Chapter 371

"Ah?" Both Duan Li and Liu Sheng Duhai was stupefied with what the Extermination Knights was calling him.

This was especially so for Liu Sheng Duhai, his mind went into a daze for a short moment before clenching his fists tight.

Paying respects to the Great Patriarch Liu your head!!

One has to know that Patriarch Liu has never appeared in public for the last 300 years! He was someone that practiced the old ascetics way of life and had completely severed his ties with the mundane world!

Unless it was absolutely necessary for him to intervene for the sake of the Liu Clan's survival, not even the destruction of the Liu Empire would faze him into making an action!

In addition, the Patriarch himself did not fancy wearing armors, not to mention full plate armors and preferred more of using robes!

After all, being someone in the top apex of power in the world of cultivation, there were not many that could injure their physical body!

Still, he understood their reasoning behind their misunderstanding, so he had no choice but to suppress the agitated feeling he had inside.

Had this been any other occasion, he would have long pummeled them half foot into their grave for mistaking their great Patriarch as someone else!

Hais!

"Hmm. It would be the best for you all to be prudent in your words, and speak non of this again. Also, from now on, do not call me that!" Duan Li waved his hand as he made use of their misunderstanding to solidify his standing and identity among them!

They are mistaking me as someone else? Eh, I'll just play along then!

Seeing the Great Patriarch of the Liu Clan looking displeased, the Extermination Knights bowed their heads even lower and apologized as they were scared into their wits!

This was the Great Patriarch they were talking about here, and a single wave from his hand would be enough to sever their flesh and skin from their bones!

Furthermore, they were fearful of being punished like their fellow comrade You Wing. If they were to be stripped naked like that, wouldn't they have lost all their dignity immediately?

Who could have thought that the Great Patriarch of the royal Liu Clan would be so... particular in his means?

Indeed as the rumors said, the apex cultivators of the Tian continent were all eccentric individuals and does things quite differently than others!

"T-Then, how should we address you E-Elder?" their leader said hesitantly.

"Hmm." Unbeknownst to him that he had just shifted the image of the honorable and Great Patriarch of the royal Liu Clan into something that could make the person himself to commit suicide in shame, Duan Li cupped the chin of his helmet as he pondered deep like an expert contemplating on the meaning of life.

"You can call me.. Supreme Elder!" Duan Li finally made up his mind.

"Yes! Supreme Elder!" the Extermination Knights swiftly understood the reasoning behind this new alias of his!

Perhaps the Great Patriarch wanted to be low profile and that was why he was like this!

En! That should be the case!

Meanwhile, Liu Sheng Duhai also nodded in satisfaction of Duan Li's choice of name as it sounded powerful enough. Since Duan Li was posing as their Great Patriarch, it was good for them too if viewed from another perspective!

After all, although their Great Patriarch was powerful as well, he was not as overpowered as Duan Li! Therefore, if their enemy misunderstood their Great Patriarch to have such an overwhelming power, who would dare to look down on them again?

With a suave turn, Duan Li then said with solemn voice, "Let us depart!"

...

Pshh!! Pshh!!

"Its an ambush! Disperse!" the bald and overweight bandit leader quickly commanded his minions after they were suddenly attacked from behind!

"Who is it? Who dares to sneak attack the great Busheng? Come out!" he bellowed in fury as his veins popped out from his temples.

He was too focused on seeing his enemy got baited with the bandits he sent forward to attack the gates in order to test the waters, yet who knew that the enemy would take that opportunity to attack them instead?

Dammit!

Roughly counting, of the 80 bandits that came along with him to the Spring Blossom village, 24 were killed instantaneously by the ambush! This was a scary number for him!

Granted that they were all trash with their cultivation realm only in the Early stage of the Qi Condensation realm, they were still his minions and meat shields!

Ducking down inside a one meter deep natural trench along with his men, he then assessed the location from where the ambush came from and was going to burn their image into his mind!

However, what he saw was only the gustling of sand and a dung beetle rolling up a big dump of sh*t.

"Ah? There is no one?"

This cannot be! How are they able to disappear so suddenly!

"Wait.. why are there so many chickens there? Are the village rearing this poultry animal outside their gates?"

Could it be.. that these chickens were the ones that ambushed them and the dung beetle was their leader?

Pah!

He then slapped himself in the face to stop this thoughts of his, "I must be going senile to even count that as a possibility! Damn it all!"

"Peel open your eyes! They must be nearby!" he instructed with gritted teeth!

Right after he said this, screams were suddenly heard from behind him!

Pshh!! Pshhh!!

"Ahhh!!"

"We are under attack!"

It turns out that the advance party that he sent to attack the gate was also ambushed somehow from the bush beside them!

When he narrowed his eyes to look for the enemies, he still found no one but a pack of chickens!

Could it possibly be?

F*ck!

"Slaughter those chickens! There are something wrong with them!" he quickly commanded, trusting his instinct this time around!

"Ah? Great Heavenly Immortal are you sure?" his men were dumbfounded and thought that their leader misspoke.

Pahh!!

Busheng could no longer tolerate it and slapped a few of his men harshly!

"Go and kill those chickens now or die!!"

...

Far in the distance, a cavalry of bandits in a neat formation observed the current happenings outside the gate of the Spring Blossom village from afar with dumbfounded expression.

"Why are they.. chasing chickens?"

...
