Chapter 570 Encounter
After getting the answers they wanted from the old man and the other two, the two White Tiger Venerables exchanged a glance.
"We should not delay. Let's return to the White Tiger Temple and report the news to the Temple Master. These divine beings from Qishan overseas are not easy to deal with. If we are late, it may be too late."
One of the White Tiger Venerables spoke up, and upon hearing this, the White Tiger Venerable who controlled the Heart-Knocking Cauldron nodded slightly. He then prepared to take the three, including the old man who had lost his self-awareness, back to the White Tiger Temple.
But just then, a deep, resonant voice, like the distant sound of a morning bell or evening drum, slowly drifted from the horizon, saying:
"Please wait a moment, my three clansmen."
Both White Tiger Venerables frowned, then looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a middle-aged man in a white robe with cloud patterns appear in an instant, arriving several feet in front of them from the horizon.
The middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns stood quietly in the air, blocking the path of the two White Tiger Venerables as they left.
"It's one thing for you people from overseas to cause trouble in our Western Desert region, but now you dare to show yourselves so openly. You really don't take us, the two Venerables of the White Tiger Temple, seriously!"
One of the White Tiger Venerables spoke coldly. Although he knew that the middle-aged man with cloud patterns in front of him was not simple, he was not afraid at all.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns glanced over the three captured men, including the old man, and after confirming that they were unharmed, his expression softened slightly.
"If I have offended the White Tiger Temple in any way before, I apologize to you both. But now that you have obtained the information you wanted, please spare my three clansmen."
The middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns turned to the two White Tiger Venerables before him and spoke. However, the two White Tiger Venerables naturally could not agree to the man's request. One of the White Tiger Venerables narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Since you dared to risk entering Baidi City, you must have some reason to be confident. However, we cannot release the person."
"If you want to save people, then there are only two outcomes: either you take them away by your own ability, or you stay here with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the White Tiger Venerables suddenly raised his hand and reached out to grab the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns, who was several feet away.
At such close range, the vast and powerful martial arts true energy within his body almost instantly sealed off the space within a radius of ten feet, transforming it into an indestructible cage of true essence, intending to imprison him here and not give him any chance to escape.
Faced with the White Tiger Venerable's sudden attack, the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns remained unfazed. As the opponent's palm came down from mid-air, his entire body became transparent in an instant, and then transformed into a human-shaped water ball.
As the powerful martial arts true energy of the White Tiger Venerable struck down, the humanoid water ball was instantly compressed under the terrifying force, and then exploded into a large patch of white mist. At the same time, the figure of the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns was completely invisible within a radius of ten feet.
Seeing this, the White Tiger Venerable who made the move raised an eyebrow. He naturally did not think that he could be dealt with so easily as the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns.
Just then, the voice of a middle-aged man in a white robe with cloud patterns echoed through the empty air, saying:
"Nothing in the world is more yielding and weak than water, yet nothing can surpass it in overcoming the hard and strong!"
As his voice, seemingly coming from all directions, fell, the entire sky above the two White Tiger Venerables instantly transformed into a vast ocean.
The air rippled like water, and the entire space rose and fell like ocean waves, with everything within it drifting with the current.
The two White Tiger Venerables present, however, remained indifferent and watched from the sidelines.
"Your mere talent and divine ability are nothing but a minor matter. Do you think you can deal with us with that?" The White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Piercing Cauldron, spoke disdainfully. He flicked his finger, and an invisible force rippled outwards in all directions, directly piercing through the vast ocean space in front of him.
In an instant, the churning, trembling water in the entire space shattered like a mirror, then transformed into a torrential downpour that poured down onto the ground below.
Amidst the falling rain, the White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Pounding Cauldron, sneered, clearly indicating that he found the methods of the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns utterly inadequate.
Meanwhile, another White Tiger Venerable was concentrating and closing his eyes, carefully sensing and investigating the whereabouts of the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns who had already concealed his figure.
However, before he could find the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns, the man's elusive voice seemed to come from both near and far, saying:
"Since I am in Baidi City, I will naturally not entangle myself with the two from the White Tiger Temple for too long. Similarly, I hope that the two of them will not relentlessly pursue us."
Upon hearing these words from the middle-aged man in the white robe with cloud patterns, both White Tiger Venerables frowned.
Clearly, neither of them understood the other's unrelated meaning at first glance.
However, soon, the White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Knocking Cauldron, suddenly changed his expression and looked sharply at the three people beside him who were imprisoned.
The three people who had been restrained and controlled by him were now sweating profusely.
At first, the sweat appeared densely on the three people's skin like morning dew, but in the blink of an eye, the three people looked as if they had been pulled out of a pool of water, their hair and clothes were soaked through, and water was still dripping from them.
Something's not right!
The White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Knocking Cauldron, immediately noticed the problem and reached out to grab the old man and the other two.
The next moment, however, his hand grasped nothing at all. The three people who had been imprisoned suddenly collapsed and turned into three puddles of muddy water in the White Tiger Venerable's sight.
"How dare you!"
The other White Tiger Venerable, who was standing nearby, also saw this scene and immediately roared in anger.
Clearly, without the two White Tiger Venerables' knowledge, the white-robed middle-aged man from Qishan overseas had unknowingly used the substitution technique to silently replace the three imprisoned people, including the old man, with his innate divine power.
Only then did the two White Tiger Venerables realize the meaning of what the middle-aged man in white robes had just said.
"It was my carelessness. I didn't expect this person's talent and abilities to have reached such a high level. It's truly impossible to guard against them."
The White Tiger Venerable who controlled the Heart-Knocking Cauldron looked rather grim. He and another White Tiger Venerable immediately began searching for the white-robed middle-aged man and the old man, among others.
However, the middle-aged man in white robes had only come to rescue people and would not stay in Baidi City for long.
Therefore, after rescuing the old man and the other two, he naturally wouldn't give the two White Tiger Venerables any chance and immediately fled out of the city. (End of Chapter)
