Wang Chuyi chuckled and said, "Wei Zi, do you really think that just because of the little trash left by your ancestors, you can stop me? What a joke! I don't even need the Forbidden Technique; I can easily defeat you."
Wei Qiuxi, although highly skilled in Daoism, knew deep down that he was far from Wang Tuozi, this arrogant prodigy. He remained silent, suddenly raising his Red Umbrella and launching an attack. Wang Tuozi shouted, "Good move!" His palms flew as he attacked Wei Qiuxi from three different angles. The two exchanged blows, and within moments, they had already gone through ten moves. Wang Tuozi laughed and said, "Wei Qiuxi, if you don't use the Five Thunder Palm today, you won't be able to defeat me." He fought casually, clearly not using his full strength.
Wei Qiuxi transformed his Red Umbrella into a sword and thrust it directly at Wang Tuozi. Wang Tuozi chuckled and said, "What a ridiculous move! Even a three-year-old could break it." With that, he swiftly dodged to Wei Qiuxi's left side, turning his palm into a blade and striking at Wei Qiuxi's soft underbelly. A burst of light scattered from Wei Qiuxi's body as he staggered back, blood surging within him. Fortunately, he wasn't injured; he thought to himself that if it weren't for his Earth Spirit Barrier, he would have been severely wounded by now. He quickly retreated, green energy swirling around him as a faint image of a green dragon appeared in the air. Wang Tuozi laughed and said, "Wei, you're cheating! If we’re going to rely on our own abilities, why are you using Dao techniques?"
Wei Qiuxi's face turned pale as he remained silent. The green dragon roared and twisted in the air like a dragon drinking water, clouds swirling around it and transforming the underground cavern into a fairyland.
Wang Tuozi laughed heartily and stepped forward with his Yubu stance. He formed hand seals and shouted, "Boys, nine against one—can you handle it?" Nine phoenixes hovering in the air responded with loud cries and soared toward the green dragon conjured by Wei Qiuxi. Wei Qiuxi waved his hands; the green dragon flicked its tail and knocked three fire phoenixes out of the sky. Wang Tuozi remained unfazed and shouted, "Your green dragon's energy belongs to wood in the five elements while my Nine Phoenixes belong to fire. Wei, tell me—should your green dragon be braised or stewed?"
Wei Qiuxi didn't respond but commanded the green dragon to roar and spiral in the air. Wang Tuozi continued, "If you don’t answer, I’ll assume you want it braised! Boys, burn it! Once it's cooked, you'll have dragon soup to drink." At Wang Tuozi's command, the Nine Phoenixes rallied with renewed vigor and unleashed a torrent of flames toward the green dragon. The dragon let out a mournful cry as it twisted in midair, covered in wounds and continuously lamenting.
Wei Qiuxi muttered under his breath, "Damn it." He executed a move that drew energy from the ground to infuse into the body of the green dragon. Sweat poured down his face as he clearly struggled. Meanwhile, Wang Tuozi appeared relaxed; as the green dragon absorbed Wei Qiuxi's Earth Spirit energy, it surged back into action. Its tail swept out again and knocked down three more phoenixes. Six of Wang Chuyi's Nine Phoenixes were gone yet he seemed completely unconcerned. "Wei," he said casually, "your skills are quite impressive. However, if we keep fighting here without purpose, why not go see Wei Xianjun’s Old Ghost? Perhaps I can even greet him."
Ignoring both the Nine Phoenixes and Wei Qiuxi, he dashed toward the room. Wei Qiuxi's face turned pale; if Wei Xianjun's corpse fell into Wang Tuozi's hands, he would be at a significant disadvantage. He quickly pursued after him but unexpectedly saw Wang Chuyi halt abruptly as they brushed past each other. There stood Wang Tuozi nonchalantly tossing a Red Pearl up and down. Realizing what was happening made Wei Qiuxi curse inwardly; he reached into his robe only to find that the Red Pearl given to him by Wei Ning had been stolen by Wang Tuozi.
"What’s wrong? My skill of empty-handedness isn’t rusty yet," Wang Tuozi taunted with a mischievous grin.
"You..." Wei Qiuxi never expected Wang Tuozi would resort to such despicable tactics; anger surged through him.
Wang Tuozi tossed the Red Pearl into the air and instantly absorbed Liu Linglang and Ding Ying before putting them away in his robe. He chuckled wickedly and said, "Thanks! This is your place for honoring your ancestors. I am Wang Tuozi—no father or mother—disrespectful above and below; I won’t disturb your reverence for your predecessors' memories. I’m starting to think that I’m better suited for bathhouses instead. If you see Wei again, tell him that his master is still his master as long as he acknowledges me." With that final remark, Wang Tuozi’s playful demeanor shifted slightly towards seriousness.
"You can take this Drought Corpse if you want," Wei Qiuxi sighed and said. "I've done my best; if this Drought Corpse takes shape in the end, then that's fate. If fate punishes humanity, no one can stop it. But Old Wang, do you really think this Drought Corpse can change destiny?"
Wang Chuyi paused for a moment before nodding slowly then shaking his head again with a long sigh: "Do what you can; leave the rest to fate."
"Wei Qiuxi said, 'This is probably the last piece of advice I can give you as a lifelong friend, Old Wang. Some things, you should just let go. Don't take it too seriously and create an irreparable situation. If you anger the higher-ups, no one will be able to save you then.'
Wang Tuozi remained silent.
Wei Qiuxi sighed and said despondently, 'Wang Tuozi, you truly deserve the title of Master of Blessing in this era. If you were willing to assist the Wei Family, how could we possibly fear a mere Wei Xian Gui?'
As Wang Tuozi was about to leave, he paused at Wei Qiuxi's words, his body trembling slightly. After a long silence, he replied, 'I will consider it for now. If it becomes truly difficult, have Wei come find me; it will be... a debt I owe him.'
With that, he strode out.
After watching Wang Tuozi leave, Wei Qiuxi suddenly heard a clattering sound behind him. Wei Ning had stepped out with purpose.
Wei Qiuxi glanced at Wei Ning. She was still the same Wei Ning, but her demeanor and aura had changed significantly. If he had to find a word to describe this transformation, it would be: ethereal.
Wei Ning's eyes sparkled as she asked, 'Grandfather, did my master come by?'
'Yes. He took that girl and Liu Linglang with him.'
Wei Ning nodded and said, 'My master is calm and calculating. Whatever he decides to do, he will see it through. If we can assist him in any way, we should do so. After all, once a teacher, always a father. Without my master, I might have turned into a pile of bones long ago.'
Wei Qiuxi forced a smile filled with sorrow. 'Helping him... I'm afraid that's not something you or I can manage right now.'"
