Chapter 254: Chapter 49 Living Hell_3

"Damn it! It must have been those beasts from the Incense Fire Dao! I don't understand why the Sect Master doesn't let us act. If we allied with the other four sects, we could easily wipe out those bastards from the Incense Fire Dao!"

One cultivator spoke with resentment in his voice.

The leading cultivator frowned and said:

"Alright, enough. The Sect Master had his reasons for this decision. Let's go find Junior Brother Xiong's remains, perhaps we can still find them."

"However… it is a bit strange. In the past, as soon as we arrived here, the people from the Incense Fire Dao would immediately rush over. Today, they haven't shown up yet."

"What's so strange aboutthat? Those beasts, probably took a severe hit fighting with Junior Brother Xiong earlier. They must be hiding now to recover."

Someone dismissively said.

But the leading cultivator merely shook his head, unable to think of any other possibilities.

The five of them then flew down the mountain.

On a desolate hill located four hundred miles from Luolan Mountain.

Looking at the exhausted cultivators beside him due to their enduring sprint, Wang Ba quietly exhaled a breath of relief.

To prevent being captured by the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators while being separated, hence leaking information,

everyone gathered on the way back.

Thankfully, so far, the journey back has been smooth.

Aside from encountering two waves of Incense-burning Dao Cultivators and that cultivator from Mountain Sea Sect, they hadn't encountered anyone else.

" If we head northwest for another twelve hundred miles, we should be safe."

"But it's best if we take this route. This is where the Incense Fire Dao's strength is weakest, and it's a route we often take."

Hua Meng was flipping through the map. Pointing at a spot on the map, he spoke.

Wang Ba nodded in agreement: "Let everyone rest a bit, then we'll move on together."

"But only for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Rushing a long journey may lead to disastrous consequences if an ambush catches them off-guard because of depleted mana and poor condition.

Therefore, although Wang Ba was eager to return, he would stop every now and then to rest and recover.

Thankfully, they hadn't encountered any Incense-burning Dao Cultivators on the way, nor had the expected Mountain Sea Sect cultivators shown up. The journey was much simpler than expected.

An incense-burning time later.

After Wang Ba finished his adjustment, his condition was largely recovered, so he gave the order for everyone to move on.

By now, no one dared to defy Wang Ba' s orders, and this was exactly what everyone wanted.

So they set off again.

However, what puzzled Wang Ba was that they still did not encounter any Incense-burning Dao Cultivators on the way.

Even when passing some towns, it could be sensed that many followers of the Incense Fire Dao reside there, but there were no cultivators.

This caused Wang Ba to feel an inexplicable unease.

Before long, Wang Ba's spiritual sense caught a whiff of something amiss, and he abruptly raised his hand:

"Everyone stop!"

All quickly halted. Hua Meng immediately flew over to Wang Ba:

"Senior."

Wang Ba didn't speak, his face solemn as he flew forward a distance.

Hua Meng, not understanding why, commandeered his flying tool and followed Wang Ba.

However, when he passed a dense grove of trees and saw the sight before him, he felt an uncontrollable urge to heave in his stomach.

In front of him.

It was a veritable living hell!

Everything was bathed in red!

Limbs and organs were strewn everywhere; eyeballs, severed fingers, intestines…

Some belonged to Incense-burning Dao Cultivators, but more belonged to Tianmen Cult cultivators!

But when Hua Meng's eyes swept over a mangled body, he froze instantly. "ZhuZiji?!"

Chapter 255: Chapter 50 Li Canghai!_i

Seeing the shattered body lying on the ground.

Hua Meng could hardly believe his eyes.

Wang Ba also noticed the mutilated corpse, and walked up to it with a surprised expression.

After examining with his Spiritual Sense, Wang Ba stood up quickly, his face pale.

Zhu Ziji's body was shockingly split open by a Class III level of force, scattered in all directions, his intestines severed. He was about as dead as one could be.

"Could it have been the work of the Golden Core masters of the Incense Fire Dao?"

The only possibility that Wang Ba could think of.

He instantly understood why they had not encountered any cultivators of the Incense Fire Dao on their previous trips to and returning from Luolan mountain.

It seemed that these Incense Fire Dao cultivators had been coming after Zhu Ziji.

"The aura on the body hasn't been there for long… That means the Incense Fire Dao cultivator who decapitated Zhu Ziji might still be nearby!"

Wang Ba's heart gave a leap.

"There's more danger nearby!"

Just then, he suddenly heard Hua Meng's cry of surprise.

"What's happening?!"

He quickly cast his Spiritual Sense into the distance.

However, apart from the cultivators who were following him, Wang Ba didn't see any others removal.

His gaze then swept over to Hua Meng, who had a shocked look on his face and was pointing at one spot:

"He, he moved!"

At Hua Meng's words, Wang Ba faltered, a chill running down his spine!

He immediately retreated, and upon looking at the spot Hua Meng pointed, saw an alarming sight.

Zhu Ziji's mutilated corpse, his severed intestines, started to move on their own!

As if endowed with life, they came closer to each other at a lightning speed!

Simultaneously, Zhu Ziji's originally closed eyes abruptly opened, staring straight at Wang Ba!

His eyes were spariding, internalizing a divine light, devoid of any signs of being dead?

It took Wang Ba a moment to react:

"He didn't die?!"

Zhu Ziji also saw Wang Ba and Hua Meng, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he obviously recognized them as the heresy cultivators.

However, he wasn't bothered one bit, as with a simple thought.

In the blink of an eye, his shattered body came together as if it had its own consciousness.

However, there was a scar around his waist and abdomen. The red muscles were rolling at the wound, but they couldn't heal.

Seeing the unrecoverable wound, Zhu Ziji's face showed a somewhat displeasing look, but still raised his head to look at Wang Ba:

"I remember you, you were also one of the leaders of the mission. Have you completed your mission?"

A man's reputation is like his shadow.

For this Butcher Dao cultivator who ranked fifth in the combat power ranking, Wang Ba dared not take him lightly and nodded slightly:

"Nice to meet you, Brother Zhu, my mission has been completed. Did you encounter the cultivator from the Incense Fire Dao?"

Zhu Ziji didn't hide anything and said frankly:

"After I entered the area controlled by the Incense Fire Dao, they detected my presence. Then they launched an attack on me and my team under the leadership of Li Canghai."

"Li Canghai is indeed capable, possessing a Class III spell and a Class III Magic Tool… I had no choice but to play dead to escape when outnumbered."

A Class III spell and a Class III Magic Tool?

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was taken aback, and now understood why there were remnants of a Class III aura on Zhu Ziji.

It wasn't the work of the Golden Core masters, but because Li Canghai 'killed' Zhu Ziji using a Class III Magic Tool.

Of course, compared to that, Zhu Ziji wasn't less impressive either, being able to escape from so many Incense Fire Dao cultivators, even by faking his death, was extraordinarily difficult.

At least Wang Ba didn't have this confidence.

However, he suddenly remembered that the other party was ranked last in the survival list. An unreliable speculation arose in his heart:

"Could it be that he uses the trick of playing dead every time he's in danger?"

"If that's the case, no wonder the survival rate of his teammates is so low."

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him played dead, how could his Qi Refining cultivators withstand the attack of the Incense Fire Dao cultivators? Surviving even one or two would be considered a heavensent luck.

Zhu Ziji, of course, did not know Wang Ba's thoughts, but even if he did, he would probably only say one thing, you are quite perceptive.

He appeared somewhat proud and said:

"However, despite this, I have also found the weak point of this Li Canghai!"

"Since you have also completed your mission, follow me later and find a few nearby teams. You help me block those insignificant fishes of the Incense Fire Dao, and I can defeat them by myself!"

"I… follow you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was taken aback.

Detecting Wang Ba's doubting tone, Zhu Ziji's face immediately darkened:

"What? Is there a problem?"

"The purpose of my trip is to eliminate this Li Canghai, and you naturally need to cooperate with me!"

Wang Ba instantly wanted to refuse.

His task was just to set a formation at the location of the Luolan Mountain. There was no need for him to follow Zhu Ziji to kill Li Canghai.

Moreover, even if there was such a task, he would rather fail than undertake this risk.

Joking, he would be mad to actively seek trouble with the cultivators of the Incense Fire Dao. If his knowledge of the "Book of Yin God's Grand Dream" was exposed, it would be endless trouble.

However, when he saw the coldness in Zhu Ziji's eyes, Wang Ba hesitated.

He had no doubt that if he refused, the next second he would be blown up by the other party.

Even though the other party's state clearly wasn't at its peak, Wang Ba did not dare to gamble at all.

In front of Zhu Ziji, who had a wealth of combat experience and a cultivation base at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment, and even at the peak, there was not a single chance of Wang Ba surviving.
