Chapter 259: The Ninth Ancestor is Quite Humorous

This is fucking unreasonable!

Attacking someone from dozens of miles away, and with precision guidance?

It's too terrifying...

The moment he was locked onto by the killing intent, Lin Bai felt his hair stand on end, and without hesitation, he cast the prepared Being Read Mind to interrupt Zhou Zu's technique.

Even so, he still had lingering fears.

If it weren't for the Skill rewarded by the system being effective.

He would have been done for this time.

No wonder the people of the Justice Alliance are all terrified whenever the Great Vehicle Realm is mentioned.

When Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivators encounter the Great Vehicle Realm, it's like ants meeting a human; no matter how many there are, it is of no use.

Counter-killing across realms is a joke; the Xianxia World is not a Wuxia world. If you can't even hit the other person, what is there to talk about regarding counter-killing across realms? The two are simply not on the same level.

What's even more terrifying is the speed of the Great Vehicle Realm; from the moment Zhou Zu appeared in Lin Bai's field of vision, his method of movement was a jumping Flash.

If Lin Bai's Mental Power hadn't been high enough, his eyes probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the speed of his movement.

The Flash rewarded by the Extreme Counter-Kill System hadn't even been distributed to him yet, but the enemy had already mastered this divine ability; Lin Bai felt some resentment in his heart—the Great Vehicle Realm shouldn't be his opponent!

The local gangs are too disrespectful of the rules.

It's a good thing his cheat is effective enough...

Thinking of this, Lin Bai cast aside distracting thoughts, re-edited an image, and flung it toward the suddenly stopped Zhou Zu, still in the image of the Ninth Ancestor: "Bullying the young with your seniority, you truly are unworthy."

At the same time.

Lin Bai also cast the True Word Art, which could only be used once a day, onto Zhou Zu...

Spirits and ghosts fear the wicked; he wanted to set a benchmark for everyone who came to Provocation him. If they could afford the price of provoking him, then by all means, come...

Hum!

The image of the old man that suddenly appeared in his mind gave Zhou Zu a fright.

Who is it?

To be able to invade his sea of consciousness without a sound!

Someone from the Justice Sect?

Lin Bai's protector?

This divine ability must be the means of an immortal!

If one can invade his sea of consciousness, one can destroy it; with such a divine ability, who could still resist?

However, both images flashed by in an instant without causing any damage to his sea of consciousness, allowing Zhou Zu's terrified heart to calm slightly. Perhaps this was just a divine ability for sending messages. He steadied his mind and asked loudly: "Who is the senior?"

"I am the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect."

Lin Bai re-edited an image and sent it over.

Being Read Mind allows the other party to share his thoughts and ideas; he must be fully focused to ensure the image remains clean and pure.

If he were distracted for even a moment, he might send out all the messy things in his mind along with it. That would be ridiculous, and his entire foundation would be exposed.

The system, missions, emotions, the state of the world, players... if these things were exposed, both the natives and the players would go haywire!

Fortunately, his Mental Power is high enough, and having long switched between the system, players, and reality, Lin Bai had long since mastered the skill of multitasking.

Otherwise.

An average person really couldn't handle this Being Read Mind.

Even so, when Lin Bai uses Being Read Mind, he still has to concentrate fully.

This resulted in him being unable to edit too many or too complex images during battle, and he also had to be careful to cut off Being Read Mind whenever he attacked.

Otherwise.

It would be equivalent to informing the opponent of his attack methods in advance.

Ninth Ancestor?

Information about the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect flashed through Zhou Zu's mind instantly:

A powerhouse who excels at Fortune Telling and has the deepest understanding of the Incomplete Dao, who divined the Advent of the Heavenly Descended, divined Lin Bai's Heavenly Dao Fate, and taught the existence capable of foreseeing the future...

Suddenly.

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind again.

Zhou Zu's tense heart calmed down.

Three times in a row, only images and sounds appeared in his mind, proving that this Ninth Ancestor could not cause him any substantial harm.

Perhaps the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect, like the Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators within the sect, has a strength that has broken through the standards the world can withstand and cannot take action in this world, which is why he had to warn him in this way.

And the fact that a Justice Sect ancestor needed to come forward to issue a warning also explains one problem: Lin Bai is not his opponent; otherwise, why go to such unnecessary trouble?

If the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect cannot take action, then the others in the Justice Sect probably cannot take action either!

It is not that they don't want to help Lin Bai, but that their strength is too powerful, transcending this world, forcing Lin Bai to hold his own alone.

That is the only downside to having such high strength!

Once one takes action, it first harms oneself...

Thinking he had figured everything out, Zhou Zu laughed heartily: "So what if you are the Ninth Ancestor? Today I insist on bullying the young with my seniority; the heritage of the Justice Sect shall be buried by my hands today."

The people of the Justice Alliance were collectively stunned.

They looked around; had the Ninth Ancestor arrived?

Xu Longyun subconsciously looked in Zhou Zu's direction, her expression excited; she no longer worried about Lin Bai's safety. Sure enough, the Ninth Ancestor was secretly protecting Lin Bai at all times.

Ye Song was stunned.

As a fellow Great Vehicle Realm cultivator, he naturally sensed Zhou Zu's Qi locking onto Lin Bai, only for it to suddenly vanish; he was just wondering why when he heard Zhou Zu unexpectedly blurt out those words.

Ye Song's expression immediately turned serious, and his Spiritual Sense spread out like a flood, attempting to find the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect hiding in the shadows.

To interrupt Zhou Zu's attack the moment his Qi locked on, the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect must have at least Great Vehicle Realm cultivation.

It was normal for him not to detect a Great Vehicle Realm expert hiding in the dark, but for a Great Vehicle Realm expert to launch an attack while bypassing his perception was truly terrifying!

Yet, despite his overwhelming Spiritual Sense spreading out, he found nothing; the most dazzling presence on the scene remained Zhou Zu.

Ye Song frowned slightly; it wasn't the Great Vehicle Realm—this Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect hiding in the shadows must have at least Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivation. He breathed a sigh of relief; if it were the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, it wouldn't be quite as frightening.

As everyone knows.

Although the Tribulation Transcendence Realm represents the peak of cultivation, in most situations, they do not take action!

……

"What the hell, what happened?"

"Are they already fighting?"

"Did Zhou Zu arrive?"

"Where is he?"

"Damn it, this livestream was for nothing! Are Great Vehicle Realm battles not even within our field of vision? Zero gaming experience!"

"We need to enhance our vision. Otherwise, we won't be able to participate in wars later, and we won't even be able to watch the show."

"Games that pursue realism too much aren't great either; if you can't see the opponent, how is it satisfying to trade blows?"

"My guess is that Zhou Zu was intercepted halfway by the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect, which is why Zhou Zu suddenly blurted out that sentence!"

"The Ninth Ancestor is the one who studies the Incomplete Dao, right!"

"Judging by Zhou Zu's words, he doesn't seem to take the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect seriously at all!"

"Lin Bai will win, go Lin Bai!"

……

Whispers spread among the players; they weren't afraid of death, staying at the scene to livestream while watching the show.

Yet, they were the most confused group of people.

High-level cultivators could at least see a black dot, but their cultivation was tied to their physical stats; without enough cultivation, their five senses were naturally dull, and when things happened, they couldn't even see the black dot.

If Zhou Zu's voice hadn't been loud enough, the players would have thought nothing happened at all!

……

Lin Bai sighed inwardly; the Great Vehicle Realm was indeed not so easy to bluff, and relying solely on Being Read Mind could not stop the opponent.

While he pondered, Zhou Zu's Qi locked onto him once again.

Having no choice, he deployed Being Read Mind again.

The Ninth Ancestor reappeared in Zhou Zu's mind, the old man with a celestial air stroking his beard: "This old man has already achieved Broken Void and is no longer in this world, so naturally I cannot attack you, but who says that if I don't attack, I cannot punish you?"

The image that suddenly appeared in his mind interrupted Zhou Zu's attack again, and he said furiously: "Get out of my sea of consciousness."

The Ninth Ancestor appeared and laughed: "Little brat, if you have the ability, achieve Broken Void and hit me!"

Zhou Zu gritted his teeth: "Despicable!"

The Ninth Ancestor appeared: "Despicable is the passport of the despicable, noble is the epitaph of the noble; when cultivation reaches my level, the emotions of mortals can no longer affect me."

Zhou Zu: "……"

The Ninth Ancestor: "I'm here!"

The Ninth Ancestor: "I'm gone."

The Ninth Ancestor: "I'm here again."

The Ninth Ancestor: "I come when I want, I go when I want; what can you do to me?"

The Ninth Ancestor stuck out his tongue: "Blehh, blehh, blehh, blehh, I'll make you mad!"

The Ninth Ancestor turned around and patted his butt: "Come and hit me!"

The Ninth Ancestor did a yangge dance: "Believe it or not, I can play with you all day? With me here, if you can hit Lin Bai, count it as my loss..."

……

DDOS bombardment!

Having been locked onto by Qi several times and having defeated them with Being Read Mind, Lin Bai suddenly realized the magical aspect of this Skill; not everyone was like him, harassed by over a dozen systems at all times, capable of multitasking.

Great Vehicle Realm cultivators might have sufficiently powerful Spirit Souls, but they preferred focused combat; they might have enough energy to deal with external interference, but they were defenseless against attacks targeting their thoughts.

Zhou Zu was also interesting; he always used Qi locking before attacking.

For others, Qi locking might be pressure that creates psychological strain, but Lin Bai's Spirit Soul was powerful enough to ignore any pressure; the so-called Qi locking was more like a signal for an attack—once locked, he just had to counterattack...

As for the image of the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect?

Who decreed that a reclusive master must be serious?

The Ninth Ancestor is humorous, is that not allowed?

……

The Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect was like a fly, constantly jumping in and out of his mind, and after maintaining a master's image at the very beginning, his subsequent words and behavior were simply unsightly...

But no matter what methods Zhou Zu used, he could not stop the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect from entering and exiting his sea of consciousness.

All sorts of chaotic images kept flashing in his mind, and he was nearly going crazy; how could there be such a shameless divine ability in this world?

How could there be such a shameless ancestor?

Sticking out his tongue, patting his butt—did he really not care about his image at all?

However, his deduction was correct: the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect truly could not harm him!

But he was also wrong; although the Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect could not hit him, he could disgust him, and this uninterrupted chatter was enough to disrupt his attack rhythm.

It was fortunate that Lin Bai had not yet launched an attack; otherwise, if the two had been in the heat of a fierce battle, the sudden appearance of the Justice Sect Ancestor in his mind to cause such a disturbance would have surely led to his defeat!

"Enough! What kind of skill is it to bully the weak with your strength?" Zhou Zu roared, his eyes red and his voice frantic. "As the dignified Ancestor of the Justice Sect, do you only know how to use such low-class tactics?"

Lin Bai smiled.

The Ninth Ancestor of the Justice Sect reappeared, returning to a serious demeanor: "Zhou Zu, having witnessed the power of this Ancestor, how about joining my Justice Sect?"

Zhou Zu roared: "I would rather die than join the Justice Sect! You have gone to such great lengths to humiliate me, merely because you fear Lin Bai. Today, I shall slay Lin Bai right before your eyes and dig up the roots of your Justice Sect; only then can I dispel the hatred of today's humiliation..."

As he spoke.

He stared fixedly in Lin Bai's direction, forcing himself to ignore the Justice Sect Ancestor in his mind, and raised his hand: "Lin Bai, die."

The next second.

Ten Ninth Ancestors of the Justice Sect appeared simultaneously in Zhou Zu's mind, and at the same time, they lifted their lower robes, turned around, and actually began to urinate inside Zhou Zu's mind.

The scene Zhou Zu saw in his mind was ten old men with their backs to him, shooting out ten yellowish columns of water, and at the spot where the water landed, a person was lying—it was none other than himself...

"Waaah!"

Such a humiliating scene once again stimulated Zhou Zu, and the Qi-Spirit-God he had managed to gather was interrupted once more.

The image vanished.

Zhou Zu had not yet recovered his senses.

Bang!

An anvil used by a Blacksmith for forging fell from the sky, catching him off guard and smashing onto his head. The jade hairpin holding his hair bun shattered on the spot, and his neatly combed hair instantly fell loose.

With his Great Vehicle Realm cultivation, every item on Zhou Zu's body was a Dharma Treasure, yet the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set hit its mark every single time...

What he did not expect was that Lin Bai's Blacksmith Six-Piece Set could not even be blocked by his Great Vehicle Realm protective Dharma Treasure!

Lin Bai was also despicable, actually taking advantage of the Justice Sect Ancestor's harassment to ruin his Dharma Treasure!

The people of the Justice Sect were truly despicable!

At this moment.

Zhou Zu was truly about to be driven mad by the Justice Sect; from the moment he saw Lin Bai until now, he hadn't even launched a single move!

Despicable, shameless!

The Justice Sect should disappear from this world...

"Great Meteor Technique!"

The Justice Sect Ancestor suddenly appeared in the sky above his head. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen meteors fell from the sky, crashing toward his head. Zhou Zu was startled and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The sky was perfectly clear; there was nothing there!

The meteors in his mind suddenly vanished.

Tricked!

This thought had just emerged in Zhou Zu's mind.

Rip!

A harsh, tearing sound.

His Daoist robe was slashed open by the Blacksmith's Fire Tongs...

Zhou Zu glared angrily at Lin Bai. No longer using long-range attacks, he channeled his Divine Foot Technique and sprinted rapidly toward Zhen City.

He wanted to expose the shamelessness of the Justice Sect to the world; he wanted to get close to Lin Bai and destroy him with the most ruthless means right under the eyes of the Justice Sect Ninth Ancestor.

Most importantly.

He could not continue standing there motionless.

These two fellows coordinated too perfectly!

Lin Bai's Blacksmith Six-Piece Set could hit him; he was definitely in the Great Vehicle Realm, and in a two-on-one fight, he was certainly no match...

Zhou Zu also discovered a pattern.

When the Ninth Ancestor appeared in his mind, the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set would disappear, and when the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set appeared, the Ninth Ancestor would disappear.

The interval between the two was very short, but they would never appear at the same time.

He had to kill Lin Bai during this interval; if that were the case, long-range assassination would definitely not work.

Zhou Zu's figure flickered up and down, left and right, dodging the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set that might appear at any moment, closing in on Lin Bai at top speed. He was most proficient in Escape Technique, which was already perfected and as natural as breathing, so even with the Ninth Ancestor popping up in his mind from time to time, it did not affect his use of Escape Technique.

Zhou Zu's Flash movements made Lin Bai's Blacksmith Six-Piece Set ineffective; this fellow's speed was too fast, and just as the six-piece set reached him, he would Flash away...

Lin Bai praised him inwardly; he was indeed worthy of the Great Vehicle Realm, much harder to deal with than the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Little did he know.

Another Great Vehicle Realm cultivator on the city tower, Ye Song, was already watching in a daze.

At the scene.

Aside from Lin Bai, he had the best view.

He clearly saw Zhou Zu go from arrogant to driven mad by the stimulation, saw him get hit by Lin Bai's Blacksmith Six-Piece Set, and heard Zhou Zu talking to himself, cursing the Ninth Ancestor for being shameless...

But he still could not figure out what method the Justice Sect Ninth Ancestor was using to attack!

If one did not understand the method of attack, one could not defend against it!

If one could not defend, it meant that if he were to fight Lin Bai, he would end up in the same state as Zhou Zu, and this was definitely not the result he wanted...
