Chapter 1175: Chapter 90 Location Chapter 1175: Chapter 90 Location “Martial Uncle Qu, why so formal?”
Wang Ba slightly stepped aside, blocking Qu Zhongqiu from continuing his salute.
Then he said with a chuckle:
“It’s been over a decade since our last eting, yet it seems Martial Uncle Qu’s cultivation base has beco even more formidable than before.”
Qu Zhongqiu’s face showed a bitter smile:
“Chief Division Master…”
Wang Ba feigned displeasure:
“Martial Uncle Qu, where is this ‘Chief Division Master’ talk coming from here?”
Qu Zhongqiu was taken aback and imdiately began to apologize:
“It’s my mistake, my mistake, Martial Nephew, Martial Nephew Wang, I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve beco muddleheaded…
Enough said, I wasn’t even notified of Martial Nephew’s visit, I will imdiately have the staff prepare a feast to welco and cleanse the dust from your journey.”
The sharpness from their last encounter had now been restrained a great deal.
Only then did Wang Ba break into a smile: “Then I shall enjoy a good al at Martial Uncle’s expense, and you mustn’t begrudge it.”
Qu Zhongqiu also concealed the weariness on his face and laughed:
“Haha, you coming here is giving face, so even if I feel pained, it won’t matter anymore.”
Having said that, he gestured with one hand for Wang Ba to follow.

Wang Ba imdiately took the lead and walked out.
Li Yingfu, who followed behind Wang Ba, saw the rush from before, now becoming leisurely, he imdiately felt a sense of urgency in his heart and couldn’t help but transmit his voice:
“Chief Division Master, why don’t you imdiately ask Guardian Qu?”
Wang Ba cald him without a change in his deanor:
“No rush.”
If Guardian Qu was on good terms with the acting sect master and now there was an unidentified insider, even if he truly had discovered sothing, he wouldn’t likely reveal it at will.
He followed Qu Zhongqiu out of the great hall where the Teleportation Array was.
...
Talking and laughing with Qu Zhongqiu along the way, there was no hint of inquisition.
Qu Zhongqiu also tacitly did not ask about Wang Ba’s purpose.
Soon, Qu Zhongqiu called over the cultivators on this side of the Sen State Ghost Market to accompany them.
The banquet began, and the toast cups crisscrossed.
After the third round of drinks.
Qu Zhongqiu lightly coughed.
At this signal, the guests at the banquet gave a start and started to excuse themselves one after another.
Li Yingfu glanced at Wang Ba, then took the initiative to leave and stood outside the great hall where the banquet was held.
Within the blink of an eye, the forrly bustling banquet was now left with only Qu Zhongqiu and Wang Ba.
After a brief silence in the hall, Qu Zhongqiu could finally not hold back anymore, his face carried a smile, but his eyes gradually sharpened as he looked at Wang Ba and took the initiative to ask:
“May I ask, Chief Division Master, what brings you here this ti?
Is there sothing I can help with?”
Seeing Qu Zhongqiu finally speaking up, Wang Ba’s expression remained calm:
“Nothing much, the sa purpose as Elder Du Wei’s visit before.”
“Elder Du Wei…”
Qu Zhongqiu’s complexion turned slightly ugly.
He was originally a disciple unearthed by Du Wei in Sen State, but later he switched allegiance to Lianqing Peak.
Although Du Wei was magnanimous and didn’t mind, Qu Zhongqiu felt awkward about it.
It was rare for anyone to bring up this na in his presence.
But Wang Ba’s raising of Du Wei’s na at this mont also stirred sothing in his heart.
He hesitated for a mont before speaking, “Chief Division Master, do you really have the sa purpose as…
Elder Du Wei?”
Wang Ba knew the other party understood his intentions, and with a thought, mana of the Wood and Earth elents from his Golden Core quickly diverged and erged from his body.
Sensing the sudden ergence of mana around Wang Ba, Qu Zhongqiu was slightly startled.
But Wang Ba looked at Qu Zhongqiu, his tone calm:
“Guardian Qu, I do not know if the two Martial Uncles had ever ntioned to you before…
I once studied under the two Martial Uncles, and with their protection, they hold the honor of being half my ntors.
No matter what the situation within the sect is, for , I must see the two Martial Uncles in life or have confirmation of their passing in death, otherwise, my Dao-heart will not be at peace!”
“I wonder, Guardian Qu, could you possibly help with this matter?”
Feeling the calm yet infinitely determined emotion in Wang Ba, Qu Zhongqiu’s expression subtly changed.
He couldn’t help but carefully feel the mana that Wang Ba deliberately revealed once again.
A flicker of complexity crossed his eyes:
“Yao…
Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi did not teach you in vain…”
His heart couldn’t help but sigh.
Where in the world had Yao Wudi found such a disciple, so young and with a modest realm?
Last ti he saw him, there was hardly an edge to him.
Yet, now on a second look, he has the makings of a Great Cultivator with an awe-inspiring presence.
Most importantly, a Dao-heart as firm as iron.
From his words, it was clear that even though he knew the matter was complex, with even peak Nascent Soul and Immortal Ascension cultivators entangled in it, he still resolutely went forward.
Such a character, if he does not fall prematurely, might one day ascend to the Realm of Immortal Ascension, becoming a pillar of the sect.
“No wonder Teacher Xun, even though disliking the Dharma Lineage, still made an exception to promote him.”
With these thoughts, he turned his mind and suddenly spoke up:
“Ever since you left over ten years ago, Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi have been searching for several disciples previously missing in Sen State within the sect.
Considering that their soul lamps in the Rende Hall have not been extinguished, they surmised those disciples must be trapped sowhere and hence have been searching everywhere.”
As Qu Zhongqiu started to speak, Wang Ba knew the other party chose to trust him, and imdiately pricked up his ears.
Qu Zhongqiu seed to reminisce as he said:
“A year ago, from a Rogue Cultivator’s description, they accidentally discovered a trace similar to that of the missing disciple from Xinjian Peak, Lu Yu.”
“Lu Yu?”
Wang Ba couldn’t help showing a look of surprise.
Qu Zhongqiu nodded:
“Yes, as far as I know, that Lu Yu is a Sword Cultivator with sharp moves, very distinctive characteristics.
Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi judged based on these traits, thinking that perhaps Lu Yu had escaped captivity, but thereafter, they never received reports of Lu Yu returning to the sect or reporting to the Ghost Market.”
