Chapter 153 Wood Attribute User
Funeral meal?
Why do I have this strange premonition?
Lu Jiutang himself did not understand why he suddenly had such an inexplicable reaction, and a ripple of emotions surged within him. In an instant, that indescribable familial affection climbed back to his heart.
Perhaps what the lady said is true; after all, he is still my biological father. Without him, how could I possibly exist in this world?
Before long, footsteps were heard as Wu Ma led Orchid Daoist into the dining room.
It was completely unexpected for Orchid Daoist that his son would invite him to a meal.
The past few days had been quite difficult for Orchid Daoist. When he received the call from Xue Rui saying that his little jj had been cut off in a dream, he realized the severity of the situation. It must have been done by Xiao Yun; no one else could have done it.
He never imagined that Xiao Yun would possess such immense power, something beyond his imagination. After a moment of shock and horror, he deeply regretted coming to Galaxy City. It was truly a grave mistake.
At this moment, Orchid Daoist finally gained some self-awareness!
The premonition ability of practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts is quite strong. He realized that Xiao Yun would not let him off easily; a direct confrontation between them was unavoidable. This confrontation would undoubtedly be a fight between life and death.
Ultimately, who will prevail depends on fate.
Even the Heavens can doze off at times, but whose side will they take?
He even regretted leaving home when he was young. He should have stayed with his wife and children by the warm stove. Even if life was mundane, it was better than risking danger everywhere. Living a peaceful and stable life was far preferable.
Greed is a common flaw among many people.
Ahem...
As Wu Ma entered the restaurant and saw his unfamiliar son and daughter-in-law sitting at the table, Orchid Daoist felt a wave of embarrassment. He stood awkwardly to the side like a servant, waiting for his master's instructions.
“Dad, um, please sit here!” Lu Jiutang stood up and greeted the old man, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Lu Jiutang's greeting surprised Cold Brow, who was also very pleased. A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes as she smiled broadly and said to Orchid Daoist, “Dad, please take a seat!”
Orchid Daoist sat down in surprise, his eyes fixed on the lavish spread of dishes before him, unable to resist swallowing his saliva.
“Wu Ma, bring out the wine!” Cold Brow instructed Wu Ma.
Soon, Wu Ma presented a local ten-year-old fine wine.
Cold Brow personally poured wine for Orchid Daoist and Lu Jiutang while also filling her own glass.
Orchid Daoist raised his glass and couldn't help but glance at Lu Jiutang with deep emotion. He sighed, “I’m so happy. I’m really happy to see my son's achievements today and to have such a wise daughter-in-law. I truly am very happy! If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have acted so foolishly back then!”
Just as he was about to drink it all in one go, suddenly a blue light fell from the air and hovered above his head before vanishing in an instant.
Crash!
Orchid Daoist's expression froze as the cup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
An unbearable pain instantly spread throughout his body.
At the moment when his consciousness began to fade, a question sprang to his mind: Have I also been placed under Song Chaoyang's Mind Control Cicada?
In an instant, he could no longer control himself.
“Dad, what… what’s wrong with you?”
“Dad, you…”
Lu Jiutang and Cold Brow both exclaimed in shock.
Suddenly, Orchid Daoist's complexion turned a shade of dark purple, his single eye reddened, revealing a wolf-like ferocity, and he emitted a strange laugh from his mouth.
This sudden change left Lu Jiutang and his wife in utter horror.
“Who are you?”
Orchid Daoist glared with blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent at his son and daughter-in-law, questioning them.
It seemed he could no longer recognize them.
“I’m your daughter-in-law, Cold Brow.”
“Uh, I’m your son!”
“Cold Brow? What a beautiful Freak of a woman, I like…” Orchid Daoist completely ignored his son standing beside him, grinning lewdly as he approached Cold Brow step by step.
“What… what do you want?” Cold Brow retreated in fear.
"Orchid Daoist" chuckled strangely, "Beautiful Woman, I just want to get a little close to you, uh, don't be afraid!"
With lightning speed, he pulled "Cold Brow" into his embrace. In a flash, one hand tore her upper garment apart, exposing half of her soft, white skin to the air.
"Old beast!"
"Lu Jiutang" was furious, his liver and gallbladder aching with rage as he shouted and threw a punch.
The wind from the punch whistled, filled with killing intent.
Bang!
The fist struck "Orchid Daoist" as if hitting a thick iron plate. "Lu Jiutang" was instead knocked back several steps, a sharp pain shooting through his hand.
Crack… "Orchid Daoist" remained unfazed, grinning as he laid the unconscious "Cold Brow" on the ground and leaped forward…
Ding!
Another blue light fell upon him.
His expression stiffened again as "Half-Flower Daoist" straightened up like a zombie, his single eye glowing with a ghostly light.
"Is my master calling me?" he muttered to himself in a daze.
"Wu Ma," who seemed to have regained some clarity from the shock, rushed toward the door, shouting, "Not good! Someone's coming—"
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and then dozens of bodyguards burst in from outside.
"Vice Hall Master, what's wrong?"
"Vice Hall Master, what happened?"
"Ah, what happened to Madam Hall Master..."
Then they saw Orchid Daoist standing in the center of the restaurant like a puppet, and Lu Jiutang's face looked worse than that of a dead person.
"Grab this old fool!" Lu Jiutang shouted angrily, pointing at Orchid Daoist. At that moment, he even had the urge to kill him.
The bodyguards rushed forward.
Bang, bang, bang...
With a series of screams, all the bodyguards fell to the ground.
Orchid Daoist did not make a move; he merely let out a howl like a wolf. Suddenly, all the wooden furniture in the restaurant seemed to come alive, flying into the air and crashing down violently onto the bodyguards.
His howl could actually...
Lu Jiutang's expression changed as he suddenly realized something...
Just as he was filled with horror, Orchid Daoist let out another howl: "Master, your subordinate has arrived..."
Crash!
A shadow broke through the window.
"Follow him!" Lu Jiutang commanded the pigeon on his shoulder.
Whoosh!
Coo...
Like a bolt of lightning, the White Dove flew out of the window.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The trees lining the street seemed to be startled, their branches swaying wildly and leaves flying everywhere.
There was not a hint of wind on the street, yet dozens of thick trees were uprooted.
All the pedestrians were stunned. What was happening?
At that moment, they saw a shadow dart past the treetops.
What was that?
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Yun, sitting in a taxi, had just returned to the Galactic District and happened to witness this peculiar scene. His Spiritual Sense quickly swept over, and his expression changed instantly.
He recognized that shadow; it was the Orchid Daoist.
At the same time, he saw him flying toward Wohu Mountain.
"Could this Orchid Daoist be a Wood Attribute User?"
Little Bell communicated with Xiao Yun through thought in the Storage Ring.
She recognized the Orchid Daoist who had just swept past from the treetops.
On his way back from Jade Maiden Town, Xiao Yun knew that Song Tianxing had kidnapped Nie Xiaoqian and must have had a meticulous plan. To ensure the successful rescue of Nie Xiaoqian, he awakened Little Bell, hoping she could secretly assist him.
"What is a Wood Attribute User?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
Little Bell replied, "An Attribute User is a branch within the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. It is said that under certain fortuitous circumstances, a person's brain can undergo a special mutation that awakens a unique ability hidden within their body, known as an attribute, such as fire, wood, water, earth, light, electricity, and even all sorts of unimaginable attributes. As long as it exists on Earth, it can be derived."
"The reasons for this mutation," Little Bell continued, "are partly due to cultivation. In the early formation of humanity, the human body contained many extraordinary functions. However, as humans evolved, these functions gradually disappeared. Thus, some people began to attempt to restore their extraordinary abilities, leading to the emergence of a specialized group of Attribute Cultivators, also known as the Exotic Arts Sect. The individuals within the Exotic Arts Sect each possess unique powers that are beyond what ordinary people can imagine."
"I didn't expect you to know so much, Bird Woman!" Xiao Yun laughed and praised her.
Little Bell sneered and said, "Kid, it seems like it's almost time for you to cry. Do you know? With my sensing ability, it feels like a very strong aura of danger is approaching us."
Xiao Yun knew that Little Bell's perception was quite strong. He remembered when Orchid Daoist first came to Galactic Time with the Sky Valley Trio; she sensed danger even before they arrived.
This time, Little Bell's reaction was even more intense. From her tone, he understood that tonight's trip to Wohu Mountain was anything but ordinary.
However, Xiao Yun couldn't figure out why he hadn't noticed Orchid Daoist being a Wood Attribute User during their first encounter. After not seeing him for some time, how could he suddenly possess such powerful energy? The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
