Lin Jin smiled. Fearing that the other party wouldn't know he was smiling because he was wearing a mask, Lin Jin let out a chuckle this time. However, as it was a fake laugh, it sounded a little odd, but it also made him look creepy.
Sit?
Lin Jin wouldn't sit.
The old Taoist was trying to be mysterious but Lin Jin had no time to entertain him.
Patting the little fox in his arms, Lin Jin had already scouted the area to see if there were any traps the old man had set up.
He had to be careful with every step he took.
As for the tea the old man brewed, it was definitely undrinkable. Who knew if there was something hidden in it?
Lin Jin knew that it was best not to follow the old Taoist's instructions.
The old Taoist poured him a cup of tea but Lin Jin didn't take it. Instead, he pointed at White Ape and said, "White Ape is my grand-disciple and I like him a lot. It's not right of you to take his love away without saying a word."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed White Ape. As if he was being lifted up by a force, White Ape flew over.
"Huh?"
The old Taoist frowned. The next moment, the rope around White Ape's neck glowed with a golden light, tugging at White Ape so that he couldn't be pulled over.
In an instant, the two forces were locked in a stalemate.
Lin Jin obviously didn't know how to use telekinesis. He was just putting on an act earlier but Shang'er was the one who did it. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Shang'er's Object Manipulation skill was at the peak of perfection. However, she didn't dare to use too much force as White Ape's eyes were already rolling back from the rope around his neck.
In a situation like this, Lin Jin could either disregard everything and forcefully pull White Ape over, or he could only let go and think of something else later.
Lin Jin said coldly, "If we don't get along, I won't let you off the hook. If you hurt White Ape, I won't let you off today."
He didn't say this to threaten the old Taoist but to divert his attention.
Because as he spoke, Lin Jin had already flicked his Thunderfire Needle at the old Taoist.
When he said he would make a move, he acted without the slightest hesitation. The fact that the other party was pretending to warm the tea and wait for him was nothing more than another trap. If he really sat there foolishly and talked with the other party, he would only be led step by step into the ditch.
The old Taoist was an expert so it was always wise to strike first.
The old Taoist didn't expect Lin Jin to attack without any warning. He flew into a rage, but the next moment, he broke out in cold sweat.
The momentum of the incoming Thunderfire Needle was too great. The old Taoist didn't even have time to speak before a ball of light burst forth from his body. Then, there was the sound of a cicada chirping. Thunderfire splattered in all directions, shattering rocks and burning trees.
Shang 'er's tail swept past, sweeping Zhi Yin far away so that he wouldn't be affected. Apart from that, Shang' er's Object Manipulation Technique was in full effect. The white ape couldn't break free from the rope that was emitting golden light, and the rope was tied to a large tree. Using the Object Manipulation Technique, Shang 'er uprooted the tree that weighed at least ten thousand kilograms.
Even Lin Jin hadn't expected this to happen. But now, he wasn't afraid anymore. Even if the old Taoist used a spell to control the rope, there was nothing he could do to stop Shang'er from snatching the wok away.
He really took away the pot and the stove, leaving nothing behind.
The old Taoist priest didn't expect this either. He used the golden light on his body to block the Lightning Fire Needles. Now that he saw his magic treasure being taken away, he had a mental breakdown.
"Shameless! Despicable!" The old Taoist cursed. Despite his anger, the old Taoist knew that the 'immortal binding rope' was the most powerful magic treasure he had.
This item was left behind by his grandmaster. Be it humans, monsters, immortals, ghosts, or demons, they could all be bound by it.
To put it bluntly, this was the most important thing he had.
The old Taoist couldn't care less. If he continued to tie up the white ape, his magic treasure would be taken away. Hence, he could only invoke a spell. The next moment, the rope that bound the white ape loosened like a snake and slithered away, flying into the old Taoist's sleeve.
Lin Jin sighed inwardly. He could tell that Shang 'er wasn't just trying to save the white ape, she was also trying to take away his magic treasure.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Still, it didn't matter as long as the white ape was free.
Without the rope restraining him, the white ape's demonic aura erupted once more. Almost instantly, he transformed into his giant ape form. Glaring at the old Taoist with bloodshot eyes, he roared and pounced at the old Taoist.
Lin Jin could tell that the old Taoist had been torturing White Ape lately or else he wouldn't be this angry.
"Old thing, I'm going to smack you to death!" Without the magic treasure's restraint, the white ape's demonic aura soared and he could speak now. He raised his fist and swung it down.
This punch could even shatter a mountain peak.
The old Taoist raised an eyebrow in anger. "You're just a beast. How dare you talk big."
As he spoke, the golden light shone again. Then, countless black insects swarmed over from all directions and wrapped themselves around the white ape's arm. As the insects gnawed on him, the white ape let out a strange cry.
At this, Lin Jin quickly spat out a ball of dragon fire, temporarily saving the white ape from danger.
"White Ape, stand down!"
Lin Jin knew that the old Taoist was a master of insect control. While White Ape was impressive, he wouldn't be a match for the old Taoist if he had to fight him.
The fact that the old Taoist managed to subdue both Bai Yu and Zhi Yin from Daluo Temple proved how powerful he was. Forget White Ape, even Lin Jin had to be careful.
Although White Ape was furious, he wasn't an idiot. When the old Taoist used the black insects to bite him, even with his thick skin and thick flesh, the bite was excruciating. If Lin Jin hadn't used his dragon fire to repel the insects, his entire arm might have been devoured by them. Hence, when Lin Jin told him to stand down, White Ape immediately ran.
With a leap, he landed at the foot of the mountain. As he landed, he shrunk back to his normal size. Coincidentally, he saw Goldy who was catching insects nearby.
White Ape was delighted. "Goldy, you're here too?"
Goldy and White Ape were very familiar with each other. At the sight of White Ape, Goldy clucked a few times and flapped his wings in greeting.
"Goldy, your Brother White was bullied. You have to avenge me." White Ape felt wronged but he didn't say anything. Instead, he hugged Goldy tightly and wept as he recounted his pitiful experience.
Goldy was infuriated as well. The comb on his head seemed to be on fire.
"Cluck cluck cluck ~"
"You're asking who? It's that old Taoist on the mountain. He's so powerful that he can summon all sorts of poisonous insects. He also has a rope that tied me up so I can't exert any strength. "
"Cluck cluck cluck!"
"You want to avenge me? Alright, alright. If you really do that, I'll call you Brother Huang from now on! "White Ape said seriously.
Currently, a rooster and a white ape were chatting merrily.
Goldy clucked a few times before flapping his wings and heading up the mountain.
