Chapter 247: Chapter 47: The 5th Reverse Countdown – 2

However, considering that the Tianmen Cult spans five countries, viewing it as a small and weak country didn’t seem unreasonable.

He soon memorized the names at the top of the two lists.

Quickly.

The open space was filled with people.

Not long after, several Foundation Establishment Competitors in red and black Daoist robes descended from the sky. At the same time, a small mound quickly protruded from the ground. They landed on it, and their voices resonated across the entire space.

“Everyone, quiet!”

The moment the words were spoken, the silence was deafening.

Regardless of Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment Competitors, regardless of those within the Sect or Heresy Cultivators, all stayed in their places.

The Foundation Establishment Competitors on the mound nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and the one in the lead spoke, “I am Yue Xiang of the Secret Dao, you should all know me, so I won’t introduce myself. Let’s begin assigning tasks.”

No one responded.

Yue Xiang didn’t mind, and immediately took out a special sheet of paper.

Using his mana, his voice echoed across the open space:

“Jiang Yi, you are responsible for leading Zhang En, Lu Shaofeng… these twenty people.”

A young woman with a charming smile walked to the front of the mound, her brows full of allure.

However, Wang Ba couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

This Jiang Yi, ranked fifty-fifth in the combat power list, was relatively strong. According to the list, she was already at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

But this wasn’t what Wang Ba cared about.

What truly caught Wang Ba’s attention was the other party’s identity.

She was a male cultivator of the Fairy Dao.

If he remembered correctly, this Jiang Yi was the master of Lin Yu, Wang Ba’s acquaintance from the East Saint Sect.

Not long after Lin Yu established her Foundation, she was assimilated by Jiang Yi.

Looking at her now, it was obvious that she had already digested Lin Yu and begun to assimilate another person.

He silently noted the aura on them.

Soon.

Yue Xiang of the Secret Dao began reading again.

“Bo Xi, you will lead…”

“Ma Shuntian, you…”

“Zhu Ziji, you will lead…”

Hearing the name Zhu Ziji, the surrounding people couldn’t help but look at the mound with a change of expression.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but scrutinize as well.

He soon saw a thin cultivator walking slowly towards the mound.

Zhu Ziji looked ordinary, just like Wang Ba, but his entire demeanor was like someone soaked in a bloodbath. Just a glimpse made Wang Ba feel like he could smell a strong odor of blood!

Even Yue Xiang was more respectful in front of Zhu Ziji.

Soon, Yue Xiang assigned roles to several Foundation Establishment Competitors.

Wang Ba listened to the names, corresponding the faces to the names on the list.

During this process, Wang Ba also heard a familiar name, Bao Chao.

He was assigned to a middle-stage Foundation Establishment Competitor.

This made Wang Ba feel slightly regretful.

Not too long after, it was Wang Ba’s turn.

“Wang Ba, you lead Yan Qi, Hua Meng…”

Upon hearing the name, Wang Ba walked towards the mound, paused as he heard the name Hua Meng, then burst into laughter.

What a coincidence.

Seeing Wang Ba step forward, Hua Meng in the crowd rubbed his eyes, his face showing a surprised expression.

Considering his previous disrespect towards Wang Ba, he felt relieved.

However, he was still feeling incredibly nervous as he stood behind Wang Ba.

Only when he saw Wang Ba’s smile did he relax a little.

But a bitter smile crossed his mind right after.

For he soon remembered Wang Ba’s rank in the combat power list.

Fifth from the bottom!

“We’re in trouble now.”

Hua Meng mentally groaned.

For lower-level cultivators, the unknown is the most terrifying.

Wang Ba had no ranking on the survival list, meaning it was impossible to judge his behaviour from his survival rate.

The only visible combat power list didn’t record any of his actions either.

But judging by the time he became a Foundation Establishment Competitor, it’s estimated that his realm and mana have evolved, but otherwise, he’s no different from a Qi Refining Stage X cultivator.

In other words, their team was practically without a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This situation is like inviting bad luck to the brink, they’re pure out of luck!

However, what comforted Hua Meng a bit was that Yue Xiang of the Secret Dao seemed to notice this as well. To ensure the completion of the task, he brought over a Qi Refining Stage X cultivator.

“You Wanli, follow Master Wang.”

“…Yes!”

Although the cultivator’s face was clearly full of dissatisfaction, he still reluctantly moved behind Wang Ba out of respect for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s reputation.

Soon, all twenty cultivators were in place.

Wang Ba also received the specific details of the mission and the supplies needed for arranging formations from Yue Xiang.

Looking at the cultivators in front of him, each harboring their own thoughts and mostly filled with hidden dissatisfaction, Wang Ba silently shook his head.

Although understanding their thoughts, he doubted the task would be easy with such a mindset.

Especially since Luolan Mountain is not near East Saint’s base, they would also have to cross a region occupied by the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators.

But right now, they just met, and he didn’t have a better plan to unite everyone in such a short time.

He would just have to take things one step at a time.

He soon led the group to a deserted place in the open space and gave a rundown of the mission’s objectives and details.
