Chapter 1450: Chapter 59 Try It Out

Wanfa Peak, inside the Pearl Dungeon.

Wang Ba, having withdrawn his consciousness, couldn’t help but frown.

“Yang Que… is actually dead.”

“I deliberately let him go, and even left a hint in his Primordial Spirit to guard against the Kingdom of Immortals. But how did he just disappear without a cause?”

“Who did it?”

“Who in the current Little Cang World could kill a Divinity Transformation cultivator?”

He was full of confusion and puzzlement.

Fingers calculating, based on the time Yang Que left, he might not have even successfully left the Fenglin Continent.

Now within the whole Fenglin Continent, those capable of causing the death of Yang Que, apart from the Wanxiang Sect, could only be other Sects within Jin. However, whether Longevity Sect or Youxian Temple, the Divinity Transformation cultivators within these Sects are constrained by the will of heaven and earth and cannot easily make a move.

“No, there’s also the primitive Demonic Sect… Could it be Han Yanzi who made his move?”

Han Yanzi, having cultivated for many years and with profound skills, might have thought of some methods to circumvent the will of heaven and earth. It’s not impossible.

After all, Yang Que had only recently ascended to Divinity Transformation, and his strength, compared to the usual Divinity Transformation cultivators, was indeed slightly weaker.

Thinking of this, Wang Ba’s heart inevitably became slightly heavy.

After pondering for a short while, he then instructed toward the outside of the Pearl Dungeon:

“Qingyang, summon the Mountain Lord of Shaoyin Mountain.”

Outside the Pearl Dungeon, Wang Qingyang immediately responded and hurriedly flew towards Shaoyin Mountain.

Before long, a young cultivator clad in a dark Daoist robe landed outside the Pearl Dungeon with an extremely respectful demeanor.

Bowing towards the Dungeon, he proclaimed:

“Shaoyin Mountain’s Mountain Lord, Zhou Tianqi, greets the Vice Sect Master.”

The visitor was the newly appointed Mountain Lord of Shaoyin Mountain, also one of the Divinity Transformation prospects left by the second elder Xun FuJun before his ‘defection’ from the Sect.

Even in the talent-rich Wanxiang Sect, he could be considered exceptionally gifted.

Having received guidance from Xun FuJun, he was quite adept in the Dao of Soul.

Additionally, when Wang Ba previously held the position of the Chief Division Master of the Diwu Hall, he served under Wang Ba as the Division Master of the Water Division, undergoing various administrative trainings.

Thus, several decades ago, after the previous Mountain Lord of Shaoyin Mountain retired, he naturally took over the position of Mountain Lord.

Diligent and responsible, he rarely made mistakes.

Nevertheless, the sudden summon from Wang Ba still made him somewhat nervous.

After all, this elder supervisor, having secluded himself for many years and detached from world affairs, had only recently appeared and had effortlessly kidnapped thousands of Nascent Souls from outsiders and repelled a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

His brilliance needed no mention.

Even he felt somewhat anxious and excited.

Soon, he heard a slightly sighing voice from the Dungeon:

“Ah, you’ve arrived. It’s been some years since we last met.”

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

Zhou Tianqi then entered the Dungeon.

He felt that the Spiritual Energy here was abundant, not inferior to some of the Sect’s specialized Dungeons for cultivation.

However, the surroundings were subtly enveloped in mist, blocking his vision.

Within the mist, only a straight path leading deeper remained visible.

Walking along it, he could faintly hear the cries of various birds and beasts.

Zhou Tianqi couldn’t help but feel curious:

“I heard that the Vice Sect Master excels in nurturing Spirit Beasts, could they all be here? I wonder what they are like. Could that Demon Ape be here too…”

Not long ago, the scene of the Demon Ape battling cultivators from Huangji Continent was still vivid in his memory.

Not just him, nearly everyone in Wanxiang Sect had witnessed the extraordinary demeanor of the Demon Ape.

They realized that the Way of Beast Tamer could indeed hold its own, which made several Beast Taming legacies within the Sect increasingly favored by the younger disciples recently.

Zhou Tianqi naturally did not feel this way, but he was quite concerned about that Demon Ape.

However, unfortunately, even after walking to two Spirit Plants and meeting the plain-robed, serene Wang Ba, the Vice Sect Master, he did not see the Demon Ape.

Instead, he saw a black Spirit Snake as thick as a water bucket, with a particularly extraordinary aura, lazily coiled around one of the willow trees among the Spirit Plants.

This Spirit Snake, although only Class IV middle grade, for some reason it gave Zhou Tianqi a faint sense of caution.

After Zhou Tianqi arrived, the black Spirit Snake seemed to sense something, slowly turning its snake head around. Its cold, merciless vertical pupils stared at him, the snake’s tongue slightly flicking out, revealing a hint of a dangerous aura.

Zhou Tianqi’s gaze sharpened.

“Twenty-two!”

Wang Ba gently scolded.

Instantly, the black Spirit Snake’s neck retracted, and the snake head, which had seemed utterly ruthless, immediately lowered and rapidly slithered down from the willow tree, rubbing slightly against the corner of Wang Ba’s sleeves, appearing to be aggrieved and seeking favor.

“That’s enough.”

Wang Ba casually patted the head of the black Spirit Snake and instructed:

“Go play.”

Then smiling at Zhou Tianqi, he softly asked:

“Shaoyin Mountain has many mundane affairs; can you still manage?”

Zhou Tianqi, somewhat apprehensively glancing at the black Spirit Snake swimming past his side, heard Wang Ba’s words and quickly came back to his senses, squeezing a smile on his face and replying:

“In the past, I received guidance from you, Vice Sect Master, from which Tianqi still benefits greatly today, making things much easier to handle.”

“Haha, I’ve never taught you those…”

Wang Ba joked for a few moments and then finally turned to the main topic, seriously asking:

“Our Sect’s influence arranged in Yan is still in place, right? Have there been any important reports recently?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianqi seemed to understand and quickly said:

“Vice Sect Master, Tianqi was just about to report this to you. Not long ago, the person we placed in Yan reported back that the lord of Huangji Continent, Yang Que, suddenly attacked the primitive Demonic Sect. It seems he used the power of the Dragon Transformation Pool and broke the Great Array of the primitive Demonic Sect,”
