Chapter 171 The Three Immortals Restaurant is open for dinner

"Haha, Li Wushou, dinner's finally ready."

Chen Gou'er, hands on his hips, swaggered out of the Sanxian Pavilion.

The old beggar followed behind Chen Gou'er, silently chewing on the incense sticks.

With a torn mouth, Chen Gou'er opened his mouth wide in fury and mumbled, "I'm going to eat that face!"

After saying that, he was about to rush towards the god in his belly. This face had consumed too much flesh and blood, and he had been craving it for a long time.

The old beggar grabbed him by the collar and said, "You go eat the leg! Give the face to Li Wushou, he still wants to take the bone. As for the head, it's mine."

Chen Gou'er was indignant, but he didn't pursue the matter further. With his head down and drool dripping onto the ground, he shouted to Li Wushou below:

"Li Wushou, remember, after you take the bones, you must prepare some delicious food for me. I want lots and lots of flesh and blood."

Li Wushou nodded, and Chen Gou'er instantly disappeared from the courtyard of the Three Immortals Pavilion.

"Young people are just so impatient."

Upon seeing this, the old beggar muttered something to himself, and then disappeared into the courtyard.

The situation changed too quickly; before the High Priest could even comprehend what was happening before him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

In his perception, just after Li Wushou said "Let's eat," a domineering and powerful force directly pushed his divine tree avatar out of the center of the platform.

He felt as if a sacred mountain had suddenly pressed down on his heart.

The sacred mountain rippled with the smoke of incense, making it difficult for him to see clearly, but then he heard a conversation that chilled him to the bone.

He didn't know what was speaking, but he keenly sensed that he was being served at the dinner table.

Because that conversation clearly showed that he, the god in his belly, and the god under his feet were being directly distributed as food.

How could such a thing happen?
The High Priest was incredulous, and kept urging the "God-Seizing Talisman" between his brows to spread its lines, attempting to repair the "God-Controlling Talisman" between the brows of the god in his belly and the god at his feet.

But it was somewhat in vain, because the two gods of the Luotou clan's ancestors had also sensed the Grand Priest's scheme from his actions just now.

At this moment, the sapling that sprouted from between their brows helped them break free from some of the control of the talismans, and the two gods were struggling against the manipulation of the High Priest.

The divine being beneath its feet sprouted fine, sharp claws from its body, constantly cutting at the patterns of the divine control talisman, attempting to completely remove it.

Despite Luo Fan's feet becoming a bloody mess, it had little effect.

This talisman was drawn with the blood from the High Priest's brow, sharing the same bloodline as Luo Fan. Furthermore, the two ancestral gods, through Luo Fan's years of offerings, had long since become almost assimilated into his being.

This is also why the Ancestral God Glazed Tree could not detect the abnormality before.

This control talisman, like veins and patterns, is imprinted on the bodies of the two gods, and there is absolutely no possibility of getting rid of it in a short time.

If it weren't for the saplings that inexplicably grew inside their bodies, disrupting the structure of the two gods' bodies, then today these two gods would most likely have been swallowed and completely digested by the High Priest.

But the god of the foot quickly realized that this was not something to celebrate!

Although the high priest had not yet devoured them, it seemed that an even more ruthless opponent had arrived.

Suddenly, the god of feet felt a chill run down his spine. His feet transformed into claws, and he swung them forcefully at the void before him, tearing several cracks through the air like a curtain. Although the god of feet couldn't see anyone, he sensed a chilling malice.

"Aah!"

A strange cry came from nowhere, and Chen Gou'er's figure appeared piecemeal in the air.

The god's claw sliced ​​him into several pieces, one of which even ripped off Chen Gou'er's skull.

"You dare to cut off my dog-like grandpa? I'll bite you to death!"

The fragment that still held its mouth suddenly let out a furious roar, and then the scattered pieces of Chen Gou'er stuck to the sharp claws of the god beneath his feet like chewing gum.

Large mouths sprouted from the fragments, tearing at them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

"I'll eat it. I'll eat it, boohoo!"

Chen Gou'er swallowed hard, but the supernatural claws under his feet were too huge, and the claws were indeed sharp, so it was difficult for Chen Gou'er to swallow the other party in an instant.

The god underfoot was slightly stunned, and then began to struggle violently.

What kind of monster is this?

Even after being cut into several pieces, it could still stick to his body and devour him from all directions.

The god beneath his feet continuously sprouted sharp claws within his body, tearing apart his opponent's flesh in an attempt to force him to back down, but all he received in return was a relentless "crack."

Chen Gou'er remained silent, only continuing to devour the food.

The high priest was terrified. Had he really been eaten?
Through the God Control Talisman, he immediately sensed that the god beneath his feet was being devoured at will, and that the god beneath his feet seemed to be powerless to fight back.

At the same time, not only the God of Footwork, but also the God Control Talisman that he had inscribed into the other party's body was chewed up and swallowed by the other party, and then disappeared without a trace.

If this continues, it won't be long before this god beneath my feet is completely devoured by the other side, right?

The high priest was terrified and hurriedly activated the God-Seizing Talisman between his eyebrows, trying to forcibly control the god in his belly to come to his rescue.

No matter how he tried to urge it, the spirit in his abdomen did not react at all, and only continued to resist him, trying to break free of its restraints.

This is impossible!

Even though the god within his belly had regained some freedom because of that sapling, it was still under his control. Why couldn't he forcefully activate it?
Suddenly, he remembered what he had just said: "That head is mine."

A chill ran through him, goosebumps rose on his face, and he subconsciously looked around, but he didn't notice anything unusual. However, his vigilance was at its highest.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the High Priest looked up. Upon seeing it, he was immediately shocked to find an old man resembling a beggar sitting cross-legged in the empty space above him.

At this moment, the other party was plucking the roots of the tree god's body from the top of the high priest's head and attaching them one by one to his own head.

Seemingly sensing the high priest's gaze, the old beggar grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Then his face suddenly turned bitter, he opened his mouth, bit off a finger, chewed it quickly a few times, and said:
"Please, have mercy! This old man has a hard life. Let me be the High Priest of Losang for a while!"

Before the high priest could react to what this meant, he felt a sharp pain on his face as the God-Snatching Talisman, engraved in his bloodline, was forcibly torn off his head.

The old man, who was sitting cross-legged on his head, reached out, and the God-Snatching Talisman quickly floated up and landed in the other person's hand.

Strands of red light connected Luo Fan's physical body with the God-Stealing Talisman in the old beggar's palm. From a distance, Luo Fan's body looked like a puppet being manipulated.

The Divine Seizing Talisman completely detached from the High Priest's head, along with the Tree God's Dharma Body rooted atop the High Priest's head.

There was no need for the old beggar to pull out the roots one by one; the roots of the tree's physical form automatically took root on the top of the old beggar's head. At that moment, the old beggar seemed to have truly transformed into the High Priest.

"Snap!"

With a series of crisp cracking sounds, the flesh and bone began to separate at the neck of the High Priest and Luo Fan's bodies, as the High Priest's head was about to be completely expelled.

The high priest was horrified and roared incessantly.

"Who are you? Who are you all?"

This feeling of powerlessness, like a lamb to the slaughter, filled him with despair.

no respond!

The moment the head left Luo Fan's neck, the old beggar gently landed on Luo Fan's neck.

Ignoring the high priest's roar, he reached out and flicked the roots above his head, causing the tree god's avatar above to tremble.

The countless heads, shaken off the tree canopy, were then neatly arranged in front of the ancestral hall, resembling a mound of skulls.

Having done all this, the old beggar glanced at the despairing high priest and murmured:

"Incense isn't used like that. Out of consideration for the thousands of years of tradition of the Luotou clan, I'll allow you to bow to me!"

The tree god's divine body, which blotted out the sky, suddenly contracted and was swallowed back into the old beggar's body from its roots.

A golden light flashed in the old beggar's eyes, and Losang immediately froze on the spot. His expression slowly turned pious, and he bowed deeply to the old beggar.

The old beggar nodded slightly, his expression inexplicably arrogant, as if this bow was an extraordinary honor for Losang.

The old beggar swallowed the incense sticks, withdrew his gaze, tugged at the Divine-Snatching Talisman in his hand, and said to Li Wushou below, "Your turn."

Li Wushou looked at the arrogant old beggar and curled his lip.

Last night, the other party was not in this state. He spent a long time calculating the timing with Li Wushou, being very cautious, afraid that if he failed to catch the hawk, he would be pecked in the eye instead. If he didn't get any offerings, he would lose a finger instead, which would be a huge loss.

After guessing that the High Priest might take advantage of the ancestral god's relocation to cause trouble, the two plotted their move.

The old beggar's original plan was to incite the two gods to rebel and fight against the Grand Priest after the Grand Priest killed the Ancestral God. At that time, the Three Immortals Hall would seize the opportunity to rob them.

In this way, the old beggar's contribution can be minimized.

After all, although it was unclear how the High Priest intended to kill that ancestral god, the High Priest was just a mortal and could not fake it.

Even if one were to transform into a god, that would still take time.

Facing the Grand Priest was much simpler than facing the ancestral god's counterattack.

But plans can't keep up with changes, and Li Wushou never expected that the Grand Priest would plot to seize the position of the Ancestral God in this way.

While at the ancient temple, he coveted the nascent soul-like things that had sprouted from the necks of the Luo Wen couple.

Even though the old beggar later denied it, Li Wushou thought that since they were similar, they should be able to find some commonalities.

Since the Three Immortals Pavilion had no successor, Li Wushou did not want to miss this research opportunity.

So while cutting out paper figures for Luo Wen and his wife, Li Wushou planted tree seeds inside their heads using the tree-planting method of the Tree Goddess.

This is why he used the method of planting trees to accelerate the production of paper.

Originally intended for surveillance and reconnaissance, the High Priest manipulated Luo Fan to devour the heads of Luo Wen and his wife, and the tree-like magic entered the bodies of the two gods along with the flesh and blood of their heads.

Just now, he used the power of Yin and Yang to strike the two gods. In addition to attacking, he was also using the power of Yin and Yang to water the tree seed so that it could quickly take root and sprout when it was induced to grow later.

Looking back on all of this, one can only say that fate has its own plan.

Li Wushou formed a hand seal, and the sapling between his eyebrows suddenly grew wildly, throwing his opponent's mind into chaos.

Li Wushou's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already suspended in front of the god in his belly. A flash of silver light appeared in his hand, and an iron wire pierced straight into the god's brow.

"Hiss!"

The wire pierced straight into the core, causing the Yin and Yang energy within to explode.

The dark shadow behind him suddenly rose up and swallowed the god in his belly in one gulp. Then Li Wushou took a step back and sat cross-legged in the void.

This time, he would use the greedy god within his belly to replenish his internal organs.
