Even with Wang Ba’s full strength, he completely lacks confidence.
Just as Wang Ba was hesitating, Zhu Ziji suddenly spoke:
“Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Li Canghai has more than a dozen Class II cultivators around him. To block them, I need at least eight or nine more teams, maybe even more.”
“Moreover, those small fry from the Incense Fire Dao have all gathered here. If you want to return to base, you must pass through here and you’ll inevitably encounter them.”
“Instead of fighting alone when the ti cos, why not follow and eliminate Canghai now. It’ll be easier to escape.”
Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba secretly glanced at Hua ng.
“Senior, there’s no problem with what Elder Zhu said. If we were to return, we either have to go this way or detour from the south-eastern direction of the Mountain Sea Sect. Either way is too far, and we’ll have to cross the territory occupied by Incense Fire Dao…”
Hua ng transmitted in secret.
Mountain Sea Sect?
Wang Ba rejected this route straight away, for he hadn’t forgotten about the disciple he’d killed at the sect’s front door.
After so quiet deliberations, Wang Ba could only choose to accept.
As Zhu Ziji had said, since all the Incense Fire Dao cultivators in the vicinity had gathered here, he would certainly encounter them if he wanted to return.
If he couldn’t quickly defeat the opponent, the constant arrival of Incense Fire Dao cultivators would create a do or die situation.
In this sense, his chances of returning might be even greater if he followed Zhu Ziji.
However, he also needs to guard against Zhu Ziji from faking his death if the situation becos unfavorable.
Thinking this, Wang Ba had no choice but to salute and say:
“I am willing to follow Elder Zhu.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziji’s face broke into a satisfied nod.
Then he reached out his hand, and a Heavenly Gate Order began to ascend above his palm.
Not knowing what he did, he soon showed a look of joy:
“Good, there are a few teams nearby! I have asked them to co over!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba felt relieved.
He was really afraid of being the only one recruited by Zhu Ziji. If there was another Foundation Establishnt Competitor, there would be another person to share the risk.
Zhu Ziji soon took out his storage ring, which Wang Ba hadn’t noticed before – probably a result of so special technique.
Zhu Ziji took out so elixirs and began to consu and refine them.
His aura quickly recovered.
The scars on his waist and abdon began to scar over.
Not long after, a team cautiously flew over.
The leader was dressed in a red and black Daoist robe, his aura was powerful and richer than Wang Ba’s. He was clearly a middle-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, expressly a disciple of the Tiann Cult.
Then ca the second, and the third.
By the ti Zhu Ziji finished his ceremony, with him as the center, there were nearly ten Foundation Establishnt cultivators around him.
“Good, enough! You guys will follow later, block those Incense Fire Dao mobs for , Canghai is mine,” Zhu Ziji announced, looking at the others with a satisfied nod.
The cultivators didn’t make a sound.
Almost ten Foundation Establishnt cultivators, in fact, most of them didn’t want to follow Zhu Ziji to besiege Canghai.
But they had no choice. The Incense Fire Dao cultivators had blocked the road back to the Tiann Cult for everyone. If they wanted to break through the line of defense of the Incense Fire Dao cultivators by themselves, it was less likely than if they reached Core Formation on the spot.
Zhu Ziji closed his eyes to sense sothing, then suddenly opened his eyes and pointed in a direction:
“If I am not mistaken, Canghai is in that direction!”
“Follow !”
Imdiately, a group of people followed behind Zhu Ziji, heading in the direction of Canghai and his party.
Wang Ba, among them, found himself gradually moving to the front.
A sweep of his Spiritual Sense revealed a few Foundation Establishnt cultivators purposefully slowing down and falling behind.
“A bunch of old slickers!”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
How could he not see what these people were thinking? They all wanted to stay in the back and preserve their strength!
What’s worse, he had the sa thought!
However, before he could act, his heart suddenly jolted!
At the limit of his Spiritual Sense, he saw a group of profound Incense Fire Dao cultivators drinking wine in a tall city. Among them, a man of robust build stood at the rear of the crowd. He was much more powerful and formidable than the ordinary Incense Fire Dao cultivators.
Facing Zhu Ziji’s storm-like approach, the man seed a bit surprised at first, but then a grin appeared on his face!
“So you didn’t die? So you must be that Butcher Dao. This ti, I’ll crush your soul bit by bit and see how you co back to life!”
With that, he tossed away his wine cup and swung his hand.
The surrounding Incense Fire Dao cultivators dispersed orderly as if they had received an order, their talismans and magic tools… were heading towards the cultivators of the Tiann Cult!
A group of them secretly summoned their Destined Ghost internally and cast spells.
On the Tiann Cult’s side, there were several cultivators who released talismans specifically for soul protection, covering every Foundation Establishnt Cultivator and most Qi Refining stage cultivators.
“Scatter! Block them!”
Zhu Ziji shouted, then rushed to the robust cultivator in the crowd.
This man was his target for this mission, one of the two top cultivators among the Class II cultivators of the Incense Fire Dao, Canghai!
Seeing this, Canghai also showed an excited look, unlike the ordinary Incense Fire Dao cultivators, he directly jumped out of the crowd and t Zhu Ziji.
The Foundation Establishnt cultivators of the Tiann Cult also knew this wasn’t the ti to shirk, they all found their opponents.
Wang Ba also picked an early-stage cultivator. His main reason for this choice was because the opponent appeared to be injured and his aura was unstable.
However, before he could engage the opponent, whoosh—
At the critical mont, a light abruptly lit up on Wang Ba’s body, then with a bang, the light shattered.
But Wang Ba also used this force to fly backwards.
His mana coming into operation, he quickly stabilized his body. Then he had a chance to look in the direction not far away.
He saw an Incense Fire Dao cultivator with his body all crimson, emitting an aura equivalent to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishnt, but his aura was unstable as if he had just broken through recently, looking at him with a grim smile and relaxed expression.
“Your opponent is …poor chap!”
Feeling the aura from the opponent, Wang Ba’s face instantly twisted into a strange expression..
