“Hmph!”
“What are you still doing here!”
“Come to laugh at me?!”
Seeing the three Tower Lords, Ancestor Blaze’s anger flared at once.
On ordinary days, it was Fellow Daoist this, Fellow Daoist that, all about joining forces against Ling Danzi’s Five Against One.
Yet when the fighting actually started.
Every single one of the bastards had acted like they saw nothing.
“Blaze, we know you’ve suffered a grievance this time and are furious inside.”
“But there was nothing we could do.”
“After all, you know me.”
“I’m not skilled in combat. Even if I joined forces with you, I’d just be one more person getting beaten.”
Among the three, White Tower’s Tower Lord Ling Nanzi said with a helpless expression.
The other two Tower Lords also nodded, readily admitting they couldn’t beat Ling Danzi.
If they could have beaten him.
They wouldn’t have spent all these years just running their mouths alongside Ancestor Blaze.
They would have secretly ambushed Ling Danzi long ago.
“What kind of person is Ling Danzi?”
“A disciple of Daoist Yuan, once hailed as an unrivaled prodigy of his generation.”
“If we truly fought him.”
“The four of us together would probably still end up at a disadvantage.”
“More importantly, if we really stepped in to help you.”
“Four against one, the nature of it changes entirely.”
“If Ling Danzi goes and complains to Daoist Yuan afterward.”
“Blaze, ask yourself honestly.”
“Is it you who can find a backer, or is it us who can find a backer, who could withstand Daoist Yuan?”
The three of them, one line after another.
Ancestor Blaze grew more and more furious as he listened.
Though he had thought the same himself.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent Yun Lang to fetch that Lin Qi, who he believed had immense backing.
But he could think that way.
Ling Nanzi and the others could not.
“I don’t care anyway.”
“I’ve suffered such a huge loss this time.”
“I have to get it back!”
Ancestor Blaze roared.
He had assumed Ling Nanzi and the other two would feel guilty and offer consolation.
But unexpectedly, the three of them instantly changed expression.
Ling Nanzi said without a shred of hesitation.
“Absolutely not. Blaze, today is not the same as before.”
“In the past, Ling Danzi always fantasized about becoming an Inspector, using authority and reason to keep us in check.”
“So he never resorted to combat.”
“But today, he actually struck you.”
“Who’s to say that tomorrow he won’t dare to kill you.”
“You don’t really think Ling Danzi doesn’t dare to go for the kill, do you?”
“You think I was raised on fear?!”
Ancestor Blaze’s eyelid twitched, his expression fierce.
