NOVPUBThe first holy child was not the strongest among the Nascent Soul Cultivators within the sect.
He merely had a great possibility of advancing to Immortal Ascension, whereas some of the veteran Nascent Soul cultivators, having lost hope of promotion, devoted more thought to magical combat and hence were actually stronger.
But this did not mean the first holy child was weak; on the contrary, most cultivators in the late-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm were no match for him.
And yet, this disheveled cultivator who appeared like a beggar clearly outclassed the first holy child.
His identity truly piqued his curiosity.
At this moment, a trace of confusion also surfaced on Shen Fu’s face. After a slight hesitation, he raised his hand, cupped his fist in greeting, and said,
"I dare to ask senior, who has entrusted you? So that I may offer my thanks."
His mind was filled with myriad doubts.
He genuinely did not understand how he could have such a beneficial acquaintance in Northsea Continent, able to invite such a mysterious great cultivator to take action.
The disheveled cultivator seemed to sense something and impatiently pointed into the distance:
"There, just over there!"
Having said this, he suddenly transformed into a streak of sword-light, hurriedly flying toward the burly man from Tubizhou continent who was leaping over.
Shen Fu and Gong Xiyin were both somewhat astonished. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
They immediately followed the direction indicated by the disheveled cultivator.
At the end of their line of sight, a black dot was rapidly flying towards them.
A strange voice, carrying a hint of surprise, suddenly sounded in Shen Fu’s mind:
"Eh... it’s actually him..."
"Who?"
Shen Fu quickly asked, but then he couldn’t help but have his gaze drawn to the rapidly enlarging black dot in the distance.
It was an exquisitely crafted iron vessel.
The vessel was enveloped in a warm light, allowing it to move unhindered and unaffected by the wind and snow.
On the iron vessel, there stood three figures.
The person in the lead was standing at the bow with hands behind his back.
As the snowflakes fluttered, his simple robe flew in the wind, giving off the air of a celestial, as if he stood apart from the world.
Shen Fu grew even more puzzled:
"Who is this person?"
The iron vessel swiftly approached.
When Shen Fu clearly saw the person’s face, he was instantly stunned, scarcely able to believe his eyes:
"Brother... Brother?!"
In just the blink of an eye, the iron vessel had swiftly arrived.
The man standing at the bow had an ordinary face, yet it was filled with a peaceful and serene aura, if not Wang Ba, then who?
Seeing Shen Fu, Wang Ba stepped forward slightly, and a gentle breeze swept by, silently landing him in front of Shen Fu.
After carefully looking Shen Fu up and down, he couldn’t help but show a trace of joy on his face:
"I thought I was mistaken, but it really is junior brother. After dozens of years apart, how have you been?"
Who could have expected that, after decades, they would meet again on Northsea Continent, far from Fenglin Continent? The sudden encounter filled Shen Fu’s heart with inexpressible joy; for a moment, he became choked up as he recalled the precariousness of the past decades:
"Brother... I never expected to see you here..."
Behind Shen Fu, Gong Xiyin swept his gaze over Ying He who stood behind Wang Ba, and couldn’t help but cautiously take another look at Wang Ba, his heart suddenly filled with shock:
"It’s Wanxiang Sect’s Ying He... He clearly possesses only a Golden Core aura, but it seems his status is somehow even above Ying He’s. Who exactly is he?"
"The lord clearly is of the Nascent Soul Realm, yet he addresses this man as brother with great reverence, could it be that he possesses some special skills?"
Various questions surfaced in Gong Xiyin’s mind.
Shen Fu suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Gong Xiyin.
Gong Xiyin immediately understood his intention, and quickly bowed, saying, "Xi Yin will go see how that Tubizhou cultivator is doing."
Shen Fu shook his head slightly and took out a box of elixirs from his sleeve, tossing it to him:
"Recover first, then we’ll talk."
Gong Xiyin, though well aware this was the other party’s way of winning favor, couldn’t help but feel slightly elated, and quickly wrapped up the elixirs and flew off.
While Ying He and Li Yingfu, seeing Wang Ba and the holy child of the Demon Sect appear to be great friends, tacitly returned to the cabin and set up an Isolation Array.
Seeing that those irrelevant had already left,
Wang Ba then stepped forward with concern:
"What happened? How did you get involved with cultivators from the Three Continents?"
Shen Fu gave a wry smile of helplessness: "It’s a long story."
Then he recounted his quest for treasure that led him to being embroiled by the holy child of the Demon Sect to Northsea Continent, and how he encountered a fierce black Spirit Chicken.
He continued by explaining how they successfully found the treasure but were then besieged by cultivators from the Three Continents just as they were about to leave Northsea Continent.
After a tough battle, now only the two of them were left.
Upon hearing Shen Fu’s ordeal, Wang Ba’s expression turned somewhat strange.
From his sleeve, he pulled out several storage rings and passed them to Shen Fu.
"This is... How does brother have the Storage Treasures of Yan Zhenyi and Bian Burang? I remember their Storage Rings should have all been taken by that black Spirit Chicken..."
Shen Fu was startled to see the storage rings Wang Ba produced.
Wang Ba shook his head slightly:
"That Spirit Chicken also happens to have some connection with me. You should have seen it before, it is Fanming’s primordial spirit that possessed Bing 1’s body. Now extremely powerful, there are few in the Nascent Soul Realm that could rival it. You were quite unlucky to encounter it."
On hearing this, Shen Fu, still in shock, also realized:
"No wonder it looked so familiar."
Saying so, he returned the rings to Wang Ba, who, however, waved his hand to stop him:
"These items are resources necessary for the Demon Sect’s cultivation and are of little value to me. You might as well keep them for your own cultivation."
