Chapter 352: Chapter 10 Search_2

As his gaze swept across Wang Ba, he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise:

“I didn’t expect Zhao, who usually doesn’t participate in market transactions, not only got an invitation from the Shanli Changyi Society but also managed to utilize the essence of Spirit Chicken. It seems I’ve underestimated you in the past.”

“Hehe, you’re too modest, Mu.”

Wang Ba casually responded to the underlying sarcasm in his words, then picked up his tea and sipped it leisurely.

He didn’t particularly care about the thoughts of these people, even if his opponents were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

However, he couldn’t help but contemplate whether there were any oversights in his upcoming plan with Wen Yong.

Seeing this, the blue-robed cultivator felt slighted, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

However, fearing Wang Ba’s unknown strength, he dared not reveal his emotions.

There were few rogue cultivators who had survived to the Foundation Establishment stage that would act impulsively due to anger.

The cultivators soon started chatting again casually.

The cultivator with the black face, unable to get the result he wanted, returned to the table he was previously at.

However, at that moment.

The teahouse suddenly quieted down.

Faintly, the cultivators in the teahouse seemed to hear a vague, restless noise coming from outside.

Quickly, the restless noise amplified in everyone’s ears, becoming clearer.

“…Run!”

“Sect cultivators are coming!”

“It’s the Xuli Sect!”

“There’s a Sealing Array above!”

In an instant.

The faces of everyone in the teahouse changed drastically!

Soon, several fleeing rogue cultivators flashed past the teahouse entrance.

Wang Ba’s face also darkened involuntarily, his Spiritual Sense swept out, and his expression turned even grimmer.

“Two late-stage Foundation Establishments, one of which might be close to peak.”

“Sixteen early and middle-stage Foundation Establishments…”

He immediately shimmered and was the first to fly out of the teahouse.

The blue-robed cultivator behind him only saw a blur before Wang Ba disappeared from his sight, a look of surprise surfaced on his face.

“Such speed!”

“This Zhao fellow is no ordinary person!”

The blue-robed cultivator’s mind raced, but he had no time to think further, he hurriedly followed and flew out too.

Meanwhile, Wang Ba had already released his Spiritual Sence to its limits.

He saw tens of Xuli Sect cultivators in the sky overlooking with indifferent and mocking looks.

He saw hundreds of rogue cultivators scattered and fleeing as if a great disaster was upon them.

However, throughout the entire rogue cultivator assembly area, he did not detect the aura of Bu Chan.

A sense of relief washed over Wang Ba, it was a good thing that Bu Chan wasn’t here. If something should happen, he could run away without any worries.

Bu Chan had a Sound Transmission Talisman, so he didn’t have to worry about being unable to find him.

He quickly flew toward his home.

But then.

A buzzing noise suddenly rang out from the sky!

In the blink of an eye, Wang Ba felt a sense of danger and abruptly halted!

Whoosh!

A stream of sword-light landed less than three inches in front of Wang Ba, creating a huge trench.

If he hadn’t stopped just then, he might have been struck by the sword-light!

“Everyone, stay where you are and don’t move!”

“Rest assured! We aren’t here to make things difficult for you, but merely to prevent any Demon Cultivators outside of Yan State from hiding here.”

“This is also for your safety.”

“Of course, if anyone dares to resist, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

One of the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators floating in the sky chuckled leisurely.

His voice echoed throughout the entire rogue cultivator assembly area.

At the same time, numerous cultivators from Xuli Sect, taking advantage of their ability to fly, had already landed on the periphery, blocking the rogue cultivators’ escape routes.

The entire rogue cultivator assembly area suddenly quieted down, as if frozen in time.

Wang Ba surveyed with his Spiritual Sence, seeing each rogue cultivator standing rigidly, not daring to move an inch, just like before when the rogue cultivator assembly area was controlled by Huifeng Valley.

“The rogue cultivators of Yan State seem to have been scared…”

Wang Ba secretly sighed.

In the past, even after heavy losses to the Incense Fire Dao and Tianmen Cult, the rogue cultivators of Chen State rallied together in Qianyu Lake, daring to confront the Incense Fire Dao from across the lake.

In contrast, rogue cultivators in Yan State rarely resisted, allowing themselves to be bullied by sect cultivators.

If everyone else stayed put and he was the only one trying to escape now, he’d likely attract the attack of all Xuli Sect cultivators present.

If the Spirit Beasts were with him, he might have dared to fight these cultivators.

However, for the sake of facilitating the cultivation of the Wu Monkey King and Jia 15 earlier, he didn’t bring them along. Only some of the Spirit Beasts were in his Spirit Beast Bag.

Though he cann’t help but feel slightly reassured – if worse comes to worst, he could rush home, use the incomplete Class III Defense Array to momentarily hold them off and activate a Teleportation Talisman to escape right away. That being said, unless it’s absolutely necessary, he wasn’t inclined to do that.

After all, Bu Chan might be nearby, and escaping now might mean missing him.

So for now, he could only seize the opportunity and adapt as things went along.

At the same time.

The cultivators of Xuli Sect had descended from mid-air.

Their expressions were relaxed, their bodies only symbolically emitting the glow of a few defensive talismans, showing no sign of nervousness.

“Don’t move, once we’ve completed the search and if there’s no problem, we won’t harm any of you. Don’t act impulsively and risk your lives!”

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xuli Sect announced.

By his side, several Xuli Sect cultivators quickly started interrogating individual rogue cultivators.
