Chapter 1424: Chapter 641: Lai Baifan_2
The quarry workers were stunned, who was so bold as to dare lay a hand on Mr. Ge?
A few workers wanted to watch the excitement, but were whipped several times by the overseer beside them: “What are you looking at? Is your work done? Do you still wish to see the Ancestral Master? Still want to Enter the Path Gateway? Still want to have dinner tonight?”
Ge Yugen swung his whip towards Li Banfeng: “You blind fools, dare to cause trouble here, today the Ancestral Master is not around, I’ll teach you the rules on behalf of the Ancestral Master!”
This man had great confidence, knowing well that Li Banfeng was skilled, yet he showed no fear at all.
After missing with several swings, Ge Yugen shouted to the crowd: “Get them, beat them to death, if they die, I’ll take responsibility. If today they leave the quarry unharmed, I’ll crawl in front of you forever!”
Everyone at the quarry admired him, though Mr. Ge was mean and nasty at times, he was truly tough when needed.
The group rushed forward to attack Li Banfeng; Li Banfeng couldn’t be bothered to defend, with Ge Yugen at that level, how much better could the others be?
Dumpling used the Searching Ink Technique, summoning writings to knock down this group of overseers.
Once collapsed on the ground, trying to stand up became difficult again; Light Bulb spilled oil everywhere, dozens of people kicked and thrashed, rolling around on the ground.
They couldn’t get up, but Light Bulb stood steady on the oil, wielding a knife to bleed each one, Dumpling assisted from the side, keeping the writings hovering in mid-air, unaffected by the oil and water below.
Looking at these overseers, they had some cultivation level, but most were at the First Layer; in front of Dumpling at the Fifth Layer and Light Bulb at the Third Layer, they were no match at all.
In less than two minutes, the group was subdued by Light Bulb and Dumpling, lying on the ground not daring to get up.
Light Bulb approached Ge Yugen and asked: “Who just said they would crawl?”
Ge Yugen’s face turned pale, but he didn’t relent: “If you have the guts, don’t leave; wait until our Store Manager arrives, he’ll skin you all alive!”
Li Banfeng looked at Ge Yugen and said: “Who is your Store Manager? Is it the Ancestral Master?”
Ge Yugen shook his head: “The Ancestral Master is usually not here, we are managed by the Store Manager now, I’ll just go find him, if you admit defeat now, compensate me and this matter is settled; if not, when our Store Manager truly arrives, don’t regret it!”
Li Banfeng and Ge Yugen discussed: “How about this, you let someone else find the Store Manager, and you take us for a good tour.”
Ge Yugen pursed his lips: “Only I can invite the Store Manager, no one else can!”
A group of overseers volunteered: “We can, we can all bring the Store Manager over.”
This group really didn’t want to get beaten anymore.
“Don’t listen to them…” Ge Yugen hadn’t finished speaking when Light Bulb held him on the ground, tied a rope around his neck, and restrained him.
Light Bulb kicked Ge Yugen to the ground: “Let’s go, show us around first.”
Ge Yugen lay on the ground, still not yielding: “I’ll advise you once more, leaving now is still possible.”
Light Bulb raised the whip and struck Ge Yugen several times: “Stop talking so much, move faster!”
Ge Yugen gritted his teeth and walked forward, after reaching the hillside, he secretly glanced back at Light Bulb.
Kid, just you wait.
When the Store Manager arrives, I’ll slice off your tongue first, then chop off your hand.
Not chopping is fine too, this kid looks quite handsome, by then I’ll gift him to the Store Manager…
Pop!
The sound of two whips interrupted Ge Yugen’s fantasy.
Light Bulb swung the whip and shouted: “Haven’t you eaten? Start running!”
Ge Yugen led the three of them around the quarry, Li Banfeng saw many Three-Headed People working here.
He approached one of them, asking: “What are you still doing here? Waiting for the Medicinal Powder to Enter the Path?”
The three heads of the Three-Headed Person nodded together, the middle head said: “The Ancestral Master said, our opportunity hasn’t run out, as long as we’re sincere, we still have the chance to Enter the Path Gateway.”
Becoming a Three-Headed Person means not becoming a Body Cultivator, this is something every Person of Puluo State knows clearly.
But this Three-Headed Person still held onto the last strand of hope, preferring to endure hardships and suffering here, he wished he could become a legitimate Body Cultivator.
Do other Three-Headed People think the same? Is there not one who has figured it out?
There are quite a few indeed, many Three-Headed People know they’ll never Enter the Path in this lifetime, but where could they go? Unless they voluntarily go to the City of Sinners and become criminals for life, otherwise Three-Headed People are not welcomed anywhere.
Light Bulb led Ge Yugen down the slope, suffering whip blows along the way, eventually Ge Yugen gave in, answering whatever Li Banfeng asked.
He said their Store Manager is called Tie Tuzi, a prominent figure at the Three-Head Fork.
Li Banfeng thought Ge Yugen spoke truthfully, Tie Tuzi, just hearing the name sounded impressive.
“What is the relation between Tie Tuzi and the Body Cultivation Ancestral Master?”
“Our Head of the family is the disciple of the Ancestral Master; the business at Luobo Mountain is all managed by our Store Manager.”
It seems the Ancestral Master’s business is not limited to one place.
Light Bulb intended to visit the workers’ residence; suddenly saw all the workers on the mountain picking up tools, working diligently, not a single one dared to watch any more excitement.
Their bodies trembled, uncontrollably shivering.
The overseers who were originally lying on the ground were now each rubbing their fists, rejuvenated.
Light Bulb looked into the distance and saw the Store Manager Tie Tuzi leading about thirty people into the quarry.
Tie Tuzi was indeed bald, his shiny head exceptionally eye-catching in the snowy terrain, he glanced at the restrained Ge Yugen, then at Light Bulb: “Walking blindly without a lantern, without seeing whose mountain stronghold you’ve entered.”
