NOVPUBBu Chan wasn’t sure if this feeling was an illusion.
However, her expression immediately became solemn.
Only to see that within the black clouds, they suddenly lit up!
She was about to take some action.
But she discovered that the Wu Monkey King had already taken a step ahead, standing in front of Liu Jin. With a slight lift of his palm, which instantaneously grew larger, covering Liu Jin within it.
"Mao! Mao! Don’t block me! I want to watch!"
Liu Jin’s annoyed voice rang out from within the Wu Monkey King’s giant palm.
However, the Wu Monkey King remained completely motionless.
"Fu! Fu! Take me out!"
Below, Fu’s vertical pupil slightly lifted, but upon catching the icy cold gaze of the Wu Monkey King looking down from above, he instantly obediently turned to watch the peak of Wanfa Peak.
In its sight, lightning dazzled, and below, a huge Black Dragon twisted and coiled, roaring upwards against the heavenly thunder.
What confused Fu was that upon closer inspection, this Black Dragon seemed to be formed by entwined beings that looked like loach but not loach, like dragons but not dragons.
Accompanied by deafening booms.
Lightning surged, striking the body of the Black Dragon.
With each strike of thunder, parts of the Black Dragon fell off.
And with each falling off, the Black Dragon would instantly disperse, and dozens of black loach-like dragon bodies would quickly devour these deceased of their kind.
After nine strikes of heavenly thunder.
The black clouds gradually dissipated, and the sky cleared.
And the originally gigantic Black Dragon, after nine strikes of the Thunder Tribulation, suddenly shrank by more than half.
But Fu, subconsciously on guard, stared at the Black Dragon, the Scale Armor on his jaws involuntarily bristled.
For some reason, despite the component loach making up the Black Dragon having been reduced by more than half, the feeling it gave off was even more dangerous.
It even felt... more dangerous than that hairy Monkey King above.
"Come back!"
Wang Ba’s voice came from afar.
Bu Chan hurriedly brought Liu Jin along with Fu and the Wu Monkey King, and they landed together on Wanfa Peak.
They just happened to see several black shadows swiftly shedding from Wang Ba’s body, burrowing into his sleeves.
"Senior Brother, this is..."
"Hehe, it’s the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers."
Wang Ba had a smile on his face, seemingly in a good mood.
Bu Chan was somewhat surprised.
She was, of course, familiar with the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, but the transformations these Mysterious Dragon Soldiers had undergone were so drastic that she couldn’t recognize them at first glance.
However, seeing Wang Ba in good spirits, clearly with some gains, Bu Chan also felt relieved.
"By the way, I just heard that the Teleportation Array in West Sea Country was..."
As she listened to Bu Chan’s words, Wang Ba’s expression suddenly changed.
He instinctively looked into the distance.
He saw a somewhat familiar sword-light swooshing from afar, its target unmistakably being Wanfa Peak.
Wang Ba was at first startled, then an unexpected smile appeared on his face, and he quickly flew up to meet it.
And that sword-light also instantly came to a standstill outside Wanfa Peak, with a figure also stepping out from within the sword-light.
Before seeing the person, the voice was heard:
"Feeling the commotion at Wanfa Peak, I came to look. I didn’t expect that Junior Brother would really be out of seclusion!"
"Haha, Senior Brother Zhao, long time no see."
The person was cold yet soft in appearance, it was Zhao Feng.
Upon seeing Wang Ba, a smile inevitably appeared on Zhao Feng’s face, but it was quickly followed by a flash of surprise in his eyes upon sensing the change in Wang Ba’s aura:
"Junior Brother... when did you cross the Golden Core Tribulation?"
"Just a few days ago. I apologize, Senior Brother, for not informing you immediately."
Wang Ba looked apologetic.
Zhao Feng didn’t mind too much:
"What’s there to mind between us brothers... However, Master mentioned a couple of days ago that he wanted to see you. I thought you were still in seclusion..."
"Martial Uncle Xumi has woken up?!"
Wang Ba was startled, then couldn’t hide his surprised joy.
Wang Ba’s reaction made Zhao Feng glance at him with wonder.
His Sword Heart being transparent, he immediately perceived something unusual.
Especially in relation to the prior discovery of Wang Ba and Xumi together in the Eightfold Sea and the subsequent successful passing of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation by Xumi, who hadn’t awoken for a long time after, his heart also momentarily had an answer he himself could hardly believe.
But he trusted his Spiritual Sense.
His expression unchanged, he simply transmitted a message:
"Junior Brother, try not to lose composure."
Wang Ba was taken aback, unable to help but look at Zhao Feng.
He saw only a forthright worry in Zhao Feng’s eyes.
After hesitating slightly, Wang Ba nodded gently.
"I wonder if the Junior Brother is free now. It happens to be a good opportunity to visit Xinjian Peak."
Zhao Feng suddenly said with a smile.
Wang Ba did not hesitate, immediately nodding in agreement.
...
Xinjian Peak.
Among the many Sword Cultivator legacies within the sect, it was outstanding.
From a distance, Xinjian Peak’s peak resembled a sword blade reaching for the sky.
The mountain was steep, and the summit was extremely narrow.
Only a few thatched huts could be accommodated at the summit.
The other Xinjian Peak disciples were scattered along the sheer cliffs and edges of Xinjian Peak, with very simple dwellings.
As the peak master, he was undoubtedly residing at the summit without question.
"Now that Master has ascended to Immortality, it probably won’t be long before he has to move to Taihe Palace..."
As Zhao Feng led Wang Ba toward the summit, he explained.
Occasionally, they could see young Xinjian Peak disciples flying up and down, all showing sincere respect when they saw Zhao Feng.
They even paused to greet him willingly.
Clearly, Zhao Feng had gained some renown among the Xinjian Peak disciples over the years.
"Then the position of peak master..."
Wang Ba couldn’t help but be curious.
"The position of peak master goes to the able. Just like the recent personal disciple competition."
"Most likely, it will be Martial Uncle Cao who will take over," Zhao Feng said casually.
