Lin Qiye chose Sun Wukong, An Qingyu chose Tang Sanzang, Baili Pangpang chose Zhu Bajie, Cao Yuan chose Sha Wujing, and Jialan chose the Red Boy mask.
Shen Qingzhu chose Erlang Shen, and Gu Tianchen chose Nezha, in order to gather the three traitors of the Heavenly Court.
Best originally wanted to put the golden mask directly on her head, but Gu Tianchen refused and instead picked out a Black Cat Sheriff mask for her to wear.
"Alright, let's split into two groups and set off."
Gu Tianchen carried the Fangtian Halberd and walked at the front of the group, with Baili Pangpang following behind Jialan.
Gu Tianchen is such a reckless man, he charges at the first sign of the enemy and doesn't protect his teammates at all. It's much safer for him to stay with Sister Lan, who's known for her toughness.
Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu stayed behind to cover the rear, closely monitoring the changes within the fog.
The group followed the path beside the huge lake, which resembled a golden rooster, and ventured deeper into the mist.
Baili Pangpang looked at Gu Tianchen and asked, "Tianchen, my dad's birthday is in a few days. What do you think would be a good gift for him?"
Gu Tianchen gripped his halberd tightly and said, "Send him to the Western Paradise."
"Huh???" Baili Pangpang looked at Gu Tianchen in shock.
That was his biological father, not his godfather. How could he just send him to the Western Paradise like that?
"Ahem... I meant to give him some amulets or something from the Buddha of the Western Paradise," Gu Tianchen said, trying to cover it up.
"This is indeed a good idea. There are many temples in Gusu. After our mission is completed, I will accompany you to pick a few." Cao Yuan said.
"Alright, alright, you were a monk, so you have experience in this area. Should I give one to Molly too? Would she like it?" Baili Pangpang asked happily.
"He's hopelessly in love," Shen Qingzhu said, shaking her head.
"Tch, so what if you're love-struck? It's still better than a clueless straight man like you. If you keep going like this, you might end up single forever," Baili Pangpang retorted.
Shen Qingzhu gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, lit a cigarette, and said, "Women will only slow down my speed of drawing the knife."
"Have you... heard any strange noises?" Best suddenly asked.
"What's that sound? I didn't hear it!" Baili Pangpang stopped and listened carefully.
Best's two cat ears twitched incessantly, and he frowned as he said, "It sounds like... the sound of some kind of musical instrument, a special instrument from your Great Xia..."
Gu Tianchen listened carefully to the sounds in the wind, and a familiar melody drifted from it...
"This familiar melody is..."
"My sword—where shall it go? Love and hate, I cannot be alone."
"My blade slices through the sky, leaving no room for right or wrong, neither understanding nor discerning."
As the sound grew closer, everyone recognized the melody coming from the center of the lake; someone was playing the guzheng...
"This is... Swords and Dreams?" Baili Pangpang recognized the melody coming from the center of the lake.
hum!
An invisible sword flew out from the mist, heading straight for Gu Tianchen at the forefront.
Gu Tianchen shattered the sky with a single halberd strike, and two more invisible blades sliced through the air.
Shen Qingzhu and Cao Yuan instantly arrived at Gu Tianchen's side, blocking the two invisible blades.
"A song that breaks the heart, where can I find a bosom friend at the end of the world."
A cold voice came from the center of the lake.
"Good heavens, could it be those two guys carrying coffin lids?" Baili Pangpang peeked out from behind Jialan.
A small boat slowly emerges from the center of the lake, and a beautiful woman dressed in Hanfu gently plays the guzheng. She is gentle and charming, with an elegant temperament, and carries the unique tenderness of the Jiangnan water towns.
"Wow, she's beautiful! Don't move, let me handle this!!"
Upon seeing that the other party was actually a beautiful woman, Baili Pangpang instantly rushed out from behind Jialan, stepping on the Yao Guang and slowly flying over in his most handsome posture.
"Young lady, my name is..."
Suddenly, the beautiful guzheng player's eyes turned cold, filled with murderous intent!
"You people of the Church of the Ancient Gods deserve to die!"
clang!
With a light touch of her jade-like fingers, a heavenly melody resounded from the guzheng, concealing a deadly intent!
Caught off guard, Baili Pangpang was knocked into the water by an invisible blade.
Gu Tianchen leaped into the lake, and the surrounding water parted automatically.
He scooped up the sinking Baili Pangpang and flew out of the lake, then threw Baili Pangpang to Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu on the shore.
Holding the Fierce Dragon Halberd, Gu Tianchen strode across the shimmering lake surface as if walking on flat ground, creating ripples in his wake.
hum!
The beautiful guzheng player made her move again, and the sound waves she played formed six or seven invisible blades that flew towards Gu Tianchen.
Gu Tianchen ignored the opponent's attack and charged across the lake, the invisible blade shattering instantly upon striking him.
Before the zither-playing beauty could recover from Gu Tianchen's abnormal defensive power, he had already rushed in front of her.
"Your Ancient God Church..."
Snapped!
Gu Tianchen delivered a karate chop to the back of the zither-playing beauty's head, knocking her unconscious.
"Hmm, the force is just right, enough to daze you but not hurt your brain."
Gu Tianchen, who came riding the waves, arrived at the shore from the center of the lake like a dragonfly skimming the water, and threw the beautiful guzheng-playing girl he was carrying on his shoulder to Baili Pangpang.
"Tie him up."
"Alright, I'm a professional at bondage."
Baili Pangpang took out a rope and tied the guzheng beauty into his most proficient bondage position.
Shen Qingzhu looked at the guzheng-playing beauty and said, "This should be Zhengzheng, a member of the 017 Suzhou team. She has been corrupted by the Mist Spirit and has mistaken us for members of the Ancient God Church."
"The dogs of the Ancient God Church have infiltrated as well?" Cao Yuan frowned.
Shen Qingzhu stroked her chin and analyzed, "Perhaps this fog is the work of the Ancient God Church."
Gu Tianchen, carrying the Fierce Dragon Halberd, said, "Who cares if the Ancient God Church is behind this? Once we encounter them, we'll just fight them."
……
Suzhou City.
The Gate to the South.
This magnificent building, which resembles a pair of thermal underwear and towers above the clouds, is one of the landmarks of Suzhou City.
At the top of the building, three figures stood in the night, silently watching the city shrouded in mist below.
A seductive figure looked up at the purple mist, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Our prey has arrived."
Chapter 173 The real expert is the one who mediates a fight!
A gentle breeze ruffled the snake woman's black curly hair, revealing her alluring face.
Beside her stood Lü Liang, who had already entered the sea territory.
On the far left is a man wearing a black trench coat, emanating boundless spiritual energy fluctuations. He is the commander of this mission for the Ancient God Church.
"and many more……"
"These don't seem to be the prey we're waiting for. These guys aren't members of the Phoenix Squad," the man in the trench coat said coldly.
The snake woman frowned. "Impossible. The Phoenix Squad is in charge of dealing with mysteries from the outer realms. Belkland is here, so why aren't they here? Could it be that our plan has been seen through?"
"Is it a medium or someone in disguise?" Lü Liang asked, frowning.
The man in the trench coat thought for a moment and then said a name that surprised the two of them.
"Fake mask".
The snake woman was completely bewildered. "Excuse me, but do you stutter?"
The man in the trench coat's lips twitched slightly. "They're all wearing masks, but not the Masked Squad masks, but... Journey to the West masks."
"A Journey to the West mask?!"
The snake woman was even more puzzled, "Does the Great Xia Dynasty have a special team wearing Journey to the West masks?"
Lu Liang stroked his chin and asked, "Is it possible that the Masked Squad's masks weren't completely dry after washing, and they're just using Journey to the West masks to make up the numbers?"
The man in the trench coat rubbed his forehead, suddenly realizing that bringing these two along on this mission was a mistake...
Last time, Han Shaoyun led the team, and the two of them came back unharmed, but Han Shaoyun was killed, supposedly by a newcomer who hadn't even left the training camp yet...
If his men hadn't been wiped out in the Battle of Jinan Mountain, he would never have wanted to bring these two jinxes on a mission.
"They're not masks, they're a group of people from the Sichuan region... Wait, this aura is... a god?!" The man in the windbreaker was suddenly stunned.
How did a god end up in this group?
Although the aura was very weak, he could still sense that the god he was acting as a proxy and this god should belong to the same pantheon...
The snake woman's pupils suddenly contracted. "A god?! You're not mistaken, are you?"
"The aura emanating from Belkland is unmistakable, but it's very weak, only at the Chuan Realm level. She must have suffered severe injuries, and her divine power hasn't fully recovered," the man in the trench coat explained.
"A severely injured god?" The snake woman looked at the black box at her feet, licked her lips, and said with a playful look in her eyes, "God, what does he taste like? I really want to try it."
At the feet of the three, there was a black box containing secret weapons to deal with the Phoenix Squad.
"Don't underestimate them. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Without the power of laws, even a wounded god is not something we can kill," Lü Liang said cautiously.
"They split into two groups, seemingly trying to lure out Belkland's whereabouts and then introduce other pawns to see who they really are," the man in the trench coat said.
“No problem,” the snake woman said with a smile.
……
Lakeside.
