Chapter 264: Old Man Tom and Old Man Jerry (Not Whitewashing the Agility Clan)

A scratch appeared in the sky; it was Shen An and his group. Taking advantage of the lingering might of Qian Daoliu, Shen An did not hesitate in the slightest to activate his magic broom and distance himself from Spirit City. His destination was precisely the Star Luo Empire. Jerry lay on top of Tom’s head. Both of them looked at Spirit City with unhappy faces. "Meow~ (I will be back!)" Tom meowed at the sky. Far from being fierce, he was actually a bit cute and dumb. The two little ones were very attached to their home and did not want to go out easily. What’s more, this time they were forced by Spirit Hall to have to leave their home in Heaven Dou. The anger in their hearts could be imagined. "Alright, Tom, Jerry. After we go to the Star Luo Empire, I will buy a big house, and we will decorate it beautifully, okay?" Shen An gently comforted the two little ones, but he was naturally also extremely unhappy. But there was no way around it. Spirit Hall’s power was great. He could only temporarily avoid the limelight for now. "Spirit Hall, I have noted down today’s matter. One day, I will surely repay it well," Shen An recited silently in his heart. His gaze looked towards the direction of the Star Luo Empire. He would be staying in Star Luo for a very long time. The power of Spirit Hall was weaker there, and the popularity was high. It was the best place to go. Half a month later, within the borders of the Star Luo Empire, Dragon-Ascendant City. In the mansion of the Defense Clan, the four single-attribute sects, the former affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect, were gathered here. To be precise, one sect was missing, and that was the Strength Clan. Tai Tan had been slain by Shen An. The Strength Clan was now attached to Shrek Academy. They could hardly protect themselves, so how could they have the spare capacity to participate in this gathering? What’s more, this was not the once-every-two-years meeting that the four sects had agreed upon, but was temporarily convened by the clan master of the Defense Clan, Niu Gao. Niu Gao, with a face like a dark red jujube and a majestic figure like a fortress, sat in the main seat, his face abnormally gloomy. The clan master of the Agility Clan, Bai He, was also the same, a faint look of sorrow on his face. On the other hand, the clan master of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi, looked somewhat complex, a change from his usual sinister and gloomy demeanor, appearing slightly cheerful. "Old Goat, what time is it now? You can still laugh," Niu Gao couldn’t help but say. Yang Wudi gently stroked his goatee. "It’s just that when I laugh, thinking of how that fellow Tang Hao failed to wreak havoc in Spirit Hall and instead had an arm cut off, I can’t help but be happy." "Hahahaha, what Clear Sky Douluo? To have his arm cut off by a Soul King taking an opportunity. He has truly shamed this title." "I remember, there should be the long-inherited right arm bone of the Clear Sky Sect in Tang Hao’s right hand. Tsk tsk tsk, what a jinx." "Tsk tsk, he had one hand cut off, his son was cut down until only one leg was left. This father and son pair are a perfect match." Yang Wudi laughed wantonly, disregarding the ugly faces of Niu Gao and Bai He. Niu Gao and Bai He sighed in their hearts. Forget it, there’s nothing to say. Let this old goat laugh for a while. The purpose of Niu Gao convening the meeting was naturally not to laugh at Tang Hao, but they knew the resentment in Yang Wudi’s heart and could only let him vent his emotions a little. Tang Hao had a conflict with Spirit Hall because of the 100,000-year soul beast, Ah Yin. Spirit Hall held a grudge and attacked the Clear Sky Sect. Then, the so-called number one sect under heaven, the Clear Sky Sect, whose soul masters all possessed the Clear Sky Hammer and had fiery tempers, had chickened out. They had hurriedly expelled Tang Hao from the sect, and without another word, had even sealed off the sect. Not even a mosquito was allowed in. This had undoubtedly been bitter for their four single-attribute sects. One by one, they had suffered blows, and more than half of their disciples had been killed or injured. Among them, the most severe was the Breaking Clan. Yang Wudi’s only son had died tragically in this battle, and his younger brother, Yang Wushuang, had also been captured by Spirit Hall. So among the four single-attribute sects, if one were to talk about who was the number one loyal dog of the Clear Sky Sect, that would naturally be the deceased Tai Tan. If one were to talk about who was the most hostile towards the Clear Sky Sect, that would naturally be none other than Yang Wudi. "Old Goat, that’s enough. I called you here today to discuss other important matters." "According to the letter from the Strength Clan’s side, the old gorilla was killed by sinister means by that person named Shen An using dirty tricks." "Our four single-attribute sects have always been connected. We cannot not avenge the old gorilla’s grudge." "I have received news that the person named Shen An is not tolerated by Spirit Hall and has thus fled to the Star Luo Empire." "I think, with the power of our three sects, if we find this person, it can also be considered giving the old gorilla an account." Bai He coughed lightly. "This is possible. My Agility Clan is best at reconnaissance. If there is any news, I will definitely inform everyone." "It’s just that I heard this Shen An’s combat power is not low. After all, he could cut off one of Tang Hao’s arms." "Haha, you are overthinking it. Rumors stop at the wise. It’s just hearsay. A mere Soul King, can he really overturn the heavens?" Niu Gao laughed with disdain, then turned to look at Yang Wudi. "Old White Bird has already stated his position. What about you, Old Goat?" Yang Wudi gently stroked his beard. "I’m really reluctant to kill him. After all, him heavily injuring Tang Hao can also be considered venting some anger for my Breaking Clan." "Let’s leave it to fate. My Breaking Clan will not specifically go look for him. But to give the old gorilla some face, if I see him, I won’t just sit by and do nothing either." Niu Gao and Bai He looked at each other and once again sighed in their hearts. This Yang Wudi’s malice towards the Clear Sky Sect is really great. Just because Shen An had heavily injured Tang Hao, he was actually unwilling to go all out to help avenge the old gorilla. In fact, this was purely the other two talking without feeling the pain themselves. The other three sects, although they had suffered considerable losses, still had more than two hundred direct disciples. The Breaking Clan, after the neglect of the Clear Sky Sect and the pursuit of Spirit Hall, its direct disciples could be said to have been more than halved. For Yang Wudi, it was as if his family had been broken and its members killed. How could he swallow this anger? So he equally despised both Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. The meeting of the three sects ended here. Yang Wudi, in a great mood, walked out humming a little tune. It was just that Bai He didn’t even move his butt. Niu Gao looked over strangely. "Old White Bird, why are you still not leaving?" "Ahem, I sent my clansmen to look for this person. Thus, I’ve neglected our livelihood. The family can’t even lift the lid on the pot anymore. Give me some money first to support us." This was the first time Bai He had so righteously stretched out his hand for money. "..." Niu Gao. He had always been unable to figure out how the Agility Clan, with a Soul Douluo presiding over it, had ended up worse than beggars. At this moment, besides the movements of the four single-attribute sects, the Star Luo Empire was also surging with undercurrents. Among the four lower sects, besides the Elephant Armored Sect, the other three were all in the Star Luo Empire and were also powerful supporters of Spirit Hall. The three sects also sent out people one after another to keep an eye out for a youth with a cat and a mouse. The border inspection post of the Star Luo Empire. "Your name is Li Feiyu, you are a soul master, and these two old men are named Tom and Jerry." The inspection personnel of the Star Luo Empire said while sizing up Shen An, Tom, and Jerry. The corner of Shen An’s mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh a little. Of course, he knew that the characteristics of Tom and Jerry were too obvious. In the entire continent, he was probably the only one who traveled with both a cat and a mouse at the same time. So Shen An had a flash of inspiration and had Tom and Jerry disguise themselves a little. After all, with the abilities of the two Heavenly Emperors, wasn’t a disguise a small problem? And then, Tom and Jerry really did just disguise themselves a little. They took out one large and one small mustache and stuck them on their mouths. There were no other modifications. Old Man Tom and Old Man Jerry instantly made a shining debut. In fact, Shen An was very suspicious of this disguise of Tom and Jerry’s. Because in his eyes, besides the two white mustaches on their lips, there was no other change. No matter how you looked at them, they were still a cat and a mouse! But alas, it was as if in the eyes of these people, Tom and Jerry were really two old men. Tom was fine, more or less a few dozen centimeters tall. But Jerry was even smaller than a three-inch nail. Just like that, no one had any suspicion. At this, Shen An could only say, terrifyingly so. "Yes, my name is Li Feiyu. These two old men are Tom and Jerry," Shen An said, holding back his laughter. "No big, no small. How can you talk about your own grandparents like that?" the inspection personnel said with some slight dissatisfaction. In his eyes, to be traveling with two old men, they must be his elders. This person looked dignified and well-dressed, yet he showed no respect for his elders at all. Shen An’s face turned black. What the hell grandparents? My surname is Li, one of them is surnamed Tom and the other is surnamed Jerry. Can they be the same? "Alright, I understand. Can we enter the city now?" Shen An said sullenly. It was better to enter the Star Luo Empire as soon as possible. "You can. Show me your registration certificate from Spirit Hall again," the inspection personnel said. Shen An didn’t hesitate in the slightest. With a swish, he held up his grandpa Tom. Tom’s pocket watch swung, and the inspection personnel was instantly dazed. What a joke. For the two little ones who could reverse-hypnotize a Soul Sage, dealing with an ordinary inspection personnel was simply a piece of cake. This was a border city, so there were many people coming and going, and it was quite popular. Shen An entered among them like a fish into the sea, without causing a single ripple. Having arrived at a new place, of course, it was time for cultivation plus relaxation. Tom and Jerry were also very cheerful. When the two of them were at home, they were one way. When they were out, they were another way. For the two of them, in this cat (mouse) life, it was all about eating and drinking. Shen An soon saw a restaurant with a booming business. It looked like the decoration was also extremely good. He immediately led Tom and Jerry over. "Hey, have you seen a young man with a cat and a mouse?" Just as he was not far from the hotel entrance, a young girl came up to his face and asked. Shen An looked up. The young girl was tall and well-proportioned, with an extremely beautiful face, slightly slender, and a somewhat arrogant look in her eyes. "Haven’t seen him," Shen An answered honestly. Tom and Jerry behind him nodded seriously. We really haven’t seen him. We don’t look in the mirror. "Oh, thank you. I’m staying in the hotel next door. If you see him, please let me know. I, Bai Chenxiang~ will surely have a hefty reward." Shen An followed the direction of the young girl’s hand and looked. The so-called hotel was just a few small earthen houses. Originally a poor wretch. Shen An quietly gave Bai Chenxiang a label. "I can give you a lot of gold~ amount, silver soul coins." Bai Chenxiang had originally wanted to promise some gold soul coins. After all, Niu Gao had given their Agility Clan a considerable amount of money. But thinking about the difficult living situation of her clansmen, she couldn’t help but swallow the word "gold" and changed it to silver soul coins. "Ten! I’ll give you ten silver soul coins!" the poor, arrogant young girl said with great magnanimity, holding up her ten scallion-like fingers in front of Shen An. Shen An chuckled lightly. He would care about money? He’s a dog tycoon, okay? And, I’ve never seen a wanted criminal turn themselves in for a mere ten silver soul coins. Ignoring Bai Chenxiang, Shen An led Tom and Jerry past her, preparing to go and enjoy the delicacies of the Star Luo Empire. Bai Chenxiang, being ignored by Shen An, her face instantly couldn’t hold up. Her clan was poor, but they were abnormally proud. Being ignored by someone naturally made her feel very uncomfortable. Then the next moment, Bai Chenxiang watched with wide eyes as Shen An entered this most famous and also most expensive restaurant. And that little blue old man even turned his head back and stuck his tongue out at her provocatively. When she first arrived, she had also wanted to take her clansmen to eat a good meal. Then she learned that a meal here cost more than ten gold soul coins to start, and she had dismissed the idea. At this moment, Bai Chenxiang felt her little face was steaming hot. She said to Shen An’s back with feigned disdain, "Hmph, so what if you’re rich." Immediately, Bai Chenxiang lowered her proud head again. She admitted that she was a little resentful of the rich. "Sister Chenxiang, we didn’t find anyone with a cat and a mouse. We didn’t even see a cat’s shadow." A few more people came over, also with slightly thin figures. "Forget it. It’s definitely not something we can find in a short time. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal today!" Bai Chenxiang said with great magnanimity. Immediately, under the expectant gazes of her clansmen, she pointed to the high-end restaurant Shen An had gone to—’s neighboring rice noodle stall. Heaven have pity. The Agility Clan was poor. The Soul Douluo-level Bai He didn’t even have more than a hundred gold soul coins on him. In the restaurant, Shen An was half-lying on his seat, thinking about what he should do next. With his current accumulation, a Soul Emperor could be reached at any time. He just needed to find a quiet place. It was just that after becoming a Soul Emperor, it would be difficult to make a cross-level improvement in a short time. Unless there was a large amount of fame value coming in again. It was just that with great fame, it was inevitable that flaws would be exposed. Qian Daoliu had said that he wouldn’t allow a Titled Douluo-level figure to make a move, but if Bibi Dong were to feign compliance while secretly acting against him, Shen An would still have to face the pressure of the continent’s strongest. Shen An gradually had a thought in his mind. First go to the capital of the Star Luo Empire. The power of Spirit Hall is weakest there, and it’s most suitable. The matter of fame value can be put aside for now. I can just use this time to comprehend the way of the sword and improve my swordsmanship attainments. When the heat dies down, I’ll slowly emerge again. After all, a behemoth like Spirit Hall will definitely not waste its time to the death with him. Tang Hao is a very good example. When Shen An came back to his senses, the table before him was already a mess of cups and plates. Tom and Jerry were leisurely picking their teeth, their little bellies bulging. "Waiter, the bill!" Shen An said with a laugh. Then, what made Shen An’s jaw drop was that Tom actually threw out a money pouch. It was quite pink and tender, very girly, and even had a fat swallow embroidered on it. "Sorry sir, this bag of money may not be enough," the waiter said with difficulty. Shen An: "." Just after walking out of the restaurant, Shen An heard a quarrel and clamor from the side. He turned his head to look, and it was surprisingly the Bai Chenxiang from just now, arguing with the rice noodle stall owner. "I ate one bowl of noodles. Why should I pay for two bowls?" "There are five of you in total, but there are six bowls on the table. Someone must have eaten an extra bowl. Hurry up and bring the money. Everyone come and see, someone is trying to dine and dash." The surrounding busybody crowd all gathered around, one by one pointing fingers. Eating melons is human nature. Bai Chenxiang looked on with some grievance. She had only ordered five bowls. The extra empty bowl was clearly left by someone else. But now the crowd was growing larger and larger. At this moment, she, who had always been proud, felt a great sense of shame in her heart, and her eyes even welled up with mist. "I didn’t eat it, so I didn’t eat it. I don’t want to argue with you either. I’ll just give you the money for six bowls!" Bai Chenxiang reached out to touch her money pouch but found nothing. Instantly, her whole body shivered. Money? Where did my money go! Before leaving, her grandfather had given her all the money for this group’s food, clothing, and travel. Seeing that Bai Chenxiang fumbled for a long time and couldn’t produce anything, the rice noodle stall owner instantly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come here, everyone! Someone is trying to eat for free!" Shen An at the side couldn’t help but laugh. This girl was really interesting. Shen An could clearly feel a not-so-weak soul power fluctuation from Bai Chenxiang’s body, about the level of a Soul Elder. With the superiority of soul masters on the continent, Bai Chenxiang actually didn’t bully others with her power, but was instead the one being bullied. One could only say she was kind by nature. Bai Chenxiang was instantly flustered, her small face flushed red as she argued, "I didn’t! I just can’t find my wallet! Wait for me a moment, I will definitely be able to find it." Shen An instantly stopped laughing. He thought of the wallet embroidered with a fat swallow that Tom had taken out. He turned his head to look at Tom. Tom immediately whistled nonchalantly with a guilty conscience. Shen An was silent. This cat was also a top-tier pickpocket. Was there anything it couldn’t do??? Shen An squeezed into the crowd. This kind of naive and innocent girl type of soul master was quite rare. It was Tom who had taken her money in the first place. He still had to help her resolve the situation. Pa! A gold soul coin was slapped on the table. "Don’t make things difficult for the little girl. How much is it? I’ll pay. Is this enough!" The owner’s eyes instantly lit up. He grabbed the gold soul coin tightly in his hand and looked at Shen An with a beaming smile. "Enough, enough! Thank you, boss." He then turned to Bai Chenxiang and the others and put on a different face. "Hmph, if you don’t have money in the future, don’t come out to eat. How shameful!" Watching the speed at which the owner changed his face, Shen An didn’t say much more. After dispersing the surrounding busybody crowd, Shen An walked up to Bai Chenxiang. Looking at this wronged, weak-spirited young girl, he said, "It’s alright now. Let’s go. I’ll walk you." Bai Chenxiang’s eye sockets were red. She had a feeling of being a pear blossom in the rain, making one feel pity. "Thank you. You’re a good person," the young girl’s voice was slightly trembling as she looked at Shen An with gratitude. Immediately, she tugged on Shen An’s sleeve and said in a small voice, "You paid too much just now. One bowl of noodles is only five copper soul coins." Shen An smiled brightly. "It’s fine. They are all people trying to make a living. It’s not easy." "Oh, okay," a trace of envy flashed in Bai Chenxiang’s eyes. It’s good to be rich. The place where Bai Chenxiang was staying was just as she had pointed out. It was very close, not more than ten minutes’ walk in total. Along the way, this little girl was still fumbling in her clothes, trying to find her lost wallet. Shen An quietly glanced at Tom. Tom just smiled sheepishly. In front of the simple inn, Shen An took out a cloth bag embroidered with a cat. Inside were more than a hundred gold soul coins, many times more than what was in Bai Chenxiang’s. His own cat had stolen her money. He had to give an explanation. This girl’s every word and action revealed that she was a silly, sweet, white. How could he have the heart to bully a little girl? "Here, take it. It’s not easy being out here." Facing this sudden wallet, with Bai Chenxiang’s speed, she was actually in a bit of a flurry when she took it. Shen An casually waved his hand. "I still have things to do. I’m leaving." Bai Chenxiang really wanted to refuse this money pouch, but being penniless, she simply had no choice. "What’s your name? I am Bai Chenxiang of the Agility Clan. I will definitely repay this money to you!" "I see we are fated. No need to repay," Shen An waved his hand and turned his head. A hundred-odd gold soul coins was just a sprinkle of water. After returning to the inn, Bai Chenxiang, at the instigation of the others, opened the cloth bag. Then the next moment, a brilliant golden light shone. This was a huge sum of money they had never seen before. The sound of rapid breathing was heard in the room.
