Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 396: Chapter 26: Chaos_4

Wang Ba directly threw forty upper grade Spirit Stones to the other party.

Next, he went to Master Xin, who is skilled at making talismans, and purchased a batch of top grade Class II talismans.

He quickly returned to his own mansion.

“Junior sister apprentice, you take these.”

Wang Ba handed over all the things he had bought, like the Thunder Seeds and talismans, to Bu Chan.

With his cultivation base and the help of spiritual beasts.

Under the Golden Core stage, at least in Yan State, there are probably few who can rival him.

So he wasn’t worried about himself, but about Bu Chan.

At the moment, Yan State seems to be peaceful, but Wang Ba could clearly feel that it was the calm before the storm.

And the longer the rain clouds are suppressed, the more terrifying it will be when they are released.

Two days passed.

The atmosphere in Yong’an City became increasingly tense.

The defenses at the city gate became more and more strict.

They even started to allow only entry and not exit.

More and more sect cultivators are coming to arrest people in the town. On the streets and alleys, you can see sect cultivators breaking into the houses of rogue cultivators with their guidance and forcibly taking them away.

These rogue cultivators were indicting and reporting each other.

Even the situation where there weren’t enough sect cultivators appeared.

At first, most rogue cultivators didn’t take it seriously.

Even a group of them became more thrilled and excited after being rewarded with Spirit Stones.

However, as more and more rogue cultivators were taken away and more houses were left empty, some rogue cultivators finally sensed something was wrong.

“This is a trick!”

“There probably isn’t any incense-burning Dao cultivator in the city!”

“These sect cultivators want to devour us!”

“We must escape right now!”

These rogue cultivators quickly united, planning to directly break through the city gate during the shift change of the sect cultivators guarding it.

However, before this plan could be implemented, it was interrupted by a rogue cultivator who secretly led three sect cultivators here.

“This person is secretly provoking us rogue cultivators to stand against the three major sects. He is likely to be from the Incense Fire Dao! Capture him!”

Soon.

This group of rogue cultivators planning to escape from Yong’an City was completely captured without exception.

“You betrayed us! You actually want to be a dog for the three major sects! You deserve a horrible death!”

A captured rogue cultivator yelled angrily at the rogue cultivator who leaked their plan.

Only to elicit a sneer from the rogue cultivator:

“What’s wrong with becoming a dog?”

“I don’t want to live like before, hiding my face and tail, living every day in fear. By reporting you, I can earn a large amount of Spirit Stones! Maybe I can even become a part of the three major sects.”

“It’s only your fault that you are too stupid!”

This group of rogue cultivators was quickly taken away by the sect cultivators.

Leaving behind a chaotic scene, and… Wang Ba, standing at the mansion’s door, watching all of this unfold.

Wang Ba’s eyes were heavy.

He began to realize that Li Ji’s suspicions were likely correct.

The three major sects, using the pretext of the Incense Fire Dao, were encouraging the rogue cultivators to report each other, isolate, and fragment, thereby easily achieving the purpose of eliminating unstable elements among them.

Once the cleaning of the rogue cultivators was completed, the action against the Zhenling Palace might officially begin.

Now, the problem he had to consider was whether he was considered an unstable existence in the eyes of the three major sects?

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but remember that the Xuli Sect had previously attempted a fatal curse on him.

He had thought that if the Xuli Sect failed in one blow, they would soon have a new action against him, so he has been on high alert.

He was also ready to leave at any time.

However, after waiting for several days, there was no new movement.

This made him somewhat doubtful.

At this moment, a figure, who had concealed his physical appearance, aura, and face, quietly appeared beside Wang Ba.

The person quickly said:

“Master Zhang Yunlong greets Master Shen.”

Wang Ba slightly nodded, immediately leading him into the room and shutting the door.

“Master Shen, this is a letter from my family’s ancestor for you.”

In front of Wang Ba, Zhang Yunlong did not dare to boast, politely handing over a letter and a storage ring with a prohibition placed on it.

Wang Ba did not have time to exchange pleasantries with Zhang Yunlong, he quickly opened the letter.

Soon, his face revealed a pensive look.

“Zhang, did Master Zhang give any other instructions?”

Zhang Yunlong quickly replied: “Our ancestor said, if Master Shen accepts these conditions, we will personally deliver what you want.”

“Of course, even if Master Shen does not wish to accept, there are some items you need in this storage ring. I will tell you how to lift the prohibition.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba’s brow furrowed slightly. He seemed a bit conflicted:

“Allow me to consider this.”

“There will naturally be time for you to decide, but… the time given to you, I fear, is not much.”

Zhang Yunlong still remained polite.

However, Wang Ba immediately sensed something.

A chilling thought crossed his mind:

“Could it be that the three major Sects are about to make a move on Zhenling Palace soon?”

His face, although, did not reveal any extra expressions. He nodded slightly.

Zhang Yunlong did not say anything else. He quickly handed over the magic seal to lift the prohibition on the storage ring to Wang Ba, then hurriedly left.

It seemed there was someone outside waiting for him. He was not concerned about being discovered by people from Xuli Sect and Huifeng Valley.

After seeing off Zhang Yunlong,

Wang Ba stood in the quiet chamber, lost in thought.

“Zhang Jin, that old fox, no doubt, he’s after Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai. This time, he’s no longer concealing his intentions.”

The letter Zhang Yunlong brought directly listed several conditions.

At the core of those conditions was a demand for Wang Ba to join the Danlong School and encourage Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai to join along.

If he could achieve this, not only would they supply all the spirit materials he needed, but they also promised to exhaust all means within the Sect to help Wang Ba achieve the Golden Core.

Of course, they would need to make vows to each other.

Just because of this, Wang Ba decided to decline outright.

Perhaps Zhang Jin was indeed sincere.

However, his goal was to secure a spot in the third layer of Linglong Ghost Market, rather than being trapped in a minor sect with just four or five Golden Core Masters.

Yet, he must try to stall as much as he could, prolonging the inevitable.

Following the magical seal given by Zhang Yunlong, Wang Ba successfully unlocked the storage ring and indeed found four sets of materials for Wu Monkey King’s bloodline breakthrough therein.

Compared to Jia 15, Wu Monkey King required a few more types of materials for his breakthrough.

Besides some second-class spirit materials that were modified by Wang Ba and the ones provided by the Danlong School, he also needed four types of third-class spirit materials.

Two days passed.

The atmosphere in Yong’an City grew increasingly heavy.

Many Rogue Cultivators kept their doors tightly shut, daring not to make any movements.

However, the occasional sorrowful screams only added to their fear.

Even though nobody dared to disturb Wang Ba’s residence,

He himself began to grow restless.

He even contemplated the idea of leaving.

In such an oppressively suffocating atmosphere.

One day.

A tall and lean scholar-like figure fell from the sky, landing at the entrance to Wang Ba’s residence.

The arrival of this figure instantly alerted the many cultivators from various sects.

They hurriedly rushed over, yet did not dare to step forward.

Upon detecting this figure’s aura, a burly figure standing in the alley opposite to Wang Ba’s residence, also stood up.

It was none other than Zhang Tailai.

At this moment, his normally honest face was filled with surprise and joy.

“Big brother! You’re finally back!”
