining God and Returning Void level, but why are organic spacecraft so popular these days...
At this moment, the threadworm gently spoke in his ear,
"Could this place be your Daoist field? Are these demons the disciples and spiritual pets nurtured by your sect?"
Tie Dan grumbled,
"I don’t have such incompetent troublemakers..."
Spider Xi hurriedly communicated across the channel,
"Ah yes, yes! Brother Xuantian is a brother of the army! Naturally, we are brothers’ brothers!"
Tie Dan, "..."
But the threadworm seemed to accept the communication, saying courteously,
"Blessed Infinite Heavenly Venerable, I, Xianwei, am a poor Taoist, wandering the Void Heaven, accidentally entering your domain, famished, dare to ask for a meal and a night’s stay, not daring to disturb further, only wishing master peace and joy, long-lasting Daoist energy."
Spider Xi hastily responded,
"Good, good, having a friend from afar is not a cause for joy! All friends! All brothers! Please come in, please come in!"
"Hold on!"
However, Tie Dan frowned and stopped, deciding to restart,
"May I inquire where does the Three Mountains Bloodline reside, what is your master’s name?"
The threadworm replied,
"I forgot."
Nonsense...
Tie Dan glared at the threadworm, glanced at the other two whales, pointed to the massive heap of corpses inside the whale carcass,
"What about them? With such large letters carved on their foreheads, Penglai should still remember!"
The threadworm explained,
"Oh, they’re not humans, they’re the Three Corpses I cut. After all, being trapped in the void for too long, if you don’t completely forget past events, you might become possessed by demon."
Tie Dan sharply caught the opening,
"Then who taught you the Three Corpses Cutting Method?"
The threadworm thought for a moment,
"I don’t remember... but seemed like a bastard."
