NOVPUBTherefore, most of the teleportation array within our sect is handled by Diwu Hall.
However, since the teleportation array of Fengyu Mountain is located at the front line, it is likely, out of many considerations, to be set up within Tianyuan Hall, or perhaps Taiyang Mountain, or Shaoyang Mountain.
Wang Ba asked the disciple who was guarding the teleportation array and found out that it was indeed located within Tianyuan Hall.
With their guidance, he immediately found the exit to leave.
However, as he was leaving, he faintly heard words such as ’reinforcement’, ’Daosheng Continent,’ ’Immortal Ascension,’ ’defeated,’ ’puppet,’ and so on from the mouths of the passing Golden Core craftsmen.
Something stirred in Wang Ba’s mind, and he wanted to ask about it in detail.
But it seemed that everyone in the hall was in a rush and everyone had their own business to attend to, so Wang Ba didn’t know who to stop and ask.
After all, he remembered to report the situation, he did not dare to delay. Immediately, he hastily left, flying straight out of Tianyuan Hall and descending downward.
Looking at the familiar scenery below, it gave off a leisurely feel.
Not long ago, he was still clinging on to his life amidst the violent waves of the West Sea.
Changes in life, indeed as dreams come true.
In Wang Ba’s heart, he couldn’t help but think of Bu Chan and little Wang Yi’an, who was still in his infancy when he had left. A feeling of urgency naturally arose in his heart.
But he could distinguish between urgency and importance. He immediately hastened to Shaoyin Mountain.
"Requesting an audience with the Mountain Lord ... Wang Ba? Wait, you are Wang Ba?"
Outside the hall, a deacon from Shaoyin Mountain heard Wang Ba introduced himself and was suddenly taken aback.
This name might not be renowned elsewhere, but it is well-known on Shaoyin Mountain.
It is not because Wang Ba has any remarkable abilities, but his disappearance while carrying out his mission led peak masters or ministers of major peaks to come and inquire repeatedly.
The Human Virtue Palace Master from the peak above Shaoyin Mountain had also personally come to find the Mountain Lord and ask about Wang Ba’s situation.
Such a grand procession, even if an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect went missing, I’m afraid they wouldn’t necessarily have it.
As a result, everyone on Shaoyin Mountain kept it in mind.
Now that they suddenly saw the man in person, they were naturally surprised. They had originally prepared to refuse him according to the rules, but now they said pleasantly:
"Are you here to report your mission? That’s not necessary. The leader of your mission this time has already turned it in. Yes, I remember all the rewards of merit for them were given to you. You can go to the Quest Hall to collect them ..."
Wang Ba was taken aback, feeling a slight warmth in his heart. In his mind, he couldn’t help but think of Xi Wushang, Ji Yuan, Lou Yi, Zhen Boen, and others.
The patrol mission also has a reward for merit, and depending on the situation of the patrol, a certain amount of merit will be awarded.
Of course, it will not be too much. After all, this is, in essence, a task for training middle and low-class disciples, with the focus on their training. The merit is just a bonus.
But to an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, it can be equivalent to the gains from several years of service.
However, Wang Ba came here not just for merit. He quickly took out the letter from Shen Ying and handed it to the other party.
"This is a handwritten letter from Guardian Shen of the Southern Town of West Sea Country. Please deliver it to the Mountain Lord on my behalf."
When the Deacon heard this, he immediately turned serious, received the letter, and said immediately: "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he hastily walked into the main hall of Shaoyin Mountain.
Not long after, Wang Ba suddenly saw a stream of light flying out from the main hall not too far away.
Not much time passed before the Deacon he’d spoken to just now came back out respectfully, saying:
"Martial Uncle Wang, please come in."
Just from the small change in the title, Wang Ba vaguely felt a change in the other party’s attitude.
"You’re too kind,"
Wang Ba said, bowing slightly.
Under the lead of the other party, he headed towards the main hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the cultivators inside each quite busy and bustling about.
At the top of the hall, there was a middle-aged cultivator with sword-like eyebrows that extended into his temples, a solemn and strict face, and who was wearing a large ocher cloak. He was reviewing documents with a frown.
Feeling the authoritative and solemn temperament of the other party, Wang Ba instinctively straightened his body.
What surprised Wang Ba though, was how the other party seemed to have noticed him and looked up.
Seeing Wang Ba, he surprisingly revealed a warm smile on his face, and praised:
"Hehe, so you are Martial Nephew Wang? Indeed it is true what they say, seeing is believing. It seems that Master Yao has a good disciple."
Wang Ba was surprised internally.
’Shaoyin Mountain’ has the authority to decide reward and punishment. While it is part of the Human Virtue Hall, it holds immense power, and in order to act in favor, it is granted the privilege of direct access to the Sect Master’s ear.
With such a background, it is naturally a daunting presence to the average disciple of the sect.
And the image of Mountain Lord Qu Shentong from Shaoyin Mountain in the minds of the disciples within the sect, that is even more like the living Rock King. It is commonly heard that he uses the secret technique of Shehun Peak to severely punish those who break the rules of the sect.
However, what he sees now seems to be contrary to the rumors.
Of course, Wang Ba wouldn’t be naive enough to think that the other party is really as kind as they appear. After respectfully giving Qu Shentong a bow, he responded:
"You overpraise me, Uncle Master."
Seeing that Wang Ba’s response was appropriate, Qu Shentong nodded slightly, then said seriously:
"Your Guardian Shen has already mentioned in his letter what he wanted to say. I have already reported it to the Sect Master. However, the Sect Master is now busy with Xumi’s Buddhist Ascension and I’m not clear when he will summon you."
"Martial Uncle Xumi..."
A thought came to Wang Ba’s mind. He recalled the stream of light he had seen earlier and a worried expression emerged on his face, "I wonder how Martial Uncle Xumi is doing now ..."
