Chapter 431: Chapter 36 Power_3

However, what puzzled Wang Ba was that when the three of them entered, there was not a single person inside.

Looking at Yan Qing in confusion, Yan Qing’s face seemed to have just discovered this situation and immediately showed a hint of embarrassment:

“This… the valley master might still be in seclusion, please wait a moment, I will go and find him.”

“No need to look, I am already here.”

A loud voice echoed from not far away.

Subsequently, a cultivator in a vermilion robe strode forward.

The person who came was indeed the Huifeng Valley Master, Zhu Rong.

Upon seeing Wang Ba and Zhao Feng, Zhu Rong, who had walked up close, momentarily revealed a meaningful smile on his face:

“Shen, you are indeed blessed with great fortune, being kidnapped by a Golden Core master but still able to return safely, it’s quite astonishing.”

Yan Qing, sensing that Zhu Rong’s words had an underlying meaning, quickly defused the situation with a smile:

“Valley Master, this is because Shen’s senior brother happened to encounter Shen and rescued him.”

At the same time, he quickly introduced them:

“This is Shen’s Senior Brother, Zhao Feng, Brother Zhao.”

“Oh?”

Zhu Rong seemed a bit surprised and his gaze fell on Zhao Feng, then he couldn’t help but frown:

“Master Zhao, please forgive my frankness, but I am a straightforward person and always say what’s on my mind… Yuan Wenzhi may not be very capable, but after all, he is a middle-stage Golden Core cultivator, and Master Zhao seems to be not quite…”

Zhao Feng’s expression turned slightly cold, as if he was irritated, but he showed no reaction.

Wang Ba and Yan Qing only heard a clear and melodious sound of a sword ringing.

Hum——

Zhu Rong’s face instantly darkened, and he suddenly raised his hand, pinching with two fingers.

Wang Ba and Yan Qing quickly looked over, only to see that between Zhu Rong’s raised fingers, a tiny sword-light was struggling like a fish.

Zhu Rong’s lips curled slightly, and looking at Zhao Feng, his tone seemed somewhat frivolous:

“If Master Zhao only has this bit of strength, I don’t believe Yuan Wenzhi would—”

Before the words were finished, Zhu Rong’s face changed abruptly.

The sword-light between his fingers suddenly strained and broke free from Zhu Rong’s fingers, shooting directly at Zhu Rong’s forehead!

“Brother Zhao!”

“Senior brother, no!”

Zhu Rong’s face instantly turned solemn, cold as ice.

However, the small sword-light abruptly made a sharp turn just when it was about to touch Zhu Rong’s forehead, it flit upwards.

In an instant, the ceiling formed by yellow sand collapsed in a flash!

However, among the four people present, the weakest Wang Ba was already at the Foundation Establishment stage, so the mere yellow sand would not affect them.

But this sudden change drew the attention of the cultivators of Huifeng Valley, who were well-trained and quickly surrounded them.

Wang Ba looked around, his complexion slightly condensed, and a hint of tension emerged.

Zhao Feng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Yan Qing kept his silence, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

But Zhu Rong, his face initially cold, melted like ice and snow; then, he waved his hand commandingly:

“Everyone, back off!”

Then, looking at Zhao Feng with a gleam in his eye, he suddenly burst out laughing:

“Excellent!”

“Seems like I have misjudged.”

He looked at Wang Ba, his face showing dissatisfaction:

“Shen, my brother, I have to criticise you. Your senior brother is formidable! But why haven’t I heard you introduce him before? If I knew you had such a senior brother, I would have kidnapped you no matter what!”

The atmosphere instantly loosened up.

After a moment of stunned silence Wang Ba’s face brightened with a smile:

“It was my fault, I should have introduced you to Master Zhu sooner.”

Yan Qing also reacted very quickly and immediately put on a smile towards both Wang Ba and Zhao Feng, saying:

“Hehe, you two shouldn’t think too much about it. Our Valley Master has always been like this, liking to joke around. As a matter of fact, he’s wanted Shen to come over for quite a while now!”

“I understand, I understand.”

Wang Ba said with a smile.

“Who needs your explanations.”

Zhu Rong laughed and scolded Yan Qing. He then walked over to Zhao Feng nonchalantly and said heartily:

“Come, Brother Zhao, we must have a good drink today!”

Zhao Feng remained silent, glancing at Wang Ba.

Wang Ba smiled and said: “Senior brother, since the Valley Master has invited us, it would be ungracious to refuse.”

Only then did Zhao Feng nod.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Rong’s expression didn’t change, but his gaze lingered on Wang Ba, taking a closer look at him.

After some reluctance and insistence, the four quickly arrived at another building.

Female disciples were already waiting with wine and dishes, and attending them closely.

More female cultivators were present, playing music and dancing.

The sound of flute and stringed instruments was melancholy and longing.

Zhu Rong was uninhibited, a stark contrast to Lin Boyue’s gentle and scholarly manner.

When drinking, he was completely unconstrained.

The atmosphere quickly became warm and lively, from the detached state at the beginning.

Plus, the spirit wine of Huifeng Valley was unusually potent. Under the condition of not using mana, it didn’t take long for everyone to become flushed and tipsy, reaching the peak of enjoyment.

Seizing the opportunity brought by the alcohol, Zhu Rong, his face flushed, raised his glass and squinted at Wang Ba with a smile:

“Little brother, burp… If Brother Zhao has nothing else to do at the moment, why not ask him to come to me? As for the Dan elixirs and other needs for cultivation, I can supply them generously!”

Wang Ba also felt drunk, his face flushed from the alcohol:

“Hehe, this, you should ask my senior brother…”

However, Zhu Rong shook his head:

“Little brother, can’t I still see it? Your senior brother… he, he listens to you!”

“No… no…”

Wang Ba hurriedly waved his hands.

Zhu Rong suddenly stared: “Little brother, you can’t fool me, I am very clear about this kind of tactic. You just draw a line, and you’ll see if your old brother can catch it.”
