NOVPUBWhile they were talking, they saw a figure flying toward them at a leisurely pace within the Formation.
"It’s You, my friend, who has come! Wang, later we can ask him to pass on the message."
A smile appeared on Ji Lan’s face.
However, he saw the other person looking at him with a complex expression.
Ji Lan was taken aback and felt even more puzzled in his heart.
He always felt that this person seemed to know him somewhat.
But he was certain that he had never met the other person before.
Nevertheless, his mind was not on these matters; seeing You Zhong approaching, he quickly flew over and said:
"You, my friend, where is Elder Fan now? Let’s go find him right away."
"Hey, hey, hey, no entry allowed! Who said you could enter now? What’s the rush? Elder Fan is currently supervising the disciples’ cultivation; just wait a little longer!"
You Zhong frowned and stopped Ji Lan and the two others, who were about to fly in.
Upon hearing this, Ji Lan was stunned and on his tired face could no longer be contained, a touch of anger showed:
"You, my friend! Do you really think I, Ji Lan, am so easily bullied!"
Seeing the surging and dense mana on Ji Lan’s body, You Zhong immediately took a fearful step back, then, as if thinking of something, his expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Martial Uncle Ji, what is this? Are you planning to make a scene at the entrance of the Wanzhou School?"
Behind him, sensing the tense atmosphere, within the Formation, there seemed to be a malicious aura surreptitiously targeting Ji Lan!
Feeling this aura, Ji Lan, who was overtaken by anger, was like having a bucket of cold water poured over his head and immediately came to his senses.
The methods of the Wanzhou School were incredibly devious and could be enacted from a distance without direct confrontation.
As a Golden pill completed cultivator, he was not afraid, but for the disciples and various Elders in the Sect...
Thinking of these, a sense of bitterness rose in Ji Lan’s heart.
In the end, he still lowered his head slightly:
"You, my friend, jests... I, I was just a bit impatient just now and lost my composure; please don’t be angry."
"Hmph!"
You Zhong let out a cold hmph and didn’t care for Ji Lan; his gaze passed over the three of them and turned to the carriage not far away, then with a slightly furrowed brow, he extended his hand politely and said:
"May I ask who is esteemed and what brings you to Wanzhou School?"
The young cultivator glanced at him but did not speak, instead directly pulling down the carriage curtain.
You Zhong couldn’t help but be stunned, then immediately his face darkened.
In Sen State, Wanzhou School dominated alone, and with their Curse Dao methods being so peculiar, truly no one dared to show displeasure at the gate of Wanzhou School.
Seeing this scene, Ji Lan and the other two were also somewhat astonished.
Yet they also felt immensely gratified.
You Zhong’s face turned completely dark as he spoke in a cold voice:
"Since the esteemed guest does not wish to reveal their purpose, then please leave!"
And at that moment.
Directly from the carriage was tossed out an object.
Ji Lan fixed his gaze and saw that it was actually a token with characters seemingly engraved on it, but he did not see clearly.
However, at the sight of this token, You Zhong was first taken aback, then his expression changed dramatically!
The anger that darkened his face initially froze for a moment before he quickly squeezed out a smile.
But the smile, still mixed with the previous gloominess, appeared distorted and bizarre.
"This lowly one was unaware of the Upper Sect’s arrival! For offending the Upper Sect, please forgive us!"
"Please, this way, Upper Sect! Right this way!"
As he spoke, You Zhong while loudly apologizing, took the initiative to open the Formation.
The coachman on the carriage, however, seemed very composed, as if not at all surprised, and drove the carriage towards the great banyan tree.
And at this moment.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted again.
The young cultivator looked toward Ji Lan, who had still not regained his composure:
"Ye Lingyu... or should I say, Elder Qin Heng, why didn’t he come?"
As soon as these words came out.
Ji Lan, as well as the two behind him, were shaken to their cores and looked incredulously at the young cultivator inside the carriage.
"How do you know..."
Ji Lan couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
The young cultivator simply smiled and advised casually,
"Martial Uncle Ji Lan, once you’re done with your business, don’t leave. Wait for me."
With that said, he gently let down the carriage curtain.
The carriage quickly flew towards the great banyan tree.
Soon, under the shocked gazes of Ji Lan and the other two, numerous figures flew out of the great banyan tree, among them even the aura of two Nascent Soul cultivators…
"Who exactly is he?"
The cultivator surnamed Gao watched the carriage recede, his eyes full of amazement and suspicion, unable to resist asking.
Ji Lan was equally filled with doubts at the moment,
"Among those in the Sect who know about Elder Qin’s affairs... even if it’s someone from within, it would just be a few of us, Wang Ba... what is the origin of this person?"
He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the great banyan tree again.
Being able to make You Zhong so arrogant at first and respectful afterwards, and even stir the Wanzhou School into full action, with Nascent Soul cultivators disturbed, yet this person knew about Elder Qin... The identity of this individual was truly unimaginable.
But the cultivator surnamed Gao looked towards Ji Lan and asked, "Sect Master, what do we do now?"
Ji Lan, biting his lip slightly, said,
"We will wait here!"
"What?"
The cultivator surnamed Gao was startled.
Ji Lan spoke in a deep voice,
"This person’s identity is certainly extraordinary, and the Wanzhou School is so serious about him. If we can establish a relationship with him, it might be more useful than directly seeking out the Wanzhou School."
"This…"
The cultivator surnamed Gao thought for a moment, and finding the reasoning sound, he did not speak further.
Of the three, only the elder surnamed Hui was frowning and deep in thought.
"Strange... Why do I feel like I’ve heard this name before... There shouldn’t be many who would choose this name…"
"Who mentioned it to me?"
…
"Never would I have expected the heavenly master himself to grace us with his presence! The Wanzhou School is truly honored and radiant with glory!"
At this moment.
Inside the naturally formed palace at the very top of the great banyan tree.
Wang Ba sat at the head.
The master of the Wanzhou School was seated slightly lower than Wang Ba.
It wasn’t that Wang Ba was being presumptuous.
But as the Right Enforcer of the Diwu Hall of the Wanxiang Sect, his every action here represented the face of the Sect and could not afford to be overly modest.
Faced with the flattery from the master of the Wanzhou School, Wang Ba was gradually getting used to it.
With a light smile, he said, "Master Wang is too modest... My visit is not for official Sect business, but rather a simple request to borrow your School’s Curse Dao lineage."
"Borrow the Curse Dao lineage?"
The Wanzhou School’s master was momentarily stunned, showing an involuntary look of difficulty on his face.
Indeed, the cultivation methods and lineages of a Sect are undoubtedly of crucial importance.
Normally, casually seeking the lineage of another Sect is a great taboo.
Wang Ba’s outright request to see the Wanzhou School’s Curse Dao lineage was indeed somewhat excessive.
Hence, even though the Wanzhou School’s master held a great reverence for the Wanxiang Sect, he could not help but hesitate at this moment.
Seeing his reaction, Wang Ba had anticipated this and calmly said,
"If Master Wang has any requests, feel free to state them."
Upon hearing these words, the Wanzhou School’s master hesitated slightly and then, clenching his teeth, said,
"I won’t hide it from Master Wang, the Curse Dao lineage of the Wanzhou School has been cultivated for many years, how could it easily be used as a condition for an exchange?"
Wang Ba: "Oh?"
After a long while.
The Wanzhou School’s master was smiling from ear to ear as he led Wang Ba to the site of the Wanzhou School’s lineage.
In a grand gesture,
"Master, take whichever you like! Don’t worry, we have backups!"
