"Junior Brother Wang, you indeed made a name for yourself in front of all the Martial uncles."
Amid the swirling mist in mid-air,
Xi Wushang looked at Wang Ba with a cheerful smile.
"Senior Brother Xi, please stop teasing me."
Wang Ba looked helpless.
Although no one deliberately spread the previous incident at the Chunyang Palace,
when the elders returned to educate their disciples, they couldn’t help but use Wang Ba as an example.
Thus, Wang Ba’s refusal of the marriage proposal from the Immortal Ascension realm was also widely known.
As a disciple of Chunyuan Peak, Xi Wushang naturally learned about this matter soon.
However, his tone was just kidding. Xi Wushang’s heart was full of admiration and gratitude towards Wang Ba.
During the previous incident at Elong Beach, had it not been for Wang Ba who saved the day at the critical moment, all of the disciples who were on the patrol mission would probably have been annihilated.
Every time he thought of this, Xi Wushang felt both ashamed and frightened, which made his gratitude towards Wang Ba grow.
"I didn’t expect that Qin Lingxiao would think so highly of you."
Xi Wushang sighed.
Wang Ba quickly shook his head: "Please, Brother, don’t bring it up again."
"Hehe, alright then."
Seeing that Wang Ba didn’t want to talk about it anymore, Xi Wushang nodded slightly.
At the same time,
They could vaguely see that a small number of cultivators were walking out from the teleportation array on a huge platform below in the distance.
The disciples of Rende Hall had already prepared around the ’Spirit Mirage Heart-inquiring Array’ in the middle of the platform.
However, as the Spirit Mirage Heart-inquiring Array lifted up the radiance,
A layer of mist rose up around the platform, making it impossible for Wang Ba to see anything clear even with his spiritual sense.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Zhao is here yet."
Wang Ba looked at the platform covered in mist somewhat regretfully.
Xi Wushang also looked disappointed, then comforted him, "There’s news from West Sea Country, he’s coming today… Don’t worry, I’ve been in Rende Hall for many years. Although I’ve never been in charge of the initiation examination, I have some colleagues there. The result of Junior Brother Zhao’s examination will be told to me as soon as it is out."
During the time when Wang Ba disappeared at Elong Beach, Xi Wushang stayed in Yundang for a long time.
During this period, due to searching for Wang Ba together, he developed a friendship with Zhao Feng.
Knowing that Zhao Feng was coming, he specifically invited Wang Ba to come here, so that they could see Zhao Feng as soon as he finished the initiation examination.
"It’s a shame that Lu Yu isn’t here. He would have come, after all, they are from Xinjian Peak."
Xi Wushang said regretfully.
Wang Ba was suddenly curious,
"Is there only Senior Brother Lu in Xinjian Peak?"
Xi Wushang shook his head, "Of course not. The Sword Dao inheritance has very high requirements for talent and qualification, but there aren’t that few. But as I know, Martial Uncle Xumi, who is focused on cultivation, only has one disciple under him, Zhao Feng. And Lu Yu is the disciple of Xinjian Peak’s another Martial Uncle. Now that Martial Uncle Xumi is not here, as the representative figure of Golden Core stage in Xinjian Peak, he naturally has to come out to welcome."
"It’s a pity that Lu Yu has gone to Sen State and hasn’t come back yet."
Wang Ba couldn’t help but remember the indifferent figure he saw at the gathering on Shaoyin Mountain.
If he remembers correctly, that person should have been sent to Sen State at that time.
He suddenly thought of Bai Xiaoyun, the storyteller at the tea house in Xuanwu Market. He was also assigned to go to Sen State for patrol duty. Unfortunately, something happened afterwards, and he disappeared and never returned.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but wonder,
"What happened in Sen State? Why does it seem like a lot of cultivators are going there?"
When it came to Sen State, Xi Wushang furrowed his brow, "Well...I hadn’t paid much attention to it, but I heard that things have been chaotic in Sen State lately. After Qiao State and Yan State were extinguished by Incense Fire Dao, a lot of people fled to…"
"Yan State was wiped out?!"
Wang Ba was stunned and couldn’t help exclaiming.
Although Xi Wushang didn’t understand why Wang Ba was so shocked, he still explained the situation he knew:
"Actually, two or three years ago, Incense Fire Dao deployed a lot of top cultivators to subdue Qiao State and Yan State in one night. The cultivators in the two states were either incorporated or massacred. Chu Dynasty and Qi Dynasty were also completely divided and could only fight separately. Half a year ago, Song State was also ruined. I don’t know what will happen next... If they dare to invade Jin, I’d like to meet them."
In Xi Wushang’s eyes, there was a hint of itching for a fight. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
But hearing Xi Wushang’s words, Wang Ba felt a complex feeling for a moment.
"They still couldn’t resist in the end?"
Thinking of the battle at Yanqiao Pass several years ago, the desperate fight of Li Xiangyun and the others, the whitened bones in Yanqiao Pass…
If it weren’t for his master Yao Wudi taking him away from there, he might have been one of the slaughtered.
Of course, maybe he would have sensed something amiss in time and escaped.
But many things can’t be assumed, and now he could only sigh silently.
Just as he was speaking,
Xi Wushang’s face suddenly changed, and then he showed a look of joy.
A sound transmission talisman flew out from the platform covered in mist in the distance.
Xi Wushang took the sound transmission talisman, scanned it quickly, and couldn’t help but look shocked.
"Middle A!"
"Old Yan said he was almost Upper A!"
Wang Ba wasn’t surprised.
He learned from Yao Wudi that his previous score in the Heart-inquiring Array was Lower A.
