Suddenly, he understood.
"It seems they have mistaken me for someone from the Cloud Sky Realm."
There was no time to explain, as the opponent struck with great force, something he couldnât underestimate. His mind moved swiftly, activating the Yellow Dao Domain.
Just then, beside him, Tao Bingji spoke out in surprising difficulty:
"Ji Hu!?"
Whooshâ
The snakehead that was swinging over suddenly froze, looking with amazement at Tao Bingji next to Wang Ba:
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Wang Ba was also stunned, eyes brightening thereafter.
What a coincidence indeed!
Sure enough, Tao Bingji exclaimed joyfully:
"Itâs me, Yuan She."
"You, you have reincarnated?"
The snakeheadâs eyes were full of surprise, perplexed:
"I thought you had failed to reincarnate and were long dead..."
Its gaze shifted slightly, its vertical pupils fixating on Wang Ba, moving back and forth between Wang Ba and Tao Bingji, its voice growing colder:
"Since you have reincarnated, why do you still come here with this Cultivator?"
Tao Bingji hurriedly replied:
"He is my teacher. We came here not for conflict, Ji Hu, could you halt your hand for now?"
The snakehead paid no heed, coldly looking at Wang Ba.
Wang Baâs mind turned, retracting the Yellow Dao Domain, speaking solemnly:
"I have nothing to do with the Cloud Sky Realm. My appearance there was to oppose the Supreme True Buddha... Any conflict or misunderstanding between Quiet Cave and Cloud Sky Realm, I am unaware of. My purpose here is merely to meet the Master of Quiet Cave."
The snakehead fell into silence, quickly shrinking from a giant python into a tiny snakehead, returning to its original place.
Its eyes showed a hint of contemplation before asking:
"What is your purpose in meeting the Master of Quiet Cave?"
Wang Ba hesitated briefly, but did not hide anything:
"To resist the Supreme True Buddha!"
The snakehead sneered as expected:
"I knew you would use that excuse."
Its face turned cold, the snakeâs pupils carrying a trace of chill:
"Leave now. For Yuan Sheâs sake, I wonât trouble you, but if you linger here, donât blame me for having no regard for Yuan She..."
Wang Ba was slightly taken aback.
Tao Bingji quickly spoke:
"Ji Hu, we truly aim to resist the Supreme True Buddha. Once they sweep through Zhangâs Ruins and Cloud Sky Realm, Quiet Cave will surely be their next target..."
Swish!
The snakehead suddenly swung back again!
Its pupils were icy cold, devoid of any emotion, filled solely with killing intent!
And this killing intent was blatantly aimed at Tao Bingji!
"Since youâve successfully reincarnated and become a disciple of a Great Cultivator, why bother us any longer!"
Tao Bingji was locked by the killing intent, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, his heart turning icy cold!
Yet at this critical moment, a gust of blue Wind blew by. Tao Bingji felt a flash before his eyes, his whole body involuntarily flying backward, and the pressure on him instantly dissipated.
He slightly turned his head, confirming Wang Ba was standing beside him with a somewhat solemn expression.
He couldnât help but follow Wang Baâs gaze.
He saw Ji Huâs snakehead retracting.
At that moment, countless figures silently emerged from the Chaos Origin Substance behind it, visible as Innate Divine Demons and World Eaters!
His heart couldnât help but tremble!
"So many!"
"Why are there so many?!"
Wang Baâs eyes narrowed slightly, with little expression on his face, he whispered:
"Since you are unwelcome here, weâll leave this time."
He turned away, leading Tao Bingji to fly towards the distance.
"Teacher, are we really just leaving like this?"
Recovering his senses, Tao Bingji immediately spoke up.
Feeling the gaze of those Innate Divine Demons behind them, Wang Ba shook his head slightly, speaking softly:
"Of course not. But Ji Hu harbors strong resentment towards Cultivators. Without a compromise, meeting the Master of Quiet Cave is impossible..."
As they spoke, a streak of light flew towards them from afar, swiftly passing by Wang Ba, directly heading towards Quiet Cave.
"Huh? Whatâs he..."
Tao Bingji was slightly puzzled.
Wang Ba curiously turned his head.
To see that streak of light suddenly halt, from within came a voice of sheer astonishment, followed by delight:
"Little Friend Wang? How, how come you are here?"
Upon hearing that address, Wang Baâs body trembled, his mind racing, eyes bursting with surprise:
"You are..."
"Xuan Yuanzi?!"
