Chapter 1052: Chapter 56 Restart_3 Chapter 1052: Chapter 56 Restart_3 “Wang Ba?”

Zhou Tianqi was startled and immediately furrowed his brows:

“But his master Yao Wudi is now in Chen State, I’ve been observing him…”

“Not observing Yao Wudi, but Wang Ba.”

Xun FuJun shook his head slightly, placing emphasis on the words ‘Wang Ba’.

Zhou Tianqi grew even more puzzled:

“Sect Master, why must we observe Wang Ba?

He merely has an early-stage Golden Core Cultivation Base…”

“Cultivation Base is not important.”

Xun FuJun said indifferently:

“In his Spiritual Government, I can sense an aura that seems to be a lurking Evil God, similar in essence to the Dream Master that Han Yanzi decapitated in bygone days.

It might deceive others, but not me.

I always feel that Wang Ba may be Han Yanzi’s hidden move.”

“Han Yanzi?!

Wang Ba is related to Han Yanzi?”

Zhou Tianqi, who had been somewhat disinterested, immediately showed a look of gravity on his face.

Most Nascent Soul Cultivators probably wouldn’t even be aware of Han Yanzi’s existence.

...

However, as a confidant of Xun FuJun, these secret tales were not unfamiliar to him.

He was acutely aware of how fearsome that existence, dreaded by the highest echelons of the Wanxiang Sect, could be.

He suddenly thought of something, and his expression slightly changed:

“Could it be that Wang Ba is what Han Yanzi has prepared to deal with our Wanxiang Sect…”

Xun FuJun shook his head slightly, his gaze turning cold:

“If he were, he wouldn’t have lived until now.”

“Of course, I also want to see, what exactly Han Yanzi has been up to with his mumbo jumbo for so long.”

Zhou Tianqi couldn’t help saying:

“Sect Master, why bother with him?

After all, once the Tribulation Crossing Raft is built, we will be able to use it to traverse the void and go to the ‘Cloud Sky Realm’.”

Xun FuJun’s eyes were deep.

With his hands behind his back, he shook his head:

“Our Sect’s desire to leave this decaying prison and head to the ‘Cloud Sky Realm’ where the Ancestral Master resides is indeed a defiance of the great laws of heaven and earth.

Apart from the great calamity when breaking through the boundary, the cycle of heavenly laws will inevitably bring about human tribulations to strike us.

Now it seems, Han Yanzi of the primitive Demonic Sect is likely to be our Sect’s human tribulation.”

“Void Refining…”

He slowly exhaled, his eyes unfathomably deep:

“To deal with this person, we must spare no expense.”

“Elder Brother Shao is too weak, so it will be me who assumes the role of the executioner!”

Sensing the resolve and determination in the elder’s tone, Zhou Tianqi solemnly said:

“Disciple will follow by the Sect Master’s side!”

The fleeting emotion was quickly reined in, and Xun FuJun paused slightly before changing the subject:

“Additionally, I’ve received news from Chen State that Wang Ba was attacked there.

It seems to be the work of a Sword Cultivator from the Demon Sect.

Look into it, find all the disciples who were near Chen State at the time.”

Zhou Tianqi was startled and then his expression changed:

“Does the Sect Master mean that there are spies from the primitive Demonic Sect within our Sect?”

Xun FuJun did not explain further, merely stating plainly:

“Go and investigate, but don’t make a fuss.”

“Yes!”

Zhou Tianqi hurriedly bowed and then retreated.

Leaving only Xun FuJun alone, quietly gazing up at the Ancestral Temple suspended above.

In his gaze, there was a subtle yearning:

“Cloud Sky Realm…”

…

“What a pity, I couldn’t take under my command those thirty million mortals.”

At Wanfa Peak, Wang Ba reflected on the previous council and felt somewhat regretful.

Originally, he was just a spectator enjoying the commotion, yet by a stroke of misfortune or fluke, he almost became the Vice Hall Master.

Thankfully, he didn’t get the position, which was what he had hoped for.

However, becoming the Chief Division Master was indeed an unexpected delight.

But failing to secure those thirty million mortals did leave him somewhat disappointed.

“Forget it, since it’s come to this, I might as well concentrate on cultivation.

My realm truly isn’t keeping up, and there’s also the Way of Yin and Yang…

It’s about time I visited Hehuan Peak.”

“After I reach the middle stage of the Golden Core, I’ll make another trip to the Northsea Continent to study ‘Ice Style’.”

“As for the soul, I can only rely on spirit food to slowly strengthen it.”

He actually had quite a few matters to attend to.

His Thunderstorm Body and the ‘Dragon-Tiger Yuankan Method’ required him to continuously nurture Spirit Beasts to overcome the Thunder Tribulation, using it to temper his body and refine his Qi, hoping to merge it into his Golden Core soon.

The ‘Ride the Wind’ is now mostly integrated, but it also needed diligent cultivation.

If he got the chance, he also wanted to find a creature suitable to become a Yuanci Incarnation.

As for the responsibilities of the Chief Division Master, he had made up his mind to do as little as possible.

But before long, he received a Sound Transmission Talisman from Ma Shengxu.

Wang Ba pondered for a while but couldn’t think of any reason for Ma Shengxu to call him, so he flew directly to Diwu Hall.

However, after entering, he learned from the Enforcer that Ma Shengxu was in a private discussion with Hall Master Xi Kui.

He wasn’t in a rush, so he waited outside for a while.

Soon enough, Ma Shengxu emerged from a side hall of Diwu Hall.

“Congratulations, Martial Uncle Ma.”

Wang Ba raised his hand with a smile.

A smile also appeared on Ma Shengxu’s face:

“You little rascal, there’s no need for congratulations.

This position of Vice Hall Master was practically picked up from your hands.”

He then became serious:

“I urgently called you over because there’s an important task that needs to be entrusted to you, one that no one else can accomplish but you.”

“Me?”

Wang Ba pointed at himself, somewhat flabbergasted:

“Martial Uncle must be joking.

Please just tell me directly what it is you want me to do.”

“Don’t be so unbelieving.”

Ma Shengxu shook his head slightly and took out a bead from his sleeve.

“Is that…

a portable dungeon?!”

“Thirty million mortals?!”

Wang Ba’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, that’s the thirty million mortals.”

Sorrow crossed Ma Shengxu’s face:

“Sigh, the Hall Master just handed them over to me.

I’m good at nurturing Spirit Plants, but dealing with these mortals truly gives me a headache!

But I heard from Song Dongyang that you were the one managing these mortals back in Chen State, so after much thought, I could only trouble you again.”

Trouble?

This…

Wang Ba was about to wave his hand in refusal.

But Ma Shengxu, fearing that Wang Ba would be unwilling to take it, hurriedly added:

“Don’t worry, I’ve talked with the Hall Master about it.

Maintaining these mortals also requires a substantial amount of resources, and the hall will allocate a budget for you, so you won’t be at a loss.”

Wang Ba: “Ah?”

The surprise came so quickly that he was a bit dazed.

“Then it’s settled!”

Ma Shengxu hastily stuffed the bead into Wang Ba’s hand.

Seeing that Wang Ba seemed somewhat ‘uncomfortable’.

A smile crept onto Ma Shengxu’s face:

“In addition, there’s another thing.

Now that I have resigned from the position of Minister of the Spirit Plant Department, and the Vice Minister has taken over, the position of Vice Minister is vacant as well…”
