Chapter 2023: Chapter 79: Intimidation_3
“Let’s leave here first, Chen, can you sense the location of your clone?”
Wang Ba looked at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan, hearing this, quickly closed his eyes, and soon opened them again, pointing in a distant direction:
“It’s in that direction, somewhat far. Everyone be careful, if anything happens, do not get separated, otherwise, in this place, it’s easy to lose track of those around you.”
“Also, be wary of the treasure hunters.”
Everyone nodded and without delay, heightened their vigilance, and cautiously took flight.
Almost at the same moment, from the smooth surface of the entrance behind them, figures flew out swiftly with a ‘shoo’ sound.
These figures were numerous in number, making a loud noise, and seeming a bit impatient, even Wang Ba and the others, who had already flown a short distance, couldn’t help but be drawn by the commotion.
Their gazes met at that instant!
Also at that moment, Wang Ba immediately sensed the concealed malice in these people’s eyes!
His eyes narrowed slightly.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
These people’s gazes instinctively avoided them.
“They’re treasure hunters! Strange, they seem to be targeting us.”
Chen Xuan’s tone carried a hint of surprise and confusion.
Wang Ba’s expression remained unchanged as he quickly transmitted his voice to everyone:
“Head deeper in, shake them off.”
Being in unfamiliar territory without knowing how many treasure hunters were around, Wang Ba never fought unprepared battles. So, he immediately thought of using the Sea Market’s unique ‘terrain’ to shake off the opposition.
Everyone heard Wang Ba’s arrangement and had no objections.
Without a trace of disturbance, they turned around, as if nothing had happened, and continued to fly into the distance.
Although Yu Yu wanted to try something, he hesitantly glanced at the sleeve of Wang Ba’s robe and followed honestly.
However, just as Wang Ba and the others were gradually getting distant, the treasure hunters cloaked in shadows behind exchanged glances with their peers around them. Finally, someone couldn’t hold back and shouted:
“Is the person up front the Taiyi Mountain Master of the Primitive Demon Mountain? My master invites you…”
Wang Ba and the others continued on as if they hadn’t heard, heading further in.
“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
A treasure hunter sneered, and his figure suddenly flew out from among the others, closing in on Wang Ba with ghost-like speed, as his Dao Domain erupted!
It turned out he was a mid-stage Unification Great Cultivator with a Class VI Dao Domain!
His sudden outburst was like a stone splashing in a pond, and in an instant, several figures that were left behind shot forward like fish!
Their auras surged dramatically, all of them mid-stage Unification!
The other treasure hunters with slightly lower cultivation bases looked unpleasant when they saw so many mid-stage Unification practitioners making a move.
Although they had anticipated a bitter fight, they hadn’t expected so many peers and such a swift action.
“Now we can’t catch them!”
“Just snatch others then!”
“Hurry, hurry! Snatch other people!”
Seven to eight mid-stage Unification practitioners simultaneously reached for Wang Ba, their Dao Domains like mountains. The pressure forced Wang Ba’s Yellow Dao Domain to rise silently, hovering above his head!
Seeing the Yellow Dao Domain above Wang Ba’s head, everyone was initially startled, then overjoyed!
“Fourth class… it’s only fourth class!”
“Haha! He’s mine now!”
The first treasure hunter’s eyes were full of joy and triumph… and astonishment!
At the moment when he was about to grab the Taiyi Mountain Master, a red-cloaked figure silently took a step forward.
But with just this step, he seemed to see an ancient Divine Mountain immovable for tens of thousands of years, blocking his way, making him feel incredibly small and weak…
Boom!
He collided with this Divine Mountain.
Immediately after, the second, third…
The eight mid-stage Unification practitioners realized something was wrong at once, tried hard to avoid, yet still uncontrollably crashed toward the red-cloaked woman.
The Dao Domain trembled violently, then collapsed back suddenly!
The Primordial Spirit exploded!
A following invisible force pushed them far away, landing them directly on the ground near the entrance.
It was unknown whether they were dead or alive!
The pursuing treasure hunters were all aghast.
Despite her exceedingly ugly appearance, the red-cloaked woman at this moment had a cold and indifferent gaze, like a Divine Spirit overlooking all beings from high above a mountain, she did not speak, only casually glanced at them.
Then she turned and left calmly.
Silence enveloped the place!
Swoosh—
Several more figures flew out from the mirror, immediately spotting Wang Ba and the others disappearing in the distance.
Before they could rejoice, they noticed the figures fallen in front of them, and their pupils constricted!
“These treasure hunters… are Lotus Master of the Ghost Heavenly Palace, and Iron Broken of the Melt Gold Realm… They are all Class VI Dao Domain cultivators, how come they all…”
Several people looked at each other.
The leader, Zu Wenqiu, felt a shock in his heart.
They had followed these treasure hunters almost simultaneously, just seconds apart.
Even for him, achieving what happened before them in such a short time was impossible.
And seeing the composed departure of Taiyi Mountain Master and his group, it revealed some truths.
In other words, among those from the Primitive Demon Mountain, there might be a practitioner with strength surpassing him, in the late-stage of Integration!
“Shall we keep pursuing?”
A cultivator from the Jade Pot Realm couldn’t help but ask.
Zu Wenqiu rarely showed hesitation, but then looked at the figures staying mid-air and those hidden in the spatial folds around, now vaguely exposing themselves, vaguely sensing the shock and solemnity in their hearts at this moment.
“Maybe they know something, it wouldn’t hurt to understand a bit first…”
He whispered.
However, in his heart, his conjecture became more resolute.
This Primitive Demon Mountain surely hides a significant secret!
A force never seen before, unexpectedly having a practitioner with overwhelming late-stage Integration strength and a massive amount of spirit food resources…
Not just him, as the treasure hunters around, at this moment, their eyes were lit with a stronger greed!
“We must first take this news back.”
Yet, at this moment, Zu Wenqiu suddenly felt something, couldn’t help but raise his head to look into the distance.
Other treasure hunters also raised their heads involuntarily.
Above the vast prairie, the sky was wrinkled and twisted, with sunlight…
Unknowingly, clouds laced with ethereal Immortal Energy refracted faintly, and within the depths of the clouds, faintly revealing pavilions, courtyards, and rockeries…
“A mirage!?”
