His three-hundred-pound master sat in the flying carriage, looking at him with a profound gaze.
Hongi had developed murderous intent. He had just looted Golden Light Pavilion, offending the Immortal Alliance Foundation Establishnt cultivator backing it.
The two brothers, Yulou and Yu'an, knew about this. In the future, this knowledge could beco a tool for the Wang Clan to control him!
Under the control of the Immortal Alliance, all Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the Wunan Basin had to enter the control system of the "Immortal Alliance - Ten Sects." Hongi did not want to be restricted by the Wang Clan, so his greed was swiftly followed by a desire to kill.
A desire to kill his own two disciples!
Their master-disciple relationship was rely transactional, and Hongi did not feel reassured!
Yulou was absolutely certain that he couldn't block even a casual strike from Hongi.
This was a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Condensation realm who was on the verge of attempting Foundation Establishnt. In the Wunan Cultivation World, as long as he didn't provoke the lapdogs of the Immortal Alliance or the Ten Sects, he was invincible.
An invincible Peak Qi Condensation realm cultivator.
It sounded like a joke, but Hongi had just effortlessly slaughtered all the rogue cultivators and the people of Golden Light Pavilion as proof.
Without a Foundation Establishnt cultivator present, Hongi—a Peak Qi Condensation realm expert with profound path attainnt and an unknown lineage—was truly invincible!
His crimson eyebrows relaxed as he chuckled, feigning annoyance.
"What are you two brats doing? I was just wondering if we should pick up your clan uncle before we leave."
He was also absolutely certain that he could easily end these two disciples—end these two disciples who had witnessed his murder and arson!
He didn't even need to use his trump card, the Golden Jade Radiance Tower. Just two flying swords and two breaths of ti, and these two little things would die without a burial place.
No one would ever know about the looting of Golden Light Pavilion.
However...
Wang Rongsheng knew they had co to Golden Light Pavilion!
After reaching Foundation Establishnt, Hongi still had to mingle within the Immortal Alliance system. He could not kill the children of the Wang Clan!
Unless he could kill Wang Rongsheng as well!
"There's no need for that, Master. I believe Clan Uncle can protect himself," Yulou replied, having already figured out the crux of the matter.
Hongi's earlier hesitation stemd entirely from apprehension!
If Hongi killed them, he would hardly escape death even after reaching Foundation Establishnt!
Therefore, even while inside the formation array, Yulou didn't have to worry about Hongi suddenly lashing out.
Under Yu'an's bewildered gaze, Yulou actually boarded the flying carriage.
"Yu'an, hurry up and get on!" Hongi urged, feeling incredibly stifled in his heart.
The temptation of Foundation Establishnt had driven him to take a massive risk. He wanted to kill these two little brats to eliminate future troubles, but Wang Rongsheng's existence made him hesitate out of fear of the consequences.
It was stifling. Unbelievably stifling.
"Co on up. Clan Uncle told us to find Master, which ans he has his own ways to preserve his life in this chaos. You don't need to worry about Uncle Rongsheng."
Yulou also smiled and urged Yu'an.
Hongi was already beginning to regret this. This little bastard Yulou was too clear-headed; so clear-headed that he didn't seem like a sixteen-year-old youth at all.
He understood everything. He knew everything. That was exactly why he was so fearless!
Just a mont ago, when his murderous intent spiked, he hadn't hidden his intentions well enough.
Now, it was too late.
Out of trust for his older brother, Yu'an suppressed his fear and sat down beside him.
With a dark expression, Hongi deactivated the formation array. He didn't know what the future held, and a trace of dread even crept into his heart.
Wang Xianmao was a seasoned Foundation Establishnt cultivator ard with divine abilities, and Wang Jingyi was a direct disciple of Xuanzhuan and a Core Disciple of the Red Lantern Illumination Sect.
Patriarch Mangxiang was attempting to attain Golden Core. As his subordinate faction, the Wang Clan's status would also rise with Patriarch Mangxiang's ascension.
'Will my Foundation Establishnt go smoothly?'
'How will the Wang Clan treat ?'
Greed could blind a person's mind. Tempted by being just one step away from Foundation Establishnt, Hongi had failed to suppress his desires after taking a risk, giving rise to murderous intent.
Now, no amount of regret would help!
As the formation array ca down, the Spirit-Calming Mist outside had largely dissipated. Yulou imdiately looked up at the great formation in the sky.
The array had already been breached from the inside and outside by the people of Valley Spirit Sect. The Wondrous Peak Mountain cultivator nad Jiuqu was clearly unable to hold the line any longer.
However, the chaotic situation in Hidden Dragon Market wouldn't be resolved anyti soon. The rogue cultivators trying to fish in troubled waters would never miss such a golden opportunity.
Just as Hongi was about to drive the flying carriage away, an unexpected person appeared.
"It is good that you are all right!"
Yulou's expression changed instantly, and Hongi halted his attempt to power the flying carriage.
Looking at Wang Rongsheng who had appeared before him, Hongi fell into a struggle of hesitation once more.
Hidden Dragon Market was in absolute chaos today. No one would be able to investigate this later!
He could kill all three of them, fly far away, and attempt Foundation Establishnt in a place far from the Red Lantern Illumination Sect.
If he didn't kill them, the fact that he looted Golden Light Pavilion would beco the chains the Wang Clan used to bind him!
One at early Qi Condensation, two at the Qi Drawing realm.
Three breaths of ti. All he needed was three breaths!
To kill, or not to kill. That was the question.
"Uncle Rongsheng, watch out for him!"
The mont Hongi began to hesitate, Yulou had already raised his Escape Talisman, signaling Wang Rongsheng to be wary of their master.
Wang Rongsheng was stunned for a mont, and so was Hongi.
The Wang Clan's family heirloom wasn't so cultivation thod or a magic treasure, but it was incredibly useful—extrely useful, to be exact.
Prompted by Yulou's warning, Wang Rongsheng flickered and imdiately retreated thirty ters away.
Wang Rongsheng's subconscious retreat bought him ti to think and completely shattered Hongi's indecision.
"Why would you need to watch out for ? Fellow Daoist Rongsheng, let us leave together."
Looking at the dryly chuckling Hongi, the blazing fire consuming Golden Light Pavilion, and the Escape Talisman in Yulou's hand, Wang Rongsheng understood everything.
With a slight tremble of his body, he revealed his sixth-stage Qi Refining cultivation base. He also pulled out a Hundred-Li Wanderer Escape Talisman, leaving Hongi absolutely dumbfounded.
Yulou and Yu'an were also flabbergasted. Uncle Rongsheng wasn't at the early Qi Condensation stage?
This...
An early Qi Condensation cultivator was nothing more than an appetizer in front of soone at the Peak Qi Condensation realm—the difference between chewing a few tis and swallowing whole. But a sixth-stage Qi Refining cultivator was completely different. Wang Rongsheng could at least exchange a few blows.
One had to know that every single Qi Refining disciple of the Wang Clan was equipped with a Hundred-Li Wanderer Escape Talisman as standard issue!
The Hundred-Li Wanderer Escape Talisman used processed eighth-grade donkey hide as its base, mixed various spiritual materials for ink, gathered multiple types of spiritual energy, and was finally drawn by a Foundation Establishnt stage cultivator.
The creator of this batch of Escape Talismans for the Wang Clan was Wang Xianmao. Once activated, the user could fly a distance of a hundred miles at the speed of a mid-Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
And just over thirty miles away from Hidden Dragon Market, there was the territory of a Foundation Establishnt Immortal Clan affiliated with the Red Lantern Illumination Sect.
This hundred-mile flight speed advantage was essentially a death-immunity dallion for the Wang Clan's Qi Refining cultivators against peers of the sa realm!
As long as you didn't leave the territory of the Red Lantern Illumination Sect, you could use the Hundred-Li Wanderer Escape Talisman freely, leaving your enemies eating dust!
"Alright. Fellow Daoist Hongi, you go first. I will follow behind you," Wang Rongsheng replied calmly.
He didn't know Yulou very well, but he believed the children of his own clan much more than an outsider!
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I—"
Yulou directly interrupted Hongi's words!
"Clan Uncle, just follow slowly behind the flying carriage. We will fly ten miles first, then take a break and proceed slowly. There is no rush!"
'Master, stop acting. Enough is enough!'
'My Clan Uncle is at the sixth stage of Qi Refining. If you still want to smoothly achieve Foundation Establishnt, you have no choice but to listen to us!'
'Yes, your path attainnt is profound, and you could start anew sowhere else.'
'But if you want to reach Foundation Establishnt, you must submit to the Immortal Alliance's system!'
'You don't have a choice!'
Wang Rongsheng and Yulou both stared at Hongi, and Hongi could no longer force a smile.
Wang Rongsheng had hidden his cultivation; he was not at the early Qi Condensation stage.
Even Wang Yulou and Wang Yu'an had Hundred-Li Wanderer Escape Talismans.
He ssed up. He completely ruined it!
A team led by a Peak Qi Condensation realm cultivator and backed by a sixth-stage Qi Refining cultivator was not sothing any rogue cultivator wanted to provoke.
They didn't have many people, and their overall strength wasn't imnse, but comparatively speaking, lone, easy targets were far more appealing to the bandits.
Driving the carriage in silence, the group quickly flew out of Hidden Dragon Market.
After flying for about seven or eight miles, Wang Rongsheng was the first to speak up.
"Fellow Daoist Hongi, let us stop. We will rest for a while."
He needed to ensure he always maintained enough mana—he had fully understood Yulou's underlying ssage!
As long as he, the Clan Uncle, had the opportunity to escape, Hongi wouldn't dare strike to silence them all!
Helpless, Hongi landed the magical artifact carriage on the ground. He pretended to lack mana and began to replenish it.
But he soon realized that his disguise was utterly useless.
Wang Rongsheng seed to possess a wood spirit root as well. Using a spell, he created a high stool the height of a three-story building. Sitting in mid-air from a distance, he stared coldly at Hongi.
At this mont, he wasn't Wang Rongsheng; he was Hongi's exclusive wall-facer!
If Hongi dared to try anything funny, he, the wall-facer Wang Rongsheng, would definitely make him realize what inescapable doom ant!
The Wang Clan was just too damn steady!
