Long River Eternity

"Hahaha, what a coincidence!" Wu Pokong laughed loudly. His hearty laughter was like a breeze, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere that had been hanging in the air and easing the tension considerably.

Kong frowned slightly, muttering, "This guy inexplicably reminds me of that annoying guy."

He pouted in dissatisfaction, turned his head to the side, and refused to look at Wu Pokong anymore.

Then, he turned his gaze to Bai Ze not far away, his eyes full of contempt, and mocked, "Oh, old goat, what's this? Taking advantage of Brother Yang and the others' absence, you start bullying the juniors? Could it be that your cultivation has regressed and your brain isn't working properly anymore?"

Bai Ze's appearance is very similar to that of a goat. Ever since Kong first saw Bai Ze when he was a child, he has always regarded him as a goat.

Even after learning that the other party was the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze, Kong still refused to change his tune, determined to annoy him.

Bai Ze was already used to this and couldn't be bothered to argue with Kong about such verbal disputes.

He remained calm and replied indifferently, "On the battlefield, there are only enemies and friends. There's no such thing as seniority. Monkey, if we're really talking about seniority, Lin Ding is Yang An's disciple, your peer. Do you really expect us to show you mercy?"

"Heh, you can try it!" Kong's eyes widened in anger, and he suddenly raised his Ruyi Cudgel, pointing it directly at Bai Ze. His aura was like a volcano about to erupt, overflowing with domineering power.

Bai Ze looked at the arrogant Kong without saying a word. His previous composure was gone, replaced by a hint of seriousness.

"What's wrong, old goat? Judging from your expression, it seems you didn't expect me to appear here. Did you stumble?" Kong said sarcastically, looking at Bai Ze's appearance.

Seeing that Bai Ze did not respond, Zhong Rong transmitted his voice, "Teacher, is what that monkey said true?"

“That’s right. Although I had a vague feeling that someone would come, I didn’t expect it to be this monkey.” Bai Ze’s voice was slightly heavy.

"How could this be?" Zhong Rong said in disbelief. "That monkey is indeed strong, but it has never exceeded the teacher's calculations."

“It should be related to that Lin Ding. The cause and effect on him is as vague as that of Yang An and his group,” Bai Ze said.

At this moment, Lin Ding saw that Bai Ze suddenly had no intention of attacking, so he asked Kong, "Brother Monkey, what brings you here?"

“I’m not blind. You passed through Beizhou City and left in a hurry without stopping. I knew something must have happened, so I followed you all the way here,” Kong replied.

Zhan Tianqiong also asked Wu Pokong, "Pokong, why did you come here? How is Qitian Pass?"

"Qitian Pass suffered heavy losses, but in the end, it managed to hold on," Wu Pokong replied. "However, Kunpeng was too strong, and I couldn't stop him. He escaped and came back. Later, Bai Jun told me that something might have happened to you, and Lin Ding was probably on his way to support you. I was worried that if Kunpeng and the others went back, you would be under even more pressure, so I came along too."

“Brother Monkey, you know them better. If war breaks out, do we have a chance of winning?” Lin Ding suddenly asked.

"No," Kong replied without hesitation.

"..." Lin Ding froze instantly, thinking to himself, "Then why are you so calm?"

At this moment, Kong continued, "However, these few of them also need to be here. It remains to be seen whether they dare to fight to the death."

Kong's words gave Lin Ding hope again, and he then asked, "I didn't expect to wipe them out either. I mean, do we have a chance to escape?"

"You mean run?" Kong looked at Lin Ding, then pointed to the Kunpeng in the sky. "See that thing in the sky? It can keep you running for a while just by moving its butt a little. Besides cultivating the Yin-Yang Law, it is also a True Sovereign of the Wind Law."

"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high." Have you heard of it? Trying to escape from the roc is harder than killing it.

"Well... then we have no choice but to fight them." Lin Ding said resolutely.

"However..." Kong spoke again at this moment.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you just finish what you said all at once? You keep repeating the same sentence over and over, it's making me feel really uncomfortable," Wu Pokong interrupted, sounding annoyed.

"Mind your own business. If you didn't keep interrupting me like this, would I be able to speak in several parts?" Kong retorted.

"Damn it..." Wu Pokong got angry when he saw that Kong was targeting him.

Lin Ding rushed over to mediate: "Calm down, it's all my fault. Brother Monkey, what were you arguing about?"

Kong glared at Wu Pokong, then said calmly, "However, before I came, I sent a clone to the Tomb of Soldiers. If we can hold out until Sister Nian arrives, his teleportation can take us away from here."

"Bai Ze, what are you still hesitating for? It's just two more people, eight against four, the advantage is ours. If you think this monkey is troublesome, leave it to me. I'm holding back a lot of anger." A voice as loud as thunder came from the sky. He had suffered a great loss at the Queen Mother of the West and wanted to get back at Lin Ding and the others.

Surprisingly, Hantian, who had been seriously injured not long ago with a deep wound that exposed bone, had stopped bleeding and even had a layer of tender new flesh growing on the wound. Although it was still obvious that a piece of flesh was missing, it no longer had much of an impact on Hantian's movements.

"Be careful of that man with the axe; he's immortal." Kunpeng's deep voice came from the sky.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's gaze sharpened, and his expression turned even more gloomy.

"You're also an immortal body?" Kong Bu stared at Wu Pokong in surprise.

"What do you mean by 'also'?" Wu Pokong asked, puzzled.

"Damn it." Kong didn't answer, but instead curled his lip and muttered a curse under his breath.

"?"

"?"

"?"

Wu Pokong, Lin Ding, and Zhan Tianqiong were all puzzled, not understanding what Kong meant, and even less understanding why Kong reacted so strongly to the fact that Wu Pokong was an indestructible body.

At this moment, a faint white halo appeared on Bai Ze's body, and golden light shone in his pupils. He then looked towards Lin Ding.

However, after a few seconds, all that could be seen was still emptiness.

Bai Ze gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up. He then pondered, "This is an excellent opportunity. If we can wipe them out here, whether we use them as leverage or eliminate them directly, it will greatly benefit the future war. It's worth taking the risk."

"I hope he really will show up," Bai Ze murmured to himself.

Immediately, Bai Ze made his decision and said in a deep voice, "Let's finish this quickly!"
