Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 318: Chapter 77: The True Face_2

The young Taoist seemed to be standing on the sidelines, watching the confrontations between the three men closely, and described rapidly:

“Unfortunately, Song Buping failed. Moreover, his magic sword might have fallen into the hands of Zhu Ziji or Wang Ba. Wang Ba subsequently exploded in anger, killed Zhu Ziji, and then left the area covered by the power of Yuanci. He pursued Song Buping, the only witness to their confrontation.”

The old man could not help clapping his hands and exclaiming when he heard this:

“It makes sense! Hence, everything is explained!”

However, the young Taoist shook his head: “There is still some confusion. For instance, Zhu Ziji mastered the Blood Method and could calm down on the land covered by the power of Yuanci. Looking at the scattering Qi of Five Elements, Wang Ba chose the Dao of Five Elements and had no means to use mana, but how did Wang Ba win in the end?”

“Plus, why does the Spirit Sending Sign indicate that Wang Ba is dead even though he clearly won? Is he alive, or dead?”

“This…”

The old man was slightly taken aback, but then shook his head and said:

“Junior Brother Bei, being from the Secret Dao sect, you’re inclined to go deep into the principles. But in the world, are there so many principles to talk about!”

“We just need to present what we have seen and guessed to the Sect Hierarch, and with his wisdom, why should we dwell on this?”

At these words, the young Taoist paused and then gave a wry smile: “What Senior Brother taught was right, then let us go back and report.”

“No rush.”

But the old man suddenly said, “I do have a thought.”

He stared at the young Taoist, his eyes flashing with a gleam.

“If this Wang Ba is not dead and most likely has mastered the way to escape from the Spirit Sending Sign, why don’t we secretly search for him? If we could get the method of getting rid of the Spirit Sending Sign from him…”

“Senior Brother Gu, mind your words!”

The young Taoist couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.

However, unlike his previous silence, the old man looked at the young Taoist with bright eyes, bearing an oppressive desire, showing a side of him which was rather uncharacteristic and exposed his true intentions:

“Junior Brother Bei, are you willing to be dominated by others all your life?”

“Do you really want to be a lapdog watching the door for this bastard Ning Daohuan?”

“I…”

The young Taoist hesitated.

If possible, who would want to trust their lives to others?

But since the day they entered the Sect, they had been bound by a tight hoop.

The old man’s voice was filled with incitement:

“As long as we get the method to get rid of the Spirit Sending Sign from this Wang Ba, or make this method known to the public, Ning Daohuan can no longer call us at will, let us come and go!”

“Junior brother, we are not trying to escape from the Tianmen Cult. We are fighting for the freedom of all cultivators in the Tianmen Cult!”

“Besides, we are all Demon Cultivators! Free and easy, unrestricted, desiring what the heart wants, being good or evil at will, how can there be Demon Cultivators who are willing to be someone’s lapdog!”

Listening to the old man’s words, the young Taoist’s eyes gradually began to waver.

…

“What, Zhu Ziji is dead?! Wa-Was he killed by Wang Ba?!”“

“And Wang Ba escaped successfully?!”

Lu Yuansheng, with a shocked look on his face, stared at the Foundation Establishment competitor in front of him, almost not believing his own ears.

This retreat had brought him immense benefits and gave him peace of mind.

So he walked out of the palace satisfied. However, as soon as he walked out, he received the news that he almost thought he had misheard.

“How is this possible!”

Lu Yuansheng couldn’t help but say: “Zhu Ziji ranked fifth in the Sect in terms of combat power, but in an actual fight, he probably only comes after Yan Yun. How could Wang Ba, a chicken keeper, compete with Zhu Ziji?”

“This… Elder, this is what Elder Bei personally said, and Elder Bei also said that this Wang Ba is very secretive. Elder, did you notice anything, so you let Zhu Ziji make the move.”

Below, a Foundation Establishment competitor respectfully repeated.

However, Lu Yuansheng’s mind was not calm.

Senior Brother Bei said?

Giving Senior Brother Bei’s prudent personality, Zhu Ziji was really killed by Wang Ba?!

He still somewhat didn’t dare to trust his ears.

However, he quickly remembered the Class III Spirit Chicken in his Spirit Beast Bag, and his heart trembled.

That’s right!

If this Wang Ba can foster a Class III Spirit Chicken, then, fostering another Class III Spirit Beast to kill Zhu Ziji is also entirely possible.

It’s just that this possibility was so small that Lu Yuansheng had not anticipated it at all.

After all, in such a short period, raising a Class III Spirit Chicken is enough, but to foster another Spirit Beast with fight capabilities, he knew the difficulty of this even if he’s not a Beast Control practitioner.

“Wait! He didn’t cultivate with the resources I previously gathered for him, did he?”

These thoughts flashed through Lu Yuansheng’s mind, immediately considering this possibility.

And having thought of this, even his usually calm and indifferent temperament couldn’t help but produce an unprecedented annoyance and almost spit blood.

“This Wang Ba!”

Lu Yuansheng gritted his teeth in anger.

Furthermore, he regretted that his judgment had been off and let go of a cultivator who posed such a significant threat to himself.

“I should have killed him myself earlier!”

“Hold on! Since Senior Brother Bei knew, he would surely report it to the Sect Hierarch. But Senior Brother Bei still said that Wang Ba escaped successfully, could it be… Wang Ba has broken free from the Spirit Sending Sign?!”

Realizing this, a hint of shock flashed through Lu Yuansheng’s eyes.

The Spirit Sending Sign was an invisible blade hanging over the heads of all the cultivators in Tianmen Cult.

Even the Golden Core Elders were no exception.

On the surface, the Sect Hierarch seemed polite to every Golden Core Elder most of the time.

He even never mentioned the Spirit Sending Sign, nor used it to threaten everyone.

As a result, people below thought that Golden Core cultivators were not bound by the Spirit Sending Sign.

But the real Golden Core cultivators knew, it was because Ning Daohuan chose not to.

Not that he couldn’t.

There was a considerable difference between the two.

For this reason, everyone in the Tianmen Cult, who had some ambitions, hoped they could break away from the Spirit Sending Sign.

And Lu Yuansheng was the one who had the closest opportunity to do so in Tianmen Cult.

Once he took over the position of Sect Hierarch from Ning Daohuan someday, he could retrieve his own Spirit Sending Sign while controlling others’.

However, thinking of this, Lu Yuansheng’s face couldn’t help but slightly sink.

But in his heart, he felt a twinge of regret for the first time.

“If I had known, I should have kept this Wang Ba and used Soul Search on him, even at the cost of forcibly seizing his soul, to know his method of breaking from the Spirit Sending Sign…”

However, Wang Ba had already escaped, and he had missed this opportunity.

“Elder Lu, Elder Bei also said, the Sect Hierarch wants you to find him after you leave the retreat.”

“Find me? What for?”

Lu Yuansheng was startled.

The Foundation Establishment competitor hurriedly reported the previous arrival of a mysterious cultivator who had pressed the entire Tianmen Cult.

“Most likely because a serious incident occurred in the sect and you were in retreat…”

The Foundation Establishment competitor carefully suggested.

Despite his shock, Lu Yuansheng did not agree or deny upon hearing this, instead, after a moment of hesitation, he asked:

“Were you there at that time? How did the Sect Hierarch look like when he mentioned me?”

“As a junior, I was there, albeit from a distance. At the time, the Sect Hierarch… um, looked a bit, no, very angry.”

The Foundation Establishment competitor carefully said.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Yuansheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good that he is angry, it’s better when he’s angry!”

The Foundation Establishment competitor was immediately confused.

Lu Yuansheng did not intend to explain, immediately started packing. After some hesitation, he decided to carry the Spirit Beast Bag with him.

Then he quickly rushed to the palace where Ning Daohuan was located.

“Elder Lu, the Sect Hierarch is near the main altar’s god statue.”

The palace servant said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuansheng’s brow slightly furrowed.

But he wasn’t surprised.

Ning Daohuan, despite his luxurious appearance, was a devoted cultivator.

At that moment, he, using his privilege, directly sat in the Teleportation Array, and arrived above a black swamp

Not far away, a twenty-four armed god statue sat in the swamp.

Eerie and divine.

For some unknown reason, a sudden sense of unease arose in Lu Yuansheng’s heart.
