Chapter 253: Chapter 49 Living Hell_2

He activated a Class II Wood Fire, quickly destroying the corpse.

Soon after, Wang Ba flew back to the group.

However, Wang Ba quickly noticed a change.

Previously, these cultivators were speaking without any restraint in front of Wang Ba, not showing the smallest hint of respect for him in their eyes.

But now, each of them lowered their heads in respect, not daring to make any eye contact with him.

The old cultivator who initially urged Wang Ba to switch tasks was trembling with anxiety.

Upon seeing this change, Wang Ba was surprised at first, but then his mood became much better.

“So it was that simple, I just needed to establish my power…”

He thought pensively.

He suddenly realized that he had been worrying over nothing. When he first took over these Qi Refining stage cultivators, he should have immediately displayed his capabilities, so they would respect him.

The world of cultivators is straightforward after all.

He was the one who overcomplicated things.

Among the crowd, Hua Meng was both shocked and in awe.

Seeing Wang Ba flying over, he quickly walked up and presented Wang Ba with the Dark Golden Saber that the cultivator from the Mountain Sea Sect left behind. Then he bowed and asked earnestly,

“Senior, what should we do next?”

“You can arrange it, but do it quickly and ensure safety.”

Wang Ba didn’t intend to make his presence felt; in reality, he didn’t need to.

When he spoke, who dared to disobey?

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s command, Hua Meng was immediately energized. He bowed quickly and turned around to make arrangements.

This time, nobody dared to say anything unnecessary. They cooperated with Hua Meng obediently.

Soon, they burned the corpse of You Wanli on the spot.

Surprisingly, they did not encounter any Incense-burning Dao Cultivator afterwards.

Everything went so smoothly that it felt a bit unreal to Wang Ba.

After the group flew for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.

Luolan Mountain.

The mountain was rich in spirit mines and materials, exposed peaks refracting charming blue lights under the sun’s rays.

The Luo River passed by the mountain, thus it was named Luolan Mountain.

Worried about being spotted by the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators, they all flew close to the ground until they reached the foot of Luolan Mountain, then they proceeded alongside the mountain.

Under advance planning by Hua Meng, each of the 18 Qi Refining cultivators got the corresponding materials for their formation and then each set off separately.

As Wang Ba was the leader of this trip, naturally no one dared to task him.

As the coordinator, Hua Meng stayed with Wang Ba.

“Senior, according to the requirements from the Secret Dao, once the formation is set up, it would be best to check it from the top of this Luolan Mountain to confirm that the formation is correct.”

Hua Meng carefully reminded.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba nodded, “Then we’ll head to the mountaintop first, waiting for their message.”

The pair began their climb to the mountain summit.

In no time, both of them successfully reached the top of Luolan Mountain.

Looking down, they saw a winding river dividing the land within their sight into two parts.

Luolan Mountain was situated along the river, serving as a great barrier separating east and west.

On one side was an expansive plain.

On the other side was an endless range of hills.

The dividing line was clear.

Overlooking the mountains, Wang Ba also found his mind broadening.

But with his excellent vision, he spotted pavilions and temple halls amidst a group of gorges in the southeast…

“What place is that?”

Wang Ba asked out of curiosity.

Looking at the place Wang Ba pointed out, Hua Meng uncertainly said, “According to the direction, it should be the location of the Mountain Sea Sect.” “Mountain Sea Sect?”

Wang Ba was taken aback.

He immediately remembered the Mountain Sea Sect cultivator who he killed earlier.

He had been wondering why a member of the Mountain Sea Sect would be here. Now it seemed that they were right on their doorstep, it was perfectly normal for a cultivator from the Mountain Sea Sect to appear.

However, remembering that he killed a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Mountain Sea Sect not far from their territory, Wang Ba instantly felt a sense of unease.

He frowned and told Hua Meng, “Tell everyone to speed up.”

Hua Meng, puzzled, immediately used a special method to send the message to the others.

He didn’t dare to use the Sound Transmission Talisman, fearing it would be detected.

After waiting for a while, the uneasy feeling in Wang Ba’s heart grew stronger.

Just then, he took out a transparent stone slab from the Storage Bag given by the Tianmen Cult. As he looked through the slab, he could see subtle rays of light flashing at the foot of Luolan Mountain.

The rays of light vaguely formed a network.

“It’s done!”

Hua Meng exclaimed excitedly from one side.

Wang Ba nodded slightly and immediately issued a command, “Go!”

Saying this, he directly jumped from the top of Luolan Mountain, disappearing into the mist around the middle of the mountain.

Despite his rough appearance, Hua Meng was indeed meticulous. Seeing Wang Ba’s impatience and recalling the previous instructions of Wang Ba, he made a guess and quickly sent a final message, and then promptly followed Wang Ba.

As for the seasoned Qi Refiners who received the message, they didn’t need any reminders. Each had already started to retreat.

A short while later.

Boom!

On top of Luolan Mountain, several streaks of light successively fell, triggering a huge noise.

A great amount of sand and stone was churned up into the air.

Five cultivators dressed in the Mountain Sea Sect attire, all at the Foundation Establishment stage, strode out of the dust cloud.

The one in the lead, whose aura was clearly at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, had a grim look on his face.

“Junior Brother Xiong’s aura disappeared not far ahead. Unless there’s been some accident, he must be dead..”
