Chapter 531 - Who Will Be The Next Head (1/2)

On February 2, 2019, Elder Ancestor Bai was suppressed in Morality City by Vigilante A.

When the news spread, it caused a huge uproar.

No one expected that the Royal Giant Rats leader that was so good at hiding would actually be defeated by Vigilante A.

After all, he was not a regular devil, he was the leader of a great force, a future Greater Rat demon god, but he had fallen instead.

It could be seen that the path of cultivation was extremely arduous.

Even someone as cautious and timid as Elder Ancestor Bai would be met with misfortune after just one careless mistake.

Rumor had it that Elder Ancestor Bai only stepped into Vigilante A’s arcane realm to persuade his only son, which was why he could not escape and ended up being suppressed.

This was yet another example of strength cheats…

As their philosophies differed, the father and son fell out with each other. Such things were common occurrences, it was just a repeated affair.

However, the son defrauded his father and was well-liked by the masses. People liked these kinds of gossip best.

At first, it was Nezha and Li Jing 1 , and now it was the Royal Giant Rats.

The Giant Rat Underground Kingdom was already in chaos.

A snake could not function without its head, like what Elder Ancestor Bai said before himself. Now that he was not around as ‘head’, the entire Greater Rat Clan was immediately plunged into disorder.

Chaos begets crisis. To many people, a crisis was dangerous, but to a handful, it was an opportunity.

‘Who will be the next head’ became the most important question.

Bai Shixin had already met hordes of people in his house.

They all had their purpose. Some asked what they were supposed to do now, some wanted him to take the initiative to maintain the situation, and some wanted to find a means of support…

Bai Shixin brushed through these people perfunctorily until the arrival of a certain person, whom he then ushered into the study to have a private discussion with.

“Eldest Brother, that old demon sins finally caught up to him. He brought upon his own destruction. I never thought this would happen!” Bai Shifu, the Greater Rat Clan’s current Military Affairs high official, lamented.

“Haha, this is called seeing him build a skyscraper and attend to the banquet guests, then watching his building collapse. He thought that just because he had the protection of Heavenly Merit as well as the fact that his biological son was the other party’s subordinate, Vigilante A would not be able to lay a hand on him. However, he overlooked Vigilante A’s nature, which led to this happening.” Bai Shixin shook his head.

He thought of getting someone else to do the dirty work before, but it was easily solved by the other party. He never thought that it would be the person himself who sent himself to his death. He lost because of his only weakness.

“Vigilante A’s nature? What’s that? Brother, could you explain?” Bai Shifu asked in confusion.

“He hates evil as one does one’s enemy,” said Bai Shixin lightly, “The evil deeds that old demon did weren’t limited to just one or two. Furthermore, he was the leader. He had to take responsibility for everything people like us did. Vigilante A never touched him before because he could make the Greater Rats revolt at any time. However, now that he put on a disguise and left the hideout, he doesn’t have that advantage anymore. Vigilante A’s memory is superb so he won’t forget any of that. Once he has the chance, he would definitely get even.”

Bai Shifu’s shivered and said lowly, “Then, in your opinion, how should we clean up?”

He could not help but to be afraid. Even someone as strong as the Elder Ancestor had been suppressed by just one move from Vigilante A. No matter how deeply he cultivated, how could he compare to the Elder Ancestor who managed to sweet-talk the Heavenly Axiom?

Furthermore, he had done many things against humans before, like stealing techniques and secrets and kidnapping human geniuses.

His only saving grace was that he had been a spy before, so in order to prevent himself by being discovered by human Powerhouses, he did not have a single drop of human blood in his hands. This was something that even the old demon had approved of.

He was not like his peers who ate countless human cultivating geniuses to accelerate their cultivating speed over the past ten years while Vitality was rare.
