Mortal Mirror

Within the confined space where the Little Crane Pavilion was sealed, Blind Wu had believed he could overcome Thin Dragon and Fat Tiger with his martial arts prowess. Who would have thought he underestimated their combat abilities?

The reason these two had a small reputation in the martial world was because they cultivated a combined martial technique. Separately, they were ordinary cultivators, but together, they were incredibly formidable.

One wielding a saber, the other a sword, their coordinated attacks made Wu realize he was no match for them. After an intense bout, Wu began to suffer continuous injuries.

Fortunately, he exerted all his strength and unleashed his ultimate move, the Xuanlong Palm. This palm technique caused the heavens and earth to change color. In the hard clash, he was severely injured, and Thin Tiger and Fat Dragon fared no better.

The immense power leveled the entire Little Crane Pavilion, which was the scene Li Ergou witnessed upon his arrival.

At this moment, Blind Wu was heavily injured by the black giant palm, a look of despair flashing in his eyes. After all, he had hidden for many years to guard that secret, and ultimately, he wouldn't have the chance to enjoy it. He was unwilling.

Had he known this would happen, he shouldn't have waited all those years. He might as well have destroyed the thing back then.

Just then, a beam of aurora flew from the sky, arriving before Thin Tiger and Fat Dragon in the blink of an eye. The newcomer was dressed in a black Daoist robe, had a kidney-shaped face, and a three-inch-long wisp of beard under his chin. His eyebrows were half an inch longer than normal, drooping downwards, and his eyes flashed with an icy light that inspired awe.

As soon as this person appeared, he waved his sleeve, placed one hand behind his back, and stroked his beard lightly, exuding an air of superiority.

Such arrogant figures as Thin Dragon and Fat Tiger immediately greeted him respectfully, "Shishu."

It turned out this person was their Shishu, Daoist name Xuan Snake.

He snorted and said, "Such a trivial matter requires me to personally intervene. Truly useless. After you return, each of you will receive fifty lashes from the Divine Whip at Thunderwind Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, their expressions changed. The Divine Whip was a thorny vine, shaped like a dragon and snake, hence the name. Being struck by it was like having your tendons pulled and bones scraped. Even a giant made of steel couldn't withstand it.

At this thought, they couldn't help but tremble. However, Xuan Snake was overbearing, and they could only carefully say, "We obey."

In this world, there's always a greater evil to subdue evil, one mountain higher than another. But, this is the good thing about sects; if the younger generation fails, the older generation steps in.

With Xuan Snake personally appearing, Blind Wu was truly facing a hopeless situation.

Li Ergou and Ye Wanwan were dumbfounded by the scene before them. Li Ergou was stunned and said, "What's going on? What is this blind man's identity that he can provoke such a powerful Yuan Ying stage cultivator? It seems we were deceived by this blind man's appearance.

This person doesn't seem simple either."

Ye Wanwan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, aren't those Thin Dragon and Fat Tiger? Those two are no ordinary people; they have a small reputation in the martial world. They were both injured by this blind man.

Ergou-ge, there's something going on here; it's not simple."

Based on Li Ergou's years of experience in handling cases, he already sensed something unusual, but that Yuan Ying cultivator was not to be trifled with. He couldn't interfere in this matter.

It wouldn't be worth risking his life just to inquire about something.

He was certainly not a benevolent person. With that thought, he could only stand by and watch the show.

Blind Wu's pupils contracted upon seeing Xuan Snake, his eyes filled with despair. If he still had a chance against Thin Dragon and Fat Tiger, he truly had no hope against Xuan Snake.

Xuan Snake looked at Blind Wu, a fierce light in his eyes, and coldly snorted, "Blind man, are you still stubborn? I'll give you one more chance. Tell me the location of that thing, and I might spare your life.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and making you wish you were dead."

Blind Wu had heard of Xuan Snake's methods. If he fell into his hands, his life and death would no longer be his own. He also knew that this person was two-faced and had no credibility.

Back then, he had even stabbed his own Shixiong in the back to compete for a woman.

After this matter was exposed, he shamelessly said that he could stab himself for his brothers and stab his brothers for women.

Some in the martial world joked that he was the leader of the 'Stabbing Cult,' specializing in stabbing his own brothers. Thus, his infamous reputation spread far and wide.

Believing his words was worse than believing ghosts. With that thought, Blind Wu looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Little girl, are you afraid of death?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head and said, "Grandpa, I'm not afraid."

Blind Wu's eyes were filled with heartache as he said, "Good, my good granddaughter. Grandpa will take you away with him."

With that, he raised his hand to kill the girl, but just at this critical moment, a cold snort came from the sky, "Xuan Snake, you're going too far. I'll protect this Blind Wu."

As soon as this voice was heard, everyone saw a figure flash on the street. An old woman with a dragon-head cane, wearing a worn-out armor, and with a head full of silver hair, appeared before Blind Wu.

No one knew how old this old woman was. Although her hair was white, the skin on her face was as delicate as a baby's. The power emanating from her was also at the Yuan Ying stage.

What was most strange was that the armor she wore looked old and tattered, covered with scars, yet it gave people a sense of ancient and domineering aura. It was truly strange.

Li Ergou couldn't help but sigh when he saw this person appear, "Eh, are Yuan Ying stage experts so worthless now? This small Heavenly Dog Town is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I'm afraid even Fish City wouldn't casually produce two Yuan Ying stage cultivators."

Ye Wanwan nodded continuously and said, "Of course. Do you really think Yuan Ying cultivators are cabbages? I wonder who this old woman is. How mighty and domineering."

At this time, someone said, "Eh, it's actually the Lu family's grandmother. How is that possible? Such a kind old woman is actually a great cultivator? This... she's hidden herself so well."

"Isn't this Lu Changsheng's grandmother? She's also a great cultivator. This is too shocking."

Hearing everyone's discussions, Li Ergou learned one thing: this old woman was actually his good brother Lu Changsheng's grandmother.

Lu Changsheng, that was his best friend and brother. He never expected his grandmother to be so powerful. What was strange was that his grandmother was so powerful, why didn't she personally teach him the methods of the Divine Path?

Ah, never mind. After all, cultivators' thoughts are very unusual. No one knows what they're thinking. But he thought there must be her own reasons.

At this moment, Li Ergou looked at Lu Changsheng's grandmother, perhaps because of his relationship with his brother, and felt a sense of inexplicable closeness.

Xuan Snake glanced at the old woman and asked with some doubt, "Eh, who exactly are you?"
