Chapter 444: Chapter 40 Despair_1
They stepped out of the teleportation array.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but curiously look around.
Yan State was quite expansive, with a significant difference between the north and the south. The scenery in the northeast was obviously quite unlike that of the southeast’s Baiyun Prairie.
As far as the eye could see, there were towering mountains with verdant peaks overlapping one another.
This was a startling contrast to the delicate beauty present at Baiyun Prairie.
The area was also rich in spiritual energy that, when inhaled deeply, produced a sense of infinite spaciousness and delight.
However, it seed not many cultivators passed through here. Outside the teleportation array, only a handful of Foundation Establishnt cultivators were keeping watch and maintaining it.
“There is conveniently a Class III spiritual lineage here, which supplies the mid-to-long-range teleportation arrays with the necessary energy. Therefore, not only does our teleportation array of the three major sects connect with this one, but those of Song State and Xu State also do… Of course, the teleportation fee is not cheap. Ordinary cultivators generally pass through the Yanqiao Pass straight to Qiao State, which is why the traffic here appears sparse.”
Yan Qing seed to see through Wang Ba’s astonishnt and explained.
Wang Ba nodded and looked around, puzzled.
“Why haven’t we reached Yanqiao Pass yet…”
“Hehe, to prevent the teleportation array of Xu State from falling into enemy hands and enabling them to raid Yanqiao Pass, Prince Gao ordered that the teleportation array be built a hundred li away from it.”
Yan Qing casually stated.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba nodded in understanding. He and the unfathomably reticent Zhao Feng continued flying toward the northeast.
anwhile, at the sa mont.
Deep within the mountains, a hidden area.
A concealnt array.
Upon seeing Yan Qing and his companions flying towards them from the teleportation array, Lin Boyue’s face instantly flickered with excitent!
Zhuang Yi, standing behind him, couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Sect Master, it’s Shen Fu! He actually ca too!”
“I noticed.”
Lin Boyue quickly scanned the three midair.
Yan Qing, Shen Fu, and an inconspicuous cultivator…
His gaze montarily lingered on the unfamiliar, inconspicuous cultivator, then quickly moved to Shen Fu, a hint of uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
“Heaven is truly helping our Xuli Sect!”
“The prey is willingly delivering itself to us!”
However, he didn’t let the surprise cloud his judgent and quickly planned:
“Listen to , wait until they get closer. I’ll imdiately seize Shen Fu. If Yan Qing intercepts , you two grab Shen Fu directly! Make sure to seize Shen Fu!”
“Understood!”
Zhuang Yi and the cultivator from Wujing School instantly responded.
In the Zhenling Palace incident, the three major sects suffered heavy losses. Only the Xuli Sect, thanks to the Three Class Five Sutras Emptiness Array of Wujing School, managed to preserve most of their yuan qi. With the addition of Lin Boyue, there were six Golden Core cultivators in the sect.
Of these six, three were gravely injured and still recovering. But now, they were all deployed.
This was due caution, as Yan Qing was also a Golden Core cultivator. Killing him wouldn’t be hard, but capturing him alive wouldn’t be easy.
At this mont.
While flying, Wang Ba suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
He imdiately sensed that within his Spirit Temple, the Power of the Yin God had started spinning without any reason.
“Is there a Golden Core cultivator watching nearby?”
He quickly scanned his surroundings with his spiritual sense.
However, to his surprise, he detected no presence of anyone.
Just then, a ssage reached Wang Ba’s ears:
“Junior brother, be careful. Sothing doesn’t feel right.”
It was Zhao Feng!
Wang Ba was instantly alert.
Zhao Feng’s sword heart was lucid, his insights and instincts for minute matters far beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
So Wang Ba had no doubts about Zhao Feng’s warnings.
With this in mind, he imdiately slowed down.
Zhao Feng took the hint and kept pace, subtly moving closer to Wang Ba’s side.
Out of curiosity about the change, Yan Qing halted briefly before turning to ask:
“What’s wrong, Shen?”
Keeping his expression calm, Wang Ba replied, “I suddenly rembered that I forgot to ask the Foundation Establishnt cultivators by the teleportation array so questions.”
“Questions?”
Yan Qing was clueless.
What was there to ask those cultivators guarding the teleportation array?
“Well, should we go together?”
Wang Ba deliberately showed a smile.
“Err… Okay then!”
Although Yan Qing wanted to refuse initially, he rembered that Wang Ba was an important reliance of Huifeng Valley and he couldn’t easily decline his request.
Despite feeling helpless, he was forced to feign a smile.
He even took the initiative to turn around and lead the way.
Upon seeing Yan Qing behaving like this, Wang Ba breathed a sigh of relief.
“Looks like it’s not Huifeng Valley…”
Although the possibility that Huifeng Valley would attack him was low, given they were well aware of his position and there was no need to bring him here to do so.
He still needed to be wary.
Having thought this, Wang Ba decided to conduct a simple probe.
The three of them instantly turned back and sped off the way they ca.
anwhile, seeing all this from the mountainside, Lin Boyue imdiately turned pale:
“Not good! We’ve been spotted!”
Although he didn’t understand how Yan Qing had discovered them, this wasn’t the ti to figure it out.
If the surprise attack had failed, he had no choice but to launch a forceful attack!
“Attack!”
He gave a low yell, took a step, and was the first to fly out of the concealnt array.
Zhuang Yi and the cultivator from Wujing School followed suit.
The movents of the three were instantly detected by the ever-vigilant Wang Ba, who frowned.
“Lin Boyue?! No wonder!”
He was only a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, who among the Golden Core cultivators would have an eye on him?
