Chapter 654 - 654 41 West Sea_1

Chapter 654: Chapter 41 West Sea_1 Chapter 654: Chapter 41 West Sea_1 “Is everyone here?”

Early morning, Shaoyin Mountain.

Outside the Quest Hall.

A deacon of Shaoyin Mountain surveyed the crowd below and asked loudly.

Xi Wushang, who was standing next to the deacon, also surveyed the crowd.

His gaze lingered for a moment on a newly arrived young cultivator who seemed preoccupied, then subtly shifted away.

But in his mind, he thought:

“Is this Wang Ba?

He doesn’t look so special.”

Hearing the deacon’s question, a slightly dark-skinned yet heroic-looking young cultivator couldn’t help but say, “Deacon Shi, if someone is late, can we just forget about them?

...

There are so many of us waiting for just him…”

Before the deacon could speak, Xi Wushang immediately scowled and reprimanded in a low voice:

“Zhong Kang, mind your words!”

Deacon Shi had intended to scold Zhong Kang but seeing Xi Wushang had spoken, he glared at Liang Zhongkang and then turned his gaze elsewhere, sensing something.

And true enough, he saw a powerful-looking cultivator rushing through the wind.

Just a blink, and the man had already landed on the stone slab before everyone.

The swift movements stirred a wave of qi, sweeping across the surroundings.

In the crowd, the previously desolate Wang Ba, due to his separation from his wife and children, couldn’t help but look at the newcomer.

This man looked different from the others.

He had a lion-like face, a broad mouth, and was exceptionally powerful.

He wore a short knife on his waist that was concealed by its sheath.

It resembled Xi Wushang’s attire quite a bit, and even before he got closer, there was a icy cold touch to him.

“Golden Core…”

Wang Ba thought slightly shocked.

Even though there are countless Golden Core cultivators in the Wanxiang Sect, this man feels like he is above the ordinary ones.

Xi Wushang, who was standing next to Deacon Shi, however, was surprised to identify this person.

“Ji Yuan?

You were also assigned…picked for a task?”

“Ji Yuan?”

Wang Ba was somewhat puzzled.

In his few years in the sect, he had become quite familiar with it, but he knew very little about many figures in the sect.

However, the surrounding crowd started whispering.

“Is it Martial Uncle Ji, the personal disciple of the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak?

He’s so strong!

Wonder which task he has got…”

“I guess Martial Uncle Ji will lead this time…

I hope I can be assigned to his team.”

“Are you kidding…

Martial Uncle Xi, the Golden Core overall top in the Dao-asking Conference is here, why don’t you go find him.”

“Martial Uncle Ji won’t be too weak compared to anyone else.

No matter who it is, this mission seems to be a sure thing!”

And the robust man, after nodding to Xi Wushang, walked up to Deacon Shi, saluted him slightly, then saluted the crowd and apologized:

“I apologize, everyone.

I, Ji, was delayed.

Please forgive me.”

“Don’t mention it, Martial Uncle!

We just arrived too.”

Many cultivators on the scene waved their hands hastily.

Even the arrogant Liang Zhongkang put away his attitude and didn’t say what he had said before.

Seeing this, Deacon Shi nodded slightly and looked around, saying, “In this case, one more left…”

Just as he was talking, another chubby figure flew from the horizon.

But his speed was much slower than Tiandao Peak’s Ji Yuan.

He flew in a wobbly manner, which made Liang Zhongkang become anxious and had him blurt out, “Why is this fat guy so slow!”

It seemed as if he heard Liang Zhong Kang’s words, the figure suddenly took something out in mid-air, stuffed it into his mouth, and his speed soared.

In the blink of an eye, he flew over everyone’s heads…circled around and then landed on the stone slab.

He didn’t stir up any qi waves, but Wang Ba got a clear look at the newcomer.

This man looked quite young, with a decent-looking face, slightly chubby body and somewhat bloated belly, looking like he was full of air.

His clothes appeared to be a size larger than regular ones, which added a sense of whimsy to him.

Facing the various looks from the crowd, the chubby cultivator seemed a bit nervous, hastily bowing and stammering:

“I…

I am Tao Ruyi from Shixian Peak, I…

I am late…”

As he spoke, he took out a golden-brown roasted Spirit Chicken and a bunch of grapes, which were exuding a strong spiritual aura, from his wide sleeves…

“Would…

Would you all like some?”

This stiff and flustered gesture immediately left the surrounding crowd speechless.

Even Liang Zhongkang lost his desire to ridicule.

However, it made one of the female cultivators in the crowd laugh, her hand covering her mouth.

“Luye, what are you laughing at!”

Another cultivator couldn’t help but ask.

She just covered her mouth and seemed to laugh so hard that she couldn’t speak.

In the crowd, Wang Ba looked thoughtfully at the spirit chicken in the other’s hand.

“This chicken’s wingspan and muscular thighs indicate that it is a kind of local Spirit Chicken in Jin which can be used for fighting and as Spirit food, either a Big Crown Chicken or Magnolia Fighting Chicken…”

Instinctively reviewing these details in his mind, Wang Ba quickly shook his head and put them to the back of his mind.

There’s no need to delve into what it is when it’s almost in his stomach.

“Alright, step down now.”

Deacon Shi said coldly.

Tao Ruyi from Shixian Peak nodded hurriedly, bowed, and ran into the crowd.

Coincidentally, he ended up standing right behind Wang Ba.

Smelling the various fragrances of food coming from him, Wang Ba might have chatted with him about their culinary experiences if it were any other time.

But right now, he was not in the mood.
